As soon as Bohlen's standard four-year tour was up in 1957, Dulles took him out of Moscow and sent him to Manila. After Dulles' death, top State Department careermen urged Secretary of State Christian A. Herter to bring Chip Bohlen back into his special field of U.S.-Soviet relations.

...Gavin (TIME, Dec. 23). Both point to the weakness of the present organization of the Defense Department, which in effect sets U.S. military policy by compromise, and ends up letting each separate service go pretty much its own way. Doolittle and Gavin suggest that an integrated staff of military careermen standing above service rivalries could develop an overall U.S. war plan and parcel out service responsibilities within the framework of that plan.
