BY ANNA ROOSEVELT

individual. They are the ones who
run up to you. tap you on the arm,
and say all in one breath: Every
thing all right? Do you have every
thing you want? Fine!"-and tear
off before you've had time to do
more than open your mouth.
HERE is another kind of unre-
laxed hostess. This one is apt to
give parties which are planned to
the last detail" This is the sort
of party where she allows you no
freedom of action or enjoyment.
No sooner have you settled down
to an interesting conversation than
you are rushed off with the
announcement that you've talked
long enough to so-and-so. now you
must 60 and talk to so-and-so-else.
When it comes to relaxation,
the perfect host and hostess are
those who try to keep a weather
eye out for guests who are shy and
those who are strangers, making
them feel included and wanted.
Also they manage to give all
their guests the feeling that
they, too. are enjoying them
selves without a worry in the
world.
All of this undoubtedly gets
down to some human traits which
are awfully good to have. Some
people are born with them, others
acquire them. They are: the ability
to enjoy what you are doing at a
given moment, a liking for people,
an intuitive thoughtfulness for
others, and a manner which be-
speaks your own genuineness.

CT MURDERED my grandfather
i this morning!" A startling
statement. you might say. But in
this case it's a statement taken out
of context - from an old story
which my father once used to illus
trate a point.
His story came as a result of
those huge White House receptions
where the President and his wife
stand for two or three hours shak-
ing hands with a continuously
passing line of guests. As host and
hostess they wanted to make each
guest feel individually welcome.
So, besides a handshake, they
would try to say something pleas
ant = though often they could say
no more than, Its nice to see
you," since many guests were un-
known to them.
ONE evening while relaxing after
such a reception, Father reflected
that he didn't think it mattered
much what he or Mother said in
greeting. that the important thing
was the cordiality and sincerity of
manner accompanying the hand
shake. Then, out of the blue, he
said that he'd proved this to his
satisfaction that evening by
announcing to two of the passing
guests that he had murdered his
grandfather that morning, and

A New Low

DRESIDENT Humans relations
= with reporters at the White
House are at an all-time low.
The boys in the White House press
room, usually among his stanchest
friends, resent the frequent cracks
President has been making about
the press generally. And they don't
appreciate the bawling out they get
when asking simple questions at the
White House news conferences.
1t didn't get into the papers, but
Mr.. Truman, who returned from
Key West tired and crochety, al
most took two more digs at the re-
porters recently. First, he wanted
to lecture them for not emphasizing
that the list of war prisoners put
out by the Chinese Communists was
unverified and thus probably mac
understanding, incidentally, that
all reporters already had stressed.
He also wanted to bawl them out
for leaking the story that Judge
Tom Murphy of New York had
turned down the job of chief graft
investigator. However, the Presi-
dents press officers, led by able
Jos Short, convinced Mr.. Truman to
forget about it.

Propaganda Balloons

For instance, when this columnist
last spring urged sending propa-
ganda balloons behind the Iron Cur
tain, it was frowned on by military
advisers and by some State depart
ment officials. They feared violent
reaction in Moscow.
But when the Crusade for Free
dom was able to float balloons into
Czechoslovakia and Poland, the
freedom leaflets were mimeo-
graphed. tackled on telephone poles,
mailed anonymously to Communist
officials, and created such a Juror
that Communist newspapers, the
Czech prime minister and Radio
Moscow had to 60 into high gear to
reply.
Public opinion became so riled
inside Czechoslovakia that the Com
munists actually began looking for
some way to free APP correspondent
William Oats in order to turn off
the heat.
However, when similar balloon or
propaganda projects have been
urged for Hungary and other satel-
lite countries, an official wall Of
encouragement has been erected
by the pentagon and by some of the
more timid souls in the State depart
ment.
The reason is partly illustrated
by story told by Gen. Beaell
Smith, expert head of central in
telligence. who recounts a CONVEX
sation between Georges Dimitrov
and Stain.
Are you afraid of warp"
Stain was asked.
Eyes," replied Stain, "but
not as afraid as the West"
Nevertheless, there are plenty Of
progag anda steps that can be taken
with no danger of war Further
more. it remains fact that the law
of the jungle remains the law OF the
Kremlin. And wen US propa-
ganCa stirs the population Of Czecho-
slovak!a or Hungary to a boiling
point, the Kremlin is much more
likely to act with reason.

Inside Hungary

Final decision to pay the ransom
Of the four US. fliers in Hungary
was made only after significant
back-stage debate which goes to the
very root of American policy toward
Russian satellites.
Inside fact is that the Defense de-
partment, not the State department,
made the decision to put up the
ransom money-for two reasons:
l. The four air force mer were
official representatives of the Unit
ed States and specifically of the De-
tense department.
2. The joint chiefs of staff SHE'D
away from any threat of retaliation
for fear Hungary might call our
bluff.
This latter point gets down to
the root problem of whether it
Is wise to provoke the Soviet. It
has come up time after time in
the past, and the joint chiefs of
staff always shy away from any
showdown. In general, SO does
the State department.
This was the issue involved in

territory beyond the Yalu river. 1t
has also been involved in much
milder matters in the cold war.

Three Little Girls
Spree With $3.50
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON. Oct. 21.-Three little
maids from school went out on a
weekend spree with 100 pounds
($28O in their pockets and an
itch to see the bright lights OF
Southend, London's Coney Island.
The trio-Ann. 13; Christine
II, and Kay, 10-were back home
in tears today. And all because,
like most little girls at one time
or another. they forgot to wash
their faces.
A reception clerk noticed their
dirty visageS and lack of luggage
when they tried to check in at a
Southend hotel. He told police.
The police asked lot of questions
and returned them to their wor-
ried parents.
The spree began on Saturday,
when the youngsters met on a
street corner and gaily set out
with the 100 pounds Kay had
taken from her parents house.
When the fling ended abruptly
there were 81 pounds ($187. .6O)
left-and a bag full of dresses,
nylon stockings. perfume and
cigarettes to show for it.

The study will be based on some

the X-ray Of pollen. Rather than
normal seeds with a single embryo,

It will involve study of correla-
