mrs. Anderson Says Europe.
Nov Is Facing Critical Time
BY 'lsobeIIe Shelton

This country'S first woman
Ambassador, Mrs. Eugene Ander-
son, is back, not too happy about
the state of the European world
where she has been stationed for
the past three years.
This is an extremely critical
time in Western Europe-much
more so than the many people
I have talked to here seem to
realize declared the native of
Redwing, Mimi. who was United
States Ambassador to Denmark
until last January.
Unfortunately. the Russian
peace offensive is making some
headway in Western Europe, {"
she said earnestly.
The fact that there have been
great political changes in the
United States and Russia at
about the same time has been
very unsettling to the Europe
ans" she added.
Ine former Ambassador places
no faith in the Russian peace
moves
"They are only maneuvers, in
tended to weaken and divide us, !"
she declared. "The tragedy is,
they are succeeding, to a certain
extent. Our only hope of sur
Vival is to maintain unity with
Western Europe and to maintain
our economic and military
strength.
Reds Aim to Dominate
II think I understand some
thing about worldwide commu-
nism," she added. II think it
is unalterably committed to
worldwide domination and con-
quest. I see this peace maneuver
largely as a reaction to our pol
icw of the last few years-the
NATO buildup and Korea. This

is an attempt to keep us from
finishing the job of unifying
Europe. It was well calculated
toward the time when the NATO
negotiations were quite close to
completion.
"The Soviets have made i'm
menSe mistakes in the last few
years. Our successes have been
enormous. The Soviets recog-
nize this SO now they are trying
a different approach"
Formerly an active supporter
Of Democratic candidates in
Minnesota, Mrs. Anderson
denied reports that she plans to
run for Congress or the Cover
norship in her home State.
II still am interested in poll
tics. but I have no plan to run
for Office" she declared.
She also denied reports that
she was considering joining the
Democratic National Commit
tee as vice-chairman. The post
creation of which has been men
toned by committee officials,
would be in addition to the vice
Craftsmanship now held by Mrs.
India Edwards.
Mrs. Anderson and her hus-
band John and their 15-year-old
son, Hans. have spent the last
two months visiting in various
Western European countries. Mr.
Anderson then returned to Den
mark to be present at the gradu-
alton Of their daughter Johanna
1S. from the Copenhagen gym
nasium.
/ Mrs. Anderson and Hans came
back to this country together
and the former envoy spent the

OF all the reams written
about Perle Mesta's corona
tion party in London, of all
the visual images chronicled
by friends who attended the
glittering affair, the sight that
gave Americans the biggest
kick was the picture of the
ultra -dignified statesman, Gen.
George c. Marshall, dancing
with sultry actress Lauren Ba-
call.
The dramatic finale of the
dinner seems to have been
overlooked in the reports.
There were three toasts. Perle
gave one to the Queen: Lord
Harcourt the ranking British
er at the dinner, offered one
to President Eisenhower, and
Joe Davies gave one to Perle.
That's nice company for any
hostess to keep.
AS is perfectly obvious from
the published and private ac-
counts of this much-talked-
about party, it was a major
triumph for the hostess.
Washingtonians can hardly
wait now to see what cooks
when the inimitable Mesta

again. Whereas Per1e brought
more noted Capital officials to
Newport a few summers ago
than Newport had ever seen
in one house before, and
brought more noted American
travellers to Luxembourg than
the little duchy was accus-
toned to, it is highly possible
now that she will be RESPONSE
BILE for a stream of European
royalty and British nobility
coming to Washington for un-
official visits. Whatever cooks,
it's bound to be new and in
teresting.
The former Cornelia Mayo,
who took back her maiden
name recently as Mrs. Corne-
liza Marcy Pendleton, left
Washington yesterday for the
West Coast where she will be
married. Her future husband
is Mr.. DeForest Grant, a re-
tired New York industrialist,
whose late wife was a close
friend. of Mrs. Pendleton's.
Their wedding will take place
next Wednesday in Bel Air,
Calf, and they will spend the
summer travelling on the West
Coast. possibly including a trip
to Hawaii They will come to
Washington next fall for visits
and will definitely be here dur

days, when Mrs. Pendleton
will present her granddaughter,
Patricia Pendleton Smith, to
Washington society at a din

the 30th. Pat is the daughter
of the late Virginia Mayo

tomorrow afternoon, the
first of the Vandenberg fare
we'll parties takes place. This
one will center around Gladys
Vandenberg only and it will be
far more than a mere feminine
tea in honor of the wife of the
retiring chief of the Air Force
staff. It will be a testimonial
party to the woman who con-
verted the Air Forces Wives
Club from a social bridge group
of less than 100, to a first-class
welfare organization of over
1000 members during her five
and one-half years as honorary
president.
Good-looking Mrs. Hoyt VAN
denberg has quietly and eff
GENTLY stirred up Air Force
wives in this country and at
bases all over the world to or
ganize and help their own.
Here are a few examples Of
what they have done here:
They have given $4,000 to Air
Force aid; $1,000 to the Arnold
Educational Fund; TV sets to
Walter Reed, chaises tongues
for amputees to Andrews Field
Hospital; a piano to the Air
mems Club; a new baptismal
fount for Boiling Chapel; help
to scores of dependents who
have help coming from no
other source: and they formed,
at Gladys instigation, the Ar
lington Committee which at
tends all Air Force funerals,
communicates with the near
est of kin and comforts the
bereaved. 1t is no wonder
that the club members will
present to Mrs. Vandenberg
tomorrow a handsome silver
tray in grateful remembrance.
Brig. Gen. and Mrs. Monro
MacCloskey will give a fare
we'll dinner for Gen. and Mrs.
Vandenberg on Friday. On

|Dinnicks Off
|On Summer
Expedition
By Doisy Sheridon

A wonderful summer is in store
for Mr.. and Mrs. John Dimick.
They plan to delve into the past
with the pleasant modern con-
venience Of a yacht.
Mr.. Dimick is a well-knoWn
archaeologist and this summer
hopes to uncover a positive trace
OF PleiStocene man in the area
around Lake Superior. This ex-
pedition is under the sponsor
ship of the anthropology mu-
scum of the University of Michi-
gan.
The reason for the yacht is
that the shore lines they will
explore are almost impossible to
reach by land. The party will
go from place to place along the
shore and go inland from there.
Mr.. Dimick recently spent
three years in Guatemala work.
ing on the restoration of the
Mayan tombs. He will be a
collaboration on this expedition,
working with men from the
university.
Mrs. Dimick and her daughter,
Miss Hilary Ann Hoover will
fly to Detroit on Friday where
they will be met by Mr.. Dimick,
They plan to be on their way
on Sunday or Monday. The
Dimicks will return eastward
the end of August.
Vivacious, Mrs. Dimick asked
one of the members of the group
just what their day would be
like. He said that they would
leave the boat early in the
morning and when they got on
land they would start their
search, walking probably about
three miles inland over rough
terrain. WELL" said this grand
mother of three. "at least that
answers one question I had
what kind of shoes to take"
Mrs. Dimick just received a
gay letter from her daughter.
Mrs. Roger Alan Neuhoff. the
former Miss Louise Reeve
Hoover. She is with her hus-
band stationed in Saipan and
of course most of her news is
about the newest addition to
the family, two-month-old Geof-
frey Houghton Neuhoff.
Another daughter, Miss Clara
H. Hoover plans a summer on
a ranch in Wyoming. She is a
student at Westover School,.
Middlebury, Conn.
The Dimicks leave behind
them their newly decorated Con-
necticut avenue apartment. They
sold their old Georgetown house
last winter and set to work do
ing their new abode over to the
queens taste.
Their living room is done in
lovely shades of pale gray, coral,
gold and a touch of Williams
burg blue. One of the most strik-
ing pieces in the room is a low
table in front of the sofa which
was designed by the master of
the house. 1t has a glass top and
the gold metal frame is of a
scalloped and triangular design.
