MAIL TRIBTJHE
Editorial Correspondence . . .
New York City, May 13th: Every visitor to New York should
take in the show at Radio City and most of them do. Here
is the perfect place to view a movie, listen to superb music and
see the greatest floor show on earth, headed by the justly famous
"Rockettes." We took our only relative who was born in New
York and still lives here. He is a nephew still in his twenties, and
true to his inheritance and environment, not inclined to indulge
in enthusiasms. He admitted the "show" was "ok" but did not
share his uncle's outlander transports.
The movie was "Funny Face" starring Fred Astaire and
Audrey Hepburn the latter one of our favorites. Not a great
movie but in such a setting it is hard for any movie to be bad,
and "Funny Face" was far from it. There was not as much
dancing as in most of Astaire's efforts but what there was was
both original and attractive, and Audrey Hepburn, to this de
partment at least, is photogenically where Greta Garbo was
many years ago, and a far better actress. There was a nice and
relaxed love story involved, the sound and color reproduction,
as always at the "Music Hall," were perfect. But the big moment
to your correspondent at least was "The Glory of Easter" held
over from last week; the combination of pipe organ, symphony
orchestra and well trained voices, truly hit the high spots.
The walk back to the hotel was a great improvement from
the weather standpoint mercury down in the 50s, a slight mist,
reminiscent of London, and an end to the unseasonable heat
and humidity.
.
The nephew perhaps will be more enthusiastic two weeks
hence when Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe appear
in "The Prince and the Show Girl." The title is ok, for Olivier
will be convincing as a "prince" and Miss Monroe is nothing if
not a SHOW girl but that is the trouble, there is too. much
"SHOWING" and too little "sense" we shall not mourn if
circumstances force us to miss it.
On Sunday we followed the crowd to the country, taking
the 10:30 ' to Mt. Kisco and a day with the grand children
some of them, the oldest being away at Boarding School. Those
left, range from 8 to 14, ' two boys and a girl. There are also
3 dogs, a curvaceous Dachshund, a regal-looking black French
poodle, and the latest addition, a trained "pointer," very trembly
and scared in his wire enclosure, missing his pals at the. "kennel"
and eager for companionship, canine and human.
Quite a change from Madison and 69th, here deep in the
woods of Westchester, with pheasant and quail calling, and
hunting to the hounds not far away.
This section of New York has changed very little in the last
hundred years. There is neither smoke nor smog, no wheels of
industry in sight or sound, and Guard Hill road, from which the
driveway enters, isn't even paved, but is a smooth wet clay
slightly changed since the American revolution, when from the
"guard house" on top of the hill the minute men might have seen
the smoke of battle from White Plains, then three or four hours
instead of 30 minutes away.
It is to be hoped that the "pointer" in a couple of weeks will
be disposed to regard "Interval" as his home, where he can be
assured of board and lodging, and if allowed to ramble with
the other dogs as they a-hunting go. The hope is not to "point"
game or to find the warm cozy kennel he came from. At any
rate Westchester is a great country for children and dogs and
with the dirt .roads, horses as
4 of the latter; but now only
well bred "racer." There is only
duo, if one is left at the barn while the other is ridden over the
hill, the former pines away and
partake of oats from the evening
back riding alone or very little and from what we can learn
only one member of the family is readily addicted that way.
("II y a tous le jours quelque dam chose.")
A nearby ...married couple were guests for Sunday' dinner''
and much to your- correspondent's surprise the man' is' "ah in
vestment adviser" with a Wall Street office, yet an admirer of
Senator Morse, and an old time friend of Senator Dick Neuberger's.
Needless to say we enjoyed talking to him, while the rest of
the family, all staunch Republicans, including the "baby" tried
not to listen in and succeded, except once when Tidelands Oil
proved too great a temptation. We were not surprised later to
find the couple were chosen because of their liberal political
views, which it was assumed "Grand pappy" would enjoy.
(The hostess was 100 right as USUAL!)
The "broker" whose name we shall not divulge for fear
he might lose some of his clients, did not dress like a liberal;
he graduated from college and prepared at Groton, but he talked
like one. In fact under FDR he was employed as an adviser to the
state department, and was a member of the U. S. delegation to
San Francisco and the forming of the United Nations, on the
staff of Secretary of "State Stettinius. He is not a Democrat,
registered, but not enthusiastically a Republican. He thinks that
the slogan of what is best for General Motors will be best for
the country if carried to its logical conclusion would destroy
our free democracy, and turn the country into a sort of Big
Business Oligarchy, something he does not wish for himself
or for his children,
That is our belief and has been for a long time. In short our
aversion to the Grand Old Party can be reduced to a form of self
interest, we believe that if continued in power indefinitely
it would not enrich this great country but ruin it ruin it for
the vast majority that is.
Later: We crowed about the weather change a bit too early
we fear. The skies have cleared, the sun is shining but the mercury
and the humidity must be running a neck-and-neck race for the
80's. The comments of the old New Yorkers remind us of Cali
fornia. Weather like this, they proclaim, in the month of May
is MOST "unusual."
T.V. in New York has its advantages. Instead of one channel
there are 12. The pictures we have received however mostly
sports have not been nearly as clear cut or the dialogue as
clear, as on our set at home. However beggars can't be chosers,
it is all for free. R.W.R.

- Life in Russia note:
The Soviet finance minister
has just announced that Soviet
wage-earners will be REQUIR
ED to contribute the Russian
equivalent of three billion dol
lars to the communist state this
year.
Officially, the money will go
into a national loan but Party
Chief Kruschev revealed last
mnnth in a speech in Moscow
jthat the investors in these so-
called Russian bonds will NEV
ER GET THEIR CAPITAL
BACK.
That is to say:
The money to pay for the
bonds will be taken out of the
pay checks of the Russian work
ers but the loan will never be
paid off.
THAT recalls an interesting in
cident of Kruschev's speech.
He explained in communist
double-talk to an assemblage of
Russian workers that the bonds
they had already been required
to buy over and above their
taxes (they DO have taxes in
Russia) would never be redeem
ed. The workers CHEERED vo
ciferously. Why did they cheer?

They cheered because they
thought Kruschev was .telling
them that while the bonds they
had bought so far would never
be paid off THEY WOULDN'T
BE COMPELLED TO BUY ANY
MORE. That was good news to
them.
Now they are told they'll
have to go right on buying.
HOW can such things happen?

Joseph AIsop
the most impressive feature,
dark, shrewdly appraising but
burning with an inner fire.
He speaks neither French nor
English in this country usual
ly an indication of fairly humble
origins, and in this case a cor
rect indication. ,
As the leader of the extreme
left-wing, pro-Egyptian and Communist-linked
Baath party, he
frowns officially upon the old
Turco-Arab courtesy titles. But
his friends and followers still
call him "Ahram Bey," which
is the approximate equivalent of
":Sir Ahram," and he does not
seem to mind. :
Such then is Ahram Hourani,
who has terrified Syria's con
servatives and now manipulates
Syria's moderates as though they
were so many flannel bodied
puppets in a rather bad puppet
show. He has -been on several
different sides in- politics. He
has survived more than one coup
d'etat. This winter's political
trials were staged in his party's
interest, and so was a recent
political assassination of a pro
Western Syrian officer who had
taken refuge in Lebanon.
ALTOGETHER, I was not sur
prised,' when I met Ahram
Hourani at lunch the other day,
to find myself thinking that here
was an extremely tough custom
er The same thought had oc
curred to me in similar circum
stances the year before. Most
other Syrian politicians sadly
resemble dead fish comfortably
laid out on rather expensive fish
mongers slabs. But Hourani is at
least alive, at least knows what
he wants, at least has the guts
to go after what he wants.
Mixed with the ambition and
the ruthlessness, moreover, one
suspects that Hourani has a
genuine strain of passion and
conviction, however misguided.
He is the master of the mob in
the Damascus streets, but he is
something more than a mere
demagogue.
This year's luncheon was in
most respects a curiously exact
repeat of last year's. The com
pany was the same: Hourani
himself, the Baathist Syrian For
eign Minister Salah Bittar, the
Baath theorist Michel Aflak, my
generous host and myself. The
meal . comprised the same de
licious Arab dishes. The 'con
versation ran upon the same
main subject, the troubled rela
tions between the Arab national
ists and the Western powers. But
all these similarities only served
it that the plan would have re
quired government purchases of
up to half a billion pounds of
beef last year.
THEY added that the program
provided by the bill would
bolster prices in the short run.
But in the long run, they said, it
would lead to over-production
and heavy government subsidies.
In other words
It would cram the storage
warehouses to the bursting
point with subsidized surplus
beef and this surplus would
hang over the beef markets of
the future like a dark thunder
cloud. Such is political farming.
GLIMPSES of the future note:
Houses that will fold up in
the trunk compartment of your
car or at least in a pint-sized
trailer may become the mobile
homes of tomorrow. These bal
loon houses, made out of a new
type plastic, will be inflated by
a blower and anchored to a pre
pared floor. The first model will
sell for about a thousand dollars
including folding furniture to
go in it.

What next?
Lii
By Joseph Aliep
to emphasize the strongly sug
gestive differences. .-
LAST year, it was all "our
suffering Arab brothers" in
Aden, Algeria, Kuweit or any
where else that was a thousand
miles distant. Last year, despite
the presumed dedication of Hou
rani and his followers to radical
social reforms, one could not per
suade them to talk for a moment
about the much more easily
remediable, miseries of their
Arab brothers in Syria.
This . year, instead of fiery
orations, there was serious talk,
not only about the central sub
ject, but also about the dozen
or more connected but subsidi
ary topics. What about the
humiliating defeat by. the Israel
is of the Egyptian Army in
Sinai, for instance? Did it not
mean that Nasser's brand of
A a b - nationalism, consisting
only of playing on old, remem
bered hatreds of the West, was
a poor foundation for a real
Arab national revival?
At first, ' Hourani and his
friends did not admit the. defeat,
They told, .the ..Egyptian 'propa
ganda story," that this worst rout
of any national Army in the last
50 years was a wise strategic
withdrawal worthy of Kutuzov
(to whom President Nasser has
been known to compare himself).
But then they began to show
concern. The hard facts Uwere
anxiously discussed. And so was
the basic problem of giving the
Arab national revival a solid
social foundation.
QEVERAL other topics, such
J as the left-wing Arab nation
alist link with the Communists,
evoked the same pattern of doc
trinaire assertion followed by
serious talk. Above all, it was
the same with the all important
topic of the new American pres
ence on the Middle Eastern
scene. At first there was defi
ance; and then there was real
concern and serious questioning
about the final desirability of a
quite needless, all-out clash with
the greatest power in the mod
ern world-
As Hourani and his friends
are not only masters of. the
masses but also leaders of ' the
youth, one left the luncheon
wishing the clash might some
how be avoided.

Yreka The Siskiyou county
board of supervisors Tuesday re
quested the bureau' of land
management to take no immed
iate action in withdrawing 22,
000 acres in the Mt. Dome area
for use as a game refuge.
The board is asking that lo

decision is made.
Protests to the proposed with
drawal have come from resi
dents of the northeastern part
of the county. Among groups
opposing the plan are the Duns
muir Rod and Gun club, sever
al Granges and ranchers. :
Present lack of open, hunting
area was among reasons for the
opposition. Another reason given
was that present agricultural

Split Seen
Red China;
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
There are indications that a
big split has developed between
Red China and Soviet Russia on
the proper re
lationships be
tween Commu
nist countries.
It has been
known for a
long time that
Wladyslaw Go
mulka, the
Polish Com-
Charles HcCann mumst leader,
has received strong and perhaps
decisive support from Red
China in his fight against Soviet
domination.
It now appears that Mao Tse-
Tung has warned Soviet lead
ers that they had better recog
nize the right of East European
countries to handle their own
affairs if they want to keep out
of trouble. '

To the Editor: In regard tc
our tragic train accident of a
week or so ago.
- We are all ready to condemn

condemn any -One. Yes, the train

do you realize that could happen
to any of us?
How many times 'do we all
stop our cars on the tracks to
wait for the lights to change at
any time of the day or night?
Has all the talk about safety
that our Chief of Police Champ

have been giving on TV each
week gone over our heads? Have
they been talking for nothing?
I agree, something should be
done but the tracks are there
and I suppose they'll stay, but

Between Soviets and
Aid Given Satellites
Communist Premier Chou En
lai as his chief supporters
against any new attempt by the
Russians to get Poland back
under Soviet domination.
Mao Congratulated Gomulka
Mao sent a message of warm
congratulation to Gomulka at
the time of the Polish revolt
last October.
" It was disclosed also at that
time that Mao and Chou strong
ly disapproved of Russia's brut
al suppression of the Hungarian
revolt.
Later, they half-heartedly said
that Russian intervention was
justified because the Hungarian
revolt "was inspired by "imper
ialists." But the Chinese leaders have
consistently supported Gomulka,
who managed to win a great
measure of independence from
Russian domination because
unlike the Hungarians he suc
ceeded in keeping anti-Russian
feeling under control.
Gomulka's position was ma
terially strengthened last Janu
ary when Chou visited Poland.
Poison Sprays
To the Editor: We hear so
much these days of how awful
the H-bomb is. An article in the
Hartford Courant says nerve gas
is more potent than atomic or
thermonuclear bombs.

magazine says a chemical de
veloped during the war and call
ed a poison nerve gas, (which the
German army was afraid to use
because once turned loose there
was no way to control it a
shifting wind might blow it back
onto . their own troopsX is .now

to farmers' to spray on -then-fields.

What happens to farmers' fam:
ilies or neighbors across the way
if the wind blows some their
way? What of the health hazard
resulting from the use of these
poisonous sprays sprfeys so
toxic or caustic that they dam
age the paint on houses and
automobiles?
What do you suppose is the
effect pn the lining of the lungs
of those who are forced to
breathe it? Can we afford to. risk
damaging the lives or nealfh of
our children or livestock by poi
soning the air they breathe and
the food they eat?
Pedestrians walking down city
streets have had their skins
burned by the sprays and have
required hospital and medical at
tention. I have been blistered by
the spray right here in this val
ley and had to get medical at
tention. And when we see little
birds fluttering around on the
ground, gasping for breath, we
wonder what this is doing -to
people. ;
Can we say we are Christians
and sit idly by and do nothing
about it? Or should we let our
voices be heard, like the people
in California did over airplanes
passing over the schools? . jr ,

FUNERAL DIRECTORS
Last month, Polish Premier
Josef Cyrankiewicz paid a visit
to Peiping, the Chinese Commu
nist capital. ,
At that time, Mao accepted an
invitation from Cyrankiewicz to
visit Poland in September, inci
dent to a long-set visit to Mos
cow. Cyrankiewicz obtained from
the Chinese leaders a ' new en
dorsement of Poland's bid for
independence. .-'.'.
Apparently as the result of
Cyrankiewicz's visit to Peiping,
it has now been disclosed in
Warsaw that Chou made . a
speech last February in which
he openly condemned the Rus
sian intervention in Hungary.
Expected More Revolts
In that speech, Chou said that
Russia must expect further re
volts in Communist satellite
countries if -it tried to domin
ate their affairs.
Chou also said that Commu
nist governments individually
must give more freedom to their
peoples:
Mao and Chou are the top
men in the biggest Communist
ruled country in the world, Red
China has 600 million people,
three times the number of those
in the Soviet Union.
Red China was long regarded
as a sort of Russian satellite.
That this idea was completely
incorrect became evident at the
time of Josef Stalin's death. It
is now recognized that Chou re
gards himself as the equal, if not
the superior, of any Russian as
an authority on Communist doc
trine. Red China Returns
