Ambassadors Draw Fire Over Political Appointments
Secretary of State Dulles defended political ambassadors like Maxwell Gluck and Earl T. Smith, saying campaign contributions should not bar diplomatic posts. He noted Gluck meets the three diplomat tests of character, sharp intelligence, and national interest, while Smith’s Cuba actions drew mixed critique. He cited Eisenhower era appointments of envoys who contributed to both major parties and referenced Gluck’s Senate testimony on Republican contributions and Southeast Asian leaders.

State Insurance Measure Signed in Wisconsin
Gov. Thompson signed a group term life insurance bill for state employees elected officials and legislators at about 60 cents per month per $1 000 of coverage. Eligible individuals may insure $1 000 per $3 000 of annual salary with the state covering the rest until dividends offset costs. The plan could cost roughly 400 dollars for 1957 59 with reductions later. A second bill allows merchants to issue non cash stamps redeemable for parking or transit rights, sparking debate. The governor also kept the sportsmen license fund allocation and vetoed three measures, including a broader state investment board power.
