Parties Increase in CabitaI

Some 300 persons in Washington
are looking forward to the evening
of October 26. That's the night the
Ambassador Of Iran and Nine. Ala
will give a reception to honor the
18th birthday of King Mohammad
Reza Pahlavy. Although the state
of affairs in Iran is not conducive to
bigger and better party mood,
Nine. Ala is famous as hostess
She gave a cocktail party, when
they were stationed in London, that
began at six and lasted until three
in the morning. And the cause OF
much talk for a long time after
wards was the Persian ball she and
her husband gave in Paris before
the war. The guests came in mag
nificent Oriental costumes and a
costumed orchestra played only Per-
sian music.
The size of the Iranian Embassy,
formerly Mrs. Alanson B. Hough-
tons home, will of necessity limit
the number of guests invited to this
affair which will begin at 8 o'clock
and last until the small hours. There
will be an orchestra and dancing
all evening in the ballroom. Bullets
will be set up in the dining room,

With feminine colleague, Miss
M. Margaret Ball also of the State
Department, Miss Wright went to
the conference in Caracas a bit I'M
certain as to how women delegates
would be received at the predomi-
nantly masculine assembly. A writer
and student of history since she was
a girl of 16 when a desire to see
the world prompted her to run away
to Mexico, Miss Wright found many
old acquaintance among the dele
gates attending the assembly. From
them she received a cordial welcome
she asserted.
But it was the women of Ven

tically to our attendance in Caracas, u
she said. They are all so interested
in the women of the United States
They want to know what we have
done in our use of the franchise
You see, they have only recently
been given the franchise and both

Oben Club Season
With Gala Luncbe0m

The need and importance Of uni
versal military training during the
present period OF world unrest was
stressed in a talk yesterday by Her.
bert F. Corn, managing editor Of
The Evening Star, before the Wom-
ans Club of Chevy Chase at its
opening meeting.
Approximately 500 members at
tended the luncheon preceding the
program when Mr.. Corn presented
high lights of his visit to Europe
last summer when, with several
newspaper editors, he was guest of
the War Department on special
tour.
Speaking of the program being
carried out in American zones of
occupation in Germany and Aus
tria, Mr.. Corn said, II hope this
plan will not fail but it cannot have
a fair trial unless we put enough
Americans over there to carry 1t
out"
To do this, the speaker continued
I'VE have no choice except to MAIN
tain an armed force competent to
protect our place in this world I'M
til such time as man becomes more
civilized. Isolationism is dead at
the hands OF the W., the guided
missile and the atom bomb.
How are we to maintain these
armed forces? I see no fair method
except some form of universal
service"
The speaker told his audience,
many with sons in the service, that
the one question asked by our SOL
diers overseas is, do the folks back
home know what we are trying to
do over here?" And why don't they
give us enough to do it,"
Mr.. Corn pointed out that there
was a feeling that dealing with
the Russians would be far more
simple once the Soviets are con-
WINGED that we are sincere about a
long term occupation
He was introduced by Mrs. Robert
J. Dannemiller, first vice president
and program chairman.
The luncheon preceding the ad-
dress opened with a salute to the
flag led by Mrs. Robert LIE Febre
followed by the invocation offered
by DR.. Henry w. Snyder, pastor OF
st. Paul's Lutheran Church.
Several musical selections were
presented by Mrs. Gertrude Mockbee,
who entertained in place OF Charles
E. Stebbins, director of music OF the
Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church,
unable to attend.
Guests at the head table included,
in addition to club officers and COM
mittee chairmen, Mr.. and Mrs. Corn,
Mrs. John c. Shaw, president Of the
Maryland Federation OF Women's
Clubs, who brought greetings; Mrs.
Gertrude Parks, president OF the
District Federation of Women's
Clubs; Mrs. Robert Dunlop, presi-
dent of the Junior Woman's Club OF
Chevy Chase: Mrs. Joseph T. Ma
guire, chairman OF the Montgomery

| to be present owing to q previous
commitment to open an exhibit
in Chicago. In his absence the
British Minister and Lady SAMSON
were hosts. Their guests numbered
well under a hundred and included
leaders in the work for the orches-
ira and some few from the Embassy
staff. Sir George and Lady San
som received their guests in the
ballroom and those who hoped to
hear a few solos by Dame Myra
were doomed to disappointment.
For, as one of the Embassy staff
commented, II hope not! The piano
is so badly out of tune!"
The diplomatic corps always Is
well represented at these concerts
and last evening was no exception.
The Netherlands Ambassador and
Nine. Loudon were hosts at dinner
at the Embassy before the concert.
Their guests, who sat with them
in their box later, were Mr.. and
Mrs. Adolph Caspar Miller and the
Counselor of the Embassy and Nine.
Reuchlin.
The French Ambassador and
Nine. Bonnet and the Chinese Am
bassador and Mrs. Koo were among
the boxholders. Mrs. Koo decided
at the last minute to accompany
the Ambassador to New York and
they are expected back today. Mem
bers of the Embassy staff occupied
the box. Members of the Philip
pine Embassy staff were in the box
Of the Ambassador, Mr.. Joaquin M.
Elizalde. who is at home for several
weeks stay.
The Finnish Minister, DR.. K. T.
Jutila, was accompanied by his two
daughters, Mrs. Maljaleena Horelli
and Miss Vaddu Jutila. The latter
only arrived in Washington a day or
so ago, having accompanied her
mother and brother, Mr.. Sakari
Julia, to this country.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson occupied
the box of Mr.. Bernard Baruch and
not far away were Associate Justice
and Mrs. Felix Frankfurter. Both
ladies wore black, Mrs. Frankfurter
having steel and crystal trimming
on the bodice and elbow-length
sleeves.
Rear Admiral and Mrs. Emory
Scott Land-alwayS active for the
orchestra-had as their guests the
Counselor of the British Embassy
and Mrs. Robert Henry Hadow. Mr..
and Mrs. Hadow, the latter formerly
the popular Miss Lindsay Wood OF
Washington and Virginia, dined
with Admiral and Mrs. Land before
the program.
Mrs. Edwin B. Parker, who has
been an ardent supporter OF the
orchestra for many years, had guests
with her in her box. Mrs. Robert
Low Bacon and Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Bruce Howe had boxes. Mrs. Howe,
former chairman of the Woman's
Committee, and Mrs. Robert H.
Dunlap, chairman of the Press Com
mittee, stood together in the lobby
before the concert and, with Mr..
Howe, went on later to the supper
at the British Embassy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Burke were
among those in boxes, the latter
holding veritable reception in the
lobby during the intermission. She
recently returned from Paris and
looked it with a royal blue crepe
gown low cut and sleeveless and
very becomingly draped.
The first of the series of Sunday
afternoon concerts by the orchestra
will be given in Constitution Hall
October 81.

There were few costly jewels and
an amazing number of street-length
frocks and business suits worn last
evening to the first orchestral con-
cert of the 1867 season. The occa-
sion was the opening, concert In
Constitution Hall Of the National
Symphony Orchestra's 10th season
True, the audience was one that
could not be duplicated in any city
In the world. The President and
Mrs. Truman were there and hao
with them the Chief Justice and
Mrs. Fred M. Vinson. The third
branch of the Government, the leg
tslative, was somewhat conspicuous
by it's absence-for the new Congress
will not be elected for another three
weeks and the old Congress ad-
journed in the late summer.
The President and Mrs. Truman
and their guests arrived well ahead
Of the hour appointed for the pro-
gram and went back-stage to greet
Dame Myra Hess, soloist with the
orchestra last evening. Dame Myra
is no less distinguished for her work
in London during the blitz than she
is as q. pianist. 1t was for her I'M
firing efforts toward the mainte-
nance of morale of the English peo-
pie that His Majesty King George
vi awarded her the order that made
her Dame Myra. The President. be-
ing a pianist himself had particu-
lar interest in the concert.
The Chief Executive and his party
were received back-stage by Mr..
Edward r. Finkenstaedt, president
of the National Symphony Associa-
ton; Mrs. Charles Carroll Glover,
jr., chairman of the Woman's Com
mittee for the orchestra; Mrs. Mer-
rift K. Ruddock, who is chairman for
the Wednesday Evening Subscription
series which opened last evening,
and DR.. Hans Kinder, conductor of
the orchestra who was the inspira-
ton for its founding 16 years ago.
After 10 or Is minutes conversation
DR.. Kinder took his place on the
stage. After the President and Mrs.
Truman and their guests entered
their box the orchestra played 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner" 1t was an
inspiring few minutes.
Both Mrs. Truman and Mrs. Vim
son were in black, Mrs. Vinson keep
ing her handsome silver fox scarf
about her shoulders. Mrs. Humans
gown was cut square of neck and
ornamented with a large and deli
cately wrought silver pin. The
sleeves we're very short and slightly
pulled and she wore elboW-length
black suede gloves which she kept
on throughout the evening. Mrs.
Vinson wore similar gloves and did
not remove them. Both gowns were
floor length.
It was interesting to watch Dame
Myra and DR.. Kinder through the
playing of the Beethoven Concerto.
They played together not too many
years ago, giving recital OF So
natas for piano and cello at one
of Mrs. Lawrence ToWnsend's morn

the fact that both Mr.. and Mrs.
