AdIoi and Margaret
Share the Spotlight
By Fronces lide


Two of the Democratic Par
tvs most popular personalities
provided a double feature at a
tea yesterday at the Woman's
National Democratic Club.
1t all started as a tea honor
ing Margaret Truman and a
surprise appearance by Adlai
E. Stevenson made it an event
that will go down in the clubs
history.
Miss Truman's presence. OF
course, was enough to assure
a capacity turnout at the
clubhouse on New Hampshire
avenue NV. Reservations were
stopped at 500, but Roland
Tolson, the white coated door
man. counted almost 900 be-
fore he had to leave his sta
ton for other duties.
Word that the Democratic
Party's standard bearer Of
1852 was in town circulated
shortly after guests started
arriving at 4 o'clock and vir-
tually all of the 600 or more
decided to remain on the
chance Mr.. Stevenson would
show UP at the party.
At 5:25 pm. they were
rewarded.
Cheers and handclapping
announced his arrival as the
former Illinois Governor
headed for the receiving line,
alternately shaking hands
with friends and nervously
touching his tie en- route.
"Well. I'm glad you showed
up!" Miss Truman exclaimed
as she held out her hand in
greeting. What else was said
was lost in the confusion as
photographers and guests
swarmed toward the receiving
line.
Stevenson Meets Press
MIR. Stevenson, who was ad-
mitted to practice before the
Supreme Court earlier in the
day, made his way slowly
through the crowd in the
dining room and then was
whisked upstairs for a brief
press conference.

about his luncheon with House
Speaker Sam Rayburn at the
Capitol.

talk about 1852"
mo, l don't think 1t was
mentioned" Mr.. Stevenson an
swered with q grin.
But mention was made Of the
Democratic Party, he conceded,
and it was all very favorable.
Were both for it," he said.
The state Of legislation,
Democratic cor1imitteeships
and Formosa also came up, he
elaborated.

Nations business" he added.
Questioned about a news
story that he would be a can
didate to succeed Senator Dirk
sen, Republican. of Illinois. in
1856, he said he had read it.
Pressed on the point. however,
he declared, cit was news to
me-"
Mr.. Stevenson ended the
conference by introducing his
son Borden, who accompanied
his father to the tea but was
almost lost in the crowd.
That's my boy Borden" he
said fondly. He's in the Army
he's a soldier"

desks and shouted "Peron!
Peron!" Outside several hundred
Catholic youths paraded toward
the capitol, chorusing "Argen-
tina is Catholic" and Long live
Christ the King" until police dis
persed them.
Earlier in the evening thou
sands of Catholics packed the
metropolitan cathedral and 70
other churches in Buenos Aires
