Attorney General Howard Nc
Grath has picked up the new
Democratic donkey that was made
for the Marshall Plan cart dis
played at the Washington Cathe-
dral Flower Mart, and as the re-
suit of his acquisition the Cathe-
dral is 5000 to the good. The Nc
GrathS stopped by Rear Admiral
and Mrs. Dwight Dickinson S
home where the animal has been
reposing since the benefit, fell in
love with the life-sized. blue-eyed
Democratic symbol l-to-be, and
purchased it on the spot. If the
weather this afternoon is the gar
den variety, said donkey will be
out in the open and draped with
flowers for the McGrath'S party
for the Spanish Ambassador and
Sonora de Lequerica.
The Attorney General took his
quick-developing camera with him
when he went over to the Dickin-
sons and snapped numerous pic
lures Of his new mascot-in-
scribed one of himself, the donkey
and Mrs. Richard Helms, who de-
signed the donkey. ME. my sister
and brother"
Cathedral worker Mrs. Dickin-
son, a staunch Republican, was SO
delighted with the Irish friendli-
ness and generosity of the Attor-
ney General that she says she's
practically converted to the Demo-
cratic fold.

The George McGhees gave a
dinner the other evening that will
be fondly remembered by their
guests. They didn't have circus
performers, songs, solos or strange
foods. but still the party was a
unique one for Washington.
The formal invitations the
Assistant Secretary of State and
his wife had sent out, handsomely
crested in gold with the American
eagle, had somehow led the recip-
tents to believe that this blace tie
affair was to be a large gathering.
