The social spotlight already /!
darting from place to place In the
Quaker City to play on the lighter
side of the Republican National
Convention. The brilliant festivity
scheduled to take place while Phil
adelphia is taken over by the Re-
publicans Is the answer to q party
To- ers dream. ...=
The entertaining got underway
Yesterday and through the con-
vention days-that is when delegates
are not in session-almost every hour
from breakfast to dinner time and
still later-will find parties all over
the place.
Only a handful Of capitalites will
have a look-in on the convention.
In fact, only % tickets were allotted
to the District Republican delega-
ton. But a number of party en-
thusiasts from this city are going to
take part in the entertainment end
of the big meeting. OF course, con-
gressional members and their wives
who have a prominent place In So
ciety here, have tickets for the con-
vention and they, too, will augment
the number of Washington guests at
various social affairs.
Mof0rinP From Newport .
Mrs. George Mesta is motoring to-
day to the Quaker City from New
port, where she is spending the sum-
mer months. She hasn't mapped
out set program for honoring Re-
publican friends, but she says she is
going to give a lot Of impromptu
parties. The famous hostess will be
at the Barclay while in Philly and
she says she will entertain when
ever and where she can get friends
together.
Mrs. Thad Brown is another pop
ular member of society who will be
prominent at after-sessisns party
ing, as we'll as at the convention.
AS the Republican committeewom-
an for the District of Columbia, she
has been in Philadelphia for sew
eral days, busy with official duties
However. she did take time out to
attend the dinner last night given
by the Chairman OF the Republican
National Committee and Mrs. Car
roll Reece for the committee men,
bers. Later, Mrs. Brown went to the

She also was at the luncheon Mrs
Worthington Scranton gave at
Strawberry Mansion, in the suburbs
of Philadelphia. Mrs. Scranton, by
the way, is the committeewoman for
Pennsylvania. She has one Of the
show places In Scranton, Pa, and Is
one OF the towns social leaders, as
we'll as being prominent in politics.
Mrs. Joseph r. harrington, cap
able president of the League of Re.
publican Women, who has been ac-
tive in Republican affairs for years,
is attending the convention as the
wife of the Hawaiian delegate. No
official of the league, 1t is under
stood. was given a ticket, so it can
readily be seen how very, very scarce
convention pasteboards are.
Mrs. Emil Hurja and Mrs. A
Burks Summers were recipients OF
coveted tickets for the convention
because, according to officials, OF
their outstanding contribution to
the success of the victory ball
held In the Capital several months
ago. OF course, their husbands were
included.
Mrs. William s. Culbertson-she
is former president of the league
is a delegate to the convention
and she is planning luncheon for
the District delegates.
A delightful function on the calen-
dar for the District of Columbia
delegation will be a buffet supper
this evening at Eastdene. the pala-
tial home of Mrs. Charlton Henry

Mrs. Edwin Colloday, Mr.. and Mrs
Joseph C. McCarraghy, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Hart, jr.; Mr.. and Mrs
Louis Breuninger and Mrs. Robert
w. McCauley.
Another event where some OF the
District group will get together will
be the breakfast today given by Gen
and Mrs. Milton G. Baker. To-
morrow, Representative and Mrs
Clarence Brown are giving recep-
ton and Capitalites will be among
the guests.

man of the board of the Manu-

civic affairs, Mr.. Gibson spent the
war abroad as American Red Cross

Mr.. Truman is receiving optimis-

Ask Bridges Consultation.
Democratic members are suggest

item of the amount to be immedi-
ately authorized, Chairman Bridges
of the Appropriations Committee be
called for consultation. They be-
lieve that if he can be induced to
commit himself to advance support

ERP supporters expect the cur

blow fair winds their way from
Middle Westerners who have been
straddling or were cool. Chairman

bloc has been expecting ERP buy

those prices breaking, ERP naturally

This Changing World
Partitioning of Palestine Regarded
AS Administration No. Headache

the u. N. decision which assumed
Britain's mandate, it will be ques-,
tionable whether less than a million
Jews will be able to resist the mil
lions of Arabs who inhabit and sur
round Palestine.
At the same time, King Ibn Saud
has made it clear to Washington
that so long as America does not
intervene physically in Palestine he
will do nothing to disrupt the pres
ent agreement on the oil fields. But
as soon as this country lifts the
arms embargo or decides to parti-
cipate with armed forces in enforce
ment of the U N. decision, he will
be- compelled to cancel the oil con-
cessions and expel-for their own
security-all the American citizens
in his domain.
Zionists Concerned.
Events of the past few months
lend credence to warnings from all
the Arab states that there will be
blood bath if the U. N. decision
which the Arab governments claim
was obtained by unfair means-is
supplemented.
Zionist spokesman are seriously
concerned. At present they are try
ing to induce the American Govern
ment-to which many of them owe
allegiance-to lift the arms embargo
in order to provide the Jewish mill
tia in Palestine with modern mill
tary equipment.
There is still strong resistance to
this proposition in leading Govern
ment quarters because Cd it is not
believed that the sending of arms
alone would enable the Jewish mill
tary force to obtain decisive vic
tory over the Arabs, and 90 1t would
mean the loss of the oil concessions
in Saudi Arabia, which are consid-
cred vital not only for American
national defense, but also for the
Marshall Plan.
Moreover, it is feared that the
lifting of the arms embargo would
precipitate real war in Palestine
which would result In loud clamor
from supporters of the Jewish state
for military intervention. Such
action would require large Ameri-
can contingent.
Moreover. in military quarters
here and in Britain the fear is felt
that the U. S. S. r. would take ad-
vantage of the situation to send a
large number of troops to establish
a strong military and air base near
the Suez Canal.

Until the final decision had been
made the American Government
was lulled into the belief that the
Arab opposition would be only
vocal. Zionist leaders in this coun-
try and abroad pointed out that
the Arabs did not have the military
power to oppose even the small, but
well-trained, Jewish forces in Pal
estine.
When high Washington officials
who are responsible for our long
range national defense policy ex-
pressed fear that active support by
America for the Zionists might cost

Over-Optimism Seen.
Recent developments show, how
ever, that advocates of immediate
creation of Jewish state in Pales-
tine were over-optimistic. The Arab
forces, while inferior to the western
armies, nevertheless are well Or
ganized and moved by a fanatical
spirit, which makes them fight to
the last ditch.
So long as there are about 100,-
900 British troops, backed by an air
force, in Palestine, incursions into
the Holy Land from adjacent coun-
tries will be limited. But as soon
as the British troops are evacuated

This is not to say that the Presi-

politics does enter into the matter
The President cannot afford, MOI
can the Republicans, to allow
Henry Wallace to kidnap the mil

moment the probable result would
appear to be the splitting of the
vote three ways.
G. O. p. to Say Plenty.
The President has not said his
last word on the subject. He will
be required to declare himself
again when the fight gets under
way in the Senate. The Republican
spokesman will have plenty to say
when that time comes. But the
campaign issue will be made i'm.
portant by the Southern opposi-
ton. A filibuster always is dra-

President, having turned much, II
not most, of the wrath against him

There was time last fall when II
was possible to be less cynical about
all this. 1t seemed then that the
desire of some Republicans and
some Democrats for change in the

is still necessary to limit debate, anc
that's about all the filibusterers

Present indications are that the
Federal antilynching bill is the one
over which the fight will be made
in the Senate. The anti-poI tax bill
already passed by the House, is
thought to have less dramatic-and
political-appeal.

Ambassador Bullitt on May 10 that
Reynaud intended that evening tc
send personal appeal to the Pres

for Mr.. Roosevelt to obtain from
Congress a declaration OF wal

Bullitt cabled the President and
me that he replied to Leger thai
such an appeal would be worse thar
useless, that the President would
not ask Congress to declare war or
Germany, and that Congress would
vote almost unanimously against a
declaration of war.
Bullitt pointed out bluntly tc
Leger that if Reynaud made such
an appeal it would be purely TO,

day to be able to show he had ap-
pealed to the President of the

had rejected his appeal. Bullitt
