This afternoon q corner Of the Tsubokawa
living room had been arranged to dupli-
cate the traditional tea setting. which Is
now almost four centuries old.
The background was q screen. In front
lay a grass mat On the mat were placed
an old japanese wrought-iron teapot. sew
size Of an ordinary teacap. q wooden ladle.
shaped somewhat like q shaving brush, q
beautiful black lacquered tea caddy and
blue-and-white pottery jar.
The tea-maker was Mrs. X. Miyoshi, wife
Of the correspondent for the newspaper.
Mainichi, Of Kyoto. She wore lowered
kimono and padded silently into the room
In "tabe," the white socks which japanese
wear In their homes.
From then on. every movement was
measured and quiet. She ladled hot water
into one Of the pottery bowls. poured that
out, and then wiped the bowl. Then she
measured three spoons Of powdered tea Ut
looks like q green DUST into the bowl.
Then she ladled hot water over the powder,
and stirred It bristly with the bamboo
whisk
The bowl was then passed to q guest BY
Mrs Tsubokawa, who knelt before the
guest and bowed. The tea looks like pea
soup, and Is little. tart Each guest must
first hold the bowl up and admire It. Then
she takes three sips.
This ceremony Is repeated for each guest.
All that time there Is no conversation
except compliments for the tea bowls, and
for the tea. There were also paper-thin
waters about the size Of q quarter. and q
richly sweet cake which looked like slices
Of brown gelatine.
For full measure, Mrs. Tsubokawa had
arranged for Kabuki dance. Mrs. Miyosm
was the dancer-in q cream silk kimono
covered with q cherry blossom pattern.
The design was repeated on her gold paper

York. Another with a delicate floral
spray design was made by Priscilla
Jane Pettyjohn, Milton, and lent by

coin purse was crocheted in shades
of rose, tan and green and decor
ated with cut-steel beads. 1t was

Silver Spring Building
Dedicated by McKeIdin

Gov. McKeldin Of Maryland
alighted from a helicopter yes
terday beside the new Silver
Spring Regional Building Of the
Observation-Disclosures Capital
Park and Planning Commission
to speak at a ceremony dedicat-
ing the 100000 structure.
The ceremony was held In
the auditorium Of the three
story, split-level, steel. brick
and limestone building, on a
1.3-acre tract at 1887 Georgia
avenue. Present at the OBJ
servance were the bi-county
planning agency's 10 commits
sioners, local and State digni-
taries and officials from Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties.
The Governor, who had
flown here after opening the
Prince Georges Showcase at the
University of Maryland, said
future growth in the area calls
for planning as we never be-
fore have known to the end
that desirable industrial and
business establishments will moi

was introduced by Montgomery

said Sergt. Thomas A. Rogato,
chief of the police traffic safety
section.
More than 200 persons, in
Guiding Gov. McKeldin, at
tended the Showcase dedica-
ton ceremonies.
The exposition is designed
both to attract new residents,
particularly some 10000 Fed
eral employees to be working
in offices relocated in Prince

residents of county services.
Immediately after a tour Of

and one in the State Senate.
At present, they hold onl,
five House seats and three il
the Senate. Three of the Re.
publieans are unoppoSed. Their
are 100 House members and Al
State Senators.
G. o. P. State Chairman !
Lee Potter, who also is in charge
of the Republican Nationa
Committees Operation Dixie
to organize his party in thu
: South, has said that if Repub.
licans can gain a block of l;
or 20 seats in the Legislature
they may we'll be the deciding
factor if the Democrats are di'
vided.
Negroes in Race
Another highlight of the
overall picture of legislative
races sees efforts by three Ne
groes to win House seats ir
three separate areas.
Also, eight women-two Dem
ocrats and six Republicans
also are in House contests. Al
present, Mrs. Kathryn H. Stone
of Arlington, Democrat cp-
posed for reelection to one
of the county's three seats, is
the only feminine legislator.
The House is certain to have
at least one woman member
next year. Mrs. Barnabas w
Baker, Democrat. is unopposed
in Portsmouth for one of that
city's two Delegates.
The only senatorial contest
involved-this is not the year
when State Senators. with
terms of four years, are elected
is in the Southwest. Ralph
Lincoln, Republican of Marion
formerly a member of the
House for many years, is op-
posed by Thomas c. Phillips
Democrat of Abingdon. They
seek to fill the vacancy created
by the death of Senator George
M. Warren of Bristol.
Democrat William F. Stone
is unopposed for Senate va
cancy in Martinsville.
Back DaltOn's Fight
The concerted drive by Re-
publicans this year ties in with
the candidacy of State Senator
Ted Dalton for Governor. Mr.
Dalton, a reluctant candidate
agreed to enter the Statewide
fight partly at the behest OF his
friends who felt that his per-
sonal popularity as the States
MIR. Republican" would carry
some of the lesser candidates
into Office on his coattails.
Throughout the State. there
are contests for a total of 43
seats, involving 26 House Dis
tricts.
In the area next to Washing
ton there are contests for Ar
lington's three seats and for
the Fairfax County-Falls
Church Districts two seats.
In addition to Mrs. Stone
other incumbent Democrats
seeking reelection in Airing
ton are Delegates Harrison

licans Rutherford Day. Lewis
