Beneath The Mask An Ambassador -- Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, U.S. Ambassador to Italy, chats with a fellow guest during Foreign Press Club Masked Ball in Rome's historical Mattei Palace. Feature of the evening was an award as "Space Girl of 1954" to Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida. Today an American journalist, Donald Allan, of Washington, D.C., is being held in a Rome jail in connection with the stabbing of an Italian student, who was returning form the gay foreign foreign press costume party with Allan's wife.
