Ell Salvador Ambassador and
Sonora de Castro gave a large
reception early last evening hon.
oring the newly appointed As
sistant Secretary of State for
Latin-American Affairs and Mrs.
John M. Cabot. The very popu-
lar CabotS are as pleased as
their friends here that his ap-
pointment as Ambassador to
Pakistan was changed and they
will stay here as members of the
Little Cabinet group. For that
reason there were few invited
from 6 to 8 o'clock last evening
who did not attend.
Another reason for a full at
tendance is that the Ambassador
and Sonora de Castro have been
on diplomatic posts in this Capt.
tai for enough years to almost
be permanent residents. They
came first when DR.. Castro was
appointed secretary of the lega-
ton and their two eldest chill
dren were very young. He has
served, through the years, as
counselor. minister and since
August 1945 has been AmbasSa-
dor.

Castro also is accredited.

lequericos Hosts
Spanish Ambassador and SEN
ora de Lequerica held open
house yesterday from 1890 until
2 for members of the embassy
staff and their families. It was
a celebration of their Saints day,
the Ambassador having been
chriStened Jose, Spanish for
Joseph, and his wife Josef1na,
the feminine for Joseph. The
Saints day to Spanish speaking
people is far more important to
them than their own birthday
days and thus the Ambassador
and Sonora de Lequerica cele-
brated with the members of the
staff and later entertained one
or more of the top ranking offici-
ais and diplomats at luncheon at
the embassy.
