It will then proceed to Warsaw for a three-day stop and from there to Moscow for five or more days. Most prominent in the delegation will be Robert Spear Hudson, Secretary of the Department of Overseas Trade...

Yet it stands to reason that she should receive something near the $35 income which is guaranteed to waitresses outside educational institutions and who are legally included in the Government's Social Security Program.
