G0ssett addresses

|OfCbepy Chase

immigration based on need or
merit should be drawn from other
sources than displaced persons
camps, Representative Gossett of
Texas said yesterday at the
monthly meeting of the Woman's
Club. of Chevy Chase.
| "There are 10000, 900 others in
the world more worthy of immi-
grafton here" he stressed. I'VE
should take: care in this day, when
fifth columns are the order of in
filtration, of the folks we invite
over here" he declared.
The speaker. who visited some
| of the DIP camps in Europe, is a
member of the House subcommit-
tee dealing with immigration and
allied problems.
Mr.. Gossett said the "hue and
cry" that the DPS would be killed
If they returned to their countries
is pure bosh." He declared that
persons in a Jewish camp outside
of Frankfurt, Germany. when
questioned made it clear they
didn't want to return to their
countries because they wanted to
come to America"
1T became a preferred status
in Europe to be in an American
DIP camp" Representative Cos
sett continued. I'VE feed these
people 1000 calories a day. Many
said they had no place to 60, but
the plain truth was there was no
place they wanted to go. but
America. Australia literally Is
begging for immigrants.
"Sentimentalists say we ought
to open the door to the displaced
persons" he continued mo other
country on earth operates this
way. It's our door and throwing
lit open is not for our country's
best interest.
Some people say we must be
good Christians and take in the
people who have sat in our camps
for years. say this wouldn't be
good Christianity-it would be
stupidity"
Mr.. Gossett warned the audi
ence to read between the lines
when they saw pictures of little
children as representative of the
people in the DIP camps. 1t isn't
the children who are coming
over, he said.
Mr.. GoSsett said workers were
not needed in this country and a
club member asked why there had
been story in the news that we
needed farm labor.
He sreplied that the displaced
persons wouldn't strike lick on
a farm"

There was considerable beauty
in the Embassy of Ecuador yes
terday evening-both animate and
inanimate. The elegantly dressed
and good-looking guests found
themselves in a setting of lovely
charm and color. The interior Of
the Ambassador residence was,
in fact, the source Of all kinds OF
envy of his wife's decorating
talents.
The Chief of the Ecuadorean
mission and Sonora de Dillon gave
a party for the refreshingly SIM
pie reason that they wanted to.
The 6 to affair drew number
of diplomats and State Depart
ment officials who had to rush off,
ready or not, because there were
so many parties on the schedule.
The hosts greeted their guests
in the reception room which has
heavenly grey-blue walls and
hangings of matching print on
white background. Petite Sonora
de Dillon mixed the color of the
walls in all the rooms and chose
the furnishings with unerring
taste. Gold damask hangings COW
cred the windows in the drawing
room of a paler hue, the whole af-
fording a perfect background for
the beautiful flower arrangements
noticed by both men and women
at yesterdays party. The most
exquisite bouquet was in the high
silver vase on the dining room
table. Long stemmed white Ii
laos, which had been flown from
Holland yesterday morning, were
combined with pink roses.
Mrs. Max o. Truitt, hatless and
in blue satin dress, was there
but left early to have dinner, she
said, with her men," referring to
her four tall sons. The dean of
the diplomatic corps, the NorWe-
gian Ambassador, and Nine
Munthe de Morgenstierne were
having something that must have
been akin to a diplomatic discus
sion with the Dutch Ambassador
and Nine. van Kleffens and the
New Zealand Ambassador, Sir Carl
BerendSen.
Nine. Bonnet caused. outbursts
of admiration with her beWitch-
ing black hat with greige feathers
that swept down and coquettish-
ly shaded one side of her face
She was accompanied by her hard
working husband, the French Am
bassador.
Spanish Ambassador Felix Le-
querica, who is already one Of the
more popular diplomats in Wash
ington, was introducing his wife
who arrived here only two weeks
ago. An attractive blonde woman
with a warm smile, Sonora de Le-
querica doesn't speak English but
her French, Spanish and smile
were enough yesterday. She and
her husband entertained at din
ner last night. so had to go before
some of their guests who arrived
in dinner clothes.
The Rev. DR.. Joseph Francis
Thorning, associate editor of the
magazine, Americas, said that he
had just heard that United States
Ambassador Walter Joseph Don.

In another week the Indian Am
bassador and Lady Rama 'Rau will
be leaving Washington. And by
the 26th they'll be sailing on the
Queen Mary en- route to their
homeland. The Ambassador and
his wife have been in Washington
only six months but they have
made so many friends, it would
seem they'd been here much
longer time.
The reception they gave yester-
day to say goodby was proof in it
self of their popularity. In spite
of two parties going on at the
same hours at another embassy
and legation-and bad weather
which can put kink in any party
several hundred members of
Washington society wended their
way to the Indian Embassy to say
farewell.
Parties. at the Indian Embassy
are always more colorful than at
any others, because the Embassy
ladies wear their beautiful saris.
Lady Rama Rau-s yesterday was
a striking combination of purple
and blue silk bordered in gold.
She made a handsome picture as
she received with the Ambassador
in a room which had light blue
carpet, gold brocade draperies and
a large bouquet of pink and blue
flowers.
Mrs. Premila Wagle. the Rama
Raus' daughter, who'll sail home
with them, explained that the red
and gold border of her white chif-
fon sari had been designed from
the pattern of an old Indian
shawl. Her diamond and ruby
choker was temple jewelry sew
eral hundred years old.
Handmade Je,Ueiry
Mrs. I. S. Chopra. wife of the
Counselor of the Embassy. also
wore white chiffon and her sari
was bordered in gold and sprin-
kled with tiny gold stars. Hand
wrought gold fashioned her neck
lace. bracelets and earrings.

Supply Mission at the party were

She slid in behind the wheel as
Martha got out. Martha gathered
up her packages, and then, just as
Joyce switched the ignition on,
she said, Joyce, come into the
house. l want to talk to you"
Something in her face gave Joyce
pause. Curious, she got out of the
car to follow Martha across the
lawn. Martha tumbled the pack
ages onto the sofa and turned to
her as she stood there in the door,
way.
Joyce, l want you and the
children to 60 home. Today. On

wide. why, for Pete's sake!"
And l don't want you to come

forehead. ITO our own home?"
This isn't your home. It's
your fathers home and - and
mine, and I'm going to live
for him now"
"Dad?" Joyce's eyes ran over
her, and something struck Joyce
as funny. Her voice was amused.
why, dearest! Can this be love?"
Martha flushed. Her lip trem-
bled and then stiffened. Her chin
went up. She said, 1T was love
once, Joyce"
AND then her heart failed her as
she stood on the porch steps while
the taxi chugged at the curb.

Martha opened her mouth to call
to Joyce. She did call. She called,
"Oh, Joyce" Then Johns face
wavered before her eyes, and she
called. Il bought some things.
I'm mail them"
She saw Joyce sitting there in
the taxi with Bonny on her lap;
with Pete on the seat beside her,
his small feet sticking straight out,
his lower lip protruding. Still,

She heard the car in the drive,
but it couldn't be John. Not yet!
1t couldn't be, but it was. 1t was
John, standing there in the door
way. His eyes travelled around
the living room. He saw the flow
ers. He saw the tray of cocktail
glasses on the coffee table. His
eyes turned to Martha as she stood
there in the gingham apron, the
towel around her head, with traces
of the pie dough clinging to her
hands. He said, "A party for
Joyce?"
For - for US, John"
For us?" His eyebrows went
up. "A party?"
1T - it's a special day, isn't
it," Martha faltered.
JOHN grinned then, and there
was something shy about it. There
was a touch of bravado in the
casual way he said, "Oh, by
George, that reminds me-"
He took something from the
inner breast pocket of his coat.
1t was a velvet box. He snapped
the box open and held it for
Martha to see. Looking down,
she saw something shining up at
her from a nest of white satin.
1t was a shoulder ornament. A
cluster of forget-me-nots in sap
phires. 1t was beautiful. Martha
saw it through tears. 1t was beau
tiful, and it had cost too much.
John, IL" Her throat had
closed.
She felt him awkwardly trying
to pin the sapphires to the shoul-
der strap of her apron. She heard
him say, alice helped me shop
for it, but l told her it had to be
blue" He stood back to gauge the
effect, and Martha looked up.
JOHN remembered. He remem-
bered, because he said, 1T must
be the apron. Your eyes couldn't
be that blue, could they?"
She fought the tears back then.
John. l sent Joyce home because
IL wanted to be alone with -

Beau, eh?" She saw the quick
twinkle in his eyes. 1t belied the
dark suspicion in his voice. And
