with silver candelabra down the long
buffet table in the state dining
room, where light refreshments
were served. Gracing the table were
silver compotes holding candles and
nuts and fruit punch was served
along with tiny cakes. In the long
red corridor the large tubs blossomed
with pink chrysanthemus and ferns
and up the stairs were similar
flowers.
After the Chief Justice and Mrs.

the associate justices OF the court.
Mrs. Harlan Fiske Stone walked
with her husband in the line and
after reaching the state dining room
she and the associate justice were
constantly surrounded by many
friends.
Mr.. Justice and Mrs. Owen J.
Roberts were present. Mrs. Roberts
wearing a gown Of white and silver
lame, simply made and without

Robert H. Jackson followed Secre-
tary and Mrs Stimson, Mrs. jack
son wearing a green MORE taffeta

and full skirt.
Secretary and Mrs. Ickes
Only Absentees Of Cabinet.
Mrs. Frank c. Walker, who has
made few appearances in Washing
ton since her husband became the
Postmaster General, was present
last night. She wore a becoming
gown of gold lame, made on severely
plain lines. Mr.. and Mrs. Walker
were accompanied by the latter's
mother, Mrs. Frank Boucher, who
wore a gown of blue net and sequins.
Mrs. Frank Knox, wife of the Sec
retary of the Navy, who, like Mrs.
Walker, has spent little time in
Washington, also was in line. She
wore lovely gown of deep American
beauty rose-color velvet made with
long sleeves and a full skirt. The
sleeves had wide bands of mink at
the elbow line and similar fur was
used about the neckline, giving the
appearance of frame.
Mrs. Claude R. Wickard, wife Of
the Secretary of Agriculture, accom-
panied her husband, wearing strik-
ing gold and silver lame combined
with turquoise blue. Mrs Jesse
Jones, wife of the Secretary Of Com
merce, wore a beautiful gown Of

White orchids completed her strik-

Secretary of Labor Perkins, who
was escorted by a White House aide,
wore an unusually effective gown OF
black crepe appliqued in silver de-
sign which was picked out in SPAR
king brilliants.
The only absentees from the
cabinet group last night were the
Secretary of the Interior and Mrs.
Harold L. Ickes, who are out Of the
city.
Floral Displays
Attract Attention.
Much interest always centers
around the floral display at official
parties at the Presidents house.
Last night there was no exception
to the rule, with the guests delight
ing in the profusion of blossoms
grown in the mansions hothouses
which were arranged so artistically
about the formal parlors. In the
east room the mantles and end ia
bles were banked with ferns and
palms, roses, carnations and stevia
Before the great windows were
screens of palms and ferns and the
two handsome blue vases in this
room held large white chrysanthe-

trumpetS. and the familiar Hail to
the Chief" was played by the scarlet
coated Marine Band Orchestra as
the presidential party entered the
formal reception parlors. Preceded
by the White House aides, resplend-
ent in their gold-braided uniforms,
the President walked with his naval
aide, Capt. Daniel w. Callaghan.
Mrs. Roosevelt walked just back of
her husband, accompanied by his
military aide and secretary, Brig.
Gen. Edwin M. Watson.
New Members of Cabinet
And Wives Attend.
Adding interest to the stately pres
idential march was the presence of
the new members of the cabinet and
their wives who were attending their
first state function since taking their
places in the official set. Earlier the
hosts received the cabinet group in
the small dining room. where previ-
ously they had entertained at
dinner.
Mrs. Roosevelt selected a gorgeous
gown of sapphire blue velvet. The
gown was nodded to her figure and
a panel of exquisite lace formed a
fischu about her shoulders and
rippled gracefully over the fan
shaped train in the back. She wore
a double strand of beautifully
matched pearls and carried small
evening bag to correspond with her
gown.
Secretary and Mrs. Hull
Hold Court of Own.
The Secretary of State and Mrs.
Cordell Hull followed Mrs. Roose-
welt in the procession across the
red corridor, and for some time
after the reception got under way
they held an impromptu court of
their own Mrs. Hull looked un-
usually handsome in gown of white
chiffon made with a full skirt and
low hipline bodices embroidered in
seed pearls. With her gown the
popular cabinet hostess wore white
wool jacket studded in rhinestones.
Mrs. Morgenthau, wife Of the
Secretary of the Treasury, who
walked with her husband in the
line, chose for the occasion gown
OF deep red taffeta, made on simple
lines with a square neckline.
The Secretary of War and Mrs.
Henry L. Stimson were the only
newcomers in the present cabinet
who we're not making their debut
as members of a presidential party
at the White House. When Mr.
Stimson was Secretary of State in
the Hoover administration and pre-
vious to that as Secretary Of War
in the Taft regime, the popular
couple rarely missed state recep-
ton. Last night Mrs. Stimson was
a striking figure in formal evening
gown Of silver and gold lame. The
dress was modelled to her figure ano
with it she wore her exquisite dia-
mond ornaments.

SOVIET NEGOTIATIONS FOR
HELP
OBy Associated Pressl

LONDON, June 15.-Allied
hopes for a gesture from Russia
that might mean a check on Ger
many'S push for world power in
Europe received some stimulus
today in the reported movement
of Russian troops into Lithu-
ania.
The invasion, however, is de-
Scribed as strictly a private mat
ter between the SovietS and
LithuanianS, over disputes of
concession management.
Nevertheless, observers point
out that Germany is bordered
entirely now by the Russian ma
ton from tbs Balkans to the
Baltic Sea, and it is thought that
Allied efforts to receive moral
support in opposition to Ger
many may come with continued
negotiations.

the country's Atlantic naval
bases are so lacking in guns,
mines, submarines, aircraft, or
ganization and men, that it is a
question whether they could be
closed to hostile fleet inside six
months, General Hagood makes
the following suggestions on how
the nations harbor defenses
should be organized:
l. A competent officer should
be assigned to the command of
the fortified area 1t makes no
difference whether he be an of
ficer of the Army or of the Navy.
He should be assigned by the
President and have ex-officio
rank sufficient to insure his not
having TO give upsthe command
TO someone else who might hap
pen along This would eliminate
the present conflict of command
between Army and Navy.
2. Within the fortified area of
the land and the sea the COM
mander of the fortress should
have under his control the fixed
permanent Notifications, the in
ner mines, and the aircraft, sub
marines and small torpedo boats
assigned TO the defense; also the
mobile troops whose purpose is
to protect the rear of the forts
from enemy raiding parties.
g. Between the fortified areas
the coast should be protected by
mobile troops to repel invaders
