This time last year you could

Don't look now but your
Nations Capital. the greatest
party town in America. is slow
ing down TO a trot socially.
There's been such a dearth
Of big parties in Washington
this winter that Capital cater
ers are wearing the longest
faces in town.
The Inauguration saved the
month Of January but since
then the largesse spread by
large parties has steadily
dwindled.
In general, say the leading
society caterers. business is
of 10 to Is per cent from what
1t was last year. And although
Lent doesn't ordinarily make a
dent in the must and plush
parties of officialdom. business
during the past month has
been off 20 to Is per cent.
What's happening to us any
how? Are we suddenly taking
a dim view of diplomacy over
a cheese dip? Are we tired Of
eating caviar canapes crushed
in a crowd?
None of these reactionary
reactions has caused a depres-
sion in the fun and chum de-
partment. say the caterers. It's
something much more basic
It's tight money and lack Of
incentive.
Tired Of Prosperity
"I'm tired Of Republican
prosperity; give me back Dem
ocratic poverty" quipped one.
Washington parties are cost
ing 10 to is per cent more this
year than they did last, say
the men in the business. Last
year you could hire a cater
er's expert waiter to buttle at
your cocktail or dinner party
for $40 for four hours. Now
he costs Sll and in a few
months he's almost certain to
go UP TO $l2.
Everything else has gone UP
too. Caterers find they must
charge 10 to Is cents more per
bottle for top-quality liquor.
40 per cent more for some
pastries. rs per cent more on
the rental Of china. 10 per cent
more on cartons and jiffy bags.
One Of the most popular Of
all cocktail party foods has
definitely scared in cost. Fresh

President Hints Change
In Form Of Rights Bill

Continued from First Page
referred again to the jury trial
amendment as wrecking the
entire judicial process.
The President emphasized
again that he does not regard
the Senate version as the final
form in which the bill may
reach him.
No Bill Before Him Yet
Mr.. Eisenhower was asked If
he could agree with a state
ment by Adlai Stevenson, who
said he doubted the wisdom of
the jury trial amendment but
would rather have this bill
than none at all.
The President replied that
there is no civil rights bill be-
fore him yet and he would talk
to the reporter about that after
the bill reaches him.
Another newsman tried to get
the President to answer those
who feel the Senate jury trial
amendment is workable.
The President went back
again to his August 2 state
ment, but added a new state
ment that there are implica-
tons in title 4 (the voting
rights Section) as now written
that would be most damaging
to the entire Federal Judiciary.
This led some observers to
believe the administration
would consider a compromise
that would narrow the right of
jury trial to voting rights cases
instead of applying it to all
laws.
House Republican Leader
Martin of Massachusetts, has
proposed that final action be
put OF until January, on the
theory that it will take House
and Senate conferees at least
two months to settle their diff
ferences.
Others See Compromise
But some other House Re-
publicanS who stood with the
administration against the Jury
trial amendment believe they
could accept now a comprGmise,
limiting such trials to voting
right cases.
AS approved by the Senate
last week, the amendment
would allow jury trials in
criminal contempt cases arising
under any Federal law.
Acting Attorney General
William Rogers was quoted by
Senator Saltonstall, Republican
Of Massachusetts, yesterday as
having said the Senate amend
ment not only would disrupt
enforcement of orders of regu-
latory agencies, but would ap-
ply to actions of the Supreme
Court and the Circuit Court of
Appeals.
Senator OMahoney, Demo-
crat Of Wyoming, co-author of
the amendment, said any such
Interpretation of it was mon

Senator Saltonstall quoted
Mr.. Rogers as having opposed
any jury trial provision in the
bill during a leadership confer
ence at the White House yes
terday morning.
Democratic leaders are be-
ieved to be anxious to have
the House accept the Senate
changes without running the
risk of tying the bill up in con-
ference until next year. But,
unless House Republican ranks
break. it will be difficult to
avoid sending the measure to a
conference committee.
There are indications that a
