- OCIAL functions in the Nations
Capital-how delightful they
can be-! All thought Of differ
- ences Of opinion can so easily
be set aside, and this was emphat-
ically stressed at the White House
last night as the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt entertained in honor of the
judiciary.
Seven Of the nine members of the
United States Supreme Court, which
has in this administration been
brought so prominently into the lime
light, were present. There we're
smiles exchanged and warm hand
clasps as the hosts received these
members Of the highest tribunal in
the United States The Supreme
Court justices do not take an active
part in the social life in the Capital,
and the presence Of so many of the
members of this august body at the
affair last night was indeed note
worthy.
There was such a friendly atmos-
phere prevailing as the long line
passed the hosts.
This. however, is quite in keeping
with every function given by the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt. They
are charming hosts, and regardless of
party afiliation or viewpoints, when
one leaves a White House function in
this regime it is with a thought of
regret that the party is over.
Due to the epidemic of colds, there
were many who were forced TO forego
attending the reception last night,
hence the gathering was smaller than
the first state reception to the diplo-
matte corps. Regardless of this. there
seemed to quite bit of crowding in

with the crystal chandeliers blazing

picture was one which will be long re-
membered. In the historic east room
great palms were placed by the win
dows, and the marble mantles were
banked with potted baby primroses,
which were festooned with salmon
pink carnations. On the end tables
were vases of Ophelia roses and ferns,
and two huge vases held graceful
sprays Of pussy willow. In the green
room there were deep pink carnations
at the windows. while a vase of carna-
tions in a lighter shade graced the
mantle, Before the windows in the
blue room were white carnations and
snapdragons against a background of
ferns and palms, and the hosts stood
before screen of palms and ferns to
receive their guests. In the red room
there were red carnations, and on the
long buffet table, from which light
refreshments were served. there we're

LEWIS DRAWS
FIRE OF TWO
CHIEFS
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
international News Service

Veteran American Federation
of Labor union leaders today met
the challenge Of John l.. Lewis
and his rapidly strengthening in
dustrial ranks with q campaign
of words.
While President Green, Of the
A. F. of L. is in Chicago, de-
nounced the Lewis Committee for
Industrial Organization as IAN
archy," his vice president, John
P. Frey charged the c. /. o. was a
paper organization"
Green told his audience John l..
Lewis has split labor'S ranks wide
open. Frey, over the telephone
from Cleveland, said the c. I. o.
had no substance and could not
endure.
CT. o. Launches Drives
AS the two A. F. of L. leaders
attacked him verbally Lewis, claim
ing already 100000 members Of
his C. I. O., launched two cam
paigns seeking new C.. I. o. mem
bers in the 100000 worker-strong
textile industry, and another mil
lion in the oil industry.
Brushing away A. g. Of L criti-
cism as "unimportant," the burly
c. 1. o. leader boldly moved to
set up an organization structurally
identical with and rivalling the
50-year-old federation.
The announcement of Lewis that
his C. I. o. had voted itself power
to issue certificates of affiliation
to international, national, State
and city bodies, brought the Frey
outburst
Calls It Paper Setup
Green's attack was made in a
speech scheduled before the C. I.
o. announced it would set itself up
as a national organization. Dis
cussing the new c. I. o. setup,
Frey said:
The American Federation of
Labor, you must remember, is
composed Of people who had to
pay initiation fees to affiliate,
and who have to pay dues.
"I'm not much disturbed over
a paper organization. 1t may
be blown up somewhat, but the
substance just isn't there"
Both Green and Frey looked
anxiously to the steel industry, in
which Lewis has just won recog-
milton from the executives for his
C. I. o., to provide the old guard
with new members. Despite A. F.
of L. failure to organize steel for
half a century, and the fact that
Lewis won recognition in IL
months, Green feels that there is
a field for the A. F. of L. in the
steel industry. He announced sew
eral days ago that his organizers
would concentrate on that field.
Other A. F. of L. organizing
campaigns got under way today
in the cereal and cement indus
tries. Green spent two days con-
ferring with so of the Federation's |
veteran organizers, and at the |
conclusion of the conference, sent |
these men out with orders to
strengthen the craft union lines |
everywhere.
