Top honorS went to California
Maryland and Louisiana, but prac-
tically every State was close
runner-up for the table awards
given yesterday at the benefit
luncheon held by the Woman's
National Democratic Club.
The State contest was an ad-
dition to the luncheon program
which featured presentation OF
spring styles by Nettie Rosenstein
Each table hostess was RESPONSE
BILE for providing a centerpiece
representing the beauties and re-
sources typical of her section OF
the country. The result was dis
play that many a guest thought
should be put on exhibit for the
general public.
The judges must have been nau-
tical-minded. At any rate, a
model sailboat was part of the
decoration which helped Mary
land win the prize for the most
appropriate" display. And Louisi-
ana earned the prize for the most
unique" exhibit with a tables sized
model of a shoWboat.
Maryland's table also featured
copies Of THE Star Spangled Ban
ner," recalling to mind that the
National Anthem was composed
by Francis Scott Key while Balti-
more's Fort McHenry was being
bombarded by the British. Fig
urines representing midshipmen
at the Naval Academy and deco
rative oyster shells completed the
Maryland entry.
CALIFORNIA; gold rush" cen
tennial inspired the motif which
won the Golden States table an
award for being the most beauti-
full" The centerpiece was a large
cake covered with white gardenias
and carnations and inscribed in
gold with the dates, 1849 and
1949. A copy of the State map in
gold and small California bear
further symbolized the State.
At an overflow California table,
a graceful date frond formed the
base for golden mound Of Or
anges, lemons. yellow poppies and
acacia.
In selecting the three winners,
the judges had to pass over such
displays as the "silver table" en-
tered by Nevada and the IVA
decoration submitted by Ten
nessee. The latter consisted of

the Hoover Dam, surrounded by
white holly which had been buried
under four inches of snow before
it was gathered to be flown to
Washington.
The District of Columbia CEN
terpiece was a confectioner's de-
sign of the Capitol, White House

had native products flown to
Washington for the exhibits. Two
hundred carnations were dis
pensed from the Colorado table
and the mint juleps at the Ken
lucky table boasted sprigs of real
Kentucky mint, as we'll as Ken
lucky bourbon.
The Blue Grass State, which
was given a place of honor near
the speakers table as the home
of the Vice President, also fea-
tured models of Man O. War and
Citation, the latter wreathed in a
horseshoe of red roses. Such di-
verse attractions as the Whitney

completed the display.

of the head table, was decorated
with a small copy of the State
float used in the inaugural parade.

down to business with spectacular
finality. 1t is the Presidents own
decision to go through on the clo-
ture fight, not setting it aside for
other matters when expedient.
Labor, which has long made
civil rights a battle cry, is for ex-
ample. now notably on the spot.
1t wants the ft-Hartley Act re-
pealed. 1t is vitally concerned
with rent control. which expires
March 81. 1t backs the reciprocal
trade agreements act which also
expires shortly. And so on. At
the moment, labor spokesmen are
pretending to optimism but C1O
vice presidents are meeting here to
discuss their dilemma: other labor
leaders plan huddle here this
week end.
Others Involved.
Similarly situated are the mi
norities and the liberal groups
which are promoting other aspects
of the Truman program-housing,
medical aid, aid to education. etc.
They have clamored for civil
rights; they may now find that
risks are involved and serious de-
lays for the legislation they seek.
President Truman. who has been
