(UPI photo) Mona Lisa Debut Marred As Microphones Go Dead By HELEN THOMAS Washington-(UPli-Two thou sand enthusiastic dignitaries gathered to behold the Mona Lisa Tuesday night, and in the hubbub that ensued the famous lady's smile might almost have been a smirk. The microphones went dead, forcing President Ken nedy to shout his barbed witticisms; the elevator failed, forcing him and his family to walk, and glaring glass obscured the painting. Most of the elegantly clad congressmen, Cabinet mem bers and diplomats who at tended the American debut of Da Vinci's masterpiece by invitation only neither saw the painting nor heard what was said about it. Miss Great Deal They missed a great deal. The officials on the platforms by the painting didn't miss too much, though. When the restive art lovers began whis pering amongst themselves, Secretary of State Dean Rusk rose by the painting to an nounce apologetically that "the acoustics in the room arc so good that the private re marks made in the rear arc amplified in the front." But the acoustics apparent ly worked one way only. With the microphones dead, French Minister of Culture Andre Malraux's poetic trib ute to the Mona Lisa was altogether lost. Kennedy fared somewhat better. Resorting to a shout ing campaign style of ora tory, he heaped praise on the painting and on France, and remarked that the Mona Lisa was the "second lady" the people of France had sent the United States, although she would not stay as long as the first the Statue of Liberty. Barbs Thrown In Then he turned to some barely veiled barbs on France's desire to become an independent nuclear power. "We in the United States are grateful for this loan from the leading artistic pow er in the world, France," he said. "In view of the recent meeting at Nassau, I must note further that this painting has been kept under careful French control, and that France has even sent along its own commander-in-chief M. Malraux. "And I want to make it clear that grateful as we are for this painting, we will continue to press ahead with the effort to develop an in dependent artistic force and power of our own." Set Meeting St. Peter's Lutheran Wom en's Missionary league will meet Thursday, January 10 at I2:.t0 p.m., in the church for a potluck luncheon. Program topic will be, "Keep Informed." Program Topic For Crater Club Is Perennials Central Point Mrs. Ar thur Straus conducted the pro gram for the Crater Garden club of Central Point, at their first meeting of the new year, Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Fitz gerald, 3488 New Ray road. Following dinner, Mrs. Straus spoke to the group, of plants in the composite fam ily, stating the composite fam ily is the largest, most highly developed, and widely distrib uted family in the vegetable kingdom. It consists mostly of herbaceous plants, with green shrubs and trees, and the flow ers usually occur in dense clusters opening from a cen tral cup-shaped envelope, as the dandelion, aster, and Shasta daisy. The latter, Mrs. Straus believes to be the most important of the perennials. The floral arrangement of the month was also presented by Mrs. Straus, featuring a Hogarth curve, made of red wood and cypress greenery, together with artificial roses. Delmar Smith selected roses as the topic for discussion, ans wering questions, and explain ing the terms and different names associated with them.
