It's quiet now in Bethesda these
warm summer days. Bridge games
club meetings, committee meetings
that fill the days for ten months
of the year are now discontinued
until the fall; and on week days
the residents here go to the sew
sral nearby pools, play an occasional
foursome of bridge and give them
selves over to leisure time activi-
ties.
But on week ends the neighbor-
hood comes to life again and goes
back on its old schedule of party
giving and party going.
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Shinkman give
small parties nearly every Sunday.
Their guests come in the cool OF
the late afternoon, sit on the ter
race, MUNICH the good things Mrs
Shinkman gives them to eat and
until late in the evening continue
the discussion of Mr.. Shinkman's
afternoon broadcast on his program
Are We Agreed?"
Mrs. Shinkman came here from
England. She has been here long
enough to have taken on many of
our American ways and customs
But when she gives a party there
is still something of the flavor of
England in the way she entertains
Maybe it's the way she brews the
tea, maybe it's the little cucumber
sandwiches she frequently serves
at her parties, or the scenes with
their filling of blackberry jelly
Whatever it is there is something
about parties at the Shinkman's S
that makes guests stay as late as
they can and they always ask for
repeat on the invitation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shinkman will en-
tertain again today and their honor
guests will be foreign correspon-
dent Mr.. Paul Scott Rankin of the
Reuters News Agency, Mr.. James
Loo, representing the Chinese News
Service, Mrs. Vivianne Powell of the
France-Presse News Agency and Mr.
D. Werner Imhoof, Washington
correspondent of Swiss news
agency. who will be on Mr.. Shink-
mans program this afternoon.
Additional guests have been in
vited from Bethesda and from
Washington.
Mrs. Shinkman has promised to
show her guests the Dogwood Lii
brary when they come to her party
today. 1t is in the basement of the
Shinkman home. Started several
years ago to provide summer reading
for her children, and based on the
share-your-book idea, the library
has grown and grown until now as
many as so children go in and out
of the library every week to borrow
a book and to bring one of their own
favorite stories for some other child
to read. 49,
Another Bethesda family who en-
tertain a good bit during the sum-
mer months are Mr.. and Mrs. Ev-
erett J. Boothby. They have farm
near Haymarket, Va, and on pleas
ant days they often have a group
with them when they 60 down to
the farm for an afternoon or for
long week end.
This week end Mr.. and Mrs.
Boothby are skipping their usual
trip to the farm, since they went to
New York Friday afternoon and will
be away until the first of the week.
They are guests at a yachting house
party and will spend the week end
cruising along the Sound. possibly
going as far as Montauk.
And, of course, there is seldom
a week end when there is not

There is going to be an i'm

Barney Baruch had just COM

against the Soviet Union and the
Russian demand for the outlawing
of the atomic bomb before the
Senate committee. The nice and
ancient red bogy had been raised,
and Baruch rode it, seeming in
no way disconnected by finding
himself at the lead of American
reaction.

he was confronted by repre-

word used, and, of course, it was
used against Lincoln.
The Knights of Labor were
charged again and again with
being a Communist organiza-
ticn. and John p. Altgeld was
known as the Illinois Com
munisf."
OF course, during the united
front period of the Civil War,
lew Northern voices were raised
against the Communist Workers
Regiments that marched out of
New York and Philadelphia di-
rectiy into the battle. Nor was
there too much of an outcry when
William Sy1vis of the Iron Mould
ers Union invited the First Com
munist international to make its
headquarters in Philadelphia. That
was in the late SOS, / believe.
But the shrill, caIculatedly in
sane voices were raised again as
the American Federation of Labor
grew, an organization which had
the goal of socialism written into
its constitution matter some
how forgotten-and the voices
never since let up.
Even if reds were a foreign
importation-as our Department
of Justice insists-red-baiting is
most certainly a time -honored

/ hope we will not fall into that
folly. The age of empires has
passed. not only for Britain, but
for every other nation including
Russia. The pursuit of imperial
ism is a search for FOOLS gold.
A GREAT deal of the reason
for the collapse of the British En-
pire is the searching sentiment of
democracy among the peoples
whom they have for so long doni-
mated and held down.
What we have said about free
dom, independence, and democ-
racy for all the people of the
world when we were fighting the
Germans and Japanese, has taken
root in the minds and hearts of
these millions of underpriVileged
people whom the great imperial
istic powers have enslaved in one
way or another for generations.
The role of America, in my
opinion, is to lead the world to
democracy, not to become the
worlds master. The way to do
that is through an effective United
Nations.
