Miss Adkins
at
c.. Q. P. Tea
BY DAISY CLELAND

Two brave Republican men
dared to turn up yesterday at
a ladies tea.
The two stalwart members
Of the G. o. P. were William
Howard Brett, director Of the
Mint, and Herman Leroy EN-
met, jr.. assistant to the special
assistant to the Postmaster
General.
The 4-to-6 party was in
honor of Miss Bertha Adkins,
assistant to the chairman Of
the Republican National Com
mittee, and was given by the
Republican Information Serv-
ice.
The event took place at the
Emmets' residence and the
hostesses included Mrs. EN-
met, Mrs. George Thomas
Moore, vice chairmen Of the
group, and Mrs. Whitney Gill;
land, chairman.
The information service is a
new feature of the Republican
National Headquarters and Is
stated by the wives Of the
'little cabinet" independent
agencies and the White House.
Finds Her at Last
Mr.. Brett arrived to pick up
his wife and the latter talked
him into coming in for the
party. Obviously a winning
note was that he wanted to
talk to Miss Adkins. Said he.
1--WE tried to get you on the
phone all day long and now ]
see where you are"
AS for Mr.. Emmett, he just
came home and couldn't es-
cape the group. When his wife
introduced him someone asked
for his title and when she got
through Assistant to the
Special Assistant to the POST
master General" she added
with a laugh, I'VE have tried
to set it to Gilbert and Sullivan
hut we can't find the right
tune"
Miss Adkins was talking
about her trip last week to
San Francisco where she said
she had had q very successful
time checking on details for
the Republican National Con-
vention.
The huge amount Of hotel
reservations are In order, the
music and decor are under con-
troll, the program Is In the
making and so said one OF the
guests, "All we need now is Q

Members of the board of the
Daughters Of the American

military might when they were
briefed yesterday by high
ranking Defense Department
officers in the Pentagon.
The Daughters long-stand-
ing support of a strong Army.
Navy and Air Force as deter

peace was backed up by all
four speakers who stressed that
air. sea and land power is q
major deterrent to about war.

Gen. Palmer told the Daugh-
tiers that United States air
power bearing the atomic
weapon is the major deter

out that "as the lettering

any aggressor Of his own free

conduct liable to bring about
an atomic war"
Potential Wars
He asserted small wars are
potential to big wars II not
firmly suppressed. ''They can
expand rapidly and trigger Oh
a general war" he said. Ex-
amining peripheral wars in the
fringe areas, Gen. Palmer said
it is apparent If this country
became involved in fighting in
any of these places the Army
ground troops would bear the
heaviest burden. At present,
he revealed. 40 per cent of the
United States Army is serving
overseas in 70 countries.
Gen. White said the Soviets
are building a powerful wal
machine-the largest In the
world, equipped with modern
high-quality weapons.
He warned that the Reds
