Those of the about 300 guests -who came expecting a drawing room dialogue from the fa-- mous playwright of "The Women" were not disappointed. Neither were those who came to hear the Republican politician and diplomat who was a member of Con-. gress from Connecticut-and an am-bassador to Rome.

She. chastised Weinberger for popularizing the phrase "build-down." ."The secretary is a great patriot," she said, "but -he would certainly do the country a favor-if he would get rid of `build-down.' " She said she learned at a party re- cently that. former senator J. William Fulbright had never forgiven her for the time she corrected his use of imply and infer. And she told about the con- gressman who told one of her verbal victims not to mind her because "her real vocation is writing. She attaches meaning to the use of words." Luce told of a time she met her match. "When `The Women' was a success in London, I was brave enough to ask Sylvia Astor to introduce me to George Bernard Shaw. I wrote out in may mind what I was going to say " But when 1iie- was shown into Shaw's study, he ignored her for so long she forgot her speech. "I just blurted out;'Mr. Shaw, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't-be here ..: He looked at me and - said, `And what is your mother's name?"" Pachter asked Luce -which of her many roles she preferred. She said the most wonderful was to be mother to her daughter, who was killed in a car accident at 19. Luce.said she mourned the grandchildren she might have had.. And in a characteristic shift, from .dark to light,-she went on to say she was proudest of- learning scuba diving after she was 50. "I took a certain pride in that Pres- ident Eisenhower gave me 14 missions to accomplish as ambassador to Italy. And I accomplished 15-I persuaded Italy and Yugoslavia to settle their territorial dispute. I believe it is the only border disagreement since World War II solved short of war." Luce admitted that her first ambi- tion was to be a playwright despite ber subsequent diplomatic career. In con- versation after the formal dialogue, she said she has a_play "gestating. But you know the kind -of life we lead often acts as an abortion to the creative im- pulse." It is said no woman can be too thin or too rich.
