The W ashington Merry Go Round

VASHINGTON-For some time there has been a running, private debate between the White House and the State Department over the all-important question of whether the United States should make a new, dramatic peace overture to Russia.
 This dates back even to the days when Gen. George Marshall was Secretary of State. Recently, how ever, with the advent of the hydro gen bomb and Winston Churchill's demand for a meeting with Stalin, the debate has become more acute.
 President Truman has long felt and expressed himself in private that if he could sit down with Stalin, they could thrash out lot of the worlds problems. Yet he can't help being irked at Stalin for being aloof, and for ignoring repeated hints that he, Truman, would be glad to talk to him if he came to the United States.
 Overriding this, however, is MT. Truman's mystic sense of his own destiny as a peacemaker To old friends and members of his staff he speaks of this again and again. During the visits of White House callers he will sometimes walk to the world globe at one side of his desk and say with deep emotion:
 "The nearest thing to my heart is to. do something to keep the world at peace. We must find a way, or civilization will be des- troyed and the world will turn back to the year 900.'"
 Last Christmas the President car- ried out the same thought when he gave friends a bookmark inscribed: q would rather have peace in the world than be President, Harry Truman"

cry day while the royal family is
having lunch. On state occasions,
like the kings anniversary, they
wear scarlet uniforms.
Important parties are held in the
kings state apartments at Chris
tiansborg Castle, which also hous-
es the Parliament, the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, the Supreme
Court, and the excavations of the
original castle built by Bishop Alb
salon in 1857, which explains why
so little is left of it, and that little
not inhabitable. You must be
careful not to wander into the
Supreme Court and get yourself a
prison term of eight years, when
all you wanted was to listen to a
few parliamentary debates or not
to end up in the ancient ruins be-
low, when you were headed for
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
to unearth some important infor-
nation, in the belief that that's
the place to get it.
Among the fine buildings erect
ed by Christian " there is the
palace of Rosenberg with the re-
gala and a lot of other things,
and the Round Tower which is
about the size of a neat ten-story
building. 1t is completely circul-
ar; instead CT stairs there is an
interior winding ramp up which
Car Peter the Great once drove
a carriage and four. Later on
such doings wer forbidden to Rus
slams and natives alike. Finally,
Christian " built the Stock Ex-
change, where Danish stockbrok-
ers and others try to assess the
real value of the dollar, an exer-
else which, when you come down
to it, is rather idle in view of the
limited amount of dollars they
have.
For relaxation the Copenhagen
ers follow the same recipe as the
rest of the civilized world. They
go to the Royal Theatre to see
half a score of other theatres,
where they may enjoy American,
English, French, or other plays,
comedies, and musicals. Or they
may while away their time in one
of Copenhagen forty-eight NOV
lie theatres, 60 dancing, or make
the rounds of Tivoli, which is a
mixture of a green park and an
amusement park with switch
backs, merry-go-rounds, pinba.l
machines, and restaurants.
Strange as il may seem. Tivoli
really has a pleasant and init
mate atmosphere, besides being a
beautiful spot.
Copenhageners are bored, too,
the same as the rest of the civil
lied world. They achieve bore
dom chiefly by listening to the
radio. which has produced a new
low in the consumption of sleep
ing tablets. Television has not yet
reached Copenhagen, but opinions
vary as to whether it is good or
bad.
