future musical plans. She is going
"Rigoletto," and perhaps I'll Travia
of the year. She wouldn't divulge,
though, with what opera company
she would sing nor where it would
perform.
From the looks of the club dining
room, the Junior League of Wash
ington had turned out, as usual, in
full force for this party. Mr.. Walter
Kotschnig, the guest speaker, had a
large and attentive audience while
he talked for an hour on The
United Nations ana You" He said
that he couldn't look at both his au-
dience and his notes with his new
glasses, but he preferred looking at
his audience. 1t was easy to see
why; some of the Capitals prettiest
and smartest women were present.
Standing out on the inclosed
porch, where cocktails were served
before luncheon, was Mrs. George

Speaks on u. ".
Mr.. Kotschnig, who is chief of
the Division of United Nations
Economic and Social Affairs in the
State Department, began by saying
that the question of today is, Is the
U. N. machinery which has been
set up giving us q false sense of
security from which we will awaken
in another war, or Is 1t leading to
peace?
Explaining the set-up of the U. N,
describing its failures and successes
to date, the speaker pointed to the
growing block of democratic nations
that can't help but impress Russia
and her satellite nations. With ref
erence to the latter always toeing
the Soviet line, he told the story
that's currently being banded about.
A chief of one of the satellite dele
cations was walking along in Paris
with an umbrella over his head on
o beautiful. cloudless day. When
asked by an acquaintance why the
open umbrella, he replied, II have
just been informed 1t Is raining in
Moscow"
Russia has no intention Of accept
ing any kind Of agreement to make
disarmament possible, Mr.. Kotsch-
mig said, but without the clarifica-
tion of the General Assembly. which
Senator Vandenberg has called "the
town meeting of the world" we
would be in bog Of propaganda. The
Security Council, he added, has kept
the Big Five talking and as long as
they keep talking they will not
shoot, and time. he said, is on the
side of peace not war. The work of
the Economic and Social Council will
usher in n new ara 0f internati0na a
