Foreign Service Jobs Rotated To
Ease Discomforts And Avoid Stress
Bv JANE EADS
WASHINGTON There's a
Job lor you in one of those far
away places you've been dream
ing about if you are between the
ages of 21 and 35 and can fill
all qualifications. The State De
partment's Division of Foreign
Service seeks several hundred
stenographers and a few clerk
typists for jobs in the United
States' 300 foreign service posts
throughout the world.
The entrance salary is $2,525
a year. If you prove satisfactory
you get an automatic $120a-year
raise and will be considered for
promotion as vacancies arise. In
addition, some allowance is made
for those working under unusual
or difficult conditions and at
posts where living costs are in
excess of those in Washington.
Applicants for foreign service
jobs must have been a citizen of
the United States for at least
five years and must be willing
to accept assignment to any for
elgn post. Only single persons
without dependents are accept
able for appointment to positions
of a clerical nature. They must
be In excellent physical condition
and able to pass a physical exam
ination comparable to those re
quired by the Army and Navy
for service overseas. All appli
cants are subject to a security
and suitability investigation. Per
sonnel officers warn that the
irevaillng hazards at the ma
orlty of American foreign serv
ce posts are relatively greater
than at home.
"Ordinary protective measures
which are taken for granted In
the United States simply do not
exist at many olaces abroad," they
say. "With few exceptions, It is
risky to drink the water direct
from the public supply, and fresh
milk Is unsafe or non-existent.
Although health hazards vary In
degree and type, they are ex
treme at about one-third of the
posts."
Adverse factors are extremes
in climate and altitude, limitation
In varieties of food, exposure to
exotic diseases, inadequate hospi
tals and medical service, unavoid
able anxiety and stress due to
crisis and other hardships.
For these reasons a policy of
rotation of personnel Is observed,
and assignments are ordinarily
not less than two or more than
four years In duration and trans
fers may occur on short notice.
Thus an average career involves
several changes with respect to
culture, language, health and
living conditions.
Government Again Sued
As Aftermath Of Flood
PORTLAND, May 18.-P
Last year's flood has brought a
$100,000 damage, suit against the
government.
The suit, Involving the largest
claim against the Portland
Housing Authority and other fed
eral agencies since legal actions
began in the Vanport disaster, is
by the Kernan Livestock Farms,
Inc. Attorney's fees of $20,000
also are asked.
The plaintiff charges the fed
eral agency cut the Denver Ave
nue levee "wrongfully and tor
tuously" and removed dirt and
gravel. The gap broken by the
flood waters was bridged, lessen
ing the value of the protective
works for Peninsula Drainage
District No. 2, the complaint says.
