In New York
By JULIA BLANSHARD

New York.-Right in line with American recognition of Soviet Russia comes the fact that the St Moritz hotel in New York is the first American hotel (so far as is known) to fly the official Soviet red flag out of it's front windows. It flew it, in fact, two whole days before Russian recognition became an established fact and this is how it happened.
 Being right up on its toes, the minute that the St Moritz heard that Commissar Maxim M. Lit. vinov proposed visiting America the hotel cabled Litvinov inviting him to be its guest while here. Being of a hopeful nature and knowing it's diplomatic etiquet, the hotel had a gorgeous U. s. $. R. flag made to hang out while their roof sheltered the, Russian envoy. Unfortunately, Litvinov went directly to Washington and didn't even reply to their invita- tion.
 z However, a few days later the noted Russian musician, Sergei Radamsky. and his talented, so- prano wife, Marie Williams, arriv- ing in New York from a six month concert tour of Russia which was sponsored by the Soviet government, went to the St Mor- itz to stay. Here were two Rus sians, in good Soviet standing, stopping right in the hotel. The St MoritZ was not slow to grasp it's golden opportunity. Immed:- ately the beautiful red flag was unfurled and thar she fiies.'' Remember Technocracy?
 Technocracy is rearing it's head again, this time because Harold Loeb, the Guggenheim heir who has been backing Howard Scott, now insists that technocracy must have a program of action and that he, Loeb. intends to try to "sell the idea of technocracy" to Mrs Roose- welt. Of course theoretical How ard Scott, father of technocracy, ,' doesn't approve. So they have split Harold Loeb may be remem- bered as the Chicago gentleman who was supposed to mind it ter ribly because Ernest Hemingway put him in "The Sun Also Rises. !"

 Ageless Woman
 Being character right out of Gertrude Stein's Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas' doesn't even be- gin to describe how unusual and fascinating Artist Janet Scudder (now in New York; really is. She was one of the group of artists ln the Gertrude Stein circle in Paris. at that time successful society sculptor. However, one day she got terrific neuritis in one hand and the specialist diagnosed it as tho result of handling damp clay. "I decided no sculpture was worth be- ing a cripple over," Miss Scudder explained. 50 I took up paint ing" Apparently just that easily she switched her artistic medium. There soon is to be a show of her paintings here.
 The small vanities of most wo- men mean nothing to person of Janet Scudder's caliber. The other day someone asked this dynamic age-less, clear-eyed woman how old she was. Either 57 or 65, don't know which," was her dis concerting answer. Seems that the first time she got a passport she had difficulty in getting a birth certificate and when it arrived it was in her older sisters name. To this day, Janet Scudder doesn't know whether the age registered on it was her own, which would make her 65, or whether it was her sisters age and she is eight years younger ~. She has never been curious enough to inquire about it.
