geotis uuiloim to mark his appeaiance at the
feliah's com t created nimh amusement heie
among people In the state dcpiitmenl who
came in contact with Mi. Winston white ho
was one of the ablest pupils In the school of

At the depaitment the statement was
made that the stoiy could not

vveio entitled to weat uniforms at foreign

The f.u-l that civilian dicss was to be worn

must have been made known to Mr. Wins
