In Political Opinion Polls

' As Soon as the ‘Foregone Conclusion’ Is Realized, the Toasts Will Be in Order

By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, Oct. 30—The capital's Republicans, whose social desirability in this hotbed of politics has been rising with their party's percentage in the public opinion polls, are all set to celebrate the nation’s No. 1

foregone conclusion Tuesday night. Just as soon as the great expectations are realized—and if by some chance they are not, perhaps you know a Democrat who * ——— pune WADLS to buy a few thousand surplus ny bee canapes?--the resident stalwarts of the GOP will choke down a toakt to Thomas E.

Gen. and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower, abandoning that ivory |

Mrs. Ruth Butcher picked up the lunch check for Mamie Eisenhower and a group of girl friends, and the George E. Allens sprang for cocktails. Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Everett 8. Hughes entertained the Bridge and Mah-Jong Club of which the Eisenhowers formerly were active members, and Maj. Gen. and Mrs,

Alfred M. Gruenther planned a repeat performance (same bridgers |

and mah-jongers) for Sunday.

The Ansberrys Are House Hunting

Because the Hungarians Are Moving Col. and Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel Biddle—he’s" the former Ambassador to Poland, etc.—threw a housewarming. They're “here until Christmas. . . . The John Jacob Astors are expected from New York to attend a party which the chairman of the National Security Resources Board and Mrs. Arthur M. Hill plan t6 hold at the Bulgrave ro next Friday. ... Mr. and Mrs. T. Peter Ansberry, local socialites, are house-hunting like mad-—they sold their home, scene of many parties the last four years, to the - Hungarians for théir legation, and the Hungarians want to move in a week from Monday. : Lady Franks, the British Ambassador's wife, asked a polite tion while on duty in the receiving line and got a startling answer. A Canadian officer whom she greeted had the initials WAG on a pocket of his uniform, and she asked what they meant. “Wolf After Girls,” the Canadian dead-panned. Then, with a quick look at his wife, he added: “That was when I was a bachelor. It now means Wireless Air Gunner.”

About 50 potential customers, mostly organizations, have |

looked at-the late Mrs, Evalyn Walsh McLean's home, which is up for sale, but no deal yet. An offer of $225,000 was turned down. The sprawling establishment, which with buildings and yards and gardens fid swimming pool, takes up an entire block in fashionable Georgetown, was for years the scene of Washington's most fabulous parties in the not-too-distant days when. Mrs, McLean was the capital's raucously magnificent social leader.

Republican Women Plan Tea Party

After Election Returns Come In Former Sen. Robert R. Reynolds of Buncombe County, North Carolina, Mrs. McLean's son-in-law and an important heir, is also offering his Asheville, N. C, home for sale at $75,000, the capital hears.

Mrs. ‘Harold H. Burton, wife of the Supreme Court Justice, |

heads the advisory committee for an extraordinary production of “Arsenic and Old Lace,” scheduled to be staged here Nov. 19. All

. 14 of the amateur actors in the cast are blind. They've studied |

their scripts in Braille, and are so perfectly prepared for their roles that they are completely at ease on the stage. Mrs. Burton was active in work for the blind in Cleveland, and this is the Washington continuation of her interest. Profits will be used for recreation of blind persons. Since we opened with a note about the Republicans, ‘we may as well close with one, too, this one on the more sedate side. It is; in fact, about the Republican ladies and a tea party they plan to hold here next Thursday. Guests expected include Mrs. Herbert

Brownell, whose husband managed the Dewey campaign; Mrs. |

Hugh Scott, wife of the Republican national chairman; Mrs. Edward Everett (Dolly) Gann, and many others. Just tea. The republic is safe.
