Miss Aase Alm Private Secretary to the Secretary General of the United 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 Lequerica Ambassador Permanent Representative of Spain to 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 becauseII of the introductions from Spellman and de Lequerical~. THE WHITE HOUSE

Dear Mis s De Anda:
I have been asked to reply to your letter to the President relative to surplus food. Your inter est in submitting a forthright expression of your views is appreciated.
Secretary of Agriculture Benson and representa tives of the major wheat exporting nations met in Washington on May fourth to explore means of utilizing food in the cause of peace. I feel sure that the enclosed White House release which tells of the Food for Peace Conference will be of special interest to you.
The kind wishes you extend mean much to the President.
Sincerely yours,

President Dwight D. Eisenhower The White House Waahington, D.C.
Dear Mr. Pre.ident, In my opinion, We, the people or the United states are ind.ividually beooming an acc~lioe to the crime of letting our brothers die or starvatIon. We let our tood surplus rot ~ worse, we ~ to ret It rot (Seoretary Benson r"iPOrted that it ooste us $1 Million a day just for storage of the government's aocumulation or unsold surplus farm commodities). I wander if it would oost that much to transport it to our hungry friends in other natIOns? Keeping tne prIce up in the world market Is one excuse g1ven. Well, most of the people that are in dire need of food are just going without because they can't aftord to bUt it. Yea, we would have to differentiate, determine, or ae ect those that truly could not afford to bU7 it at market. We could set an example for-our cousins in the other four surplus producing countries. I teel they are really decent and would follow suit. Because how could they dare to call thEllDUlelves our f'r1ends and anne sam. time ask our conscience to d80ay along w1th our tood just so they might enJoy more comfort and convenienoe? By tultilling our priVile~. and obligat10n or feed1ng the world's hungry, we woul not onIy gratlt7 our soul, but would gain the respect and love of our fellow humans who we would help to remain free. And the1r love or go~ ~, dear S1B, would be a most powert\11 and effective weapon against oommun1sm and 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. IMMEDlATE RELZAS]!: May 6, 1959

Moliere, author and actor, was the director of one of the troupes. For almost three centuries, the Comedie Fran(aise, thus established, has withstood all the vicissitudes of history: W,lfS, revolutions and changes of Regime. It has maintained the independence and the prestige of the Company which is entirely responsible for its own decisions. The Comedie Fran(aise is the guardian of a glorious tradition of acting and of a style constantly rejLl\cnated by the inclusion of works of new playwrights and of new generations of actors. BENEFITTING .. ALLIANCE FRAN~AISE The "ALLIANCE FRAN~AISE" was founded in Tunis and incorpo rated in P,His. in 1883 by such men as future Ambassadors Paul CAMBON and Jean-Jules JUSSERAND to propagate the French language and culture abroad. The New York Chapter of the ALLI ANCE was founded in 1898 by American friends of France under the inspiring guidance of Ambassador Jules CAMBON and was incorporated on March 22, 1907, in the State of New York. The ALLIANCE FRAN<;AISE scholarships are now very well known throughout France and the United States. Started in 1953 with 2 scholarships, this program permitted the award of 27 scholarships in 1960 and is expected to expand still further. These scholarships are granted to American and French students, mostly at pre-doctoral or post-doctoral levels, for advanced studies respectively in France and the United States. FRENCH AMERICAN CULTURAL SERVICES AND EDUCATIONAL AID (FACSEA) The SOCIETY FOR FRENCH AMERICAN CULTURAL SERVICES AND EDUCATIONAL AID (FACSEA) has been in existence since 1947. Founded to prepare and distribute audio-visual materials to teachers of French language and culture in the United States, it serves schools, universities, libraries, museums and other educational organi zations. It is estimated that 25,000 programs in the country bene/it yearly from the FACSEA services. An important development of FACSEA is the establishment of a fund for loans to French teachers and students and for Summer Grants for travel and study in France. The FACSEA grants enable American teachers of French in High Schools and Colleges to get first hand knowledge about France and her culture. This program has received a ,'ery enthLlSiastic response from educators for its important role in the cultmal relations between France and the United States. , GALA COMMITTEES FOR THE COMEDIE FRAN~AISE CHAIRMAN Mrs. Low<:ll W <:ick<:r VICE·CHAIRMEN Mrs. Hmri Blanch<:nay HONORARY COMMITTEE Mrs. HUH?

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. THE CAST ....
