Washington
By HOPE Ridines Miller

That little blue book issued
monthly by the State Department,
that pocket-sized guide to who's
who in the foreign corps in WASH
ington entitled the Diplomatic
List" isn't scheduled for as many
immediate, and radical, changes as
some Capital columnists have been
prophesying. Rustling of the inter-
national grapevine indicates that,
despite countless rumors to the con-
trary, Brazilian Ambassador Carlos
Martins will continue to be dean of
the corps in Washington for at least
another year, and maybe longer
Also, that Spanish Ambassador
Francisco de Cardenas, who ranks
third on the diplomatic list, isn't
making any plans to return home
soon.
AS in Congress, seniority die
tates rank in the foreign diplo-
matte contingent The ambassador
who has been in Washington long
est is dean of the corps, and that
happens to be able, affable Carlos
Martins, who arrived here March

Changes in chiefs of state gen.
orally are followed by changes of
ENJOYS in Washington, and else
where. Therefore, after the election

Reception; Other
Diplomatic Nens

The 28th anniversary of the Red
Army and Navy will be observed at
the Embassy of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics with a reception
from 5 to pm. on Saturday.
Hosts at the reception-one of the
two gala events on the Elnbassy's
calendar each yaer-will be the
charge d'affaires, Mr.. Nikolai v.
Novikov and Nine. Novikov; the act
ing military attache, Maj. Gen. lila
NJ. Saraev and Nine. Saraev, and
the acting naval attache, Capt.
Nicolai A. Skriagin and Nine. Skri-
agin.
The anniversary of the Great Oc-
tober revolution also is the occasion
for formal reception at the En-
baSsy.
The newly appointed military
attache to the Brazilian Embassy,
Maj. Gen. Valentin Benicio da Silva,
arrived in Washington last week and
expects to take over his new duties
in day or so. He was accompanied
by his wife, and daughter, Cenhorita
Eunice Wanna Benicio, as well as
by his aide, Capt. Aylton Coelho
Chaves.
Appropriately enough the new en-
voy reached Washington just be-
fore st. Valentines Day. He was
born on the saints day-hence his
first name.
He has had a distinguished mill
tary career and was commander Of
the first military region of Brazil,
which include Rio de Janeiro, before
his assignment here. He also has
served as Ambassador Extraordinary
to Peru.
Gen. Benicio's appointment fills
a vacancy on the staff at the EN-
bassy here which has existed since

Alice Longworth is in New York
celebrating a flock of anniversaries
with her daughter, Paulina Sturm,
who came down from Connecticut
to join her. Prominent Republican
Mrs. Longworth had her birthday
on the same day as Lincoln and
Paulina was born on Valentine's S
Day =. The Millard Vests dashed
up to the Big City the other day
so that Millard could receive the
Legion of Merit from Brig. Gen

tion left Washington on Friday with
his bride. the former Germaine Cof-
fey. They will sail from New York
on the 9th, heading for Prague,
where Col Hess will be with the
Ministry of National Defense.
In case any one wants to give
party for 800 people-and it's hard
to imagine why any one would prefer
doing anything else-it takes three
months to prepare properly for such
a blowout. This authoritative state
ment comes straight from the lips
of the party-thrower par excellence,
Elsa Maxwell, who has already
started working on the mammoth
bal masque she will give at the Wal
dorf Astoria come May 3.
The hostess superior, who said
that the entire diplomatic corps is
going up for the party, wondered
how the Capital would 60 for such
a ball at this time. Undoubtedly
local hostesses, who have already
reached the hair tearing stage over
the shortage of ordinary party
clothes, would go berserk in a wild
attempt to find f1attering costumes.
Exceptions would be the Cuban Am
bassador and his attractive wife,
who will be on hand May 8. Cuban
carnivals are the cause of the envoy
and his wife being stocked in clothes
of the masked variety.
Miss Maxwell repeated story
she had just heard from Secretary
Wallace. 1t seems that some one
asked the Secretary what was wrong
with the British Labor party; left
ist Prime Minister Bevin sounded
positively conservative when face
to-face with Soviet Delegate Vishin-
sky. Wallace replied that the Labor
party is like violin-it is always
held by the left and played by the
right.

Wife of the Attorney General
Finds Washington Stimulating
OVER THE TEACUPS.

Mrs. Tom c. Clark, wife of the
Attorney General, is good secret
keeper.
Daughter of a Texas judge, she
learned the art early and has had
the opportunity to develop it as the
wife of man whose career has
been linked with the Justice De-
partment since 1887.
The ability came in we'll last
May % when her husband phoned
her about noon to confide that his
appointment as Attorney General
would be announced in a few hours.
Mrs. Clark was on her way to a
ladies luncheon where the talk CEN
tered on speculation about the cab
met post. Not by a flicker of an eye
lash did she indicate she knew
what decision had been made.
Like all Texans, she's loyal to the
Lone Star State, but Mrs. Clark
enjoys Washington which she finds
very stimulating. She likes to hear
political discussions and has given
up some of her activities in order to
find time to keep abreast of the
news. If she ever leaves the Capital,
she intends to subscribe to a Wash
ington newspaper.
She has a soft, Southern drawl
which hasn't changed much since
she left her home in Dallas. Youth
full looking, she wears size IL or IA
and doesn't have trouble finding
clothes. Her hair, fashioned in a
soft bob, is light brown shade
with just hint of red. Her eyes are
gray and she likes most colors but
has preference for pastel shades.
She wears hats which her family
maintains are definitely frivolous.
But she doesn't mind teasing. Many
of her husbands stories refer to his
wife, but Mrs. Clark-who was

POLL INDICATES
 JUNEAU AGAINST
 STATEHOOD NOW

A survey of public opinion on the
 statehood question in Juneau, con- ducted by the Alaska Daily Elm 1 pire during the past month, indi- cates that this city's voters will vote lagainst statehood.
 Advised of this fact and asked for a comment today, Governor Ernest Gruening said it was to be expected" due to the fact that any government town is an artificial zone' in relation to it's surround ings. He said he fully expected
 statehood to carry in Westward
 Alaska and in such Southeast towns as Ketchikan.
 Delegate E. L. Bartlett, in Ju- neau this week enroute from the Interior to Ketchikan, said such a vote was mot too surprising due to the large number of non-per- manent residents in Juneau Many government workers and other tenn porary employees would be includ- ed in this list, he said
 The outstanding reason offered for anti-statehood opinions here was: The cost is prohibitive Alaska is not well enough popu lated to take statehood at this time The 10000 white popula- ton would bear the brunt of high CT taxation"
 The reason many persons gave for pro-statehood convictions was: Alaska will never move forward unless she has statehood. There are countless ways in which oppres- sively higher taxation can be pre- vented and Alaska still nIaintain statehood If we don't vote for it now, we may not get the present favorable attitude of Congress again for many years
