England DevaIues Pound Sterling; Chaos Reigns
By Hal Cooper

cut in the dollar value of the pound sterling nit the British pub lie like blow in the face. There was financial turmoil the world over.
 The Labor Government, in a desperate gamble to save the na- ton from threatened bankruptcy hunger and misery, slaShed the worth of the pound last night from S4.03 to $2.8O.
 Banks were closed. The London stock exchange and those in France, Holland, Greece, South Africa and many other countries were shut down. Foreign exchange trading was forbidden in much Of Europe and the sterling area. Ir London, harried brokers traded stocks and bonds on the sidewalk
 Business was at a virtual stand still in this great city which once was the financial and economic heart of the world.
 Eleven nations of Europe and Asia quickly cheapened their money to match the British move Cabinets in other world capitals held emergency session to decide ! what to do.
 It was the biggest financial tur- mOil the world has seen since Bri- tain went off the gold standard on another September Sunday night almost Is years ago to the day.
 ReValuatiOn of the pound was intended to solve Britain'S grave financial crisis by selling more and cheaper goods to America.
 The new cheaper pound means that American may buy Scotch Whiskey, English tweeds, Staff fordshire china and many other British products at lower prices.
 By midday 2,OOO stock brokers and clerks damned into the street in front of the stock exchange. They had an open air market go- ing especially in booming gold shares.
 The British economic boss Sir Stafford Cripps said last night in a nationwide radio address that England is banking on big boost in dollar earnings - enough for Britain to become self-SuppOrting by the time the European ReCOV- cry program ends in 1852.
 That is the only permanent so- lution for our difficultieS-earn more dollars" Cripps declared.
 He warned that if Britain's gold reserves continue to drain away as fast as they have in recent months, Britons will suffer "lower standards (of living and wide spread unemployment.
 The same problem faces most of the other countries of the world outside the Soviet orbit, where economic policies are dictated by the Kremlin.
 Within a few hours after Bri- tain's announcement, similar cuts in the value of their currency were announced by Australia South Africa. India, New Zealand, Ireland, Israel, Norway, Denmark, Malaya, Burma, and Egypt.
 France, Italy, Sweden, Holland, Greece and Finland suspended dealings in foreign exchange. Tn Canada, linked with trade ties

fact that an invitation has been formally
worded indicates that the function in
question is formal. Most persons who en-
tertain in their own homes, and many who
entertain in private rooms at clubs, res
taurants or hotels. are limited as to space
and cut their coats to fit their cloth, 50 to
speak. If q. dining room holds only 10
guests comfortably, prospective host
esses do not plan to have more than
that for q seated meal.
On the other hand, they usually want
as many as that for an occasion of festive
character. Moreover, if the function in
question is dinner, they almost invari-
ably plan to have an even number of men
and women. Often they do this in the case
of a luncheon too. The failure of even one
potential guest to reply promptly may not
only prevent hostess from filling in"
with congenial substitute, but may COM
pletely unbalance her table.

mother used to lay down to me with
all the authority of woman born and

"Once you have accepted an invitation

severely. there is only one excuse for
your non-attendance at it. That is your

tory substitute"
Any hostess who has spent hours in re-
arranging seating plans may be pardoned
for feeling that the originator of this grim
jest must have been driven to desperation
before giving tongue to it. Also, that the
maxim is not without some merit.

A great deal also hinges on this very
question of oongeniality. An experienced
hostess is not concerned merely with how
many persons she may expect, but whether
they will have good time together.
She does not voluntarily place a gushing
debutante beside an aged archaeologist, or
a football star beside dowager whose
main interest lies in ancestry.
In WASHINGTON, and in most other places
where the question of official rank further
complicates the seating of a table, there is
an unwritten law that every formal invi-
tation must be acknowledged within "a

can you tell me what is the exact
meaning of R.S.V.P., and what is in

An invitation extended
over the telephone, in person
or in an informal note, may
usually be answered in this
same casual though cordial
manner. 1t generally relates
to a cocktail party, a buffet

sort. The number of guests
who can be accommodated at
such a party is more or less
flexible and no attempt is

|vFW Opposes Hoover Plan
As Ending GI Preference

Veterans preference in civil
service jobs would be ended if the
Hoover Commission skilled, non-
political civil service" program is
put into effect. Clyde A. Lewis.
commander Of the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars, said yesterday.
He said some of the commission
recommendations are sound and
the veterans organization advo-
Gates efficient and economical gov
ernment, but he added that the
veterans would suffer If all recon-
mendations are enacted into law.
Mr.. Lewis outlined four points
on which he said his organization
opposes the recommendations:
These include the recommendation
to transfer Veterans Administra-
ton hospital and medical services
to an independent administra-
ton, transfer the CT home loan
guaranty program to the Housing
and Home Finance Agency, con-
solidation Of insurance functions
and changes In the present policy
of veterans preference in the
