Precedent for Dali

When Salvador Dali announced In Rome
that he has turned over new easel" and
henceforth will seek "the divine and the
angelic" in his painting, there must have
been many persons who wondered If, in
fact. he could reform himself and his art
no thoroughly. But some at least OF these
kkeptics almost instantly. remembered q
classic precedent with which founder OF
~urrealism naturally is familiar-the ex-
ample of Sandro Botticelli, the great
Florentine master of the fifteenth century.
what happened to the painter OF the
snaran "Primavera" and "The Birth OF
venus" is told with unconcealed disap-
arobatior, by the historian vasari in the
words: "He became partisan OF the
s.ect OF Fra Girolamo, and for this cause
abandoned painting. And since he had
not enough money to live upon, his afiairs

Fronce 'Tukes Note Of Bonn

Although the French National Assembly
has accepted the Bonn agreement negoti-
ated between the three western Powers
and the West German Government, It has
done so without indorsing the agreement.
That signifies reluctant assent to what ap-
pears to be the inevitable, since neither the
French Government nor any OF the major
parties could suggest any practical altern-
ative, while refusal to accept would have
toppled the cabinet and left France leader
less and voiceless at time OF great Inn
portance In the development Of foreign
policy.
French misgivings In the matter are,
however, due only partially to fear OF
revived German militarism, at least In the
practicable future. Despite their instinc-
tive apprehension Of their hereditary
enemy, they realize both present German
weakness and the portentous strength OF
Soviet Russia, which immediately naef1aces
all western Europe. They likewise realize
that II Germany Is to be allowed to exist
1t must not only recover to decent level
but must also be integrated into the polity
of Western Europe. Otherwise, It viii turn
eastward in despair and Illustration, which
would hopelessly upset the balance Of
power.
What the French chiefly object to is the
manner in which their allies, the Amer
leans and British, are handling the prob
lem. Their objection to American policy i
that 1t may enable German industry TO
compete too sharply with their own. es-.
pecially In that "integration" OF West
European economy which Mr.. Hoffman,
ECA administrator, presses 80 hard to
further. It should not be forgotten that
France has been q highly protectionist
country, with q consequent multiplicity
OF vested interests which might be ad-
versely affected by the lowering or abolition
Of tariff walls. Also, France does not have
the same aptitude for mass production as
Germany, Britain and the United States.
French objections to British policy are
more complex. Their root complaint is
that Britain u not willing to integrate
itself fully In West European union,
divided as It's interests are between the
Continent and the Empire and Common
wealth. n Britain remains half In and
half out Of Europe, the French object to
the consequent limited integrati0n wherein
France and Germany would necessarily
play the major roles The French fear
that, Of the two, Germany would eventually
dominate the combination.
From all this Il Is evident that France
will continue to be the reluctant and ap-
prehensiye partner IN policies to- which
it has acquiesced for sheer lack Of Z work
able alternative. This y : eo4tinuing

Tunu-Fish Hot DOGS

The latest news from the food front,
according to the Wall Street Journal, Is
the development of hot dogs made out of
tuna fish. They are being produced now
at the rate of about 100000 a day, and
pretty soon housewives probably will be
able to buy them at almost any grocery
store. The brain-child of two Bostonians-
a lawyer and a spice expert-their trade
name is Friday Franks" and although
they come from the depths of the sea,
they taste just like the conventional
weiners one eats with mustard at picnics,
baseball games and such exotic places as
Coney Island.
To sophisticated world travellers who
have eaten sausages and meatballs made
out of whales (such sausages and meatoalls
are said to be as yunmy as the regular
ones), the idea of tuna -fish hot dogs may
seem to be not the least bit unusual. The
rest of us, however, cannot help being
somewhat startled by 1t. 1t is sort OF
flabbergasting, leaving even the most
articulate among US more or less at loss
for words to express our feelings about It.
Like the atomic bomb and John L. Lewis,
1t cries aloud for comment Of one kind or
Another, but then, unlike the bomb and
John L., it defies anybody to think up
searching and trenchant remarks on its
military, political, economic or social sig
nificance, or on its potential impact in
terms of the astronomical future of
mankind.
In the circumstances, perhaps the best
and only thing to be said about Friday
Franks" is that they are reality, not
dream, and that they probably are here
to stay, like television and the cold war.
The ingenuity of man is seemingly limit
less. sooner or later, undoubtedly, some
body is going to figure out q way to
transmute porterhouse ste: IS into broiled
frozen mackerels which in turn, when
cooked, will be automatically convertible
into q full-course dinner, from soup to
nuts. We are obviously living in an age
of wonders. II they could see US now. the
ancient alchemists would be pop-eyed.

To Fire Apparatus In Arlington
To the Editor Of The star:
The first three to five minutes after reach
ing fire are considered to be the most
important It Is for this reason that 1t is
necessary that fire apparatus reach the fire
ground at the earliest possible time.
In the City Of washington, when fre ap-
paratus is upon the street. motorists and
pedestrians yield to 1t the right OF way.
Motorists pull over to the curb and stop.
pedestrians stay on the curb until the en-
gines have passed. Unfortunately, this Is
not so in Arlington.
Some residents of Arlington County ap-
parently do not realize that they are placing
their lives and property in jeopardy. as well
as the lives of fremen and policemen re-
spending to call. They should remember
that fire apparatus is heavy equipment. For
this reason alone, they should give 1t the
right of way.
We sincerely feel that II we can obtain
more cooperation In the observance Of the
right Of way for emergency equipment

generous cluster Of flowers in the

and q large cake had the seal Of

icing. The hostess wore very be-

corsage bouquet Of purple orchids.

howered hat. The Ambassadors
chose a frock of Navy blue sheer
for the party and Sonora de Cohn
was in pale blue crepe. Al
