VOGUE CLUB
BY Betty johnson

Little Brown jug time was
really a good time at 222 18th
Ave. Saturday night. T h e
Vogues were on parade in their
rare costumes, and wearing hats
of orange and black inscribed
"Vogues'. Their pre-Hallow-
cen party was a jolly festivity.
The tables were set in tradi-
tional colors for Goblin night.
The fluted nut cups filled with
assorted nuts and goodies were
an indication that there was
"black and white" for the de-
lightful feeling. The guests
were given Halloween hats and
escorted to the various gay
parts of the Little Brown jug,
The crowd danced, played
games, and as the night grew
on a COLLINS punch known as
the Vogues special had the
crowd floating, but to the soft
music. There are six members
of the club. The club colors are
green and yellow, the flower
is Talisman Rose. The Vogues
are to parties as Vogue is tt
Fashion.

Reds Pour New Troop,
Onto Hainan Beaches;
Formosa Worried
Chang Calls Chiefs;
Defense Fighting Said
To Lack Coordination
By the As.eeiofed Presa

TAIPEI, Formosa, April ia
reliable source said tonight the
Chinese Reds have landed REIN
forcements on Hainan Island,
where they won two beachheads
Monday.
CA civilian pilot who arrived
in Hong Kong today from
Hainan said the Reds have
landed 5000 more troops on the
northern beaches.)
Jubilation over earlier National
ist claims of a smashing victory
gave way to anxiety in this Ma
tionalist capital.
Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek called his service chiefs into
a huddle to find what went wrong
on the South China island. They
sought to develop quickly a
smoother coordination between
commanders there.
Defense units apparently fought
independently of each other.
This permitted the Reds to make
deep inroadS.
One high official said the situ-
alton was serious.
The informant said, however,
the Reds landed only a few new
troops. He said many troop-laden
craft were sunk before they could
reach the beachhead.
Admiral Kewi Yung ching, Ma
tionalist naval chief. said it was
hard to stop all invading craft
"One of the most difficult
things in the world to sink is q
wooden junk" he said. 1--WE

planes waiting in Denmark even
before the United States plane
involved in the incident had
taken off from Wiesbaden April

viously prepared provocation."
New Times said the incident was
a plain Intentional provocation, !"
and described it as training in
the fabric Of international in
cidents."
After the American provoca-
ton in the Baltic it is evident that
Washington has set out upon the
same risky path of provocations
and instigation of international
incidents and conflict along which

Representative Taber OF New
York opened the Republican econ
omy drive on the $29 billion single
package appropriations bill today
with a move to cut the Federal
share of District expenses 10 per
cent.
His motion, if adopted, would
require the United States to pay
only $40, 300, 600 instead of the $l2
million lump sum fixed in perma-
nent law by the Republican Con-
gress in 1947.
This reduced Federal payment
would leave it up to the District
to meet the remainder of a budget
which totaled more than $119
million as submitted by the Presi-
dent in January.
In support of his motion, Mr..
Taber charged that the tax rate
on real estate in Washington is
about half the rate in most
communities. He said the tax
rate here "runs SIT, $18 or $19 per
thousand-I don't remember the
figure" Elsewhere he argued, it
runs in most communities from
$35 to $40 per thousand.
Committee Opposition Seen.
Mr.. Taber's motion is expected
to be opposed by the Appropria-
tions Committee, led by Repre-
sentative Bates, Democrat, of
Kentucky, in charge of the Dis
trict budget.
Before the opening of debate
Mr.. Bates had denounced the
move to cut the Federal payment.
He said any reduction in the
Federal share of National Capital
costs was not justified and hoped
the House would repect it.
The Districts budget for next
year will come up later as a sep
arate bill. but congressional lead
ers threw the Federal payment
into the omnibus measure in order
to get all national expenditures
into one package.
