In examining these figures, Commissioner Earl Nc
sCrath says entire decline cannot be blamed the
military situation He points to the low birth rate in this
country in the 930s and says this birth would have
caused decrease in registration at this time, even With
out the Korean conflict Another for the decline
in registration the July 1851 cutoff date for enter
ing courses under the G. L. Bill of Rights applied 10y
the Veterans Administration.

National and Capital celebri-
ties abounded, and nationally
known artists performed, at the
Morris Cafritzes' annual Easter
at home yesterday. They gave
a knockout party that started
at 6 in the afternoon and was
still going strong on two floors
at 10:30 last evening.
The Vice President and Mrs.
Barkley were there. the Weep
saying that since his eye opera
tion he can now see through
wood. They arrived around z
o'clock to find their hosts re-
ceiving at the foot of the steps
of their gaily crowded drawing
room. Gwen Cafritz had on an
ice blue silk organza dinner
dress with a wide bateau neck
line and delicate net yoke of the
same ice blue. 1t was topped by
the radiant icy brilliance of her
Single-strand choker of huge
rosecut diamonds.
Happy Easter" resounded in
every room. The dampening ef-
feet of the evening-long drizzle
was apparent on the outside
only. Inside there was the
cheerful confusion of constant
greetings, handshaking with
some ambassadorial handkiss-
ing thrown i'm, laughter, talk
ing, music and milling around.
There were the Secretary OF
the Interior and Mrs. Chapman,
the Secretary of the Navy and
Mrs. Dan Kimball, the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture and Mrs.
Charles Brannan, the Joseph E.
Davies-she in a lovely gray
blue costume; Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Fleming, the Charles
Carroll Glovers, the Drew Pear
sons, and Nine. Erkin in a CLAM
orous black outfit that set off
her peaches and cream COM
plexion framed in her dark
locks. Her husband, the Turk
ish Ambassador, was home
working, she said.
More than one person broached
the subject to the Vice Presi-
dent of his candidacy for the
presidential nomination. But
the Weep is never caught fiat
footed. "Are you going to make
an announcement soon?" Bill
Higgins asked him. "Why, I
announced my marriage two
years ago." he retorted with his
usual quickness.
Former Attorney General
Francis Biddle was talking
about his new book. "The Fear
of Freedom" to Judge Thur
man Arnold. The introduction
by the Old Curmudgeon, the
late Harold L. Ickes, Mr.. Bid
die said, was so bombastic that
parts of it had to be cut.
Russell Nype. the ingenue
star of "Call Me Madam" flew
down from New York for the
Cafritz party and flew back
today. He arrived with the
Arthur Gardner, jr.'S and be-
fore long good-naturedly agreed
to burst into song. He tossed
off with ease and enthusiasm
a repertoire of hit tunes from
the show. He'll be back on
the local scene on May 4 when
the musical comedy based on
the life Of Perle Mesta opens
at the National Theater pre-
