Phone 2-5623 By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Perle Mesta gives more speeches than parties now, the famed hostess said here on a two-speech, no party visit. Mrs. Mesta breezed into town this week with her maid, a jammed appointment book and some well-thumbed notes on Russia. In one three-hour period she attended a lunch given by the Public Relations Society of America, delivered the after lunch speech, gave a 15-minute interview before television cam eras in her hotel suite and kept a dental appointment. "Go back to work?" she gasped when someone asked if she had considered working again for the government. "Why, I'm the hardest working girl you know." At the age of somewhere around 65, the tireless woman from Oklahoma has already earned a succession of titles, from "No. 1 hostess of the na tion's capital" to "two-party-perle," and one diplomatic ap pointment as U.S. Minister to Luxemburg. And she shows no signs of slowing down now. Wants To Help "I'm here to do what I can," she said. "I have no children. I am free to help other people. I don't know about any other dip lomatic appointment. If the right one came along and I thought it would be helping my country, I'd take it." When she ended her four-year stay in Luxemburg in 1953, after the Republican administration took over, she said her diplo matic career was over "for the time being." The speeches she makes now are on Russia, which she visited in the summer of 1953. "And I get paid for the speeches too," Mrs. Mesta said. "I've made, oh, I don't know, maybe 30 or 40 speeches in the past year. I've traveled all over the country. The money goes into my own fund for educating young people from Europe. "I have nine students in col lege here now from seven dif ferent countries. Two are from Luxemburg. I always favor Lux emburg a little. Next fall I'll have one from Japan. They don't have to be brilliant students. I think people who aren't so bril liant get along all right . . . sometimes better than the smart ones." Just Like Party She approaches these fund raising speeches the same way she does a Washington, D.C. party. "I organize it ahead of time," she said. "My speech tonight at the meeting of the Ukranian Congress will be planned by noon. Then I'll forget about it. "A good party must be organ ized ahead too, so the hostess can enjoy her guests. It doesn't take a bank book to give a good party. All it takes -is for the hostess to be hospitable and plan it well." Mrs. Mesta, who Inspired the Broadway musical and movie "Call Me Madam," returns to the capital tomorrow, and next month leaves on a trip to Eu rope. The trip has State De partment approval, but Mrs. Mesta is mysterious about it's purpose. "I can't talk about it," she said. "It is partly for pleasure . . . but . . ." and with those words Mrs. Mesta flashed her famous smile and disappeared for her next appointment. Casual Cottons Set Men's Style Note Cotton is setting the style trends for men's summer fash ions, the National Cotton coun cil advises. Fashion reports from Palm Beach, Nassau and other lead ing resort centers indicate a swing to colorful cotton in shirts, walking shorts, slacks and odd jackets. Among most-noted fab rics are chino, denim and broad cloth in conservative prints. More and more men's sports wear is coordiated. Slacks and white or pastel shades are being worn with jackets and blazers in darker tones. Pink teamed with black is a combination seen at many yacht and country clubs. Other popular combina tions include dark pink with red, light pink with orange and even light pink with dark pink. No longer a novelty, walking shorts have been' accepted by even the least experimental of men, and they are being worn by all age groups, with cotton poplin the favored fabric. The all-cotton business suit has become popular in the no padding, natural shoulder style, which favors a center vent and three buttons. New fabrics in clude cords in dark town colors, twill and wrinkle-resistant suit ings. Trousers continue slimmer and trimmer with 20-inch knees and 18-inch cuffs prevailing. Hitchhiking Found Good Way To Travel Peoria, 111. (U.R) Hitchhik ing isn't a bad way to travel. That's the conclusion of Wil lard Maloney, Terre Haute, Ind., who arrived here recently after a 13-hour trip from his home town. The former truck driver lost both legs in a truck accident in 1952. He made the trip alone in a wheel chair.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUlfS CTY1 Top-Notch Rescue Service Operated by Team of Women Sacramento, Calif. U.R) A unique all-woman team, "the ladies in white," is providing the 68-square mile Citrus Heights section north of here with what local officials call a top-notch rescue service. The 14 regular and four pro bationary members make up a team more formally known as the Citrus Heights fire depart ment rescue squad which re sponds to fire and accident calls in a radio-equipped rescue wagon. . The women in the trim white uniforms regard their volunteer work as a job that must be done for the community. They never know when the victim of an accident may be a friend or relative. All of the women are married and most have children. Mem bers of the team range in age from 29 to 45 and perform their hard and sometimes risky tasks despite a variety of full time jobs. ' French Cooking Said Good Taste, Easy Tricks Monterey, Calif.. (U.R) Nearly everyone knows some thing about French cooking, ac cording to Mrs. Suzanne Arm strong, but they don't know enough. A former member of the New York Wine and Food society, Mrs. Armstrong is one of this resort town's leading cooks and a gourmet who uses almonds and anchovies as most house wives use salt. But she says much of her French cooking is only good taste and easy tricks to make a "good meal better." For instance: "Deglacage for perfect clear pan gravy with roasted or sauteed meats. Set cooked meat on warm platter. Remove surplus fat from cook ing pan. Pour in liquid water, stock or wine and blend. Re duce liquid to about half. "Or mirepoix chopped raw vegetables onions, carrots, cel ery, parsley and favorite herbs placed under roasting meat, for flavor and as a rack. "Or again for brown crust on sauteed food, add paprika to flour used in coating dry-surfaced, saute at low heat." The captain, Mrs. Kathleen Robertson, is a florist. Other members of the group include the owner of a drug store, the operator of a pheasant farm, a store clerk, a service station at tendant, a garage employe and two members of the fire district. "The women do a top job and do it with dispatch," . said Fire Chief Gene Desimone. "Just the fact they are there in those crisp white uniforms assure the victims of accidents." Even the state highway patrol which originally had misgivings about the project now admits the women "do a good job.'' The women are on call 24 hours a day, their homes are linked to the central fire alarm station by special telephones. Mrs. Robertson keeps hers at the head of her bed. "The calls may come at any time," she said, "but most of them seem to be after 2 a.m. "I've seen more than one girl at a wreck with half her hair in curlers and the other half lying damp and straight," Mrs. Rober son said. "And I must admit I've charred a cake or two in the oven while responding to an accident," she continued. WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS INVITATIONS Ml ( V V Service Swem's 317 E.
