GOODNATURED CRACKS
from the politicoes flew
around the table. The Min
nesota host said he was espe-
cially sorry to see the AM
bassador leave because he
had hoped to use him in his
next campaign. Minnesota,
of course, is loaded with
Norwegians. And Paul Koht
said with reference to his
new Bonn Germany post,
and a look at Arkansan Full
bright. 1T will be at the
crossroads of Europe watch
ing the chicken growers.
The Senator chuckled.
Earlier this week, spurTed on
by the French tariff on
American poultry. he at
tackled the French for their
guilt complex about the last
war, and in so doing earned
the label, amateur psychia-
triSt," title Senator Hum
phrey cheerfully reminded
him of at the luncheon.
Senator Fulbright told his
colleagues that between 1948
and 1862 this country sent
SO billion to France, IS bill
lion of it in grants. The
poultry tariff, among other
things, seemed to strike him

America is"
BRITISH PERMANENT
SECRETARY of the Treas
ury Sir William Armstrong
had a good thing to say
about the Profumo-Keeler
scandal Tuesday evening at
a party here. IT'S kept the
people occupied and thus
from interfering with the
economy" he observed drily.
He was at the Bruce
Sundluns' dinner and dance
for 100 friends in honor of
Count and Countess Carac-
ciolo di Forino. Having been
feted at literally dozens of
parties in the past few
weeks. the latter still had
six to go in their remaining
four days in Washington.
Arthur and Marian Schles-
singer were there, Arthur
warning a friend when he
saw guests had gathered
around the swimming pool,
mo funny business, now"
1t was just a year ago that
he was pushed fully clothed
into the Bobby Kennedys'
pool.
The Sundluns had a mar
quee over the dance terrace
and all the tables adjoining,
and another marquee over
more tables on a lower ter
race. A year ago at a similar
party 1t poured buckets so
the marques were essential,
but this time they simply
added to the coziness of the
gathering.
GERALD FORD, the hand

boom and his chances against
President Kennedy, he smiled
