Does White Sulphur Porley
Mark Trend AWQy From D. c.?
By BETTY BEALE

The meeting the President
held last week In White Sui
phur Springs with the Cana
dian and Mexican chiefs Of
state has stimulated all kinds
Of speculation in the Capital.
The main subject in the
wake Of the tri-partite talks
at the golfing resort is-will
it have proved to be so sue
ceSSful that future VIP visi-
tors will bypass Washington
to meet the President else
where? And If so-what effect
will it have on the Capitals
social picture?
Three weeks ago, q friend Of
Ike's warned me. and ! wrote
same. that his decision to run
again meant that he planned
to take things easier and to be
less tense in his job. To hold
informal parleys with formal
heads of other nations is Ger.
tainly a step in that direction
so there is good reason to
think it may happen again in
the next four years If Ike Is
reelected.
What do women think Of
such out-of-town stag ses-
sions? Ouchl Talk about
decentralizing the Govern
ment." said one woman who
must be nameless. "this sort
of thing is going to decen-
tralize the social picture in
Washington! Think what q
hardship this will work on
men and women who are
used to basking in the town
where the most important
people gather! Celebrity chas-
ing hostesses are going to
have to sit down and figure
out where their next hors
d'oeuvres should be served
will 1t be White Rock in White
Sulphur. goose livers in
Gettysburg, artichokes In
Augusta or tasty tidbitS In
Thomasville? I tell you it's
going to be unnerving!"
You can see why she had to
remain nameless.

President holding q top level
meeting at White Sulphur
Springs. II think his judg-
ment is awfully good on that.
That's a mighty pleasant
place in which to entertain"
What about leaving the
women out?" I asked him.
Il don't know what kind Of
fellows these foreign gentle
men are" he quipped. IF I
knew that I could answer
your question.
Outspoken Democratic SEN

much in agreement. II think
it's fine" he said. I'm the

health which attend q pro-

and social matters follow. In
the third place. as far as I
can tell the purposes Of the
meeting-to encourage CO.
operative effort between the
three countries-would In no
way be impaired by holding

What did Italian Ambassa-
dor Brosio have to say? His
president recently completed
the traditional type Of formal
visit to Washington that was
highly successful. And, Incl
dentally, the press notices her
aiding his arrival were handled
in . maSterful way, unequaled
by any other embassy whose
chief has come here. This was
accomplished by daily con-
situations Of the top men at
the embassy who then pro-
ceeded to send out periodically
well chosen, descriptive mate
rial, accompanied sometimes
by as many as 20 pictures 70
choose from.
