POTOMAC FARMER DREW
PEARSON is making things
tough for friends and associ-
ates of President Kennedy,
especially those who belong
and enjoy the gracious club
living provided by the Metro
politan Club. Bobby Kennedy
started the ball rolling when
he resigned because of the ex-
elusive clubs policy banning
guest privileges for Negroes.
Mr.. Pearson named a number
of high officials and personal
friends of Kennedy but skipped
over the name of Newton
Steers, the Presidents brother
in-law. And although Mr..
Steers is a member of the.
Metropolitan, we doubt if the
resignation trend will affect
him. Although his son is a
playmate of little Carolyn,
Newly and his wife don't run
in and out of the White House.
In fact, Kennedy's brother-in-
law has plans to run for Con.
gress on the Republican ticket.
He hopes to get the nominal
ton for the new At-large seat.
WARD CADDINGTON'S ties.
timOnial dinner did not get the
coverage 1t deserved due to the
pure public relations policy of
the Donkey Club officials.
Those in charge have been in
politics long enough to know
how to get a story across to
the people. But it is surpris-
ing the number of OrganiZa-
tons in this county whose
members seem to have no idea
of how to let the public know
what the organizations are do
ing. OF course, there are some
groups that do not want pub
licity. Political groups do not
fit into this category.
EDWARD S. NORTHROP is
being sworn in as United
States District Judge for the
District of Maryland in the
Courtroom of the United
States Post Office Building in
Baltimore on October "a. Many
of his friends and associates
will be there to see him sworn
in. This will mark the end
of a successful political life
and the beginning of a new
and interesting life on the i'm
portant Federal Bench. The
people of Montgomery County,
Washington and all of Mary
land are proud of this young
man who has developed so well
in their midst. He'll be an ex-
cellent Judge.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE that
representatives of the Sentinel
weren't invited to share the
funny skits centered on this
county newspaper or the lam
pooning directed toward one
of its writers at the testimon-
ial dinner given for DR.. c. Tay-
lor Whittier. We understand
1t was cleverly done and in
good spirit. The assistant
principal of West Rockville
Junior High School portrayed
q veddy social club leader who
went to the School Board to
find out about the Is acres of
sod. Sne was told, In song we
believe, that 1t was very spec
iai grass - bent grass with
a spring = so the children
could bounce up and down on
It. you see," sang the actor,
I'VE couldn't buy trampolines
this year,"
LOUIS GORE, talented
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Grady Gore of Potomac, is
carving a new reputation for
herself. She, we understand,
Is the main one behind the
Jockey Club, located In Cores
Fairfax Hotel on Mass. ave.,
Washington. Word Is out that
this French restaurant - one
of the newest In town - Is
about the best In food, atmos-
phere and service. The Gore
family has a reputation for do
ing things right when they do
something. Not too many years
ago, Grady Gore decided to run
for the Republican nomination
for Governor. He put on q
campaign that was we'll
planned and well-executed. He
didn't win that one but he
could have gone on to another
campaign with better results
but he decided to retire from
politics.
