Comes now the Christmas
New Year season and with
it the most frenetic party
giving and party-going Of
the year. The purpose Of q
party is a good time. Are we
getting the most out Of our
efforts?
Our most peculiar tnstttu-
ton, the drunken office
Christmas party in celebra-
ton of the birth Of Christ,
seems to be waning. The big
hair-let-down. with bosses
and clerks chasing the
stenographers and office
girls, needs to be put back
on the leash. Business and
monkey business don't emul-
sify.
But other and more inno-
cent parties deserve re-ex-
animation, too. Too often
we have replaced compan-
ionship with mere contact,
smothered true conversation
with yackety-yak, and hoped
up the whole miserable mess
with alcohol in an effort to
lend spurious jollity to the
mob scene.
The cocktail party is an
evil into which we fell hon.
estly. Large sit-down dinners
have become steadily less
practical. Bridget no longer
ferries in from Ellis Island
eager to work a 6la-day
week for SO. In fact, they
even have closed Ellis Island.
So hoStesSes discovered
that the easy way out is the
cocktail party. You can pay
off your social obligations
wholesale with a couple of
cases of liquor and enough
canapes to ruin dinner and
not enough to substitute for
it. Sometimes, in a desperate
effort to provoke CONVERSE
ton hostessess offer fried
worms, fricasseed grasShop-
pers and chocolate-covered
ants. This is a good sign.
Any such institution cannot
be long for this world.
The cocktail party is q
device by which you meet
everyone and know no one.
The accepted form is banal
gum-beating, small talk that
approaches the microscopic,
the quip, the bit Of gossip,
the stag corner dirty story
CASUALLY one that was first
told by a centurion Of Julius
Caesar, in short, cheerful
noise. Any abstract idea is
viewed with horror. Yet at
cocktail parties you may be
surrounded by people Of
brains, experience and even
convictions. The form of the
gathering simply prevents
communication.
Cocktail parties could be
immensely improved if the
hostesses would provide es-
cape matches. For the mar
ticulate there should be q
television room. For the con-
templative a chair in the at
tic. And for males who can
no longer stand hearing
women call each other Dab
ling" or Honey" or "Sugah"
there should be q crap game
in the basement.
II cocktail parties are
deadly and large dinners are
too expensive, what then?
Well, of course, there is the
backyard lookout. This bust
ness Of going chuck-wagon
primitive within so feet of q
perfectly good stove has cap
tured the imagination Of
America, and generally it's a
good thing. 1t makes the
head Of the household feel
creative and keeps his wife
in gales Of laughter. The
guests are sure to follow
with absorbed interest the

the excitement Of anything
done clumsily under difficult
conditions.
But in those regions where
cooking out Is not feasible in
the wintertime, what then?
A couple Of suggestions:
Instead Of drinking parties,
how about slipping parties?
SIP stands for Six Interest
ing People. This is the lower
limit. You can 60 as high as
ten. But the technique Is to
have the gathering large
enough to provide q variety
Of views and small enough
so that the attention Of all
can be directed at one thing
at the same time. This can
range all the way from little

The Happy Pollywog and
Fred's movies Of Yellowstone
up to an argument over the
significance Of nucleic acid
in heredity. The only re-
quirement is for hosts and
guests to be intellectually
congenial-the level doesn't
matter. What you get is COM
partnership.
Then there should be
parties for People, Who-Like-
Bridge But Not-Very- Much.
Millions Of Americans en-
JOY a little of what they fond
ly imagine to be bridge. But
they are hazy on the point
count and think that a one
no-trump opener means the
bidder thinks he can make
one no-trump. For such
players about ten hands are
fine and then they've had it.
Such parties should be i'm
mensely popular.
And then there should be
Trade House Parties. A lot

q year ago that same gov
eminent in Moscow was fl
nancing the construction Of

the avowed purpose Of using
such bases to attack the

American people. Has the
leopard changed his spots so
quickly?
Today there is a split in
each Of the two major parties
in Congress. Why, 1t may
be asked, are there, in eff
feet. four blocs2 Why, to be
sure, is the Democratic
Party in particular split so
badly in both Houses Of
Congress? One reason Is re-
lated to differences on eco
nomic issues. The other in
wolves a surrender to politi-
cal expediency by the North
ern Democrats in an effort
to attract the Negro vote.
Persistent attempts to try to
change human nature by q
process Of legislative coercion
is, moreover, beginning to
split the Democratic Party
among the voters in the
North, too.
An argument can be made.
Of course, on both sides Of
the controversy over civil
rights, but what matters is
that the American people
have never been given q
chance to vote on this issue
in q special election for
members Of Congress. Nor
is there today q system that
establishes party response

election has been held every
two years.

Venereal disease among teen
ayers was the target of a three
phase resolution passed last
night by the Crestwood Citi-
Zens Association.
The resolution called for:
/. A medical examination of
all students in upper-junior
and senior high schools;
2. Prompt notification of the
parents when cases of venereal
disease are discovered;
8. Parents to be held respon-
sible for prompt treatment of
these cases. either by a private
physician or through public
authorities.
The resolution was proposed
as an alternative TO a measure
now pending before Congress.
This legislation would allow
public authorities TO treat cases
OF minors without parental con-
sent.
Copies Of the Crestwood reso-
luton will be sent to Congress
and to the District Federation
OF Citizens Associations.

Star Special Writer

Last weeks submarine trag-
edy Of the Thresher brought to
the minds of old Navy men q
similar disaster in Honolulu In
1915 which led to presidential
citations for the fathers of two
Washington men.
At 9 am, March 25, 1915,
the United States submarine
F-4 slid slowly past the spot
in Pearl Harbor where the su-
perstructure of the battleship
Arizona now juts as a fCrlorn
reminder of a later tragedy. 1t.
Alfred L. EIDE, commanding the
small vessel, swung toward Dia-
mondhead and submerged for a
practice dive.
The two officers and 19 en-
listed men aboard were never
seen again. After a desperate
search, the F-4 was discovered
resting on the bottom In 300
feet Of water. Several divers
descended in vain attempts to
reach the dead ship. Around
$50 feet was the deepest any
diver had plunged up to that
time.
Also hampering the opera
ton was the total lack Of ex-
perience in retrieving sunken
subs. The F-4 was the first
American submarine disaster.
Treacherous Work
News Of the loss swept the
country and efforts to raise
the stricken ship intensified.
Four Of the Navy's expert divers
were sent to Hawaii from the
East Coast, among them Will
liam F. Loughman and Frank
Crilley.
For weeks the divers worked
to get two 8-inch cables under
the submarine so that it could
be dragged to shore. Only three
men were capable of descend
ing to depths of more than
$50 feet.
It was treacherous work.
Lowered along the giant cable,
the men were connected to the
surface only by. a thin lifeline

and an air nose. Tne caples
were slack to allow for the
barge on the surface to rise
and fall with the waves. AS the
divers descended, the lines
snapped with the swells, max
ing the dive a nightcare.
One soaring tropical day dur
ing the summer of 1915, Mr.
Loughman was making what
was by then a routine dive.
The slender, brown-haired
sailor was raised too fast.
When he was just rs feet off
the bottom, the men in the
barge felt the rope tighten as
they hauled him to the surface.
Somehow he had lost con-
sciousness and had floated
away from the huge cable
which the divers used to guide
their escent. When he came to,
his airline was hopelessly tan
gled around the leaping steel
cable.
Too Black to See
In the blackness 275 feet be-
low. the cable Missed Viciously
when a large swell raised the
barge. Mr.. Loughman's leg was
crushed.
Can you see how you are
foul, Bill?" cried a tense voice
through the telephone:
Nope, can't see anything"
was the reply.
Frank Crilley, hearing the
muffled answer, raced to get
into his suit. Rapidly he was
lowered to the desperate, trap
ped diver whose situation was
worsening rapidly. The cable
had been frayed by the strain
Of months of tension and was
rubbing on the air hose as Mr..
Loughman tapped helplessly.
The compressor aboard the
barge was barely keeping up
with the air demand of the in
jured man and his rescuer. The
officer in charge on the barge
made a rapid calculation and
saw that he would not be able
to supply both men with air
for much longer. Hope had
nearly run out for Mr. Lough-
man. On the barge surface
they thought him dead
"Crilley." ordered the officer
into the telephone, we're 60
ing to bring you up"
From 275 feet down came
the clipped reply: Go to hell!
I'm not coming up alone"
Radio Brings Help
Frantically the men on the
surface radioed for help. I'm
provising, the Navy raced COM
pressed air cylinders to the
barge. Tension rocketed in the
normally peaceful harbor as
news Of the drama taking place
in the darkness below spread.
Messengers shot across the bay
with instructions. In the heat
Of the Hawaii summer q
strange chill settled.
After four hours, a quiet
voice rasped through the tele-
phone. Mr.. Loughman was free.
There was still a three-houI
ascent to come, but a thrill of
thanks sparked across the har-
Dor and the Nation.
For his stubborn ,,.eroism
the quiet Crilley was awarded
the Congressional Medal oi
Honor by President Coolidge
