Although the Belgian AM

FEW PEOPLE KNOW 1T
but Secretary of the Treasury
Bob Anderson was recently
held in temporary custody by
police and not allowed to
bulge in any direction.
The peace-loving former
Deputy Secretary of Defense
had attended the Federal
state Action Committee
meeting in Chicago and was
driving to the airport with
New Hampshire Gov. Dwin-
nell. A State policeman was
at the wheel. That should
have been enough to give
them a nice, secure feeling.
The difficulty came about
when he drove the car. right
onto the airf1eld where mill
tary planes are kept in a
state of constant readiness.
About 200 yards from the
planes, the car was stopped
by a military policeman and
though the driver told him
who his passengers were, it
didn't faze him. The story
is, the military policeman
even took away the State
policeman's gun. 1t seems
that nobody except author
lied personnel is allowed near
the planes.
At any rate. the two VIP's
were. held there until a pa
trolman arrived and satisfied
himself that all was we'll.
Said Secretary Anderson
afterwards, IT thought Of
telling him I used to be Dep
uty Secretary of Defense,
but I didn't. He was just
doing his duty"

THE HEADLINES THIS
past week have been enough
to shake the smuggest prog
nosticators to the core.
The faces of Government
leaders are long enough to
be launched as rockets, and
the people of society can
either talk of nothing else
but Soviet capabilities, or
they fearfully avoid the dis
tasteful subject entirely.
Will the real scare that's
beginning to take over in
high places cast a pail over
ASKING on entertaining
which always reflects world
events?
Let's see what Washing
ton hosts and hostesses have
to say.
Distinguished Italian AM
bassador Manlio Brosio.
whose country is a lot closer
to the Soviets than ours,
says:
II don't think it would be
advisable to have a change in
social life at the present
moment. Our world should
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-10

be able to meet the challenge
without changing the normal
course of life, and social ac-
tivity is part of the normal
course of life. We should be
able to make the serious eff
fort without cutting down on
the amenities"
The next comment from
the noted host at the Span
ish Embassy. the Count de
Motrico, reminded one of a
statement last summer of DIR.
Joseph Kaplan, chairman Of
the United States Committee
for the International Geo.
physical Year. The scientist
publicly stated that the idea
for the whole stupendous
ICY project was born at a
cocktail party in Silver
Spring. 1n the home Of DR..
James Van Alen). There's no
telling. If the hors d'oeuvres
gathering hadn't been held
we might be even farther be-
hind scientifically than we
are now.

THE SPANISH AMBASSA-
DOR said, THE challenge to
the West is very serious, but
it won't cut down on enter
tanning here. 1t is more apt
to step it up.
People will be anxious to
get news and exchange ideas,
and in Washington the best
way to exchange ideas Is
through entertaining.

There's q sample of WASH
