you independently-if you dare.
Average of the two scores will

Capitalites usually are very
happy with a summer party invi-
tation that reads, in the Garden"
anything to keep from being
jostled and ruff1ed by hundreds of
people indoors. But you can bet
this wasn't true last evening at
the reception given by the Pakis-
tan Ambassador and Mrs. Ispa-
hani.
The hosts attractive residence
at 2343 S street is aforementioned,
which is quite an inducement
under any circumstances. And
the guests invited to help the PAX
istanianS celebrate their Inde-
pendence Day soon found their
way inside.
True, the gardens green lawn
looks like a soft carpet and there
are tremendous trees that are very
inviting, but still that cool air
circulating through the house is
hard to beat.
Buffet Enticinq
The bill of fare included the
usual cold turkey, salmon, salads,
cookies, and ice cream. Actually,
everything was cold except for the
always popular PakiStan rice and
curry which was a little milder
last evening. Some thought the
weather a little hot to eat this
well-seaSoned dish, but the, braver
souls felt it was just the thing to
cool them off-you're so hot In
side you forget the outside.
Included in the steady stream
of guests that dropped by to
greet the Ambassador and his
wife on their holiday were most
of the members of the diplomatic
corps still in town, numerous high
Government officials, and of
course residential society was well
represented.
A few of the hundreds of people
that helped diSprove the claim
that most every one that possibly
can stays out of Washington dur
ing the hot months by showing up
at the Embassy last evening were
the Thailand Ambassador and
Princess Wan Waithayakon, the
Ceylon Ambassador and Nine.
Corea, Nine. Pandit, the Indian
Ambassador: Senator Homer
Ferguson, Representative Frances
Bolton, New Zealand Ambassador
and Lady Berendsen, and al
gentleman who is not often seen
at large Washington gatherings,
Mr.. John Foster Dulles.
Included in the State Depart
ment representation were As
ststant Secretary George McGheeE
and Mr.. Raymond Muir. Also on
hand were Economic StabilizerI
Eric Johnston, the Syrian Minis
ter and Nine. El-Khouri, Philip
pine Ambassador Joaquin M
Elizalde, Australian Ambassador
Percy Spender, Mr.. and Mrs. Rob-
ert V. Fleming. and so on.

When Washington says Funny
man Allen, 1t means George z.
Allen. not radio comedian Fred
Allen. The term that used to be
tagged onto Georges name was
court jester" meaning that when
there was a dearth Of mirth
around the White House during
the war years George was the man
who could supply it.
The high-sounding titles of his
former and present jobs-commis-
sioner Of the District Of Columbia,
director Of the RFC. chairman of
the board Of the Duke Interna-
tional Corp, member Of the exec
utive committee and director Of
the Avco Manufacturing Corp, etc.
give no intimation Of Mr.. Aliens
ability to tickle the funnybone.
Yet both his friends and enemies
consider his ready humor his
greatest asset. Not that any mans
only a jester, court or otherwise.
they add, who is a director on
the boards of 81 companies! But
his jollity has promoted friendship
with presidents-leading to his
first literary opus, Presidents
Who Have Known Me-" and it is
more than likely one Of the rea-
sons why Gen. Eisenhower prefers
his company to that Of almost any
other friend. They even bought
adjoining farms at Gettysburg,
Pa.
Now it looks as though Georges
talent for cracking wise is going
to be heard on national scale.
Sunday. August 26, at
4:30 In the afternoon he will go
on a weekly network TV show
that will undoubtedly reveal the
secret of his success. He'll be the
moderator Of a program designed
to feature the top man in the
news each week getting the third
degree, as it were, from such
figures in industry as Republic
Steers Tom Girdler, Avco's Vic
tor Emmanuel, etc. All George has
to do to choose a panel is look
over his directorships. This big
break into a new field, which
may make Senator Tobey envious,
is all due to his success as a guest
panelist on the who Said That"
program. The Senator, of course :,

These goals were reached in
