Easter hostess Gwen Ca
fritz says this coming Sundays
at home may be the last such
type party she will give on
Easter. She's toying with the
idea. she says, Of giving Easter
luncheonS from here on in.
IF she does she will have taken
as her model the late Evalyn
Walsh Mclean Of Strike It
Rich" and Hope diamond
fame.
Mrs. McLean's was the place
to go on Easter and it's a good
thing those luncheonS always
fell on Sunday. On a week
day there would have been
nobody left to run the Govern
ment.
All in all this looks like a
quiet and sane Easter in Wash
ington. The D. A. RS. bless
their well-meaning, be-rib-
boned hearts, arrive this week
end, but not even their con-
siderable numbers can swell
Connecticut avenue traffic to
the proportions it reached last
year. 1t got so out Of hand
and freakiSh that the Con-
necticut avenue parade has
been cancelled apparently for
good. The prize awarding is
over. Among the 100000 pa
raiders. it drew such bizarre
lids as a live skunk in a trans
parent cake box poised on a
girls head. It's hard to see
what that had to do with
the true meaning Of Easter.
So this Sunday for the first
time in years. when WASH
ingtonians spill out of their
filled-to-b o-brimming churches,
they can walk with pleasure
and untrampled leisure up
the avenue admiring each 9TH
er's costumes.
Not even the c. ]. Mack's
annual Mayflower brunch will
be held this Sunday because
of the Revolutionary Daugh-
ters' presence. The date Of
Paul Revere's ride is what an
nually impells the Daughters
"to horse" and to head for
Washington, and of course
that only, occasionally COIN
.cides with Easter.
In the afternoon the Ralph
GardnerS' party will run COM
petition with the Cafritzes'
and vice versa. Otherwise, all
will be quiet on the home
front.

away from him. This man
GeorgeScu had put the Rcran-

that Russia could use them
"Mr. Vishinsky disclaimed any

that he could look it up. I sug-

Our eyes are SO very important

gorgeous view of the world and
such heart-warming pictures of
those we love and of the great
panorama of human activity.

harder, to lose sight of the
beauty of nature or the play
of expression humor. love

one.
Yet we abuse our eyes con-
stantly. Direction about eye
care is one of those things we
know must be true but very
often disregard 1t just seems SO
easy to slump in an easy chair
or lie on the floor and read in
inadequate lighting, that We can
not, at the moment. believe that
it will actually do anything bad
to our orbs. 1t is like making our
selves stop at railroad crossings,
1t is such a temptation to look
up and down the railroad quickly
even though we cannot see far
ahead, without stopping.
There is no doubt that many
people injure their eyes with in
adequate lighting. This may &C
tually damage the eyes SO that
glasses will be necessary when
you might have avoided the use
of them. Anyway, it causes eye
strain which leads to chronic
fatigue and to headaches.
Here are few rules which

Speakers Hit
New Proposal
orTerritories
By Ruth Deem

A former Governor of Hawaii
and the Delegate from Alaska
both expressed vigorous objec-
ton yesterday to the legislative
proposal which would give the
two territories commonwealth
status as a substitute for state
hood.
Speaking for the majority
of the people of Alaska. we want
none of it." Delegate E. L. Bart
lett declared at a Woman'S Ma
tional Democratic Club luncheon.
In the same vein, former Gov
ernor Oren Long Of Hawaii as
serted: "AS far as taxes are con-
cerned, we're not for SALE"
Mr.. Long and Mr.. Bartlett
shared the program with Joseph
R. Harrington, delegate from
Hawaii. at the luncheon which
honored the territories of Alaska
and Hawaii. The former Gov
ernor of Alaska, Ernest Gruen-
ing, was also head-table guest
but did not speak.
Mr.. Longs alluSion to taxes
referred to the provision in the
commonwealth status bill which
would relieve the territories from
Federal income taxes, an exemp-
ton now accorded Puerto Rico.
Delegate Bartlett declared that
the situation in Puerto Rico is
very different from that of Alas
ka and Hawaii.
Alaska is a typical Western
territory and needs statehood to
progress. as American history has
proven in the case of other West
ern territories admitted to state
hood" he maintained.
Alaska and Hawaii are inte-
grail parts of the Union. If we
were to become a commonwealth,
it would be political step back
ward"
Echoing the same sentiments.
former Governor Long declared.
We're all for statehood We will
not accept any substitute for
statehood. The commonwealth
setup belongs to other nations.
We wouldn't accept it even if
We didn't have taxes.
There is one thing we want
the privilege and obligation re-
lating to taxes that is placed on
all the other citizens of the
United States. AS far as taxes
are concerned, we're not for sale"
Delegate harrington declared
that the admission of Hawaii
to statehood involves the future
of this country and the whole
range Of our Pacific policy"
He added the admission of
Hawaii would bring representa-
tives to Congress who would
have "a sense of the Importance
of the Pacific to our future and
the people of the Far East that
We need so badly in our fight
on communism.
The wives Of the speakers
were also head-table guests. Mrs.
Gruening was chairman of the
program.
Luncheon guests had a chance
to see how the American flag
would look with the addition of
Hawaii and Alaska as new States.
Hung over the head table was
an emblem, with six rows of
seven stars and the seventh
row with eight.
