the entire time. :. That's be-

DR.. LIerus
AtDinner
By Bee WoIsh

Dinners and receptions were
being held all over the city last
night, and one Of the lOvelier
was the dinner given by the
Chairman Of the Council Of the
Organization of American States.
DR.. Hector David Castro, Am
bassador from El Salvador. and
the members of the o. A. S.. in
honor of the retiring Secretary
General and Mrs. Lleras, at the
Pan American Union.
The dinner marked the first
time in the history of the Union
that the entire council has at
tended q dinner there.
AS guests entered the build
ing, their first glimpse was Of
one Of the beauty spots Of Wash
ington-the Patio with its tropi-
cal trees. including banana, cof-
fee, yerba mate and fan-Shaped
palms, Illuminated with soft
green lights. The large glass
roof had been rolled back for
the evening, further adding to
the tropical feeling, and the
sparkling fountain in the center
of the courtyard gave the feel
ing of GOODNESS.
The Ambassadors of Latin and
South American countries and
their wives. members of the
Council, and other guests then
proceeded up the twin Stairways
to the second floor Hall Of Flags.
Here. cocktails and hors d'oeuvres
were served preceding the dinner.
At 8:45, the heavy plush red
draperies into the stately Hall Of
the Americas were opened, and
guests assembled at dinner. The
three chandeliers of the room
lighted a huge urn which con-
tanned hundreds of flowers. some
Of them flown from the Philip
pines and California.
The horseshoe table. soft.
long, filled the Hall of Americas.
and 40 bowls of Shasta daisies
were arranged on it. The chande-
liers. wall sconces and candelabra
on the tables provided a soft
light for rock crystal glassware
and English bone china bordered
in gold on which the delightful
dinner was served.
The chairman, DR.. Castro,
made a short speech commend
ing DR.. Lleras for his services, to
which DR.. Lleras responded
briefly. The chairman also pre-
sented DR.. Lleras with a large
silver tray, specially made in
Mexico, which bore the sigma
lures of each of the 81 Ambas-
sailors.
After the speeches and pre-
Sentation, guests retired to the
Aztec Garden for coffee and Ii
querS.
Ambassadors to the United
States at the dinner included the
Argentine Ambassador and Sen
ora de PaZ;; the Bolivian Ambas-
sador. and Sonora de Andrade;
the Chilean Ambassador and
Sonora de lara: the Colombian
Ambassador and Sonora de zu-
leta; the Ambassador of Haiti
and Nine. Leger; the Ambass-
ador of Mexico and Sonora de
Tello: the Peruvian Ambassador

Chief of Protocol John Farr
Simmons apparently is des-
tined to remain on the Capital
scene in his current capacity.
With a little over two months
to complete his four-year term
here-the maximum home stay
for a foreign service officer
the question as to who would
succeed him has been a mat
ter of considerable conjecture
of late. It was hoped that
whoever did would be as Suc-A
ceSsful and popular as Jack.
Now it looks as If Mr.. Sim
mons will succeed himself. At
least the State Department has
asked him to stay on for an
indefinite period and the Sim
monses are not anxious to
leave Washington. Although
the matters not ironed out
yet, it seems more than likely
that he will continue to run
the protocol picture in this
capital of the world.
Secretary of Defense and
Mrs. Wilson were among the
last six or eight guests to
leave the 6-to-8 reception
given by the Portuguese Am
baSsador and Senhora de Es-
teves Fernandes yesterday to
celebrate their National Day.
At $3.50 they were still sitting
in the small, air-cooled room
off the dining room-probably
the coolest spot in Washing
ton yesterday. It was maids
night out so there was no need
for the cabinet member and
former auto tycoon to rush
home to a prepared dinner.
Mrs. Wilson said she was go
ing to fix her husband some
scrambled eggs and ham when
they got home, and he couldn't

IF there's anything to this
reincarnation thing I'm going to
spend my next life being a. cling

The wife Of the counsel for
the special committee investigat-
ing the Army-McCarth row
says she's getting a little tired of
attending to all the details of
life just because she has a
reputation for getting them
done.
Somebody is always saying,
oh. let Eve do it. she's so eff
Gent" she says morosely. 1.-THE
truth is, I'm lazy. I like to get
things organized in order to save
myself work."
They say it takes a lazy per-
son to use his head to save his
heels" she added with a grin.

AS a matter of fact, it's just
as well that Ray Jenkins married
a woman. who can cope with life's
petty problems. like leaky fau-
Gets and broken light plugs. For

be bothered with such trivia.
Ray is not the manual type"
his wife declares automatically.
II think so often men who work
with their brains are not.
Unfortunately, I am. My
father (the late DR.. Walter
Starnes Nash, prominent Knox
vile Surgeon) had a strong con-
viction that women should be
able to take care of themselves
and cope with any problem. I
was an only child, and he made
practically a career out of train
ing me.
Even when I was a young
girl, when mother and I would
go to New York, he would make
me handle all the details of
the reservations. He sent me
through college columbia Uni
versity Teachers College) when
not too many Southern girls were
getting a college education.
I've been coping ever since.

me on how nice I had kept the

I've been taking care of it all
these years.

of the time during the McCar-

in % years of marriage she has

"He never wanted me in the
courtroom. He doesn't think a
