Coincidence
Describing the road system by which U.S. aid moves across Africa, the New York Herald Tribune's Correspondent Allen Raymond wrote tactfully:
"I have seen a minor American diplomat recently accredited to a small Balkan State moving homeward over a crowded road, with 13 suitcases and a Hungarian wolfhound half the size of a Shetland pony. By some strange freak of international diplomatic courtesy the 13th suitcase and the hound had priority over fighting men equally anxious to get along in the westward stream."
On the page facing this dispatch the Herald Tribune printed, as luck would have it, a picture of Minister to Bulgaria George H. Earle 3d and a dog arriving by clipper at LaGuardia Field.
