New York, September 14, 1959

Miss Aase AlmPrivate Secretary to theSecretary General of theUnited Nations.New York,N.Y.

Dear Miss AIm:

I have received today a letter from

His Eminence Cardinal Spellman, introducing Miss

Mary de Anda, from Houston, Texas, and asking me

to receive her. During the course of the conversa­

tion Miss de Anda told me that she wishes to present

her compliments to Mr. Hammarskjold and speak to him

about a personal matter. I have called her attention

about the difficulty of such an interview, as I person­

ally cannot arrange for this meeting not knowing myself

the nature of same.

But in view of the interest shown by

Cardinal Spellman, I am giving this letter of introduc­

tion to Miss de Anoa in the event that during your con­

versation with her you may be able to find something of

interest to the Secretary-General and, at the same time,

comply with the wishes of Miss de Anda.

Thanking you in advance for your kind

attention, I remain

Very truly yours,

~ ";;. &u-~..-~--"

Jose Felix de LequericaAmbassador

Permanent Representative of Spainto the United Nations.

I asked Miss de Anda to write to you, as you were

too busy at the moment to receive her; explained at

the same time that an appointment would be difficult

unless JPhe could give some information what it would

be about. I think you "WJ uld want to see this becauseIIof the introductions from Spellman and de Lequerical~.

THE ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT

Dear Mis s De Anda:

I have been asked to reply to your letter to thePresident relative to surplus food. Your inter­est in submitting a forthright expression of yourviews is appreciated.

Secretary of Agriculture Benson and representa­tives of the major wheat exporting nations met inWashington on May fourth to explore means ofutilizing food in the cause of peace. I feel surethat the enclosed White House release which tellsof the Food for Peace Conference will be of specialintere st to you.

The kind wishes you extend mean much to thePresident.

Sincerely yours,

Miss Mary L. De AndaBraeswood Medical Laboratory2259 W. HolcombeHouston 25, Texas

Dear Mr. Pre.ident,

In my opinion, We, the people or the United statesare ind.ividually beooming an acc~lioe to the crime ofletting our brothers die or starvatIon. We let our toodsurplus rot ~ worse, we~ to ret It rot (SeoretaryBenson r"iPOrted that it ooste us $1 Million a day just forstorage of the government's aocumulation or unsold surplusfarm commodities). I wander if it would oost that much totransport it to our hungry friends in other natIOns? Keepingtne prIce up in the world market Is one excuse g1ven. Well,most of the people that are in dire need of food are justgoing without because they can't aftord to bUt it. Yea, wewould have to differentiate, determine, or ae ect thosethat truly could not afford to bU7 it at market. We couldset an example for-our cousins in the other four surplusproducing countries. I teel they are really decent andwould follow suit. Because how could they dare to callthEllDUlelves our f'r1ends and anne sam. time ask ourconscience to d80ay along w1th our tood just so they mightenJoy more comfort and convenienoe? By tultilling ourpriVile~. and obligat10n or feed1ng the world's hungry,we woul not onIy gratlt7 our soul, but would gain therespect and love of our fellow humans who we would help toremain free. And the1r love or go~ ~, dear S1B, wouldbe a most powert\11 and effective weapon against oommun1smand therefore a great defender of~ awn freedom.

Very s1ncerely,

P. S. I love you Mr. Eisenhower, because you deserve it.

May God blese, keep, and guide you.

ILA COMEDIE FRAN~AISE

On October 21, 1680, Louis XIV founded the Comedie Franc,aiseand commanded that the two existing troupes of French players beunited and that no other Company be allowed to produce plays inParis. Moliere, author and actor, was the director of one of thetroupes.

For almost three centuries, the Comedie Fran(aise, thus established,has withstood all the vicissitudes of history: W,lfS, revolutions andchanges of Regime. It has maintained the independence and the prestigeof the Company which is entirely responsible for its own decisions.The Comedie Fran(aise is the guardian of a glorious tradition of actingand of a style constantly rejLl\cnated by the inclusion of works of newplaywrights and of new generations of actors.

BENEFITTING ..

ALLIANCE FRAN~AISE

The "ALLIANCE FRAN~AISE" was founded in Tunis and incorpo­rated in P,His. in 1883 by such men as future Ambassadors PaulCAMBON and Jean-Jules JUSSERAND to propagate the Frenchlanguage and culture abroad. The New York Chapter of the ALLI­ANCE was founded in 1898 by American friends of France underthe inspiring guidance of Ambassador Jules CAMBON and wasincorporated on March 22, 1907, in the State of New York.

The ALLIANCE FRAN<;AISE scholarships are now very well knownthroughout France and the United States. Started in 1953 with 2scholarships, this program permitted the award of 27 scholarships in1960 and is expected to expand still further. These scholarshipsare granted to American and French students, mostly at pre-doctoralor post-doctoral levels, for advanced studies respectively in Franceand the United States.

FRENCH AMERICAN CULTURAL SERVICES AND EDUCATIONAL AID (FACSEA)The SOCIETY FOR FRENCH AMERICAN CULTURAL SERVICESAND EDUCATIONAL AID (FACSEA) has been in existence since1947. Founded to prepare and distribute audio-visual materials toteachers of French language and culture in the United States, it servesschools, universities, libraries, museums and other educational organi­zations. It is estimated that 25,000 programs in the country bene/ityearly from the FACSEA services.

An important development of FACSEA is the establishment of afund for loans to French teachers and students and for SummerGrants for travel and study in France. The FACSEA grants enableAmerican teachers of French in High Schools and Colleges to getfirst hand knowledge about France and her culture. This program hasreceived a ,'ery enthLlSiastic response from educators for its importantrole in the cultmal relations between France and the United States.

L'IMPROMPTU DE VERSAILLES

A Comedy in one act, in prose. Presented for the first time in Versail1es

on October 14, 1663, this play is grace itself, a "triumph of the

theatre. "

The plot: Moliere and his troupe arc on the stage, in panic, for a

last minute rehearsal of a play to be performed before Louis XIV, in

which Moliere mocks the mannerisms, the bombastic acting of a rival

troupe and demonstrates the virtue of team work. He introduces each

of the actors of the company including his wife. In a witty, amusing

and sometimes moving manner, Moliere, Director and author of the

play, denounces the foibles of the "precieuses," "coquettes" and vain

"marguls.

LES FOURBERIES DE SCAPIN

A Comedy in threl acts presented for the first time in Paris, Sal1e du

Palais Royal by the "troupe du Roi" on May 24, 1671.

The plot: OCU\\'l has secretly married a young orphan of unknown

parlnl.\ge. His friend Leandre has fallen in love with a girl belonging

to a band of fortune tellers. The fathers of both young men devote

their cnlrgics to breaking up the marriage and the budding romance.

But Scalpin, the cle\'er valet, by means of ingenious tricks, masters the

situation. Youth and love triumph and the eventual discovery of the

true origins of the girls makes e\'eryone happy.
