This letter is one Of q number
I have received lately asking
"Just what is meant by saying
that a wedding is formal?"
Generally 1t applies to the
preparations. These would In
clude at least a rather elaborate
wedding dress with train and veil
music, floral decorations. wedding
attendants. engraved invitations
Actually, of course. every marriage
service is formal regardless OF the
wedding preparations.
Not Alone at Dance Holl
Dear Mrs. Post: I've never had
q date with boy and I'm almost
II. A girl friend is coaxing me
to 60 with her to a local dance
hall because she thinks there we
may meet some boys. Mother says
mo" to this, but she has relented
to q degree at least. She said
she'd abide by what you say.
Answer: If the nice girls In
your community 60 in groups
alone to this dance hall, your
mother might perhaps let you 60
too. But as a rule no girl should
60 to q dance hall unaccompanied
by a boy-and certainly dance
hall is not the place for any girl
alone to meet one!
Knife When Not in Use
Dear Mrs. Post: What is the
proper position of the knife during
the course Of the meal when 1t
is not being used?
Answer: Laid diagonally across
the rim Of the plate. 1t should
not be propped with handle on
the table.
SoIod Sense
Dear Mrs. Post: When salad
is served early in the meal on q
separate plate stood at the side,
when is 1t supposed to be eaten?

BAYOU Political Boss
Perez, States Fighters Leader Here,
Reported Heavy in Louisiana OIL

makes a farce Of the Dixiecrat
mouthings about returning gov
ernment to the people and re-
viving local democracy.
Leander Perez was the chief
architect of the Dixiecrat move
ment in Louisiana. In that State
the chief issue. as far as interests
behind the Dixiecrats were con-
cerned. was State, rather than
Federal, control Of ol-bearing
tidelands. President Truman was
for Federal control. Therefore. he
must be defeated at all costs.
Mr.. Perez was behind the action
Of the State Democratic Central
Committee last summer in ruling
President Truman's name of the
ballot in Louisiana. This was so
bald and shocking and stirred up
such a protest outside the State
that Gov. Earl Long called spe-
cial session Of the Legislature to
put the Presidents name on the
ballot, though under the sign of
a donkey rather than the rooster
50 familiar to Southern voters,
which was pre-empted by the
Dixiecrats. The Perez tactics paid
of. The Dixiecrats carried Loui-
siana.
Skilled in Tidelands Fight.
Here on the ground as director
Of the Washington headquarters
Of the States Rights organization,
Mr.. Perez would be in q conven-
lent position to carry on the fight
Of the States to get control Of oil
tidelands which is now in hot
dispute in Congress with negotia-
tions on for compromise Of some
sort. He is q clever and skillful
operator.
Oil has long been powerful in
Louisiana politics. This reporter
investigated 10 years ago the run
ming Of hot oil" out Of louisiana s
bayous and coastline contrary to
conservation regulations. The
Federal Government uncovered all
the necessary - and unsavory
faces-but no prosecution re-
suited. Some Of the powerful

era In Louisiana were involved.
Politics Is more than honest

This Changing World
U.S.. Discounts Reports From Balkans
OF impending Attack on Yugoslavia

more Communist indoctrination
than military training.
The Russian mentors Of these
satellite armies have not been
particularly anxious to create real
fighting forces-until they had
become good and faithful serv-
ants Of Moscow. It is generally
assumed that If the satellites suf-
fered reverses after launching an
attack q great portion Of their
soldiers would go over to the
enemy bag and baggage.
Thus, if Moscow were planning
to attack Yugoslavia through its
Danubian satellites its top mill
tary leaders must realize that de-
feat is almost inevitable. There
are, however, between 10000 and
100000 Russian combat troops in
Romania and Hungary-a force
which is maintained to secure
lines of communications between
the U. 8. s. r. and the Soviet
armies Of occupation In Austria.
Pretense Could Not Last.
According to some reports. this
force could be used to bolster the
weak satellite forces without any
appearance that Russia was actu-
ally engaging in a war Of aggres-
sion against Yugoslavia. This
pretense could not last long, how
ever.
Western military observers be-
lieve that unless Russia becomes
engaged in a full-scale expedition
involving several armies the
chances of defeating Tito through
the efforts of his neighbors are
extremely slim.
The main disadvantage under
which the Yugoslav army labors
is the fact that it is equipped ex-
clusively with Russian equipment,
which is entirely different from
that manufactured in the West.
The amount Of arms and ammu-
milton available in Yugoslavia is
limited. It is unlikely that Tito
has stockpiles which would last
more than six months. Even If
the West were willing to help him,
Western ammunition would be Of
no assistance. because Of differ
ences in caliber.
A direct Soviet attack on Yugo-
slavia-while not discounted en-
tirely in diplomatic circles-is
considered unlikely by military
observers who have maintained
for more than a year that the
U. 8. s. r. is not ready yet to
launch World War III.
There; seems to be no doubt that
aggression In the Balkans, openly
involving Russia, will not be local
lied but will spread throughout
the world.
Evening star., 1949-08-24

because they did not believe that
Russia herself was ready to un-
leash what would certainly be-
come World War III. And the
three satellites on Yugoslavia's s
borders are not strong enough to
defeat the Yugoslav forces with
out the active assistance Of the
Red armies.
The dramatic recent exchange
Of notes between Russia and
Yugoslavia, reminiscent Of the
fateful days Of the summer OF
1899, has caused military men In
the West to increase their watch
fulness, and while they still dc
not believe an armed clash will
occur in the immediate future,
they are counseling their govern
ments to be on the lookout.
Tito Army In Shape.
From the strictly military point
Of view and on the basis Of avail
able military estimates, Yugosla-
via can defeat the Hungarian
Romanian- Bulgarian forces with
one hand If they launch q simul-
taneous attack. The Yugoslav
army, which was built by the
U. S. s. r. after the war ended,
is in excellent shape. It has about
40 first line combat divisions. out
Of which at least three have mod
ern tanks.
Tito has at his disposal q small
but efficient air force and excel
lent defense works on the borders
of his three former friends who
are now avowed enemies.
The forces Of the three hostile
Soviet satellites are weak, par
ticularly in that their soldiers are
not reliable fighters. Their troops
have been impressed into the
armed forces, where they received

The second morning in the park
we were no more than ten minutes
from the rest camp, where we had

protect us from the innumerable
wild animals which roam the

we came upon a magnificent
black-maned lion and his two
lionesses, stretched out on the
rocks of q dry river bed.
They were no more than Is feet
from our car, and we had a per-

to growl.

A few minutes later the lion
climbed to the top of a big rock,
ears pricked, and started shifting.
Then he bounded off and we fol-
lowed in our car. Occasionally we
could see him through the low
bush. After about a mile a herd
