New York rimrs News Harriet. WASHINGTON. THOSE CAREER DIPLOMATS who long have watched the very different career df Representative John J. Rooney of Brooklyn, with fascination resembling that of the dove for the serpent, will not expect too much of his promises to President -4 4 budget, are sufficient for illustration. On Jan.

20, 1958, the following Q. and A. occurred while the chairman, frequently exclaiming "This is fantastic!" was dissecting requests for "booze allowances for Rooney: What do you mean "promotion of United States national interests" for which you are requesting Deputy Assistant Secretary Hall: That would be in terms of representation relating to our relationships with officials who are in positions of influence in the government. Q. These are still foreign officials? A.

Yes, sir. Q. How about the chief of police, would he be there again? A. No, he would be in the first category (officials dealing directly with Americans traveling abroad). Q.

Why are you leaving him out of the second category? He's always an important person. A. We are trying to make a more meaningful breakdown for us and for the committee. This would include journalists, foreign office officials. Q.

I have been looking at this for 13 or 14 years, and this breakdown is downright ingenious. It is still all for entertainment, is it not? With the exception of the ceremonials? A. Yes, sir. Last April 5 Rooney was examining Deputy Assistant Secretary Brown on budget costs for foreign language training of department personnel, with emphasis on the case of one trained in Chinese but then posted in London. Q.

What will he do, spend his time in Chinatown? A. There will be opportunities for dealing with (British diplomats) concerned with Far Eastern affairs. By a Post -Dispatch Pholoe.ra.pher. MRS. DON H.

ZIMMER, 1727 Beecher drive, Dellwood. and her seven-pound, 13-ounce daughter, on of first bibies born in St. Louis are in 1961, LONDON, Jan. 3 (AP) A fresh translation of the New Tes-; lament into modern English, which has taken 13 years to write, will go on sale in Britain this year. The work, known as the New English Bible, is regarded by church leaders as the most important translation since James I of England issued the Anglican Authorized Version 350 years ago.

The up-to-date version of the New Testament endeavors to present afresh the meaning of the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. It was undertaken by a joint committee of all the churches in Britain, with the exception of the Roman Catholics, under the chairmanship of the Bishop ot Winchester. The new work will be published by the Oxford and Cam-bridge University presses in March, and 500,000 copies will be run off in the initial printing. Eventually the new Bible will include a translation of the Old Testament, but seven years of further work will be necessary before this is complete. The new Bible disclaims any denominational or doctrinal leaning.

DENTISTS TO GIVE TUCKER FIRST ACHIEVEMENT AWARD The first annual Achievement Award of the Greater St. Louis Dental Society will be presented to Mayor Raymond R. Tucker of St. Louis Monday at the society's dinner-dance at 7:45 p.m. in Le Chateau Restaurant, 10405 Clayton road.

Mayor Tucker will be cited "primarily for his continued interest in the general health of the community and secondarily for his staunch backing of flori-dation of the city waiter supply," said James Brophy, executive secretary of the society. He was selected by a committee composed of Dr. Fred Fabric of the orthodontics department of the Washington University School of Dentistry, chairman; Dr. Leroy Bolmg, de-an of the Washington University dental school, and Dr. Stephen Forest, dean of the St.

Louis University School of Denistry. New officers of the society will be installed at the dinner. They are: Dr. J. Findley Smartt, president; Dr.

E. C. Brooks, first vice president; Dr. John J. Pur-cell, second vice president; Dr.

Val H. Frederich, secretary- treasurer; Dr. Gordon Fisher, librarian. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (AP)-The word has gone out on what to wear at the various official functions connected with the presidential inauguration of John F.

Kennedy. The inaugural committee said it is sending informal memos to those who have accepted invitations because it has received many urgent inquiries. The big question already has been settled the black silk top hat will be in style at the Jan. 20 ceremonies. There had been speculation about this because President Eisenhower broke tradition at his inaugurations by donning a black Homburg.

The inaugural committee, knowing that the state governors will want to wear the same type attire as Kennedy, sent them a special memo on the subject: It will be formal day dress cutaway coat, striped trousers and black top hat. The committee said an informal consensus on Capitol Hill indicates that those apeparing on the platform at the swearing-in ceremonies also are likely to dress as Kennedy does. For other spectators, the committee also had a word: The men may be expected to wear business suits. But the committee neglected to suggest anything for women ANHEUSER-BUSCH FLOAT WINS ROSE PARADE PRIZE A float entered by St. Louis in the seventy-second Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena, yesterday won first place in its category.

But nevertheless it R0ney Is notable that Rooney granted the request of the President-elect henceforth to permit sufficient flexibility in these allowances to make it possible for career diplomats to fill ambassadorial posts which hitherto they have been unable to afford. At London, Paris, Rome and a few other embassies the incumbents are obliged to spend their own money to represent the United States in a fitting manner. Therefore the appointees have mostly been rich non-professionals chosen for political reasons.

Amidst Palms and Plush. Seldom has there been a more striking demonstration of the toothing effects on a congressional watchdog of an environment perfectly suited to the purpose. There he was, glowing in the charming presence of the young President-elect whose nomination he had stoutly championed; basking and golfing in the Florida sun, sniffing reviving salt air, perhaps even refreshed by dips in the turquoise sea and the salt-water swimming pool that is even closer to the delightful winter residence of the Kennedys.

(With fine irony.) So Instead of speaking English, they will sit in the London office and talk Chinese? A. (As bravely as possible.) Yes, sir. To use Rooney's own appropriate simile, even the Palm Beach treatment obviously could not "leash" this watchdog-for-the-people to allow the "floodgates" against representation allowances to be "unleashed."
