he was arrested, manhandled
and detained by Communist

Mr.. Vented said he was
released on the day of the

roll Of color film, however, was
confiscated.
In his account of the in

was taking non-military photos

When he protested his deten-
ton for merely looking at the
walls and barbed wire sealing
East Berlin, Mr.. Wentzel said
he was told, "You are now in
the free, sovereign German
Democratic Republic. Here
photography of such things is
Ierbidden."
He said his inquisitors told
him he could have back his
passport and leave If he gave
up his roll of exposed film. He

MODERN
MANNERS
Courtesy Is All Important
During Holiday Parties
By CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

Parties galore are in the
planning stages now for the
exciting weeks ahead, during
which we will celebrate both
Christmas and the new year.
Since one of the greatest
courtesies that can be ex-
tended to us by our friends
is to be asked to break bread
in their homes, it would seem
wise to take further stock of
how we behave when filling
the role Of guest.
One deplorably bad habit Is
to fail to answer an invita-
ton Immediately. The least
one can do to show appreci-
alton for the thought, wheth-
er declining or accepting, is
to acknowledge any invita-
ton that requires an answer
within "a hours after you
receive it. This is particularly
important if you are invited
for a meal whether it be
luncheon, dinner or a buffet.
This time of year with so
many parties going on it is
only fair to the hosts. After
all, they have to make plans
ahead If the function is to
be a success.
The objectionable rudeness
is to wait until a day or two
before the party to let those
who have been kind enough
to include you in their hos
pitality know whether or not
you intend to come. Those
who follow this procedure
should be scratched off the
list forevermore! They justly
deserve it.
There is another way in
which guests are prone to
slip up. Too often they wan
der in late. insulting the in
telligence Of their hostess by
offering stupid reasons for
their tardiness. Obviously no
real effort has been made to
be on time. Actually, unless
an emergency causes you to
be late when you have been
asked for a definite time, it
is an objectionable affront to
the hosts. Incidentally. a din
ner hostess, for example.
S h ould never wait longer
than Is minutes for those
who are late.
While on the subject of
dinner parties, it might be
well to mention an infrac-
ton Of the rules of good
taste that is INDUCED in by
far too many hostesses. They
allow food to be passed to
them before it is presented
to their guests. Now I'll grant
that there has been contro-
verSy about this. l have never
been able to understand why.
1t would seem very obvious
that it is rude for a hostess
to be served first. Considera-
ton of her guests should be
her main concern and help
ing herself first would most
certainly not indicate this. A
hostess should always be the
last woman to be served when
other women are guests at
her table.

Answer: This is a question
that comes up whenever you
entertain. We adults have
the same problem. 1t is OBJ
viouS that it would be i'm
possible to ask everyone we
know every time we give a
party. Those that we cannot
include should realize this
and certainly not feel any
resentment at not being in

Comments From Capitol Hill
by
Observation-Disclosures

attempting to fulfill the In
creased personnel requirements
of the armed SERVES:
ID BY encouraging voluntary
re-enlistments and voluntary ex-
tension of enlistments.
(2) BY increasing recruiting
efforts.
(3) By an increased draft call.
(4) BY involuntary extension
of enlistments, or by activating
the Ready Reserve. Among the
ready reservists, drill-paid re-
servists will normally be called
prior to the nondrill-paid re-
servists. For example, Ready
Reserve units can be ordered to
active duty for II days under
existing law, but in order to
improve their degree of readi-
ness, it may be desirable TO ex-
tend their active duty period of
training for several days, or per-
haps a week or more. 1t may
even be necessary to order the
same unit to active duty for
training twice during the same
fiscal year in order to improve
its state of readiness. That is
the reason why the Resolution
authorizes reservists to be or
dered to active duty for training
for up to IL months, although
there is no intention of using
this full period of time unless
absolutely necessary.
1t has already been announced
that the draft calls will be
doubled and tripled and that
certain Air National Guard tac-
teal squadrons will be ordered
to active duty, as well as some
Air Force Reserve transport
squadrons, and Navy anti-sub-
marine warfare air squadrons.
Admittedly, this defense build
up will necessitate personal sac
rifices, but our young men in
the Ready Reserve have readied
themselves to answer their
country's call. Even if the full
authority of this Resolution is
required to be exercised in the
future, less than 10 per cent of
our "a million ready reservists
would be activated.
This Resolution is an integral
part of our decision to enforce
our rights in Berlin, and to i'm
press upon the world, both
friend and foe alike, that we
have reached a point beyond
which we will not yield. The
Resolution serves notice to the
world that America will honor
its obligation to the people of
West Berlin and that America
stands behind its commitments.
1t is Americas answer to
Khurshchev's threats.

do We Want to VIM"
Summertime and it's difficult to
think about anything but vaca-

For example, let's take a look
at a very disturbing pattern
which has emerged this year, a
pattern which raises serious
questions as to whether the

it recognizes the path to victory.
