EXCLUSIVELY
YOURS
Highlights OF Gay Week End,
Democratic and Republican
By BETTY BEALE

If you want to know what
a mugwump feels like, get into
sthis business. After being sub
merged in Democrats from
Saturday afternoon until 2 the
next morning, / was sur
rounded by nothing but Re-
publicans yesterday. There's
something to be said for this
type of social gadding. It's 100
per cent harmonious in either
case.
Only the back of a pew
separated headliners of both
parties yesterday morning.
Former President Harry S.
Truman sat Immediately in
front of Assistant President"
Sherman Adams at the II
o'clock service at ST.. Johns
Church on Lafayette Square.
The ex-Chief Executive was
in good form at the $10O-a-
plate dinner Saturday night.
In the third-floor room at the
Armory where the head table
gathered, he chatted about
his memoirs. I'll have to
leave the country when they're
published" he said with a grin,
so many people are going to
get mad" Mrs. Truman said
Margaret had to call off some
of her concerts because of an
attack of ptomaine poisoning.
Sounds like Republicans are
UP to their old tricks" quipped
q bystander. Bess chuckled.
Suntanned Adlai Stevenson
said he was going to Africa to-
day. strictly on business that
he hopes will be lucrative, and
not to organize the Mau Maus
or any such dire plot as some
suspect. He and Senator Lyn-
don johnson snapped subrosa
comments and laughs. COM
pared notes on their gladstone
operations.
None of the above nor any
member of the Democratic
National Committee nor prob
ably Governor Averell Harri-
man himself, said Paul Butler
later, knew about the Amer
lea for Hartman" cards dis
tributed on all the tables at
the dinner. Committee mem
bers confronted with the cards
were surprised and not pleased
to find that the words "Harri-
man for President! Get on

CIRCLING THE COUNTRYSIDE
Gay Hunt Ball Follows
The Middleburg Races

strolls to the paddock where,
at one point before the Panther
Skin Race, both secretaries
we're holding court, greeted by
Mrs. Christopher Greer. whose
Rayquick ran a good third in
the Middleburg Cup. The
Cushings, Mrs. George Green
halgh, jr.. and other people
who, like the cabinet officers.
were down there to see the
entries first hand.
The State Department set
was represented, among others.
by Mrs. William Clark, the
Fisher Howes, the James
Boardmans and by Jane Nc
Ilvaine. who. generously.
loaned" daughter Mia to a
large, childless picnic group
when the TV camera came
looking around. The Neil
Phillipses. Alex Hagners and
Marshall Exnicios, in a blue
plaid suit that stunned the
natives. were among the
Washington group who watched
Elizabeth Bosley's -Marchized
win the Middleburg Cup.
The Secretary's Hat
Secretary Humphrey dotted
a hat that was the envy of
every gentleman in the crowd
as he presented the enormous
silver tray to Betty after the
big race. The hat, a modified
Tyrolean job, had a band Of
tiny irridescent red feathers.
Betty, a guest of the Dulany
Randolphs of Upperville for
the race week end, was the
envy of the ladies in the
crowd, most of whom were
done up in tweed suits. Betty,
in cool, pale beige linen, shook
hands over and over and over
again with Secretary Hum
phrey as the cameras snapped
and the crowd applauded.
The ball after the races went
on from II until 4. after many
dinner parties at surrounding
estates. Devron played, end
lessly, f1anked by luncheon
flowers from the Paul Melons
greenhouse. Sally Randolph
arrived in time to sing, In her
inimitable way, after a trip
to My Ladies Manor races up
in Maryland. The bar on the
terrace was as popular as it
was at noon. although slightly
colder, and the crowd was
appreciatiye of the four. new,
huge paintings hung in the
foyer of the center. A gift of
the Melons, the paintings. by
Evelyn Hewes, depict bits and
pieces Of landscape, all unre-
lated, around Fauquier and
Loudoun County.

the presence of the titular
head of the party, Mr.. Stew

Anna Rosenberg, the Thomas
Finletters, Ed Pauley. etc.
Neither Perle Mesta, who was
on the dinner committee, nor
Gwen CafritZ, who attended
last years Jefferson Jackson
Day dinner, was present.
Immediately after the din
ner it looked as If the whole
5000 and some guests had
poured into the Mayf1ower Ho-
tel lobby. Adlai and Paul But
Ter looked in on the big Penn
sylvania party for Gov. George
Leader in the Williamsburg
Room. Representative Bill
