The island, one of the world's biggest, and particularly its cap- ital, Tananarive, appears to have some ysis qualifications for such a role. Formerly known as Madagas- car, this republic is the only controlled M place near Africa where Far oried MCIn East, Middle East, Africa and Europe have met, blended and 'formed a handsome, .gracious, _ harmonious whole in a people 27 ' iwho with pride call themselves ashed Malgache ONE BASIC LANGUAGE The forefathers of these 5,000,- "000 people may have come from Indonesia or Borneo, or the black African coast.

'Trade Commission Stenos Wander OTTAWA (CP)--There are no | stay-at-home stenographers in | Canada's trade commissioner | service. * | The 42 women in this branch of the federal government work in a climate range from Switz- erland to Singapore. They serve in 21 countries among the 49 where Canadian trade offices are busy promoting Canadian exports. "We start getting excited the minute we find out where we are going next," said Josephine Kist, pretty blonde from Winni- peg who recently returned from Pakistan. She is among 15 foreign serv- ice stenographers now cooling their heels in Ottawa. Ottawa duty between postings, along with generous home leave, en- ables the stenographers to maintain their Canadian outlook while spending most of their time abroad. OFTEN SURPRISED After a year's training here they are sent where qualified local help is scarce, or where a Canadian is needed to handle confidential documents They must be between the ages of 23 and 45. Some go to places they've never heard of--and there is often a surprise at the journey's end. When posted to Leopoldville, vivacious-Montrealer Simone Morel thought she was headed for an African village. When she left The Congo last August she took with her memories of a startlingly modern city. Her bilingual ability takes her next to Paris. At coffee breaks here the globe-trotting stenographers in- dulge in "place dropping," at which they excel as world trav- ellers. "We travel every day of our lives," is the way Miss Morel puts it. "We're all breathless waiting for a conversation pause so we can get in a word about our last post." SINGAPORE FASCINATING Large cosmopolitan cities are the glamor spots, but haven't all the advantages. 'Hardship posts," so designated becasue of| climate and isolation, have a spirit of comradeship among the diplomatic colony not found| and Singapore during the last 15 years. The work has variety. Where the trade commissioner is Can- ada's only representative at de- tached posts, there are duties that normally are the work of the department of external af- fairs. In Pakistan, Miss Kist's work included stenographic dut- ies for projects such as the Warsak dam that are Canada's contribution to the Colombo plan. Many of these women, having left jobs on main streets across Canada to satisfy a wanderlust, now experience modes of living where once undreamed of lux- eries become necessities. Miss Kist had a bearer in Pakistan to bring meals to her hotel room; Miss Morel's house- keeping chores in The Congo ete taken care of by a house 0] "You haven't the energy to scrub a floor after a day's work in a hot climate," she said. Professors Ask Change In Cuba Plan NEW YORK (AP) -- New England college od. A and writers took a half-page ad- vertisement in The Times Tues- day night to urge President Kennedy to revise U.S. policy towards Cuba. In an open letter to the pres. ident, the professors riticized the Central Intelligence Agency for having "blundered in an in. excusable and almost inconceiv- able way" in what the letter de- scribed as the CIA's attempt at a counter-revolution in Cuba. The statement, described as written by members of the Har- vard University faculty, urged the administration to 'reverse the present drift towards Amer- ican military intervention in Cuba" and to attempt "to de- tach the Castro regime from the Communist bloc."
