Whereas, In previous administrations only four receptions were held at the White House each year, v ith the exception of the public one on New Year’s day, Mr Hoover’s first social program provided eight, separate dates were set for receiving members of the house and sen- j ate. wheras. formerly, the two! bodies were honored simultaneously. \<l<l New Receptions To the four traditional reoep-; tion.s. Mr. Hoover added new ones j for the government departments.: Previously, the state, war, navy and justice branches were the only ones' for which receptions were held, J their officials attending the diplomatic. army and navy and judicial; receptions. Now the treasury, postoffice, In- i terior. agriculture, commerce and la- j bor departments are invited to the j White House, two at a time. Conduct of relations with the! press was pondered by Mr. Hoover i for some weeks before he entered j the White House. Changes News System After conferences with a number of new: paper men he decided to chance the system which Coolidge had followed. The plan he worked out in time is different from any j practiced before, and Mr. Hoover ; •aid recently, after trying it for ten : months, that it had proved satisfactory to him. President Hoover, on entering ; office, created three categories within which lie might speak. The first j included statements which might be fjuoied verbatim. These are given newspaper men in written form. The second embraced material which might be attributed directly to Mr. Hoover or the White House, but not quoted directly. The third class was composed of statements the President might make merely for information. These were not to be credited to him in any way.
