(Walter Trohan in Chicago Tribuna) Sounds of revelry are growing faint in the national capital un der the Eisenhower administra tion. The social whirl of the Roosevelt - Truman regime has slowed down to a sedate pace under the dedicated crusade of the progressive moderates. During the 20 years of the last two administrations the quest for entertainment gave the national capital something of the appear-1 ance of perpetual New Year’s eve. Cocktail parties were estimated as running over 200 a day. Soi rees were frequent. Dinners were contests for social rivalry. Many hostesses were on the prowl for social lions. While the Democratic admin istrations were supposedly dedi cated to advancing the life of the common man, their leaders be lieved in having a good time. The further to the left officials mov ed. the gayer they became. Top officials believed in living as high and as gay as soviet commissars. Some learned lav ishness in entertaining from the parties thrown by the soviet em bassy in marking anniversaries of the Red revolution. Washington was never more socially conscious than in the pe riod from March 4, 1933, to Janu ary 20, 1953. Invitations to parties were matters of life and death to some Washingtonians. The contest for the title of No. 1 hostess, which was waged by Mrs. Perle Mesta, one time Okla homa Republican who became ambassador to Luxemburg, and Mrs. Morris Cafritz, wife of a Washington realtor, rated more time in Washington conversation than domestic or foreign prob- A Feature Skater lems. When Mrs. Mest was made a diplomat by a Truman appoint ment, Mrs. Crafitz crowned her self the queen of Washington party givers. When Mrs. Mesta’s appointment expired with the end of the Truman administra tion, she returned to Washington. Washingtonians looked forward to a resumption of the battle of hostesses. The battle failed to materialize because neither host ess has succeeded in bagging the top figures of the Eisenhower ad ministration. Members of the Eisenhower team are not playboys. Nor is the President. Mr. Eisenhower likes golf, quail shooting and bridge. He prefers to relax with a few old friends and a {ew inti mates His example is followed by his top aids. Cabinet members do their official entertaining and no more. They work hard by day and often into the night. State Secretary Dulles is sel dom in town, to do any enter taining. Under State Secretary Herbert Hoover, Jr., is not a party goer. Other cabinet mem bers and top officials are serious about their work and seldom play. Washington social columns are meager these days. Much of what they report is confined to doings of the New Dealers who are still hanging on in hope of coming back to power some day. Last week there was a splurge in the society pages on the enter tainment given for Miss Margaret Truman, daughter of the former President, which was attended by Adlai Stevenson, the defeated Democratic candidate in 1952. There have been no similar parties for the President’s son or his daughter-iu-law or any cabi net children. They have held all functions down to a bare mini mum. Under the Truman administra tion it was estimated that the cost of parties in the capital ran to five million dollars a year. Today caterers, tole keepers, and club managers agree business has slumped sharply. Drinking, the mark of convivi ality in the past, has dropped sharply.

Gath- ings (D-Ark) predicted Saturday that the House will pass his bill to add 542,000 acres to this year's national cotton planting allot ment. The measure was approved late yesterday by a House Agriculture subcommittee headed by Gath- inga. It is designed to relieve “hardships” and “inequities” which Gathings said have devel oped under the sharp planting re strictions imposed by the govern ment to curb surpluses. Under the bill, each state would get a 3 per cent increase in its 1955-crop planting allotment The national planting allotment now is fixed at 18,000,000 acres com. pared with 21,400,000 last year. The measure, product of hours of wrangling between cotton state congressmen, is a compro mise of many views. Gathings admitted that “a few folks are not going to be happy with it” but said he anticipated “no strong opposition.” Among those who arte not hap py was Rep. Frank E. Smith (El- Miss.). He appeared before Gath ings subcommittee yesterday and said that “I will do whatever I can to prevent its enactment.” Under Gathings bill each state must first use its additional acre age-on a statewdie basis—to re duce or eliminate planting cut- Dueling Pledge, Out For State's Officeholders Columbia — Dueling oeeame constitutionally honorable again Thursday, if still illegal for South Carolina officeholders.

Designers Give Tips On Men-Women Dress It takes a man to tell a woman how to dress to her own best ad vantage—and vice versa, accord ing to Simonetta and Fabiani, both eminent Italian couturiers. On a business trip to America, Simonetta, the beautiful Roman aristocrat turned dress designer told reporters that her marriage to Alberto Fabiani, her greatest business rival, had taught her a lot about choosing her own ward robe. “And I know I have taught my husband a great deal about dressing becomingly, too said. Between them, the Fabianis developed a list of “his” and “hers” rules for dressing well— and with greater comfort—that apply to any couple anywhere, she said. Here is Simonetta’s ad vice: Men should not wear their jackets longer than the hip. It makes most men look stumpy. Banish cuffs on trousers. They; are unattractive and untidy. Wear handsome, decorative cuff links. Wear solid colored neckties in interesting colors. Most women dislike fancy ties. If your hair is balding, don’t try to cover the spot with long wisps. Cut your hair short and face up to it. Alberto Fabiani’s five fashion tips to women are: Never “think old" in choosing clothes. Think only of your fig-1 ure, your coloring and your way| of life. I Wear black up to the age of 30. Wear colors after that Do not insult your feet and legs by wearing flat shoes. High heels were meant to make women at tractive and careful shoe shop ping can insure comfort. Don’t wear slacks unless you are 150 per cent sure they are becoming.
