more than 1000 different collec-
tions with total of nearly 10000
bookings or engagements in mu-

the UNESCO program. In this
field it worked closely with the
cultural officers Of the embassies
of France, China, Guatemala and
Cuba and the Legation Of Switzer-
land in bringing exhibitions from
those countries to the United
States.
The federation's program OF
travelling shows is designed to
provide art materials for commu-
mites without facilities of their
own. In addition, it has come in

What's in a Name, Indeed, If 1t Is

of club he'd found highly success
full in Manhattan. He took over
the Club Cairo and turned 1t into
the Sale de Champagne. He filled
| it with comfortable divans, mod
ern art and a relaxing atmosphere
and dedicated 1t to the sale of
wines.
His first discovery was that
Washingtonians like their poison
distilled and smoky, not fermented
to delicate bouquet. He readily
conceded to this argument and
stocked the bar. Mr.. Levin's Sec
ond and sadder discovery was
that people around town still
thought of his Sale de Cham
spagne as the Club Cairo. Those
who went there kept telling cab
drivers to take them to the Club
Cairo and the cab drivers all un-
derstood.
That's where the strangest
conspirators ever to join a con-
spiracy of the fates joined the
one against Mr.. Levin. These
were people sitting off in the
corners of newspaper city rooms,
people called copy readers. It is
the duty Of copy readers to write
headlines and headlines can con-
tain only a limited number OF
letters, since Gutenberg only
made type movable, not compress
