Comment On This and That

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

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.
