The number will depend on
how many you can accom-
odate in the space available;
the type of service you have
in mind buffet, Sit-down
dinner, dessert and coffee,
or cocktails. For the beginner,
it's wiser to keep the guest
list modest and the food sim
pie but good. It's much better
to serve a few dishes well
than to over-reach yourself
and serve a hodgepodge Of
food poorly prepared and.
poorly handled.
Cords Sove Time
Now for the invitations.
For a small group. use the
telephone. However, If your
guest list Is over 10, you can
save yourself time by sending
out cards giving time. date
and place. Be sure to include
the address if you've moved
into a new home. It's q
thoughtful gesture to include
directions for firSt-time
guests. In fact, many host
esSes now include small
mimeographed road maps
which are q great help with
our fast-growing suburban
areas. Another time saver for
you: Limit acceptance calls
by jotting down in the left
hand corner "RSVP Re
grets Only"
This brings US up to the
most important decision OF
all. What shall ! serve?
And here is where the reliable
paper and pencil are indis-
pensable.
Write down the menu. Then
go over it item by item and
make out your shopping list.
How much you will need Of
this, how much Of that, what
staples have you on hand?

indulge.
Two kinds of bite-size
sandwiches, a couple Of dips
for crisp raw vegetables. with
an assortment Of chips and
crackers; perhaps some wee
meatballs in the chafing dish,
and salted nuts, are ample.
You can add a tray of small
candies or cookies for the
guests with a sweet tooth II

Whether it's a Sunday

in advance, right down to the

good point to remember for
the young hOmemaker who is
just beginning to test. her

What Kind?
The first step is to decide
on the kind of party you're
going to give. If you're a new
bride. you may want to limit
it to a neighborhood affair
and invite persons in for des-
sert and coffee. If you're feel
ing expansive, you may want
to enlarge on that and turn
it into a house-warming. with
cocktails and horS d'oeuvres
as the refreshments. Or, you
may prefer to keep your first

suggested several improvements
to Americas security posture:
The Strategic Air Command

adequate deterrent force in the

be built; limited war strength

other countries should be con-

9, Gen. Twining was shown
CIA estimates on the number
Of long-range missiles the So
Wet Union would have on
launchers, ready for use in the
future. The chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff said
neither he nor Defense Secre-
tary Gates had seen the figures
before.
Views Charts
He indicated that he doubted
that the figures existed before.
Senator Symington, Democrat
of Missouri, insisted that they
had.
Senator Saltonstall, Repub-
lican of Massachusetts,, asked:
Gen. Twining, you are tell
ing us that until the time you
saw this chart, either in this
room or after it had been given
to this committee, that you had
never seen these calculations
that CIA had made?"
Il have seen some of them,
but not all of them" Gen
Twining replied.
1t is to clear up this CON
fusion" that the Space Com
mittee and Preparedness Sub
committee called Mr.. Dulles
today.
Gen. Twining's testimony
heavily censored for security
reasons - also contained this
question from Senator Salton-
stall:
Therefore, as chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, you
would say that the Joint Chiefs
of Staff made their calcula-
tions as to our proper defense
without knowing last years
launcher f1gures?" Senator
Saltonstall asked.
That is correct" Gen. Twin
ing replied. land the Secretary
of Defense also"
Crucial Point on Missile Gap
The testimony was released
last night.
Senator Symington said the
significance of the testimony is
that if Secretary Gates and
Gen. Twining had seen COM
parative figures on "launcher"
estimates, they would not have
told Congress that the missile
gap is narrowing from last
years 3 to l figure in Russia s
favor. The gap, according to
the estimates, actually is in
creasing.

mittee during his closed-door

THE Nation faces a cleal
and imminent threat to it,
survival" a self-styled con-
servative Republican told g
congressional group today. 1--WE
have not yet fully awakened tc
this very unpleasant fact" he
added.
The witness was Robert C.
Sprague, chairman of the board
of the Sprague Electric Co.,
chairman of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Boston and a
frequent consultant to the
Government on defense mat
ters. He testified before q
Senate subcommittee seeking
to find if the Government is
properly organized to meet the
cold war threat.
Mr.. Sprague and another
witness, James Phinney Bax-
ter III, president of Williams
College and also a defense pol
icy conSultant, said the Soviet
Union is expending Is per cent
of its gross national product on
defense and that its gross ma
tional product is increasing by
6.5 per cent a year.
U. S. Expending go
The United States, they said,
is eXpending 9 per cent of its
gross national product on de-
fense, and is holding defense
spending to a SAL billion CELL
ing.
Soviet defense efforts in
crease while American efforts
are static, the witnesses said.
Both said this country may
we'll have to increase taxes to
pay for survival.
THE Nation can and should
do much more to put its back
into the job of meeting the
threat" Mr.. Sprague said.
I'VE certainly have the re-
sources to do those things re-
qulred for our survival, pro-
yided we allocate them wisely. "
Reforms Suggested
