Washington Column By Larswi and Jerry Bennett NEA Staff Cocktail odds: Two to one that Mamie Eisenhower is going to blossom out with a modified sack dress soon.

The White House officially denied that she had bought two of them earlier because of an undesirable publicity tie-up with a New York dress outfit. But Mamie still has a hankering to wear the sack style and plans to, with no fanfare this time. Two to one that Mrs. Nixon does not make a foreign trip with the V.P. any time soon.

There's been a lot of private criticism that he subjected to unnecessary risk on the South American trip. Even odds that Rep. Coya Knutson (D-Minn.) will not run for Congress again. It'g not so much that her husband complained that her career was wrecking their home life. The whole rhubarb was politically damaging to Mrs.

The GOOD START ON VITAL REFORMS commercial airlines and their pilots have shown strong initiative all along in combating the perils of today's crowded airspace. Now they are being joined by the federal government in decisive action to reduce or eliminate the hazards of collision.

Starting June 15 the government will operate three flights in those zones. The feature of these air superhighways is that they will be under complete ground control at all New Cuban Ambassador Nicholas Arroyo is living up to his advance billing as an intrepid host. The threat of rebel shooting failed to keep Arroyo from tossing magnificent parties when he was Minister oi Public Works back home. And competition from three other embassies didn't keep him from throw ing the best attended wingding in town the other afternoon. The ambassador was showing off the newly decorated embassy (both he and his wife are architects and interior decorators) plus his considerable host ing talents.

There was one huge buffet upstairs with American food, featuring lobster, and another one times and in all weather. No aircraft--commercial, private or military--will be allowed to enter or cross these broad lines without the authority of the CAA's ground controllers. These corridors will in fact be the only airspace in the nation in which the now all-too-likely prospect of mid-air collision will be virtually wiped out. President Eisenhower's special emergency rules governing military flights into and through existing federal airways are good as far as they go, but there is still no control over private planes in those lanes. roast suckling pig.

"Milo," a contralto voice said, "have you really become as stuffy as you sound?" The voice belonged to Merry Mellany. She was beautiful and blonde and either the third or the fourth richest woman in the world. I could never remember which.

Dr. Jaime Moreno had been a political refugee from one of the Latin American countries in the laribbean.

He'd been teaching Latin-American literature at New York University. He had left the university one evening and that was the last ever seen of him. "I remember," I said. "He came from one of those banana republics in Central America." "Sugar, not bananas," Raymond said. "He was an exile from the Monican Republic.

He was pretty well known as a critic of the regime down there." The Monican Republic was the personal property of a guy who called himself Generalissimo Francisco Torcido, or sometimes simply The Benefactor. He'd been the dictator of the country for the past 30 years. The Monican Republic was a little country about the size of Illinois, bounded by the Dominican Republic, the Republic of Haiti and the Caribbean.
