Panamanian Official Is Feted;
Other News Among Diplomats
By Katharine M. Brooks
The newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Panama and
Benora de Alfaro will be the guests of honor at dinner Friday evening
of the Panamanian Ambassador-designate and Senora de' Vallarino.
Benor Vallarino arrived in Washington after the President's departure
for the conference in Potsdam, and therefore has not’ been received by
him. Dr. Alfaro returned to Washington a short time ago from a special
mission in Central America for the United Nations Relief and Rehabili
tation Administration and with Senora de Alfaro will leave the eni of
the week or early next week for the Isthmus.
Dr. and Senora de Alfaro were the guests in whose honor the Hon
duran Ambassador and Senora de Caceres entertained yesterday at
luncheon. Others at the party were the dean of the diplomatic coyp6,
the Mexican Ambassador and Senora de Castillo Najera, the Nicaraguan
Ambassador and Senora de Sevilla Sacasa, the Costa Rican Ambassador
and Senora de Gutierrez, the Panamanian Ambassador-designate and
Senora de Vallarino, the Director General of the Pan American Union,
Dr. Leo 8. Rowe; Mr. Avra M. Warren and Mr. William P. Cochran of
the State Department, with Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Cochran; the retiring
Military Attache of the Argentine Embassy and Senora de Parodi, and
the former Ecuadorean Ambassador, Capt. Colon Eloy Alfaro, whose
three sons are in business in Pan
ama. Capt. Alfaro served his gov
ernment as minister before the Le
gation was raised to an Embassy
and during the days when Dr. Al
faro was Minister of Panama.
Gen. and Senora de Parodi will
leave the middle of next week to
go to the former’s new post as
Military Attache of the Argentine
Embassy in Paris. He and his fam
ily have been very popular in Wash
ington and will be greatly missed.
Gen. and Senora de Parodi will be
accompanied to Paris by their
daughter, Senorita Maria Teresa
Parodi, who is a favorite in the
younger circles of society. Gen. and
Senora de Parodi had planned to
leave earlier, but difficulties in trans
• portation have delayed them. No
one as yet has been appointed to
take Gen. Parodi's place at the
Embassy here.
Senora de Parodi shared honors
with Senora de Fernandez-Davila.
wife of the Minister Counselor of
the Peruvian Embassy, late yester
day. The party, a 6 o'clock fete,
was given by Senora de Sarmiento,
wife of the Military Attache of the
Peruvian Embassy. Senora de Fern
andez-Davila arrived a very short
time ago, after waiting in New
York until they could take posses
sion of the house at 5315 Connecti
cut avenue which they have leased.
The house formerly was occupied
by Senor Fernandez-Davila's pre
decessor, Dr. Eduardo Garland, while
the latter was Minister Counselor
and before his appointment as
Peruvian Ambassador to Bolivia.
Senora de Garland and her children
remained here until the close of
the school year and when they left
for La Paz, Senora de Fernandez
Davila joined her husband here.
Guests of Senora de Sarmiento
numbered about 60 and there were
no men. The hostess received in
the drawing room, wearing a street
length frock of aqua trimmed with
gold. Senora de Fernandez-Davila
chose a pink dress with accessories
of black, and Senora de Parodi wore!
a summer frock of similar style.1
The honor guests, who stood with;
Senora de Sarmiento, each wore a
becoming summer hat harmonizing
with her frock. The center of at
traction on the prettily appointed
tea table was a Peruvian dessert
especially made by the hostess for
the occasion. Presiding at the tea
table were Senora de Alamillo,
Senora de Lopez Henriquez, Senora
de Reveredo and Senora de. Lar
rea-Alba, wives of military and air
attaches of the Embassies of Mex-j
ico, Venezuela, Peru and Ecuador. '
Just About
Washington
By Hope Ridings Miller
Person responsible for that liver
i bacon - and - onions menu served
when President Truman had Pre
! mier Stalin to luncheon at Potsdam
was Brig. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan.
It was midmorning when Truman
received word that the Soviet leader
wished to call on him "around
noon.” Gen. Vaughan, the Presi
dent’s military aide, scurried about
to see what was cooking. "Liver,
bacon and onions,” said the chef.
If that’s good enough for the Presi
dent of the United States, it's good
enough for anybody, Gen. Vaughan
said to himself and gave orders for
the meal to proceed as planned,
i The dish was served up, steaming,
in regulation American style. Stalin
j ate his portion, asked for a second
helping and then inquired about
the recipe. Rumors rippling out
from the Kremlin since then have
it that liver, bacon and onions
(American style, mind you) is now
a favorite dish with the Soviet
Union’s biggest boss.
Harry Truman met Harry
Vaughan at Port Sill, Okla., during
the Great War while both were
officers in training. They fought
together overseas and have kept in
close contact ever since. After re
turning to Missouri in 1918.
Vaughan became a chemical engi
neer, but in 1941 he arrived in
Washington as secretary to Senator
Truman. Called back into uniform
the following year, he was sent to
Australia for extended duty. Al
though he had been wounded twice
in the first World War, he came
even nearer death in this one when
an airplane crash left him with
several broken bones and a crushed
foot.
He recuperated at Walter Reed
Hospital and then became liaison
officer between the Truman com
mittee and the Army.
