Reception time yesterday
found Washington official
dom spinning around en-
bassy row like whirling der
wishes.
All this frantic activity re-
suited from the presence in
Washington Of so many
finance moguls here for the
18th annual meeting of the
World Bank and Monetary
Fund.
Heaviest concentration of
guests was around Sheridan
circle where the Philippine
the Egyptian and the Korean
Embassies had their welcome
mats out. From there, party
goers made their way up
Massachusetts, avenue to the
Japanese and South African
Embassies.
\ + ~
LARGE AND LAVISH was
the party at the Philippine
Embassy, where most people
began their trek yesterday.
There, Ambassador and
Mrs. Romulo were hosts to
some 800 in honor of the
chairman Of the Board of
Governors Of the Bank and
Fund, Miguel Cuaderno. who
Is also governor Of the Cen
trail Bank Of the Philippines.
Mrs. Cuaderno and Mr.. AL
fonSo Calalang. president Of
the Bankers Association of
the Philippines, were also in
the receiving line.
VIP's by the dozens showed
up at the embassy, which
has just recently been re-
decorated.
Former Secretary of the
Treasury George Humphrey
was q surprise guest and, Ut
course, his successor Robert
Anderson was there, as were
Secretary Of Defense and
Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. John Fos-
ter Dulles, Mrs. Allen Dulles,
Mr.. Harold Stassen, the de-
parting UnderSecretary Of
the Treasury Randolph Bur-
CESS and his successor, Mr..

THE EGYPTIAN EN-
BASSY, just next door, was

above guests.
There they met Egypt's
tall. handsome Finance Min
lister KaiSSouni and his love-
ly blond English wife, who
were entertained by the
Egyptian Ambassador and
Nine. Hussein.
He was asked If he had
made any Roadway in per-
suading the United States
Government to release the
$50 million Of Egyptian funds

party. given by the AmbaS-
sador and Mrs. Yang for
Finance Minister Hymn Chul
Kim, was a much smaller
gathering.
There Minister Kim was
asked about the economic
development Of South Korea
as compared to Communist
dominated North Korea.
South Korea is much
more advanced. However, the
Communists are trying to
develop North Korea by us
ing slave labor" he explained.
But where the Communists
concentrate completely on
arms, we are producing few
arms and trying to pay at
tention to the welfare Of our
people"
JAPAN'S FINANCE MIN
ISTER, Hisato Ichimada,
also was feted yesterday at
a party for some 300 given
by Ambassador and Mrs.
Asakai.
Mr.. Ichimada. a lifelong
banker, represents the most
highly industrialized country
in the Far East. One Of
their current problems is
finding markets for their
goods, and there's been spec
ulation that the Japanese
might recognize Communist
China to increase their trade.
Asked for his comment, MIR.
Ichimada said:
Recognition Of Red China
is a matter Of politics, and
it will not be recognized be-
cause Of economic presSures."
For his fellow Asians, most
Of whom frantically desire
industrialization. he warned
that the most important
thing is hard work and plan
ming.
THE HARD WORK theme
was also accentuated by
South Africa's genial Finance
Minister J. F. Naude, who
was entertained at q party
given by the South African
Ambassador and Nine. du
PleSsis.
Mr.. Naude said he visited
Germany and Israel and was
amazed at their extraordi-
nary development. He attrib-
uted 1t largely to diligence.
For Mr.. Naude. a rotund,
Jolly looking man, this was a
repeat viSit-having attended
the same conference here last
year. Asked II he thought
all the meetings and parties
weren't too much to pack
into a day. he replied:
Heavens no, I think the
parties are almost as i'm
portant as the meetings for

you really make the contacts
and have q chance to ex-
change ideas on an informal
basis"

"THE VENERABLE
CHALLENGE"

An author monoplizing the
conversation with talk of his
accomplishments, was suddenly
MISREPRESENTATION. "a thou

a fellow guest. Here I am talk
ing of nobady but my self. Now
let's talk about YOU. What do
you think of my new book?".
There is no one so blind as
he who has two good eyes and
Just won't see.
The movement of this inter
lectural world to capture the
minds of men will not succeed.
The new concepts of men con-
corning the eternal things shall
not deplant the. living Word.
Our hospital for the mentally
Ill will continue to be filled and
over filled as men seek life
among dead things.
I will admit that there are
those who profit by the cunning
wit of their ability to deceive
men. And this is found in organ
lied christianity and what we
call the world. But The Living
Word of God which sis the
power of God unto salvation to
those who believe.
The power of the Living Word
in the lives of men; The living
testimony of the believers; the
pages of history captures the
minds of men with facts of the
power; and the culture it pro-
duces is undeniably better, is
the venerable challenge to man.
| believe a man should search
for truth but there is danger
of searching too long in the
wrong places. You can profit by
the errors of men who searched
in the area of the information
you seek. You can profit by the
admitted mistakes of men of
history, and go forward. But re-
member the old prospector who
died and by him was written

The living Word reveals to us
who is the true God. We called

there is a Creator and we must

heart that there. is no God" His

Gov. Joe Dixon called his first
extraordinary session upon adjourn
ment of the regular 1921 Legislature
to, among other things, establish a
tuberculosis sanitarium, provide more
funds for the schools, and to enact
more equitable and scientific inheri-
lance tax laws. His second special
was called in January 1924 in order
to overturn some adverse state SUI
preme court decisions which had left
the state government with no appro-
priations to carry on its functions.
The 18th and final special session
was called by Gov. Frank Cooney in
November 1888 to deal with the
emergency created by widespread I'M
employment, to implement Congress
sional action providing relief assist
ance to citizens of the various states,
to provide direct relief or work re-

same session, carried away by the
hysteria which was so dominant in

A SPECIAL SESSION
EVERY 81 YEARS

Although we think of extraordinary
sessions of the legislature being some
what primarily because
it's almost "a years since the last
one-history reveals that since state
hood Montana has averaged special
session once every II years. In the
25-year territorial period, the aver
age was one every five years.
Looking back, it may be of interest
to know that the third special session
of territorial days, among other
things, created a board of directors
and empowered the appointment of
warden to administer the U. S.
Penitentiary which had been opened
for business three years earlier. Ter
ritorial Governor Benjamin Potts also
asked the legislature to check extrava-
gance by the reduction of fees
charged by sheriffs for transporting
prisoners to the penitentiary.
Since statehood, three Governors
called six of the eight special ses-
sions. Montana's first state governor,
Joseph K. Toole, called one in 1908
to provide funds for a state exhibit
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
in ST. Louis the following year. Later
on in the same year, Toole called an
other special session to straighten out
the "claim-j jumping" brought about
in Silver Bow county through Au-
gustus Heinze's crooked district
judge.
