Founders
OF Club
Celebrate

Approximately 200 found
er members Of the Army
Navy Country Club took a
long look back over the 81
year history Of their club at
their first founders day
luncheon yesterday.
And most all Of them
agreed that it was a near
miracle that the club, started
literally on a shoestring in
1927 by a small group OF
Army and Navy officers, has
not only survived, but grown
to a book value worth of Just
over SIS million.
In fact there was a time
when the struggling new
club almost folded before it
got a real start, Mai. Gen.
Robert M. Danford, USA re-
tired, recalled yesterday.
New Yorker Attends
Gen. Danford, who came
from his home in New York,
is the only living member of
the original board of COVER
nors.
Recalling those early days
in an informal luncheon ad-
dress, Gen. Danford said, I'VE
were on dead center. We'd
bought the land with dues
money. but didn't have
enough money to make i'm
provements, especially a
much needed golf course.
With no facilities to offer
the club could not get any
new members"
Gen. Danford saved the
day by interesting the then
Army Chief Of staff, Gen.
Charles P. Summerall, in the
clubs plight.
Gen. Summerall went into
immediate action. He con-
tacted all of the Army's
corps chiefs as well as his
high ranking colleagues in
the Navy and suggested they
not only conduct individual
drives to get the club new
members but offer the goods
and services Of their person.
mel to build the needed golf
course at low cost.
With Col. Richard D. New
man directing the operation,
the golf course became a
reality with the help of Army
Ordnance Corps trucks and
bulldozers, sand supplied by
the Marine Corps Quarter
master General and fertilizer
from the cavalry stables at
nearby Fort Myer.
Two Golf Courses
The club now has 81 holes
in play at the original Airing
ton site, and another 10 holes
in play at a Fairfax site it
acquired a few years ago.
Chairman of the luncheon
Rear Admiral Paul B. Nj
becker, USN retired, origb
mated the idea for the party.
The attractive luncheon
program was designed by
White House Assistant Earle
D. Chesney. talented artist
member of the club.

Fortunately Washington
has entered its slowest social
month Of the year.
SO it has time To hum like
mad about the Khrushchev

which pleases everybody in
the United States who hasn't
made the Social Register
and that's almost everybody.
There's also the more di-
rect effect of the Rockefeller
marriage on the Scan
dinavian element which gives
him a good lead to start with
in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The fact that Anne Marie
Rasmussen is the daughter
of a grocer won't hurt either.

the boost for peace Khrush-
chev's visit may give to
the whole Republican Party's
campaign. 1t certainly de-
glamorizes any plans hope
full Democrats may have had
to visit Moscow after Nixon
and take the shine off his
visit.
AS FOR THE SOCIAL
REGISTER, it will now
have to gnash its teeth over
the problem of whether or
not to list Steven Rookie
Teller after he marries a for
mer domestic, however love-
ly she is. My guess is. they
will be listed, because the
Rockefeller family have so
welcomed Anne Marie to
their bosom that it keeps the
whole thing on a high plane.
OF course, being in the
Register never helped a man
politically. Although Senator
Jack Kennedy, leading Dem
ocratic contender was listed
in the Washington Register
after his marriage to JAG
queline Bowler, he was new
er listed in his native BoS-
ton And it's interesting
to note that United States
Ambassador to Great Brit

asked to have himself taken
out Of the book because he
decided it was undemocratic
He should take a look

"He couldn't be progressive

they said carried $50 names of

told them Mr.. Bunch was not pro-
gressive enough. Appearing before
the committee were Mrs. Camille

that every parent signed the pc

by that time he had accepted en-

why he was left off the list.
