THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRERSunday, April 12, 1981 PEOPLE TODAY H-3 White House Getting Back To 'Normal' inside vjasninrjton J. I In Jamaica the nara-to-get gun licenses have to be renewed every year, and illegal possession carries a mandatory jail sentence for an indefinite period, or life imprisonment. John Munroe, of Millbrook, N.Y. and his architect wife, who races her horses at Belmont and Aqueduct, gave a luncheon when John Hearne, political columnist for Jamaica's Dally Gleaner, was among the guests. The host toasted Hearne for his courage.

When the columnist criticized Michael Manley's party while it was in power, he was beaten up, but it did not silence him. That same day Hearne Was being toasted, the Daily Gleaner carried a story about Man-ley's former Minister for National Security Dudley Thompson addressing the 26th Soviet Congress. It quoted him as saying, "Comrade Brezhnev has become a magnificent symbol of the struggle for the stable peace to which all Soviet men and women so passionately aspire Your vivid example is always before us and before Michael Manley." He expressed complete agreement with communist Russia's revolutionary plan for the rest of the world. Let's face it, Manley wasn't merely a Leftist. ln i 1 Queen Magazine last year, were at one of the Ourisman's dinners, and after the shooting of President Reagan they had something to say about the appalling availability of handguns in America.

"ANY NUT can go out and buy one in your country," they said. "It's so out of touch with the times. It isn't 50 years ago when people were more responsible. Now there's TV violence, drug addiction and everything. Your lack of gun control is beyond our comprehension." In Britain it's almost Impossible for a civilian to get a license for a gun, and ammunition Is only obtainable for target practice in gun clubs.

"The penalty for Illegal possession of a gun is a mandatory sentence of a minimum of five years," said Ken. In 1979 in all of England and Wales there were only 55 deaths by gun! 1 I Mi LEONARD MARKS, lawyer and former head of fhe U.S. Information Agency, and the Archibald Roosevelts form a trio at the latter's house before leaving for a house party in Jamaica. HiTWS WT fWTTfl FTPS BY BETTY BEALE WASHINGTON-Incredible as it seems following the shooting of the President and the operation on his lung, the next big scheduled White House dinner the one for Prince Charles-is still on. It will be May 2, the same day the prince goes to Williamsburg, Va.

to receive an honorary fellowship. By that time Ronald Reagan should be rarln' to go, and Nancy will be back in her custom groove as much so as any wife of a target can be. "She just won't be comfortable until he's back with her where he belongs," said Nancy Reynolds last weekend about her good friend Nancy Reagan. Understandably, the first three nights following the assassination attempt, the First Lady didn't sleep well. "I'd get up in the middle of the night and try to eat something like fruit and write in my diary," she said.

Nancy Reynolds, who gave her the diary, says, "I reminded her that particularly this week (following the shooting) she might want to keep a record." When Mrs. Reagan's intimate friends telephoned her not only In shock but in tears, "she teared up, too," said Reynolds. "She was exhausted." And she kept wishing she'd been In the car to help him en route to the hospital. But the wire service story that presented the First Lady as crying and suffering from guilt, loss of appetite and sleep made her sound as if she'd gone to pieces. She didn't.

"IT'S REALLY Just the opposite," said Press Secretary Sheila Patton. "She has been making other people feel better. She's fantastic!" After the President's reassuring progress, she began taking in the beauty of a bursting spring in Washington. "Last night she drove around the (Halns) Point to see the cherry blossoms. She and the President had wanted to see them so badly," said Reynolds, who went with her first to the hospital to see the President, who was "tearing into a chicken and rice and salad dinner.

Nancy (his wife) brought him some homemade coconut Ice cream." Was that his favorite? "He likes all kinds." "The President said no one had brought him a clock, so Deputy Secretary of State Bill Clark brought him a Mickey Mouse wall clock and he loved it. The President was sitting up in bed and manipulating the (hospital) bed himself." As for the First Lady's weight loss, that happened before the terrible Incident. When daughter Patti arrived the day after It occurred, her mother told her, "It isn't that I don't eat. I eat a lot, but I have been so busy, I have lost a few pounds." "Do you think it could be contagious?" asked Patti hopefully, and they both laughed. The whole first family came through the traumatic experience with flying colors.

Besides 8,000 telegrams the first two days, and 5,000 telephone calls, 5,000 letters a day began to arrive, including some from the Thomas Edison School in Burbank, Calif. A lot of those enclosed drawings, and in every drawing there were Jelly beans somewhere. One letter said, "I am sorry about what's happened. Just pray the Easter Bunny will be good to you." And another read: "Dear Mr. President, I hope you get better soon.

(I Lady Diana Spencer's stepbrother, Viscount William Lewisham, has Just bought a house at Reading, Jamaica, which is about halfway between Round Hill and Montego Bay. It's called Wit's End so there's no way Prince Charles and his bride will spend their honeymoon there! Besides, nothing could compare to sailing on the H.M.S.

Britannia especially during the summer. The exodus of homeowners from Jamaica under the pro-communist Michael Manley administration is now being reversed. David Mahoney, the head of Norton Simon, has Just bought a house at Round Hill and he and his wife were down there last month. Montego Bay's top real estate agent, Nigel Pemberton, says he has sold a dozen houses in that area since Thanksgiving "after six years of stagnation or giveaways." John Moore, who breeds horses on his Wil-shire, England, estate, Is putting up a condominium at Reading, to be called the Reading Reef Club. It's by the reef that Jacques Cousteau called the greatest scuba diving reef in the Caribbean.

It's a measure of the new hope and sense of safety instilled by pre-democracy President Edward Seaga that a house that went for $50,000 In the Manley regime is now selling for $150,000. Seaga's more efficient government is in evidence, too, the minute one arrives at Montego Bay Airport. There is no wait for immigration or even for luggage or getting through Customs these days. One zips through the whole process. Vacationing there last month were Cleveland Plain Dealer Publisher Tom Vail and his wife, Iris, Chicago's Jane and Edison Dick, J.

Washingtonian Betty Lou and Mandy Ourisman, who own the showplace of Jamaica -their divine Little Hill at Tryall-gave two dinner parties for their Washington house guests, the Archibald Roosevelts and former director of the U.S.

Information Agency Leonard Marks and his wife. Both dinners were on the veranda by their manicured green lawn edged with lavender, fuschia and orange bougainvillaea, yellow crotons and ackee trees with their flamed blossoms, all partially framing the aquamarine sea beyond. Nobody who can help it, turns down the superb food, setting and charm of Montego's number one hostess (The evening of New Year's Day, stunning, blond Betty Lou gave a party for 20, and 80 came! Sarah Churchill, sister of the Duke of Marlboro, sent her piano over that night Just so Duchin could play!) The Rogans came to lunch one day and brought their house guest, the Billy Harbach of New York and his good-looking friend Barbara Vought. Harbach's appearance was a stroke of luck for Leonard Marks, who is president of the Honor America Society. Harbach will produce the Society's 90-minute TV show, "Let Freedom Sing," the story of American history in music, to be telecast Thanksgiving eve.
