Thirteen Democrats of the
Congress attended the dinner
at the White House last night
In honor Of the Republican
the Democrats are most stirred
UP about, Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon. President and
Mrs. Eisenhower entertained
the Vice President and Mrs.
Nixon at the official white
tie affair given annually for
the man who is one heartbeat
removed from the presidency.
No bitter. outspoken critics
of Mr.. Nixon we're present.
The cf1airmen and ranking
minority members of every
Senate and House committee
were divided up between last
evenings dinner for the Vice
President and tonight's for
the Speaker. and undoubtedly
political feelings we're taken
into account as to how they
were divided. The Republi-
cans, Is in all, outnumbered
the Democrats last evening,
and presumably the reverse
will be true tonight.
The White House would not
say until 4 o'clock this after
noon whether or not Senator
Mccarthy would be present
at tonight's soiree. Senator
Mcclellan, the chairman of
the Committee on Govern
ment Operations of which he
. is ranking Republican MEM
Der, will attend the dinner for
the Speaker.
Vice President and Mrs.
Nixon arrived at the White
House at 7:45 and were i'm
n1ediately ushered upstairs to
spend a quarter hour with
their hosts. Mrs. Eisenhower
received them in a strapless
white lace gown with a volu-
minous skirt. Blond Pat Nixon
wore a beautiful black net
gown embroidered with pink
metallic thread. Fashioned
with the new low waistline, it
had straps over the shoulders,
a full skirt and softly pleated
bodice.
Size 10 Gown
Nowadays women ask of
each other, Whose gown is
it?" meaning not, did you
borrow the dress from your
sister or your friend?", but
Are you sporting a Dior,
Desses or Carnegie?" But Pat
Nixon's reply to the invariable
question was II just went to
a store and bought a size 10
and walked out"
The black net gown may be
twirling under a southern
moon next month. The white
evening dress she wore to the
White House reception last
week will he packed for the
Caribbean "trip and so will a
white and pink rose print she
has just acquired for after
noon receptions in the sun
swept regions.
The Nixons will leave here
February s and expect to be
gone four weeks. Unless their
itinerary is changed, they will
stop at three of the hotter
spots in Central America
Costa Rica, Nicaragua and
Panama-besides Cuba, Ell
Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti,
Mexico, Honduras. Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands and
the Dominican Republic. OBJ
