Hotel De Alcantara P EQ Rio de Ianiero, Brazil April 14, 1955 Dear Audrey: I believe this is Pan American Week back in the United States. When I was in school celebrating the important event, little did I think that some day I would be in South America at an International Conference. The opening sessions were held today at the Monroe Palace. 'Doug Bassett, lean Bowen and William Bush of the Inter-American Lines chartered ships to bring malty of the delegates here. ,Ioan King's well-known helicopter, designed by Stuart Carney and john Kurnat, was parked behind the Palace. As I neared the magnificent building, I saw a flashbulb explode when Ben Rand of the NEW YORK TIMES caught Mary ,lean Cameron laughing at comedian lohn Tondera while they ascended the steps. 1 recognized many of the people in the foyer as former classmates of mine. In one corner Doctor Elaine Urban was absorbed in conversation with Doctor Robert Mueller, Doctor Peter Pullman and others whom I did not know. Mary Rose 0'Connor, who has lived in Brazil for several years while experimenting in her private laboratories, was visiting with them. The salon, colorful with national flags, was prepared for the distinguished visitors, who represented various professions. Irene Siezega, the presiding oficer, called the meeting to order. She explained that the purpose of the Conference was to share one's discoveries and knowledge with the rest of the world. Hollywood celebrities Marjorie Lorich, Ann W erkley, Bill jacques, Dot Oldenburg and Clarence Moeller took the floor to discuss the people's wants in radio, television and movies. Within a short time Anthony Clementino, Ed Zegler, Paul Carter, ,lack Dailey and Carl Hopkins held a discussion on sport needs. The meeting continued with Libbie Bohlen, Allen Hock and Edna Landers relating new and better ways of teaching. Later Pat Dujenski, Mary Moranis, ,lean Grehlinger and Ted Swiercz talked over the food problems. The meeting was concluded for the day, after Elizabeth Ackerman, Wilbur Amacher and Charles W erth told of the new trends of modern literature. On the way out, I overheard Lois ,lean Stahl, Ruth Zorkas, Sallie Sloat and Cae Jaeger arguing about the latest Paris fashions. The meeting will resume tomorrow morning. I had intended going to bed early to- night, but a ball was held in the Blue Room of the Hotel, so, I went down there, and lo and behold whom should I find playing but Bill Kohler and his Orchestra. What a surprisel I spent a wonderful evening renewing old acquaintances. Audrey, how is your new job as secretary to the famous lawyer, Walter W itte? 1 hope you like it! I plan to be here several weeks, so, I'll be expecting to hear from you. Very sincerely yours, M A RCA R E T
