Capital Candids-The Secre-
tary Of the Air Force and Mrs.
Tom Finletter have relinquished
their Twenty-second street
house to the owners. the Wayne
Chatfield-Ta and have
moved to the Mayflower. They'll
be there until their departure
for New York on the day of the
big change-January 20.
The Robert, van Roijens send
Christmas greetings and the
news that they will return to
Washington in July after two
years in Bad Homburg, Ger
many. Laura and Percy
Black have cards out for a
dance on January II.
Eligible Clayton Fritchey, who
was twirling lucky Aston
around at the Waltz Group
dance last week end, is boast
ing that he has stopped smok-
ing entirely and suddenly from
an addiction to three packs
daily. The Deputy Chairman
of the Democratic National
Committee is all ready to join
our brainchild. Tobacco Taboo,
Matt Jones, so move over and
make room for him as a charter
member. He thinks it's a swell
idea. Louise Heiberg says
she's working herself to death.
She has q chauffeur who won't
drive anymore, a butler who
doesn't like to serve, and a
chef who doesn't want to
cook. :.
A Long. Long Story
Peter Frelinghuysen, Harry
Frelinghuysen Of the State
Departments twin brother, who
is coming here as a new Repre-
sentative from New Jersey, is
the great, great, great grandson
of the Dutch dominic who
christened Betsy Schuyler who
married Alexander Hamilton
who is an ancestor Of Helen
Hamilton Woods whose historic
Georgetown house was sold last
week by Betty Charming to
Peter Frelinghuysen who's a
new Representative from New
Jersey-Whoops! that's where
you came in.
Did You Know?
That Soviet Ambassador
Georgi Zarubin is still technic-
ally Ambassador to Canada,
though the Canadian govern
ment would be astounded if he
tried to claim the post? Zarubin
was ambassador to Canada, in
stalled in the Soviet Embassy
in Ottawa, when the Canadian
spy trials took place and al
though he was exonerated by
the Canadian government of
any guilt. he left Canada i'm
mediately afterwards. Where
upon Dana Wilgress, Canada's
Ambassador to Moscow, also
faded from the Russian scene.
No letters of recall were ever
exchanged by the two govern
ments and no new ambassadors
were appointed to take their
places. Hence while here Zaru-
bin could use the Soviet EN-
bassy in Ottawa as a nice sum-
mer home-he could, that is,
if he could get a visa. It isn't
likely that Wilgress, now Can
ada'S Undersecretary of State,
would want to whip over to
Moscow for a warm weather re-
spite even if he could.
Christmas Greetings
The Egyptian Ambassador
and Nine. Rahim have sent
seasonal greetings with a photo
graph of something that will
become a familiar Washington
landmark. It's the minaret of
the new Washington Mosque
rising above the trees that line
Massachusetts, avenue "A
minaret amid the spires, symbol
of unity between Islam and
Christianity" Martha
(Rountree) and Oliver Pres
brey's card shows a Santa with
sleigh and reindeer entangled in
TV aerials. Martha, by the way,
says that Leave It To The
Girls" will go back on the tele-
ways in January for Chrysler
dealers. The most beauti-
full and artistic card comes from
Charles Alldredge, a superb re-
production of an early 10th CEN
