EXCLUSIVELY YOURS
Press Women to Fete
HiHP Freshmen

II you notice q bit Of a
lull these few days between
Christmas and New Years,
take advantage of 1t. Take
deep-breathing walks in the
brisk air, get nine hours sleep
every night and eat sensibly.
For, beginning with the new
year, things will be really
popping.
Coming up are the Spanish
Ambassadors brilliant dance
New Years Eve which will
definitely last into 1868; the
invitation-only merican
premiere Of Her Majesty's
Royal Shakespeare Company
in THE Hollow Crown"
which Mrs. Kennedy and
members Of the Presidents
cabinet are sponsoring on
Monday, the 7th in the State
Department Auditorium.
Also, a farewell party on
the 4th by Chilean AmbasS-
ador to the GAS and Mrs.
Trucco for retiring Chielan
Ambassador and Mrs. Walter
Muller whose departure will
eliminate from the Washing
ton scene one Of the hand
soonest and most distin-
guished looking couples ever
to grace Embassy Row, and
several embassy receptions.
But nothing will stir up the
town like the return Of Con-
gress on the 9th, and when
the boys land girls) arrive,
thanks to the Women's Ma
tional Press Club, they really
arrive with a bang.
THE PRESS WOMEN are
tossing their annual dinner
that evening for the new
Members Of Congress and not
in years has there been more
interest in one Of these star
studded congressional to-do's.
The reason Is that all new II
Senators (eight Democrats
and three Republicans) will
be on display plus the two
most Noteworthy new Rep
resentatives.
In case you have forgotten
who the victors were on No
vember 6, here are the fresh
men lawmakers who will be
called to their feet that eve
ming to answer questions in
two minutes. Of they talk
longer than that. the spot
light on them will turn blue
and everybody will know, in
GLIDING themselves. Veteran
politicians have a tough time
terminating q talk; we'll see
what the freshmen can do.)
The Democrats are Edward
Kennedy, Abe Ribicoff, Birch
Bayh pronounced Buy
who upset the supposedly en-
trenched Republican Homer
Capehart; Daniel Brewster,
our Maryland neighbor;
George McGovern, who head
ed Food for Peace before he
successfully tested his popu-
larity with the South Dakota
electorate; Gaylord Nelson,
former Governor Of Wiscon-
sin; Thomas Mcintyre, that
rare breed-a Democratic
Senator from New Hamp-
shire, and Daniel Inouye Of
Hawaii.
The Republican Senators
are Tom Dominick of Colo
RADIO, Milward Simpson Of
Wyoming and Edwin Mechem
Of New Mexico. The news
worthy House freshmen,
both Republicans, are Robert
H. Taft, jr., Of Ohio, and the
only new woman member Of
the 18th Congress, attractive
Charlotte Reid Of Illinois, a
former professional singer.
Vice President johnson will
also be on the peppery pro-
gram that evening. He will
have a choice opportunity I
hope he takes full advantage
Of. He will warn the new
Of Congress about
women Of the press!
POETRY AND DIPLO-
MACY are becoming more
interlocked daily. Why? I
wouldn't know. But three
foreign ambassadors here are
noted poets in their own
countrieS-Greek Ambassador
Alexander MatSas. Syrian
Ambassador omar Abou
Richie. and Iranian Ambassa-
dor HoSsein Ghods Nahkai.
The latter was Ambassador
to London for four years be-
fore coming TO Washington
and although The Rubaiyat
Of Ghods Nakhai" had already
been published in Holland,
the Am bassador himself
banned the book from Eng
land while he served there.
THE book will not be
available in Britain until
move elsewhere" he explained
upon his arrival in Britain In
