United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear has called for an objective
and non-partisan approach to legis-
lative affairs during the new ses-
sion of Congress.
In statement from Washington
the Senator declared that the grave
responsibilities confronting the ma
ton today will never be solved if
our policies are torn with political
dissension and lack essential unity.
Mr.. Frear warned that the shrink

closer association with the peoples
of other lands. For all practical
purposes" he said, 1--WE are just
across the street from any other
nation on earth. AS a result, our
actions here are known and felt al
most Immediately by those --1o are

Senator Frear said that a hest

with other countries will gain us
little. Instead, he urged, a bold and
determined course of action bull

was top political adviser to Gen.
Macarthur, then to Gen. Ridg-

The Seabaids were brought
home from Japan in March, in
anticipation of the ending of
Allied occupation of Japan. Mr..
Seabald, a career foreign service
officer, was sworn in Friday as
United States Ambassador to
Burma.
Attractive brunette Mrs. Sea-
bald has given some thought to
the question of Communist in
fiuence in Japan. She has been
working for some time on a
novel which has that as its
theme.
"I expect there will be such
demonstrations, from time to
time" she says. Most of the
Japanese people are not too
attracted by Communism. It is
mainly the young students who
have been rioting. Most Of
them are very poor. They fig
ure they have nothing to lose"
But unhappily many people in
Japan are very poor, she added.

continuing danger there.

rate Is 800 to i. And the actual
rate is still higher"

Mr., Coolidge Tells Acheson Stories;
Mrs. Mesto Gets Two Months Leave
By Betty BeoIe

Charles Coolidge first appre-,

where the latter was older stu-
dent and his prefect. In those
days misbehavior was handled
in two ways. The prefect could
report you to the faculty super
visor or make you run four
miles. Coolidge said he ran eight
miles for Acheson.
When Perle Mesta sails via
the America on May IA for the
United States, she will be COM
ing here on accumulated home
leave. She's been entitled to
two months ever since last Sep
tember at the end of her first
two years of service as Minister
to Luxembourg. Her other trips
back were for consultation so
didn't count against her vaca-
tion allowance. She will come
to Washington. she says, while
the musical, Call Me Madam"
which she inspired. is still play
ing here. Since she will arrive
around the 21st and probably
have a week of consultation as
the State Department. her
leave will extend through June
and July when both Democratic
and Republican conventions will
be held and on up until the end

this business which has brought
him to this country frequently

do so annually in the future. No
one will believe him, he says,
but he actually has business In
Kentucky which is one reason
why he went to Louisville this

Interesting stories that point
up Secretary of State Acheson's
sense of humor were told the
other evening by his oldtime
Schoolmate at Groton, ASSis-
tant Secretary of Defense
Charles Coolidge. The latter, a
delightfully."- amusing person to
talk to. was a supper guest of
the Bill Fosters, along with Mrs.
Coolidge, the French Ambass-
ador and Nine. Bonnet and
Gen. and Mrs. John E. Hull.
The small gathering was in the
Deputy Secretary of DefenSe's
new Friendship" abode which
will be one of the coolest houses
in Washington this summer.
Their large living room that
opens out onto the garden has
an all-marble floor.
Mr.. Coolidge, one of the Re
publican Boston Coolidges. said
he came down here in March,
1851, as deputy to Tom Cabot of
Boston who headed the security
Office in the State Department,
later absorbed by the Mutual
Security Agency. Mr.. Cabot was
given a farewell luncheon be-
fore his departure at which time
he made a little speech about
how he certainly admired the
Democrats he had come in con-
tact with at the State Depart
ment. But he could not change
his vote. he said, because he was
a Republican, his father a Re-
publican, his grandfather Re-
publican, and so on.
Then Secretary Acheson got
on his feet and said that he was
reminded of a conversation a
friend Of his had with a taxi
driver. 1t was during the Roose-
velt-Landon campaign and his
friend asked the driver what his
political party was. The man
replied that he was a Republi-
can, his pappy was Republi-
can and his grandpappy a
Republican. WELL" said the
Secretary's friend. II guess you
will vote Republican then" II
don't know" pondered the driver
thoughtfully. Il was talking to
