January 19, 1950
Cong
Senatór Jere Cooper telephoned the Secretary this
afternoon to inquire about the job status of his sister-
in-law, Mrs. Mildred R. Somers, who is employed in the
Division of Political Studies in the Department. Cenator Cong.
Cooper said he had been in touch with Mr. Webb several
weeks ago about his desire to get Mrs. Somers a P-4 rating,
but 30 far he had received no word about the likelihood of
a promotion for her.
Cong
The Senator then reviewed Mrs. Somers' case, stating
that Mr. Peurifoy, when he was in the Department, had told
him that since Mrs. Somers was only recently converted
to Civil Service status, she would have to serve until
Cetober (of last year) before she could get a promotion.
Since the time requirement had been met, he wondered If
something could not be done now.
Cong.
Mr. Acheson pointed out to the Sennter that he knew
about this matter but that the difficulty was that to give
Mrs. Somers a P-4 rating would mean a double promotion,
which could not appropriately be effected. The Secretary
said that if Mrs. Somers would be willing to transfer to
another division, the matter might be worked out, but It
appeared that she did not wish to do 30. The Secretary
said he would work on this and when he had a full report,
he would personally telephone the Senntor.
