men couldn't be more differ
ent. Both are extremely able
but Couve is more introverted
and restrained. He has the
calm, quiet strength you
might expect of a Protestant
in a Catholic country. He
should make a good foreign
minister.
Alphand is more Gallo,
more given to sociability. He
has brilliant wit and an

consciousness that makes him
a delight in entertaining
others. He is a good ambass-
ador.
Throughout their neck

EXCLUSIVELY
YOURS
Society Hopes Occupants
OF French Embassy Remain
BY BETTY BEALE

Ever since the radical
change in the French govern
ment. Washington society has
been wondering II it would
mean a change of personnel
at the French ambassadorial
residence in Washington.
A rumor Friday said that
Gen. Charles de Gaulle might
give Jacques Soustelle the
plum Of the ambassadorship
to the United States to re-
move him from politically un-
settled Algeria where Sous
telle in some quarters is as
popular as De Gaulle.
Washington society is not
eager to see any change. AM
bassador Herve Alphand has
only been here a year and
seven months, and now that
he is well known and well
liked 1t would seem a pity to
move him. (. Also it would
be a great disappointment if
his bride of less than a month
wereS to leave without having
the chance to make her mark
as a hostess. Nicole Al
hand has already made such
hit. her career as Embassy
hatelaine is filled with
promise.
During this past week there
was some talk that M. Al
phand might be switched to
Bonn, Germany. If he were
to go there, 1t would be an
other almost uncanny parallel
in the careers of Herve Al
phand and his predecessor
in Washington, Frances new
Foreign Minister Maurice
Couve de Murville.
"Couve" was only here a year
before the big ambassadorial
shakeup that brought Al
phand here and sent him to
Bonn. But let's go back
to the beginning.
COUVE AND ALPHAND
are the same age, 81. They
both went to the Ecole des
Sciences Politiques and were
in the same class. Both were
graduated in 1927. both en-
tered the Ministry Of FL
nance in 1880 after passing
the tough exams. They were
the two top men in the
exams, as they had been at
the school.
They both served with Gen.
de Gaulle during the war on
finance questions and they
both switched to the diplo-
matte service under De Gaulle
in 1913.
In 1945 each was appointed
director general at the Quai
d'Orsay which is equivalent
to our Undersecretary of
State. COVE was director
general for political affairs
and Alphand was director
general for economic affairs.
In 1850, both became am
bassadors, Couve going to

Madonna Of Ragpickers' Dies

her own hands.

poorest of the city's poor.

work of this group of scavengers

from the streets here to exc out

She lived within their tumble

them to sort junk, dressing in

The chapel Is the villages tallest
structure and Is surmounted by
a wooden cross. Many of the rag
pickers have since become Catho-
lies.
During these past eight years
Miss Kitahara and Brother Zenno
we're joined by one of Tokyo's
most popular playwrights, Toro
Matsui. Also a convert, Mr.. Mat
sui left behind a promising career
in Japan's traditional Noh and
Kabuki theater to give himself
to an apostolate of Christian char
ity among the ragpickers.
In 1883, Maria Kifshsra vir-t
vaIly became the r~sspiekers'
patron saint when she led q
successful battle against the
Tokyo city government and pre-
vented the enforcement of an
eviction order on Ari.no-maehi.
During her fight with city Of

pickers, published by a Tokyo
firm, which brought the plight of
the ragpickers into the public
view.
Mr.. Matsuit, who has described
the Transformation of Ari-no-
MACH into a Christian community
in his book 1.-THE Miracle of the
Ants" says his inspiration came
from the devoted young woman.
Today, though their beloved
Miss Kitahara is dead, the rag.
pickers continue to scurry
through the streets and by-ways
of Tokyo, collecting the trash dis
carded by its millions of resi-.
dents.
Because of this devoted young
woman they now know their goal,

Kitahara had suffered a martyrs
death.
II was . LITTLE ever 10 years
ago that Miss Kitahars first
came to Ari-no-maehi. She had
Just become o Catholic and
was still . pharmacy student.
During a visit with some rela-
tives she decided to stop at the
nearby Ant Village to speak with
Brother Zenno Zebrosky. DIM.
Conv., who was working with the
ragpickers.
Brother Zenno was the former
companion of Father Macmillan
Kobe, another Polish Conventual
Franciscan who worked in Maya
saki from 1890 to 1885. Father
Kobe, known as "Our Lady's
fool" died a martyrs death in
Germany during World War II.
At the end of the war, Brother
Zenno came to Tokyo where he
has dedicated himself to an apos-
tolate among the city s ragpick-
ers, which at that time numbered
several hundred thousand.
Miss Kitahara sought out Broth
er Zenno and asked how she could
serve the unfortunates in Ant
Village.
She returned the following day
and brought food for the chill
dren and began giving lessons to
the Migrants.
At that time, when the sears

tomu Ozawa, tells how astonished
he was the day when Miss Kita-
hara came to the village and be-
gan building herself a hut among
the novels.
Under Brother Zenno's and
Miss Kitahara's influence a trans
formation has taken place at Ar.
no-machi. Drunken brawls are a
thing of the past. Walls have been
erected around the community,
more sturdy living quarters have
been built, a community kitchen
and dining hall have been added.

Psychiotric.
CIinicUrged
ForCourt

Establishment of a full-scale
psychiatric clinic for Juvenile
Court was urged yesterday by
the courts Advisory Com
mittee.
The clinic. as outlined in a
report prepared by DR.. Addison
Duval and other committee
members, would handle about
600 adults and juveniles a year.
Judge Orm w. Ketcham
gave enthusiastic Endorsement
to the clinic. Many other large
cities, he said. already have
such a setup connected with
their Juvenile Court.
The judge estimated the
clinic would cost the court as
much as 100000 yearly. He
said he would try to get official
approval for the project in the
near future.
Clinic personnel would in
clude two psychiatrists, four
psychologists, one nurse and a
pediatrician to work part time.
They would handle psychiatric
and psychological studies of
both children and adults re-
ferred to them by the judge or
the courts social service divi-
sion.
The clinic would be primarily
consulting service. but it
would also handle a limited
number of cases on a thera-
peutic basis and do some re-
search. 1t would be located in
the Juvenile Court Building.
Currently the court has one
psychologist, DR.. Laurence l.
Frost, to conduct mental exam
nations. In a nin-emonth pc
riod ending last April, he ham
died 1873 juveniles.
Judge Ketcham pointed out
that the $4,000 now available
for such studies is not enough
to get even one pSychiatrist.
Establishment of the clinic,
he said, would enable both him
and his staff to become more
familiar with the symptoms of
mental disease through con-
facts with the professional
personnel.
