Mellows Vandenberg

Michigan Veteran'Makes One of Rare . 1 Social Appearances at Son's Party By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, May 7—Sen. Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, the elder statesman who has mellowed like an old cheese in the last few years, stood at one of the few parties he has attended in a long time the other night and said he felt like a new man. Sen. Vandenberg’'s life story is a study in the fallibility and contradiction and the strength and weakness of human nature. He is always among the most interesting men in Washington to watch because ‘his story is a real fairy tale, He has an essentially tallowy, romantic nature which was turned to real stature and strength by the pressure of the world. He made one of his rare social ap pearances at a party given by his son, i Arthur Jr, in Georgetown, and said that ever since he announced he wouldn't be a candidate for re-electfon he has felt freed of a great weight. Simply knowing he doesn’t have to face a campaign, he said, is like years lifted from his life, The Senator's wife has been Ill, and the Vandenbergs don’t go around much anymore, but they came to this buffet supper given by the Senator's son, Young Arthur has been his father's executive assistant and right hand man for years. He is breaking away now to go to Brazil to work for

war veteran Gerald Ford (no relation to the Model T.). Arthur Jr., who is unmarried, designed and decorated his Georgetown house. It is a perfect bachelor’s establishment, and all the unattached men in Washington are fighting over it now that he is leaving. It has an enormous living room with dark green walls and bright, splashy, red-rose draperies.

Air Force General Has Eternal Youth

in the basement dining room, Mr. Vandenberg served ham and salad and several hot dishes. It was a small, cozy party. The guests included the other important member of the family, Afr Force Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, Arthur Sr.'s nephew, with his wife, wife. Gen. Vandenberg, like all Air Force officers, has apparently discovered the fountain of youth, He is young looking and lean and handsome, with warm blue eyes. One girl said, regarding him covetously, “If it wers the end of the world you'd like to know he was there.” “Yes her husband sald, “and he'd tell you he'd see you later.” Others present were Sen, Eugene Millikin of Colorado with his wife; the host's fellow Michiganders, Sen. Homer Ferguson with his vivacious wife Myrtle, tnd Washington's Valkyrie, Esther Van Wagoner Tufty, sister of Murray Van Wagoner, military governor of Bavaria and former governor of Michigan.

Compete for Mrs, Truman's Attention No one knows Washington society and Washington guests betten than the servants who serve them, and Mrs, Perle Meats, our foremost administration hostess, says she trusts the judgment of her help more than anything else in estimating people, Mrs. Mesta's butler likes Chief Justice Vinson and Vice President Barkley best of all the giants who come to her parties,

At a luncheon and fashion show given by the Congressional:

Club in honor of Mrs. Truman last week, Mrs. Ernest Gruening, wife of the governor of Alaska, sang the Alaska song, and an even more hilarious note was added when a dress designer named Anna of Vienna extolled the virtues of Hawali in a Viennese accent. The fashion show, presumably dedicated to the styles and products of Alaska, Hawail and the Philippines, turned into a fierce and acrimonious backstage competition between the ladies representing the three states for the attention of the President's

wife, The Hawallans managed to throw a. lei areu h ieat. Lady's neck and the Filipinos pinned a. fl on HT | i The Alaskans were left at the post. he we ‘should build

an igloo,” one of the ladies snapped.

; : INL MAY 8, 1049 Miss Haskett/Mother Takes Up Painting yl iss Haske Wot Sons Are Grown

Mrs. Fred B. Kurtz . . . mother of two grown sons takes up ark By MARJORIE TURK Putting up an easel on a Brown County site is a favorite Hoosier ‘pastime. As soon as the weather is fair, artists take out the old paint box and head for the hills, Brown County painting is a new hobby for Mrs, Fred B. Kurts, 5520 N. Illinois St. She didn’t get started until her two sons were grown and she had the time for long treks into the out-of-doofs.

Mrs. Kurtz first got interested in art when her niece, Miss Elsie Wasson of Oakland City (now Mrs. Jack Bircher, Boonville), came for a visit 20 years ago.

Elsie was an art student and

the two of them went on a, spring outing together to southern Indiana.

Sons Give Paint Box Back in Indianapolis Elsie suggested tht they both paint a picture and Mrs. Kurtz tried her .hand. The following Christmas Mrs. Kurtzs’ sons, Philip Louis and Fred Ertel, gave Mama a paint box—it was her first. , But the North Side doctor's wife didn't have time yet to start a hobby. She took a few lessons with Carl Graf and then became busy being a mother and helping out in school, church and civic activities. Finally five years ago at 55, Mrs. Kurtz decided the time had come. She was going to do what she had always wanted. She started taking lessons at the Herron Art Institute working under Earl Beyer, Edmund Schildknecht and George Jo Mess.

This “spring she had a one-,

man show at the Danner Co. and will be represented in the Indianapolis Art League's June show. in Block's Auditorium.

Her art theory—"nature is so lovely, we should get as much beauty as we can in our work.” A painting she did of a big oak in Holliday Park is her favorite, Dr. Kurtz accompanies his wife on her painting trips. These take. them from Carmel to Mexico. While she stands at her easel, the doctor reads, usually getting caught up on his medical journals.
