CoIorfuI Table Demands Vorietyof Items
By Gladys Miller

It is hard to kill a friendly
spirit even when lives become
troubled with the minutiae of daily
living and food bills mount un-
conscionably.
Many group of women in our
country, who meet to sew, play
bridge, or serve on committees,
are substituting the dessert and
beverage idea for the more costly
and time consuming lunch. dinner
or late tea that spoils the family
dinner hour.
These dessert beverage oc-
casions offer opportunity to enter
tain attractively and graciously
The table may be set with your
priced wedding presents, those
one-of-a-kind pieces you have in
herited from your family or have
received as gifts.
The table can be colorful and
intriguing. What is more, If you
take inventory and think of who
made the linen and silver you are
using. you may find your table
represents the United Nations.
It is important that we know
more about the people Of other
countries. their culture, their
abilities in design and craftsman
ship and love Of beauty.
It is also stimulating to COM
bine objects which relate their
heritage from the past and those
which reflect the craftsmanship of
our time.
All Of these factors were con-
sclously or unconsciously con-
sidered when the dessert-beverage
table illustrated today was set.
The double pedestal mahogany
table was covered with a cloth
that is truly Goth century. It is
pale mauve pink with bands of
silver threads. It has texture and
is made Of rayon and lurex. The
appearance Is q far different one
than If the traditional white linen
had been used.
Tea is served from a silver lus-I
ter teapot imported from England.
The teacups are of West Coast
pottery in black plum and the
tea plates are from q famous bird
series. The fiat silver is contem-
porary In design.
The color scheme. the arrange
ment and the objects themselves
are not only attractive and pleas
ing to look at, but provide the

The snowballing panty raids
spread across the Nation from
Maine to California today despite
efforts by some co-eds. police and
college authorities to stymie them.
Many of the latest forays were
all in fun but others wound up
in violence.
The worst brawl last night was
at the University of Oklahoma
where a demonstration labeled a
''lust for lace" ended in an egg
tossing riot.
And at the University Of Geor-
|gia students were routed by tear
gas and bombs after hurting rocks
and eggs at police patrol cars.
The strange fad, in which COL
lege boys invade women's dormi-
tories and Sororities in search Of
undergarments, began several
weeks ago but became widespread
this week.
40 Schools Affected.
Since Sunday undie sorties have
occurred at more than 40 schools,
many of them large universities.
In the Oklahoma wrangle at
Norman last night, about 1000
male students made off with
lingerie loot from Is women's
dormitories.
The crowd got out of hand and
local officers called on State troop
ers and police from three nearby
towns for help. The panty-pilfer-
ing lark turned into an egg-throw-
ing battle after officers tried per-
suasion. tear gas and finally high
pressure hoses.
Twelve students were arrested.
DR.. George L. Cross, Oklahoma
president, called it a disgrace,
adding:
II was fearful after reading of
such incidents at other colleges
but kept hoping our students were
"a little more stable, a little more
sophisticated. I'm deeply
ashamed of what happened"

A. Hannah of Michigan State.

Edwards Indorses
Byrd's Candidacy and
Praises His Record
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, May 22.-Horace
H. Edwards. defeated guberna-
torial candidate three years ago,
has come out of his political re-
tirement to indorse Senator Byrd
for another term in Office.
Mr.. Edwards, who was State
Democratic Party chairman from
1910 to 1948. said last night that
"it doesn't make sense to turn
out of Office public servant of
SO years experience.
In a radio address here Mr..
Edwards said more men of Sena-
tor Byrd's rugged Americanism"
should be sent to Washington.
Boiling Lambeth. campaign
manager for Senator Byrd's SEN
atorial primary opponent, Francis
Pickens Miller. belittled the effect
of Mr.. Edwards announcement.
Calls It Meaningless"
From q practical political point
Of view, the Endorsement by Horace
Edwards of Senator Byrd Is rela-
lively meaningless" Mr.. Lambeth
said, because a large majority Of
his 1949 supporters are now ac-
lively behind Col. Miller"
Mr.. Lambeth also said that sit
was not a very dignified sight to
see Horace Edwards crawling back
to the Byrd machine. He now
has no political future in the Byrd
machine or out of it."
Mr.. Edwards admitted that he
had not always "seen eye to eye"
with Senator Byrd. But he added
that never to my knowledge has
his character. his integrity and his
intellectual honesty been subjected
to attack"
Meanwhile, Mr.. Miller stopped
by his newly-opened state head
quarters in Richmond and issued
a statement sattacking Senator
Byrd's refusal to debate with him.
The Senator has said the press of
official duties won't allow him the
time.
Manufs cturer's Interests.
Mr.. Miller said that "Virginians
now realize that though the Sena-
tor regards the issues which con-
Germ them most as pif1ling, he
takes quite seriously the interests
of the National Association of
Manufacturers and the American
Cotton Manufacturers Institute
before whom he is always willing
to speak"
Earlier in the day. Mr.. Miller
called for continuation of the ma
tional soil conservation program
He said at Charlottesville that ef-
f1cient and productive farms
were essential to America.
Tonight, he will deliver a major
campaign speech at Mary Bald
win College at Staunton. His
topic will be "Can America Live
in Peace?"

Thomas s. Jackson, chairman Of
the Board of Education, urged
council members to disregard spe-
cific area bond issues in calculat-
ing the county's bonded indebted
ness. He referred to those for
parking lots at Silver Spring and
Wheaton. The county indebted
ness is limited by law to 10 per
cent of the aSseSsable tax base.
It was suggested from the floor
that a greatly increased tax rate
could raise the extra school funds.
Council member George F. Nesbitt
said that had been considered. but
it was feared many individual land
owners could not meet a drastic
increase.

Council, Tuesday by County Man.

for a 19-cent increase in the pres

Bills 13 and IA would authorize
bond issues to provide off street
parking lots in the business dis
tricts of Silver Spring and
Wheaton. Limit for the Silver
Spring issue would be set at $780,
900 and Wheaton at 100000
Business and civic groups of both
areas sent delegations to support
the bills. There was no opposi-
|tion.
Resolution 3 calling for a ref
|erendum in November would pro-
pose raising the salaries of
council members from $1,000 a
year OF $4,000, beginning Janu-

A representative of the Mont
gomery County Charter Commit
tee told the council such change
would be in accord with the orig
linal intent of the charter.
Bill No. 7. a proposal to extend
the boundaries of the Montgomery
County suburban district came
up for a second hearing after the
first hearing of May IL went ur-
attended. The boundary extension
would impose a special suburban
area tax of Is cents per 500 as

posed boundaries would include

that boundaries should follow the
