These and similar uues-

COW every day Of the week
by Mrs. Rose G. Ernsberger,
a Russian-speaking nurse
officer in the United States
Public Health Service, who
spent her summer as an ex-
pert on American public
health practices at the Amer
lean National Exhibition In
Moscow.
Energetic, serious Mrs.
Ernsberger had her hands
full because the very SIC
cessful exhibition enjoyed a
daily attendance Of some
10000 eager Russians, hun
dreds of whom fiocked to
the public health exhibit to
see and hear about medicine
In America.
Array Of Questions
Mrs. Ernsberger. whose
home is in Bethesda, found
herself answering a bewild-
ering array of questions
about American treatment of
cancer, heart disease, hyper
tension, bronchial asthma,
tuberculosis, stomach ulcers
and almost every other illness
known to exist.

Washington society will
buzz for weeks over the bril-
liant debut dance Mr.. and
Mrs. Randolph Kidder and
her mother. Mrs. Elbridge
Gerry Chadwick, gave Satur-
day night for their daughter
and granddaughter.
Handsome brunei Charlotte
Kidder made her bow at the
biggest and most exciting
ball any one debutante has
had in several seasons.
Nine hundred and fifty
people attended, and they
came from New York, Canada
and even Paris, France.
They found the Mayflower
Hotel Ballroom and Chinese
Room aflame with red ostrich
plumes and red drapery, and
the gold Napoleon III decor
of the ballroom regilded to
create a dramatic effect SIM
liar to the plush elegance of
the Paris Opera. 1t was deco
rated by New York Designer
Valerian Rybar.
THEY DANCED FROM
1880 UNTIL ) in the morn
ing to Meyer Davis full
orchestra. led by the maestro
himself. The music never
ceased and it was never more
inspired. During the entire
612 hours, the 72-year-old
orchestra leader, who also had
played for Diana Hardin's
dinner dance preceding the
ball. was seen taking only one
rest period. He was scheduled
to play for another party in
Chicago last night.
Both Mrs. Kidder and her
daughter wore gowns from
Paris. where the Kidders are
currently making their home.
Randy is Counselor at the
American Embassy there.
The debutante wore a
white satin embroidered
dress by Lanvin, while her
mother was gowned in a red
sheath designed by Jacques
Griffe, which matched the
red ostrich plumes that re-
gally topped the draped cloth
of gold backdrop to the re-
ceiving line in the Chinese
Room. Accenting her dress
were platinum, gold and
jeweled earrings made for
her in Paris and sculptured
to the ears, plus a matching
choker clip.
BUT THE SCENE IN THE
BALLROOM was even more
elegant. The entrance to the
room and every box in both
upper and lower tiers were
framed with red faille dra-
perieS caught up with golden
tassels. Every table in every
box was covered with a red
and gold Fortuny type print
and centered with gold can
delabra holding red candles
and entwined with gold and
red leaves.

CANT touch Of all was the

rich plumes that curled up

Philips plans for the future
are fairly tentative. He

being. But I think I should

He was to leave for New

came so fast II didn't even
believe it myself" Philip said
in an interview Saturday.
But it can come easily and
go easily. I try not to think
about it."
He works less furiously
now. he said, but with more
thought and discipline. Older
artists in Paris, friends of his
parents, act as informal tu-
tors, giving advice on the
technical aspects of painting.
Occasionally, one or an
other will point out that his
style, which is expressionistic,
strong and simple, is chang
ing in some respect. And
then I will notice it." he re-
marked.
Avoids Formula
Like all artists, especially
those who have won recogni-
tion, he has to guard against
being too conscious, falling
into a formula" as he calls
it. That's why I like draw
ing very late at night. Then
one draws half uncon-
sciously."
He doesn't believe in abb
stract art, he says, because
the artist must keep repeat
ing himself. Unless you re-
peat, nobody will understand
that these we're all painted
by you. Viewers won't recog-
nize the style"
He added, But I can un-
derStand that some painters
wouldn't find satisfaction in
figurative art"
Though never an art stud
ent, the young painter has
been drawing since he was a
little boy. Teachers at st.
Adams School here doubtless
remember the lad named
Philip who was always "dood-
ling" in class. Il suppose, he
said, that's why my grades
weren't very good"
In those days, he said, II
was always drawing very
badly. I never did what I
wanted. And it made me un-
happy"
Lacked Confidence
He was shaky about his
early success with oils. II
didn't want to sell any of the
paintings" he said. Il was
afraid I could never do an
other one like this.
But now I feel they're
even more mine when they
belong to someone else. You
know, when you do something
you like you want to show it
to somebody. And he likes
it, and you want to show it
to somebody else. Well, I
feel my paintings are spread
ing out and getting more con-
tact"

of forming such a delegation are very
slight. However there seems to be gen.
eral agreement on one thing-if dele
CATION is to be sent, it should be composed
of not more than four people.
The National Community Relations Ad-
visory Council, which is attempting to
bring coordination and dignity into any
planned Jewish meeting with Khrushchev,
seems to be also interested in clarifying
the questions to be presented to Mr.
Khrushchev In this area also, unity is
necessary, if any positive achievements
are anticipated The general sentiment
seems to be not to raise with KhrushcheV
the issue of permitting Soviet Jews to
emigrate to Israel.
The raising of this issue, it is argued,
would only bring in Israel and Zlonlsm
into the discussion with KhrushcheV ana
could spoil rather than improve matters.
Thus. it is suggested that, II and When
meeting with Khrushchev does take place,
emphasis should be laid primarily on re-
storation of Jewish cultural rights IN the
Soviet Union and on the abolishment OF
ton and in government services Also on
demanding equal religious freedom for
Jews, comparable with the rights enjoyed
by other nationalities in Russia.
The question of emigration from the
Soviet Union-it is recommendation
be discussed in general way, and not IN
terms of "let my people go" From what
I gather, the American Jewish Committee,
which is not affiliated with the National
Community Relations Advisory Council
has so far not been approached by the
NCRAC on joint planning and action with
regard to Khrushchev
However, all indications point to the
fact that the NCRAC will make every pos
sible effort to bring the American Jewish
Committee also into the picture. Whether
the AJC will agree on joint delegation
will probably depend on the composltlon
of such a delegation.
