Senate Not Due to
Okeh Argentine
Sanitary Session
FDR's Criticism of
U. S. Beef Fails to
Influence Solons
I Press Washington Bureau.
j WASHINGTON, May 15. —
I President Roosevelt’s I m plied
criticism of Sen. Tom Connally
and others—when he ordered, the
Navy to buy Argentine canned
beef instead of American—will
lot have the effect, apparently,
if winning Senate approval of the
tvestock sanitary convention with
hat South American country.
In announcing at his press con-
‘erence that he regarded Argen-
line canned beef- as "infinitely bet-
er", than the similar American
product, and much cheaper, the
"•resident pointed out, laughing-
y,. that there was no hoof and
nouth disease in canned beef.
Heart of Opposition
This hit at the heart of one
phase of the opposition against a
reaty with Argentina proposed
bout four years ago to permit
he importation of cattle from
1 hat country into this. -
Cattle country senators, led in
some instances by Sen. Connally,
- opposed ratification of the treaty.
The senator said that he knew of
10 new efforts being made to get
he treaty ratified.

WASHINGTON, May 15.—“Not many more days until the visit of
YY the King and Queen." ' i
So reads every social calendar in this ultra-socially conscious city,
and debs and dowagers alike already are twirling their lassoes trying
to rope an invitation to one of the dazzling parties in honor of Their :
Majesties, King George- VI ande
Queen Elizabeth of England.
There are plenty of other signs
which—so say the society sleuths

give Washington the most glitter-
ing and exclusive three-day social
whirl in its long top hat-and-tiara
history.
reason that Lady Lindsay, wife of
the British Ambassador, is receive- -

When she returned from a recent
trip to England, she found a stack
of calling cards two feet, three
inches high, left during her ab-

MRS. JAMES M. HELM. White
I House social arbiter, is re-
ceiving a daily deluge of strange-
ly related hints and some outright
requests, and capital hostesses are
calling at the British Embassy at
the rate at 100 an afternoon.
The sharp increase in Mrs.
Helm's mail is caused by a flow
of letters from women seeking to
place a gold seal on their social
careers by an invitation to a party
for the royal visitors. Some only
hint at the fact, but others break
right out with uncamouflaged
requests.
The British Embassy will share
honors with the White House as a
social center while Their Majes-
ties are here. Perhaps that is the
sence.
But the social
climbers—and
way, will make two speeches in
Kansas today and visit 17 towns.

disappointment. During the three-
day royal visit everything will be
run strictly according to prece-
dence and supervised by the State
Department and the British Em-
bassy.
There isn't even a bare chance
for any of them to "make the
list" for the glittering state din-
ner at the White House. The din-
ing room there seats only 100.
The East Room, scene of the mu-
sicales which traditionally follow
high state affairs, accommodates
200 more. And when the social
aspirants look at the long list of
ranking officialdom, the prospect
is disconcerting.
Precedence will also cover the
sightseeing tour on which the
King and Queen will be taken.
New Dealers no doubt would like
to show them Greenbelt, the gov-
ernment-sponsored model com-
munity in nearby Maryland.

Four" lead the procession to .din-
ner.
After dinner, the ladies retire
for coffee, the gentlemen stay for
cigars. The musicale, to which
more guests are invited, completes
the evening.
Biggest social event, although
not the most select, is expected to
be the .British Embassy tea in
honor of Their Majesties. The
beautiful embassy garden is spa-
cious enough that the guest list
might include a thousand persons.
The royal couple would take their
tea on a white stone portico over-
looking the garden. Distinguish-
ed guests, such as Chief Justice
and Mrs. Hughes or Secretary of
State and Mrs. Cordell Hull, would
be brought to their table for a few
minutes’, chat.
Should the King and Queen de-
cide to entertain at dinner at the
Embassy, the guest list would be
limited to 30 or 40, all top-rank-,
ing officials and diplomats.
PULES of International eti-
I quette make it strictly per-
missible to say "How do you do"?
and shake hands with Their Ma-
jesties. The question of American
women curtseying to the British
sovereigns is not worrying em-
bassy officials. They point out
that a curtsey is a courtesy, but
that a handshake will not be re-
garded as a discourtesy.
