A brand-new party committee
has been organized in Wash
ington to help promote theater
here. Concert artists have long
been guaranteed a social gath
ering in their honor following
performance. It's simply been
a must. You can't let guests
in town play their best for you
and leave them to have supper
alone. Some one on the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra
Committee has always come
across with a party after an
important concert and the re-
suit has been to stimulate con-
cert attendance and pep up in
terest in general.
Now the same thing will be
done for the stars of the legiti-
mate stage. A long time friend
of Richard Aldrich and Meyers,
Mrs. Neil Phillips agreed to be
their entertainment chairman
and organize a committee to
give the stage stars at least one
party to their taste in Wash
ington. {.
Her list is a prominent ONE
Mrs. Dwight Davis, who gave
the first party for Ethel Mer-
man which Secretary of State
Acheson attended; Mrs. Nicho-
las Longworth. Mrs. Frank
Wisner. who will be hostess to
the "Porgy and Bess" leads;
Mrs. Tom Finletter, Mrs. George
Garrett, Mrs. Edward Burling,
jr,, Mrs. Arthur Fowler, Mrs.
Robert Low Bacon, Mrs. Philip
Graham. Mrs. Curt Schiffeler
and Mrs. Arthur Krock. Grace
and Neil Phillips gave the Sec
ond party for Carol Charming.
OF course. everybody wants to
entertain the big stars who
always know people here, but
some OF the new young ones
might not have any friends on
the local scene. Big or little,
they'll be consulted as to the
people and kind Of party they
want, and probably get it
whether supper for four or a
reception for q hundred.

House Hearings Set
Wednesday on Korea
Veterans Benefits
BY the Asseeiused Press

The House Veterans Affair."
Committee will open hearing
Wednesday on bills designed tt
give veterans of the Korean con.
f1ict education and training bene'
fits similar to those given Worlc
War II servicemen.
Several bills dealing with veter'
ans education and training havt
been referred to the COMMITTEES
headed by Representative Rankin
Democrat Of Mississippi.
Some would give Korean vet.
Ierans the same benefits as those
received by wartime servicemen
Many, however. contain restric.
tionS designed to reduce abuses
uncovered last year by special
House committee.
Representative Evins. Democrat
|of Tennessee, a member of both
the Veterans Affairs Committee
and the special committee, said
yesterday he favors writing q
completely new bill to cover edu-
cational and training benefits foi
Korean veterans.
Mr. Evins said education and
training of World War Ii veterans
cost more than $12 billion.
1T is safe to say" he declared
"that this sum is substantially
larger than was necessary because
of bad administration by the Vet
erans Administration and abuses
by operators of certain private
schools which trained veterans. j.
Whatever bill the committee
writes, / am sure, will make i'm
possible a repetition of such
abuses and will render greater
benefits at less cost to the tax
payers"

EXPERIENCE.
Mrs. E. R.. Falls Church.

UNITS. T.. ~, FGLLS CnNfchJ
A short while ago q lady was
requesting information regard
ing moving to the country
whether septic tanks were salts
factory. etc.
I wish to pass on the expert
ence a relative of mine has had
regarding this. I think many
would-be land purchasers might
be interested.
In certain sections of Fair
fax County, lying close to the
surface is clay which does not
readily absorb water. Accord
ing to regulations adapted not
long ago, before a building
permit can be issued for a new
house with a septic tank, the
Health Department must per-
form a 'percalation test" This
test consists of pouring 6 inches
Of water in three holes dug to
a depth Of 80 inches. If the
water does not seep out Of the
holes at the rate required, the
permit for a septic tank is re-
fused.
The only alternative offered
is that of building an outside
bath! The amount of land
you may have makes no differ
ence. AS this law seems to be
extremely rigid, my advice
would be to perform this test
on any land you might be con-
sidering buying and make GER
tain the soil will absorb the
water or otherwise you will find
it useless for building purposes
and your money wasted. The
Health Department at the
county seat can doubtless give
additional information.

would be extremely interested
in this experience. 1t might
save many families from a
