PRICE REDUCTIONS TO BE
FELT WITHIN 80 DAYS,
THEY SAY

This newspaper has received a
press release from the Richmond
District OF the OPS An effort has
gobbledegook and put it in lam
guage that can be understood, 1t
probably means something and is
passed on for the benefit of the
public.
1t seems that great many res
taurant operators in Southwest
Virginia have failed to send the
OPS information about their bus
mess. Especially, the OPS wants
to know the amount of sales dur
ing a certain period and the total
costs to the restaurants In this
way, the profits can be -calculat-
ed.
The OPS says that automobile
owners cannot be charged more
for repairs needed to pass inspec-
tons than was charged from De-
cenber 10, 1850, to January 10,
1851 The sky was the limit, any
way, and this will probably not
help the poor automobile owners
much
A statement from Price Stabi-
hzation Director Michael v. Dr.

to pay less for many goods and

Romance is keeping Washington
alive with parties these days, and
yesterday was no exception.
There were three parties for
young people and each came into
being as a celebration for newly
weds or about-to-be-weds.
The arrival in town Of Mr.
Henry Strong and his bride of
three weeks-the former Miss Ma
Ian Swing-brought a number of
young people to Mr.. and Mrs.
Sherman Trowbridge's George
town home to celebrate the oc-
casion.
The Trowbridges, Mr.. Strong's
aunt and uncle. invited a small
group of his friends for an after
six cocktail party to meet the new
Mrs. Strong. She is petite. blond
and an altogether delightful ad-
dition to Washington society.
The bride, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dolf Swing of New York,
held court in the tiny garden while
Mr.. Strong received congratula-
tions on all sides.
Perhaps the most delighted peo-
pie at the party were Mr.. and Mrs.
Trowbridge who have missed the
young in their home since their
daughter, Janet, embarked for
Europe July 13. Word has come
from her at Cherbourg that she

tury must have crossed each per-
sons mind. Australian Prime
Minister Robert Menzies wrote
after his last trip here that this
tradition Of respect had impressed
him more than anything else on
his visit.
There are at least two stories
concerning the origin of the Gus
tom. One claims it began the
night Washington died, December
IA, 1899, to be continued ever
since. The other, surprisingly
enough. says it must be attributed
to an English commander who
sailed up the Potomac during the
war Of 1912 and ordered the flags
dipped and cannon fired in tribute
to Washington's memory.
When the Sequoia returned to
its dock at the Naval Air Station
that evening, all but members of
the Matthews family said good
bye and disembarked. There were
good wishes for the future and
Secretary Matthews spoke of what
he had hoped and believed he had
accomplished during the past. One
|of the accomplishments of which
he was proudest was his selection
|of Admiral Sherman as chief of
Naval Operations. 1t seemed
strange that on the eve Of his
own Navy swansong he should
hear that finis had been written
to the brilliant career of the man
he had chosen. The shocking news
came around noon the next day
while the Sequoia was docked at
Dahlgren, Va. Mr.. and Mrs.
Matthews Immediately boarded
"a plane there and few back to-
Washington.
After a briefing period at the
State Department, Mr.. Matthews
will return to Omaha. He and
his wife will undoubtedly come

Last Saturday evening Secre-
tary Of the Navy Frank Matthews
went down the, river on the q 8. s.
|Sequoia for the last time as It's
official owner. Neither he nor any
one else on board could have
dreamed that the tragic news of
Admiral Forrest Sherman's death
would be flashed to the yacht the
next morning.
Just the day before the retiring
secretary had taken his official
resignation to the President It
will become effective July 81 and
on the next day he will be sworn
in as United States Ambassador to
ireland in the Office of the Seere-
tary of State. Both he and Mrs,
Matthews have met more than
once recently with the outgoing
Ambassador and Mrs. George Gar
rett to discuss this subject of
mutual interest.
The Sequoia made two trips
down the Potomac Saturday
night. The first began soon after
6 o'clock when 13 persons had
boarded the yacht to the smart
attention Of its skipper, 1t. Kent
Rosemont, and his white uni
formed crew. The small party
included the Matthews son-in-law
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Dwyer of Erie, Pa. and their II
months baby, Claire; Judge Of
the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia and
Mrs. Edward A. Tamm and a

they arrived aboard The S. S.

Brazilians and United States off,

The woman whose children have

and unusual life.

a student at Woodrow Wilson
High School this past year.
The other two children are
James. now a student at Western
High School, who will remain to
finish his education here. and
Shireen, now Mrs. Farhad Ghahre-
mani of Berkeley, Calf. Shireen's
husband, who received his degree
in engineering at the University
of California last June, is also
an Iranian.
Five years ago, Mrs. Bakhtiar
returned to the States so that
the children could have an Amer
lean education. You can't be a
full time nurse and keep an eye
on seven children, so she turned
to real estate. Il feel guilty that
II was doing something I wasn't
trained for" she said, "particu-
larly when the need was so great,
but I felt that was the kind of q
Job to have with raising a fam
lily"
Now. with a major part of her
mother role accomplished, Mrs
IBakhtiar is happy once again to
be getting back on familiar ground
She will also find the going little
easier.
When she first went to Iran 20
years ago, Mrs. Bakhtiar's husband
founded one of the first private
hospitals in Teheran and she be-
came its first superintendent OF
nurses. With no knowledge of Per-
sian, she had to pick it UP by ear
She also had the difficult job OF
convincing tradition minded Iran
ianS that "a woman can be a lady
and still work"
Now, Mrs. Bakhtiar is going tc
do a job that was requested by the
Iranian government. "It gives me
such a sense of security to know
1 will be working with all the re-
sources of the United States Gov
lernment behind me-" she said
"The first time I was alone ir
what I was trying to do, but this
time I'll be working not only with
our own specialists but with health
experts from the Iran gov
ernment."
Most Of the Point Four health
mission work will be done in the
rural sections where there is the
greatest need, Mrs. Bakhtiar point
ed out. Since most of the villages
are composed of one-room adobe
huts with dirt floors, with no room
to accommodate visitors, the mis-.
sion will have to camp out. "It''
going to be very rugged" Mrs
Bakhtiar said with a laugh.
But it shouldn't be too hard or
her. After ALL" she said, "havins

Bakhtiar lived in one for ten
years.
The daughter of Capt. and Mrs.
James w. Jeffreys of Los Angeles,
she was studying for a graduate
degree in nursing education at Co
lumbia University, when she met
DR.. A. G. Bakhtiar, young IRAN
ian physician practicing in New
York. They were married shortly
after.
Five years later, with two little
girls. the Bakhtiars set of for
Teheran "just for visit" They
stayed for 10 years.
Mrs. Bakhtiar's introduction to
Teheran was a droll experience.
1--WE got there about $3.50 in the
morning" she recalled. "My hus-
band left me and the children at
q caravan resting place outside the
city while he went to look up a
cousin who had rented a house for
us. When we got there, I was i'm
mediately pleased with the Persian
rugs and tapestries on the floor
and walls and the little tables set
all around the room, but since it
was so late and we were tired, I
said to him, This is all very nice.
but where are the bedrooms? His
astonished reply was: Didn't you
bring your bed? In Iran every one
carries his bedding with him. So
I just rolled up in blankets with
the children on either side of me
and slept on the floor that night" +"
The rest of Mrs. Bakhtiar's stay
in the Iranian capital was a happy
one, during which the other five
Bakhtiar children were born. The
