The only real handicap a
woman diplomat has to contend
with is the absence of a spouse
to share her social chores, ac-
cording to Miss Frances E. Willis,
top ranking woman in the United
States Foreign Service.
Diplomacy Is actually q two

diplomats wife can be a tre-
mendous help to him by taking
over the social details"
Miss Willis. who is Counselor of
the United States Legation in Hell
sinki, Finland. is temporarily back
in Washington serving on the
Foreign Service selection board.
The veteran diplomat says she
doesn't know how Mrs. Perle
Mesta, United States Minister
to Luxembourg and an old hand
at parties, manages such matters.
But for herself, there have been
many occasions when she would
have been grateful to have some
one at home to plan the menu
and address the invitations while
she carried on her days work at
the Legation.
Small Porties Importont
Parties-particularly small din

THURSDAY, DECEMBER FL, 1851

The sub-debutante group-so
often forgotten in this season Of

The occasion was the dance
given by Mr.. and Mrs. CORTLAND

Golf and Country Club.
More than 200 of the younger
group and a number of debutantes
were on hand for the party. The
guests were greeted by the hostess
and her lovely daughter before
brightly lighted Christmas tree.
Miss Ferguson was romantically
gowned in a ball dress of the
palest blue tulle made with an
enormous skirt and a bodice spark
ling with brilliants. Mrs. Fergu-
son wore a floor length dress Of
black chantilly lace and corsage
of white orchids.
The honoree, senior at Mount
IVernon seminary, served on Lne

This and That

And that, of course. is where the star
ing comes in.
Proponents of this system declare that
too much staring results in rigidity of
the whole eye structure. including the
muscles in and around it, and that it is
this staring. among other things, that
causes the person to look too fixedly at
one thing, anything, too long at time.
In other words, in youth, as rule. one
looks here, there and everywhere, 80
keeps the eyes dancing through life, as
they ought to, whereas along about
middle age, controlled by many factors,
one tends to adopt the poker face" so
called. as a defense.
BY so doing, according to this school
of thought, one becomes rigid in the
eyes, and takes on many of the ailments
associated with middle aged eyes.
The system is very elastic.
One man we know actually helped his
eyes by no more than looking repeatedly.
while lying in bed, from one corner Of
the room to the other corners, always
coming back each time to the light fix

way seemed even sillier. the fellow told
us.
But ii worked! That was the big fact.
Just before going to sleep each night
he went around and around the ceiling
with his eyes. He worked out varying
modes, first looking toward one corner,
then back to the central light. then down
an imaginary path to the left corner,
then back to the light, and so on.
What this did was to keep the eyes
moving, looking continually from one
point to another. yet at the same time
looking clearly at each individual point.
This seems to be the essence Of the
system, to achieve constant motion, yet
at the same time to see clearly each
thing looked at.
Did he ever get nervous?
He said he did, at first, but this noti-
fed him that he was practicing too long
at one time. So he split his daily prac-
tice into two periods, and later into
three periods, and found that gradually
his slight nervousness left him.
We hope this. answers our correspon-
dent. Trying to help ones self, in our
modern world, is always worthwhile, but
one must at the same time work with
that same self. not against It.

Our Public Golf Course

The maneuvering which seems to be going
on in connection with the Interior Departments
renewal of the contract under which S. g.
Leof1er has been operating the public golf
courses in the District passes all understanding
Presumably these literally are public golf
courses If this is the case, they should be
operated in the interests of the people who use
the courses This can best be done by placing
the operation in the hands of the District Recre~
alton Board and by taking 1t out OF the hands
of private concessionaire
There seems to be no real dispute about this,
and it will be done this year if Congress supplies
the necessary funds requested by the President
Meanwhile, however, there is a dispute as to
when and upon what terms the Recreation Board
will be permitted to take over If the funds are not
appropriated this year.
The proposed new contract would leave
Mr. Leoffler in control of the golf courses for five
years. subject to clause giving the Recreation
Board the right to take over at the end OF the
first year if the necessary funds are available.
The board thinks it should have the right to
take over at the end of any year when the funds
are in hand and The Star agrees with that view.
There does not seem to be any reason under the
sun why Secretary Chapman should let Mr..
Leof1er determine what the contract should
provide on this point, and the Recreation Board
should stand it's ground in insisting upon the
right to take over the golf courses, in the public
interest, in whatever year Congress provides the
money for that purpose.

BETHESDA, Md.

Dear Sir:
II recently read book on care of the
eyes by the new method, and think
understand most of it, and have tried to
put 1t into effect.
II find, however, that trying makes me
nervous. Also, find I do not under
stand exactly about staring.
What has staring to do with it?
Most of the middle-aged people
know stare, as far as I can see, and al
most all OF them wear glasses, too. Are
they related?
"I would appreciate anything you can
say about this matter, and remain.
Sincerely yours, A. D. T."
Trying to make the Bates system Of
eye help work may cause nervousness.
This is because first, the eye is very
close to the brain and the master con-
trolls of the nervous system; second, be-
cause one tries too hard.
The system is called eye exercise, but
really it is relaxation by means of exer-
else.
If one grasps that easily, it is soon
realized that the exercises, as such.
merely tend to relax the eye-and here
II the important point-from staring.

DR.. Adenouer's Demand

With the backing of all West German political
parties except the Communists, Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer has made clear to the puppet East
German Red regime that unless and until that
regime undergoes a complete transformation,
the Federal Republic at Bonn will not negotiate
with it for the political and economic uniication
of partitioned Germany.
DR.. Adenauers statement-nade in reply
to the recent East German propaganda move in
viting his government to take part in such
negotiations-has not absolutely slammed the
door on the idea But it has done the next
nearest thing by bluntly declaring that Western
Germany will join in talks with Eastern Germany
only If the latter Internationally" accepts the
terms laid down by Bonn.
The terms include the following: (1) An end
must be put to Eastern Germany's constantly
increasing" militarization through the so-called
Peoples Police, which is menace" to the
population and "tool Of the Russians" (2 The
East Germans must be granted full political
liberties, including liberty to organize independ-
ent democratic opposition parties. And 90 all
persons living in the Soviet-occupied zone must
be guaranteed Western standards of law, freedom
and human rights, which is another way Of
saying that they must be released from their
present captivity under the tyranny Of the Red
totalitarians.
4A oVAAS1 WoAoo do tA1C CooSAAuo1 ~ PACSoA04oAoA
for Bonns participation in any unihcation talks,
DR.. Adenauer-speaking for all West German
political groups but the Communists-has de-
manded the abolishment of the East German
police state. In effect, the demand is addressed
not so much to the puppet regime as to that
regimes masters in the Kremlin. In that sense,
therefore, it has served admirably defiant notice
on the Soviet Union that Western Germany's
Federal Republic refuses to be trapped into
phony propaganda talks with the Soviet Unions
stooges and will continue to hold fast to that
position as long as the Soviet Union fails to
reverse its present policy
Nothing could seem more remote, of course,
than the possibility of such reversal by the men
of the Kremlin. Their objective in Germany
is to win control of the whole country, and they
can therefore be counted upon to keep on using
the East German Communist regime to that end
So we can expect the Communist propaganda
machine to react savagely to DR.. Adenauer for
daring to demand freedom for Germany. But
the propaganda will not be able to alter the fact
that his position is backed by the overwhelming
majority of his eountrymen and by the entire
Western world as well. 1t is a fact that will not
be helpful to the Russian negotiators if and
when the Kremlins proposal for Big Four
conference the German question is finally
accepted with modification, by France, Britain
and the United States.
