Atlantans, who are used to the

the Presidents daughter has been

society that If you don't naturally
belong to. you can't buy your way
into. One of the few Southern
cities which the Metropolitan
Opera visits each spring, it is
choosy about its quality music.
Probably the biggest single
factor contributing to Margaret's
first appearance on Atlanta S
concert stage was the influence OF
the Metropolitan's great Wagner
ian soprano, Helen Traubel. 4. Not
only do Traubel and Margaret
have the same singing coach,
Coenraad v. Bos, but it is
known that at concert book
ing time last year Traubel
felt sure that the Chief
Executives daughter would be
ready by fall for the Star Series.
Traubel has been interested in
Margaret's training since last
year and local impressarios know
that the famous No. Met star
wouldn't work with her If she
didn't have something. Hence
Miss Truman's stock as a singer in
her own right is expected to 60 up.

-Bv Betty BeoIe :

Washington party conversation
can be SO interesting.
Attractive. quick witted Mai.
Gen. Alfred Gruenther was in
fine form at the Jouett Shouses'
the other day. Reminiscing with
Senator Claude Pepper and Father
Walsh. president of Georgetown
University. the General began
telling anecdotes about the
Soviets.
Recalling a "geo-political dis
cussion about who could hold the
most vodka. Russian or an
American" Gen. Gruenther told
how the Russian secret police
used to keep an eye on their
officers when fraternizing with tte
American military at the close of
the war. The minute a Soviet
general or colonel had had
enough to drink. one Of the NKVD
boys would come up and tap
him on the shoulder and say nix
on the vodka. And, said Bill Ma
comb. joining the conversation at
that moment. the Russians used
to keep a spare general or
two on hand to slip In the place
of one who had imbibed too
heavily. In spite of fresh recruits,
however. our boys apparently
held their own.
As an example Of the suspicious
Soviet mind, Gen. Gruenther told
how one of the Russian generals
had complained to him once be-
cause the Life magazine that had
been lent to him had had the
derogatory remarks about Russia
cut out. Gen. Gruenther said no
American would think of doing
such a thing, but he would in
quire. 1t turned out that some
fashion pictures had been clipped
by the folks back home before
sending the magazine to Europe.
