Frau Von Papen Hooked
to Wife of Britisher

Ankara, Turkey, Nov. 3—AP—The ballroom of the Palas Hotel was jammed for the annual reception of the Turkish People's Party, and diplomats of all nations—accompanied by their wives—were crowded shoulder to shoulder.

That is how a pin on the dress of Mrs. Michael O'Donnel, wife of the British naval attache, caught in the dress of Frau von Papen, wife of the German ambassador, locking them helplessly back to back.

Aides of both embassies fluttered helplessly and the pair stared icily in opposite directions until a Turkish protocol officer took charge.

Once disengaged the ladies marched off without a backward glance.
