ChildrenSend
To World
Sons and Daughters
Of Diplomats
Broadcast.
BY PHYLLIS THOMPSON.

IF SUDDENLY there appears Z
youthful dictator in Peru, every
one present at the internationa
children's broadcast yesterday
afternoon will know exactly who HI
is-Martin Althaus, son Of the Nava.
Attache of the Peruvian Embassy ano
Sonora de Althaus! To 90 back bit
in explanation, for sofne years an
international Christmas broadcast has
taken place when the children of the
diplomatic corps speak words Of cheer
and greeting to the world. In far OF
Peru, across the Atlantic in England
Just over the border in Canada, II
matters not where, friends Of these
goodwill ENJOYS hear their voices
wishing the children of his or her
country and children the world over
merry Christmas and happy New
Year Martin Althaus was on the
program, and his speech and the de-
livery of it was something I shall never
forget.
Yesterday this event took place at
the Carton Hotel, and 1t is said that
the original idea was the brain child
Of Mrs. William Shippen, some seven
years ago. 1t is indeed a dramatic
incident as so many of the mothers
of these children present have said
to me. Just think, my mother in -
is actually listening in to the voices
of her grandchildren"
In most cases the youthful broad
casters Of good cheer wore the cos
tunes of their native land and a
sweeter picture could not be imagined
as they sat by quietly awaiting their
turn at the mike Beside them, the
Marine Band. respondent in their
pink coats, played appropriate music
and carols, and the national anthems
Of the l9 countries represented. The
participants ranged in age from 3
to 13 and the stable audience in
cluded parents, nannies and gov
ernesses and friends: also Mrs. Cordell
Hull, wife of the Secretary of State
who dropped in and asked if she might
listen to the interesting program
Needless to say, she received a royal
welcome.
Among the future radio announcers,
for to be sure many of the children
showed much promise, was Oswaldo
Lobo, 5year-old son of the Charge
d'Affaires Of Brazil and Nine Lobo.
Next came little Jacqueline van Troost-
enburg de Bruyn, daughter of the
Secretary of the Netherlands Lega-
ton and Nine Troostenburg de Bruyn,
looking adorable in her little Dutch
cap and costume. There was also
Cesar Augusta Caceres, son Of the First
Secretary Of the Legation of Honduras
and Sonora de Caceres, followed by Mia
and Blanka Breiska in the costumes
of their country, daughters of the
Counselor of the Czechoslovak Lega-
ton and Nine. Brejska. Great Britain
was represented by Camilla TORI
daughter Of the Military Attache and
Mrs. Torr, whose long speech was
beautifully presented in her charming
English voice. With wreath in her
hair and bedecked in her native dress,
Pola Fotitch, 6-year-old daughter of
the Minister of Yugoslavia and Nine
Fotitch, admitted quite frankly that
she was not frightened, as this was the
third time she had spoken on inter-
national broadcasts.
