Ranking Officials at Reception
For Former Secretary Stinzs0m
By Betty Beale

came to town this weekend and
have been entertained every minute
of their stay. Chief reason for Mr..
and Mrs. James Hale Steinman's s
visit was the -Whitten
wedding, but parties have been given
in their honor ever since the we'd
ding reception ended.
Mr.. Jack Logan entertained fer
them Friday evening at the Statler
Hotel, and they were among the
friends Mr.. and Mrs. George Abel
had in for cocktails Saturday after
noon following the luncheon Maj.
Taylor Simmond gave at the Army
and Navy Club. That evening they
dined with Mrs. Noyes Lewis and
Mr.. Edward Gardner, and last eve
ming they were the guests of honor
at black tie dinner for 16. This
evening they will themselves be
hosts at dinner for some of their
Washington friends.
The whole week end got the most
amusing send-of with Mr.. Logan's
party. His IA guests sat at two tables
in the Embassy Room of the Stat
ler-at least, they were meant to sit
there. But it seems that every
body at the dinner knew nearly
everybody else in the room so that
the table-hopping and shifting of
dinner partners that went on made
the whole affair resemble a scene in
Grand Central Station.
Mrs. George Mesta and Mrs
Noyes Lewis spent part Of the eve
ming in absorbing conversation with
Mr.. George Marshall, owner of the
Redskins, and radio artist Gene
Archer, both of whom were on
another party. Col Don Lowry
wandered afield for awhile and
joined a table for two where Maj
Lewis Ellis sat with Mrs. Ethel Ty-
son. Singer Morton Downey and
pianist Ted Straeter both took
turns chatting with Mr. Logan's
guests who also included Mr.. and
Mrs. Abel, Mr.. Robert Lewis, Mrs
Enid Snow, Mr.. Fred Roy, Maj
Simmons, Mrs. Williams T. Mann
Mr. Igor Cassini, who was down
from New York for the occasion
and Mrs. Austine Cassini. At a
nearby table sat 1t. Gen. and Mrs
Hoyt Vandenberg with guests, at still
another was group including Miss
Marye Thomas and fiance, Mr..
Jesse Spalding, and so on through
out the room. 1t was a gay evening.
Also adding to the liveliness of
the week end was the luncheon Mr..
Fred Roy gave yesterday at the
| SulgraVe Club.

Two hundred thousand flue-cured

dorse an assessment of 10 cents
per acre annually for the next
three years, or about As cents per
farmer each year.

pute over the need for an enlarged
program, but an effort is being
made to solicit the vote of every
flue-cured producer in the belt.
Through full representation, such
as a large vote will bring, Wash
ington officials and foreign market
buyers will become thoroughly
aware of the needs and aims OF
everyone living in the ~flue-cured
belt the release stated.
Tobacco associates, a non-profit
organization, includes in it's mem
bership such persons as ]. B. Hut
son, former U. S. under-secretary

Acclaim F1irohito
AS Japanese Matinee Idol

Japanese police officials two MP
jeeps, widely separated to make
a channel broad enough for the
official limousine, directly precede
the emperor's maroon car. Imper-
ial household authorities follow in
black sedans.
AS the emperor disappears into
each building to yelling cheers,
the crowd settles back to await
his return. Good-natured joking
and friendly showing for position
help pass the time.
Hirohito's temperance brings
echoing "banzai's''. He enters the
limousine quickly, and the entour-
age hurries ahead.
Then the crowd breaks. They
dash through the rope barriers
and past straining policemen in a
surge toward the red automobile,
undeterred by the threat of night
sticks or police authority. If loyal
subjects are quick enough to
dodge the escorting jeeps, they
surround the emperor, scrambling
for a view of him.
One woman was trampled to
death in such a rush during his
Osaka visit and another was in
jured. Once an MP fired two
blank shots into the air to clear
a pathway for the limousine. At
the small town Of Wakayama the
crowd repeatedly tore two tenders
eff the official car.
To all this the emperor seems
puzzled, grateful and uncertain.
He lifts his battered fedora and
bows constantly. He seems almost
pathetically anxious to acknow-
ledge each cheer.
The japanese are coming to
know their emperor more init
mately than any dreamed before
the surrender. They are familiar
with his jerky walk, his hesitant
reactions, his myopic squint. They
know now that his face is covered
with moles-a sign of luck in ia
pan-and that sometimes he has
no time to shave his sparse beard.
But he is still the country's lead
ing matinee idol.

BY RUSSELL BRINES

OSAKA, Japan up The crowd
stiffens and coils like a riptide,
then breaks suddenly around a
cleaning maroon limousine. Once
again white-helmeted American
military police dash to the crest
to rescue the emperor of Japan
from his peoples affection.
The same scene was repeated
in each of a half dozen main cities
in the populous Kansai district
around industrial Osaka which the
emperor visited recently for the
first time. in II years. Hirohito,
an unworried, stumbling little
man in a business suit, proved
two things during that trip:
l. He is still the father" to
hundreds of thousands Of fran
tically cheering subjects in prefec-
tural Japan. They fight viciously
for their first glimpse of the man
whose name sent them into eight
years bloody war.
2. The once-dreaded Japanese
police, who formerly subdued a
crowd by a mere harsh bark, now
are powerless against even friend
ly thousands.
In Tokyo, where the emperor
has toured repeatedly, the crowds
are smaller but just as frantic.
Familiarity in time may thin out
the outward devotion in rural ia
pan, so that, as in Tokyo, he may
travel without escort.
Righ now he needs a well-or-
ganized American bodyguard
against an assault of devotion.
Thousands gather at each point
of his itinerary long before the
emperor arrives. Each spot is
guarded by hundreds OF Japanese
police who establish rope barriers
for the cheerfully milling subjects.
The official encourage is arrang-
ed like a military %spearhead, driv-
ing through croWd-lined streets. 1t

NAVY TESTS new
SOUND EQUIPMENT
May Prove Valuable In
Saving Victims OF Sea
Disasters

WASHINGTON, July 5-(P)-The
Navy announced today it has tried
out its first "Sofar" equipment-to
locate survivors Of sea disasters
and found it successfully trans
mitted signals 1900 miles through
the deep water of the Pacific
ocean.
Experimenting with the initial
installation Of the underwater
sound system, the Navy exploded
a number of four and six pound
bombs near the Hawaiian islands
and recorded the sound at Mont
Grey, Calf.
The Monterey station is the first
of a network of four planned for
the Pacific, with others to be To-
Gated at Point Arena, northwest
of San Francisco, and at Kaneohe
and Hilo, Hawaii.
The Navy said installation Of the
Monterey station is the first step
toward using the new device to
locate the position of persons
adrift at sea.
The sound-carrying qualities OF
water layers from around 1000 to
5000 feet deep were discovered
during wartime submarine detec-
ton Investigations.
In earlier tests bombs were ex-
ploded in the water near Dakar,
Africa. and the sound carried 3,l0O
miles across the deep-water
speaking tube" of the Atlantic.
Navy officials said this range
eventually may be doubled.
Here's how Solar will work in
sea disaster rescues:
Planes will be equipped with
bombs weighing about five
pounds. These may be launched
by a plane in distress or they may
be launched automatically il the
plane crashes into the water.
The bomb sinks to a depth OF
about 1000 feet before exploding.
The sound Of the explosion
travels through the deep water at
about a mile per second. The lis
tenine stations record the sound
both audibly and by recording
tape.
There may be as much as one
half hour difference in the time at
which the signal reaches the varl
GUS stations.
BY figuring the difference IN
time for each station, and baslng
calculations upon the known speed
at which the signal travels, the
location of the explosion may be
plotted.
The Navy said this method re,
veals the location of the RATS OF
seawreck survivors with an erra
of not more than two miles.
Heretofore it has been necessary
to search thousands of miles Of
ocean for planes lost at sea, Navy
officers said. Solar cuts this area
to only a few miles.
