The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Not many people invited to lunch at the White House fail to show up Most guests arrive ahead of time. In fact, Toots Shor New York restaurateur and friend of Bob Hannegan, arrived for din- ner at the White House more than thirty minutes early.
 However, Mrs Ted Thackrey, owner of the New York Post, failed to show up at the White House for lunch last w:ek under circumstanc- es which even had the FBI search ing for her.
 When Mrs. Thackrey left New York with her daughter, Sylvia Backer. no word had reached them that they were to be invited to the White House.
 So wher. President Truman told his staff to invite Mrs. Thackrey and daughter to lunch, the problem was to find them Finally the White House called the FBI, and G-men were given the job of finding Mrs. Thackrcy, who happened to be re- gistered at the Statler Hotel here. When G-mel, called the hotel, how ever, the Statler, for some reason, did not admit that she was there.
 Finally J. Edgar Hoover himself took up the search, resorting to the simple expedient of telephoning Broadway columnist Leonard Lyons in New York. Lyons reported that Mrs. Thackrey was registered at the Statler. Having lot to do in Washington, she did not return to her hotel until late.
 Meanwhile the President decreed that he couldn't wait, went ahead with lunch.

Military Intelligence
IWiH Be Inierchanged
IBy u. 5. and Canada
By the Assoeiofed Press

The United States and Canada
were disclosed today to have
agreed on a full exchange OF
military intelligence-inform
ton on what other nations are
up to.
The provision is one of a series OF
point-by- point agreements under
lying a general accord to extend in
definitely the wartime collaboration
of American and Canadian armed
forces, persons familiar with the
year-long negotiations said.
They asserted privately that more
than a score of specific understands
| ings were reached before Washing
| ton and Ottawa jointly announced
the overall agreement late yester-
day.
Two Significant Factors.
The formal statement made no
reference to this background. But
the disclosure of a compact for in
terchange of military intelligence
has deep significance for at least two
reasons:
1. Canada's geographic position
along the Polar Cap air route over
which any attack from Europe or
Northern Asia might come.
2. Canada herself is a recent
victim Of an atom bomb espionage
plot involving Soviet Russia.
While remaining officially silent
on these points, both governments
stressed two others in announcing
the plan to continue their six-year
collaboration for ''the defense of the
north half of the Western Hemi-
| sphere"
The agreement is not formalized i.
treaty; and the decision Is "a con-
tribution to the stability of the world
and to the establishment OF the
United Nations of an effective sys-
tenn of world security"
Speculation on Timing.
There was, nevertheless, some
speculation in diplomatic circles
over the timing of the announce
ment-less than month before the
Big Four foreign ministers meeting
in Moscow. Those who should
know insisted, however, that the ne
gotiations actually started at least
year ago and the timing of yester-
days announcement and the ap-
preaching March 10 session in Mos
COW was a mere coincidence.
Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie
King emphasized the signifcane of
the pact in a report to the Canadian
Parliament at Ottawa yesterday.
"It is apparent to anyone who
has reflected even casually on the
chronological advances Of recent
years that new geographic factors
have been brought into play" Mr..
King declared, adding:
1.-THE polar regions assume new
Importance as the shortest routes
between North America and the
principal centers of population of
the world. When we think of
the defense of Canada we must, in
addition to looking east and west as
in the past, take the north into
consideration as we'll"
The announced agreement en-
braces a flve-point general program
designed to provide:
l. Interchange of individuals $50
as to increase the familiarity of each
country's defense establishment with
that of the other country"
Evening star., 1947-02-13

| 2. General co-operation and ex-
change Of observers In connection
with exercises and with the devel-
opment and tests of material OF
common interest" (Both the United
States and Canada have had OBJ
servers at the Arctic tests conducted
by their respective armies.
3. Encouragement of standardized
arms, equipment, organization,
training methods and new develop
ments.
4. Mutual and reciprocal availabil-
ity of military, naval and air facili-
ties in each country.
S. An underlying principle recog-
nizing that none of the cooperative
arrangements will impair the control
each nation exerts over its own
territory.
Both governments made clear that
no bases are involved in the arrange

ment, and Mr.. King took occasion
before Parliapent to scotch what he
described as a persistent. rumor"
that the United States had asked for
bases "in the Canadian north"
The announcement won general

with some suggestions that it may
spur similar mutual defense CO.

lions to the south.
