FROM
Peg in Washington
Washington, D.C., September 8.
Dear Marian:
An audience that was a bit of a cross-
section of Washington assembled in the
ballroom of the Mayflower last Wednes-,
oay noon tor a luncneon oi ic
National Press club. Originally scnea
uled for a smaller dining room, the in
crease in reservations to some 325 made
the larger room necessary. The occa
sion?. The first speaking appearance of
D". Klnsey since the fanfare of pub
licity of his newest volume. Among
those In attendance were wives of sev
eral ambassadors, Mrs. Gordon Moore,
siMer of Mrs. Eisenhower, Cornelia Otto
Skinner and Constance Bennett from
theatrical circles, the head of the Dis
trict Bar Association, an official of the
Mental Health Institute, two well
known New York newspaper men, two
or three of the publishers and chief ed
itors of Washington papers, radio, tele
vision, and magazine executives, the
head of the federal children's bureau,
and Washington reporters. As an in
vited guest, I had gone with the hope
of hearing the Washington newspaper
women fir fast questions at the speak
er, but the luncheon was too lengthy
and I had to scuttle oack to the office
before the question ana answer period.
I went with definite prejudices and
none of them was lifted by the discourse
of the speaker. One Indication of the
publicity phase was the several refer
ences to the publication date of the book
by the speaker and also the remark
"Read Chapter Number So-and-so" as
he terminated discussion of one point.
At any rate, I met several interesting
people at our table, several of whom
contributed cynically witty remarks
that nearly convulsed our remote cor
ner of the room, and the luncheon Itself
was tempting. Buel Markel, president
, aw: -t- .
Among hostesses of the new week

guests and the speaker. Incidentally,

Visitors at the Department of the In
terior this morning were Mr. and Mrs.
David C. Duniway and their daughters,
Melissa and Sancha. The Secretary had
a staff meeting underway but had an
opportunity for a quick greeting to the
Salem residents. They drove east to
North Carolina, Mrs. Duniway's former
home state, and were going on from
there to Detroit for an archivists' meet
ing. The Dunlways were married in
Washington and Melissa was born here,
consequently, they were recalling many
memories of their years here.
Ralph Chambers, brother of Ted and
Joe Chambers of Salem, was a visitor
at the McKay apartment this week.
Since the McKays had seen members of
the Chambers family during their vaca
tion in Oregon, the trio had much of
mutual interest to discuss.
Secretary McKay is devoting some
noon hours this week and next to Com
munity Chest luncheons since he serves
as chairman of the governmental section
of the campaign. Groups of 25 workers
in the federal agencies will meet with
the Secretary each of four days in the
interest of the drive o get under way
next month. ,
Someone who was in mentioned the
Pendleton Round-Up and it made all dl
us Oregonian wish that we could be
home this week-end. That is one of the
penalties of this 3000 mi'.e distance from
familiar sights and events at home. I
must admit theTe are compensations,
however, in the life acre.
Sincerely, Peg.
