Supreme Court justices, in
GLIDING the chief, turn up for
an embassy independence day
reception, it's a major honor
for that nation.
Philippine Am b ASA dor
Amelito Mutuc probably can
take some personal credit for
such q representation from
the top court of the land.
He will address next months
conference of chief justices
in Athens, Greece-and on
the United States Independ-
ence Day, he gloated to
Chief Justice Warren.
The two met last night at
the Philippine Independence
Day reception at the Embas-
sy. Both men will deliver adj
dresses at the conference.
Forming the minority Of four
with the Chief Justice were
Associate Justices White,
Douglas and Clark. Backup

Stanley Reed.
Ambassador Mutuc leaves
In about three weeks, al
though his resignation has
not yet been accepted, he
said last night. He could not
comment on rumors which
were flying as to who would
replace him. Most interest
ing was that it would be the
former Philippine Ambassa-
dor, Carlos Romulo, new
president Of the University Of
the Philippines.
500 Guests
Mrs. Mutuc greeted her
more than 500 guests with
her husband. Her elegant
national costume Of white
satin was heavily beaded
with a brilliant blue design
and set the stage for a beau
tifully run reception.
The Philippine touch
organized. smooth and serene
was evident from the
moment one entered. Women
guests were given a strand
Of "sampaguita," Philippine
national flower. An elegant
brochure with a colored print
Of this flower was presented
to diplomats and their wives.
However. the blossom was
probably better known to
many as Hawaii's famous
pikake, made into leis which
had been flown in from the
50th State.
A Philippine guest who is
prominent in so many organ
izations only a few can be
listed here was Miss Helena
2. Benitez. This tall, dark
delegate to the World Food
Congress also represents her
country on the United Ma
tionS Commission on the
Status Of Women. is execu-

United States to open at
New York's Lincoln Center.
Miss Benitez accompanied
Ambassador and Mrs. Mutuc
to a noon ceremony in the
White Rose Garden. where

at q presentation by the

tools and equipment for the
