CHARGE Against Diplomat
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Aug. l3.-The For
eign Office told Romania tonight
it did not believe the British
charge d'affaires in Bucharest had
aided black marketeers and snug
glers.
Romania asked Britain August
2 to recall Roderick Sarell. &c.
year-old British charge d'affaires,
for activity contrary to the laws
of the Romanian popular republic
and diplomatic custom"
At that time the. Romanian
news agency said the recall re-
quest followed the arrest of a
gang of black marketeers and
smugglers whom Mr.. Sarell was
helping escape from Romanta.
The Foreign Office said it told
Romania in a note that although
the British government would re-
call Mr.. Sarell in accordance
with international practice, they
categorically reject the grounds
on which it had been advanced" !"

A few of the boys like David Will
Hams broke the back fence. We
made so much noise that some
body called the police. People
sure left fast. Jean Durand had
quite a crowd at her place after
wards &C.,. Remember? Jean
Durand had a slumber party. 1t
was rumored that Bruce Williams
and some of the other boys were

PAST and PRESENT
By Myrrhene Allen

Past and Present. What's that
mean? Well, in this column many
of you will be reminded of things
that have happened in the past
and also of things that are hap
pening at the present. Interest
ing? hope so. Shall we look
back?
We've all come long way from
the time we were kids and at
tending big birthday parties in
projects like Edna Mae and Mat
tie Dell Shaw's seventh birthday.
Times when we sewed doll clothes
with Camille Williams and Bar
bara Vassar or played cowboys
and Indians with Marvin Reed and
Tommy Hickman. Times when we
were laughed at during a critical
time by little boys with dirty
faces like Wilbur Grissam's.
Times we were afraid of boys like
Martha Anderson. It's been a long
time since then. We can't go back
that far, but let's peek back a few
years.
