Dear Peggy
Soaring temperatures are no deterrent to partyloving Whining
tonians and beach residents. On the contrary, entertaining seemed
to gather momentum during the past week, as the social set were
on the wing, complimenting numerous ou-of-town guests, Struggling
shoulders at a temperature that climbed bithely over to an Official
"a. In the town teeming with heat, everyone who possibly could beat
a hasty retreat to n of the beaches, where, strictly in keeping with
the acute food situation, most of the get to- gethers' are small and
decidedly informal, with the refreshments being of the simplest and
most cooling variety.
On Tuesday morning at the surf Clubs bridge luncheon four
visitors were honored by four different hostesses at tables ranging
IN size from 10 to 81 luncheon guests. Mrs. James Thornton, Jru
OF Atlanta, Ga, was the honoree at bridge and luncheon, when her
Mother-ln-aw and grandnother-inlaw, Mrs. j. Goodlet Thornton and
Mrs. w. w. Holiday entertained "a guests. At l o'clock Mrs. Will
liam S. R. Beane was hostess to 20 friends who were invited to
luncheon to say au revoir to her ssterin-law, Mrs. Richard Parker
Of Wrightsvile Sound, nee Louise Beane, of Wilmington and Augusta
Ga, who will leave for Marbehead, Mass. shortly to join her hus
band for the month of July. Early in August Mr.. and Mrs. Parker
and child expect to sail for England where Nh. Parker will inaugurate

Strange entertained ten guests at luncheon in honor of Miss Mar
Clark of Tarboro who is spending June on the Northern Extension al
Wrightsvlne Beach and for her guest Mrs. George Stronach of Wilson
formerly Miss Frances Clark of Tarboro. Mrs J. O. Broughton COM

And Leaves for Kiev
BY the Associoted Press

MOSCOW, Aug 30-Fiorello H.
La Guardia, director of the expiring
UNRRA. saw Prime Minister Stain
in the Kremlin last night and left
Moscow today for Kiev in unac-
customed silence.
How long they talked or what they
said was their secret. The New
Yorker had no comment after
ward. Nor would he say anything
noteworthy of his 39-hour visit to
the Russian capital.
He went to Spasso House and
made a social call on Mrs. Walter
Bedell Smith, wife of the United
States Ambassador, excused himself
and drove away.
During his Moscow stay, Mr.. La
Guardia had lunch and a long talk
with Foreign Trade Minister Anas-
tas Mikoyan: spoke lengthily with
Moscow Mayor Georgi Popov; at
tended a Russian vaudeville show
and held news conference at
Spasso House.
At the press interview. Mr.. La
Guardia asserted Russia might &C
cept Russians for immigration
from the $4,000 people now in
UNRRA displaced persons camps.
He said "the question is now under
study and there's a chance the
Soviet Union will take some Of
them"
He had visited White Russia and
the Ukraine before coming here,
and predicted both those invaded
Russian republics would have food
deficiencies lasting into l947 of fats
and meats but not grains.

RusSia's insistence on an early

into q Greek request yesterday for

Most Of the delegates YEARLY OPP
posed the idea of meeting this after

Poland that the Ukraine Foreign
Minister, Dmitri Manuilsky, had just
arrived by plane from Paris to press

of Mr.. Gromyko's statement because
1t had not been submitted for the

Votes Against Albania.
In the final outcome of the debate
on new members, Mr.. johnson voted
against both Albania and Outer
Mongolia, but his ballots did not
veto the two Russian supported
states, for they had lost out by fail
ing to win the necessary majoritt
OF Of II votes.
Before the voting began, Mr..
Gromyko had announced he would
not support Trans-Jordan, Portugal
and Ireland because they had no
diplomatic relations with Moscow.
Mr.. johnson, speaking in the
cause of Portugal, said Russia had
no right under the Charter to OPP
pose an applicant nation which
could otherwise qualify under the
Charter provisions. He said the
Russian had the right to oppose the
applicants, but 1t was reason not
taken from the U. N. Charter.
1T was a Russian reason" Mr..
johnson said.
Mr.. Johnson, speaking heatedly,
in effect accused Russia of violat-
ing the Potsdam agreement. Mr..
johnson said that the Big Three
had agreed on August 2, 1945, at
Potsdam that they would accept
applications from neutrals who
qualified under the Charter. He
said that, based on what Russia said
at Potsdam and what Russia said
today, I'VE may draw the conclu-
sions that are obvious"

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y. Aug.
30.-Follo,uing Is an unofficial
translation OF the remarks last
night BY Andrei A. Gromyko,
Soviet delegate, as prepared by
the United Nations.
In connection with the war the
United Nations waged against their
common foe. Hitler Germany and
militaristic Japan, troops of certain
powers, members of the United Ma
tions, were situated on the territory
Of several countries, members Of the
United Nations, and certain coun-
tries which had not participated in
the war, for the purpose Of driving
out the German and japanese ag-
gressors or to prevent the invasion
by Axis troops.
After these tasks had been COM
pleted and the war had ended and
Germany and Japan were put url-
der the control Of Allied occupation
forces, some of the Allied troops
were Withdrawn from the above
mentioned territories.
Cites Uneasiness Of Countries.
However, according to available
information. Allied troops still con-
tinue to be situated on the territory
Of several member states OF the
United Nations, and other states
not including the former enemy ter
ritories. r
The presence Of Allied troops for
SO long a time after the end of the
war, a presence which Is not called
for by military necessity, must
provoke natural uneasiness in the
peoples Of those countries in which
foreign troops are still stationed.
Further the world public opinion
which Is interested in the establish
ment of peace as soon as possible
and the maintenance of collective
security, follows with open concern
the situation which has been created
in the aforementioned countries.
In accordance with the above, the
Security Council should study the
question Of maintenance of Allied
