EXCLUSIVELY YOURS
Jewel Collection Proposed
For Use OF First Ladies'

dressy state function and
who was instrumental in the
Smithsonian gaining two val.
liable collections this winter,
is an ardent supporter of the
plan. Said Wiley:
1.-THE establishment Of q
collection of state jewels to
be made possible by the
generosity of private dona-
tons to the Smithsonian In.
stitute is a very worthy prof.
ect. 1t is my impression that
some other countries have
collections such as the one
proposed, and I think it
would be most fitting for the
First Lady and the wife of
the Vice President to have
access to such a collection on
state occasions.
Between times the jewels
would afford considerable
pleasure to the many persons
who visit the Smithsonian
Institution and at the same
time illustrate the great work
of the artisans who created
them.
II am certain" continued
this Smithsonian donor, that
many of Americas leading
citizens. families and organ.
izations would feel it a priv
ilege to contribute to such a
collection. And most people
would take pride in the
knowledge that our first and
second ladies were appearing
in the best possible light be-
fore visiting dignitaries."
One can already imagine a
glass case in the middle Of
the room that now houses
the Hope diamond, sparkling
with the fire of Americas
historic official jewels. The
idea seems not so radical
when one remembers that a
whole hall has been set aside
at the Smithsonian to house
the inaugural ball gowns of
first ladies.
NOR WILL DONORS BE
WANTING. The jeweler whose
idea it is feels sure that
leading jewelers. in the coun.
try would gladly contribute
their art toward the collec-
ton. Private persons UNI
doubtedly would find the
preservation Of beauty for
public appreciation plus the
honor of contributing to the
country's most famous and
important collection, sufi-
cient inducement to become
a donor. Not to mention the
added attraction of tax de-
duction.
But neither politics nor the
willingness of the donor
should affect the quality of
jewels accepted. They should
be passed on just as the art
accepted by the National
Gallery is passed on.
One should imagine too
that the best pieces should
be limited to the First Lady's
use only. 1t would be
unbecoming of the Vice Presi-
dents wife to be adorned
with equal or greater i'm
portance.
Generations come and go;
the fabric of a ballgown
turns to dust; buildings dis
integrate. But the fire in a
diamond will glitter with the
same brilliance thousands
and thousands of years hence.

star star Writer

Should there be q National
collection Of exquisite and
wearable jewels to be made
available to the First and
Second Ladies Of the land
throughout history?
This is q question that has
arisen lately in conversation
among Washington officials,
and the idea met with such
favorable response it is here
with passed on to you for
further consideration.
The idea was actually born
in the House Of Winston
which donated the Hope dia-
mond to the Smithsonian In
stitution a few months ago
with the thought of en-
couraging a National Jewel
Collection.
Under consideration now
Is q collection Of jeweled
works Of art to be displayed
at the Smithsonian but to
be taken out and worn by
the Presidents wife and/or
Vice Presidents wife (who-
ever they may be- at historic
evening functions. An Inau-
gural Ball would be such an
occasion; a dinner for, or
given by, a visiting chief of
State would be another.
\ 4 y X
THE REASONS FOR SUG-
COSTING THIS PLAN are
multiple.
One is that America is
losing beautiful and impor-
tant jewels to Europe
mainly to rich Greeks-and
we should be no happier
about this exodus than If
great paintings were in
creasingly leaving our shores.
The establishment of such
a collection, that would at
once become historic because
Of the occasion and the
wearer. would attract gifts
from private donors just as
a gallery attracts paintings.
In time, the collection could
become second to none,
adding great wealth to the
Government.
Two. it seems unnecessarily
contradictory for a country
as rich as ours to provide a
lovely and historic residence
for the Chief Executive and
his wife and an elaborate
gold service for state dinners,
then expect the First Lady to
depend on her own inexpen-
sive or imitation jewelry-if
that is all she has to
highlight her dress when
entertaining elegantly jew
eled visitors from abroad.
Someone will instantly say,
But this is a democracy"
So it is. But there's nothing
imitation about that gold
service on the White House
table, and the magnificent
chandeliers in the East Room
are crystal, not glass.
Three, such a collection to
be worn by Presidents wives
from now on would stimulate
jewelers. to compete in the
creation of beautiful things.
What did DR.. Leonard
Carmichael. secretary of the
Smithsonian, think of the
plan that involved his
domain
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-03-01
"THE SMITHSONIAN is

IhE SM1IhSONlAN Is
INTERESTED in all rare OBJ
jects. and jewelry making in
its highest form Is o form of
art; so We would certainly be
interested in acquiring q
great jewelry collection" re-
sponded DR.. Carmichael.
THE question as to whether
or not objects could be CIV
en- to the Smithsonian with
the provision that they would
be withdrawn for particular
use by the First and Second
Ladies is something that we
have never considered. But
my initial reaction is that if
the donor so specified we
would have no objection to
it." he continued, adding,
"Of course, 1t would be nee
essary to work out problems
for the safeguarding of the
jewels when not in the Gus
tody Of the Smithsonian"
When one has seen the
magnificent jewels worn at
various and sundry parties
by Mrs. Herbert May. Mrs.
Clarence Mackay and Mrs.
Robert Guggenheim who go
about Washington and else
where unguarded, one can't
see why the safeguarding
Of jewels worn by two wom-
en- who are regularly guard
ed would be any problem.
How did official Capital
women respond to the idea?
The wives of two Republic
can Senators and two Demo-
cratic Senators had some
thing to say.
4 X X
MRS. EVERETT DIRK
SEN, wife of the Minority
Leader of the Senate, said,
MY reaction would be all for
it. Personally, I love beauti-
full jewels and I don't care
how small the pieces are SO
long as they are real. Co.'S
tune jewelry is all right but
for state occasions l think
really fine jewels should be
worn. We should take pride
too in the work of our own
artists"
Mrs. Mike Monroney, wife
of the Democratic Senator
from Oklahoma, was enthusi-
astic. Il think it would be a
wonderful thing for the diff
ferent First Ladies to wear
the same pieces of jewelry.
Each one would have historic
significance"
Mrs. Joe Clark, wife of the
Democrat from PENNSYLVANIA,
chimed in. II think it would
be a very fine idea. Beauti-
full examples of jewelers. art
should be preserved"
Mrs. Bourke Hickenlooper,
wife of the Iowa Republican,
said. II don't know how they

Ilers again roughed the Army
ace, and the ball was placed on

Nonplussed by the attention
he was getting, Anderson car
ried the ball on the next two
plays and SKINNED on tackle
for the last IL yards, bursting
into the end zone standing up.
This time Army also tried for
2 points but failed.
By the middle Of the second
half it was apparent that it
was just a question Of how
large the score was going to be.
AS a prelude, there was an
Alphonse- CASTOR skit in which
Navy lost the ball on a tipped
pass and regained it moment
later on the same freak play.
Bellino, who like Anderson,
stood out on defense as well as
offense, grabbed a ball thrown
by Anderson and returned to
Army's 18. Here, after Brand
quist plunged to the 1-yard line,
Tranchini called Bellino's signal
and Joe bent the Cadet line just
enough. Tranchini, again scorn-
ing the kick, passed toGHyde for
a 2-pointer and it was 1912.

It didn't take Navy long to

touchdown and for the third
straight time passed for 2 more
points, Beck latching onto his
second such aerial.
It was rout now-37 to 12-
