was N ade ct the White
House judiciary reception
Wednesday afternoon. It
came from Mrs. james v.
Bennett, who was there with
her husband, the Director Of
the Federal Bureau Of Pris-
ons.
The BENEFITS were chat
ting with Justice and Mrs.
Hugo Black and Justice Bill
Douglas and his pretty young
bride In the Green Room,
when I heard Mrs. Bennett
say. I'm In favor Of turning
Acatraz into q nightclub."
That's q sensational
ideal" said I. thinking how it
could definitely outclasS,
with its dark-of-night trip
over water. any Of those eel
lar type nightspots in Paris
where beatnik intellectuals
discussed exiStentalism in
dim light over q bottle Of
wine. You mean the kind
lit by candles emerging from
q mountain Of wax dr1pp-
ings?"
Yes" she said, but my
husban d doesn't 60 along
with the idea" why not2" I
asked. Think Of the appeal
1t would have-jazz at Alca-
traz."
Mr.. Bennett went further:
Get your Jazz with raz-ma,
tazz at Alcatraz."
The impregnable island
fortress Chats the kind Of
place where some people
ought to do their nightclub-
bing) Is q white elephant on
the Governments hands, and
like Ellis Island, its future
will be decided by a commit
tee. obody wants 1t, said
Mr.. Bennett. and the COM
mittee has to decide what to
do with It.

PAMELA TURNURE'S dec
Grafton - the one she
was we airing at the White
House on Wednesday-con-

sented to her by her White
House colleagues at q birth
day celebration in PANS
honor that same day.
Caught off-guard by the
sudden appearance Of this
high honor she so proudly
sported below her left shoul-

little late with the citation.
SO here it is:
