NOTEBOOK
Dior Collection to Winq
Its Way to Washington

A fashion first for WASH
ington is set for the 10th of
October when the Christian
Dior Paris collection will be
flown over to be presented
at The French Embassy.
Mrs. Herve Alphand, wife
of the French Ambassador
entertained yesterday at
luncheon in the Embassy and
revealed some sof the gala
plans for the Ecole Franchise
international benefit cock
tail fashion show.
I'VE first discussed this
with Mr.. Jacques Rouet, head
of Dior, and Chief Designer
Marc Bohan when they were
here for lunch last Spring.
Mrs. Alphand said.
They all agreed it would
be wonderful for Washing
ton to see a French collection
early enough in the season
to really be newsmaking.
Next Spring Mrs. Alphand
may be embarked upon an
other fashion project for the
entire French couture. Then
we hope to have another
benefit with about four or
five originals from each fa-
nous couturier."
Ten top Dior mannequinS,
including the exotic EuraSian
model Alla-Laurence, Mick
ey, Muriel, Francine, Kouka,
Denise, Valery, Simone and
Edwina-will be coming to
Washington with the collec-
tion. Designer Bohan will also
fly to Washington for the
show.
Mrs. Alphand revealed that
the servants dining room will
be converted into a dressing

Think of what a tremen-
dous blow to fashion it would
have been, if the Metropoli-
tan Opera hadn't been sched-
uled this season." Mr.. Monte
Sano insists.
Visibility is another factor
that contributes to a city's
pride of look" as he calls it,.
In New York, Paris, and San
Francisco there are fine res.
taurants, opera, theater, art,
shows, all places where
women can be seen against
the right background" he
says.
Washington? We've got
everything, he thinks. An ele-
CANT First Lady to set the
tone if not the fashion;
events that make front page
news; theater; opera; gallery
openings galore, and visibility
all over the place. We haven't
reached the stage yet, in our
city, however, where each
woman feels a personal re-
sponsibility about putting her
best fashion foot forward to
give Washington a reputa-
tion for being well dressed"

ing to help press and to dress
the Partisan beauties in their
Dior originals.
There's more to a fashion
show than meets the eye, the
French Ambassadors wife
noted. Her luncheon guests
observed she was wearing the
new black alligator square
toed pumps with a tiny gilt
chain going over the instep.
She got them on her recent
trip to Paris.
The fashion show will be
presented throughout most of
the rooms on the first floor of
the Embassy. The benefit is
set for $50 pm. with the
Dior show at 6 pm.
Invitations, Mrs. Alphand
noted, have been sent to 'shus-
bands and wives" a rather
new note in the annals Of
Washington fashion show
history. This ought to delight
any number of men who are
forever complaining, well, I
have to pay for them" after
their wives return from a
fashion luncheon.
Among the guests present
at yesterdays luncheon we're
Mrs. Pierre Pelen, wife of the
Minister; Mrs. Jean Claude
Winckler, and Mrs. Jean
Baube, whose husbands are
both counselors at the En-
bassy.
WHAT A CITY-Vincent
Monte-Sano thinks San Fran.
cisco rates all the fashion
raves it receives from foreign
visitors, fashion personalities,
and whoever happens to
observe the fashion phenom-
enon of a city whose women
are beautifully well-dressed
and well-groomed.
In San Francisco women
expect the compliments they
receive, what's more they
deserve them," he says.
How does a city gain such
a fashion reputation. Says
New York's great coat and
Suiter, "it'S on the order of
the Paris fashion legend that
has been going on for CEN
turies. In San Francisco it's
a living legend to have it's
women be cited for their
= good taste.
Any city, says Mr.. Monte
Sano, can create a fine
fashion reputation. Take New
Orleans, those women have
their own special kind Of
look"
Weather, he feels, has a
lot to do with the way women
look. San FranciSco's climate
is perfect for coats and suits,
it's true. But take Dallas.
Women there live under hot,
humid conditions, worse
than Washington" and they
don't hide behind that as an
excuse.
Other elements are also
needed to create a city of
chic including attractive
women. Money must be
present with which to buy
new fashions. Fine stores who
dare the new, but always
present it in the best taste
are a part of such a city.
One thing Mr.. Monte -Sano
has noticed is that in San
Francisco, women never take
their fashion position at the
top, for granted.
He believes culture and fine
fashion are definitely tied to-
gether.

Democrats Chief
In New York Says
He Won't Resiqn
NEW YORK. Mar. IA ZAP

NEW YORK. Mar. IA (AP)
Democratic State Chairman
Michael H. PrendergaSt says
he intends to serve out at
least my full term, which runs
until 1862"
The statement came about
the same time the speculation
spread in Washington that
Peter ]. Crotty, Erie County
(Buffalo) party leader and a
labor lawyer, is a favorite of
President Kennedy for State
chairman if party leaders force
out Mr.. Prendergast at a meet
ing March %.
The speculation arose after
Mr.. Crotty conferred with the
President at the White House
for is minutes yesterday.
The Kennedy administration
is said to want Mr.. PrendergaSt
replaced as State chairman.
And Democrats in the State
have been complaining that
Mr.. Prendergast and Carmine
DeSapio, Democratic national
committeeman and leader of
Tammany Hall, the Manhattan
party organization, are not get

rided Mr.. Kennedy as a cap
tive of monopolies" and called
the Presidents supposed al
lance for progress a historical
joke which intends to be a
continental joke"
Mr.. Castro said barely two
years ago the Yankee empire
did not remember (Latin)
America existed" He said the
Cuban revolution and leftist
advances in Latin America had
awakened the United States.
To-day they are filled with
inquietude," he said, mot for
the well-being of America but
because Of fear Of losing Amer
ica."
In an open challenge to the
Kennedy program, he declared:
THE cowardly giant feels
weak in the face Of the rea-
son and the prestige of small
people and says the problem is
a problem Of all America. And
we say that the problem of
Cuba with the United States is
not a problem Of Cuba with
the United States but a problem
of all Latin America with the
United States"
The Cuban leader called the
$500 million United States aid
program for Latin America
aims" and said the only way
for these countries to better
their economic lot is to rescue
their natural riches"
How have we been able to
give in two years what MIR.
Kennedy offers Latin America
for a time which never comes?
Simply because we've booted
all the Yankee monopolieS out
OF here" he declared.
Mr.. Castro lavished praise
on the Soviet Union and pre-
dicted the Russian standard of
living would surpaSs that of
the United States within 10
years.

A thousand or so university

Four students were arrested,

issuing tens of thousands of

United States tourists annually,
with a multiplicity of common
United States-Mexican trade

CubanS concentrate much of

Economy is Sound
Mexico is one of the bright
spots of Latin America in many
respects. The capital has a
bright. hopeful look and huns
with an energy seldom encoun-
tered elsewhere in Latin Ameri-
ca. MeXico'S economy is sound,
its currency strong, its pros
poets encouraging.
Most Mexican labor unions
are headed by strongly anti
Communist leadership. The
Confederation of Labor itself
is a stabilizing influence in
Mexican politics. The Com
munists have practically no
strength in trade union leader
ship-with one exception. This
is the National Union of Edu-
cation Workers, embracing all
Education Ministry workers
outside the university, both in
the state and federal school
systems.
The Mexican Confederation
of Labor leadership disagreeS
with the charge that the teach
ers' union is Communist-d dom
mated. But at leas six mem
bers of its 18-member national
executive are known Commu-
nistS. 1t is the only Mexican
union affiliated with the Com
munist World Federation of
Trade Unions.

ment program for Latin Amer
lea and Mr.. Kennedy's express
sion of hope that the people
Of Cuba will soon rejoin the
society Of free men, uniting
with us in our common effort" F"
Mr.. Castro quickly inter-
preted the Kennedy program,
outlined to Latin American
diplomats at a White House re-
ception, as a call for a revolt
against his regime and struck
back with this warning:
IF they promote revolution
against us, we viii promote
revolution against the govern
ments which promote revolu-
ton against u.s."
Charges U. S. Aggression
Mr.. Castro linked his attack
on the Kennedy administration
with a fresh charge of aggres-
sion by the United States. He
said the United States had sup
piled counter = revolutionaries
with an armed ship that shot
UP the nationalized Texaeo oil
refinery at Santiago before
dawn yesterday.
The government controlled
press and radio said the ship
probably sped to q refuge at
the United States naval base
at Guantanamo Bay after fir
ing shots that killed a Cuban
sailor, wounded a militiaman
and set fire to an atmospheric
tower at the refinery and pune
tured three tanks.
Officials at the naval base,
As miles east of Santiago, de-
MED the vessel had taken refuge
at the base.
Mr.. Castro fumed with an
ger in a three-hour postmid-
night speech before q rain
drenched crowd around the
steps of Havana University.
While the crowd was gathering
a bomb exploded in the Vedado
district branch of the Cuban
National Bank. No one was
hurt.
Praises Communists
Mr.. Castro charged that
armed attacks on Cuba had in
creased since Mr.. Kennedy took
over the presidency. He show
cred his warmest praise yet on

There is every evidence that
activities of the two embassies,
less than two blocks apart on
the Calzada Tacubaya, are
carefully co-ordinated, and that
the Russians are the unqueS-

Mr.. Portuondo now is the
leading spokesman for Fidel
Castro and Castroism in Latin
America. He attacks the job
