The Secretary’s decision was| reached in response to the protest Vice-President Charles Curtis nst the ruling of former Sec-| of State Kellogg that his n-law, Mrs. Edward Gann, and his official hostess, be seated at official dinners below the wives of the diplomats. Secretary Stimson, in answer to a requ from the diplomatic corps, also from officials, for a rul- ing, held the former Secretary’s ruling was correctly set forth ac- cording to the precedents of recent years but the State Department has no cuthority to determine the social status of any except foreign representatives. He said that de- cisions as to precedence which Am- | erican officials’s wives be received within homes of diplomats rests| y with the discretion of the of that corps themselves.
