Colo PIozo Dispenses With Protocol;
Admiral. Carney Gets Beorskin Doto
By Betty BeoIe

! Vigorous, handsome President
IGalo Plaza has always been irked
by protocol and still is. The bane
lof his ambassadorial days here
five years ago was having to leave
la good party right after dinner
so the older and inf1rm guests OF
lesser rank could go home. For
that reason he announced immedi-
lately that it would be dispensed
with at the dance given Thurs
day night by Cuban Ambassador
Machado. He couldn't, however,
dispense with the Secret Service
men assigned to guard him. They
were close on his heels even when
The walked out into the garden
after a twirl In the ballroom.
Spanish Ambassador Felix Le-
Iquerica takes a more philosophical
view toward protocol. If it wasn't
for those hard fixed official rules,
he says, seating. precedence, etc !,
would become enormously COM
Iplicated. AS it is each envoy his
Ia number and there can be no
question about where he belongs.
Which brings to mind an
anecdote that shows how an am
bassador must really know his
onions to see that his country
doesn't take a back seat. A few
years ago when the very expert
enced and confident jefferson
Caffery was United States Ambas-
Sador to France, he was invited to
a dinner given by an ambassador
of friendly country in honor of
a British director of UNESCO. A
glance at the company present
quickly informed Mr.. Gallery that
there was no one there who ex-l
ceeded the ranP of the American
Ambassador and of course in Of
ficial circles an honor guest can
not occupy the place of honor un-
less he also has the most rank.
Consequently when the. party
proceeded into the dining room,
dignified Ambassador Caffery went
directly to the chair to the right
OF the hostess. Then he discovered
the UNESCO mans name on thel
place card, Without blinking anl
eye, and with utter casualness, heI
picked 1t up, tossed it to the hoori
and sat down. The next day.

! Word comes from London that
Admiral Robert B. Carney, who
has just been appointed Med
! literranean commander for At
llantic Pact forces, was present
lat the annual, traditional Troop
ling of the Color in Lon
don earlier this month, but
The didn't see much of the cere-
lnlony. The former Cominch of
the United States Naval forces in
the Eastern and Mediterranean
larea has been stationed in London
during the past year, hence was on
hand for the colorful exercises re-
viewed this year by Princess Eliza
beth mounted on her horse in
elegant sidesaddle fashion.
Admiral Carney hardly saw any,
thing because the British general
beside him consumed his interest
in the bearskin crisis. The gov
ernment of the United Kingdom,
the story goes. is faced with an
embarrassing shortage in bear
skins. All those handsomely at
tired British guards, except the
Grenadiers, wear tall. weighty
bearskin hats on full dress occa-
sions and the skins have always
come from Russia. Now the Soviet
bear has cut off the export Of
its progeny to the British lion
so under what kind of heavy
chapeau can the guardsmen bear
up in the future?

Letter To Santa Goes
Astray; ID. c. Man Sees
1t On Christmas Tree

A reader of the Sentinel tells
US that her uncle in Washington
purchased a spruce Christmas tree
at the market in that city, and
when decorating the tree found the
following letter tied tightly on the
tree wrapped in piece of waxed
paper.
Dear Santa: My sister wants a
bicycle some candy and presents.

writing for her.
Love, Royce Clark, Upper Nell
son, North County, N. B."
1t would be interesting to have
seen the children, in the snow COW
cred forests of New Brunswick,
planning their letter to Santa and
tying it to the tree. Too bad the
letter was missent and did not
reach Santa in time for Christmas.
However, perhaps the spirit of
Christmas" did know the children's
wishes, and the "bicycle, candy and
presents" arrived safely.
