A prospective hostess explains
as follows: Were giving buffet
supper at our club, in honor OF
our 25th wedding anniversary
Most people take an invitation to
buffet supper to mean infor-
mality, even to the extent that
the men come in business suits
Women, needing no encourage
ment to dress. generally outdress
the men. We'd like this particular
party to be just a little more for
NAL than an ordinary party. How
can we tell the men that we would
like them to wear tuxedos?"
Until a few years ago an in
vitation to an anniversary party
given in the evening would have
meant that the gentlemen would
appear in evening clothes. The
only decision to be made there
was between tailcoats and tuxedos
Today, I have to agree with you
that the decision may be between
tuxedos and business suits. In
stead of specifying white ties
or BLACK ties" it quite definitely
will be wiser for you to add
'Tuxedos, Please" at the end of
your invitation.
Cord Prizes
Dear Mrs. Post: At shower
the other day for a prospective
mother, the card prizes were all
baby presents. Obviously the
winners were expected to turn
them over to the guest of honor
AS it happens some of us have
small babies of our own and we
felt that we should be permitted
to keep the prizes. What is your
opinion?
Answer: I always have agreed
that the custom in certain local
tiles of turning over the "high-
score prize" to the guest of honor,
instead of its being kept by the
winner, is not only unfair but

that there is nothing that one in
dividual can do against this prac-
tice without running the risk Of
being considered very rude.
Honorary PoIIbeorers
Dear Mrs. Post: Do the
honorary pallbearers at a funeral
wear black gloves and black ties?
Answer: Yes. if they wear for

whether or not to hire him. One
of them said he liked him because
he didn't preach hell and damna-

 FIFTY TO ONE
 SHELL BATTLE
By Associated Press

American troops overwhelmed desperate Reds in a roaring artillery duel on the Korean war front to- day and then crashed ahead for new gains
 The Reds threw their heaviest arr tillery fire of the war
 Americans answered with a bar rage that out-thundered the Reds, 50 shells to one.
 The drive carried an American division onto high ground north of Hongchon. an important road hub 20 miles south of Parallel 38.
 Reds Halt Retreat
 Earlier Friday the Reds abruptly halted their eight-day retreat on the Central front. They turned on the Allies with their heaviest ar tillery barrage yet
 Then came the roaring American echo.
 LIN warplanes joined in the blast ing with rockets, fire bombs and machine guns.
 New Defense Line
 The new Communist defense line stretches across Korea for 30 miles, just below the Chinese Reds field headquarters at Chunchon.
 Just before the Reds turned to stand before the advancing Allied forces. they gave up the road june ton of Hongchon, 20 miles south of the Parallel that divides North and South Korea. LIN troops. rid ing tanks, drove into the town un- der only small arms fire. The town that held 40,D00 Red troops week ago was all but deserted.
 Red Casualties
 U. S. Eighth Army headquarters estimated that 1880 Communist troops were killed or wounded Thursday making the total l72,- 000 since Jan. 25, when the Allies DcfdL Vo puoii HUI LII.
 The Communist defense line was under attack from the U s. 24th and 18th Infantry Divisions from Hongchon west.
 East of the battle-wrecked South Korean capitol of Seoul, the U. s. Third Division pushed forward. Northwest of the Republican capitol, South Korean troops withdrew after meeting Red patrols.
 Meanwhile, General MacArthur has cautioned President Syngman Rhee of the Republic of Korea against returning immediately to Seoul with his government. The LIN commander messaged Rhee that the Reds had not suffered a decisive defeat in their withdrawal.

WANTS REC
 ABOLISHED;
 U5(( PLEA

WASHINGTON, March 16 --R- Directors of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce called today for abolition of the REC.
 The 45-member board of the busi- ness organization adopted resolu- ton saying:
 Facts disclosed by the Fulbright Subcommittee have created uncer- tainty and distrust concerning REC procedure. Engaged as we are i'll a national mobilization effort. we can not afford to have the integrity or general moral level of the Gov ernment or any of it's agencies sub ject to question"
 Senator Fulbright (D-Ark) heads a Senate Banking Subcommittee which has been investigating REC lending. The group has charged that some directors of the REC have yielded to influence in mak- ing loans.
 As a result of the committees disclosures, considerable sentiment has built up in Congress for killing the REC.
 Fulbright himself has taken the stand that the agency should be continued but reorganized and cleaned" up.
 Some Congress members also ar que the REC is a big help to small business and ought to be continued for that reason.
 There is a dispute in the Senate also as to whether the Fulbright Committee should continue it's REC investigation. Fulbright has said he wants to bring the inquiry to an early end, but Republicans in par ticular are calling for it's continu- ation.

 The Wandering Wasillan" re- turned for the afternoon session after his morning walkout in protest against Senate-approved bill granting a general pay increase to Territorial officials and employees.
 His case was not forgotten though. Sen. R. M. Mackenzie (D-Ketchi- kan) challenged Snider's right to a Senate seat on the grounds the Wasilla Republican was ineligible to election as a Federal employe of the Alaska Road Commission.
 Dr. Mackenzie said if Snider had not been elected former Senator Vic Rivers would have been and the Democrats would have had a working majority in the Senate. He suggested the Senate should accept Snider's resignation" and seat Riv- CTS for the 1853 session, if not next week.
 Snider retorted that he worked for the Road Commission only dur ing the summer months, never after election, and was only day laborer. He insisted the law did not apply to him.
 One Sport Licensed

ROME. = The most important thing that every American is en- titled to know about Marshal Plan Aid to Europe is whether it is a temporary shot-in-arm which will have to be repeated every so often to keep the patient alive or whether it will really put Europe back on its feet. In brief, the question is, will Communism take over shortly after we pull the Marshall Plan props out from under Europe?
 Italy may se a good laboratory in which ro answer this question, partly because we have poured American money into Italy ever since the end of World War II. partly because the Italian people are reasonably well disposed toward the United States and partly be- cause Communism is taking a lick ing here for which the Marshall Plan is to a considerable degree responsible.
 Basically the question of whether Italy or any other Marshall Plan country can carry on after we leave hoils down to whether they can successfully institute internal re- forms sufficient to combat Com munism. balance their budgets and muster the courage to tax.
