Walsh Home Is Scene Of ndoneson Independence D Fefe

HighIight the
Entertainment
By Betty BeoIe

In the house that once rang
with the laughter and hubbub
of the lavish parties given by
Evalyn Walsh McLean's parents,
the representatives Of the dis
tant country of Indonesia yester-
day celebrated their independ-
ence.
Such unrelated facts are con-
stantly being focused in WASH
ington. The private palaces of
yesteryear are the embassies and
chanceries of today. and there
is no connection between the
one and the other. In this case,
the old Walsh home is the
chancery of the newly independ-
ent country of Indonesia and to
say this is one of the more
ornate settings for Office work
in Washington is an understate-
ment.
No Office furniture marred the
scene last evening as the salmon
walls framed in flamboyantly
carved ivory and gold woodwork
looked down on the ornately
gowned dancers of Bali and Java.
Because the guests of AM
bassador and Nine. Notowidigdo
(take your time. you can pro-
nounce IT'D knew something
different was coming up, they
didn't slip into the reception on
the double and duck out as is
so customary in this rushed
village. They arrived in droves
at z and they stayed.
They were aided and abetted
in their motive to remain by
the spirits that flowed, including
French champagne. and by
buffet table that literally groaned
under huge dishes of hot currled
lamb, hot curried beef, noun
tains of rice, some unpronounce-
able Indonesian dishes, turkeys,
ham. fresh pineapple, mountains
Of ice cream and a big cake with
the red and white Indonesian
flag ripping in icing. From The
looks Of the line that was al
ways packed around this table,
you could tell there's nothing
wrong with the appetites of
Washington residents.
Dancers Foscinate
There was also nothing wrong
with the Indonesian dancing
which is intriguing to an Occi-
dental, to say nothing of what
1t does to an Oriental. The first
one to dance was Sumarti, the
23-year-old sister of the Indo-
nesian Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs Sunarjo and also the sister
of Nine. Surjotjondro, the wife
OF the new counselor at the EN-

did a Javanese dance with its
slow movements, strange head
motions and angular arm pos
lures. To the Westerners' sur
prise, sometimes the motion was
barely perceptible, it was simply
suspended grace.
On the other hand, Devi Wani,
who formerly starred with the
Indonesian dance group of Devi
Dja and is now Nine. Soekoro
Of the embassy, did a fast Bali
nese dance. More comprehensive
to the Westerner, it involved
much body motion, an occasional
shimmy and a naughty rolling of
the eyes that had special charm
because it was so stylized. The

He pointed out that the fatal

he said, elras must be sprayed
thoroughly with DDT twice q
year to kill the beetles two
broods-in early summer and
late summer.
And, DR.. Jeffers said. the
spraying must cover the elm's
new twigs. upon which the
beetles feed.
Dutch elm disease has done
much damage. he declared. in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties and has been found
even in Southern Maryland.
The elm leaf beetles. he said,
have not been particularly trout
| blesome.
Hundreds Of Oaks Dying.
DR.. Jeffers also said there are
hundreds of dying oak trees in
the Washington area. In 80 per
cent of the cases. he declared,
this is not caused by disease,
but because the trees environ
/ ment is changing from forest
land into suburban real estate de-
velopments.
He said that no, oak wilt dis
ease, found in 20 States and in
the three western counties Of
Maryland, has been found in
this area.
Most oaks are dying, he said,
because the underground water
table has been disturbed by In
stallation of paved streets and
sewers, and because leaf mulch
around the trees has been
cleared away.
Builders Smother Roots.
Another reason, DR.. ~Jeffers
declared, Is because builders

Many dogwood trees, which

In unshaded yards, he said.
| He suggested, however, that
weakened trees can be helped
by putting fertilizer into holes
poked into the ground around
the trees-as far out as the
branches spread--in February or
March. He said 2 pounds of
ordinary fertilizers should be

One blight, he declared, has

Harding said.
Because of the drought. he
added. half a dozen minor elm

the Parks agency kept some 20

The onslaught Of Dutch elm

the condition will become worse
over the next three years.
DR.. Plum, who surveyed the
Fairfax County area last month,
said the county does not have a
Dutch elm control program like
that in the District.
Additional damage to elms is
being done by elm leaf beetles
which eat away the underside Of
leaves and leave the rest Of the
