The bone-chilling weather of lnaugual time prompted one of the guests at the big reception hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Jorge Trlstanl at the Womens' Congressional Club to propose that Inaugurals, like Queen Elizabeth's birthday, be moved up to June The reception. which honored the Resident Commission er of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and Mrs .Baltasar Corrada , was hosted by Mr. Tristan!, who is Administrator of the Economic Development Administration In Puerto Rico. and his wife, Gloria, daughter of the late Senator Chavez. Senator Richard Stone volunteered that we might more efficiently run Inaugurals if a small secretariat were to be set up . by Congress.

French-American decorator Barmache of New York, Mrs. Alireza has finally completed her extensive redecorating which included adding an elegant new dining room to seat 24, on the back of the house overlooking the swimming pool. Each week Angelo Bonita , her florist. comes to arrange the half dozen or more massive arrangements of exotic flowers which greet the visitor In the downstairs slttinQ rooms. A visitor Is Immediately offered cups of Turkish coffee, aromatic tea in tiny glasses. orange JUice and an array of hors d'oeuvres Including tahmia . a Saudi delicacy of ground beans and sesame se~ds. Luncheon is a mouth-watering melange of French and Saudi dishes prepared by the Allreza's Egyptian cook -- not unlike the menu and Impressive service which they enjoy at home In the Jamaly compound at Jidda. There. however the similarities stop. fhe A:.1bassador explains carefully what he means about there being too manY pressures here . "I think you have too much entertaining by diplomats lor other diplomats. Too many mass affairs We should have more time to meet Americans." " At home I work hard and go out a great His stepdaughter deal at night too.'' Interrupts teasingly, ''Does he ever. Once we counted 49 consecutive nights when we had not been home for dinner In J idda." ''The difference being,'' the Ambassador says. "at home I have the option of not golng if I choose." Mrs. Alireza has simply given up trying to adjust to the early-to-rise. early-to-bed schedule of social Washington. "In Jidda, we may be just sitting down to dinner about the time you are saying 'Goodbye' at diplomatic parties here. We play cards. have music, sometimes privat.e film showings and stay up very. very late I get up at noon or 1 o'clock. So I do the same thing here. I come home and go to bed with a book until I can fall asleep at 2 or 3 a.m.'' In Jidda, the Alirezas live in one of sevetl houses In the family compound near scores of family members. A cook and assistant cook prepare all meals from a separate kitchen and food storage building and deliver them to each house. Monica could not remember how many rooms there are in her stepfather's house. "But it is very large We have five huge sitting rooms downstairs ...

Mother and daughter described a typical day at home in Jidda. After a late night. both sleep late. Monica starts the day by tending her rose trees In the garden and checking on her pet gazelles .. down from 15 to three right now -- which are caged In the compound. She may drop in to see one of her cousins, a stepsister or other familY members Sometimes she reads. practices the piano or does needlepoint. If she has gotten up early before II has gotten too hot. she may seek out a cousin for a game of tennis, swim in the pool within the high walls of the compound or take her Yorkshire terrier "Cosino" for a run. Her mother. who always rises late. says her first order of business is to go through the house with the servants to see what is needed and If things are In order. Fortunately, there ls no menu planning to do. Lunch may be at 2:30 or even as late as 4 p.m.. depending on her husband's schedule . Ali Allreza always rests briefiY after lunch in the heat of the afternoon. She rests but does not take a siesta. The womenfolk have frequent tea-and· talk parties In the afternoons with 6 p rn. the accepted time for tea. The men get horne late from the office -- around 8 p .m. or so·· and the evening meal may be at 9 or 9 :30 or later. depending on how many people are involved The women always wear lon9 gowns for the evening meal and are unveiled al home. For formal affairs, the men wear black thobes. mstead of the usual white trdditional Arab thobe. Meals are always served buffet-style and a good thing, too. since Mrs. Alireza says no one ever knows how many people to expect at a party. Arab hospitality being what It Is. And how do two such seemingly liberated, well-travelled women feel about wearing the abaya -- the long black veil covering the face -- when they are home in Saudi? Mrs. Alireza smiles and shrugs. "01 course, I wear It when I go downtown with All or a driver But I can't remember going downtown more than four or five times In my life. I can always send a servant to do errands" Monica, who wears her favorite St. Laurent or Valentino ensembles under her veil. claims she doesn't mind wearing the veil outside. "All the entertaining Is done in homes of families and close friends and we don't normally veU there," she says. The Ambassador, who has been amused by the conversation, notes mildly "The word 'harem' Is derived from an Arabic word meaning sacred. We cherish our women. you know." Apparently. changes are coming to Saudi Arabia too. One sees more unveiled women downtown these days. The wearing of long sleeves seems to satl5fy the religious Mullahs who patrol the souks. A woman can now divorce her husband If he is cruel or mistreats her. However. she may not divorce him simply because he has followl'd the Islamic custom of taking another wtfe, up

to the allowable four permitted by Mohammed in the Koran. Saudi even has some women doctors. Perhaps one reason that life does not get claustrophobic for a pretty and gregario~s Amerlcan·bom girl like Monica is that she IS very close to her mother and her stepfather and the three of them are always on the move. "Just for fun," she hos appUed for an internship at Sothebys In London •. like the one Caroline Kennedy completed recently starting next September. She does a lot of visiting with old school chums in London, Paris and elsewhere, and skis at St. Moritz during the season. The family has a summer home In Evlan. outside Geneva, which they use as a base for a month each summer. From there they can Oy off to the Sporting Oub at Monaco or to the Casino at Cannes whenever the spirit moves them. The Alireza family also has a vacation house at Tail In the mountains not far from Jidda where they can escape the 115 to 120 degree temperatures of summer in town. Every Thursday at noon. without fall. the family leaves Jidda for Its weekend house on the Creek, a coral-filled Inlet of the Red Sea where they spend Fridays, the Moslem Holy Day Families not only pray together. they stay together ,on that day. Both Mrs. Allreza and her daughter are Rornan Catholics, but apparently the fact that there are no churches In Saudi Arabia (other than mosques) has not been a problem for thel'l1· It would seem from talking to her that Mrs. Alireza's cup runneth over A few days after our interview, she was scheduled to fly back to Jidda with her family with an overnight stopover In Parts. Both she and Monica had a jam-packed schedule of appointments at St Laurent, Lanvin and Valentino to order their spring and sumrner wardrobes Both were looking forward to haircuts and beauty treatments at Alexandres on the Faubourg. " I expect our rooms will be filled with flowers. Ali always arranges that." said his wife. Is there anything she wants she doesn't yet have'? "Oh. I'd like Ali to have a private jet and · oh yes, a Rolls He says the streets are still too torn up 4!md the trcffic too undisciplined at home for him to buy me the car." Before he rushed off to the office after luncheon, the Ambassador assured us of his country's continued prosperity in the future. "We have recently discovered more oil reserves. you know. Even so, the King Is building two large petro-chem1cal plants. one on the Arabian Gulf and one on the Red Sea. We are developing our mineral resources. Iron ore. nickel, and Un. And. of course, right after World War II we started to work the gold In King Solomon's Mine 70 miles north of Jidda.

Paradise or Purgatory ,--for Bankers?

Showing Spring

By VIOLA DRA TH

The flood of forums on the acquisition of

art and the many publications that inform

their readers about the great current Investments In paintings and works of SCulpture, usually have one shortcoming: they neglect to tell how to finance our Passion for the object beautiful. We learn about changing collecting Patterns, new artistic directions, and changing tastes. For example: balmy, long despised 19th-century landscapes. replete With contented cows and rosy sunsets, are respectable once more. And nobody need apologize for the slightly heroic Remington bronzes that have graced attics during the Past avant-garde-minded decades. RemIngton's fine detail is appreciated again to the tune of up to $125,000 for a good one. Experts like Peter Wilson , the savvy chairman of London's Sotheby Parke Bernet (who, Incidentally, pronounces the "f') tip us off to splendid bargains In medieval Pottery. Based on the actual buying power of the dollar, Wilson maintains, prices for really good art as weU as fine antiques have Âˇâ&#x20AC;˘ despite appearances to the contrary .. not dramatically Increased over the last hundred Years. Compared to $50,000 In 1931, Important Renaissance jewelry sold at

$96,000 in 1970 a price which, In effect, represents less money! At $475.000 the companion piece to Marie Antoinette's secretaire. crafted by the famed Rlesener, Is considered to be a bargain by the experts, Inasmuch as that price Is barely equivalent to the sum paJd in 1882 . Obviously. all Is relative In the pricing of obJects d'art. Whlle Gray Boone's "Letter" deals with the rising popularity and prices of African art (a mask from Gabon that sold for $2,000 a few years ago recently Jumped to $40,000) and the decline of the Haitian boom. Milton Esterow's ARTnewsletter focuses on the favorable market for American Western art, paintings, drawings, and bronzes, and the new Interest in Russian icons. New York, the undisputed capital of the art world. is about to dethrone london as the center of the world market for old masters and l!lntiques, already an annual three button dollar business in America! Bankers may not be knowledgeable about art, but they do understand figures. Watching the expanding art market, some of them have taken a new look at art financing for collectors and potential buyers of works of art. To be sure. art financing Is not off to a

running start. Nevertheless, a handful of bankers around the country are wUiing to talk and engage In loans in this "great unbanked area," as George LeMa Istre. director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, put it. Despite the fresh crop of museums. galleries. collectors. and young art fanciers in our town, Washington's bankers are not among the pioneers In art loans. Chi!lri!lctertstically, John Bacon, who lnrtlated a program of art lending in conjunction with an exhibitions program several years 1190 at the Commonwealth National Bank In Dallas, Texas, Is a collector Meanwhile over 400 loans. mostly to collectors. have been made without a penny's loss. The loans range up to $100,000, and average about $5.000 each Approximately 90 percent were Installment loans at a rate of 11 to 12 percent interest. The criteria Commonwealth developed In evaluating Its art loan applications were to a large degree adopted by other banking Institutions. Good credit standing, appraisal of the coll11teral by auction houses and major galleries. authentication and. most lm· portantly, marketabihty of the work of art ·· (blinkers are wary of non-Income producrn9 assets) - are conditions that have to be met before one banker's precious dime changes hands' Another bank that fearlessly plunged into art frnandng using art as security on a s~tematic basts Is the Amalgamated Trust and Saving~ Bank of Chicago. Its chairman. Martin Gecht. is also a devoted art collector who serves on the board of trustees of the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art and the pnnts and drawings committee of the Chicago Art Institute. Gecht has made It a policy to extend credit not only to collectors and dealers, but In a few instances to artists In need of working capital as well. Amalgamated, currently In the process of proposing a program on loans for museum acquisitions, has on occasion purchased and held the work of art Instead of extending credit.

Sir John Pope-Hennessey's curt dismissal of Certificates of authenticity as letters that rnake pictures more saleable Is of no help to the purchaser either. The eminent Sir John, distinguished scholar and past director of The British Museum as well as The Victoria and Albert. and present chairman of the Metropolitan's Department for European Paintings, made some chtlhng points in hls treatise on "The Forging of ltaUan Renaissance Sculpture " Much to the dismay of everybody In the art world. he Indicated that even the most prominent collections. all of them vouched for by great expert5 (among them the Samuel H .

Racing on rounds by day, the "Docs" play circles around each other by night and are in regular demand for parties and balls year 'round. They donate the entirety of their professional feed to the National Kldney Foundation and Georgetown Unlvenlty, to name a few.

worthy. "Not Peter. He was the Inspiration." With past and present board affiliation with the W.P A.S, National Symphony. YMCA, Christ Church and the Audubon Society, neither Peter Ladd nor Melody are strangers to the arena of civic involvement. And because the Gilseys have always tried to involve their 17-year-old daughter Renee In their community projects. their fruit will not fall far from the tree. When queried about those civic Instincts which often make for missed dinners and weekend-less weeks, Melody responded, "We're all one big family of friends and acquaintances who live, work and raise our families In this Capital community. If we who live here really expect to improve the character around us, we must. as Eleanot Roosevelt said, 'Light a candle rather than curse the darkness.' That's exactly what we are all about." As any veteran will tell you, chairing one of Washington's major balls can be a twelve-hour-a-day job, especially in those last weeks when the hour hand advances at supersonic speed. So how does Melody Gilsey maintain that eternal look of having been freshly dipped in peaches and milk? "I always try to take naps before we go out, but the most important thing Is the hot bath followed by the cold shower." Yoga and modem dance with Renee keep Melody enviably svelte enough to do stunning justice to the couture of Halston and Anne Klein. her favorite designers. A savvy lady with a heightened sense of what's fashionably right for her. Melody votes for moderation rather than volume in her clothing purchases and cleverly rejuvenates an oft-worn outfit with 000 lots of dramatic accessories.

Nor are her roses reserved solely for the aforementioned . As a Corcoran docent for several years, Jinx feels particularly well qualified to render certain opinions about the kind or women who do volunteer work at Washington's oldest gallery. "I think that the women in the Corcoran volunteer force are pretty special In that there is no elitism, no dile ttantism . These aren't women who are trying to pass hours between shopping trips and bridge games. And many of them couldn't give a hoot about social standing. They are simply dedicated to doing what they can to help the Corcoran continue its long-standing commitment to the genius of American art." Because she's the type of lady who had a terrific time at her own wedding. Jinx will probably succeed In having the time of her life at her own big party In April . She attributes at least some of her equanimity to an arachnid named 'Scorpio ~ ' "When things 42 / 00SSJER

In addition to help from Scorpio, Jinx also credits peace and cooperation on the homefront as valuable supports during her tenure as ball chairman. "My husband and daughter have been most conspicuous non-complainers and real boosters when I've needed them most." Standing a tad under live feet presents a tall shopping problem for the lady who admits to a fondness for fabric that ts soft and sensual and who has a trunk full of same to prove 1t. As a result. Jinx is no stranger to her sewing machine, where she spends a great deal of time 'sizing down' her store-bought size two's and four's. Diminutive though she may be, Jinx Cutts DOD packs a whammy punch .

Confessions of St. Augustine, Imitation of Christ and the Companion to the Summa are especially meaningful.

Suburban Stars in Olde Town 0 Some outstanding eateries have begun to shine In Alexandria, like little jewels one can see across the river from Haines Point. We'd like to tell you about several places The Educated Palate sampled in the little old city steeped In history _

King's Landing can be found right across the street from Dockside. It Is decorated in Early American wood and brick, but the cuisine is definitely French. Theii Ulustrious appetizer Bouchee Regence convinced us of the continental opportunities.. Generous chunks of chicken. sweetbreads and mushrooms Me mated in chicken broth and wine-based sauce and enclosed in a puff pastry shell with a veil of hollandaise on top. It was a crowning beginning As a main dlsh, the Turbot Poche did not meet eMiler expectations. To be sure, it was a fine and generous serving, but somehow the fish was too fragile. The accompanying hollandaise helped, but the taste of the fish was too weak to hold Its own . Nevertheless, a Chablis Vaillons 1974 went welL Nolsettes d'Agneau was more successful. Little discs of tender lamb were wrapped ln bacon and grilled to perfection. A St. Emilion 1973 was eMiy-maturing and delightful. lies flortantes was our choice for dessert. Feathery meringue was dappled with cocoa sauce and floated in an ethereal vanilla-laced sauce -- marvelous. The cafe au lait elegance of Pellicano lured us next. Franco Landini Is at the helm of one of the most handsome restaurants we've seen -- the buff decor is brightened by both real and painted spots of leafy greenery. Mussels Neopolitano sta rted us off; the mollusks were Immersed in a red garlic sauce . Tortellini In cream succeeded -homemade diaphanous pasta in little rings enclosing a meat miXture of veal, pork, chicken and cheese. We'll be back for seconds! Any dish bearing the owner/ chefs name Is usually a winner, and Veal Landini was no exception. Pounded white veal, mushrooms and asparagus were covered by a subtle sauce and mozzarella, then browned under the broiler. The special, Valdostana, didn't quite measure up to the other's

greatness. Veal, fontina and prosciutto were enclosed in a batter and deep-fried; the end result was doughy, and retained too much grease. But a 1972 ltaUan Ruffino Orvleto was appropriately full-bodied and dry. The salad Pellicano Is deserving of praise, with radishes. mushrooms. and aragula among its salad staples. Zuccotta was our dessert. The closest thing we can compare It to is an Italian-English trifle sponge cake, zabaglione, coffee-whipped cream , almonds, chocolate and Amoretto make up this frozen delight. La Bergerie is just three months old ln its new location on Lee Street. We delighted in the Auberge atmosphere of brick highlighted by touches of teal, and .started with Oysters Rockefeller and Plperade Basquaise The oysters were covered with fresh puree of spinach and cheese. Happily enough, they were not swimming in either buner or sauce ·· hooray for lighter beginnings' The Piperade is a Basque specia.lty -- pureed eggs. green pepper and tomato topped by curls of country ham ·· and it is truly unique with rich country taste. The Snapper Oboure was outstanding. Fresh snapper was joined by a mixture of mushrooms, mussels and baby shrimp (and a touch of Piperade) in a definitive sauce Dieppoise. A Chateau Carbonnleux's dryness (1973) balanced the richer dish, Cotes d'Agneau Grilles Navaraise. our other entree, was moist rack lamb chops with a cream sauce. A Cotes de Beaune Villages, 1972. was in perfect Burgundian harmony. The superb salad was a spring bouquet, with tomatoes, mushrooms, watercress, endive, hearts of palm and romaine all arranged artfully on the plate. The vinaigrette was mild and tasty. The real espresso served at La Bergerle is a pleasure to find ·· so many restaurants mix th~ rich roast With their regular coffee. The Gallette de Basques, baked almond-rum custard in a feathery crust. was a light ending to a perfect meal. Taverna Cretekou was our neKt stop . Slightly off the beaten track, the restaurant is on King Street, further in town, but the whitewashed brick walls and colorful decorations immediately take one back to sunny Crete, !man Baildi, eggplant stuffed with tomatoes and onion , was an excellent start. The spicy olive oil dressing melded the flavo rs beautifully. Taramsalata, a salmon caviar whipped with olives and lemon , made a uniquely piquant pate . The Spanakotiropita -- spinach and feta cheese enclosed in an airy filo turnover, should definitely not be missed either. We chose Retsina, the resin-flavored folk wine of Greece . to join our meal. although the restaurant offers ten other Greek wines as well . Our entrees Included Kalamarakiu Tiganlta -- fried squld In light batter, Pastitslo and Tashkebab Smyrna The squid was delicious. Pastitslo is basically ground beef

This year, I had hoped to drift away from astrology in this column , and dwell on something a little more -- er -- creditable. Not a chancel Dossier readers have given me to understand In no uncertain terms that they want more astrological trivia. So be it. You must know by know that I am a huncher. not an astrologer. I have no idea how to compose a chart. I don't have much faith in the planets, and Heaven knows I think horoscope columns are almost as unreliable as lhe predictions of our professional "psychics," poor dears .. although I do read Carroll Righter In The Washington Post and Sydney Oman in The Washington Star. Faithfully. Getting acquainted with the ingredients of the twelve recipes that The Almighty uses to create us can be an entertaining way to penetrate the silly facades that people tend to fashion for themselves. And I suppose having our fortunes told or our destinies charted by an astrologer are harmless diversions, as long as we bear In mind that those who perform these dazzling feats are erring humans such as we. In plotting my own future, I prefer to tum to trusted loved ones and the Lord for enhghtenment. The way Jimmy Carter does lt. He has one friend in particular, back home In Georgia. whose brain he has been picking for at least ten vears. He is Charles Klrbo . a perceptive Pisces who was born on the fifth of March. the same as leonard Marks , Rep . Helen Meyner . Rex Harrison , Sam· antha Eggar . the late Jack Cassidy. Rep . Delbert latta and DoS$Ier editor Sonia Adler Klrbo told journalist Henry MItch ell that he Is "a plain man of reasonable good sense, with no political ambition whatever, wishing merely to practice law in Atlanta" and take care of his farm. He has been described as Carter's alter-ego; a man with a flair lor sifting facts from fantasy; "the grey eminence of the President's world view." U.S. News & World Report recently referred to him as a man with "a southern drawl that masks a bright and cunning mind."

HISTORY NEVER TASTED SO DELICIOUS! Maryland Imperial Crab, a nickelodeon, Veal Cordon Bleu, a prize-winning Grandfather's clock, and thick juicy steaks! Thal's justa few of a thousand-and-one delights that greet the visitor to the historic Blau Mansion Inn, located just over the District line in Silver Spnng, Maryland.

Most Pisceans (born Feb. 19 through March 20) can be uncannily intuitive and objective in assessing the problems of others (it's a pity we aren't as adroit with ow own dilemmas) . The President may or may not be aware of this. but I have a hunch he knows he can count on Klrbo's observations, and will continue to use him as a sounding board for at least four more years. Kirbo once turned down an appointment to the U.S. Senate, and he probably could have had any post he coveted in the new administration, including the Vice Presidency (instead, he personally selected Walter Mondale for the job). You won't see his name in print often if he can help it-路 remember. I've been telling you that Pisces would rather be the power behind the throne (the logic behind my ten-year-old hunch that Ted Kennedy has no mtention of ever running for the Presidency) 路- but I have a hunch Charles Kirbo is now the most powerful Pisces in the land . Thus, he gets my nod as ''Pisces of the Year." Running a close second is Elizabe th Taylor . whose marital proximity to the Nation's Capital was no whim of Cupid's. John Warner is the ideal husband for her; the marriage affords her access to a new kind of personal power. I have a hunch she'll use it wisely. Lucky fellow , that Aquarian . Third In line is the debonalr Secretary General of the Organization of American States. Alejandro Orflla , who has survived the hazards of enterprising single ladies (and a few not so single), the mosl gossipy press corps In the world, and a battalion of competitive diplomats with diverse notions about how the western hemisphere should be manipulated. I have a hunch Alejandro is going to avoid marriage this year, and his international power is going to expand. Kirbo, Taylor and Orfila should be hopeful symbols to the sundry Pisces people whose presences are felt here. You know some of them: Louisiana Congresslady Lindy Boggs, Gilbert Gude, who can have the Governor's mansion in Annapolis -- if he can survive the vicious gossip that's whirling around him at the moment -- our new Ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young , Former Ford Counsellor Philip Buc hen , Lynda Robb , whose Pisces power is going to be the decisive factor in Chuck's political ambitions, and Jamie Auchincloss , who was named one of America's most eligible bachelors in a recent issue of The Natrona/ Enquirer. If you happen to be one of those rare creatures who seethe With an Insatiable craving for fame , fortune and ultimate immortality, I have a hunch you'd better look around for a Pisces confidante. They'll keep your secrets, listen to your woes, and give your ego that necessary nudge. Probably gratis -- we are the Patsys of the zodiac, you know. . HAL GOULD

How to Open a Swiss Bank Account

James Kelder Thomas Crowell and Co $9 95

0 Switzerland. The best skl slopes, chocolate and jewelry to be found In Western Europe. the home of secret numbered bank accounts, in fact and fiction linked with the Mafia, tax evasion and international intrigue. In his informative. well-researched and excellently written manual on Swiss banking, Kelder tells his readers. not how to become part of that time-worn cliche but rather. in practical terms the nows and whys of opening a Swiss bank account. In the first place, Kelder says, inflation , and what it is doing to the American dollar. Is the real reason any United States citizen should open a Swiss bank account, and deposit as much money as possible before government restrictions are imposed. Clifford Irving and the "Howard Hughes hoax" notwithstanding, Swiss banks really aren't all that mysterious. As Kelder notes. bank accounts in foreign countries are legal for Americans, and numbered accounts are available In Panama, the Bahamas, Singapore. Uruguay and Hong Kong. "Even Communist Hungary now offers secret tax-free savings accounts to residents of the Wesh:rru World." But none of the5e nations have been able to match Switzerland's 700-year-old tradition of political neutrality and economic stability ·- a tradition that has caused Switzerland to evolve into one of the great financial centers of the world at the geographic crossroads of the European continent. lt is this predse tradition of stability that makes the fretful American dollar more desirable as a bank deposit in Swiss francs . The author is careful not to advocate any financial hanky·panky for those who might contemplate a secret Swiss bank account and is quick to note such an account does not have to be secret But as he says. "A Swiss account IS not secret if the owner brags about it to his acquaintances. If a divorce is

a possibility. or a spouse Is simply talkative, wisdom suggests that he or she not be told that a Swiss account even exists. If taxes are evaded. prudence prohibits letting one's accountant know; the IRS pays informers well for information on tax evaders. Above all, if a Swiss account is maintained as a 5ecret account, common sense rules out accumulating a file of letters and statements from a Swiss bank; records provide evidence, and evidence convicts.'' But as he says. if you're planning to keep your accounl a secret from U.S. tax authorities, don't be naive enough, or foolish enough, to make your deposits In money orders that can and will be traced . Kelder is indeed a cautious man. and advises his readers to be the same Above all, know what you're doing before you do it, he suggests. He offers practical information on how to open an account. conducting banking business by overseas mail in French or German and suggests that a personal trip to Swit2erland may only be necessary for extremely large deposits (over $50.000) or for peace of mind. While he does believe in Swiss bank accounts as a hedge against lhe erosion of the dollar . Kelder is by no means a doomsayer of the American economy, and in fact says, "There is a good chance that the US . economy will remain the world's largest and strongest " He ends on a cautionary note: ''There seems to be a growing awareness that overgovernment and overspending will ruin us all; a recognition that liberals and conservatives. Kansas farmers and San Francisco porno czars, Harlem hustlers and Houston oil equipment distributors. Florida retirees and Wisconsin graduate students are all in the same economic boat ... As a result of having written this book ... ! would not be surprised il the Internal Revenue Service called me in for a retaliatory audit every year --BA RBARA STARR from now on."

Hiss, Alger's journalist son. at last rescues !he family name from the slime of distorted history. Alger. you will remember. was that seemingly somber fellow whose brillianl career was smashed by a perjury trial and conviction when Whittaker Chambers accused him of being part of a communist cell in Washington, which Alger denied. 1\ made Richard Nixon. one of his prlndpa ~ccusers famous, and put the words ''Pumpkin Papers" in the lexicon of weird Washington folklore. A lot has happened to Alger since those unfortunate times. He went to the cooler. He got a job as a printing salesman . He divorced his wife He was reinstated as a lawyer. II turns out, according to son TonY路 that Alger is a happy man today, happy as hell. He IJves with a lady friend tn Manhattan. likes good wine and Italian food路 loves hls son. laughs a lot and practices a little law. While a sweaty palmed Nixon frets 111 exile. and Whittaker Chambers pushes uP daisies and the memory of Joe McCarthY seems a bad Joke. Alger has survived it all. laughing last.

It's all a kind of white man's Roots and TonY describes it with dash and not one drop of self路pily_ It's like that turkey of a pulp plot where the hero gets dumped on until things get unbearable. Then the worm turns and the hero emerges triumphant. No matter. It makes you feel good when you ftnish it. Seeing Alger and Tony's smiling faces on the cover. one cannot help thinking that Alger was also the victim of lousy publiC relations He never smi.led for the cameras. which always caught him uptight and gloomy His wife. as well.

But. then, Alger never went for contrivances We think that everyone involved in the Washington hustle should read thls book.

INSURE YOUR PAINTINGS and OBJETS d'ART

No other portrait anywhere has excited so much admiration and curiosity as this painting of a Florentine ltuly. Art critics praise the soft roundness of the hands and face, and the exceUence of the misty background landscape. But the ordinary obseroer is likely to notice the lady's smile. The smile has been called "mysteriou"'," "mocking," "questioning," "ironical," and a great many other things, all expressing qualities very different from mere kindness and good nature. But about MoM Lisa herselfnot much is known except that she Wa$ the third wife of a certain Zanobi del Giocondo. Hence, the picture is often called "La Gioconda." The picture shows La Gioconda seated on a bakony. Behind her is a dreamlike landscape of brown and blue mountai118 forming a remarkably satisfying background/or the portrait itulf. The lady is simply but n路chly dreued. Her hands have been described as the most perfectly drawn hands in Italian art. The face is so full of feeling and intelligence that its expression seems to change from moment to moment like the face of a living perscm.
