The OCCASAON was the
2lst birthday Of the Shera-
ton Corp. The two hotels,
both rather recent acquisi-
tons of the chain, combined
forces to demonstrate their
loyalty with a party that
would be remembered.
1t was comparable in the
Rambler's experience only to
the 25th birthday party Of
the Mayflower, which was
attended by Conrad Hilton
himself, and a party Harvey
Firestone, jr., threw at the
same hotel for a national
convention Of the American
Truckers Association.
A funny thing about these
hotel parties. Despite the
enormous amount of work
they necessitate, the chefs
and their helpers love them.
1t gives them a chance to
carry on the European cul-
ture Of garnishing food, Of
glazing salmon, of display
ing lobster in transparent
aSpic and of serving the pate
in a pheasant with full
plumage.
AS this was to be a garden
party indoors, and a crowded
one, Mike Balazs, chef of the
Sheraton-Park, and Bernard
Binon, chef of the Carlton,
decided to stick to hot and
cold canapeS (self-service)
rather than the large snowy
pieces which call for a
servitor each.
The main piece Of decora-
ton was a huge champagne
glass suspended high over
the center of the big room
with bubbles ascending from
1.-THE same scheme that
Lawrence Welk uses in his
TV show.
There were four cham
payne fountains around the
room.
The cold canapes started
with the shrimp boats, under
full sail, here and there in
the big room and laden with
Shelled shrimp and bowls of
cocktail sauce. On the tables
were bowls of black caviar,
fish balls, smoked clans,
smoked oysters, large an
chovieS, smoked salmon, dew
lied eggs and large jars of
pate de foie gras de Stras-
bourg.
Among the hot canapes
were ecGrgotS de Bourgonne
(snailS), French fried shrimp,
batter shells of barbecued
chicken, filet of sole, curried
crab and pizza pie.
1t would be easy to make
a full meal from these
snacks. Many did.
And small pastries to &C
company the demitasses of
coffee-one of the biggest
displays of patiSSerle ever
seen this side of Vienna.

star star writer

Chairman Jones Of a House
Public Works subcommittee TO-
day disclosed plans 10 hold
hearings at an early date on
q comprehensive scheme fol
public buildings in the District
Of Columbia"
The Alabama Democrat, who
heads the Buildings and
Grounds Subcommittee, made
the disclosure during a dis.
cussion Of a bill before his
group TO relinquish the Gov
ernment's priority on acquir-
ing four squares between E, F
and Nineteenth streets and
Virginia avenue NV.
Questioned by reporters later
Mr.. Jones said he hopes to call
a hearing soon on a unifieo
building program for Wash
ington, with emphasis on the
Capitol Hill area. He could
not, at this time, give q date
for the hearing, he said.
Mr.. Jones also declared he
would like to see Congress get
behind legislation for urban
renewal development around
Capitol Hill. The object would
be to upgrade the area and
provide land for a future ex-
tension Of Government facili-
ties there.
Mr.. Jones has been a friend
of the Nations Capital in seek
ing removal of the large num-
Der Of unsightly temporary
Government Office buildings
most of which are followers
from the two world wars.
1888 Act Repeal Asked
The discussion turned in
this direction while F. Moran
| McConihe was testifying on
the bill before the committee
to repeal a 1888 act authoriz-
ing the General Services Ad-
ministration to acquire the
four squares at Virginia avenue,
Mr.. McConihe. who is ad-
ministrator of the Public Serv-
| ice under GSA. said the legis-
lation was approved and sug-
gested by the National Capital
Planning Commission. of which
he is a member.
Mr.. Jones took note Of the
fact that the commission, last
year approved the bill, which
already has passed the Senate.
He indicated some skepticism
on what the commissions at
titude might be today. implying
that the agency is not always
consistent in its views.
/ He was critical Of what he
said was the practice Of the
planning commission and the
Fine Arts Commission in run
ming to the newspapers" to
complain when Congress tries
to improve the public buildings
picture here.
Quorum Lack Delays Bill
The subcommittee deferred
action of the bill before it be-
cause of a lack of a quorum.
An effort will be made to bring
the measure before the full
Public Works Committee by
unanimous consent tomorrow
Originally the four squares
were sought by GSA to serve as
a buffer space between pro-
posed Federal buildings. Half
of one square now is occupied
by the new District Red Cross
Building. There are no Gov
eminent buildings on any of
the squares, although GSA
leases one private building, at
SIS Twenty-second street NV,
for use by the State Depart
ment.

WHAT is 1T IKE 10 be a teen

Its a lot different from Amer
ica." says Peggy Foley, who left
her home there recently to live
with an uncle in Ansonia. Conn.
Peggy whose six brothers. three
sisters and parents live on a farm
in Meens Kiskean, County Cork,
ireland, felt that opportunities
there were limited, so she came
here to try her luck.
At IS, she wants to learn short
hand and typing, two subjects that
are considered special courses in
Ireland and taught only in convent
schools.
High school is a six-year course
in Ireland The girls are taught to
sew, knit and study Gaelic, the
Irish language.
In Ireland, says Peggy, lit is
walk or ride a bike" She was over
whelmed to see teen-agers here
with their own cars. She used to
ride six miles on her bike to school,
I'VE would think nothing OF
cycling four or five miles to a
dance at night" says Peggy.
She misses the dances. There
were three or four a week, ma
1or source OF recreation. Fast
stepping jigs and curry sets were
the order of the day, no rock n
roll.
Young people in Ireland play
records, but there is no EIvis Pres
ley or Pat Boone. It's the songs the
Irish love, rather than the singer
Peggy says.
They gather for song tests and
fun, as nearly all young people
play some musical instrument The
most popular is the melodi@n,
which looks and sounds like a
small accordian.
Girls wear dresses or skirts and
blouses for most occasions. Blue
jeans and Bermuda shorts are out
of order.

WASHINGTON-NC) - The

Men has received official status

the United States mission to

from the organizations head
quarters here.
Judge Mcmillan said the rec
ignition had come in the form
of generalization to the UN and
to the US. mission. Accredited
organizations are entitled to at
tend meetings for such groups
sponsored by the UN and the
mission, to receive UN publica-
lions and to be granted other
privileges.

ed.
Martin H. Work, executive di-
rector of the Mems Council,
said generalization with the two
organizations represents for the
NCCM "the capitalization of
what up to this time has been
a deep interest"
He added that the Council
had been spurred to seek ac-
creditation by the fact that 1.-The
Holy Father has often express
ed the wish that Catholic lay
men take a more active part in
world affairs"
Mr.. Work said accredited sta
ttus would enable the NCCM ito
bring Christian influence to
bear on the UN, to be better
informed on UN affairs, and to
be of more service to Catholic
men throughout the country by
keeping them abreast of devel-
opments at the UN."

Priest
'Tarred After
Algeria Protest

ST. ETTENNE, France - Act
ing like members of the Ku
Klux Khan, a group of unidenti-
fled persons tarred and feather
ed a young priest here, appar-
emily because he had taken part
in a protest against French pol
icy in Algeria.
The priest was Father Marcel
Matricon, assistant at st. Fer
MINIS parish in nearby Ferminy.
His Eminence Pierre Cardinal
Gerlier, Archbishop of Lyons,
has sent a message TO the Fer
miny pastor expressing his
shock at hearing of Father Ma
tricon's mistreatment.
The priest was awakened
during the night at the St.
Fermin reetory. When he an
swered his door, young
woman standing there asked
him TO come TO give the Last
Saersments TO a dying person.
There was q car waiting to
take him TO the dying per.
sons home, she said.
When the priest got into the
automobile, there were several
other persons in it, and he no.
ticed that they were followed
by another automobile.
After driving out of the town,
the cars stopped and Father Ma
tricon was told to get out. He
was then stripped to the waist
and tarred and feathered. His
assailants then drove off, leav-
ing him behind.
The priest made his way back
to Ferminy and was hospitaliz.
ed.
The identity of the people
who attacked him is still I'm.
known. 1t is thought that the
attack took place because Fa.
Their Matricon took part in a
protest meeting last month
against the French govern.
ment's policy in Algeria. The
town of Ferminy has a large
population of North African
Frenchmen and sympathy for
them and against the Algerian
nationalist is strong.
Cardinal Gerlier said in his
message:
Granting ones right 10
criticize the attitudes and
opinions Of . priest, there is,
nevertheless, no justification
for such an excessive disre.
speef TO a worthy priest. Such
action is dishonorins to those
who indulge in il and who, at
the same time. are guilty Of
violating the most basic free
doms.
1T is for this reason that /, a.
guardian of the dignity of m,

this formal protest, understand
ing that all upright people, re

Labor Head Says
Others Should
FOUOw Lead

CHICAGO-NC)-A top lead
err challenged other organized
groups to start working as labor
has done to clean its ranks of
racketeers.
George M. Harrison, president
of the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks and an AFL-CIO vice
president. was a speaker at the
Ryan Forum sponsored here by
the Catholic Council on Working
Life in honor Of Msgr. John A.
Ryan. social action pioneer.
IN the past five years"
said Mr.. Harrison, "the labor
movement has been invssti-
gated by five Congress COM.
mittees and oil Of these COM
mittees have turned up only
40 corrupt trade union offie-
ials.
"There may be more, but even
if the number is multiplied
many times it will be a small
portion of the 10000 full-time
paid national and international
officers and the 420,00 local
union officials in the ALL
CLOS affiliated unions" he said.
He said that when top labor
officials found corruption they
expelled unions which had been
proved guilty, and they spelled
out ground rules for the future
conduct of unions.
1.-THE AFL-CIO has already
expelled six unions. Has any
business group. doctors group,
lawyers group or any financial
group expelled six of its sub
sidiary bodics?" he asked.
"The American labor move
ment of the future is going to
be cleaner, more effective and
bigger, unless its enemies sue
coed in enacting state and Fed
eral legislation that will place
labor unions in a strait-jacket,"
he said.

African Sisters
Receive Status
From HOLY See

KISUBI, Uganda - NC) -
The "Bannabikira' Daughters
of Nary just made a congrega-
'tion of pontifical right, became
the first entirely African con-
gregation of Sisters to achieve
that status.
According to canon law, a con-
gregation of 'pontifical right
lis one (which has received from
the Holy See either approval. or
at least the decree of praise
A congregation created by and
under the jurisdiction of a bish-
op is called a congregation of
diocesan right"
The Bannabikira came into
being in 1911, when the first
group of novices of the COM
munity, which had been found
ed by the late Archbishop Henri
Streicher, WIZ, Vicar Apostolic
of Uganda, took their vows.
Until 1925 the Sisters re-
newed their vows annually. In
that year they were formally
made a diocesan congregation
and were allowed to take vows
for three-year periods. This rise
in status also means that the
Sisters have a right to their own
superior general, a general coun-
ell and an independent mother
house and novitiate.
There are now almost 500 Sis
tiers in the congregation. They
are engaged in primary and sec
ondary school education, and in
catechetical work.
