The word has gone out on
what to wear at the various
official functions connected
with the presidential inaugu-
ration of John F. Kennedy.
The Inaugural Committee
said it is sending informal
memos to those who have ac-
cepted invitations because it
has received many urgent in
quiries.
Teh big question already has
been settled-the black silk
top hat will be in style at the
January 20 inaugural ceremo-
nies. There had been specula-
ton about this, because Presi-
dent Eisenhower broke tradi-
ton at his inaugurations by
looming a black Homburg.
The Inaugural Committee
knowing that the State govern
ors will want to wear the same
type attire as Mr.. Kennedy
sent them a special memo or
the subject: 1t will be formal
day dress - cutaway coat
striped trousers and black tor
hat,
The committee said an in
formal consensus on Capito
Hill indicates that those ap.
pearing on the platform at the
swearing-in ceremonies also are
likely to dress as Mr.. Kennedy
does.
For other spectators, the com.
mittee also had a word: The
men may be expected to veal
business suits.

The plan repeatedly calls
for a change in the Demo-
cratic c-Republican ratio on the
12-member committee and, ac-
cording to some members,
could result in a. move to drop
Representative Colmer Of Mis-
sissippi, one Of four Southern
Democrats on the committee.
Mr.. Colmer did not support
President-elect Kennedy, dur

The question was unlikely to
come UP at q caucus Of all

likely to cause any controversy

NEEDLESS WAR?
Bruce Cotton Series
Sturts Tomorrow

Americans will begin the
official commemoration of
the Civil War this Sunday.
And today they are al
most as divided over the
causes of the war as they
were in 1861. Some think
it was an irrepressible con-
flict and others consider it
a tragic and unnecessary
bloodbath.
Bruce Cation, probably
the most noted living stu
dent of the Civi, War,
argues that the actual
cause Of the war, which
cost some 100000 lives, was
failure to use the available
machinery Of democracy.
"It was Just too much
trouble for the ordinary
American to sit down
and think things through"
he believes.
Mr.. Cation, a Pulitzer
Prize winning historian and
senior editor of American
Heritage, discusses the
causes Of the Civil War

Anti-FiIibuster Fight
Appears to Be Doomed

lcloture (debate curbing) rule
was invoked, the time would be
divided equally between the
supporters and opponents oi
whatever proposition was be-
fore the Senate.
Senator Keating pointed out
that this would guarantee 50
hours Of debate to the minority
on any issue, instead Of the
present ALLEGATION Of one hour
to each Senator.
Those who seek to change
Senate rules on the opening
day rest their case on q con-
tention that the Senate has
the same right always exer-
cised by the House to adopt
new rules for each Congress
The opponents Of opening day
changes argue that the Sen
ate is a continuing body. since
two-thirds of its members
carry over from one Congress
to another.
To Rules Committee
This year the advocates oi
the continuing body" doctrine
are fortified by a 1859 rule thai
declares the rules of the Sen
ate continue from one Con-
gress to the next, unles:
amended in accordance with
with these rules.
Unless the liberals can mus
ter a majority to upset the
continuing body theory, this
means that all changes in the
anti-fllibuster rule will have tc
be referred to the Rules Com
mittee for hearings. This would
sidetrack the issue until al
least part Of the Kennedy leg
islative program has been put
through.
If the Rules Committee later
reported out a new rule de.
signed to let a majority enc
debate, it would still require
two-thirds to bring the pro.
posed change to a vote.

Nor can you translate into

The occasion was the OPEN

The aim Of the program,

the carefully selected teachers
several weeks training in the
use of special language teach
ing aids.
But DR.. Maubrey was in for

The program Is unusual be-
cause the 70 participants are
all native speakers Of French
and as such are considered
among the best in the country.
They learned the language not
in the United States but In
French-speaking countries.
No sooner did the session get
under way. however. when Dr.
