In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Mrs. Maxwell Gluck wife of
the newly appointed ambassa
dor to Ceylon tells reporters in
Washington that she agrees with
Mg. Eisenhower that her hus
band WILL BECOME an expert
on Ceylon even if he isn't one
NOW.
She says a lot of the criticism
of him came from "away off in
left field" and adds that in her
opinion he is a good citizen who
wrfnts to serve his country and
has the ability to do so.
T ET'S take a sharp look at this
- man Gluck.
What's wrong with him?
YlfELL, for one thing, he has
" some money. He contribut
ed $36,000 to two Eisenhower
ca npaigns 18,000 in 1952 and
arfothr $18,000 in 1956.
He'was appointed ambassador
to Ceylon a few weeks back,
and when his appointment came
up for confirmation in the sen
ate he was fried out in the pan.
In the course of the frying he
was forced to admit that he
didn't know the name of the
Ceylonese prime minister.
That did it.
He got the horse laugh from
all the professionals. '
WATT a minute.
Do you know the name of
the prime minister of Ceylon? I
don't either. But I don't think
that disqualifies me for service
to my country. I could look it tip
pretty quickly.
He was asked if he had no
ticed the recent report of the
committee sent by United Na
tions to study Hungary. Did you
notice It? Neither did I. But
again I don't think that would
disqualify me for public service.
I could soon find it and read it.
H1
fE WAS then asked: "What
are the problems in Ceylon
you think you can deal with?"
According to the official tran
script, this was his reply:
"One of the problems are THE
t'i PEOPLE there. I believe I can
fX least I think I can establish
Vi good relationship and a good
f feeling among the PEOPLE
there toward the United States."
A FEW weeks ago in San Fran-
Cisco Virgil Pinckley, the
distinguished editor and publish
er of the Los Angeles Mirror,
who has been for a couple of
decades a world traveler and an
able commentator on world af
fairs, told the American Society
of Newspaper Editors that the
principal defect of our foreign
service in Southeast Asia (Cey
lon is in Southeast Asia) is that
the professional striped - pants
diplomts we send there become
so involved in the social proto
col of the capitals -to which they
are assigned that they fail utter
ly to get over to the PEOPLE
the real warmth and friendliness
of the people of the United
States and their desire to be
helpful to peoples all over the
world.
He added that if our diplo
matic representatives are to be
genuinely useful they must get
away from $e upper social crust
in the countries to which they
are sent and GET DOWN
AMONG THE PEOPLE.
T ET'S not sell this man Gluck
short at least yet.
Maybe he has something. At
any rate, his wife, who knows
through the wilderness because
of an injured leg. He lived on
fish, reptiles and deer.
An important factor in his
survival, he said, was the
thought of "God, my wife and
my baby daughter."
On his return, the couple said
they planned a second honey
moon in Florida. But it never
came off. A short while later,
Mrs. Steeves and the baby
moved in with her mother in
Fairfield, outside Bridgeport.
Steevtjf took up residence in
Boiling Air Force Base in Wash
ington where is awaiting new
orders. ,
In Discussion Stage
Mrs. Steeves' lawyer, Paul
Cullinan, admitted Sunday that
a divorce was "in the discussion
stage." He would not elaborate.
.But Mrs. Steeves said the rift
dated from before the accident.
The couple has been married for
two years.
Steeves said in Washington
that his wife told him a week
ago that her mind was made up
on the divorce question.
"It's definitely not my deci
sion," he said. "It's hers."

Back Stairs: Flu Shots To Be Available
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press Writer
Washington fffl Back
stairs at the White House:
The new vaccine to ward off
the expected epidemic of Asiat
ic flu will become available to
the general public in small, then
increasing amounts within a
matter of days.
It has been available, howev
er, for some weeks to selected
and key figures of the Eisenhow
er administration.
Vaccine shots' for Cabinet
members were available .last
week.
New anti-epidemic medications
usually are tried out first on
federal personnel. In the case
of the flu vaccine there is a
definite reaction in some cases.
The government's information on
these reactions is not nearly as
complete as some federal phys
icians would like.
If the President himself has
received the vaccine it is cot
known. At least one of his Cab
inet members has turned it down
because of an allergy record.
This does not mean the vac
cine should not be used by the
public as soon as possible. When
there is a reaction it isn't very
serious; at least, according to
present public records.
could mean that he might get a
protective shot before he leaves.
Bob Hope comes to Washington

Another comedian, Jerry
Lewis, was in Washington re
cently and someone spread the
word that the .President and
Lewis might match tee shots.
It never came Off, however. The
explanation might be that Hope
and the President know each
other. Hope has played with Eis
enhower before.
