she said, advising him that she
would ring him back as soon
as she could put the call
through. Twenty minutes later
the phone rang. The waiting
negotiator grabbed it eagerly. To
his astonishment the voice on
the other end of the line had a
very familiar ring. He had Mrs.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt on
the phone!
A group of Latin American
ambassadors were chatting the

Orphonoge Benefits
From Garden Party

Garden paths which once

Justice Marshall and Chief
Justice Story will be open to
hundreds of visitors on Friday,
during the garden party for st.
Johns Orphanage, which is be-
ing held in the garden of Mrs.
Robert Low Bacon at 1901 F

The Bacon house was built in
1901 and was first used as a
boarding house. During the
early days of our Nations cap
ital, the members of the Su-
preme Court used to come up
to Washington for the winter
term of court and leave their
families behind. For that rea-
son there were many boarding
houses scattered from Swami
poodle to the Capitol. Eighteen
hundred and one F street not
only housed Chief Justices Mar
shall and Story, but was the
scene of dinner every Sunday
for all the justices. Among
the former owners were Tex
Ringold, Gov. Sprigg of Virginia,
and the Countess of Yarmouth.
The garden party will take
place from 4 until Z o'clock.

Enos Slaughter in his prime over
either Of these famous sluggers.
Slaughter. an outfield teammate
of Musial, will be So next month
and is in his 18th year with the
st. Louis Cardinals.
Slaughter in his prime was a
better ball player than Musial is
today" Sawyer said. "And !
agree with those who think Stan
is the best in the game right now.
But I've never seen q greater
competitor, a fellow with more
spirit, hustle and the desire to
win than EnoS.
Competition Tougher.
Slaughter's batting marks in
the late 1930s and early '40s may
not have been as high as those
that Musial compiled in the last
