Society News:
BY Betty Beole


Two important debuts took
place in the White House last
night. The Chief Justice of the
United States, Former Gov.
Earl Warren, made his first ap-
pearance at a White House judi
ciary reception, and the Central
Intelligence Agency came out of
hiding partially.
Although the President and
Mrs. Eisenhower'S second official
white tie soiree of the season
was referred to in traditional
manner as "the judicial recep-
tion," it also drew, besides judges
and justice officials, top figures
from such powerhouse groups as
the CIA, the Federal Reserve
Board, the Atomic Energy Com
mission, the White House staff,
the Federal Communications
Commission, the Federal Trade
Commission, the Federal Pow
er Commission and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
But all the above, with the
exception of the CIA, are listed
fully and clearly in the Con-
greSsional Directory. For the
Central Intelligence Agency only
the name of the director and
deputy director are listed. Hence
one might assume that the rest
are not meant to be known.
II don't suppose all the CIA
could show up here?" asked one
wide-eyed guest of tall, distin-
guished looking Director Allen
w. Dulles. Amused at the lay
mans cloak and dagger approach
to his agency, Mr.. Dulles chuck
led. mo, the covert aren't here,

Chief Justice Greeted
The big, smiling figure of the
new chief justice was surrounded
from the moment he stepped into
the state dining room, having
been the first to go through the
line. For that brief second there
were only the three cabinet cou-
Piles who had followed the Pres
ident and First Lady down the
stairs and into the Blue Room
Secretary of Defense and Mrs.
Wilson, Attorney General and
Mrs. BroWnell and Postmaster
General and Mrs. Summerf1eld.
But instantly the room filled and
every one wanted to meet the ap-
proachable Californian who has
become the Nations top judge.
The Chief Justice said that
Mrs. Warren will join him here
on Sunday but that they will
both go home to spend Christ
mas with their daughters. They
will be back here on January 2
which means that he will miss
the Rose Bowl game, observed
Justice Warren. A football fan,
he was really disappointed to hear
that he missed special Stan
ford-California party at the Stat
Ter a week ago last Saturday
when the returns of the game
were piped in.
THAT was the first Stanford
Cal game l have missed since
I was freshman in 190S," he
said.
