Secretary of the Navy Matthews
has been offered the job of AM
baSsador to Ireland by President
Truman twice within three days
and has refused it once. The
President made the second offer
because he couldn't believe that
his good friend and staunch sup
porter could have thought it over
sufficiently when he turned down
the only official job that he has
ever wanted in his life. The Sec
retary is celebrating now and
will make his decision when he
talks to the Chief Executive again
the latter part of the week.
Since Ambassador George Gar
rett has not only sent III his resig-
nation but has left the Dublin
scene, this delightful post on the
Emerald Isle filled with the horse
loving. pixie-minded, unpredicta-
BILE Irish, will have to be filled
soon. The CARROTS have gone to
Paris for a few days before sailing
for the United States June on
the America. :
If the Secretary decides not to
take the job that's closest to his
heart, it will be because he thinks
he can be of more help to the
President in his present position
He came to Washington to face
the most difficult of situations and
suffered a barrage of criticism
but Naval officers at the Pentagor
are now saying that he has won
their respect and affection. In his
quiet level-eyed way Mr.. Matthews
lsays that he has had this impor.
Itant axiom all his life: you car
get many more things done in life
if you never worry about who gets
the credit" He can say that with
out ostentation because he not

Occasionally a reader wants to
know: why wouldn't it be sim
pier to let the bridegroom's family
send their own invitations toI
their own list rather than to-
have us take their list and send
invitations to strangers? I mean,
of course, to let them put their
own names on the invitations
they send"
Since the family of the bride
are always the hosts Of the wed i
ding, the invitations are neces-
sarily issued in their names.
However where the families live
in different cities so that Their
lists are entirely separate. it is
not unheard of to send however

Dear Mrs. Post: When young
woman is going to big city at
the invitation of a man friend
who lives in a mems club there
isn't it proper for her to let him

lived with his family she would
be invited to stay with them.

really cannot pay her actual lodg.

every meal and he could pay for
all entertainment, but she must
pay for her room at the hotel.

but the wide veranda overlook
ing the garden. A bar and a
buffet table were on the veran-
da and a smaller bar was in
the hall while the dining table
was laden with the many deli
cacies distinctively Afghan. There
were platters of rice cooked
in their own special way, one
with lamb and another with
chicken and almonds. In addi-
tion there was roast turkey, sal
mon in jelly and vegetable and
chicken salads. Coffee ice cream
brought a touch of the United
States to the menu. On the
sideboard a large cake had a
colored reproduction of the At
ghanistan flag in it's icing.

Where people lynch their flesh and blood.

Acting by a voice vote at its
