we have saved those we re-
ceived from the Harry Tru-
mans and the Dwight D.
Eisenhowers.
WHEN PRESIDENT AND
MRS. KENNEDY dispensed
with the historic custom Of
sending engraved invitations
to social reporters. there was,
OF course, some grumbling.
But 1t was quickly forgotten
In a wave of admiration for
their several gracious inno-
vations.
For instance, on evenings
when they attended the mu-
sicales that followed state
dinners, the press were not
kept waiting in the front hall
until everyone else had been
seated In the East Room be-
fore they we're invited to sit
in the rear OF the room, as
had been the case during the
Eisenhower regime.
The Eisenhowers did this
because they always had
their dinner guests enter the
ballroom in a fast-paced pro-
cession of couples, and If the
scribes were within speaking
distance of the procession,
everybody in 1t stopped and
shook hands with them. The
press got their chance to talk
to the guests after the mu-
sicale, when everyone went
into the dining room for
champagne.
But the Kennedys made
the journalists feel wonder
fully welcome by being in
vited to have coffee and
liqueurs with the others, and
by being invited to enter the
ballroom at the same time
everyone else went in. And I
shall never forget the feeling
Of gratitude and appreciation
all the newswomen felt and
expressed the night President
Kennedy brought President
Prado of Peru over to the
group Of them and introduced
each one, as any proper party
host would do. The pro-
Kennedy stories scared in
number from that one single
act.
Indeed, If President and
Mrs, Kennedy could count on
receiving from political re-
porterS and columnists and
feature writer's the kind of
press they have received from
social reporters and column
nists. they would have moth
ing to worry about.

natural, easy elegance and
warmth that prevailed at the
White House. They we're the
first to heap praise on the
new presidential pair for
making the White House a
mecca for the intellectual
and artistic greats of Amer
lea, They stood behind the
First Lady In her attempt to
make the Executive Mansion
a more beautiful and anthem
tic residence, and they told
millions of United States citi-
zens that 1t was all for the
good. They became Mrs. Ken
nedy's weekly, sometimes
daily, channels for stimulat-
ing an interest In culture
throughout the country. They
helped fan the new excite
ment that sold thousands of
White House catalogues, in
creased the number Of tour
lists and even brought in a
historic work Of art now and
then.
Why would President and
Mrs. Kennedy want to do
anything that would dampen
this enthusiasm? What hap

who love historic tradition

precedented step2 This is the

the only explanation Of
fered came from the First
Lady's Press Secretary. Pam
ella TTnure, who suggested
that possibly the press was
not going to be allowed to
mingle with the guests in the
future because of some Of the
women asking probing ques-
tons that made White House
guests uncomfortable.
This seems hardly logical
inasmuch as there have been
only four types of traditional
receptions since the Ken
nedys took over. They are the
diplomatic, the congressional,
the judicial and the military,
and all four are peopled by
officials society reporters are
exposed to week in and week
out.

are proverbially such bad
news sources that questions
are rarely put to them any,

members of Congress are so

The social press of WASH
ington is at a loss to under
stand the reason behind the
sudden midterm concern
about press coverage at White
House receptions.
1t was announced on
Wednesday that thereafter
reporters of the social scene
would be allowed to remain
at receptions only long
enough to watch the guests
arrive from q distance and
witness the descent down the
stairs Of the presidential
party.
BY Thursday afternoon,
when the diplomatic recep-
ton took place. the ruling
had been changed again due
to protests, and the reporters
were allowed to mingle with
the guests as usual. But the
fact that such a ban was
considered at all produced
open-mouthed establishment
among those who have COW
cred these parties for years.
PRESS SECRET AIRY
PIER RE SALINGER said
when he announced the
clamp-do that this was a
return to the custom Of the
Eisenhower administration,
but someone must have mis-
informed him. Society re-
porters were not only allowed
to cover all the traditional
official White House recep-
tons during the Eisenhower
administration as well as the
Truman administration, but
we received engraved invita-
tons to the parties.
The report that appeared
In a national news magazine
right after the Kennedy's
first White House party that
reporters were allowed to
mingle with the guests for
the first time was 100 per
cent erroneous. We always
mingled with the guests at
such parties.
This columnist can speak
from first-hand experience
only as far back as the Tru-
man administration. But
Miss Katharine M. Brooks,
who previously covered such
affairs for The Star, said
that speaking from her own
experience and that of her
mother, except for q period
during the Theodore Roose-
welt administration, writers of
the social scene have been
treated as guests at all the
traditional official White
House receptions all the way
back to McKinley's time.
That Is when Miss Brooks
mother. the late Mrs. Hobart
Brooks. began her social re-
porting. And for all those
parties they received en-
graved invitations which are
still treasured today Just as

1t is true that occasionally

Besides, comments to re-
