Senator Frye asks about rumors regarding Thomas W. Cridler’s removal as the Third Assistant Secretary of State. Cridler has an excellent work history and Frye hopes the rumors are false. He believes selecting Herbert H. D. Peirce to replace Cridler would be a mistake as Peirce does not have the necessary experience for the role.
