The talk was all about the
weather today as John A. Co.'S
tello. Prime Minister of Ireland,
stepped out of a plane at the
Air Transport Services
Terminal and into a shower of
rain.
Vice President Nixon, greeting
him in the downpour, apologized
for the weather and then asked
Mr.. Costello if it wasn't true
that what made the Emerald
Isle so much that way was a
great deal of the sort of thing
that was falling on them at the
moment. Mr.. Costello, a gray
haired, blue-eyed man. who was
wearing no green at all, rather
glumly agreed.
No Control Here
Later, for the benefit Of the
television cameras, the Prime
Minister, who is one of his
country's leading jurists. dryly
remarked, in a resonant baritone,
that "even this great Nation,
which has achieved so much,
cannot control the weather"
The rain washed out some of
the elaborate arrangements the
State Department had made for
the Chief Executive of Ireland.

to a minimum, and the formal
greeting was done under cover
