In 1950, he went to the White House as the assistant White House press secretary under Joseph Short. In 1953, John Foster Dulles asked him to come back to the State Department and be his Press Chief. Subsequently, in partnership with Jim [James] Loeb bought the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, the Adirondack Park's only daily newspaper based in Saranac Lake, where he was co-publisher-editor, jack-of-all-trades, and became president of the Adirondack Park Association, an association that covers all the communities of about a fifth of New York State, in the northeast corner; and advisor to the Governor on natural resources and conservation.
