For the first time In 10 years, the diplomatic corps trooped en masse up the marble stairs of the White House In Its fanciest regalia to be greeted by the President and First Lady. Exactly 1,419 attended the bril liant state reception, the most colorful social gathering in the Capital, not barring inaugural balls and cherry blossom festivals. In the group were 62 ambassadors of foreign countries and 10 min isters, their wives and members of their staffs. For the men white tie was a must. Even the Secret Service wore white tie and tails. For the Indies it was long white gloves, though they could wear either long or short evening gowns. The First Lady wore her sparkling, crystal embroidered pink peau de sole in augural ball gown, with double strand choker of pearls with round els of crystal, and matching ear rings and long pink suede gloves, for. the second and last time. They're due to be museum pieces at the Smithsonian from now on. At least a dozen different na tional costumes were spotted in the throng pf guests, and countless bright-colored ribands and massive jeweled decorations on the men. There were the usual Washing ton traffic jams, indoors and out, going and coming, but things got under way around 9 p.m., when the red-coated Marine Band or chestra, stationed as always be hind the palms in the main foyer, played the official "ruffles" and "Hail to the Chief". The Eisenhow ers came down the stairs from their second floor private apartments with a color guard, four regular White House aides, the President's three military aides and members of the cabinet. It seems cabinet attendance at state receptions is no longer mandatory. Only four mem bers showed up. Everybody seemed reasonably happy to be there except one vet eran society reporter who com plained that the new staircase directly across, from the Blue Room, to which the presidential parly proceeds immediately, pre vents people from getting a good ogle. During the depression 1930s, scientists estimated that U. S. population would level off at about 154 million people, but the nation now has more than 160 million.
