Malcolm A. MacIntyre, Undersecretary of the Air Force, will speak on "Defense Policy in the Missile Age" before a meeting of the Harvard Young Republican Club at 8 p.m. tonight in the Lowell House Junior Common Room. A discussion period will follow his speech...

Stiffly at first, the class waggles fingers, wrists, arms and spines in a ragged ballet of calisthenics, then switches to vocal knee-bends: OHO, OHO; AHA, AHA; ZZZZHH, ZZZZHH ; UMPAH, UMPAH; OOOOH, OOOOH.

Chalk commutes between the two places in his telephone-equipped cars (black Cadillac, white Continental), on off hours retires to his 83-ft., twin-diesel yacht. A careful dresser, he owns 70 suits (most made in Europe for upwards of $200 each) and 30 pairs of shoes (most made in Paris for $75 a pair), sports vests with lapels...
