DORIS PARKMVN.in middle life, found herself a diplomat’s wife in the most exposed city in Europe, Berlin. She accompanied her husband, the late General Henry Parkman, to Germany in 1946-1947, when he served as governmental adviser to General Clay. General Parkman returned in 1949-1950 as American representative on the Ruhr Authority, and again in 1954-1955 as Assistant U.S. High Commissioner. Throughout, one of Mrs. Parkman’s problems was how to entertain fellow diplomats, including the Russians — on a limited budget.
