The
Rambler
Diplomats Breuk
With Tradition
BY JACK JONAS

Now that the State Depart
ment has pooh-poohed the
idea that its ambassadors are
diplomatic fashion plates, a
fellow wonders. how it must
look around American EN-
basSies abroad.
Do our embassy people
strive for the casual effect in
dress and manner, clapping
one another on leather-j jack
eted backs and calling one,
another Daddy-O?
Is there an aversion to neat
ly creased trousers, dust free
top hats and mirror surfaced
shoes?
Could it be anything at all
like Massachusetts, avenue
NV. between Twentieth street
and the British Embassy?
There was evidence, on at
least one recent Sunshiny day
along Embassy Row, that
other governments have long
ago given up the striped pants
and spats motif. 1t would have
been impossible to find a can
didate for the worlds 10 best
dressed men.

A MAN emerging from the
big iron gates of the British
Embassy, for example, could
never be accused of fostering
an outmoded and Snobbish
formality in his dress.
He wore no top hat. Indeed
he wore no hat at all. The wind
had whipped the few remain
ing wisps of gray hair into a
frightened attitude. His yell
low scarf was wrapped high
enough to touch his ear lobes,
but it was tucked properly
beneath his black overcoat,
except at one point where the
fringe showed at the gap be-
low the first button.
His brilliant blue trousers
provided the touch that MADE
him seem a laboratory sample
in the classroom of the new
school of fastidiously casual
diplomatic dress.
There was a jaunty effect
in the attire of a gentleman
strolling leisurely around the
driveway and up the steps to
ring the bell at the Brazilian
Embassy.
His blue beret was at a
rakish angle. His gray sweater
was buttoned here and there,
and there was just the proper
touch of careless nonchalance
in his baggy trousers. His
shoes, partly hidden by the
extra long drape of his trous-
ers cuffs, would have made
Adlai Stevenson feel right at
home.

THE THREE men coming
down the sidewalk from the
Egyptian Embassy would have
appeared sinister in a Hitch
cock movie, because that
would have been expected. But
there was the sun shining
brightly, and they were no
more than three men attired
in trenchcoatS, collars up, and
well-worn fedoraS, brims low.
Even had there been a heavy
fog, any hint of the sinister
would have been dispelled by
the automobile they entered.
1t was not long, not sleek, not
black and not a sedan. 1t was
a medium sized blue business
coupe, as well worn as the
fedoras.
AS if to strike a balance,
another trio came out of the
japanese Embassy, across the
street and a little further
down. They wore no topcoats
and ambled along with their
hands thrust deep into the
pants pockets of their bust
ness suits.
There was not one set of
striped pants, morning coat,
spats or top hat in all of the
embassy neighborhood.
There tpus one natty uni
form. The fellow who wore it
pedaled his bike up to the
front of the Canadian mill
tary building and went inside
to deliver a telegram.
The thing that sent us hur-
rying away from Embassy Row
with disturbing thoughts about
the trend in diplomatic attire
happened at the Turkish
Embassy.
A young fellow came out,
closed the door behind him,
adjusted the belt line of his
blue jeans, tipped shut his
MOTORCYCLE jacket, smoothed
his Elvis Presley haircut, and
sauntered off.

LOO Hollywood Stars May Take Stand To Tell Truth of Scandal Stories

LOS ANGELES, R-The state launched a legal battle yesterday to save more than 100 Hollywood celebrities from filmdom's hottest spot-the witness stand in the confidential trial.
 The defense attorney in the criminal libel trial of Confiden- tial and it's sister scandal maga- zine, Whisper, says he has sub poenaed the celebrities for just one reason: to ask them, under oath, if what the magazines said about them was true
 Producer Paul Gregory testified today he was told he could keep a story out of the scandal maga- zine by paying between $500 and $1,OOO.
 Gregory said the offer was made by Mrs Marjorie Meade, one of the operators of Hollywood Research, Inc, and a defendant in the trial.
 He said Mrs. Meade told him an article had been written about Charles Laughton, Robert Mitch um and Elsa Lancaster. She said the article was scandalously in furious and would put me out of business
 Gregory said he told Mrs. Meade her offer was 'fblack1nail, that he wasn't going to buy off anybody and that he was going to report the matter to authorities.
 Thirteen stories accusing movie stars of illicit amorous adventures were poured into the ears of the jurors yesterday. More are ex- pected later today
 Here are some of the principals and the stories:
 Mae West-Her alleged predi- lection for muscle men" and her employment of a Negro boxer.
 Robert Mitchum-The story called him "the nude who came to dinner" Mitchum sued Confi- dential for a million dollars but the action was dismissed because of a question of jurisdiction.
 Dick Powell and his wife, June Allyson-"How long can Dick Powell take it?" the title asked. The story said Miss Allyson was a hubby snatcher" who carried on flirtations with her leading men.
 Corinne Calvet-The Fr ne h actress, according to the story, was overly demanding of affec- tion from her husband, John Bromfield, and later from actor Jeff Stone.
 Jayne Mansfield-The buxom blonde entertained MT. Universe in her home overnight, Confiden- tial alleged.
