Daughters Chalk Up Record
With Early Christmas Party
By FRANCES LIDE
Star Staff Writer

As Mrs. Robert v. H. Dun
can, their president general
pointed out last night, it's
been said that the Daughters
Of the American Revolution
can do anything.
"And now" she exclaimed,
''you've put Christmas before
THANKSGIVING"
And It was true.
The State Officers Club
Of the District OAR turned its
annual fall dinner into what
was probably the first Christ
mas party Of the season-an
innovation that soon had
everybody in q gay holiday
mood.
Red candles glowed from
the head table, q reindeer
was poised over the podium
and the souvenir programs,
decorated with Santa, also
carried the promise that
Santa Claus Is Coming To
Town"
30 Traditions Recalled
Mrs. Duncan, who was
honor guest and speaker,
evoked the appeal Of
Christmas as she recalled
some Of the traditions with
which the holiday is cele-
brated in different countries.
Germany, she pointed out,
Is credited with introducing
the Christmas tree to the
world. And 1t first made its
debut in England, she related,
when Prince Albert, who was
Queen Victoria's German
born husband, set up q tree
for their little daughter,
Princess Victoria.
oddly enough" she noted,
"the trimmed Christmas tree
didn't become popular in
England, however, until after
its acceptance in the United
States"
It is from Holland, she
recalled, that Santa Claus
came to America. And Christ
mas in England, she contin-
ued, Is associated with plum
pudding, the Yule log and
strolling carolers.
Despite the differences in
customs, legends and mode
OF celebration, however, per
haps more human beings
share a common. communal
feeling about Christmas than
any other single subject in
the world" she declared.
Means Many Things
&C hristma a. may mean
many things to many people
possibly some very different
things" she continued. "And
yet, it also means much the
same thing to all people.
Family, loved ones, health,
happiness, hopes, enduring
friendship-thesel are a part
OF the universal thought and
feel Of Christmas wherever
consciousness Of it exists"
Mrs. Richard Laid, retiring
president Of the club, pre-
sided at the dinner, which
was held at the Sheraton
Park Hotel, but turned the
gavel over to her successor
before the evening was over.
The new president, Mrs.
Leonidus McDougle, and
other new officers, were in
stalled by the chaplain, Mrs.
Norman Smith.

I'VE believe that the SOW

This warning against "in-

essence of the Monroe Doc
trine. For more than 135
years, the United States has
pledged that it would con-
slider any attempt on the

taking note of the fact that
the Communist system al
ready has been extended to
Cuba. doesn't denounce the
Soviets. The United States
is evidently pledged only to
prevent extension Of Com

Latin American countries.
This is an important con-
cession to the Moscow gov

over Cuba completely as a

sense, the main part Of the
Monroe Doctrine has been
brushed aside.

liberal extremists, outside and

wish more to inflame and

WILLIAM S. WHITE

Not often does any book
become an issue In public
policy. raising questions so
profound as to become itself
both a part and a symbol Of
national affairs and of ma
tional debate.
When such a book does
arise it is high political news.
And such is Allen Drury's
new novel, "a Shade of Diff
ference" 1t is a moving and
agonizing study of a tragic
domestic problem which has
become also a greatly-and
sometimes cynically - ex-
plotted problem in the United
Nations. This is the problem
Of race relations in our coun-
try.
"A Shade of Difference"
appears Just as the U.N. Cen
eral Assembly is in its 18th
session in New York. And
this gaunt, shining building
on the East River is Drury's
principal scene.
Many critics, notably a GER
tain kind of liberal critic,
denounced Drury's first book,
"A dvise and Consent"
though it won a not trifling
honor, the Pulitzer Prize in
letters, and though it became
one Of the best-sellerS of all
time.
No doubt there were many
faults in the novel. Still, it
was difficult to understand
how its detractors could be
so wise and its horde of de-
tenders, including the Pulit-
ger committee, so unwise. In
deed. the more one examined
the matter, the more it ap-
peared that to the liberal
critics Mr.. Drury's real sin
has not been that of artistic
failure but rather that of
thinking wrong political
thoughts.
He had depicted some Of
his most attractive charac-
ters as conservative and some
Of his least attractive as lib
eral - again, a certain kind
of liberal, that kind who will
tolerate no dissent from his
own views, not even in a
work of fiction.
Already. now that Mr..
Drury'S No. 2, "A Shade of
Difference" has appeared in
print, the fretful distaste for
No. from this certain kind
OF liberal has been trans
formed into implacable hos
tility toward No. 2. Il say a
