since the wedding is to be small
and the guests necessarily limited,
would it be proper to ask the
groom's friends to this dinner if
they are not invited to the we'd
ding? co Also, would it be proper
to ask each of them to contribute
a certain amount in order to buy
a present for the groom, to be
presented to him at the bachelor
dinner?
Answer: If the wedding is SO
small as not to include his most
intimate friends. I think a bach
elor dinner is a little out of order.
II they were not invited to the
wedding they certainly wouldn't
be invited to the dinner!

place a terrace built. Where the
Esplanade had steps into the
garden, the terrace has a ramp.
Guests walked through the
charming patio with it's fountain
and interesting tropical trees and
birds, the library and the gallery
onto the terrace. Here chairs were
arranged facing the pool and the

Emily Post Advises

A letter today says: "How can
one tactfully refuse to lend some
one their cosmetics? It seems un-
believable that any one would
ask to borrow anything so per-
sonal. but this actually happened
to me the other evening. My
husband and were dining out
with two other couples and after
dinner the two women and I went
into the lounge to freShen our
makeup. One of the women asked
Iif she could borrow my lipstick
I was so taken back ] didn't know
what to say and reluctantly
handed it over to her. I personally
have never encountered this be-
fore and I would like to know
what one does when faced with
a situation of this kind"
Answer very lightly but definite
ly: Sorry! but that's one thing
I never lend" If your impulse is
to let her use it, you could very
well have wiped it off before
putting the top on the case. If you
find this to be a habit of hers,
the real answer would be to carry
an extra for the borrowers which
you yourself never use.

expected Monday. but the tenn
perature will climb back into the

Afternoon thunderstorms and
maybe rain at night over the week

Few Japanese Mark
Surrender Date as
Koreans Celebrate
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, Aug. 15.-Most Jap
anese took little public note that
their government surrendered to
the Allies seven years ago today,
ending World War II. But
Koreans in Japan marked the day
with rallies.
National rural police head
quarters said at least ISL South
and North Korean rallies were
scheduled throughout Japan to-
day and tonight. For Koreans the
end of the war meant freedom
from 40 years of rule by Japan.
A wartime chief cabinet secre-
tary, HisatSune Sekomizu, told a
Kyodo News Agency reporter the
amount of economic aid the Unit
ed States gave Japan during the
occupation surprised him. But
he added, the occupation brought
too much political intervention.
Japan became independent again
last April 20. A peace treaty was
signed in San Francisco last Sep
tember by Japan and So nations.

Paper Promises

u. N. Told We Insist
On Right to Use 1t
Pending Strict Ban
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Aug.
15.-The United States warned to-
day that it reserved the right to
use the A-bomb and germ warfare
to suppress aggression until such
weapons are eliminated by an
iron-clad system of international
safeguards.
The warning was made by
United State Delegate Benjamin
w. Cohen before the United Ma
tions Disarmament Commission
where Russia has repeatedly de-
manded that the U. N. ban atomic
weapons and germ warfare.
Mr.. Cohen told Soviet Delegate
Jacob A. Malik that the United
States would never accept a mere
paper declaration prohibiting the
use of these weapons.
Mr.. Cohen said: 1--WE are issuing
no ultimatumS. We are making
no threats"
He went on to say that, until
there is an effective international
system of inspection to make sure
agreements are not being violated,
the United States does not intend
Ito invite aggression by inform
ing, or committing ourselves to.
Would-be aggreSsors and charter
breakers that we will not use cer-
tain weapons to suppress aggres-
slon."
ITO do so in exchange for mere
paper promises would be to give
Would-be aggreSsors their own
choice of weapons" he said. For
certainly there is no assurance
that aggressors. which break their
charter obligations, not to 90 to
war, will keep their paper prom
iseS not to fight with certain
weapons if they have them and
need them to achieve their evil
designs"

The era of the 55-cent steak
dinner at military stations for Of
flcers and civilians soon may end.
The Defense Department, in
compliance with congressional
directive, now is making a survey
of such dining places preparatory
to ordering an increase in price
to cover actual food costs and op-
Grating expenses. Enlised person.
|nel's food is not involved.
Here's an example OF a recent
meal costing SIS cents for officers
and civilians at the Anacostia
Naval Receiving Station general
ness:
Grilled T-bone steak and gravy,
baked potatoes. steamed kale with
bacon, corn on the cob, raw bar
|salad-cole slaw, pound cake, ice
cream. hot rolls and butter and
choice of milk or iced tea.
Use of Funds Barred.
Congress barred the use of ap-
propriated funds for operation
of So-called open" or general"
messes at which meals are sold
to officers and civilians except
under regulations approved by the
Secretary of Defense. The regu-
lations, a provision of the military
appropriations act stated, shall
Except under unusual or extra
ordinary circumstances establish
rates sufficient to provide
reimbursement of operating ex-
penses and food costs to the ap-
preparation concerned :"
Last years appropriation act
also carried the same provision
but the Secretary never did get
around to issuing any regulations.
Officials explained this was held
up pending congressional action
on the military pay increase,
which came late in the session
and carried increased subsistence
payments for officers.
Open or general messes are OPP
Grated at virtually all Army, Navy,
Air Force and Marine Corps in
stallations. Commanding officers
have operated them pretty much
as they saw fit. The organized or
closed messes financed principally
from non-appropriated funds are
not involved.
Complicated Problem.
Officials said today the problem
of regulating the eating places
was a complicated one. It involves
the feeding Of officers and civili-
ans abroad. for instance, at al
most the same messeS provided
enlisted men but for which the
officers and civilians pay from
their subsistence allowances or out
of their pockets at the time.

Volcano Born in Mexico
q Years AGO Is Dead
By the Associated Press

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 15.-The
director of Mexico's Geological
Institute said yesterday the
Paricutin volcano is dead at the
age of 9l2 years.
The volcano started as a smok-
ing crack in the earth in Micoa-
can state in February, 1943. ano
since then has built up an 1900.
foot cone.
by all geological standards,
said Teodoro Flores, "the volcano
is dead. But it must be remem.
bered that geology is not an exact
science.
"All activity in the crater
ended March 4 and all the evi.
dence is that it will not become
active again. However, we have
been able to see the birth, growth
and death of a volcano and that is
something which may not happen
again for centuries"

asked for data on their operating
costs in an effort to reach a de-
Icision. Little or no change may
come in the combat areas but at
installations such as those in the
District area an increase in prices
appears inevitable.
Here are a few other sample
menus:
Fort Belpir, dinner, As cents !:
Roast beef with brown gravy,
parsley potatoes, corn on the cob,
mixed vegetable salad with French
dressing, bread and butter or oleo-
margarine. rice pudding and iced
tea. f.

pan gravy. fried apples. snow
faxed potatoes, steamed broccoli
1buttered asparagus tips. garden
salad with thousand island dress
ing, peach pie. bread and butter
milk or iced orangeade.
Grilled Steaks at As Cents.
Fort Belvoir's Ascent supper
Grilled steaks with vegetable
gravy. mashed potatoes, spinach
with sliced hard-cooked eggs, rel
ish tray. bread and butter or oleo-
margarine, peach cobbler, limeade
The 30-cent Fort Belvoir break
fast menu included chilled apple
sauce, assorted dry cereal, fresh
milk, eggs to order, fried ham, hot
toast. butter or oleomargarine,
Jelly. coffee.
The Naval Receiving Station for
80 cents offered this breakfast:
Chilled figs, crisp cornf1akeS, fresh
milk, corn fritters, Boston baked
beans, grilled pork sausage, pre-
pared syrup, hot bran mullins,
bread, butter, jam and coffee.
The cost per day per officer or
icivilian employe at those installa-
tions and others, including the Air
Force, is running from $1.20 to
$1.95, according to the Pentagon.
A fiat figure applying to all bases
has been proposed, The highest
such proposal was for SITS.
Officers now receive $47.88 per
month for subsistence. The old
rate, before the pay hike, was $42.
A final. decision will be held up
pending the visits of investigators
to a sufficient number of the bases
to get an idea of the operation.
