the New Years week lend is not
overly favorable either in the
Appalachians or in New Eng
land. There has been little
snow for the past two weeks.
Alternate freezing and thaw-
ing made the existing base very
icy. This would be excellent for
q future base course, but Is
generally unsatisfactory as a
skiing surface. The one excep-
ton to this is Shawneeland in
Winchester, Va. which has
placed man-made snow over
the natural base. The five-day
forecast for the Appalachians
indicates a warming trend with
little precipitation. Light snow
is forecast for the New England
area which should improve
skiing conditions.

err, brought Senator Harry
3. Truman as the principal
speaker. LAS I sat there lis
tening to him, I was i'm
pressed by his ability to be at
one with the average man."
In 1945 she gave a party
for Vice President and Mrs.
Truman at the Sulgrave
Club, and later a party in
honor of Margaret Truman
at the former home of the
Herbert Hoovers on S street.
From 1945 on there was no
question as to which hostess
could draw the President of
the United States to her
home.
This she did in 1947.
when President and Mrs.
Truman attended a dinner
party in their honor.
Il knew that since the
days of Evalyn McLean's
parties for Warren Harding,
no President had attended a
social gathering at a private
home, except one belonging
to a cabinet member, the
Vice President or a member
OF his own family. But 1 also
knew that Mr.. Truman liked
fun as much as anyone, and
l saw no reason why he
should be left out of parties
Just because of the precedent
set by his predecessors"
Her hard work to raise
funds to keep the Truman
campaign going in 1948, and
other contributions to the
Democratic Party led to her
being named first United
States Minister to Luxem-
bourg by President Truman.
The going was not easy, as
she writes. Reporters were
skeptical, she ran into op-
position on the Hill and she
got lost en- route to her post.
But by the time Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt visited, her han
ding of her duties, her
mingling with the Luxem-
bourg people, her knowledge
of iron and steel Ouxem-
bourg is the seventh largest
steel-producing country in
the world caused Mrs.
Roosevelt to write: when
Perle Mesta was appointed
to Luxembourg am sure
that many people thought as
l did, that it was a personal
appointment. How little

tragedy. Mrs. Mesta's life,
while it has had its hurts,
has been a happier one.
Today, secure in her posi-
ton, Mrs. Mesta is able to
laugh at herself, and she
does, in the very first chap
ter, entitled "the Mostes
What?"
"At times IN recent years
I have been referred to as
The Hostess With the
MoSteS', a title that has
always puzzled me. The
mostes' what? Some peo-
pie seem to think it is the
mostes' money. but it isn't.
It's certainly not the mostes'
glamor or beauty. Nor is it
the mostes' savoir- -faire. And
I hope that those who call
me the Hostess with the
MoStes are not referring to
my weight"
Although her first mem
orieS are of Texas Calves
tom, she was born in Stur-
ges, Mich, where her
Mother had gone to escape
the summer heat" And she
adds from memory, Mother,
despite her chronic i'll health,

in our family"
In a touching part of the
first chapter she tells how
her mother died. The night

Bond With Father
But as close as she felt to
her mother, she writes: -.
"the bond between my father
and me was even closer. I

Indians, oil wells, the story
of how her father built the

earlier chapters.

was originally planned as a
series of articles to run in
the Post, but when the host

story, it developed into a
book.
But there the similarities
end. Mrs. Mclean wrote of
another period, and told her
story in the '30s, when life
was far different. Mrs. Mesta

ChaIIengedon
Route for 24O

The Committee of 100 on the
Federal City is demanding that
Bertram D. Tallamy, Federal
highway administrator, explain
why Highway 240 cannot be
routed differently.
The committee adopted a
resolution to this effect yester-
day and also came out for the
so-called north central route
for 240 rather than the Wis
consin avenue one.
Traffic on the north central
route would come in from
Pooks Hill via the Circumfer-
ential highway to an inter-
change at Silver Spring and
then parallel the B g. o rail-
road tracks, entering the Dis
trict near the Takoma Park
railroad station. Traffic would
proceed from there to the
Griffith Stadium area, where il
would hook up with the pro-
posed inner loop freeway.
Other Proposal
The other proposal is to bring
traffic in from Pooks Hill on a
six-lane freeway winding back
and forth across Wisconsin
avenue. The Wisconsin avenue
corridor would hook into an
interchange near Tenley circle
at the northern end Of Glover
Archbold Park.
The committee said that the
Wisconsin avenue route is
cheaper to build because il
goes through so much public
land and open space is falla-
cious.
A report adopted by the
committee said Mr.. Tallamy's
only public explanation of his
refusal to consider the north
central route has been that the
Wisconsin one is more direct
The Federal highway law re-
quires that interstate highways
