Scene IS I on1iIior
To New Counselor

Mime. Bonnet has made the
interior what it is today. Mime.
de Laboulaye was handicapped
for funds. more so than Mime.
Bonnet. And things were not
going well at home during the
latter portion of the de La
boulaye regime. Charming
Nine. de Laboulaye died sew
eral years ago.
The new Counselor and
Nine. de Laboulaye have taken
the house at 2709 Thirty
fourth place and are getting
settled there. He formerly was
counselor of his country's Dip
lomatic mission in Ottawa and
the older daughter. Helen has
remained in school there. Ru-
dolf. the l4-year-old son. Is
in school in France. The other
daughter is here with her par
entS.
At the Voticon
Mr.. de Laboulaye's sister,
Marie Therese, now Nine. de
Margerie, wife of the chief of
Frances war mission in Ber-
lin, is well remembered in
Washington where she grew to
young ladyhood. She was here
again not too many years ago
when Mr.. de Margerie was
counselor of the Embassy for
some time. He was transferred
from here to be counselor of
the mission at the Vatican.
The de Margeries have six
children, the youngest, a
daughter born in Berlin re-
Gently. There are four boys in
the family and the youngest
is the second girl.
The other daughter of for
mer Ambassador de Labou-
laye, Agnes is married to
Count Rouge and lives in
France. She is the youngest in
the family and was still in
school when the family re-
turned to their native land.
When the de Laboulayes
purchased the Hammond
house it was to get away from
the rush of traffic on 10th
street. France owned property

for our living room which COW
ers most of the areas not COW

feel it will be much more sat

I'd like also to suggest to
owners of scatter rugs that
they get one of the rug pads
made of foam rubber. We have
a boxer dog Selected with the
help Of RICH, remember?) who
loves to gallop through our
front hall and the scatter rugs
would literally be in a pile by
the time he'd dash through a
couple of times. Now he may
muss the top of them a bit. but
they stay put. We bought the
less expensive type which is
covered with something that
looks a little like crumpled
paper.

CARPETING ADVICE.

mrs. C. B. D., Chevy Chase
In answer to a recent inquiry
in regard to carpeting a home
don't! We are in the proc
ess of being exterminated" for
buffalo moths and it's expen-
sive, unpleasant and time con-
Stunning, not to mention nerve
wracking, wondering if the
moths will eat up that new
dress before that Closet is
sprayed.
I don't say that carpets are
the cause Of having buffalo
moths, but around the edges
is certainly a choice spot for
them to breed. And you dis
cover them after they've begun
to chew. Our carpet is at the
cleaners now and when we get
it back we'll have it cut in
similar shape to our hall, but
1t will be free from the wall
and will be able to be rolled
back for more thorough
cleaning. Perhaps our carpet
should have been cleaned
sooner, but try. taking one up
and you'll have another good
reason for buying a rug.
We have Just bought a rug

French Republic before the

where now his son Stanislav
Is q student.
Former Ambassador de La
boulaye also worked his way
up the line at the Embassy
here. serving as secretary then
counselor and coming back as
Ambassador. He was q diplo-
mat Of the old school, follow
ing much of the def diplomacy
of that famous Ambassador
Jules j. Jusserand who repre-
scented his country in Wash
ington for Is years. The JUS
>serands came to the Embassy
when 1t was at 1910 Rhode
Island avenue. They pur-
chased the house on Sixteenth
street at Kalorama road. That
house was built by Mrs. John
B. Henderson, who attempted
to make Meridian Hill. Six
tenth street especially, "em-
bassy row." She it was who
built many of the imposing
residences such as the Span
ish Embassy and persuaded
other countries, Cuba, Italy
and Poland, to build their en-
bassies there. Some of them
she built for them.
Purchased Embassy
1t was the de Laboulayes
, who succeeded in getting their
government to purchase the
present embassy on Kalorama
road. The house was built by
the John Hays Hammonds, he
OF South African diamond
mine wealth. The de Labou-
layes were the first to occupy
this Embassy.

on S street where q new build
ing had been planned. But in
1885 when Germany also pur-
chased ground on S street it
was decided to buy the Ham
mond property with ground
adjoining to the west where
someday a chancery may be
built or a garden further de-
veloped. The house always has
been the scene Of much en-
PERTAINING for the Hammonds
had great wealth and cultiva-
ton and their guests were Of

cially. officially and artisti-
cally. The Ambassador and
Nine. Bonnet have carried on
those traditions as the de La
boulayes did before them,
though, their parties were not
so large and much less lavish.
The new counselor Of EN-
bassy is expected to continue
in his fathers footsteps ~
some day return to Washing

HOMEWORK VS.. T.V.

t4hfc. n' w. DB w uSfILtyLOHI
To Mrs. c. S. NJ, Manassas:
Most teen-agers are reasonable
when approached with tact
and logic. Allow her to watch
TV while she's doing her les
sons unless you find her marks
suffer, but explain in a nice
way so she won't be resentful.
1t does help to take the grind
away from homework if she
can be pleasantly distracted
during that time-even for the
duration of a whole program,
or more. She is old enough to
learn to be responsible for
herself for her homework. Talk
1t over with her teachers and
learn their reactions.

DINING ROOM TABLE

MRS. E. A. S.. KenSingtonD
For Mrs. j. S., Alexandria:
I have an oval dining room
table and although I think 1t
more attractive than the ira
ditional type, 1 find it less
practical.
First, I could not find a
ready-made table protector so
had to have one made my
self. which isn't too salts
factory.
Tablecloths are harder to
fit and do not hang as we'll.
Most important of all is the
space lost by the oval shape
that you would otherwise have
If your table had squared ends.
My next table will certainly
have a rectangular shape.

FROsTING RECIPE?

MTS. u. n. M =, 6etHeSu0I
I would like very much to
have a recipe for frosting such
as was used for the ginger
bread houses" at the Corcoran
Gallery of Art Greens Exhibi-
ton. l understand some houses
are made using a box for the
base rather than a cookie
recipe. I'd like to make one
this Christmas for my chill
dren and would really appre-
ciate some instructions, al
though I can improvise, I
think. if I know the formula"
which would not crack of.
Thanks so much.

Eureka, Libby Invade Local Court

Columbia Falls has a two-game
weekend on the home floor this
Friday and Saturday.
The Wildcats play Eureka, Fri
day at pm, and Libby, Satur-
day at pm. There will be pre-
liminaries between the B teams at
Z.
Both the visiting teams are un-
defeated so far this season, while
Columbia Falls has a one and two
record: win over Bigfork 1929
and losses to Poison 55-40 and
Anaconda Central 63-46.
Libby last weekend defeated
Whitefish 49-40 and Plains $3.50
while Eureka won over Troy g.
54 and Fernie $3.50. Eureka top
ped Bigfork 46-45 Dec. 4.
Coach Bud Beagle has been US
ing Allan Hamilton 6'1" senior at
guard, and is now putting him
back at forward, the position he
played last year. Hamilton is ex-
pected to bolster the Wildcats
strength at the blackboard, where
they were weak in the Anaconda
Central game.
Jim Kruse, another senior and
transfer from Bigfork, may be-
come a starter in the guard posi-
ton.
Columbia Falls starting lineup
apparently is to be Hamilton at
left forward; Patterson at right
forward; Carey at center with
Crandall and Kruse, guards. Pat
terson is 6'2 and Carey 6'5. There
is good height factor and the sea-
son has just started.
Last year Columbia Falls tied
with Poison and Roman for second
in conference play with Whitefish
in first place. The Wildcats were
tops in the conference during De-
cember, and then lost games in
late January and February.
The Wildcats played fairly good
ball during the first quarter of the
Poison game leading 1913, and
then fell apart under full court
press. Poison was all over the
Falls players though the half end
ed 21-20 in favor of Columbia
Falls.
Columbia Falls went to pieces in
the last half. They couldn't score
even from the free throw line.
The local boys showed some
what better against Anaconda
Central, but the Wildcats were
completely outclassed at the back
board. When Hamilton was shift
ed from guard to forward in the
last half, the situation improved
somewhat.
Crandall and Patterson were in
good form. Arvish, 6'5 Anaconda
center was the standout player,
with good scoring ability.
Other western Montana games
last weekend saw Whitefish defeat
Roman $3.50; st. Ignatius top An
aconda Central in Missions crack
erbox gym 1884, and Poison take
Hamilton 1894.
Flathead beat Anaconda 48 to
Al for their first cage win of the
season having lost to Bozeman,
Livingston and Butte Central.
Coach L. w. McNeirs B team
played the Poison B team in the
preliminary there last Friday
coming from behind from % to 10
to lose by points, 40 to SO.
Preliminary before the Anacon-
da Central game saw Coach Ralph
Barnaby's grade school Kittens de-
feat Bigfork grade school AZ to
II.
Arvish was high scorer Saturday
with % for Anaconda Central and
Hillman made Is for Poison. Ham
ilton had IL points against Ana
conda and 13 in the Poison game
for high score in the Wildcat to-
tails.

Family-size farmers are forced
to compete with what in this
country is called pauper labor,
despite a national tariff policy
designed In part to protect
American workers against
such labor. Americas own
migrant labor cannot or will
not accept the wages and the
working and living conditions
endured by the imported Mex
leans. with the result that
thousands are now reported
unemployed.
AFL President George
Meany declared at a White
House conference that there
is now a surplus Of American
farm workers available for the
jobs being given the Mexicans
in California and Texas-al-
though not at the same wages.
He asked that the Labor De I.
partment be required to make
an independent investigation
to determine whether the la
Dor shortage claimed by the
big ranchers actually exists.
He obtained instead the pres
ent legislation, not yet signed
by the President. who q few
years ago was severely critical
Of the manner in which the
wetback problem was being
handled

Many Members Of Congress in Both Parties Complain

and materiel is likely to change
the French public opinion on
which depends the life of the
Paris governments.
This attitude on the part
Of our French ally is UNDER
Standable since the French are
interested solely in their own
position in Europe and Africa.
They have no particular in
terest in the global meaning Of
Southeast Asia falling into
Communist hands. To us the
Far East has become at least
as important as the areas
across the Atlantic. Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Secre-
tary Dulles have not minced
words since the summer Of
1852 in making this plain to
the American people. And they
have made their position
equally clear in regard to Com
munist China entering the
q. N.
But while the Secretary's
attitude toward the Far East
has not been changed, Mr..
Dulles supporters in the SEN
ate and House feel his agree
ment to go to Geneva is threat
ening our basic Far Eastern
policies.
The loss Of reputation as a
hardened horse trader has
damaged Mr.. Dulles prestige
with congressional leaders.
There have been in the past
some whispered complaints
that he is too much ION the
go" and that when in Wash
ingon he pays only casual
attention to the administrative
problems Of his department.
In the last few years the
State Department has been
the target of unprecedented
criticism by Republicans in
side and outside of Congress
a criticism In which conserva-
tive Democrats joined. When
Mr.. Dulles accepted his pres
ent Office he was urged by
his many supporters in the
Senate and House to do a
thorough clean up job. There
has been some quiet criticism
In the last few months that
he left the administration en-
tirely to his Subordinates.

policy Of massive retaliation"
which is supposed to replace
containment Of communism
but. generally speaking, the
downward economic trend is
the issue the candidates ex-
pect to ride.
There is, however, in pros
pect a concrete follow-up to
Stevenson's concern about the
new defense. Senator Mans
field has secured a promise
from Chairman Wiley of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee that both Mr.. Dulles
and Defense Secretary Wilson
will appear this month before
the committee to answer ques-
tons about 1t.
The hearing will take place
before the Secretary of State
leaves for conferences in
Europe on NATO and Indo-
China. Efforts will be made to
throw it open to the public.
Washington is filled with
gloomy reports about French
intentions with respect to
ndo-China; many believe that
France will insist upon a truce
in the Korean pattern. Any
such developments would
thrust foreign policy into the
fall campaign for such use as
the candidates could square
with their consciences and
their knowledge Of the awful
difficulties Of the postwar
world.
