Council itself has been boosted to
its greatest strength in size and
prominence; and secondly, its uni
que experiment of requiring formal
attire for all in attendance.
1t will in all probability be the
largest formal affair ever pre-
sented by the Twin City Negro
community. Reports indicate that
formal rental firms, modistes and
evening apparel shops are doing
a bristling business.
The scene of this affair is the
combined main bathrooms of the
Pick-Nicollet Hotel.
In the meantime, because of the
many inquiries, Council of Clubs
officials in charge have seen fit to
announce again that the ball" is
a closed affair, strictly invitation
al to members of affiliated clubs
and their companion guests only.
A master list Of all affiliated
club members will be at the door.
They emphasized that possession
of an invitation would not gain
admission unless the name also ap-
peared on the master list.
The following persons, represent
ing some of the Councils most
active organizations, are: Co

lingo, and Hobart T. Mitchell, Jr.,

fashion. Why the revival? Are
we heading toward a bearded
society? Probably not. Women
usually deplore such hair-rais-
ing activities, and most en-
ployers would frown at a
bearded face across the con-
ference table.
A pity, say men with sensitive
skin or fast-growing whiSkerS.
But these days there's no need
to hide behind a beard-shav-
ing can be almost pleasant! Ac-
cording to the NoXzema Chem
ical Company, makers of a
new medicated instant shaving
lather, sensitive skin can be
protected and a shave can last
hours longer if the proper up
to-date technique is used.
First, wash face thoroughly
with soap and hot water. After
two minutes, rinse off with hot
water. Then lather with shaw
ing cream. Shave cheeks first,
leaving such difficult areas as
lips and chin to soak up addi-
tional moisture. Pull the skin
taut when shaving lips and
chin. Then rinse with hot wa
ter and shave off any remain
ing rough spots. Rinse again
with hot water to remove all
traces of lather.
The medicated instant shave
with extra menthol is an espe-
cially happy development for
the many men who find that
shaving close can irritate the
skin and cause breakouts. The
new lather allows a really

On Red Troops

f'H
BANGKOK. Thailand, Jan
{ (AP). - The United States
today apparently failed to con.
vince its allies that Soviet
planes are flying troops from
Communist North Wet Nam
into Laos.
A statement issued after a
meeting Of permanent repre-
sentatives Of the Southeast
Asia Treaty Organiza 10 n
(SEATO) was silent on the
point. 1t did accuse the Rus
slams Of flying in arms to pro-
Communist rebels in the neigh
boring kingdom.
"A small group Of United
States military officers flew in
from Washington and attended
the session. Apparently they
introduced material to support
the State Department charge
Of manpower Intervention.
A statement issued after the
two-hour and 40-minute meet
ing said the Council NOTED
with concern reports Of iucreas-
ing supply Of war material by
Soviet aircraft from North Wet
Nam to Communist rebel ele-
ments engaged in operations
against the Royal Laotian
Army and the people Of Laos. "
Security Imperiled
Continuance Of such inter-
vention." the statement contin-
ued. could only serve to pro-
mote division and civil war in
Laos and lead to a situation
which would imperil not only
the integrity of the kingdom
but also the security Of neigh
boring countries.
The statement said the Coun-
ell members felt every effort
should be made to find a solu-
tion by peaceful means in ac-
cordance with the principles Of
the United Nations Charter and
the Manila Treaty"
But it added that SEATO
member countries remain de
termined to continue to develop
and maintain their readiness
to fulfill anywhere in the
treaty area their obligations
under the Manila pact"
Another Council meeting was
scheduled Friday, earlier If
need be-" said Pote Sarasin,
SEATO Secretary General.
The Council members also
welcomed the ccnvening of
the National Assembly in Wen
tiane and expressed hope this
would open the way to early re-
conciliation Of all those ele-
ments in the kingdom devoted
to maintaining the integrity
and genuine independence Of
their country" Forty-one Of
the SO Assembly members met
III Vientiane yesterday to give
Premier Boun Gums provost
drn government q vote of con-
fidence.
Aid Not Requested
Mr.. Sarasin said the Laotian
government still has not re-
tnested .SEATo assistance and
that the Council did not dis
csiss possible military inter-
vention In Laos civil war. But
q group Of eight American
military officers, including one
Marine colonel who arrived in
Bangkok last night from Wash
irgton, sat In on the meeting
for nearly two hours.
sMr. Sarasin said the United
States had provided the other
SEATO members with a copy
of the Washington statement
accusing Russia and North
Wet Nam Of airlifting weap-
ons and Wet Namese soldiers
tor the Red rebels in Laos. He
said the statement and accom-
panying documents were not
discussed but will be checked"
by the other SEATO members.
tMr. Sarasin said there was
DO doubt among the Council
members that Soviet planes
had dropped military equip
rnent "in preparation for the
offensive that has taken place
in the last few days" But, he
said, Intervention by North Wet
Nam ground forces "is still to
be confirmed"
