ABc DobbIes in Art

AS the son and grandson Of
professional artists, ! have al
ways felt that paintings
should be part Of our every
day lives and naturally have
applauded those of our WASH
ington restaurateurs who
decorated their establish
ments with paintings, until
ABC Chief Frank Weakly
handed down his ridiculous
edict.
Congratulations to The
Star for letting so many
voteless citizens raise their
voices over this arbitrary ac-
ton by one Of our appointed
autocrats. Let me add the
following lyrical lament to
the swelling chorus:
Oh. Weakly, by what motiva-
ton
Do you chase the muse in

Oh. rude Philistine, at whose
frown
The barkeeps take their
paintings down,
Why strongly and with arbi-
trary measure
Deny to drinking men
aesthetic pleasure?
You claim that art shows are

even near it.

such things be

1t has been gratifying to
see the mass championship
Of free enterprise rising up
and shifting the ABC Board
for its ban on art sales in
restaurants and bars. To the
occasional hluenose uphold
ing the bureaucratic oppres-
sion exercised by the board,
one may ask: Isn't art a form
Of free speech, as much so
as the daily papers that are
sold in cafes and even in
liquor stores? Aren't the
paintings, etc., as valid mer-
chandise, too. as the breath
killers dispensed in bars? And
what do "drugstores" sell?
Why all the sudden restric-
tons?
San Francisco has at least
three places where food,
hooch and art are happily
blended.
But, of course, San Fran
cisco is emotionally mature.
1t has none of the concen-
trated and bigoted idiocy
with which the National
Capital is afflicted and prob
ably always win be as long
as frustrated chumps over
the Nation unite to try to
compel others to live by their

Whether the climate Of

to do with the success of

1t must be understood that a
body stricken with cancer is
a weakened organism. The
individual thus stricken
should seek rest and a suita-

These requirements are

HOnOrs
Spende1s

Former Australian Ambas-
sador Sir Percy Spender and
Lady Spender. who have been
visiting friends in Washing
ton for the last two weeks,
were the guests in whose
honor Col. and Mrs. M. Rob-
ert Guggenheim entertained
at luncheon yesterday.
Guests also we're invited for
a swim in the Guggenheims'
pool at Firenze. but three
lone swimmers braved the
water in the face of a fast
approaching summer storm!
Finnish Ambassador Seppala,
Mrs. William T. Mann and
Mr.. Harold Coolidge. And in
spite of their bravery, they
too were caught by the rain
and huddled under a lawn
umbrella for protection until
the storm cleared.
Assistant Secretary of De-
tense and Mrs. Finucane have
returned from their ranch at
Hayden Lake, Idaho, and
Mrs. Finucane was assuring
friends that Admiral Sir
Michael Denny and Lady
Denny were all right follow
ing what might have been a
very serious accident in
Idaho. The Dennys, travelling
south from Banff, Alberta.
were on their way to lunch
con at the Finucane ranch
when the accident occurred.
Although the car was demol-
ished. both Sir Michael and
Lady Denny were only shaken
up and bruised a bit.
Mrs. Finucane had also
called Mrs. Eric Johnston in
Spokane and invited her to
luncheon, but Mrs. Johnston,
too, had been the victim of
an auto accident. Although
she is now wearing a back
brace, she also is recuperat-
ing nicely.
The Spenders. who have
been entertained at a wide
variety of parties since their
return. left yesterday for New
York to visit their son. After
that they will leave for
Australia and back to The
Hague, where Sir Percy sits
on the World Court, in
September.

there and swore he had no
notion who would succeed
Lewis Strauss as Secretary of
Commerce.
MOST SURPRISIN
SIGHT at the gay dancing
reception was Republican
Senator Ken Heating intro
ducing Democrat Frank Ho-
gan. the man he defeated in
the New York race, and Mrs.
Hogan to his Washington
friends. Both Mr.. Hogan and
Bill Rogers once worked in
New York District Attorney
Tom Dewey's office, and
when Frank Hogan succeeded
Dewey, Bill Rogers stayed on
in the Office. Hence the Ho-
ganS were close enough
friends to come to Washing
ton just for the wedding.
Most unexpected sound was
the sudden bursting into song
of the groom's fraternity
brothers singing the Alpha
Delt's sweetheart song to
Dale. The Attorney General
almost burst with pride. His
only daughter graduated from
Cornell summa cum laude
and Phi Beta Kappa. In ad-
dition to that. she headed the
orientation program for the
whole university. A truly in
dependent thinker, she regis

When all the guests had
gone, Mrs. MeSta and her CO.
workers OF the NWP sat in
a circle and compared notes
on the reactions of the gen.
tlemen from Capitol Hill to
their amendment. And the
more they compared the more
determined they became to
open up a truly high-powered

Perle Mesta gave the Equal
Rights for Women Amend
ment a boost last evening by
tossing a party at the ma
tional headquarters Of the
organization that's been
working for it since 1918, the
National Women's Party.
Scene Of the buffet supper
was the beautiful red brick
Alva Belmont House. on
Capitol Hill. which is even
older than the feminist move
ment itself which began July
10. l848. Said by some to be
the oldest house in Washing
ton, part Of it was built in
1890, the main part 100 years
later.
It's said it was from this
house that the only shot was
fired against the British in
Washington in the War Of
1912. 1t could be that the
second shot from the house
was fired last night in the
NWP's war against male in
difference.
For seated in the spacious
old brick-paved garden were
a number Of legislators. They
sat at the table that sur
rounded the gaily striped
marquee over the buffet table.
They came because Mrs.
Mesta invited them. but how
many of them are for re-
moving the discriminatory
clauses against women that
labor Endorses is another
question.
Said Senator Clinton An
derson. The Hayden rider
has killed the amendment
every time and it will prob
ably do it again" The Hay
den rider is a gallant-sound-
ing clause that supposedly
provides certain protective
and health legislation for
women workers but in real
ity simply makes women less
valuable to an employer.
An example of how this
works is in New York State.
According to one of the
guests, women walters are
so limited by law in the hours
they can work that men wait
ers have a virtual monopoly
evenings, when the tips are
large. But there is no kick
about the hours charwomen
work. 1t isn't lucrative enough
for men.

SENTATIVE KATHERINE

explained, is to say that

duced by the president Of the

Winter Park. Fla, to stand
in the receiving line with

later recounted to a small
group the fascinating story
of how she helped picket the
White House for women's
suffrage. and was put in
jail on Bastille Day, July IA,
1917, and how husbands and
lawyers f1ocked to the jail to
beg the distaff prisoners to
accept pardon. She recalled
that when they had to put
on Jail uniforms and give
their trinkets to the matron.
