TacksOns GiUe
Garden Party
1t Their Home
Bv Betty BeaLe.

Never has the garden variety
party been so popular in the Capital
as this year, and probably never be-
fore has the weather in June been
SO consistently cool as on the after
moons of such parties. Still, this
type of afternoon entertaining is
obviously preferred, judging by
Capt. and Mrs John P. jackson S
brand of hospitality yesterday.
Guests who came coatless periodi-
cally went indoors to warm up be-
fore returning to the scene of the
most gaiety, the attractive garden
of the hosts home on McGill ter
race.
Top Navy officials came to this
affair that was still going strong
come 9 o'clock. Admiral Ernest j.
King arrived early but had to leave
soon after to pin medal on some
one, and star of the latter part of
the afternoon was Fleet Admiral
William S. Halsey. Admiral Halsey
was warmly greeted by one and all,
and showed his famous grin when
kldded about the resulting lipstick
on his cheek. Capt. and Mrs. Charles
Baker were other Navy people on
hand, and Commodore Richard Tut
tie, Mrs. w. H. P. Blandy, wife of
Rear Admiral Blandy, and Comdr.
and Mrs. Floyd Myhre
A fashion plate was the beautiful
Mrs. Rafael Oreamuno, costumed in
black with stunning broad brimmed
hat. A new style trend was pre-
sented by Mrs. William Glassford.
Dressed to 60 on to dinner, she wore
black jersey dinner dress that was
five inches from the floor. Mrs. Nor
ris Clark wore a lovely red and
white silk print dress, and the blue
and green veil of Mrs. Constantine
Stackelberg's hat brought out all
the color of her eyes. Mrs. Robert
Schenck was very chic in a gray
dress and her emerald jewels, while
the hostess, herself, had on an I'M
usually beautiful diamond pin that
had belonged to her mother.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Prochnik were
there, the latter poured tea in the
dining room with all kinds of as
slstance from Mr.. Fred Roy who
was IN his usual good form. The
Ambassador of Panama came with
his wife, Sonora de Vallarino, and
daughter Hilda; DR.. Walter Wells
escorted his daughter, Miss Eleanor
Wells, and Mrs. McCeney Werlich
was accompanied by her brother,
Mr.. Robert Hinckley. Mr.. Robert
Werlich, also present, is growing a
mustache but probably won't keep
it long.

way of free vote. We stand before
the world today as pleaders for 9th
er nations to settle their differences
by this same method. Therefore, we
cannot longer stand for the condi-
tions that still exist in seven of oul
southern states whereby the people
are denied a free vote by the archaic
and inexcusable poll tax
Twice before when this issue has
come before the United States sen

senate from voting on it. Two-thirds
of the senate must concur before a

OPPORTUNITY. NOT FOR RAPS

After a wary years lapse, the Fish and Wlldlfe Service of the Department of the Interior this fall IS resuming the policy of tuning an ear to the public before definitely framing restrictions upon Alaskas salmon fisheries.
 It is a healthy and hopeful sign to see these hear ings resumed-the first of them is to be held in the Senate Chamber of the Federal Building here, com nlencng at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. It will be an even healthier sign if the hearings develop con- sructve comments and suggestions to be embodied in the regulations not just recrimnations aimed at past actions policies whose results have already been proved unfortunate.
 The need for a really constructive approach to the conservation of Alaskas salmon resources is incon- trovertably shown by the dearth of fish in several sections of the Territory this season-notaby in areas immediately adjacent to Juneau. The feeble catches this year at Yakutat in Icy Strait and throughout the Western districts of Southeast Alaska amply shows that all hands concerned must soon sit down together and pool their fish lore, operative experience and knowledge of local conditions to the development of a sound program for the rehabilitation of the salmon resource

HOW TO woo RUSSIA

T should list the factors which make for Russian distrust of the United States and of the Western world as follows: The first is Rus sian history, which we must take into account because it is the set ting in which Russians see all ac tionS and policies of the r.st of the world. Russian history for over thousand years has been success sion of attempts. often unsuccess- ful. to resist invasion and conquest by the Mongols. the Turks, the SWedes, the Germans and the Poles The scant thirty years of the ex- istenCe of the Soviet Government has in Russian eyes been a con- tinuation of their historical struggle for national existence.
 Second, it follows that to the Russians all of the defense and Se- curity measures of the Western powers seem to have an aggressive intent. Our actions to expand our military security syStem-such steps as extending the Monroe Doctrine to include the arming of the Vest ern Hemisphere nations, our pre- sent monopoly of the atomic bomb, cur interest in outlying bases and our general support of the British Empire-appear to them as going far beyond the requirements of de- fense. From the Russian point of view, also, the granting of a loan tO Blitain and the lack of tangible results on their request to borrow may be regarded as another evil dence of strengthening of an anti Soviet bloc.
 Finally, cur resistance to her attempts to obtain warm water ports and her own security system in the form of friendly neighboring states seems. from the Russian point of view, to clinch the case. After twenty-five years oi isolation and after having achieved the sta tlls of a major power, Russia be- ievcs that she is entitled to recog- milton of her new status.
 our interest in establishing democracy in Eastern Europe, where democracy by and large has never existed, seems to her an at tempt to re-establish the encircle- ment of unfriendly neighbors which was created after the last war and which might serve as a springboard of still another effort to destroy | her.
