Many recipients of the big
white pasteboards think they

as the Ball and the Governors
Reception. Inaugural Commit
tee headquarters has been de-
luged with queries about just
what the invitation" means.
The general invitation is &C
companied by a calendar OF
events which lists ticket prices
for some Of the events and
notes that admission to others
is "by invitation" But many
people do not understand.
To handle the rush of in
coming invitation holders with
the wrong idea, the Official
Hospitality Committee is set
ting up information booths in
National Airport and other
points in the city.
Mrs. Michael P. Daniels, of
8 REGARD lane, Holm Hills, Va,
who is going to work in one of
the airport booths, says that
unofficial instructions TO the
hosteSseS are to break the news
gently to persons who mistake
their cards for real invitations.
Mrs. Katie Louchheim, who
is in charge of all the booths,
said her hostesses were just
supposed to be helpful in any

that the most helpful thing
the hostesses will be able to
say to some of the unprepared

The four were transformed
by the Laotians into fighter
bombers by adding racks for

meets with Chain Bridge and
the Capital beltway.
2. A similar median strip on
Route 95. the third route to

Express Lanes
The highway center strips
would be used at first for ex-
press bus lanes, and possibly
later for rapid rail right-of- :
way, according to the agency's
administrator. H. Holmes Vogel.
The proposed parking areas
would be set aside for COM
muters who would board the
express buses. Mr.. Vogel said.
He emphasized that a final
decision on fund requests to
Congress has not yet been
made, but indicated that the
three projects are the ones like
ly to be sought by the agency.
Mr.. Vogel said that a financ-
ing plan has yet to be worked
out. II Federal funds were pro-
vided, some arrangement would
have to be made with the States
on their highway construction
projects. he explained.
Board Is Meeting
The tentative proposals were
to come for discussion today
at a meeting of the Washing
ton Metropolitan Regional Con-
ferences' executive board. They
already have been indorsed by
