Protocol Is Etiquette
And Is Often Quite Vital
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON MV-To capital hottest protocol Bust be as
familiar u an oyiter fork.
Protocol is the euquette of formal occasion.
. lu Wtshington it appiiet to tbe placing of persona eccordin
to their importance in a receiving line or at a dinner table. It
applies also to the manner is which you address official! and the
business of making calls. '
"Protocol In Washington is of
momentous importance, and the
rules of precedence governing
who ranks whom must he adhered
to rigidly when entertaining of
ficials," says' ttrs. Caroline Hag
ner Shaw, social arbiter and pub
lisher of the 'Social List of Wash
ington'. "Sometimes when not
respected they cause crises, even
an international situation!"
Bard Times
Mrs. Shaw recalls the time
when Cordell Hull was secretary
ot sute and an attache of a South
American country was misplaced
at a state dinner. Notes had to be
exchanged between the govern-1
ment of the United States and
that of his country.
Then there was the famous Dol
ly Gann-Alice Roosevelt Long-
worth incident of the Hoover Ad
ministration concerning who out
ranked the other Mrs. Gann. as
official hostess for her widowed
brother, Vice President Charles
Curtis, or Mrs. Longworth, as
wife df the Speaker of the House,
Nicholas Longworth.
At a reception given by Presi
dent Theodore Roosevelt for the
Supreme Court, the chief justice
and the associate justices walked
right out of the White House be
cause the President had received
members of the diplomatic corps
first
Long Time
Abigail Adams, in 1800, ' was
the first to set up a dignified so
cial talon in the White House.
Thomas Jefferson would have
none of this. Capital aociai lead
ers were very upset, the diplo
mats even more so.
The first real precedence con
troversy blew up when Jeilenon
offered hit arm to Dolly Madison,
wife of his vice president, to lead
her in to dinner instead of the
British minister's wife. Jefferson
issued a statement:
. "When brought together in so
ciety, all are perfectly equal,
whether foreign or domestic, in
or out of office no title being
admitted here, those of foreigners
given no precedence . . ." he
wrote.
Protocol was reintroduced by
Mrs. James Monroe after the
"grand manner." It looks now
like it's here to stay.
Must Know
About the most Important thing
for a Washington hostess to know
is rank whom to place above
whom in a receiving line or at a
dinner table.
Currently all hands agree this
is the way you should teat your
guests if (God forbid) you should
ever wish to entertain all the
bigwigs at the tame time:
The President, then vice presi
dent, chief justice, former presi
dents, ambassadors of foreign
powers, widows of former presi
dents, speaker of the house, sec
retary of state, representative to
U.N., ministers of foreign powers,
associate justices and cabinet
members.
(Early this year the lingiest
question was where Mrs. Oveta
ruin Hobbv ranked as Federal
Security Administrator. The
quandry was solved when she be
came secretary of Health, Educa
(nn and Welfare. Following the
tradition that Cabinet officials
rank 'one another according to
when their department was foun
ded. she automatically became
tenth in line in the cabinet sec

governors of states, senators, the
assistant to the President, acting
heads of executive departments,
former vice presidents, members
of the House of Representatives,
under secretary of state, charges
d affairs of foreign powers, under
secretaries of departmenU, the
rmv. Naw and Air Force secre
taries, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, chiefs of staff,
five -star generals and fleet ad
mirals, and so on.
C.rtm Rank
"It is important to remember
that the wife of an official al
ways assumes the rank held by
her husband, whether he is pre
tent or not," Mrs. Shaw points
mt "Following this tame ruling,
h tmshand of a woman official.
like former Gov. Hobby of Tex
an assumes his wife's rank, as
tenth in line among cabinet mem
bers." Wives or widowa of former of
ficials, except presidents, have no
rank at all but are usually given
a courtesy position. Protocol pro
tagonists claim, nowever, una u

LOCUSTS MPNACE JORDAN
AHMAN. Jordan liPi The
worst attack of locusts in 23 years
is predicted for Jordan following
an unusually early appearance of
locust swarms. Normally locusta
arrive later and their eggs hatch
after most of the crops have
hrrn harvested. Action against
locusts is not taken during the
present stage only after the eggs
are laid.
