Biggest, coolest and one of
the prettiest June weddings
ever held was that of Mini
AuchinclosS and Newton Steers
on Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Hugh D. AuchinclosS
said in advance she was sure
the weather would be unusual.
The night the beauteous Mini
made her debut at their New
port home. a hurricane dashed
the fashionable coast resort.
1t was so chilly out at
Norwood. the AuchincloSs
estate in Mclean, Va, there
was only one woman on the
whole terrace-upper stone
one or lower grass one-who
wasn't complaining about the
cold. and that was Mrs. Albert
Dewey. She was wearing a
full-length mink coat!
One can't say the tempera-
ture cast a chill on the re-
ception. however. 1t was still
going strong five hours after
the wedding when the couple
had already departed for their
honeymoon.
There were so many in the
bridal party that if no one
else had showed up the recep-
ton would have still looked
like a roaring success. The
bride had IA attendants and
the groom 16.
Mini designed her brides
maids dresses and had them
made in New York. Short,
sleeveless dresses with petal
edged skirts, six were of paleSt
yellow and six of palest green.
The bridesmaids wore simple
matching bandeaux on their
heads and carried leghorn
hats pinned together like
basket and full of daisies.
Senator Jack Kennedy's wife
Jackie reversed the procedure
as matron of honor. She
wore a broadbrimmed leghorn
trimmed with daisies and car
ried a circlet of daisies.
The brides circlet of white
flowers turned out to be a
ringer. When she stood on
the stairway at Merrywood
and tossed it toward a flock
of outstretched arms it landed
right on the blond head of
pretty Monte Philips of New
York.
The Alexander Hamiltons of
New York. who spent the week
end with the Ed Foleys, were
there chatting with another
Hamilton descendant, Helen
Hamilton Burgess, and her
husband, Undersecretary Of
the Treasury Randolph Bur-
CESS.
World Bank President and
Mrs. Eugene Black and Grace
and Neill Phillips were among
the first arrivals in a stream
of cars that inched their way
slowly over the long driveway.
Egyptian Ambassador and
Nine. HusSein and the Ga
brlele PareSces of the Italian
Embassy were the only diplo-
mats glimpsed, the latter not
as clipper as usual having
stayed up to 4 am. because
Of the very successful dance
at the Italian Embassy the
night before.
The Husseins gave the bridal
couple a handsome Egyptian
coffee table with large en-
scrolled brass tray on top for
a wedding present. The gifts,
incidentally. were on display
IN the indoor badminton court
which was fancifully decorated
with a huge straw rooster and
yellow ribbons leading down to
bouquets Of daisies.
Mrs. Nike Monroney and
Mrs. Bill Morgan arrived to-
gether. and there were Sena-
tor and Mrs. Leverett Salton-

SPEAKING
Baseball to Figure in State Visit;
Other News From Embassy Row
By SELMA ROOSEVELT

Baseball. it seems, figures
very much in Japanese-Ameri-
can relations.
Apparently the japanese
love the sport almost as much
as Americans, so a baseball
game will be one of the unoffi-
cial highlights of the Japanese
Prime Minister'S forthcoming
visit to the United States.
Prime Minister Nobusuke
Kishi. who is due in Washing
ton for a three day state visit
starting Wednesday, June 10,
is scheduled to throw out the
first ball at a double header
Sunday, June 80, at Yankee
Stadium in New York, accord
ing to an embassy spokesman.
OF course, this will be only
a brief respite in the Prime
Minister'S tightly packed
schedule.
CAS- of now. it does not look
as if the Girard case will cause
any change in the Prime Min
ister's plans.)
He and 10 members of his
official party will arrive in
Washington on the morning Of
the 10th and will stay at the
Presidents Guest House. The
Prime Minister is not bringing
his wife or family.
1t is not this first trip to
Washington. He's even had
chance to practice the routine
of a state visit here. for he was
in the encourage of Foreign
Minister Shigemitsu when he
came here in 1855. (Mr. Kishi
was then Secretary-General of
the Liberal Democratic Party.
Many parties are on the
Prime Minister'S schedule.
President Eisenhower will of
course entertain the visitor
and Secretary of State Dulles
will give a dinner.
The japanese Ambassador
will entertain at a reception
for the visitor on June 20 and
Mr.. Kishi will be host to Mr..
Dulles at a dinner party. Be-
fore his departure on the 22nd
for New York. the Prime Min
lister will be guest of honor at
a luncheon here given by the
japanese American Society of
Washington.
After several days in New
York, the Prime Minister will
go to Los Angeles.
THE ROMANTIC SETTING
of the Italian Embassy ball
this week end, is still the talk
of the town.
1t was as if someone had
waved magic wand and sud-
denly transported 400 Wash
ingtonians TO handsome villa
in Rome.
And indeed. the embassy,
built shortly after World War
I when GelaSio Caetani was
Ambassador here, is said to be
patterned after the Palazzo
Caetani in Rome.
For the first time in years.
the large reception room really
looked like a ballroom, for
three beautiful new crystal
chandeliers coupled with all
the other renovationS have
now made it very elegant.
While some of the guests
danced here to the music of
Devron and his orchestra,
many more were in the court
yard where tables circled
little pool. Soft lights height
ened the romantic effect al
ready created by the moon. the
two huge trees and the high
walls covered with ivy.
Mrs. Robert Low Bacon said
the setting reminded her of
the first time she came TO the
embassy-its housewarming in
fact. when Caetani gave a big
masked ball TO show of the
new residence to the city.
Although the residence does
adapt so well to a dancing
party, this ball given by the
Ambassador and Signora
Brosio is the first one given
by an Italian Ambassador since
before the war.
This ball was in honor of
the visiting Italian Naval Of

Mr.. Payne. after comforting

at 1349 E street NV, has been
called upon to show cause why
its Glass l. license should not
be suspended or revoked. The
hearing grew out OF a 1865 raid
to break UP dice game. and a
police undercover mans report
that he was served drinks.
Policeman Thomas j. Glocken-
Igeiser yesterday testified to
after hours drinking and gam
bling in the club. He said he
obtained membership in the
club through a man known as

drinks. He also testified he saw

The board charges the club
with four counts OF permitting

assistance to families displaced
by all types OF District programs
The central relocation. setup,
strongly urged by the Washing
ton Housing Association, is the
center of a dispute between Dis
.trict officials and a number of
other groups. AT present. the
RIA provides such help for FAM
lilies moved from redevelopment
projects. and VIVA wants this
service extended to all displacees.
Col. Mathe made it plain to-
day that the District has no
intention of establishing such
Ia central agency. Instead, he
said. the District is drafting pro-
cedures with each of the various
displacement agencies to offer
on a decentralized basis help to
families which need and re-
quest it."
Col. Mathe also said he ex-
poets approval from Federal
Housing Administrator Cole
within the next few days for
District participation in the new

help displaced persons buy or

1t. Col. Robert E. Mathe. Dis

told the group that almost 10,-
900 families may be displaced
and must be housed in new
dwellings within the next four
years.
He said estimates of various
agencies predict about $500 fam
lilies will be moved from South

$50 displaced by the Board for
the Condemnation of Insanitary
Buildings. 1880 by the Highway
Department for new roads and
$50 through enforcement Of the
icity's new housing code.
Col. Mathe said this may be a
high estimate because the city
has not displaced such large
numbers in the past. hut noted
that many Of the programs are
moving into high gear.
Both Mr.. Banks and q. Frank
