Kicking Protocol About
To Please De Gaulle
* By JACK STINNETT
WASHINGTON — Insofar as
the State Department is con
cerned, protocol is “the rules pre
scribing etiquette in ceremonies
of state”, or. in social functions
attended by representatives of
other countries to this nation.
It’s important, too; so import
ant that the department has a di
vision of experts, headed by Stan

: ley Woodward, whose responsibil
( ity it is to figure out everything
are fired for visiting dignitaries.
This may seem silly to a lot of
folks who think international re
lations would move forward fast
I er if negotiators would take off
their coats, slip down their gal
luses and forget about how* far
from the head of the table they
were seated.
However, protocol has its
uses, and some of them are vita!,
indeed, in the relations of one
country with another. No better
example exists than in the visit
here of Gen. Charles de Gaulle.
* * *
Officially Gen. de Gaulle is just
another Free Frenchman as far
the United States is concerned.
His National Committee of Lib
eration had not been recognized
as even the Interim government'
ci liberated France. He couldn’t
possibly be recognized as a head
of state.
But in the case of Gen. de
Gaulle, the State Department vir
tually threw the protocol book
out the window.
The 17 guns that saluted him
on arrival were four short of the
21 fired for the head of a state,
but that was about the only in
stance in which de Gaulle did not
get full honors.
Immediately after his arrival,
the general was welcomed by the
President. He stayed at comfort
able Blair house, the historic
mansion which is now the official
boarding house for kings, queens,
presidents and prime ministers
who come to call.
* * *
The State Depar'ment tossed
him a banquet. The War Depart
ment .assisted in a measure by
the Navy, gave him another sump
tuous dinner.
In addition to his talks with de
Gaulle, the President, himself,
planned a luncheon. |
Except for those four guns, no
head of state could have been
given any more attention. The
: object: To impress upon the gen
eral and Henri-Etienne Hoppenot,
head of the French legation in
i Washington, that even if the com
mittee hadn’t been formally rec
I ogmzed as the interim govern
ment of liberated France, there
] certainly wasn’t any reason to be-,
lieve it mightn’t be if the French
. in France desire it.
