PANAMA BEAUTY
POLITICAL POWER

By RAYMOND L, CLAPPER
Omitted States Staff Correspondent
PANAMA CITY, r. r,-t5y MaiD
"A dashing, vivacious black-eyed
Panamanian beauty, granddaughter
of Ex-President LIE Fevre, and So
cial leader of the republics capital,
is playing mans part in the af-
fairs of her nation, although women
are without the ballot there.
All bow down before the large
dark eyes of Anita Ehrman, especial
ly her grandfather, who is deeply
devoted to her and is power in
Panamanian affairs. And there
are others influential in the republic
who are suitors for the elusive hand
of Anita. To these Anita's fan is
mlghtier than pen or sword and it
is to Anitas brilliant mind that
many moves of the chess board Of
nitrate Panamanian politics can be
traced ssSs r,,.,
or a distinguished family here,
descended from Spanish, English and
Alsation French ancestry, educated
in the United States. Anita is without
the proyincialism Of many OF her
country-women and this has proved
a fortunate factor in the develop
ment OF Panama's international re-
lations. Widely acquainted in Wash
ington and in the society circles of
other American circles, her cordial
feeling and fascinating personality
have served time and time again to
smooth out some irritation. To the
surface observer she is a belle OF
the party, With admirers crowding
around her, but to the knowing Pan
amanan, there is likely serious talk
floating over her fan and the quiet
chat on the balcony over the peace
ful moonlit bay may as likely relate
to the affairs of state us to The pretty
compliments of Latin gallants.
