  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.

  • Francis V. Du Pont in Context
    Before the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956: Francis V. Du Pont In Context By Richard F. Weingroff It’s never a good idea to take over for a legend. You just might some day be as forgotten as Commissioner of Public Roads Francis V. (Frank) du Pont is today. He had the dubious distinction of following a legend on April 1, 1953, when he replaced Commissioner of Public Roads Thomas H. MacDonald. MacDonald had headed the Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) since March 1919 through a series of title and agency name changes. Throughout the highway community nationally and internationally, MacDonald was recognized as the greatest figure of his era. He was widely respected in Congress, especially in the public works committees and roads subcommittees, and had been retained after he hit the mandatory retirement age of 70 by President Harry S. Truman to avoid disruption during the Korean War. In 1919, his title was Chief of BPR. That became his nickname. Those who knew him called him the Chief or Mr. MacDonald. Anyone calling him “Tom” or “Thomas” clearly did not know him well.1 Two months after the start of the Eisenhower Administration, MacDonald retired on March 31. Actually, he was fired because the new Administration wanted control of the Federal-aid highway program and its funding (about half the Commerce Department’s budget). That would not be possible if MacDonald remained in office in view of his stature and relationship with congressional leaders. On April 1, 1953, he looked on as Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks administered the oath of office to the new Commissioner of Public Roads, Francis V.
