HILTON, PRESIDENT The AMERICAN FOREIQN SERVICE PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION PLEASE REMEMBER THAT There are two Associations that carry on activities of interest and benefit to Foreign Serv¬ ice personnel. • N These Associations are: The American Foreign Service Association The American Foreign Service Protective Association, Inc. Both Associations are voluntary and unofficial organizations. Both are incorporated in the District of Columbia. The two Associations have different membership and different requirements of eligibility for membership. Their operations are completely separate and distinct. Membership in one of the Associations has no bearing whatever upon membership in the other. The records, the files, the accounts, the paid staff, and all business of the two Associations are completely different. Please handle your correspondence with and your payments to the two Associations quite separately. The only activity of the American Foreign Service Protective Association, Inc. is to admin¬ ister the group insurance plan that is described in the Protective Association booklet of June, 1957. This plan is a combination of group life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and hospital surgical major medical expense insurance. Participation in the plan is limited to certain categories of personnel of the FOREIGN SERVICE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE. All other activities undertaken in behalf of Foreign Service personnel are handled by the other Association—the American Foreign Service Association. These include personal purchases, shipment and insurance of personal effects, including automobiles, the Foreign Service Journal, the Foreign Service Club, etc. The new booklet “Croup Insurance Program—June, 1957,” issued by the Protective Asso¬ ciation has been mailed to all members and to administration officers in the field. It contains complete information about the insurance program. Copies of the booklet of March, 1955 and of the Protective Association circular of November 30, 1956 now should be destroyed. ♦ Address applications and inquiries to: THE AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION c/o Department of State, Washington 25, D.C., or 1908 G Street, N.W., Washington 6, D.C. + = 2 FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL published monthly by the AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE ASSOCIATION AUGUST, 1957 Volume 34, Number 8 CONTENTS page 8 IMPROVING THE FOREIGN SERVICE by Roscoe Drummond AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE 12 MIRS AND MOUNTAINS ASSOCIATION by Nicholas Vanderlin McCausland Honorary President JOHN FOSTER DULLES, Secretary of State 19 TEN YEARS AFTER Honorary Vice-Presidents THE UNDER SECRETARIES OF STATE by Lady Barbara Ward Jackson THE DEPUTY UNDER SECRETARIES OF STATE THE ASSISTANT SECRETARIES OF STATE 20 THE BIGGEST FROG IN THE WORLD THE COUNSELOR by Ambassador Ellis O.
