VIII Mrs. Kennedy give any
more state dinners at Mount
Vernon?
Will she be encouraged to
do it again because of the
obvious enthusiasm and de-
light Of the guests at last
weeks party for President
Ayub- Of Pakistan? Or will
she be discouraged and dis
heartened by the flap that
has arisen over how much
the elegant affair cost-and
who paid for it?
Particularly. will she repeat
the performance for Prime
Minister Nehru Of India,
whose country is a bitter
rival Of Pakistan for the af-
fection and support of the
United States?
A Success
II don't see why Mrs. Ken
nedy wouldn't use Mount
Vernon again. The dinner was
a great success" says Deputy
Chief Of Protocol Clement E.
Conger.
But Mount Vernon almost
certainly will not be used for
the entertaining of Mr.. Nehru,
the protocol official pointed
out, because the Indian visi-
tor is not slated to arrive un-
til some time in November.
Since dinners at Mount
Vernon basically are lawn
parties, with guests exposed to
the elements even though
they have a tent roof over
their heads, the former Presi-
dents spacious estate will not
be available for such func-
tions except during a limited
period each year, Mr.. Conger
pointed out.
Technically, Prime Mini
ster Nehru wouldn't be en-
titled to a state dinner in
the first place. it should be
noted. He is not a chief Of
state, as is Pakistan's Presi-
dent Ayub.
According to past practice,
a visiting chief of state gets
a White House dinner, while

Vernon resembled q steam
ing jungle, with the turf
Spongy under foot, he said.
A tent with sides, such as
was erected for the Pakistani
party, would have kept the
guests dry. But they would
have felt they were in a
steam bath.
In short, any party held
at Mount Vernon on Thurs
day night would have been
a disaster.
"It seems to me Mrs. Ken
nedy's problem now is. how
to top herself" said one OBJ
server Of the Washington
scene.
Where could she go from
there?
No place, says Mr.. Conger.
Other Shrines
The only comparable his
toric shrines, Thomas JEFF
ferson's home Monticello, and
the restored city Of Williams
burg, Va, are both much too
far away, he pointed out.
It is very unusual to find
a place large enough for both
feeding and entertaining a
group as large as the 140
which attended last weeks
dinner at Mount Vernon, he
noted.
Even the White House
isn't big enough" he said.
If last weeks dinner had
been moved to the White
House because Of inclement
weather guests would have had
to be fed in the East Room,
because the state dining room
has a maximum capacity in
the area Of 100, Mr.. Conger
said. (Mrs. Kennedy used the
East Room for a luncheon
for newSpaperwomen, explain
ing at the time that it was the
only room in the White House
large enough to accommodate
the groupO
If last weeks dinner had
been moved to the White
House. the guests would have
had to be transported to the
State Department dining
room of the new State De-
partment building to hear
the National Symphony Or
cheStra play, Mr.. Ccnger said.
All details had been worked
out for it in the standby
plan, he added.

weeks functions for visiting

Khan.
At least, she thought the
hat had come from Pakistan.
But as she was driving to the
party, doubt set in. What
if it was made in India, and
the PakiStanis will know the
difference?" she thought.
