Now, from the time my

Mrs. Ribicoff, Mrs. Free
man and Mrs. Hodges, all
of whose husbands were State
Governors Immediately before
they entered the Kennedy
Cabinet, all commented, too,
on the wonderful sense of
privacy" they feel in Wash
ington, compared to their
life as First Lady Of a State.
IN the State you have a
great sense of responsibility"
explained Mrs. Freeman.
There's only you and your
husband, and perhaps the
Lieutenant Governor and his
wife, to open all the charities,
cut all the ribbons, do a great
many thing.
Days Separated
The move to Washington
also has left Postmaster Cen

without two of their three
children until school Is out.
Geraldine (Jerry), IT, is liv-

Los Angeles while she fin
ishes out her senior year of

The Dillon family probably
has had to make fewer
changes than any other Cab
met family. Formerly Under
secretary Of State in the Els
enhower administration, and
thoroughly established in a
handsome house on Belmont
road, he is not finding his
life too different, except that
a Cabinet officer gets more
invitations.
The Hodges Lives
The Hodges, with three
married children and seven
grandchildren, none living in
this vicinity, also are finding
their lives not too drastical-
ly changed.

he could work harder than
he did as Governor of North
Carolina-but he is" says
Mrs. Hodges.
She spoke late last week
as she waited for him to re-
turn from a To-day trip to
Europe, just in time for them
both to depart for Hot
Springs. Va, to attend a
meeting Of the Commerce De-
partment Business Advisory
Council.
The Hodges have rented a
furnished apartment, to make
it easier for Mrs. Hodges to
carry out her main objective,
which is ito make life Just

Secretary of Labor and Mrs.
Goldberg also escaped hous-

for several years in their own

Mrs. Goldberg has spent

The Ribicoffs, who rented
a furnished house in George

ing harder and keeping longer
hours than they did before,
though all were hard workers
before, the wives unanimously
report. All work Saturday.
Top Families
The nations two top fam
lilies won't see their children
at all today.
President and Mrs. Ken
nedy are resting briefly in
Palm Beach, preparatory to
taking off on two foreign
visits, to Canada on Tuesday
and to Paris later this month.
Three-year -old Caroline and
Baby John, 51a months,
stayed behind In the White
House.
Vice President and Mrs.
Lyndon johnson are winging
their way across the Far
East on a crash program of
goodwill which this govern
ment seems to regard as of
first-rate Importance. Their
teen-aged daughters, Lynda
and Lucy, are here in WASH

lilies do struggle to reserve at
least Sunday as family day."
and turn down outside in
vitations. Even when this
succeeds, Sunday is likely to
be a frantic day of catching
up on a long week of separa-
ton.
The two biggest Cabinet
families, Attorney General
and Mrs. Robert Kennedy
with seven children aged 9
to l, and Interior Secretary
and Mrs. Stewart Udall with
six children aged IL to 2, have
become SO disturbed by this
they recently have adopted
new systems.
Interestingly, although the
two families acted independ-
emily, they came up with the
same solution.
Eating and Working
Finally accepting the fact
that the men weren't going
to be able to finish their work
and get home before the chill
dren were in bed, each family
now has established a 6 pm.
dinner hour three evenings a
week. The men come home
to eat, chat and play with
the children for a while, then
60 back to work.
Both wives admit to hav-
ing a little trouble holding
their husbands to the ar
rangement, as the days prob
lens pile up at the office.
Before she adopted this
latest plan Mrs. Kennedy
made sure her children saw
their father at least one even
ing a week by taking all seven
of them down to have dinner
Evening star., 1961-05-14

III MS Office. Inere Is a dig
octagonal table in the At
torney Generals suite which
serves admirably as a dining
table, says Ethel Kennedy.
At that, both the KennedyS
and UdallS escaped one prob
lem which has complicated
matters for most of the cab
met, the matter of housing.
The Udalls have remained
in the modern rambling
ranch house they own in
Mclean, overlooking the Po-
tomac.
The Kennedys have kept
their historic house, Hickory
Hill, also in Mclean. It's
really a country estate, and a
children's paradise complete
with horses, ponies, a donkey
dogs, ducks, geese, rabbits, a
swimming pool, a tree house
and other delights of child
hood.
Today the Kennedy's hope
to celebrate the day by TAX
ing a boat ride down the
Potomac. If that doesn't work
out, they probably will eat
out in the back yard, with
the Attorney General grilling
a steak.
The Udalls probably will
go hiking around Great Falls,
baby and all, as they often
do on Sundays.
Secretary of State Dean
Rusk has been spinning at
such a rate since January
that his youngest child,
Peggy, II, is living with rel
atives in Alexandria so that
she can have a quiet, stable
home situation" says Mrs.
Rusk.
Rusks' Sons Away
The other two children also
are away from home. Rich
ard, IA, is living with friends
in Scarsdale, N. Y, finishing
out his school year. David,
20, attends the University of
California.
Mrs. Rusk, who has been
committing between Wash
ington and their home in
Scarsdale since January, try
ing to sell the latter, finally
completed the sale and moved

have purchased in Northwest
Washington.
But as soon as the moving
van drove away, II locked
the door and devoted the
week to entertaining PreSi-
dent Bourguiba (of Tunisia) :"
she said.
Mrs. Rusk will spend some
time with Peggy today, catch
ing up with the little girls
week.
Characteristic Of the pace
Of their lives is the fact that
Mrs. Rusk still did not know
yesterday whether the Sec
retary would be back from the
Laos conferences in Geneva
in time to join them today.
1t seemed unlikely.
There are no children at

to his first state visitor
Tunisian president Bourgui-
ba-made such a hit with
the Presidents son, Ambas-
sador Bourguiba, that heaven
knows when 1t will reach
Tunisia!
The president went over
to Blair House a week ago
Friday to present to his
distinguished guest a Strom-
berg Carlson stereo1radio-
phonograph complete with
two speakers, all in one unit.
1t was contained in a black
lacquer Chinese chest about
8 feet high and 312 feet wide.
Originally made for the
United States current of 10
volts, it had been perman-
emily converted by the COM
pany to 220 volts so it could
be played in the presidents
residence in Tunisia. But Mr..
Kennedy, like any enthusi-
astic gift-giver, was eager to
demonstrate it for Mr.. Bour-
guiba as soon as he had
given it to him. So quickly
the Army Signal Corps
scrambled around like mad
to produce a temporary con-
verter and about 4:30 that
afternoon when the preSen-
tation was made Mr.. Ken
nedy enjoyed the obvious
pleasure registered on the
faces of the Bourguiba
family when they heard it
for the first time.
Habib Bourguiba, jr., was
so charmed with it he asked
his father if he could keep
it here at the Embassy for
a while and Habib, senior,
acquiesced. So now the
phonograph company, de-
lighted with the hit it made,
will go through the COM
plicated process Of changing
the machine back again per-
manently to ITO volts for
use here until such time as
it will be shipped to Tu-
nisia when it will be con-
verted back again to 220
volts.
AND THEY SAY THAT
WE WOMEN cannot make
up our minds! Mr.. Kennedy
may have chosen his first
state gift himself. He has
the last word in stereo sound
wired throughout his private
quarters in the White House
and loves it. But generally
a gift for a state visitor is
the result of recommended
tions from the American
Ambassador in the country
concerned, the desk officers
at the State Department who
deal with the country, and
the Protocol Division. Find
ing the right thing is a
problem because it must be
American made. American
designed, not too costly, and
appropriate.
Gifts have ranged from
the telescope given to the
King of Morocco, who was
interested in astronomy, to
a Steuben glass piece de-
picting the Sleeping Beau
ty Ballet for the King of
Denmark, who had President
Eisenhower as his guest at
the Danish ballet perform
ance here Gen. de
Gaulle received a silver Tif-
fany bowl and two candle
sticks plus two live antelopes
for the Paris zoo; the Presi-
dent of Wet Nam received
a tape recorder, the Presi-
dent of Mexico a Ford Fall
con, and the Presidents of
Chile and Brazil received
from President Truman gold
medals struck especially to
comm e crate the visit,
with silver and bronze ones
going to other members of
their parties.
President Eisenhower took
four Vermeill (silver-gilt)
tulips to Generalissimo and
Nine. Chang Kai-shek when
he went to the Orient. And
a motor-powered boat was
sent ahead to Russia for him
to present to Khrushchev
during his visit there. Only
the boat got there and Mr..
Eisenhower didn't when Mr..
K. unlimited him after the
U-2 incident. BY dint of
much negotiating, America
finally got the boat back.

Use Leftover Ham
In Cabbage SIuw

Leftovers may be a boon
instead Of a problem to a re-
sourceful cook. Instead Of in
dicating waste, leftover meat
actually spells economy and
the thrifty homemaker will
frequently purchase a meat
cut with the idea of serving it
for more than one meal.
Ham is especially well
adapted for use in this way.
There are so many ways to
serve it. Sliced cold ham for
sandwiches, creamed ham on
toast or in pastry shells. or
combined with vegetables
are a few ideas.
Another suggestion, eSpe-
ciallly appealing on a warm
summer day, is to combine
diced, cooked ham with cab
bage and other vegetables to
make a crisp, appetizing ham
slaw. On a busy day. it might
be prepared ahead of time
and placed in the refrigerator
