Social Season

A lovely flower garden set the
motif for one of the outstanding
events of the social season - the
second annual Debutante and
Charity Ball sponsored by the
Phoenix Chapter of LINKS, and
held at the Masonic Temple Tues
day night.
The garden theme was beautiful
lv carried out amidst a background
of flowers, grass, lattice work with
climbing vines, and lawn furniture.
II was in this setting, through the
garden path, that nineteen lovely
debutantes wearing white fluffy
and frilly short formals, carrying
nosegays Of sweet peas and lace,
made their appearance. They were
met by their escorts who were
dOnned in white jackets and dark
trousers wearing red bOutonnieres,
and led to the front of the hall
where they formed a semicircle.
Here the bevy of lovelies were in
troduced to nearly 400 guests, by
Mrs. Robert Banks, chairman of
the ball.
After the presentation, Joe Grif-

in Paradise" to which the DebS

all.

torney, took the case to the
Municipal Court of Appeals,
which sent it back to the lower
court for a new trial. The APP
pellate court held that the Gov
eminent had failed to prove the
presence of narcotics in the Will
liams apartment.
Assistant United States At
torney E. Riley Casey then took
the matter to the U. S. Court Of
Appeals for the District Of Co
lumbia, which returned the case
to the Municipal Appellate
Court, saying the presence Of
narcotics equipment b the
apartment reasonably implied
the presence OF narcotics.
The Municipal Court Of APP
peals was then ordered to con-
slider points in Mr.. Mitchell's
case it had not previously gone
into.
That court then decided the
original prosecutor had COM

summation to the jury, and the
case again was referred to the
Municipal Court for another
trial.
Yesterday, after the jury had
been chosen, Williams changed
his plea to guilty.

That is, it could hold no more.
Letters sprung up, Of their own voli-

There was that letter he should have
answered two months ago. He had

about 1t.
Now it was too late to do anything
about the matter. It really didn't

very differently from what they in their
actual foundation are.
It Is difficult not to believe that
successful revolution against the French
government in any Of their three North
African countries would be the worst
possible thing for the average North
African of native stock. The average
native is in a far more secure position
under French rule than he would be
under that Of his own Caids. He is to-
day trembling with fear that the ex-
tremists of his own blood and faith will
gain control of his destiny. Many Of
the educated Tunisians, for example,
are today fleeing or preparing to flee
their country. They see that the French
government since the war protects in
adequately their brethren, themselves
and their French friends. They hear Of
sympathy with the terrorists across the
Atlantic. They realize the chaos their
land will be in II the extremists gain

Cautiously he opened one Of the

Hideyoshi's Treasure

Associated Press dispatches from Tokyo
tell Of prospective renewal OF the search
for the legendary treasure Of the so-called
Napoleon of Japan His real name was
Hideyoshi and, although his only important
title was that of Taiko, indicating only
minor status, he actually made himself the
master of practically the whole Nipponese
archipelago and then undertook the con-
quest of the mainland of Asia. His army Of
100000 men invaded Korea in May, 1892,
and harried that unhappy country until the
autumn of 1898. The ears Of $4,000 Of his
fallen foes were brought back to Kyoto to
prove the decisive character Of his victories,
but those triumphS came too late to be OF
value to the conqueror, who died soon after.
Hideyoshis treasure, however, certainly
did exist. Great wealth accrued to him not
only from his campaigns In Korea but from
his unification of Japan proper. A peasant
by birth and accustomed to poverty, he
enriched himself at the expense of lords
and abbots he reduced to submission. His
capture of Odawara Castle in 1890 brought
him the contents Of its adjacent Soun-jt
temple vaults. The palace which he erected
on Momoyama hill was rated "the grandest
ever built" its screens Of gold later adorn-
ing half the temples in Kyoto." Will Adams
reported the walls Of the castle at Osaka
guided with gold In abundance" With so
much precious metal around him, Hideyoshi
well may have possessed quantities Of It
in the form OF ingots and, fearing turbulence
following his demise, arranged for 1t to be
hidden In the ancient silver mine Of Tada.
This excavation still Is In much the same
condition as In the 10th century. Gold bars
secreted there by Hideyoshi's slaves might
be located by modern detecting machines
operating on the buzz" principle Of the
mine detector. Smithsonian Institution
scientists believe there is a chance that
such endeavors would be rewarding.
Perhaps the quest for the lost treasure
Of Japan's Napoleon his critical contem-
poraries derisively referred to him as Mon

enterprise. Korea, at least, would bs an

Planning in Nearby Virginia

Fairfax Countys move to adopt a mas
ter plan to guide the county in highway and
land-use development during the next quar-
ter Of a century comes none too soon. Airing

it valuable in controlling the orderly growth

lington prepared It's plan years earlier, some
OF the stresses and strains Of zoning, high
way extension and other problems of the
growing pains" sort could have been eased
or avoided. Right now Fairfax County is at
the threshold Of a new era Of growth that
will bring similar stresses and strains. A
guidebook for future development is badly
needed.
The McHugh recommendations to the
Board OF Supervisors are tentative and some
OF them are plainly controversial. But
start has been made toward community
wide discussion of master plan, and that
is all to the good Out of the Forthcoming
hearings and debate over proposed new ra-
dial highways, land-use zones and public

understanding of the futility of trying to
regulate the growth of Fairfax County with
out positive pattern of record. AS for high
ways, the planning should be done in con-
junction with highway officials of the State
and of the Federal and District govern
ments, since the county is an integral part
of the Washington Metropolitan Area. The
financing of any new highways in Fairfax
County remains major obstacle to regional
development of network of bridges and

Hiss and His Future

Now that he Is out of the Lewisburg
Federal Penitentiary after having paid the
penalty imposed upon him for perjury,
Alger Hiss is free man again, but he can
hardly rejoice much In that fact. For he
must face the unenviable kind of future
that thieving and murderous fellow convicts
have Just snatched away from William
Remington, who had been serving time in
the same place for the same sort of crime.
At best, the years ahead threaten to
be bleak for Alger Hiss. Theoretically,
under our system of law and justice, he has
made full legal amends to our society, and
he is entitled now to an opportunity to
rehabilitate himself But his is an even
more special case than Remington's. After
all, he once occupied high place of trust
and influence in our Government, and the
circumstances of his fall from that place
have set him apart uniquely, from the
average convicted felon. AS a result, for
the rest Of his days, he must live not only
with the fact that he can no longer enjoy
such privileges as the right to vote or hold
public Office, but also with the fact that
great numbers pf Americans probably will
W eye Il1IIl WIFI JIlG QGGpeSt SuS-
picion as a man whom public opinion has
found guilty of having committed crime
far worse than perjury.
Considering how Hiss has never ceased
to proclaim his innocence in all particulars,
considering also the limited nature of our
Governments prosecuting case against him,
such suspicion-the suspicion of treason
may be altogether unreasonable and unjust.
But the fact remains that 1t exists, right
or wrong. The fact remains that there Is
widespread American feeling that this
man should have been tried for having
betrayed his country to the Soviet Union,
and not merely for having perjured himself
In connection with charges accusing him Of
participation in Communist espionage
activities. Certainly, in these circumstances,
with his very name eQuated by some people
with that Of Benedict Arnold, he is likely
to have extremely hard going in any effort
to rehabilitate either his empty purse or his
ruined reputation. s8s I
In that sense, his release from jail has
not really ended the penalty imposed on
