Carroll S. Hinman, 73, a longtime State Department worker and retired official of the Agency for International Development, died of congestive heart failure Wednesday in Mount Vernon Hospital. He lived in Alexandria.
Mr. Hinman joined the State Department in 1951 and was promoted to chief of the Foreign Operations Administration’s evaluation branch two years later. He next worked for five years in Spain, where he was an official of the U.S. economic assistance program there.
After he returned to Washington in 1962, he worked at AID on programs for Africa and in 1967 was appointed director of the AID mission to Kenya and East Africa, where he spent two years. “He saw both the practical aspects and the idealistic aspects of the agency,” his wife, Jean Hinman, said yesterday. To do his job correctly, Mr. Hinman believed in working with the culture of the host country, no riding roughshod over it, his wife said. While on assignment overseas, he organized various international aid groups in the area, keeping them focused on the job at hand, she said. “Above all, he had total integrity,” said Mrs. Hinman. “He was kind of a rock, around whom other people could depend on. He always stood for them, even when the tide was running against him.”
While in Africa and Spain, Mr. Hinman and his staff worked primarily on education. He taught adult classes carried by Nairobi Radio, and he furnished at least 100 foreign instructors to a teacher’s college in East Africa. After he returned from Africa, he spent a year in the AID Washington office serving as “acting everything,” as his wife said. Because of the transition from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration to that of Richard M. Nixon, Mr. Hinman temporarily took over several jobs at the agency while political appointees were considered.
Mr. Hinman was born and raised in Yakima, Washington. He attended Central Washington College and received a master’s degree in public administration from Syracuse University. He moved to Washington after serving as an Army captain in World War II, and worked for the old Bureau of the Budget before joining the State Department. After his retirement, he traveled and read a lot, but “frankly, he was kind of an adviser to his family,” according to Mrs. Hinman.
He was also active in Northern Virginia civic affairs, particularly with his committee work for the Mount Vernon Citizens Association and as president of the Tauxemont Community Association.
Besides his wife, Mr. Hinman is survived by three sons, Jack Hinman of Alexandria, Donald Hinman of Lansing, Michigan, and Keith Hinman of Berkeley, California; a daughter, Andrea Elia of Dundee, Scotland; two sisters, Lorene Kozak of Seattle and Charlene Allman of Yakima; and five grandchildren.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Mount Vernon Unitarian Church. The family suggests that expressions of sympathy be in the form of contributions to Mount Vernon Hospital or United Community Ministries in Alexandria.
