NICHOLS United Press fsafure Writer Wednesday, February 29, 195S Washington (U.R) What's new in Washington: Mrs. Victoria Geaney, the lovely hostess at Blair house, got a nice let ter from . Sir Anthony Eden after . he re turned to Lon don following his visit here. Said the Prime . Minis- Barman Nichols ier. "The foreign, secretary and I were most grateful for the ex cellent care and food we re ceived at Blair House. We found our stay most comfortable .and WE MAY ARGUE ABOUT A UXT OF THINGS, fcUT WE BOTH AGREE THAT WAINSC0T7 PHARMACY HAS THE VERY PWEST PRESCRIPTION SERVICE M Revlon Silicare .... Revlon Satin Set $1.25 $1.35 Cheramy Skin Balm C I Aft $2.00 ize . $lwU agreeable. Please accept my sin cere thanks." Sir Anthony also sent Mnr Geaney an autographed picture. Incidentally, Mrs. Geaney is now ' a member of the "Most Noble Order of the Crown of Thailand." The honor was be stowed in recognition of her "most valuable contribution to ward the success of the Thai land mission to the United Siates." , - 'Pentagon reporters were con founded to find red stickers on their telephones saying: "Cau tion, unclassified talk only." They made a fast check with the high command and learned a sergeant had been given in structions to put the signs on "certain phones." Apparently he had some stickers left over and pasted 'em on . phones that were handy. The reporters are still talking. When Russian scientists here to look at the polio vaccine held a news conference, an interpret er was supplied because, report ers were told, none of them could speak English. When a newsman asked Dr. Marina K. Voroshilova if she had made any bargain buys in local department stores, the in terpreter started to translate, the lady waved him aside and said in perfect English, "Not one." . Entranced, the scribe tried again. "How old are you ma dam?" Dr." Voroshilova, an honest lady, promptly replied: "I'm 34." One thing that could be hold ing up Ike's decision is the White House property. Current records show there are 23,655 pieces. Included are a portrait of George Washington dating back to 1798, . 18,964 pieces of glassware, china and silver, not to mention furniture, table linen, sheets, towels and bric-a-bac. .'When an outgoing President leaves he has to have somebody sort his bags and other gear. It's enough to make a man want to seek a second term. He would have four , more years to make an Inventory. Nightclubbing Tax Reduction Voted By Subcommittee Washington (U.R) A pro posed reduction in the tax on nightclubbing has been tenta tively, approved by a House Ways and Means subcommittee, it was learned today. Informants said the subcom mitee by a split vote yesterday approved cutting the 20 per cent cabaret tax to 10 per cent. The tax is levied on food and drink consumed at places where en tertainment or dancing is pro vided. ; ; Announcement Withheld The secret action was taken as the subcommittee worked on legislation calling for num erous revisions in excise tax law. Announcement of all ten tative decisions was ) withheld pending final subcommittee-action on the legislation. The proposed cut in the cab aret tax would result in a loss of an estimated $20,000,000 a year in revenue. It faces tough sledding in the full House Ways and Means committee, if includ ed in the subcommittee's final report. . The subcommittee, headed bv Rep. Aime J. Forand (D-R.L), was set up to study, and recom mend changes in excise tax law. New Excise Taxes In addition to the cabaret tax reduction, informants said the subcommittee tentatively an- proved new excise taxes of. 10 per cent on- electronic transis tors, and 5 per cent on gas-powered garbage disposal units. Hotel owners and musicians have sought outright repeal of the cabaret tax. They contend it has caused unemployment among musicians, and entertain ers by forcing hotel dining rooms to stop offering entertain ment to patrons.
