Bv Betty MilIiken

The Charge d.Affaires of Siam

ton yesterday at the legation. 1t
was for their former Regent and
Lady Banomyong who are on a
goodwill tour and guests at the
Blair House while in Washington.
Lady Banomyong and Nine.
Bhakdi, standing with their hus-
bands in the receiving line, seemed
at first glance to be wearing iden-
tical costumes. Closer inspection
disclosed that the long white crepe
gown worn by the hostess was typi-
cally American, while the ivory bro-
caded taffeta one that Lady Ban
omyong had on was just as dis
tinctly Siamese. Her pencil-slim
skirt-not cut on the bias--topped
by a blouse that was slit at each
side in oriental fashion, signided
that the latter's costume was de-
signed in Bangkok rather than in an
American city.
There was something else about
the hostess that was American,
something that not all the guests
at the reception kneW-Mme.
Bhakdi has the distinction OF Ee-
ing the first Siamese woman to
serve an internship in an Ameri-
can hospital. A graduate Of Gou-
cher College, she received her de-
gree in medicine at Johns Hopkins
and served her internship at the
Flower Hospital in New York.
There were many from the Diplo-
matte Corps at the reception yes
terday and almost as many from
the State Department. But out
numbering both of these groups
were others who have lived in Siam
or been interested in the little coun-
try for various other reasons.
+ Mr. Kenneth Landon, whose wife
is author of "Anna and the King

+ An optimistic view that world
peace will be maintained. and that
in spite Of "re-emergence OF Rus
sian imperialism" an understanding
between Russia and the western
democracies will be achieved was
expressed by Frank Gervasi, war
correspondent and associate editor
OF Golfers Magazine, yesterday.
The nationally known writer and
authority on problems Of the Medi-
terranean and the Near East flew
from New York to address the
Washington Club on the subject,
struggle for Power in the Medi-
terranean.
Basing his views on experiences
acquired during a 12-year residence
in Mediterranean countries and
after many years of study of that
region and the problems which have
made it an area of contention be-
tween European nations, Mr.. Ger
vasi declared that the airplane and
the atomic bomb have relegated
many former problems to the past.
Explaining issues involved in dis
putes which have arisen over the
Mediterranean area for generations,
with strategic points contested by
eastern and western nations, Mr..
Gervasi said, Flying has annihi-
lated some OF the reasons Of con-
fiict over these areas Of seaborne
traffic. and many reasons for guar
antees of strategic positions are
gone
Efforts of larger nations to sur
round themselves with friendly
smaller nations for purposes OF
strategy are also outmoded, the
speaker continued.
1.-THE atomic bomb has made all
these considerations obsolete he
declared.
Mr.. Gervasi's conviction that in
ternational peace is possible was
based also, he asserted, on his belief
that men have become more reason
able and patient in dealing with
others.

Economic Plan
Rr RufL nonu
By Rnfh Dean

The necessity for public support
of final plan which will establish
the District on sound economic
basis to enable capital improvements
was urged yesterday by Brig. Gen
Gordon r. Young. District Engineer
Commissioner, before q luncheon
meeting of the Voteless District
League of Women Voters at the
YWCA.
The preliminary Six-year plan
with Gen. ,Young's recommends
tions, is now being considered by
a citizens committee of representa-
tives of civic organizations prepara-
tory to its presentation in final form
before the new Congress.
The purpose OF issuing the prelim-
mary plan was to obtain corStruc-
tive assistance of all the thinking
people in the District to put it in
shape, Gen. Young said. With only
go or 80 days left before the citizens
committee draws up the final plan,
the people of the District still have
chance to submit their ideas and
recommendations, he added.
Gen. Young pointed out that, ac-
cording to present estimates, the
District government is several mil
lion dollars behind, in meeting ex-
penditures for the coming fiscal
year. With recent salary raises and
higher prices, he added, 1t costs far
more to run the District than be-
fore the war"
In order to meet these current ex-
penditures it viii be necessary to
get the funds either through In
creased taxation, increased Federal
payment or borrowing, the speaker
declared, unless Congress can be
convinced through popular support
Of this report that acquisition of
additional funds to meet these costs
is justified.
Choosing from the report such
salient features as public schools
public health and public welfare
Gen. Young said that the estimated
cost for educational improvements
alone will embrace one-third of the
total capital expenditure as recon-
mended.
He then enumerated the three
point school program, which would
call for: "a Enough schools to relieve
overcrowding and double-shifting;
(2) enough schools to cover newly de-
veloped areas, and, 90 replacement
of antiquated and obsolescent
schools in the District area.
Because of the staggering"
amount of money involved, there
may be a question as to how far
the District government may 60 In
carrying out the third point of the
program, Gen. Young added.
In reference to the public health
section of the report, Gen. Young
said that although he didn't go
along with the recommendation for
an increase in some tuberculer IA
cilities, his guess would be that in
final draught. the plan would have a
strong argument in favor of such
an increase.
Commenting on recommended tions
In the report for public-welfare i'm
provements, Gen. Young said he be-
lieved the two schools of thought
which call for an increase Of insti-
tutional services on one hand, and
an increase of unconstitutional serv-
ices ON the other hand, should strike
an even balance.
