S. citizens following the naturalization ceremonies. 99 new citizens were greeted by officers and members of WBA in the Lawyers' Lounge in the New Courthouse where coffee and sandwiches were served. The reception had the enthusiastic sup- port of Chief Justice Stevens of the Court of Appeals and of Chief Judge Laws of the District Court. New Citizens Appreciative Many of the new citizens expressed de- light at having received special invita- tions and at being so honored on such an important occasion in their lives. One of the many letters of thanks which our President has received summed up the appreciation of the new Americans: I want to thank you and your organ- ization and all those who gave us that wonderful reception for your keen interest in all of us. It cer- tainly means a lot to new citizens to realize how warmheartedly they are received, not only by their friends and relatives, but by an organization such as yours, and it certainly adds to our pride. It was a wonderful day and I will remember it as long as I live. Receptions to Continue Representatives of various civic groups present expressed their intention of sponsoring future reoeptiohs, which will also be under the continuing sponsorship of WBA. ADMINISTRATIVE LAW SECTION WELCOMES WOMEN ATTORNEYS The President and Recording Secretary attended the meeting of the Administra- tive Law Section of the D. C. Bar Assin on February 16. The President spoke on WBA and its members in administrative law practice. At the close of the meeting Chairman Don Beelar suggested that WBA members join the Administrative Law Section. It was pointed out that associate members of the D.C. Bar Ass'n have full voting rights within the Section. LEGAL SOORITIES SPONSOR NATURALIZATION RECEPTION Kappa Beta Pi and Phi Delta Delta Legal Sororities will sponsor the next recep- tion in the Lawyers' Lounge in the New Courthouse on March 9, 11 to 1:00 p.m. It is hoped that all members of WBA will make an effort to come and make the second party as successful as the first. HOOVER TASK FORCE ASKS HELP OF WBA MEMBERS Mr. Henry M. Shine, representative of the the Task Force on Legal Services and Procedure 6f the Hoover Commission has asked Joan Murphy, our President, for the cooperation of the WBA in the work of the Task Force. Mr. Shine had been particularly impressed with Joan's state- ment before the Administrative Law Section that so many of our members are engaged in the practice of law in govern- ment departments and he feels that the long experience of these members would be of great help to the Task Force.
