Last week no less a diplomat than Secretary of State John Foster Dulles traveled to Seattle to acknowledge Ro-tary's influence. "You are here," he said, "because you share ideals in common." Tall, short, thin, fat, balding or bearded, none of the Rotarians seemed to care a fig for political hairsplitting. There were no thundering denunciations from the speaker's platform, no thinly veiled polit ical polemics, no sweeping resolutions. "We do not believe," said Rotary International Secretary George Means, "in resoluting about anything unless we can do something about...

Died. Major General Frank Ross McCoy, 79, "America's soldier-diplomat," who became a troubleshooter for Presidents from Theodore Roosevelt to Hoover; after long illness; in Washington, D.C. West Pointer McCoy emerged from World War I a medal-covered brigadier. As competent in striped pants as in uniform, McCoy roamed the world on diplomatic missions for the White House, helped set up the Cuban and Philippine governments, fed the "starving Armenians" in 1919, ran Nicaraguan elections, wound up his long career in 1949, when he decided that four years on the Far Eastern Commission were "long enough for . . . that...
