I To You From Washington by Ethelyn Evans Washington, D. C. (Spl.) "White House Garden Parties" are thrilling! My first was a smallish one many years ago almost the last official party given by Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. This year I've reported on three, besides a brief "look-see" on two cold, stormy days when the "Youth Congress" and the "3,000 Democratic Worn n" were greeted from the south portico, and also when the kid dies rolled their Easter eggs on the lawn. All garden parties follow a quite similar pattern yet there are interesting differences. This year the splashing fountains are outlined with wide bands of scarlet tulips which are in turn ringed by lovely pansies. The magnolia, dogwood, redbud and forsythia bloom gayly while the fine old elms spread shade and look down benignly. It's an old, old story to themt There Is a platform for the Marino band in scarlet coats; the young military and naval aides (cream of the service) wear white and gold uniforms and white gloves; ushers and secretaries who now seem like old friends are out In force, plus scads of secret service men who look ilke anything in the world but detectives. They are plainclothes men, so called; the White House police, of course wear snappy uniforms. To all except the three semi public affairs last mentioned above, the social secretary is sues non-transferable invita tions. Inclosing door and wind shield cards. The guards can be and often are really hard boiled about these cards. THE recent party for the Red Cross was a mass of color, with all workers and volunteers in varicolored uniforms and men and women delegates to their national convention wearing bright ribbon badges and glit tering Red Cross pins. Late, on the same afternoon, women government workers holding executive or appointive positions were received. Mrs. Roosevelt headed the line, as sisted by Mrs. Garner (for a brief time! and the wives of cabinet officers, or their sub stitutes. Some were not as expert as the First Lady in grasping the hand and gently pulling the guest on by, so we saw some women in the line rubbing ach ing right arms. In fact, petite Mrs. Noble, representing Harry Hopkins' department of com merce, was all but ready for an ambulance call. She had nodded her pert little hat and clusters of curls all awry, her arm was practically paralyzed, and her ankles numb from standing for hours on htgh heeled sandals. For the first time, secretaries to these wo men officials were Invited this llll THE ' I E. A, Ellis Agency PORTLAND, Takes Pleasure In Announcing The Appointment of WILLIAM E.

I 1"HI "veterans" reception was next The gaiety was much . like laughing to hide one's tears. ; Red Cross ambulances brought many. A line of veterans and : nurses In wheel chairs even in ! casts sat near the band and were objects of solicitous care by scores of Red Cross and regular nurses. Both the Presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt receiv ed that day. He came in his car and sat beneath an elm, while Mrs. Roosevelt stood at his side wearing a beautiful Eleanor blue lace gown and hat to match. ' This was the day before Mr. Roosevelt presented his defense plan and report to congress, and he looked very tired, but was laughing and vivacious as he shook bands with his guests uniformed men smartly saluting their commander-in-chief. In the line was an adorable three-year-old boy in the complete uniform of marine officer. Each state was represented by a girl from the Veterans' Bu reau, and Oregon's choice was pretty young Julia Leatherman from Coquille, Ore. Mrs. CordeU Hull almost late fairly ran across the lawn to greet the President before he and his wife entered the car for a drive about the grounds. Mrs. Roosevelt stayed and mingled with the crowd, but the President was taken back to his office. Admiral Richard E. Byrd Just arrived to plead the cause of his Ant arctic expedition before con gress was there In white sum mer uniform. Refreshments are always de licious cakes and raspberry fla vored lemonade punch served on attractive tables beneath candy striped marquees, al though for the veterans, ice cream and sandwiches were added. Upon advice of the gar deners, the long, winding lines of guests and also the receiving line keep moving to the right at intervals to avoid trampling the lawn beyond renewal. DEAL stars in this columnist game Pegler, Thompson, Lindley, et al, seem to thrive on controversies in print from time to time. Mayhap I'll start a mild argument with a big wire service, since we're on the subject of White House teas, et cetera: Right smack on page 1 of my favorite paper (M. M. T.) I saw a story to the effect that the entire D. A. R. dele gation this spring was practical ly aghast with surprise at be ing invited to tea at the White House, account Mrs. Roosevelt having resigned. Now, I worked alongside that newswrlter a lot that week, and we sat on the front row when Mrs. Roosevelt explained that! of course a D. A. R. White House tea would be held as usual and always even the ex act hour and day of the week are always the same, you know. The D. A. R.'s have visited their country's executive mansion for the past SO years, "lrregardless," as Amos and Andy might say, of who might be the presiding chatelaine at the moment. The OREGON THI surprise would come only If the visit were omitted from the program. Not that It really matters, but of course my co-worker found no really surprised daugh ter not even herself. Tired of reporting prosaic routine, one chance glance at some mem ber's quizzically raised eyebrow and she was off on her story. Not that one can blame her who wouldn't want to hit the front page? L Public announcement was made of the resignation of the Rev. Fred P. Thompson, Jr., as pastor of the Central Avenue Church of Christ. Mr. Thompson said he was leaving here to pur sue graduate studies. His state ment follows: "I have resigned from the ministry of the Central Avenue Church of Christ, having served the congregation since Septem ber, 1939. All of my relations th the church have been of the happiest nature. "Only one consideration prompts me to terminate this work and that is the opportunity to continue my education. I am returning to southern California to take graduate work in the Pacific Bible seminary. Long Beach. For no other reason would I consider leaving. I take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the co-operation and kind ness with which the church has met my efforts." TRAIN CREW "KILLED IN WASHOUT WRECK Farmingdale, N. J., June 10. OP) The engineer and fireman of a Pennsylvania railroad train were killed and at least 23 pas sengers Injured last night when a washout near here derailed the train as it sped from Trenton toward Long Branch in a driving thunderstorm.
