Parties With Particular Purpose
Mrs. FOrtas Hostess at Club:
Gen. and Mrs. Smart H0n0red
By Betty BeaIs

Blond, good-looking and very able
Mrs. Abe Fortas set nice precedent
yesterday afternoon when she gave
away an airplane trip to Mexico and
back by mere flick of wrist. She
simply drew number from a hat
and the winner then became the
lucky possessor Of trip that Mrs.
Fortas herself had won in the same
manner. Hers was the winning
number at the United Nations Club
benefit ball and it was at the United
Nations Club yesterday that she
donated the coveted prize which
neither she nor her husband was
able to use.
One hundred and twenty-five
Junior officers from the Latin Amer
lean divisions of the State Depart
ment were eligible to draw for the
prize and all of them were at the
party Mrs. Fortas gave to celebrate
the occasion. AS they entered the
club each was given a number and
after cocktails prolonged the sus-
pense until o'clock, the drawing
was held. Brunette and attractive
Miss Virginia Dorr. originally from
California, won the Mexican trip
and plans to take it on her vaca-
ton this summer.
Mrs. Fortas, wife of the former
Undersecretary of the Interior and
lawyer in her own right, had
decided that somebody in the State
Department VINO deals with Latin
American countries would benefit
the most from the trip and officials
IN the State Department collabo-
rated to formulate list of eligibles.
Mr. Robert McClintock and Maj.
Pierce Mccoy of the department
were on hand yesterday and Senor
Don Julian Saenz Hinojosa, Third
Secretary of the Mexican Embassy,
represented his country at the
drawing. Mr.. Fortas was there, of
course, and also Brig. Gen Burton
NJ. Hovey, ir., commanding general
of Boiling Field, with Mai. George
