Cocktail Hosts
at AdmiraL Club
By Betty Miliken

Yesterday the Joseph Mauldins
ushered in the fall season with a
cocktail party at the Admiral Club.
Joe and Patti invited so many OF
their friends and acquaintance
1t was out of the question to enter
tain them in their small but attrac-
tive apartment on Connecticut ave-
nue.. So the one-time French En-
bassy was chosen for the gather
ing.
The club, which was the residence
Of the former French Ambassador,
Jules Jusserand, has been redec-
GRATED during the summer. The
handsome ballroom now is painted
soft blue with oyster white trim,
and deep rose draperies hang at
the long windows. Garden flowers
in abundance filled vases in all the
rooms and the buffet table, which
boasted hard-to-get items like ham
and turkey, had centerpiece of
flaming gladioluses, with blue can
dies in silver candelabra at each
end
Patti, who is one Of the most
attractive of the younger married
set in the Capital, was lovely in a
black jersey gown with long,
gracefully draped skirt and high
|neckline, set of by a semicircle Of
gardenias, Joe's gift to his wife.
A visitor from California, Mr..
Whitley G. Collins, was among the
Mauldins' guests yesterday, and
PATHS two brothers, Richard May
field, sophomore at the University
Of Virginia and Thomas Fite May
field, were on hand to help in the

throughout the Balkan countries,
Mr.. Benton added.
Failure of Congress to pass the
cultural relations bill was q great
disappointment to the International
Information once, the Secretary
stated, as 1t makes financially i'm
possible extension of the educational
work of the ONCE in China and
other Far Eastern parts Of the
world.
The Importance of cultural un-
derstanding by other Nations Is fully
realized by both Great Britain and
Russia, he continued. British broad
casting in foreign fields Is far super
ior to that of the United States and
the British budget for dissemination
Of information to other countries
doubles and perhaps even trebles
our own"
Money No Object to Soviets.
1.-THE Russian expenditures along
these lines are in vast excess Of
both Great Britain and the United
States" the Secretary declared.
Appropriations for work Of the
International Information ONCE, in
cluding all mediums Of public pres
entation, the press, radio and the
motion pictures amount to but $19,-
600, 900 annually, the speaker pointed
out.
Nineteen million dollars is less
than Proctor e. Gamble spend an
nually on national advertising" he
remarked.
The Assistant Secretary voiced
satisfaction over congressional ap-
proval Of the Fullbright Act, which
will eventually provide international
exchange of students and professors.
Due to inability OF European ma
tions to accommodate American stu
dents, the project will be delayed
for q short time.
Student Exchange Planned.
when Russian facilities are bet
ter for receiving students, We hope
to inaugurate q student exchange
between the two countries" he con-

lC.<Warfen, U. b. A., ana MIS-. War
rem are living on Long Island and
probably will be frequent visitors In
the Capital through the winter. Mrs.
Warren formerly was Miss June
Wilcox and married the. United
States offlcer about two years ago.
The vice marshal is staying at the
Shoreham until he is as fortunate
as Group Capt. Slattery and finds
a house.
The Australian Embassy was the
scene Of very informal "spot o. tea"
yesterday. when Mrs. N. j. o. Maxim,
wife of the first Ambassador from
that continent, poured the tea. Mrs.
Maxim made the trip from her
homeland by sea. Eighteen days,
with only two small islands sighted
in the distance. There's a lot of
water between here and home! And
I feel If I ever get back there I'll
never want to leave again!" 1t is
Mrs. Makin's first trip away from
Australia but she is enjoying every
thing about it except the humidity.
The Ambassador and Mrs. Maxim
were accompanied by their younger
son, Mr.. Lloyd Maxim, now al, but
the older boy, Harry, remained at
home with his interesting little fam
lily. This family consists Of his wife
and small son named Kent, for the
Duke of Kent in the royal family
Of England.
Mrs. Maxim talked about condi-
tons in Australia, especially about
the rationing, which included not
only food and fuel, but clothing, par
ticularly hats, stockings, coats and
shoes. Australia has had no expert
ence with nylon hose, for they had not
reached that distant land before the
shortage. However, Mrs. Maxim said
cottons and knitted garments have
been removed from the rations, and
now, as always, they have sugar.
This helps the Australian house
wives and manufacturers to MAIN
tain their reputation for the making
Of unusually delicious jams and
jellies.
Mrs. Maxim thinks that perhaps
this success in the making Of pre-
serves may be due to the fact that
every householder has his own fruit
trees and his own kitchen garden"
and thus the fruit ripens on the tree
before it Is preserved.
Unlike the first diplomatic repre-
sentatives of Australia, the Minister
and Mrs. Richard Casey, Mrs. Maxim
does not like flying. The Caseys,
now retired from their various for
eign assignments, always travel by
air. Each is a licensed pilot and in
their Australian home they main
tanned their own landing field.
Coming across this continent, Mrs.
Maxim made the trip by train and
thus had a better oportunity to see
the country. She is a delightful
hostess and very welcome addition
to embassy row.

Informal DIPLOMATIC Parties
Enlipen Scene in CatitaI
By Katharine NJ. Brooks

The far-f1ung British Empire fg-
med rather prominently in the So
cial news Of this Capital yesterday
with two delightful afternoon fetes.
New Zealand Day was marked by
the Minister of that dominion and
Lady Berendsen at q 6-to-8 O'Clock
party, and the Civil Air Attache of
the British Embassy and Mrs. Peter
Masefield gave a farewell fete be-
fore returning to England.
The party at the charming New
Zealand Legation was strictly for
New Zealanders, the guests number
ing about 100, and was a celebration
of New Zealand becoming an in
dependent dominion Of the British
Empire. In simpler words, home
rule. New Zealand was raised to
the status Of dominion from that
Of colony in 1907.
The Minister and Lady Berendsen,
whose popularity in Washington ex-
tends far beyond the diplomatic and
ofhcial circles, received their coun-
trymen in the green room of the
Legation. Lady Berendsen chose a
street-length frock Of black with
short cap sleeves. She had planned
to have the refreshment tables laid
on the lawn at the rear Of the
building, but the overcast skies,
which opened In the early afternoon
and dropped q very heavy rain,
changed those arrangements. In
stead, the table was laid in the at
tractive dining room. and the doors
and windows onto the lawn edged
with stately trees, were opened, let
ting in the delightful scent of wet
earth and shrubbery.
MIR. and Mrs. Masefield gave their
party in the Presidents room at the
National Airport, where guests
might get look at the Bristol, the
British airplane freighter. Also, Mr.
Masefield presented to his $50 guests
his successor as Civil Attache at the
Embassy, Air Vice Marshal r. F.
Wilcox.
MIR. and Mrs. Masefield will leave
Saturday to return to England.
They will be accompanied by their
three young children, Victoria,
Charles and Richard, all well un-
der 10.
The Masefelds have occupied the
house at 32l0 Newark street in
Cleveland Park and already the new
tenant is planning his future in
house In Washington. He, too, is
British, Group Capt. H. v. Slattery,
a new member of the staff of the
Air Attache of the Embassy. Mrs.
Slattery and their three children
still are in England, but since they
have a house to come to they will
be here in the not-too-distant fu-
ture.
Air Vice Marshal Wilcox has
taken over his duties, but Mrs. Will
lock has not left England. Their
son-in-law and daughter, Col. w. N.

TlUO Brilliant Stars
Recall Xmas StOrY

Two bright planets now keeping
company with the early morning
moon recall the celebrated star of the
Christmas story, but there is an easy
astronomical explanation of their ap-
pearance, according to astronomers.
Venus, known as the Morning Star
in its present phase, is one of the
planets. After 10 months as the
Morning Star it completes its orbit
and then will be known as the Even
ing Star. Now it is quite close to the
Earth, as distance is measured in the
solar system, and its brightest phase
will be reached two weeks from now.
The other planet is Jupiter, now
approaching Venus. 1t takes about II
years for Jupiter to complete its or
bit in the heavens.
