OF Gay Party
After Concert
Nine. Wei Honor.
Two Artists
ByLibbv Mcguire

A smart audience filed the Pres
idential Room of the Statler Hotel
last night for the joint recital of
Nine. Juliette Camille Chautemps,
pianist, and M. Marcel Anchor,
celnst. Dark-haired Nine. Chautemps
looked very striking in a Chinese
red satin dress, and her playing was
really delightful. Especially her in
depreciation of q Chopin waltz,
which she played with great gayety
of spirit and a touch like velvet.
M. Anchor drew an equally enthus-
iastic response for his excellent
work. Two lovely looking ushers
for the occasion were Miss Ramona
North. and Miss Gisele Chautemps.
Following the concert, Nine. Wei
held a reception at Twin Oaks"
in honor of the two artists. There
were many music lovers and friends
Of the Chautemps at the Embassy.
And one of the first to greet the
guests was M. Camille Chautemps.
Nine. Wei received with Nine.
Chautemps and Mr.. Anchor. The
charming hostess was costumed in
black silk mandarin dress, topped
of with her beautiful dark green
jade jewelry.
Glimpsed in the crowded drawing
room were DR.. and Mrs. Winfred
Overholser chatting with Mr.. and
Mrs. Barnet Mover. Also Capt. and
Mrs. Ralph o. Phillips, who had
been dinner guests of Col. and Mrs.
H. S. Kimberly, preceding the con-
cert, along with Vice Admiral and
Mrs. Louis Denfeld, Capt. and Mrs.
L. A. Abercrombie, Mr.. and Mrs.
Leigh Brite and MIR. and Mrs.
Gustav Boas. Another dinner party
which had come to the reception
were Col. and Mrs. Jarvis Butler
and Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Montague.
In the library Senator Theodore
Francis Green talked with Mrs.
Henry B. Gwynn. Mr.. and Mrs.
F. B. Beekman were there, Mrs.
j. Lee Murphy, Miss Dorothy Ruth
erford, 1t. Pearce Mcdonald and
Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Hurja.
Mrs. Katharine Byron, former
Representative from Maryland, said
she had been working so hard
IN the garden lately everyone looked
like shrubbery to her, and she was
sure she had seen some dogwood
that evening. The fortune cakes.
which are always served at the EN-
bassy, were carefully read. One said
BE an example," another Never
let a wife leave her husband" etc.
Col. p. Delalande said his name had
been spelled with a capital ID" ever
since one of his forebears got into
difficulty in the French Revolution
a head had been chopped of-for
spelling 1t with a small Cd" He is
leaving in q few months for Paris
where he also has an apartment,
but he didn't say who would take
over his Washington one.
Mrs. Walter Raleigh Amesbury, jr.,
who designs prints, was there with
her husband, Comdr Amesbury. My
dress happened to be one of her
designs, and her husband said he
was always meeting one of his wife's
prints at parties.
There were at least a dozen silver
fox jackets checked by the ladies
and as sometimes happens, one was
mistaken for another. Not being
sure which coat had been left in
place Of the one taken by mistake,
Nine Wei most graciously loaned
her silver fox coat, complete with
gloves in the pocket, to the shivering
guest. BY now. no doubt, each per-
son, including Nine. Wei will have
her own silver fox.

Gen. Marshall and Mr.. Stuart are
confronted in their unification ef-
forts.
Mr. Stuart, born in China OF
American parents and a missionary
there since 1905. was named by the
President to take the post formerly
held by Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley.
Wedemeyer Choice Expected.
Gen Marshall had expected to
finish his special job months be-
fore this, and it was believed the
regular ambassadorial post would go
TO 1t Gen. Albert c. Wedemeyer,
who still holds the title of chief
of American Army Forces in China
When it became apparent that
Gen. Marshall had weeks or even
months of work ahead, however.
he presumably proposed an expert
on China as Ambassador rather
than another military man.
Mr.. Stuart is regarded at the
State Department as highly COM
petent in Chinese affairs. From
1919 until December. l94l. he was
president of the American endowed
and controlled Yenching University
at Peiping. When the war started
the japanese interned him in Pei
ping, where he remained until the
war ended.
After his release he came to the
United States for visit, but about
two months ago he returned to
China as unoff1cial advisor to Gen.
Marshall

China and Manchuria for political
and military reasons.
He said fewer than 3 per cent of
the l67,l52 tons of UNRRA supplies
transported into the 10 northern
provinces up to mid-June had been
distributed to Chinese in Com
munist-dominated areas.
An estimated go per cent of the
northern provinces is reliably re-
ported in Communist hands.
The spokesman pointed to
UNRRA's basic policy that relief
should be given regardless of politt-
cal belief, and noted that Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek had assured
UNRRA that supplies were being
admitted into all areas of China.

for all CLIO unions to 'join in the
fight for wage increases without
price increases" in announcing it
would ask for additional wage
boosts for $4,000 Chrysler Corp. en-
ployes unless OPA is reinstated with
prices at the June 80 level.

Ter workers instructed their officers

mits reopening of wage clauses on

ther, UAW-CIO president. and Nor

Chrysler Department, issued a pro-
posal that the CLOS National Exc
cutive Board call all CIO unions In

They said they would present theiI
proposal at meeting of the board

If and when contracts are reopened
the fight must be for wage increases
without price increases and must
be waged on a national scale by
the entire CIO."

the lifting of OPA price controls
already had wiped out the 1872 cent
