Airmen, Marines Have Flashiest Uniforms
Columnist Names
2 Air Force Men on ‘Most Handsome’ List
By ANDREW TULLY, Scripps-Howard Staff Writer A WASHINGTON, May 14-1¢ it keeps up, the glories of old Vienna will have nothing on Washington. Not only do the military services stumble all over one another trying to wheedle extra bil-
lions out of Congress, but they're
also having a uniform contest.
So far, the prizes for the prettiest soldier suits belong to the Air Force and the Marine Corps, whose outfits make those old Graus-
tarkian heroes look like substitute cops. The Air Forces’ bright blue will blind you fastest, but the Marines’ job is really the fanclest. It’s a deep blue, but makes up for that by all the braid, brass buttons apd, the curlicues on the cuffs. As if that didn't have the Army and Navy gna their fingernails up to the elbows, a local society columnist picked two Air Force men and one former Air Forcer on her list of the 10 handsomest cusses in town. They are Secretary for Afr 8tu Symington, Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg and Undersecretary of Commerce Sonny Whitney, who used to be Assist"ant Becretary for Air. Nobody from any of the other services! even got honorable mention,
Tower of Babel
A GAL REPORTER who'd covered the embassies here for a jong time wanted to return some of the hospitality, so she gave a cocktail party for about a dozen assorted attaches from the foreign settlement. 8he hired a veteran bartender and bought ‘some suitably exotic hors d'oeuvres and figured the party couldn't miss. Well, sir, chaos was the word for it. Turned out none of the guests could speak a language any of the others understood, so the evening developed into the most amazing exhibition of plain and fancy sign language and shoulder shrugging since that famous mixup at Babel, ” = » It must be a race or something. Anyway, when the Israeli Embassy gave a party to celebrate the new country’s first birthday it set a mew social record by having three bars. Even Jos Davies, the ex-am-bassador to Russia, only had two bars at that big shindig he gave a couple of weeks ago ~and everybody knows Joe's got more dough than a little country like Israel, Incidentally, the Reds by now must have changed the name of the town where Israeli Ambassador Eliahu Elath was born. He first caw the light of day in the Uktalnian village |! of Bnobsk..
Tom Clark's Party
SOMETIMES it costs you dough to be a pal of Presidents—as Atty. Gen, Tom Clark must have found out the other day when he tossed his annual birthday dinner for President Truman. There were about 80 guests, including all the Cabinet members, Vice President Alben Barkley, the White House secretariat and various personal
als, i Dinner and stimulatin’ drinks] for a crowd like that-—especially|
when the President's on hand and you can't skimp on the sauces —gets you back, around $1000. Then there was Barnee's orchestra from the Shoreham Hotel to pay off. Luckily, guests named Jose Jessica Dragonette threw in a little free entertainment, and Tom also got the hall for free. The party was held in the Larz Anderson house, owned by the Society of The Cincinnati, which lets government big shots use it for important shenanigans. Arkansas’ new governor, Sidney McMath, must have some really long-range political plans. A young lady from Hope, Ark, now living In Washington, got a letter from Sid Inviting her to drop in to see him at the State House the next time she was In Little Rock. She's two years old.

When they got there, they found a buffet—a swell C. of C. type buffet, of course, but still a buffet, “Hmph,” hmphed Mrs, Young. “I'll bet the CIO would have served steak.”
