When Sonny Whitney stood up
to say a few words after the meat
course at the dinner given in his
own home for Vice President and
Mrs. Barkley the other evening,
nobody could tell just what he
was getting at. In relaxed, easy
going but dead-pan manner he
started out with the most unin-
formative platitudes he could find
about Washington being a great
city and being located in the
United States and the United
States being a great country.
Washington was great, he went
on, because of its buildings,
beautiful parks, the Potomac
River and the boats that go down
the river. BY then there was q
wide grin on everyone's face and
someone called out, "The Margie." "
That's the cruiser on which the
Weep met his future bride last
July 8.
In one of these boats, continued
Sonny looking down at Jane Bark
ley on his right, sat a man beside
a lovely brunette girl and he must
have said to her these lines from
Kipling:
1.-TWO things greater,
than all things are.
The first is love,
and the second is war.
And since we know not,
how war may prove.
Heart of my heart,
let's talk of love-"
When the Barkleys had been
toasted in champagne, up popped
the Weep and said, IT didn't know
Sonny heard what I said"
Referring to that famous trip
on the Margie, the Weep said he
was sitting next to the Secretary
of State and there were digni-
taries all around him when he
looked at the girl beside him and
noticed a wedding ring on her
finger. She must have read his
mind because she said right away,
I'm a widow"
From that day on, he said, he
was like the girl whose father
was talking to a friend one day.
Tell me-" said the friend, when
does your daughter contemplate
marriage?" Every day." answered
the father. a
Then the Vice President spoke
of the horse that Sonny Whitney
had named after him. "The Weep"

Derby next year. II know it's
going to win and I invite YOU
all to come down to the Derby

By John N. Hishtower
Associated Press Staff Writer

The United States today ma
neuyered to try to keep Chinese
forces-both Nationalist and Com
munist-from becoming involved
in the fighting In Korea.
BY release of a note to the
Nationalist government on For
mosa, this government was on
record with a warning to General
issimo Chang Kai-shek that
before he dispatches any troops
to aid the South Koreans, he
should give careful consideration
to the defenses of his own Com
munist- threatened position.
He was advised to consult Gen.
Macarthur on Formosa's defense
arrangements, and the note dis
closed that plans for the consult
ations between Chang and Mac
Arthur representatives already had
been made.
The published American attitude
toward Nationalist China's offer of
aid in the Korean fighting was
based on "the threat of invasion"
Iof Formosa by Chinese Commu-
nists. However, 1t was understood
here that a major consideration
was the possible reaction of the
Communists to any such aid move.
Diplomatic and military authori-
ties were represented as feeling
that the entrance of Chang S
forces he offered an army of
80, 900 men-into Korea would be
seized on by the Communists as a
convenient excuse for sending
their own Chinese troops into the
fighting on the side of the North
ern invaders.
Johnson and Truman Confer.
Meanwhile, there were these
other developments:
/. Members of the United Ma
tions which are cooperating In
the efforts to roll back the Red
forces from South Korea were re-
ported generally to favor naming
Gen. Macarthur as supreme COM
mander for the United Nations
in this struggle. Diplomats were
concerned, however, with legal
and constitutional problems in
volved in making formal arrange
ments of this kind. American
officials furthermore were deter
mined that no system should be
established under which the u. N.
Security Council would have to
assume responsibility for the CAM
paign: it was felt here that this
would result in tieing up the mill
tary operations in too much red
tape.

from week end cruise, was met
by Secretary of Defense johnson
who gave him the latest reports

tary of State Acheson spent Sun
