One Approach
To Entertaining
By BETTY PEPIS
Contributing Writer

Representing a new point
Of view toward entertaining
is a Madison avenue adver-
Using man turned occasional
cook. He is Alan Koehler,
author of the just published
Madison Avenue Cook
Book" Here is a volume
which presents not only
workable recipes, but a whole
philosophy about party CIV
ing, a philosophy he happily
amplified in a recent inter-
view.
Since Mr.. Koehler has what
he claims is "the worlds
smallest kitchen" he operates,
as many hostesses are forced
to do these days, without the
benefit of help. Therefore his
meals are served buffet style
and guests, after they have
helped themselves, sit on the
floor around a low coffee
table.
Fat people don't like this
arrangement" he admits,
"but I don't know any fat
people. Even in skirts, girls
don't usually mind eating on
the floor, and if they do I
lend them a pair of pants"
For his parties, this young
host not only has no hired
help, he won't let the guests
pitch in either. For, he
warns, "the impression that
something wonderful happens
when you boil water vanishes
instantly a guest boils any
for you"
String Music
Music is a must with meals,
he believes, and even in
cludes in the book a menu
of music. The emphasis is
on string ensembles W hic h
add a special romantic kind
of elegance and he puts
thumbs down on jazz which
makes food and wine ner-
vous."
The ideal number for a
dinner party, Mr.. Koehler
suggests, is six with prefer
ably only two of the people
married to each other. Cou-
Piles tend to duplicate each
others points of view and a
party, after all, should afford
an opportunity both to
broaden ones circle and get
to know acquaintance on a
more intimate level. With a
group of six, separate con-
versations are not necessary
and the whole table can
share a topic.
When it comes to serving.
Mr.. Koehler likes things with
a quality look but extreme
ly simple on the theory that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-10-20

food looks best on plain
plates. His are white coupe
shaped and in open stock SO
if breakage occurs, they are
easy to replace.
The look of the home it
self is essentially a part of
party planning. Because he
so strongly believes this, Mr..
Koehler' worked with deco
rator Michael Greer to put
together a background that
is highly individual and ex-
presses his taste for the ami
NAL and vegetable kingdoms.
Fur patterns and rugs
abound, as do plants, and
there are a series Of pictures
of lions and leopards which
are the work Of a still I'M
known artist-Alan Koehler.
Questions and Answers
QueStiOn:-In our kitchen
dining combination room, we
have two distinct areas. The
kitchen is in red and white
check with a red brick Ii
noleum and white curtains.
The dining room has three
walls in antique white and a
sage green carpet. Furniture
in cherry wood and the &C
cessories are milk glass. I'd
like draperies on one wall in
double-tier or straight hang
ing. What color should I Sc
lect?
Answer:-For a more in
teresting effect, I'd choose
double-tier curtains in the
dining area. These could be
either in. an appropriate
small-scale print, one in a
white ground with sage green
and red, or, if space is small,
the curtains would be best in
a crisp white cotton.
Question: - Our three
year-old sons room is small.
His bed and chest are light,
lime oak. His rug is a fluffy
white bear. My husband
wants to paint the walls and
ceiling a cocoa brown. Would
an orange be dsprea d
brighten the room? What If
we purchased shutters; could
the bottom ones be orange
and the top ones white?
Answer: - Cocoa sounds
rather a dark shade for such
a young fellows room.
Wouldn't you rather have
pale, sunny yellow instead?
Then your idea for shutters
would be especially nice. If
walls are yellow, have yellow
bedspread with orange and
white trim.
QuestiOn:-My living room
Is "a by IA feet. Walls are
fairly dark wood panel. Win
dows are located at north,
south and east, so room is
quite light. Rugs are oriental
with red. blue and beige pre-
dominating. Furniture is teak.
I need slip covers, draperies,
lamps and accessories and
would appreciate any assist
ance you can give.
Answer:-Have beige (of
carpet for tie-back draperies,
for slip covers and lamps.
Pick up rich red and blue in
rung for accessories. toss pill
lows and glass objects.

The Marshall Confirmation
Presages Change

The confirmation September IL Of Thurgood
Marshall as judge of the Federal Circuit Court of
Appeals by us. Senate vote of "a to 10 after a
protracted series Of delays engineered by Southern
Democrats, brought credit to the Senate, President
Kennedy and the nation at large.
1t appeared for a time that the man who so
effectively used the legal instruments within the
framework Of Constitution to relentessly attack
the inequalities which have been saddled upon the
American Negro. would be denied elevation to the
judiciary because Of his battle against injustice
However public opinion, careful timing by the
administration, and handling Of the nomination
after the Judiciary committee finally voted for con-
frmation II to 4, thereby releasing the matter to
the floor Of the Senate, finally paid off.
Supporters Of Marshall were restive for months
because the Kennedy administration did not seem
to be pressing enough for MarshaIps confirmation

A SECOND BOMBING in
cident in one month has oc-
cured in Ghana with latest re-
ports listing four dead and at
least sixty-three injured. The
explosion, September 9, took
place about 200 yards from the
main gate Of Flagstaff House, Of
ficial residence Of President
Kwame Nlrumah. The bomb ex-
ploded in a dancing and singing
crowd outside the Presidents pal
ace. DR.. Nkrumah was believed to
have been outside his palace to
meet callers pledging their loyalty
when the bomb exploded. The
President, who was reported m-
harmed, was not near the explo-
sion. 1t was not known II the bomb
was thrown or placed beforehand.
Three young dancers were report
ed killed by the bomb.
THE FIRST bombing incident,
in what was believed the first &C
tual attempt to assassinate DR..
Nkrumah, occurred on August 1,
in the village Of Kulungugu In
northern Ghana. The President was

ing Upper Volta when he stopped

ippi Democrat II its chairman had prevailed would
have also held up the nomination However Demo-

action had not been taken 1t was understood that
supporters Of Marshall on both sides Of the Senate
chamber had the votes to discharge the committee
from further consideration and bring the matter
to the full Senate. Senator Hubert Humphrey, MIN
nesota Democrat and Senate majority whip openly
stated that the Senate would get to vote on Mar
shalPs fitness. "..s
Although the southerners attempting to make
a case against Marshall the floor, tried hard to
establish that their opposition not based on his
race they were not successful In convincing any In
telHgent observer.
They made bones about their opposition to
the NAACP and considered MarshalIs connection
with that organizations civil rights victories as
enough to disqualify him for Federal judgeship
They used the usual Communist smear technique in
which they tried to convince the country that the
NAACP was Communist and motivated
and that every principal officer was either Commn
ist fellow traveller. This approach was refuted
by both northern Democratic and Republican Sena-
tors who used less authority than FBI chief Ed
gar Hoover to disapprove the Communist smear
against the NAACP.
1t refreshing to see some southern Sem
ators vote for the confirmation. Six southerners
courageously voted for Marshall. They were Beall
of Maryland; Byrd and Randolph of West Virginia.
Kefauver Of Tennessee, Marlborough Of Texas all
Democrats and Tower Of Texas, Republican. Gore
Of Tennessee who absent announced he was
for Marshall's confirmation.
It should be noted that these senators come
from states where the Negro has achieved the
franchise and are factor in politics In the eight
states represented by the 16 senator's who opposed
Marshall, Negroes have been systematically kept
from the polls by unconstitutional laws threats and
even murders-a situation which Is now being chal-
lenged by the Kennedy administration which is
backing a program in the Deep South to assure Ne
gro Americans the ballot
The 16 senators who voted against Marshall
know they face losing battle in trying to keep
the Negroes from the ballot box and In subsection
much longer. Their rather weak attack on Marshall
and its lack Of openly expressed racial bitterness
was an indication that this Di'decrat element is
slowly getting the message"
