beautiful white silk organdy
Carrie Mum evening dress.
The apron was embroidered
with pink and green blooms.
A tiny pink satin shrug covered
her shoulders.
The hostess greeted the two
newSmen. one newswoman.
four radio people setting UP the
interview, and a photographer
IN her drawing room. Earlier In
the day she had been to the
Washington Cathedral's Flower
Mart and brought back carna-
ton boutonnieres for the men.
Following the recording session
she offered melon balls. mint
juleps, and hors d'oeuvres to
the group.
She answered questions rang
ing from Washington cave
dwellers" to Washington wom-
ems taste. One barrage Of ques-
tioning briught up ner "fued"
with Mrs. Perle Mesta. "Of
course. I don't have a feud
with her. think she repre-
sented US very well in Luxem-
bourg. Now she's making
speeches all over. think she's
done very well for a woman. ="
At this point Mr.. Merriman
Smith proceeded to ask her
another question and said
Nov, Mrs. Mesta." The blooper
was promptly corrected by Mrs.
Cafritz saying MIR. SMITH"
Early Risers
Mrs. Cafritz described Wash
ington on the eoast-to-coast
broadcast as a place where
people all go home early. THE
men get up early to go to
work in Washington. Morris
leaves the house at 1880 am"
she said.
Washington is a place alive
with a busy intellectual pace.
There are no party labels.
There is a common denomina-
tor between guests. You in
vite Republican Senator and
a Democrat - they're good
Americans. You have a har-
monious total" Mrs. Cafritz
continued.
And in the same harmon
ious vein. she replied that she
didn't remember having a
most difficult social situation.
II don't think I've ever faced
one. Everything Is harmon
ious. everything goes beauti-
fully
Before going into the re-
cording session. Mrs. Cafritz
made a point Of saying you
can't collect people simply by
handing out a lamb chop. +"
Her parties all have a great
intellectual aura. she added.

Pope Says Mon
Has Rioht to Kill
Animals for Food

VATICAN CITY, Nov. 20 tPA
Pope Plus XII has told Rome
slaughterhouse workers that
man has the right to use ami.
mails even though unfortunate
ly they may suffer or be killed.
In an audience Sunday he
told the workers. 1T would be
wrong to think that the kill
ing of animals for nutrition OF
man is reprovable."
your work, thus. is just, and
in some circumstances-meri-
toriouS.
Everything in the universe
belongs to mankind" the Pope
said. but he. declared lit must
be used in the service of God"
80" he said. "by divine will,
minerals serve the plants.
plants serve the animals, and
animals serve man: since every
thing. through man, serves God.
But man, to use animals,
must often. unfortunately,
make them suffer; often must
kill them: but there is no
wrong in this
He said. however, it was
mans obligation Ito reduce to
a minimum" the suffering OF
animals and Ito prevent
cruelty"

Adams and Bipartisan Efforts

men of strong opinions toll
cradle and even possible.
Even so, many experts be-
lieve bipartiSanship as it has
been at times practiced and
seems now envisaged robs
the public of information it
ought to have and of the
strong argument from which
evolves the best solutions.
They would do nothing to
present Americans with a
plan arrived at administra-
lively by consent of both
parties except in war.
This school suggests that
the test should be that both
parties must act responsibility,
each snubbing and isolating
its own "wrecking crews"
1t believes the citizens can
be trusted to distinguish be-
tween justified criticism and
mere Savagery.
Democrats already know
what they consider out of
bounds. 1t is that charge
which Mr.. Adams toyed with,
that they are a war party.
He did leave out the embel-
lishment which earned Vice
President Nixon their en-
nifty - the implication that
they are somehow tinged
with treason.
Republicans might sug-
gest that the taunt that they
would sacrifice the country to
profits or a balanced budget
belongs in the same category.

NATO Nations Look to u. S.

We have to keep q heavy
restraining hand on the
Chinese Nationalist and the
South Koreans in order to
prevent them from rushing
the Chinese Communists. The
Turks are not looking for
trouble but are not afraid Of
1t either. Freedom to all
these peoples comes ahead Of
the pleasant amenities Of
life possibly because they
have SO few.
The administration is to-
day as much Europe-minded
as it was before World War
II. It believes firmly that
unless we can mend the de-
Perforated fences of the North
Atlantic Alliance our national
security will be greatly en-
dangered. Our policy makers
want to gloss over the fact
that We live in an era when
every strategic point of the
globe is of equal importance
to the survival Of the free
way of life.

Remarks of Presidents Assistont
Against Democrats Called Rude

Sherman Adams, the AS
sistant to the President, has
broken the rule which is
summarized in the vernacu-
lar as: Never insult the host
until he has paid the check"
Speaking in Chicago to a
r e publican forum, Mr..
Adams said Democrats had
been brought into the foreign
policy discussions because the
American people want a BIZ
partisan effort" and then
added: II am not saying any,
thing about the talents of
the people being invited"
He also warned against
the return to Office of CON
fused, irresolute stumblers
who might bring us into an
other war;"
The taunt obviously di-
rected at Adlai Stevenson
and the raising of the war
party" issue against the Dem
ocrats pleased the immediate
audience. 1t is not precisely
a spur to the creative ener-
gies of Mr.. Stevenson, who
was at that moment inn
mersed in State Department
assessments of its problems,
nor will it dilute the ferocity
of the Democratic Congress
soon to descend on WASH
ington.

Perhaps Mr.. Stevenson may
prove barren of ideas, and
the Democrats may decide
not to play ball. There still
would be time for Mr.. Adams
type of campaigning.
Actually, the political audi
ence here is hardened to Mr..
Adams notorious rudeness
which is thoroughly nom
partisan. 1t is discussing the
new outbreak in terms of a
very much larger question,
which is whether it is posi-
bic or even desirable to have
a bipartisan foreign policy.
An honest difference of
opinion exists among men of
integrity in both parties and
among observers. Mr. Adams
is no doubt correct in observ-
ing that the American people
like the idea of bipartisan
ship, though he rather in
cautiously implied that's why
they got it, rather than be-
cause the administration
had real convictions in the
matter.
One thing is certain: It will
not work without a real con-
viction that it is necessary,

ton in the little things which

BuiId-Up for AdIoi Stevenson

the two national headquar-
tiers Of the major parties. For
the party mechanisms Of
publicity apparently never
stop functioning. and the
barrage Of misguided mis-
siles" is constant, no matter
which party is in power.
What then is the purpose
of the incumbent administra-
ton in the consultations just
initiated by the Secretary Of
State with Adlai Stevenson?
The real hope is that the crit
icism of foreign policy will be
softened and that the admin
istration somehow will bene-
fit-that all this is better
than allowing unrestrained
combat on the political front
to be continued.
AS for Adlai Stevenson, he
personally gains an advan-
tage by experience. The
American people will be told
by the press regularly that
he is lin the know" and this
will help somewhat to develop
the idea that he is capable Of
dealing with complex prob
lens on the international
side. Already, so far as
knowledge of international
affairs is concerned. he stands
in public esteem head and
shoulders above any other
man being mentioned for the
Democratic presidential NOM
nation. This. therefore, rep
resents a big gain for the
former Governor of Illinois.
AS for the other Democrat
ic Party hopefuls. they will
go on blasting the Secretary
of State and the administra-
ton. Only the American peo-
pie can reduce the effects Of
political partisanship. and
they usually do it by exhibit
ing their customary common
sense in rejecting as irrele-
want the speeches that display
partisan selfishness and ac-
cepting as significant those
that give some semblance Of
craftsmanship.

In long observation Of poll
ties and politicians you be-
come familiar with the type
known as q behind-the-
scenes operator or, II you
want to add luster. "the man
behind the throne"
He enjoys power and draws
more and more of 1t to him
self unless restrained. He
likes it known to those who
are under him and carry OUT
his orders how powerful he
is. and likes that fact TO get
whispered about in wide
spread hearsay. But he dis
likes to be accused of it pub
licly, as Sherman Adams has
been of late. because some
how that spoils the mystery
in which his powerful pres
ence hovers. and also because
1t is not entirely compliment
tary to the man on the
throne whom he serves.
We must. therefore, choose
to regard 1t as an excess Of
modesty when Sherman Ad-
ans. the powerful Assistant
to President Eisenhower, tries
to belittle his authority and
denies publicly there is any
thing such as a palace
guard." as the term is. On
top Of that. which gets to the
heart Of the matter, he said
in a speech at the Republic
can forum in Chicago that
he and his staff see that
President Eisenhower lis the
best informed man in the
country today"
We may note. as q sign Of
these particular times, that
in view Of adverse develop
ments that have affected the
Eisenhower administration
and the President, there is
spreading a suspicion
charged openly only in Dem
ocratic organ SHAT the
President has not been kept
as we'll informed as he should
be. Else, those who have
faith in him inquire. how
could we get behind Russia
in scientific progress in outer
space. and how could the cost
Of living keep on going up
and. at the same time. the
stock market act up and the
economy slow down?

we have found the President

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Stronger Outline Of Our Military Power
Seen Needed for Free Nations Now

The talks of the foreign
ministers Of France and Ger
many in Washington are in
tended to lay the foundations
for an easier understanding
Of the heads Of state when
they meet In Paris in mid
December.
Although British Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd is not
q direct participant. he will
be kept informed on devel-
opments through telephone
conversations with Secretary
Dulles.
It is recognized here that
because Of the spectacular
publicity results Of Russia's
chronological progress, the
peoples of the NATO coun-
tries have to be convinced
that American power is still
able to crush any overt Soviet
aggression against them.
1t appears from reports to
Washington that the two mo-
e-boosting speeches made
recently by President Eisen-
hover have made even less
impression among the West
ern European allies than
they have on the American
people. Observers in Euro
pean countries say that more
ma m boyant declarations,
pointing out the still terrific
potential of the American air,
naval and ground forces,
might have treasured more of
these terrified peoples than
the admission that the Rus
slams have jumped the gun on
us. but that We shall mobilize
our brain power to catch up
with them.
The American striking
power is still as great as ever.
Any aggression by the Com
munists can be checkmsted.
1t might have been stressed
by the American leadership
that the quality Of the men
who operate the machines is
what counts. The experiences
of the past. including the
Korean war, show that the
superiority of the American
fighting men-in the air, at
sea and on the ground-over
those who live under totali-
tartan regimes is as great as
ever. There are close to two
million combat-trained and
ready ground forces at the
underbelly of Russia and

tegic Air Command located
on many important bases sur
rounding the Com m unist
world as well as our missile
carrying ships can hurt them
more than they can hurt us.
We have given the impress
sion Of Quivering because the
Russians launched two earth
satellites ahead of US. This
was, of course. an impressive
achievement. But we should
have reminded the peoples
across both oceans that it was
the American genius which
flrst succeeded in smashing
the atom. The Russian atom
development was possible be-
cause Of the reasonable acts
Of a handful of scientists who
worked in American and
British establishments. Had
it not been for these men it
is conceivable that the Soviets
might not have. been able to
explode their first bomb for
a long time.
We have been guilty Of
complacency in the last few
years. But this does not mean
that we cannot catch up with
and exceed the prowess of
our adversaries. We have
done it in the past and are
surely able to do it again.
Had these facts been properly
marshaled Immediately be-
before the Western allies it is
likely that the Red achieve
ments would have been
looked on in the proper light.
1t is interesting that the
excitement resulting from
the spectacular Sputnik pro-
gram has been felt less
among the peoples in the
Far East than those in
Western Europe. The Turks,
Iranians. Wet Namese, Ma
tionalist Chinese and the
South Koreans who are all
more directly threatened by
the Communists than our
European allies have reacted
quietly to the Sputniks. Their
question to the American
military and diplomatic rep
resentatives was: Don't you
think that it is high time to
hit them?"

pean allies would go far even
toward coeXistence, our
Asian friends have adopted
