'""" JT - " . i M '' Jt s. ' -f. J -f. Information Man From The League To The United Nations VERNE P. CLEMENT, of Brev ard, who was elected the other state senator from the 5-county district. Mr .Clement will serve with William Medford of Waynes- ville, when the General Assembly meets in January. By JANE EADS WASHINGTON Stocky, genial Arthur Sweetser was a member of the League of Nations information section at Geneva for many years from 1918 on. Now he heads the United Nations' permanent Wash ington information bureau. Financed by the UN, Mr, Sweet ser's eight-room set-up on H street in the Capital opened only a cou ple of weeks ago, but already it has buen visited by many members of the dilpomatic corps, lawmakers and press. The Latin-Americans and Russians seem to be the most frequent callers. The bureau is operated more or less like a refrence bureau. A teletype machine hooked up with the information ofTice of the UN assembly in New York clicks busi ly away all day long. Day-by-day press releases pile up on tables in the ofTice. They too emanate from New York. The Secretary General's reports for the last U.N meetings, reports of the economic council, debates speeches, resolutions and all sorts of data pertinent to UN are avail able. Mr. Sweetser started out as a newspaperman in New England. During World War I he was a war correspondent in France ard Bel gium. From 1918 to 1942 he was associated in one way or another with the League of Nations. In 1942 he became deputy direc tor of the Office of War Informa tion in Washington. Before the UN office opened here he was special adviser to UN's Secretary General Trygve Lie. Assisting Mr. Sweetser is Boles law Leitgeber, Polish diplomat and newspaper man. UN's Washington office is one of a group to be opened in strate gic spots throughout the world. The next probably will be opened in Paris. Back in the days when penman ship was an art, a gentleman was known by the ink he used. He mixed his writing fluid with great care according to the for mula of "His Majesty's stationers." Even to this day, this ink is known to authorities as a "very good for mula." The ink had a base of iron powder which left a well-nigh per manent impression. If it faded at all like some inks do the iron base ink left a residue which re flected light and continued legible through generations. This ink was used by the men who penned such documents as the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights, still brightly legible today. Most of the trouble over fading inks came after the 1870's. Dr. Thomas P. Martin, of the Library of Congress Manuscripts section, says. That's when wood pulp pa per came into use, together with chemical inks. Custom now dictates that all im portant documents and signatures shall be in what is known as "rec ord ink" ... a moden counter part of His Majesty's formula with an iron base.
