Breakfast
The National Council of the
League of Women Voters, who
are holding their biennial
session here, relaxed today
with an Informal congres
sional breakfast at the Wil
lard Hotel, with many mem
bers of Congress attending as
special guests.
To preserve the atmosphere
of informality, there was no
head table and their were no
speeches, except tor a brief
greeting by Mrs. John O. Lee
of Farmington, Conn., na
tional league president.
The more than 100 dele
gates sat at State tables, and
after breakfast continued
their talks with their Con
gressmen with a visit to
Capitol Hill.
Members Hear President
It was a breather after the
excitement of yesterday when
the group visited the White
House to present President Ei
senhower with a document
outlining the league’s concern
in the international field, es
pecially economic aid.
As the group stood in the
sunlit rose garden, the Presi
dent, looking rested after his
Georgia vacation, addressed
them. In a IS. minute talk, he
grimly stressed the importance
to our national security of
continued foreign aid, espe
cially to underdeveloped coun
tries who need an economic
base to maintain their new in
dependence.
The document, signed by all
the delegates, cited the league's
support of International eco
nomic development and tech
nical assistance. “A sharp re
duction in this area of United
States responsibility,” it stated
in part, "cannot be justified at
this time.”
Two-Part Program
During their executive ses
sions. which are being held at
the Willard, council members .
are discussing the organize- j
tion's national progress on a
two-year "current agenda"
program in two selected fields.
The two programs, selected
by the national convention in
Denver a year ago, are: Indi
vidual liberties, evaluation of
the Federal loyalty - security
programs, with recognition of
the need for safeguarding na
tional security and protecting
individual liberties; and con
servation. a study of water re
sources.
Last night delegates viewed
a new league film, “Kill Only
the Ivy,” prepared as part of
the league's program to pro
mote public understanding and
interest in the Federal loyalty
security program.
The preamble of the film, in
defining its theme, points out
that "in the last 10 years, the
United States has been en
gaged in a gardening operation
directed at the poison ivy of
subversion. But there is a
difference of opinion as to
whether or not this particular
type of poison ivy has been
effectively stopped without per
manent injury” to the trees
and plants it has entwined.

Society
May Day Marchers
Go on Party Trek
By DAISY CLELAND
Most of Washington society
was on the move at some time
yesterday afternoon between
three parties. Hosts included a
Supreme Court justice, a form
er chief of protocol and an am
bassador. It was May day but
the marching here was only
between bars and buffets.
Justice and Mrs. Harold
Burton gave a reception in
honor of the two new Supreme
Court justices, Justice and Mrs.
William Joseph Brennan, jr.
and Justice Charles Evans
Whittaker.
Former Chief of Protocol
and Mrs. Stanley Woodward
had a 6-to-8 reception at their
Georgetown residence and the
Viet-Nam Ambassador, Mr.
Tran van Chuong, decorated
former United States Ambas
sador Angler Biddle Duke.
They Filled the House
The 5-to-7 reception given
by Justice and Mrs. Burton
seemed to crowd the entire
city into the Congressional
Club. Washington and its
cocktail parties have become
famous but the Burtons' party
proved that it is not the cock
tails as much as the important
people that are necessary for
social success.
There is never a drop of
liquor served in the Congres
sional Club but the mob scene
yesterday caused guests to
stand in line down the stairs
and out in the street for a good
half an hour.
Forming the receiving line
were the hosts, Justice and
Mrs. Brennan and Justice
Whittaker. Mrs. Whittaker was
not at the party as she is still
staying in their Kansas City
home to finish the school year
with their youngest son.
Another Charles Evans
Justice Charles Evans Whit
taker was asked if his parents
had a premonition as to his
future when they named him
for the famous Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes.
"No." said the quiet spoken
Justice from Kansas with a
smile. "It was just a happy
coincidence. I was named for
members of my family."
Chief Justice of the United
States and Mrs. Warren were
taking their place in the long
line a little after 6 out in the
street. They were being greeted
by several of the guests as the
early arrivals were leaving, in
cluding Mr. and Mrs. William
P. MacCracken, the latter look
ing very chic in a dark print.
Among others were Senator
and Mrs. Leverett Saltonstall,
Dean of the Diplomatic Corps
and Mme. Munthe de Morgen
stieme (she was one of the
pourers). and just behind them
was former Ambassador Joseph
Davies.

good manners was little Nancy
Brennan, elementary school
daughter of Justice and Mrs.
Brennan. Dressed in a pale
peach frock and a white spring

greeting the guests.
Assisting at the party was
Mrs. Conger Pratt, who was
chatting with Admiral and
Mrs. Thomas Kincaid, and
others there were Mrs. George
Humphrey, wife of the Secre
tary of the Treasury, who had
to take her turn at the tea
table before going down the
receiving line; Miss Bertha
Adkins; Col. Julia Hamblet,
director of the women Marines,
and Attorney General Brow
nell.
Others glimpsed were Justice
and Mrs. Harlan, Edgar Morris
and his fiance, Mrs. Delbert
Slater; Lady Munro, wife of
the New Zealand Ambassador;
the Leslie Biffles, Mrs. Ray
Henle, Senator and Mrs.
Joseph C. O'Mahoney, Justice

and Mrs. Homer Ferguson.
Coming and Going
Mrs. Robert Low Bacon was

sador and Mrs. Myron Cowen,
former Secretary of War and
Mrs. Kenneth Royal], getting a
big hello; former Justice and
Mrs. Stanley Reed, Miss Eliza
beth Fairall. Senator Know
land coming in alone, and the
same with former Speaker of
the House Joseph Martin.
Former Chief of Protocol
and Mrs. John Simmons, were
both in beige costumes, and
others were Gen. and Mrs. J
Lawton Collins, Swedish Am
bassador and Mme. Baheman
the former still with a cane-
Uinted States Attorney for the
District and Mrs. Oliver Oasch,
the latter looking very pretty in
navy blue; Cuban Ambassador
Camps, Mrs. Hale Boggs, and
Mr. and Mrs. I. Jack Martin.
Taking in the Burtons’ party
and then off to the Woodwards'
were Mr. and Mrs. Orme Wil
son. Mr. and Mrs. James
Houghtellng and Mr. and Mrs.
M. Robert Guggenheim.
May Day
Across town, into the George
town garden of Mr. and Mrs.
Woodward, came May party
goers.
The most spectacular flower
arrangement we have ever seen
was there. At the back of the
Karden stands a not-too-at
tractive telephone pole which
had been turned into a most
colorful May pole with flow
ers. greens and wide ribbons
completely covering it.
Mrs. J. Borden Harrlman
was at this party, as were Mr.
Hugh D. Auchlncloss chatting
with Mrs. Chauncey Parker.

AT WHITE HOUSE
Springtime Decor
Draws Admiration
There were "ohs” and “aha”
from members of the Society
of Sponsors of the United
States Navy as they entered
the White House yesterday to
have tea with Mrs. Eisen
hower.
The interior of the Exec
utive Mansion was a spring
scene so realistic that there
was even birdsong in the air
and large butterflies resting on
the silver chandelier in the
dining room.
There were flowers every
where. Lilacs entwined around
the pillars in the main lobby
were but a prelude to what the
tea guests saw as they pro
ceeded through the East Room
to the Blue Room where the
First Lady stood to greet them.
A ten-foot Maypole just out
side the East Room drew the
most admiring comments. The
Maypole was hung with gaily
colored streamers to which
were tied small May baskets.
There were more "ah's" from
the ladies as they entered the
dining room. Large baskets of

lilacs and roses were set on
the side tables. And on the
tea table, itself, were two
small Maypoles and bouqueta
of yellow stock and carnations.
Completing the garden effect
was the sound of birds singing,
which although recorded,
sounded like the real thing.
For the occasion, Mrs. Eisen
hower wore a pale blue Molly
Parnis satin shirtwaist dress
with full skirt. She held a
small spray of white orchids
in one hand as she shook
hands with members of the
society, of which she herself
is a member.
The society is composed of
women who have christened
ships of the United States
Navy. Mrs. Eisenhower ac
cepted an invitation to mem
bership three years ago after
christening the atomic-powered
submarine, USS Nautilus.
Among the guests was a new
member of the society, Mrs.
Arleigh Burke, wife of the
Chief of Naval Operations.
The tea was one of two at
which Mrs. Eisenhower re
ceived yesterday.
latter in the afternoon, the
First Lady received wives of
members of the White House
staff, wives of other Govern
ment officials, members of the
United Council of Church
Women and the wives of local
church ministers.
Among those attending the
latter tea was Mrs. Jullian G.
Ellisor, granddaughter of Pres
ident Benjamin Harrison.
Another presidential grand
daughter was a White House
visitor yesterday. During the
afternoon, Mrs. Eisenhower re
ceived Mme. Cantacuzene, the
former Julia Grant, grand
daughter of President Ulysses
S. Grant, for a short private
visit. Mme. Cantacuzene was
accompanied by Mhf Bertha
Adkins, assistant chair
man of the Republican Na
tional Committee in charge of
women’s affairs.
