Not Flying Saucers But New Aircraft
 Will Be Seen Soon
By ELTON C. FAY

WASHINGTON, R-The Air Force, busy for seven years trying to scotch legends about flying saucers, wants the public to know those weird looking aircraft which folks will see soon won't really be saucers. They just look and act like them.
 The Air Force last night issued what has become sort of annual report on the flying saucer situa- ton, saying again it has found no evidence of flying saucers.
 But this time it attached to the new and voluminous (316-page) report a statement by Air Secre- tary Donald A. Quarles. It said some aircraft of novel form are coming along but there will be nothing supernatural or mysteri- ous" about them.
 One will be the vertical-rising, Empowered experimental plane built by Ryan Aeronautical Corp. of San Diego. Quarles said the craft will fly "in a matter of days"
 The plane described as the first Empowered vertical-rising plane, now is at Edwards AFB, Calif., the test center for jet aircraft. The Navy already has flown a similar aircraft, the Convair BTO, but this is powered with con ventional propeller. Another strange plane, still in design stage, is being developed by the Canadian firm of Avro, Ltd., which has a contract with the US. Air Force This design, Quarles said, "could result in disc-shaped aircraft somewhat similar to the popular concept of flying saucer"
 AVRO officials have insisted their product isn't flying saucer. Gas exhausted through a system of ducts would spin an outer rim of the disc to propel the aircraft vertically into the air.
 The gas blast then would be diverted from the disk and to the rear to provide forward thrust, like any jet plane.

What's the most popular
after-the-dance supper menu
with the 1856 debutante?
You'd be surprised! Top
ranking favorite for the sup
pers served from midnight on
is simple in the extreme {.
scrambled eggs with bacon.
ham and sausages. italian spa
ghetti, beef Stroganoff, turkey
tetrazzini, and chow mein are
other favorites with this
younger set, a poll Of hotel and
club managers revealed.
Doughnuts, one maitre d.
said, 60 like wild fire. Years
ago sweets were always in
cluded on any menu. then they
went out Of favor, but now
the pendulum is swinging in
the other direction.
For years the pastry chef of
one Of the leading private clubs
never made a single cake for
debutante parties. Lat ely
they're in demand again. The
small filled cakes, bite
size angel food cakes filled with
chocolate whipped cream, petit
tours. and Of course. the peren-
NAL favorite---ice crearn-are
the ones most frequently re-
quested. Even ut their cock
tail parties. sweets are popular
with the younger generation.
Healthy Appetitss
Managers Of both the pri-
vete clubs and hotels say with
0 smile-"they eat" Unlike
their elders who are more
calorie conscious. the younger
set has healthy appetites and
believes in indulging itself.
With the regular dancing
groups, members are watching
their figures and you never
can tell chow their appetites
will be-"
Sometimes q lot Of food is
left over, at other times not
o crumb. Not 80 with the
coming-out parties the
guests eat. One manager
gave this az . possible reason
for the amount Of food con-
sumed ut euch Affairs. Usu-
ally there's . long stag line
when the boys can't ind

to the buffet.
Even for the dinners that
precede the dance. menus are
not too elaborate. with exotic
food the exception rather than
the rule. The menu usually is
comprised of four to five
courses, including fruit cup.
soup, entree, salad and dessert.
Managers make q special effort
to vary the meat course, since
so many of the guests 60 to the
same parties.
While decorations for the
ballroom itself may be quite
ornate, the supper table II kept
relatively simple one love-
ly centerpiece 1lanked with tail

again, the tray Of sweets crops
up. It's the trend, say food
purveyors.
AS for debutante luncheons,
all agree they are getting
fewer and fewer. The girls
must catch up on their beauty

hence the gradual disappear
ance of the midday functions.

to be toward group parties as
against the individual bow to

But now, not so many. The

complaining because this par

has changed. Their Kitchens

wedding receptions, private
