General and Mrs. Romulo welcome Eleanor Roosevelt to the presidential reception and supper-dance they hosted at the grand ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on the night of November 14, 1949, nearly two months after the General was elected president of the UN General Assembly. Held in honor of the delegates of the fifty-nine nations who attended the fourth session of the UN, the affair was the talk of the UN and New York City society for weeks.
