cellent program.
Secretary McKay has had a busy week
of office conferences, a Congressional ap
propriations hearing, and White House
meetings. In addition, he attended the re
ception given by members of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce for the Washington
Congressional delegation at the Sheraton
Carlton Friday evening and the annual din
ner of the Alfalfa Club on Saturday eve
ning at the Statler. At the latter event,
the President was an interested spectator
of the fun-making program. Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge was introduced as the
club's candidate for president but' the audi
ence remembered that none of the candi
dates advanced by the club in its annual
tongue-in-cheek campaign has ever been
elected. Some one at home has remarked
that menus from Washington banquets are
of interest and in this case. I report that
the diners were served terrapin soup an
maderc, lobster and rrab Newhurg ail
sherry, filet micnon and mushrooms With
sauce, Pericourdine and hnmhe glare, with
sauce cardinale. It would he of more in
terest to Ihe recipe-collectors if the con
tents of the several sauces could he ana
lyzed. In addition to these affairs, the Secretary
was installed as a member of the Board
of Trustees at the morning service of the
National Presbyterian Church Sundav and
during the week attended a luncheon of the
Post Mortem Club where he was presented
with a special award with which the club
"spoofs" its guests. Dr. William Pearl,
newly appointed Bonneville Power Admin
istrator, was sworn in at a ceremony in the
Secretary's office this week and joined the
Secretary and the top secretarial staff at
lunch. Mrs. McKay has been struggling
with a bronchial cold and cancelled en
gagements during the week, but she has
improved and will join with other cabinet
wives Tuesday noon in a luncheon honor
ing Mrs. Eisenhower.
