Memorial Day week end
will md most Of Washington
officialdom resting quietly at
home II they've made no
out-of-town plans.
For some Of the Supreme
Court justices and at least
two Cabinet officers. how
ever, IL viii be business as
usual.
With the Court moving to-
ward a tentative mid-June
recess, this is the busiest
time of the year for the
Justices. Opinion writing
must go on. whether a holi-
day intervenes or not.
The Chief Justice and Mrs.
Warren lead the roster Of
high court officials who plan
a quiet week end, either Of
rest at home or work at the
Office. They include Assoc
ciate Justices Hugo Black,
Felix Frankfurter, Tom c.
Clark, William j. Brennan,
Charles E. Whitaker, VIII
liam o. Douglas and their
families.
An exception is Associate
Justice John Marshall Har-
Ian. who with Mrs. Harlan will
spend the week end visiting
friends in the Virginia Hunt
country.
Going Visiting
The Harlans will spend the
holiday week end with Mr..
and Mrs. James E. Hendrick
on their estate near Upper
vile. After the court re-
cesses they plan to go to Aus
tralia where Justice Harlan
has accepted an invitation to
address the Australian Bar
Association. OF course, their
plans hinge on recess of the
court, but tentatively they call
for a Washington departure
around the first week in July
and an absence of five or six
weeks.
Justice and Mrs. Brennan
are expecting a holiday visit
from their son, Hugh L.
Brennan whose home is in
New Jersey.
The courts newest associate
justice, Potter Stewart, is still
undecided about his plans for
the holiday. since his family
is still In Cincinnati awaiting
the finish of the school year.
Since it's decision-writing
time here and school prom
and just-before-exams time
in Cincinnati it doesn't APP
pear likely the justice and his
wife and three children can
get together for such a short
week end. unless he decides to
fly out at the last minute.
Cabinet Plans
The week end will be pretty
evenly divided between work
and play for members of the
cabinet.
Secretary of State and
Mrs. Christian Herter are In
Geneva, Of course, where he
is participating in the for
eign ministers talks. Their
return is indefinite pending
conclusion of the conference.
Also out of the country is
Postmaster General Arthur
E. Summerfield, who, accom-
panied by Mrs. Summarized,
is attending the conference
Of the Universal Postal Union
in Bern, Switzerland. He
also plans to tour postal i'm
stallations throughout Eu-
rope, before their return to
Washington around the first
week in June.
In the meantime Saturday
will be a busy day for Acting
Postmaster General Edison o.
Sessions, who will give the
major speech at ceremonies
dedicating the last in the Sc
ries of Lincoln Sesquicenten-
NAL Commission stamps at
the Lincoln Memorial.
Also planning to attend
the afternoon dedication
ceremony is Secretary of the
Interior Fred A. Seaton.
Birthday Plans
1t will be a red-letter day
for the Seaton family as Sat-
urday is also their daughter
Christine's 10th birthday.
Mrs. Seaton laughingly re-
called the other day that
when they took Christine to
: Memorial Day parades when
she was a little girl she
thought the parade was III
honor of her birthday.
There won't be much time
for a party or cake on Sat-
urday or Sunday, however,
since Christine will be taking
an active part in a two-day
horse show at the Pegasus
School.
She will be the only one of
the four Seaton children at
home. The eldest, Donald,
graduated from Bulls Prep
yesterday and leaves tomor-
row for Hawaii where he's
going to work this summer.
He enters Lehigh in the fall.
Monica, IL, is at Villa Maria
in Lynchburg, and 11-year-
old Alfred is at Linton Hall,
; Oarltnn 3.
