THE HERBERT MAYS
gave a huge luncheon yester-
day for all the friends who
presented Hillwood's Friend
ship Walk to the former
Marjorie Post. Hillwood is
Mrs. Mays 24-acre estate off
Tilden street that is currently
a burst of multi-hued petaled
glory, filigree foliage and
manicured green grass.
After five years of exquis-
ite care. study and cultiva-
ton. this showpiace is more
beautiful than ever before.
The luncheon guests were in
deed lucky to have viewed it
on such a day and at its peak
Towering period, because this
year, for the first time, Mar
jorie will not have her annual
two garden parties.
No words can really de-
scribe these gardens. There is
the thick green velvet" lawn
that spreads with sweeping
grandeur from the majestic
rear of the red brick mansion
carrying the eye with studied
calm out to the distant sud-
den gaiety of pink and white
tulips, and rose, red, white
and lavender aZaleaS.
There are numerous tree
shaded walks dappled with
pink dogwood and cherry
blossoms Springing from an
infinite variety of bushes in
terspersed with wild flowers.
There is the Japanese rock
garden tumbling like its
waterfall down the hillside
to the unrippled stiffness of
its goldfish ponds, it's stone
paths and its arched wooden
bridges across waters, the
whole garden more intriguing
than ever before in its deeper
growth.
GUESTS DRANK IN THE
BEAUTY both before and
after lunch, nor was lunch
devoid of such eye appeal.
AS is her custom, Mrs. May
decorated each table in a
different color.
The green table had a
centerpiece Of green orchids
and bells of Ireland, was set
with green crystal gobletS
and wine glasses on a hand
some lace tablecloth, and
was surrounded with little
chairs upholstered with green
printed brocade. At the yel-
low table were yellow tulips
and carnations, yellow crystal
and yellow printed brocade
on the chair cushions, and so
on through seven or more
tables.
During lunch Mrs. May
rose to express her gratitude
for the gift that was being
celebrated. "Of all the sweet
and wonderful things that
have ever been done for any,
one,' she said, that was it.
She also recalled that the
idea was started by the

Elias Giacoumelos, retiring
doorman at the Greek EN-
baSSy, received his first
civilian decoration Saturday
morning-the Silver Cross of
the Royal Order of the
Phoenix.
1t was presented to him at
a ceremony in the embassy
by Ambassador Liatis, in the
presence of his fellow staff
members and a few close
friends.
Once a sergeant in the
Greek army, Mr.. Giacoumelos
already held four medals
from King Constantine I for
his conduct in the Balkan
Wars and World War 1.
The Silver Cross he ac-
cepted Saturday was for "a

The doorman recalled the

Ambassador help him obtain
$50,000 from some company,
in compensation for an acci-
dent. The Ambassador. Mr..

A Republican Congressman
and the only member of that
august body to hold a degree
of Doctor of Music, has let go
a broadside at the Democrats
for all this talk about culture.
The Salute to the Arts"
luncheon given by the Wom-
ans National Democratic.
Club last Thursday is what
finally got Representative
Carroll Kearns' dander up.
THE PENN MA
LEGISLATOR has sent a let
ter to Mrs. Richard Boiling
and other members of the
luncheon committee Ito set
the record straight" The la
dies may still be reeling from
the blow.
, Noting that many people
are beginning to think that
the art interest of the Federal
Government" began with the
invitation to Robert Frost
and $50 other cultural lead
ers to attend the 1861 Inaug-
ural, Mr.. Kearns fires his
first shot. There came into
being. he observes. under
Eisenhower the National
Cultural Center Act, and the
International Cultural Ex-
change and Trade Fair Act
under which our great Or
cheStras, artists, drama, and
dance groups 6re sent over
seas to demonstrate United
States accomplishments in
the fine arts"
Then he blasts his second
Shot. President Eisenhower,
he said, called for the estab-
lishment Of Federal Advi-
sorry Council on the Arts and
although the Democrats have
been in control of the Con-
greSS since 1855, nothing has
happened.
Six years is an awfully
long time to wait for the es-
tablishment of such a new
Federal advisory agency. The
contemplated budget is only
$4,000. When our Gross Ma
tional Product is over $500
billion. it can be seen that
such a step would scarcely
un balance the National
Budget. So one may we'll ask
what is the reason for the
present timidity on the Dem
ocratic side in holding up the
early creation of such an Arts
Council?"
He next takes aim at the
Kennedy admins t ration,
pointing out that President
Kennedy himself Cabout a

ANDREW HATCHER White HOUSE
ASSOCIATE PRESS SECRETARY
ADDRESS SOU. BEAUTY CONGRESS
Large Crowd Attends B'ham Banquet
PERCY GREENE, MISSISSIPPI
EDITOR, AMONG GUESTS

Politics, Mr.. Hatcher said, is not
a game, but a science. He told the
gathering that as a science politics
must be related to registration and
voting. In this respect, he added
that beauticians were in good
position to make a contribution to
the more perfect functioning of
democracy.
The White House saw the Negro
group as making the least prog
ress, in comparison with other
fields, in the area of business and
economics. 1t was in this direction
that Mr.. Hatcher suggested that
Negro leadership should turn its
attention.
Economic advantage and i'm
provement for middle-class Ne
groes appear to be static" he said.
Mr.. Hatcher added: 1.-THE Negro as
an investor in the economy is al
most non-existent. Except in a
few cities such as Atlanta, Bir-
mingham and Chicago, and in a few
businesses such as insurance, cos
metology, service industries, linn
tied number of savings and loan as
sociations, Negroes have not or
gained their capital, nor put it to
work to make money and achieve
security and status in the COM
munity."
To back up his observation he
pointed out that even though the
Negro group represents over IL per

House Press Secretary to President
Kennedy was the principal speaker
for the 18th Annual Banquet here
Monday night, Aug. 7th of the
Southern Beauty Congress.
He was introduced by Emory o.
Jackson, managing editor of the
Birmingham World.
Mr.. Hatcher, the first member
of his racial group selected by
President Kennedy as a party to
his New Frontier" administration
also became the first member of
his racial identity to serve as a
White House press secretary.
He reviewed some of the "New
Frontier" detectives, detailed some
of the Cold War sacrifices he be-
lieves the American individual
should consider making spotlight
the record of the Kennedy admins
tration in the area of civil rights
and suggested that President Ken
nedy will rely upon administrative
tools rather than seeking new legis-
lation to advance forward the civil
rights struggle.
In an intimate note, he told the
banquet gathering of his personal
familiarity with beauty profess
sion, and also related an instance
of his effort toward opening new
doors for the Negro group while a
resident in California.
