HAS RAPID RISE
Laurence Duggan Gains Top
1 Of State Department Di
vision In Five Years
Service Fires Ambitions.
By Preston O rover
WASHINGTON The state depart
ment always has been the aristocracy
of government service at least to
those outside looking In and this,
coupled with the new emphasis now
placed on Latin American relations,
has brought on a fever of ambitious
yearnings among young foderaiuti
Exciting to the lads who want to
do big things In the government Is
the unheralded but sensational rise
of young Laurence Duggan. In five
years this slender son of Harvard
bounded from hi first state depart
ment Job to chief of the division of
American republicsone of the top
rung places in the career service. And
be la only 33.
' Scores of promising college gradu
ates are examined each year by the
state department for the half-dozen
openings In the career service and
numbers of employes of other depart
ments take after-hour training in
foreign service schools hopeful that
the lightning will strike them (Imag
ine the thrill of being sent to Berlin
as third secretary of legation or as
signed to romantic Buenos Aires.)
Duggan Had Advantages
Duggan had something of a flying
start. He had a plentiful background
of family scholarship to begin with.
His father, Stephen Duggan, 1a pro
fessor of political science at the Col
lege of the City of Now York, and
director In a half-dozen scholarly and
diplomatic societies, including the
council on foreign relations of the
league of nations association, and the
Institute of International Education.
The Institute sent young Duggan
to South America In 1830 to expand
Its work there. He learned a lot,
made a favorable Impression, and
within a year was chosen by the state
department as research assistant In
the Latin American division. His pay
was $3,200 to begin with, quite a leap
above most starting aspirants, who
do well if they push above 92,000 at
the kickoff.
Duggan worked at his Job by day
and studied at night, won the atten
tion of Sumner Welles, under secre
tary of state, and tried to shed use
less elements of a slightly shy dispo
sition. By 1934 he was bringing
home 94,800 a year. By Sept. 1, 1035,
he drew $6,500 as assistant chief, and
two months later he headed the divi
sion at $8,000 a year. He was only
SO then. Even yet, at 33, he Is the
youngest executive .In the department.

Whltmore, resident state highway en
gineer here, ha received word that
bids will be received Monday, De
cember 10, at a meeting of the state
highway commission, for construction
of JO miles of highway from the Cal
ifornia line to the southern extremity
of the Job which now Is under con
tract to the Harold Blake Construc
tion company.
Completion of those two Jobs will
leave only 3.3 miles, from Siskiyou
ststlon to ths north end of the Blake
Job which was completed this fall,
to be completed on the new Siskiyou
highway.
Blake now Is moving his equip
ment to the currently-held contract
but Whltmore said It Is unlikely that
grading will begin before spring, prob
ably April 1. In fact, clearing prob
ably will be held up until nearly
that time, unless weather remains
suprlslngly fair during the winter
months.

Troubled Sleepers Get
Aid From Many Gadgets
NEW YORK If you think you
sleep like a log you're crazy. At
least tha scientists and bed salesmen
think so.
They say there are scores of dia
bolical disturbers of sleep that keep
you from going to sleep, bedevil you
after you do. and cause you to be
grumpy next day.
Of course they've devised gadgets
to purge all the roscnls.
The ordinary bed. It seems, Is passe.
Now, mattresses are made of a rub
bery, porous material, For the pam
pered madame there's a downy affair
and for her spartan hubby, a firm,
he-man one.
If mama and papa sleep In the
Aame bed, their preferences are taken
care of by a mattress hard on one
side, soft on the other, and with
an Invisible, bundling board in the
middle produced by a slight center
rldne,
But that's only one of the devices
rounded up by a New York store In
its Bleep shop.
Pillows come In every shnpo but
the one you've slept on for years.
For Instance, the "pancake" one Is
for people who like only a slight
head-lift; the Japanese has a slot
that preserves milady's coiffure; the
dust-free pillow Is for the sneezer.
Instead of burying yourself in a
heavy layer of blankets you an to
use a fluffy electric comforter on
which heat can be regulated.
If you're a fraldy-cat In the dark,
you use the faint flower-shaped neon
light to reassure you. Or If light
bothers you. then you wear an eye
shade. Nasty nolsrs arc thwarted by
ear stoppers; bad air by nose fllcers
and humidifiers,
When the lady decides to read
whJe hubby wants to sleep, a clash
is qu.-whed by a spotlight; ond when
she Insists on henrlng music while
he craves sleep, there's the silent
radio that whispers to her from un
der her pillow.
Resrorchers have saved their blg
Keat thunder tor outsmarting In
somnia. Sheep-counting is out. To
make you sleepy, they Instruct you
to sonk for 20 minutes In 102-dcgree
water, drink some warm milk, hop
into bed and turn on the "lulla
phone." It's drowry hum Is supposed to
lie the mot soporific sound science
can muster, has you yawning In no
time.
Ho hum. Turn out the lights
lyi'n sleepy.
