'Staid State Department
Is Given Streamlining9
By HARRY W. FRANTZ,
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. (UP) The once staid old state
department has been "streamlined" to meet the changing needs
of a swiftly-moving world, and diplomatic observers remark its
added speed and efficiency.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull hu
caused little commotion aa be ao
- compllshed the modernisation of the
oldest and presumably most conserv
ative of the 10 great governmental
departments. He has effected extra
ordinary changes In the Internal and
external mechanism of the national
policy through the medium of de
part mental orders.
The archaic granite bulk of the
state department building has caused
the public customarily to think of
this department aa relatively back
ward among the other hurtling or
danisms of the "Kew Deal." Careful
examination suggests, however, that
"state" has become the most "mod
era" of the departments. In the
sense that Its organisms have been
adapted to meet functionally the
problems of a changing world that
operates by radio, air mat), the swift
Interchange of goods, and mass pub
lie opinion.
Latest evidence of the modern
trend In the department was the
establishment of a division of in
ternal communications, to attend to
International aspects of . problems
connected with telecommunications
radio, cable, telegraph and tele
phoneaviation and shipping. Ex
perts In aviation, telecommunica
tions, and shipping will centralize
the handling of these phases of
United States foreign relation!.
Chief of the new division Is
Thomas Burke, formerly head of the
specialties division of the depart
ment of commerce. Before the "New
Deal" he was engaged In business In
Latin-America and Europe. Jesse E,
Sauffstad was appointed assistant
chief.
Second of the newly-created dlvl-
slons which has deeply impressed
International observers Is the divi
sion of cultural relations, to be di
rected by Dr. Ben M. Cherrlngton,
formerly chairman of . the depart
ment of Internatlal relations In the
University of Denver.
This division meets the rising
need for an agency to strengthen
Unted atates cultural and Intellec
tual relations with other countries,
and corresponds to the world-wide
belief that governments must afford
points of helpful contact between
the peoples of various countries, as,
fir example, through literature, art.
music, and exchange of professors
and students.
The Immediate duty of thla divi
sion will be to accomplish admin
istrative tasks that grew out of the
convention for the promotion of Inter-American
cultural r e 1 a-t 1 o n s
adopted at the Buenos Aires peace
conference.
A third Important recent admin
istrative shift Inside the state de
partment related to the various re
search and editorial groups. Dr.
Hunter Miller, formerly the histori
cal adviser, was designated editor
of treaties. Carlton Savage, formerly
the assistant hostorlo&l advisor, was
designated assistant to the counselor
of the department of state, and
charged with the research studies
In matters relating to the formula
tion and execution of foreign poli
cies. The office of the geographer
was placed under supervision of the
chief or the division of research and
publications.
At Secretary Hull's Instance, con
gress authorised establishment of
an office known aa counsellor of
the department of state. In thla of
fice R. Walton Moore, former con
gressman, serves as Intimate ad
visor to the secretary of state on
Important policy matters.
Secretary Hull's administration has
also witnessed the steady reorgani
sation and strengthening of "for
eign service of the United States."
Intended to put this country's ex
ternal affairs as far as practicable
upon a non -political and profession
al basis. j
The United States now maintains !
between 700 and 800 career officers
In about 400 political and commer- j
clal centers.

Flourshing Racket Is Found in
Fake Trophies of Head Hunters
PHILADELPHIA (UP) M any of
the shriveled human heads sold to
scientists and tourists as the. victims
of the head-hunting Jlvaro Indians
of Ecuador are fakes, according to
Dr. Harry B. Wright, Philadelphia
explorer and dentist.
Racketeers obtain the heads of per
sons who died natural deaths and
palm them off as the genuine article,
according to Dr. Wright, who re
turned recently from his sixth expe
dition to South America.
The explorer cited a Guayaquil
man who obtained heads from rela
tives of dead persons by paying the
coet of burial. He said, however, that
the government of Ecuador was
stamping out the practice.
The imitation relics frequently In
clude heads of white persons whom.
Dr. Wright asserted, the Indians
never molest.
The dentist-explorer returned from
his expedition with three of the
shrunken heads, one of which, he
said, Is genuine. For six months dur
ing the summer he lived with the
Jlvaros.
He also brought with him 14 na
tive remedies, which he hopes may
be of some use to modern medical
science. One of the remedies It a
snake-bite cure which saved the Phil
adelphia n's life when a bush master
cut a double wound In bis foot after
