A-12 THE SUNDAY STAR, Washington, D. C. StTNDAT, JOLT «, lWi With the Foreign Service Department Career Started at Age 16 Sangers Plan and Decorate Room; Former Ambassador Visits Indiana ' By Selwa Roosevelt For a woman to enter the eerv r ice of the Department of State at the age of 16 is unheard of— but Mrs. Frances Dabell, now a training specialist at the Foreign Service Institute, is one who did. “That was so many years ago, I hate to tell you the date,” she laughed, “but it was in 1916, when I happened to be traveling abroad." Mrs. Dabell had gone to visit her brother, Mr. Albert Fi Nufer, who is now United States Ambas sador to the Argentine. At that time Mr. Nufer was a young foreign service officer stationed in Germany. America had not yet entered World War I, but our mission there had been left with the responsibility of looking after British Interests . “I was at loose ends,” Mrs. Dabell explained, “and my brother needed help desparately, so I soon found myself an em ploy of the United States Gov ernment.” And her career with the State Department has continued for almost 40 years with only brief Interruptions. After America and Germany severed diplomatic relations, Mrs. Dabell returned to the states and subsequently was as signed to Cuba, Rotterdam, Cologne, Antwerp and Cairo. During the Cairo assignment she married and resigned from the service in 1934. She was asked to return in 1940. Because of her fluency in four languages Spanish, German, Dutch and French—the depart ment was most anxious to have her assist with tile refugee and displaced persons problems brought on by World War n. She then served in Havana, Mexico City, Cairo and Dublin and since 1952 has been with the Foreign Service Institute. Among her present duties is the job of giving an orientation course to newcomers to the de partment who are about to* go overseas for the first time.
