Newsmen A Unique, Wonderful Breed

By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— After 23 years of “mothering" newsmen, Alice Longworth still thinks they are a unique and wonderful breed. Mrs. Longworth is retiring this week from her job with the Indianapolis Press Club and will be star of “Queen Alice Night” Thursday at the club, o 0 Modern Etiquette I By Roberta Lea I o —-o Q. I’ve been asked to serve as a bridesmaid, and the bride has selected an outfit whose style and color are definitely unbecoming to me. Since I’m to pay for this outfit, I don’t think this is fair. What can I do about it? A. Since you have consented to serve, you must conform to the bride's wishes. This is not an unusual situation, and later you can have the dress dyed and altered. But so far as the wedding is concerned, the bride’s wishes are law! Q. When eating a soft fried egg, is it all right to put a small piece of bread on the end of the fork and use this to dip up the yolk? A. Quite all right and practical, too. Q. Is it proper to have one’s telephone number engraved on one’s personal stationery? A. Never. Q. I am a widow of 10 years and have been wearing my original wedding ring. Now I have just become engaged .to marry again, and have been presented with a new ring. Should I discard by old wedding ring? A. Yes, in all fairness and consideration for your new husband-to-be. Q. I’m a girl who drives her own car. I have been asked to attend a country club dance with a young man who does not own a car. Would it be all right for me to suggest that we use my car? A. This sounds like a good and practical idea to me. Q. Is the best man supposed to shoulder the expenses of the ‘bachelor dinner” ni honor of the bridegroom? A. No; the best man makes all the arrangements for the party — but the bridegroom picks up the check. Q. My girl friend and I attended the wedding of a friend recently, and immediately at the conclusion of the ceremony my friend rushed up to the bride and kissed her. Was this proper of her? A. No. It revealed a lack of consideration and good taste. A bride’s parents and relatives should be the first to confer this bit of affection upon her.

When she first began her work * with the capital city newsmen she was a part-time waitress and in the years since has served as cashier, hostess, food manager and co-manager. “It has been a wonderful and rewarding experience,” Alice said of those 23 years. “News people are a breed all their own. If you didn’t understand them, the ways they think and what they eat, you couldn’t get along with them.’’ Hamburger Is Favorite Asked what it was newsmen most liked to eat, Alice conceded that “a hamburger in a hurry" was the most frequent order she has heard in her years of serving food at the club. The tendency of newsmen to make equals out of everybody is one of the traits Alice most has appreciated. “All kinds of people come to the club," she said. “There was a prince here once, and lots of famous people. But I like the news people because they made you feel like somebody." Next to the journalistic breed, Alice likes legislators best. “During the legislature the club was almost,a second home to me," she recalled of the biennial sessions during which the lawmakers spent many hours at the club. “My children and my grandchildren have been pages, in the Senate for Roy Conrad. (Sen. Roy Conrad R-Monticello. I have so many good friends on both sides I don’t dare get mixed up in politics," she added. “I have a hard time choosing when it comes time to vote." She is proud that people like Governor Schricker (former Indiana Democratic Gov. Henry Schricker) and Barbara Handley (wife of a former Republican governor; always call me by name." Although Roanoke, Va., was her birthplace and Dayton, Ohio, her former residence, Alice regards Indianapolis as her only home. She moved to Indianapolis in 1936 and her two sons, Nick, a news photographer, and Richard, a printer, both live here, as do her five grandchildren.- ' •■■■" During her 23 with the Press Club, the institution has grown from about 450 members to 900 and moved Into plush quarters atop a downtown office building. “I know I can’t get through Thursday night without a crying towel,” Alice said. “I expect to be working though, even if it is my birthday. People will want to be served."

Argentina Shows Economic Growth

By PHIL NEWSOM UP! Foreign News Analyst Despite continuing labor unrest and considerable public grumbling, Argentina seems to be making a start toward solving some of the massive problems which have plagued it since the days of the dictatorship of Juan D. Peron. Interestingly, it is doing so under a government frequently accused of being a “do nothing” regime but one whose policies of moderation and avoidance of the dramatic seem to have been the medicine the Country needed. Under affable President Arturo Illia, a country doctor who gave up pills for politics, the country this year is expected to show a 5.9 per cent increase in gross national product, a respectable figure anywhere. As opposed to years of. disastrous trade deficits, this year will see a balance of payments surplus in excess of $270 million. Unemployment among a labor force of eight million is down to around 500,000 as compared to 700.000 a year ago. Backed by this evidence of returning economic health, the Illia government now Seeks $1.5 billion in private and govern-

ment credits to finance a fiveyear development program which includes power projects and modernization of her decrepit, nationally • owned railway system. The World Bank is reported to have agreed in principle to credits of SIOO million a year and the Inter-American Development Bank is said to have promised another SSO million a year toward such projects as sanitation and low-cost housing. One objective would be to wipe out the "villas miserias," the miserable shanty towns of muddy streets and shacks thrown together from boxes, gunny sacks and scrap metal in which an estimated 200,000 to 500,000 residents of Buenos Aires are forced to live. Illia has conceded that his is a country of many “isms,” and these isms, whether Peronism, nationalism or what not, could lead the i>eople either to the extreme right or left. But for the nation as a whole things are looking up. It is worth noting that Argentine is charting its economic course without much regard for the Alliance for Progress. lllia’s nationalistic People’s Radical party fears that the alliance would encroach upon Argentine sovereignty.
