. Past Week Foreshadows Social Pattern Of Capital As Truman Takes Over

aN By ELISE MORROW ; ' WASHINGTON] Jan, 22—One of the funniest paradoxes of Inaugural Week was the spectacle of Society Maestro Meyer Davis, the rich man's band man, playing 0 the sweating proletariat at the poor man's party of the

Inauguration celebration. "Mr. Davis played at the five-dollar, no-invitation-necessary,

here and rather thoroughly ignored by the Democratic Party aristocracy, while his usual Washington customers —Cabinet members, society, etc.— danced to Goodman, Cugat, etc, at t h & 10-dollar-a-head-plus-invitation ball at the local armory. y Meyer didn’t care—so long as he ‘was able to preserve his tradition of ‘having played, in some capacity, at every Inaugural since Harding's. He thought for a while he wouldn't make it at all at this one, since his record of having had charge of the music at the Republican Convention last June was a strike against him in some Democratic circles, Meyer, a strictly-for-husiness man, is as non-political as a tuba; he played at numberless White House parties for the Roosevelts, and lately was heard to mutter into his beard, when some

» J Republicans Set Precedent, Now Take Dim View of Hoopla THE HANKIE-PANKIE and undercurrents and , peculiar politics of the whole Inaugural would fill a volume. The In- : auguration story should go down in history as one of the most . curious American spectacles, its pattern set originally by the i Republicans, who never dreamed that the Democrats would be carrying it to its gaudy fulfillment.

when he said, testily, that the whole thing was taking on the characteristics of a Roman holiday. It certainly was, but the Republicans are at least partly re. . sponsible for it, and no one wished more than the Truman family that last week could have been handled with more simplicity.

This -Indugural conflict mirrors the larger Washington society picture of how social life will shape up under the Demo.crats, as opposed to how everyone thought ‘it would develop with the Repu ascendant behind the martini shaker, and tea table and in the receiving line. . ‘There was a deathless from one of the local gossiisos, who remarked before the election that: “Now that we h the Republicans coming back, entertaining will be much less slip-shod and more dignified.” All in all, the new Congress appears to have more of the working-type legislator, and less of :the party-boy variety. The Truman approach to social life, in spite of the gaudy Inaugural, will remain much as it has for the past three years simple and conventional. And, of course, the diplomats will go on forever,

She had one Republican to call; so she rang his office. Congressman answered the phone himself. “Sure,” he said, “come ‘on over. Got lots of time. Nothing much going on this week.” Social footnote: One sure social success in the new Congress is Utah's Congresswoman Reva Beck ‘Bosone. Rep. Bosone, who to be a police court judge, has numerous talents, including mimicry, and her imitation of a drunk, complete with hiccoughs and glassy eyes, has already won the Capital at parties.
