"A garden party in the rain that
turned out to be big success was
the reception at the Chinese Enl-
bassy yesterday afternoon, the first
one to be given by the new Ambassa-
dor and Nine. Koo. A scintillating,
lively gathering of diplomats and
officials came to help celebrate
China's Independence Day, which
the Chinese call the double ten"
because it falls on the 10th day of
the 10th month.
Stunning Nine. Koo, like most at
tractive women, has fair for MAX
ing her surroundings pleasing to the
eye. The library where she and
the Ambassador received was COM
pletely refurnished in gold and
beige, and the adjoining drawing
room in shades of soft green. Nine.
Koo herself was a striking picture
in a black and gold costume, topped
with jade accessories.
The doors to the wide verandah
Of the Embassy were thrown open,
and a carpet led down the sloping
lawn to double marquee. Tables
were laid with delectable choice
of food, and the combination Of
champagne and masses of white
chrysanthemums gave the party a
weddinglike atmosphere. Although
it was outdoors, there were SO many
people standing under the marquee
1t felt like a summers day.
This is not the first time Am
bassador Koo has served his govern
ment in Washington, as he came
here when he was %, as Minister
from China, when the Embassy was
still Legation. He also served as
head of the Chinese delegation to
the Peace Conference after the First
World War; SO although he is a
young looking Ambassador he has
many years of experience behind
him.
Independence Day in China goes
back to october 10, 1911, when Sun
Yat Sen, after several abortive rev.
olutions, finally succeeded in over
throwing the Manchu Dynasty. He
wass president of the new republic
for a few days and then modestly
thought that he should not accept
the presidency. Yam Shih Kai,

Rapid Subway Cars
For District Opposed
By Planning Board

The Commissioners have been ad-
vised that the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission is Op-
posed to rapid subway transporta-
ton for the District similar to those
of New York and Philadelphia, but
recognizes that in some cases solu-
ton of the city traffic problem may
require separation of streetcar from
free-Wheel traffic, it was learned
today.
The commissions position was
disclosed in a letter from Maj. Gen.
U. S. Grant III, commission chair
man, in which he renewed an ear
lier suggestion for a series of con-
ferences between his group and the
District government to work out a
permanent traffic solution.
The letter was believed to be in
reply to a statement in the recent
siX-year master plan for District
development by Engineer Commits
sloner Gordon R. Young that, in
connection with the taffic and sub
way problem, the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission was
asked many months ago for recon-
mendations but produced nothing"
The Engineer Commissioners plan
specified that if subways are neces-
sary they should be in the form of
normal speed underground street.
cars in the congested downtown
area only.
Gen. Grant said his commission
is in full accord with Gen. Young
that fast underground trains are
Evening star., 1946-07-02

not justified here, and added that
remedial measures for traffic con-
gestion must ultimately include a
certain amount of underground
work to provide separations of
grades and in some cases to sep
arate streetcars from wheel
traffic"
Commissioner John Russell Young
has replied to Gen. Grant, taking
note of the ''close correspondence
between your views and those ex-
pressed by Gen. Young in his recent
preliminary plan; although the
latter does not go quite SO far in
that he is still uncertain as to the
necessity for subWays."
Mr.. Young said the Commissioners
would be glad to hear Gen. Grant
on the subject at any time.
