President Heuss is rumored to
be coming in mid-March.
And If the French and British
have anything to do with it
their government heads will
also come this spring.
Queen Elizabeth, if she
comes. will not come till fall,
She has too many commit
ments this spring and sum-
mer to come earlier. Actually
she has yet to be invited by the
President. But with the whole
State Of Virginia urging this
visit to celebrate the 350th

likely to come off. We wouldn't
want Virginia to Secede.
Keep Kid Gloves Ready
AS for all the others, their

agenda. It's just a question
of who comes first and when.
But come they will, so don't
put away the top hat and white
kid gloves after the Inaugural
Ball. You'll need them for
months to come.
One can't help noting also
that just as the administration
bursts forth in all its inaugural
glamour and social glory, both
the British and French EN-

life after a quiet interval.

By BETTY BEALE

You people who keep the
Washington caterers and coat
check girls in business-brace
yourselves! You're in for a big
year.
Any doubts you may have
had due to the moderate ex-
element Of last year or the
talk Of serious trouble bursting
out in the Middle East. should
have been dispelled by the
White House announcement
last week re the coming social
season.
If war were imminent-as
some of the long faces on Cap
itol Hill might suggest-Pres-
ident Eisenhower would hardly
be resuming a full social sched-
ule for the first time since
1886.
Even though only six func-
lions were listed out of the
traditional 10, this is still a full
schedule for starting so late in
the season. In fact, by January
Il, 1855, all 10 had been given
and dispensed with.
The truth of the matter is.
Washington society was fioored
by the sudden White House
ounce ment. Nobody
dreamed at this late date that
the Eisenhowers would at
tempt such a heavy white-tie
schedule. Nor did they expect
the resumption of state visits
from foreign chiefs on such a
scale as to require special men,
ton by Presidential Press Sec
rotary Hagerty.
Health Must Be Fine
Obviously. both Dwight D.
Eisenhower and his doctors
share the belief that his health
is up to par and will not suffer
from the normal routine of
evening events that taxes every
President. Otherwise he
wouldn't be launching on his
social soireeS so soon after
Inauguration Day when he will
take the oath, make a speech,
lunch at the Capitol, watch a
two-hour parade and attend
four balls all within IL hours!
Few big businessmen have a
schedule that equals this one:
Receive hundreds at the
diplomatic reception on the
oath; entertain at full dress
dinner for Supreme Court on
the goth; entertain at big state
dinner for King Saud of Saudi
Arabia on 30th; attend his
Majesty's dinner at Saudi
Arabian Embassy on 31st: en-
tertain at full dress dinner for
Vice President on February 4.
and receive hundreds at a gov
eir1mental reception on Febru.

said. BE glad Of it. 1t means

The Board Of Managers Of the

thank Senator Morse. Democrat

bill which embodies the principle

The board again approved the

Along the ConoI
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

On Friday the Ram bier
lunched early at his favorite
restaurant and started to de-

Where was he going? his
friends asked.
Going to hike along the Gao
Canal towpath with Justice
Douglas, was the answer.
"Oh, no." they chorused,

That is what his wife had

But those who have lived
through an extraordinary ex-

red.
After years upon years as a

ments.
After the story appeared in
this column, a lot Of mail and
telephone calls came In.
The Office Of the assistant
dean Of the Georgetown School

the dog be brought there and
20 languages tried on him.
Others suggested the Berlitz
school. Some thought a dog
companion might solve the
problem. One woman said she
