Evan HoweTs Party Draws Officials;
Lady Ross of Bo|nogoW1 Is Feted

Parties for legislators are still
dominating the Capital social
scene. One might go further
and say that parties for Senator
and Mrs. Everett Dirksen and Rep
resentative Marguerite S. Church
are still holding the number one
spot on Sunday.
They were feted again yester-
day at a big reception given by
their old friends from Illinois,
Judge of the United States Court
of Claims and Mrs. Evan Howell.
Judge Howell, who served in Con-
gress for four terms as Repub-
lican Representative from the
State of Illinois, said that yester-
days over 300 guests came from
both sides of the aisle in Congress.
There were lots of their friends
there, too, from judicial circles.
The receiving hours of 5 to 8
were none too long to accommo-
date the constant stream of guests
that poured through their resi-
dence on Fourty-fourth street 1t
looked as though all of Congress
had come to sip an aperitif in
honor of their colleagues. Actually
only four or five Senators were
invited to the gathering that
placed heavy emphasis on the
lower house and the courts.
Chief Justice Vinson was there,
making one of his more rare ap-
pearances since his wife went into
mourning for her mother. Justice
and Mrs. Tom Clark dropped by
and, of course, Chief Judge Mar
vim Jones of the United States
Court of Claims was there along
with Judge and Mrs. Samuel w.
Whitaker and Judge Benjamin H.
Littleton.
Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws of
the United States District Court
and Mrs. Laws greeted many
friends as did Circuit Judge David
L. Bazelon of the United States
Court of Appeals whose wife has
known the hostess since they grew
up together in Springfield, H.,
where they lived on the same
street.
Senators Owen Brewster, Styles
Bridges and Karl Mundt and their
wives were among those who
headed toward the HoWells in the
late afternoon and on the list
of Representatives invited were
Speaker Sam Rayburn. Minority
Leader Joe Martin, and Carl Hin
shaws, the Leslie Arends, the Karl
Stefans, the John Tabers, the Sid
Simpsons, the Hale Boggses. the
Dewey Shorts, Frank Fellows. the
Oren Harrises, the Charles Hal
lecks, the Carroll Recess, the Low
ell Stockmans, and scores more.
Others on the list included
Undersecretary of the Navy Dan
Kimball, Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Bell,
