Marking the social calendar,
along with the many delightful
coming-out parties, dinners and
luncheons for the buds of the sea-
son, are the numerous entertain
ments for the sub-debutante con-
tingent. One of the outstanding
festivities for a member of the
junior set was given last night
when Mr.. and Mrs. John Caswell
entertained for the latter's daugh-
ter, Miss Peggy Lansdowne.
About 80 contemporaries of the
pretty sub-debutante who will make
her formal bow to society next win
ter were invited to the Chevy Chase
Club for dinner and dancing by MIR
and Mrs. Caswell.
Dinner Table decorated
With Poinsettias.
|. The sub-debutante was a lovely
picture as she stood with her mother
and Mr. Caswell to receive her
guests. In effective contrast to her
gown of ivory taffeta were her lei
and matching wristlets of red car
nations.
The young people had dinner at
a long table which was gay with
poinsettias Nearby there was a
smaller table where Mr.. and Mrs.
Caswell watched the young guests.
They had with them Comdr. and
Mrs. John Whitney and Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas E. Proctor of Hamil-
ton, Mass, who are spending the
holidays with Mrs. Proctor's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Flint on

Hendrick has showered equal atten-
tions on each of the debutantes IN

Mrs. Hendrick chose the Sulgrave
Club for the setting of this years
bud and the spacious rooms Of the
club were abloom with flowers along
with the many bouquets sent to the
debutante.

niece's coming-out party and also
in the family group were the buds

mand reconsideration of the votes
and no Senator is really expected to
make such move. He would be as
popular as a skunk at picnic If he
did so.
Farm Pressure Applied.
It was expected that the Senate
would add these items to the agri-
cultural appropriation bill. Ire
mendous pressure has been exerted
by the farm pressure groups. The
marvel was that the House stood
firm against the $225 100000 for
parity payments" to the farmers,
when the measure was before that
body. President Roosevelt did not
include in his budget, sent to Con-
gress the first of the year, any item
for parity payments and init
mated that If any was put in the
appropriation BILL some new taxes
should be enacted to bring in the
additional revenue needed to make
the payments.
Secretary OF the Treasury Morgen-
thau now says such taxes are abso-
lutely necessary.
The President can, If he will, veto
the agriculture appropriation bill. If
the President intended to take any
such drastic action, however, he
might have let the Senators know,
and presumably he would have done
so, before the items were written
into the bill yesterday.
The American Farm Bureau
Federation. probably the main pres
sure agency of the agricultural
interests, yesterday sent to each
member of the Senate letter de-
manding the adoption of the par
ity payment" item of 1925 900 900
and of the item of $113 5000 900 for
the purchase of crop surpluses. The
Senate later toed the mark. In the
same letter the federation insisted
on the retention of the $500 900 900
for the soil conservation program.
And it asked for the adoption of the
so-called Bankhead cotton export
subsidy.
May Add $120, ,oO0, 900.
This Bankhead amendment could
cost the Federal Treasury another
$120, 1000 900, it is estimated. 1t can
only be written into the bill by a
thirds vote, for it is new legis-
lation and the rules must be sus-
pended to make the amendment in
order on a general appropriation
bill. The probabilities are that the
opponents of the cotton export sub
sidy plan, some of them from the
cotton States themselves, will make
the necessary point of order to COM
pei tWo-thirds vote, and record
vote at that.
Senators who have been shout
ing for economy, but who are un-
willing to 'let the farmer down" in
the general drive for all kinds of
subsidies, say that, after all, the
farmer is entitled to "his" while the
money is being parceled out. The
farmers cast a very large number
of votes. Republicans who come up
for reelection next year and Re-
publican leaders who are hopeful
of national victory for the G. o. p.
are anxious that the party be not
Evening star., 1939-05-09

| The unrecorded vote avoids en-
barrassment and saves faces. For
example, in what a horrible, not to
say stultifying, position would be
left Republican Senator who had
been shouting for Government econ
omy for months if he went on record
as voting 1888 ,000, 900 additional sub
sides for American farmers. These
new subsidies are in addition to
$500 ,000. 900 already in the bill as it
passed the House for the adminis-
tration's soil conservation program.
But now that these amendments
have been added to the bill there is
no chance for the public to know
whether economyminded Repub-
licans and Democrats in the Senate
slipped bit yesterday or not.
Spare Colleagues.
Probably a lot of Senators who
actually favored the amendments,
and who are not averse to spending
billions of dollars of public money,
would be perfectly willing to go on
record in favor of adding this huge
sum to an already swollen bill-the
total is in excess of $1,216, 5000, 900.
They could have insisted on record
vote if they had desired. But they
spared the feelings of their less for
tunate colleagues - Senators who
talk economy and believe in it, but
who could not resist the demands
of the farm organizations for addi-
tional subsidies for agriculture.
After all there is a kindly spirit
in the Senate-and besides there's
no telling when the boot might be
on the other leg, and it might be
embarrassing for the supporters Of
farm subsidy to vote on some other
measure.
And so the $685. 100000 of the
American taxpayers money has been
discreetly tucked into the agricul-
tural bill. The only thing that could
get it out would be reconsideration
of the votes by which the Senate
acted yesterday, or fiat refusal on
the part of the House of Representa-
tives to accept the Senate amend
ments. The only way in which a
record vote of the Senate on these
items may be obtained is for some
Senator to rise in his place and de-
