By Betty Beole

A battle of political wits and
ideas will be staged between two
Senators at a certain affair next
Friday. The Women's National
Press Club will install its new Of
ficers at what should be about
as explosive a party as we are
wont to see even around here.
Able Josephine Ripley OF the
Christian Science Monitor will for
mally take up the press clubs
presidential gavel at an installa-
ton luncheon at the Statler July
6, when a debate will be staged
by Senators Kenneth Wherry and
Robert Kerr. The dramatic, smil-
ing Republican whip from Ne
braska and the big. hard-hitting
Gilman from Oklahoma will be
the star feature Of the luncheon IN
a debate entitled "The Issues OF
1882 Club members will take
politicoes by the dozens to hear
the two lawmakers crate in the
picturesque language neither Is
afraid to use.
The prospects are further sea-
soned by the fact that Senator
Wherry called Senator Kerr "the
big wind that comes from Okla
homa" following the latter's pro-
administration speech the day
after Gen. MacArthur's dismissal
And Senator Kerr retaliated by
saving that the Republicans were
lin "just one whirling. roaring
Wherry-go-round," and had they
forgotten the prophetic song
I"The Wherry- -Go-Round Broke
Down" The luncheon ought to 'b'
a gay one.

Committee for Holiday Dances
Makes Debut at Boot Cruise

The Committee for Holiday
Dances new group bent on a
project of coupling fun with good
works-last night inaugurated the
first in what they hope viii be a
series of parties benef1ting local
charities.
The committees debut took the
form of q dance and cruise aboard
the s. s. Bear Mountain, worthy
vessel familiar to Junior Leaguers
from past moonlight cruises. And
the beneflting institution was Chill
dren's Hospital and its compile
ton fund.
Judging from the success Of last
nights venture Children's Hospi-
tai should be completed in no time
and hundreds of Washington
young people will have more of
such parties to add spice to the
coming months.
Youthful Committee
The idea that youth is irrespon-
sible is refuted by one look at the
list of party sponsors. Each men,
ber of the group who initiated the
gala benefit is young-ages rang
ing from early 20s to early Sos
and the more than 400 subscribers
to last nights cruise were all
members of the younger set.
Brains behind the party were
M. F. and Happy Allen, the
George Breeds, Louis and Nancy
d'Autremont, Frenchy and Wilson
Prichett, jr.. the C. r. Hurts. the
Misses Carlotta Pardini and Patty
Prochnik, Roz and Edes Talman
Freddy and Sarah Jane Finken-
staedt and Harry Hoskinson. jr.
And the brains also got into
the Drawn department yesterday
afternoon when many of then
volunteered to board the Bear
Mountain and dress it up for the
outing.

Result of a day In the hot sun
for these committee volunteers
was that the venerable craft atI
sailing time was festooned from
bow to stern with bright crepe |
paper. gaily bouncing balloons
and huge tissue paper balls re-
sembling Japanese lanterns.
Occasion for Porties
Although casting-off time was
early-8:30-most Of the cruisers
had been to q party ahead OF
time and they arrived in groups
promptly laying claim to the many
little tables that dotted the decks
and surrounded the dance floor.
Charlie Bartlett was host to a
group at cocktails while the Phil
Clarkes entertained friends at the
same type Of party. Ginny and
Jim Sullivan also had friends in
for a light supper in their charm
ling Thirty-first street home.
Mostly the pre-sail entertain
ing was limited to cocktail get
togethers, however. for an ample
buffet supper vas later served on
the boat with chicken salad. po-I
tato chips. olives, pickles and all
the rest.
Costume for the affair was
black tie and this specification
resulted in delicate rainbow Of
color In women's dress against
abundant white dinner jackets.
From the Potomac shores the ex-
cursion boat appeared reminis-
cent Of the by-gone days o. river
boats and hoop skirts.
On Hand for the Fun
Here's q sampling Of who was
there just to prove that youth
was in control.
Lizette and Pierre Beauregard
were on board as well as Ted
and Cynthia Ayers, the Frank
Balsleys. recently returned to
i the Washington scene; John and
Ann Keller, Jim Hurd, Les and
Jean Douglas, Louis and Fran
cine McCracken. newly joined
the ranks of the landed gentry
with a house in Arlington: the
Hiram Hicks, Calvin Cobb, Jane
and Dick West, Benair and Lige
Titus and the Bob Whiteleys.
M. F. Allen was a popular fig
ure on the dance floor, easy to
spot in her bouffant white dress,
and the lovely Peggy Godfrey in
straplesS black marquisette was
the cynosure of many eyes.
Nancy Thomas pale pink dress
lsparkled with silver brilliants and
blond Nancy d'Autremont also
chose pale pink-her's organdy.
Music was by Erwin Howard
Devron and it attracted Abby and
Jack Northrop to the dance floor
often where they were apt to find
the Hugh Smiths, Bucky Block,
Dean and Fredericka Lewis, down
from Yale Law School and en-.
sconSed In a Georgetown mouse for
the summer; fanny Trowbridge
Courts and Peggy Oulahan and
the Gene Colts.
The orchestra leader put down
his baton and took up his popular
accordion to serenade from table

hour.
Olive Watson got a selection

CIVIL DEFENSE:
Truman Signs Bill

President Truman signed the
civilian defense bill enacted in the
closing days of the last congress
which provides a defense program
estimated to cost about $780, 0O,-
900.
The measure directs the federal
governments to provide leadership
to the states and communities in
developing arrangements to protect
civilian life and property in the
country's 10 critical target areas
against possible enemy attack by
atomic bombs, biological or bac-
tefiological warfare or any other
technique.
The bill requires states to match
federal funds provided for air raid
constructions. It was on this point
that the bill received some criti-
cis0.
Governor Dewey of New York, for
Instance, said his state simply could
not find the SPAS, 1000. 900 indicated
as its need.
Civilian defense is the one phase
Of about war in which this country
lags. Britain has added to bomb
shelters built during World War II
and has an extensive training pro-
gram for rescue in the event of
atomic attack.

Any casserole takes on an ele-
giant look and flavor when you re-
place the humble buttered bread
crumbs with cooked, drained
noodles fried in a bit of butter or
drippings until just crisp.
Corn and canned tomatoes placed
in pimientoe halves or green pep
pers are choice, but budget-wise
accompaniment to steak dinner.
Do something different with
creamed salmon: used canned as
paragus tips as the vegetable to
add green to its rosy red, and serve
on toasted English mullins.

KOREA:
Evacuation Inevitable

Bitter battles ragged in Korea as
United Nations forces continued
their retreat toward Pusan and
what seemed inevitable evacuation
of that war-torn country.
And while the battles ragged in
Korea, bitter debate continued in
Washington as to whether or not
U.N. forces should evacuate the
peninsula. There we're rumors in
military circles, too, that the US.
had decided on stand in Korea.
To the average man in the Unit
ed States, to the people in the home
towns of America, who are any,
thing but defeatists. the Washing
ton debates seemed ironic The
average American was counting
the odds, estimated now at five to
one and which the chinese can in
crease at will. In recent weeks there
has b e n considerable confusion
and number of contradictions as
to the actual number of Chinese
troops thrown against the U N.
forces.
10 many the question now seemed
to be whether or not U.N. troops
could successfully withdraw to the
Pusan beachhead and carry out an
evacuation. The situation was de-
scribed like this: Now it's a ques-
ton of saving face or saving our
hides - and we'd better save our
hides. Well need them in the future
against the Communists.
The United States army in Korea
is the only one this nation has at
present and it must form the core
of the new army we have dedicated
ourselves to building in an effort
to preserve our democratic way of
life. Attempting to hold in Korea
would risk this army-too great a
risk in the opinion of many observ-
ers.
Whatever the decision, one thing
the average American will tell the
world: Man-for-man, the North Ko-
rean an Chinese soldier is no
match for well trained American
soldier. And any victory in Korea
will cost the North Koreans and
Chinese dearly.

POLITICS.:
Matter of Tradition

Critics of President Truman's
foreign policy, led by Sen. Robert
Taft of Ohio, charged the President
violated the laws and the consti-
tuition of the United States" by
sending troops to Korea and Europe
without congressional approval
In the last few weeks the thunder
of debate on the subject has rolled
through the halls of congress. 1t is
not, however, a new theme.
The issue of the Presidents right
to send troops to carry out obliga-
tons of the country arose in the
administrations of Washington, John
Adams. jefferson, Jackson, Tyler,
Polk, Lincoln, Grant, Mckinley,
Taft, Wilson and the late Franklin
Roosevelt.
And in every case the issue was
settled in favor of the President,
namely, that it is his sworn duty
to carry out the obligations of the
United States.
In this particular case, when the
senate ratified the North Atlantic
treaty it made the obligations of
that treaty law, binding on the
President of the United States no
matter who he might be. Certain
articles of the treaty bind the North
Atlantic nations to united effort to
maintain the security of the North
Atlantic area, including the use of
armed force if necessary.
1t is these articles of the treaty
that the President is unfolding in
sending troops to Europe. If the
congress should deny the President
the right to use troops or arms
abroad, then certain articles of the
treaty become meaningless.
In the few cases where similar
questions have reached the Supreme
Court, the President has been up
held in his action. 1t would seem
that Senator Taft's attack, there
fore, can not succeed in the face OF
tradition.

CROPS:
Prospects Not Bright

The agriculture department re-
ported 1851 crop prospects not so
bright as they might be for attain
ing the governments goal of a
record harvest.
Shortages of soil moisture in i'm
portant southwestern wheat areas,
prospects of less irrigation water
from SHOWS, freeze damage to fall
soWn grain crops in the south, loss
of farm labor to the armed serv-
ices and industry, and tn e pros
poets of shortages of repair parts
for farm machinery were listed as
having an effect on production.
The farmers of the nation face a
production quota greater than any
ever demanded in this country. In
creased grain production is needed
to rebuild SURPRISES which have
dWindled in the last two years. In
addition to rebuilding SURPRISES,
the United States must again as
sumo the responsibility of feeding
much OF the world if open conflict
breaks out between the east and
west.

sibly some veterans, would have to
be drafted to meet the expanded
quota.
Meanwhile, the FBI reported it
had investigated nearly 5000 cases
of alleged violations of the draft law
during the last six months. The bu-
reau was repeatedly receiving more
than 1900 such cases for inquiry

in cooperatives. This was more than
four times the total of such liquid
assets held by farmers at the start
Of 1910.
Aggregate farm debt at the be-
ginning Of 1851 was estimated at
just under $l3 billion, as against
$40 billion on January l, 1910. All Of
this increase has been in the non.
real estate category.

TAXES:
Era Of Austerity

President Truman drew gaSpS
from Wall street in his message to
congress in which he asked an in
crease in taxes of more" than So
billion a year and outlined a de-
tense program totaling $40 billion.
He also called for broader wage
price controls, one million more
men and women in the armed
forces within a few months, and
four million more in defense produc-
ton by the end of 1851.
But what made the little man
want to crawl into a hole was the
Presidents tax program. The brunt
Of that increase would fall on the
middle-to-lower income taxpayer.
Some of Mr.. Humans critics
said his program would mean an
era of austerity for the American
people. Some said they thought the
President was "hystericaI and
others said he had thrown the
American standard of living out the
window.
Although the nation was shocked
by the Presidents message, Amer
leans in every walk of life were be-
ginning to understand the scope of
the program we have undertaken.
Most people realized to carry out
that program a great increase in
taxes would be necessary-possibly
the highest in United States history.
It became increasingly clear, too,
that such items as automobiles,
electric refrigerators, va uu m
cleaners, television and radio sets
will not be available in such abund-
ance to the American public as in
recent years. Production of these
Items may be cut by one-third to
well over one-haf before the year
Is ever.
By the end of 1851 the United
States will be devoting about 10
per cent of its national output to
defense. At the peak of World War
II about As per cent of the nations
output was for defense.
