EXCLUSIVELY YOURS
Party Talk Turns
To One Subject
By BETTY BEALE
There’s no better weather
vane than party chitchat to
show which way the wind is
blowing. In the middle of last
week, three days before Christ
mas, the vane shifted.
Judging by the conversation
in Capital salons you would
hardly know that the Christ
mas season was here, that a
New Year was descending
upon us or that there might
be some debutantes on the
scene. There’s only one subject
that has been, and still is,
instantly claiming everyone's
attention. And that is the
subject of Dwight D. Eisen
hower running again.
Some sociable diehards were
insisting that he would run
again even before he left Den
ver, but their listeners were
unconvinced. In the middle of
last week, however, people who
had been betting anywhere
from $5 to SIOO two days
earlier that Ike would not seek
re-election, suddenly decided
they wouldn’t bet any more
and that they would probably
lose what they had bet. The :
shift in talk was noticed at
every party in town where the
increasingly arresting subject
came up. . . . Not only is
Sherman Adams persuading
friends that the President will
run. say partygoers, but it is
understood that Mrs. Eisen
hower is being persuaded to
influence Ike to run on the
grounds that it will be the best
thing for his morale.
Just thought you’d like to
catch up on the conversation
being dished out with the
canapes.
HELEN KNOWLAND. hand
some wife of the California
Senator .who has said he will
run if Ike doesn’t and is be
lieved to be eager to run any
how, isn’t going to be caught
off base. "How would you feel j
about being a candidate’s
wife?" Helen was asked. ’ Til 4
have to experience lt before i
I can tell you,’’ was the cagey
reply-
BUFFIE IVES, Adlai Ste
> venson's sister, is scheduled to
make a speech in Washington
on February 6. She will review
her own book, “My Brother
Adlai.” at a luncheon at the
Women's National Democratic
A-34
, Club. The book will make its
public bow on February 1, has
already appeared in magazine
serial form.
Adlai’s biggest concern at
the moment regarding his son,
John Fell wr.o had the terrible
automobile accident last week
and had his kneecap removed,
is how and when to break the
news to him that his two close
friends were killed. John Fell
has been in such a state of
shock himself after the awful
crash that giving him this
other shock has been out of the
question, but, the time will
come when he will have to
! know.
SENATOR MARGARET
CHASE SMITH has invita
tions out for a dinner
in honor of Representative
Frances P. Bolton on Tues
day. January 10 at the
Congressional Club. A long
time, intimate friend of Fran
ces Bolton, Margaret Smith
presumably is giving the din
ner to welcome her distin
guished colleague back from
her extensive African travels. I
And when Mrs. Bolton travels,
it’s no mere iunket she takes.
It’s an extensive, interpretive
study of the needs and heart
of a people. You get a feeling
of thp kind of traveler she is
from the old gaelic message on
her Christmas greeting:
"May peace be in your
hearts. May the road rise up
before you, and the wind be at
your back. And may God ever
hold you in the palm of His
hand!”
