carolers and, upstairs, the waver-
ing notes of the rented trombone.
That Paris!
EVEN AS STEVE swung up the
~ stairs, to the attic, he heard
the sureness in the music. At first
Paris had practiced in the attic
by request, but Steve had to hand
it to him. He had worked hard;
two-three hours a day until he
could really play. Looking in on
him now, Steve saw that the
rented instrument cleaned.
''You love to- play, don't your"
Steve asked.
A smile the like of which Steve
had never seen before crossed his
sons face. Then, shyly, "Mr. Bax-
ter wants me to play in the school
band"
It was hard to keep his pride
from showing, but Steve only said
heartily, That's fine, Paris" be-
fore sending him back to bed.
Steve went downstairs, search
ing under the tree until he found
young Stevie's electric train The
box was heavy in his hands as he
considered. Toys didn't matter too
much to Stevies-he liked active
things, in which q father could
share.
When Steve came back in from
the car. he felt like Santa Claus
as he put the shiny leather case
that was long and sort of curved
under the tree. A trombone for
Paris.

When the sealed diplomatic
bags finally leave Trieste en- route
for the Iron Curtain again they
invariably represent something in
the nature Of a Saturday shopping
basket.
In addition. being husbands,
many Of these diplomatic gentle
men pop such precious articles as
electric light bulbs for the kitchen
into their bulging bags. Being men
at heart they also seek such fine
discoveries as spark plugs and a
fine rolled umbrella.
The most remarkable example
of the contents Of a diplomatic
bag on its way to Bucharest was
a litter of pedigree kittens. And
why kittens? Quite simple. really.
There are no cats in Romania for
they have all been exterminated-
at any rate, as pets-on the
grounds that keeping cats is a
"reactionary bourgeois habit"
And so the kittens went by dip
lomatic bag to Bucharest. The kit
tens and the pots and pans. The
cotton socks and the spark plugs.
The string beans and the meat.
The shopping lists Of freedom
hurried across the frontiers-to
the empty cupboards Of the East.

Balkan Diplomats
Speed 10 Trieste for
Liberty and Shopping

TRIE STE, July % (NANJA-
KEMNEWS).-The Orient-express
glides to a standstill. Out of the
sleek cars and out of the express
step ambassadors, ministers, first
secretaries and diplomatic couriers.
Once in this city they walk sud-
denly as freed men walk when
they stumble out of prison. Here
are the diplomats from Bulgaria
and Romania. They are here re-
plenish their wardrobes, to restock
their larders, to see a dentist or
an oculist. Above all. to be able
to walk and talk, to go to the pic
lures or the opera and to join in
after dinner conversations in lit
tie restaurants without having the
inevitable Communist secret po-
lice breathing down their necks.
Yes, the Orient-ExpresS has
arrived from the Balkans. From
the once-gay Balkans where dane
ers thrilled to music, where the
nights were long and happy and
where the days were contented
days of peace and plenty.
Now the Balkan capitals send
the diplomats fleeing from them.
And no wonder. Little surprise that
the diplomats now stationed there
take the first opportunity Of get
ting away from it all. OF scurrying
abroad from the drab communi-
ties which have resulted from the
peoples regime-a regime which
has made even the most common
place essentials, unobtainable lux
uries.
Trieste, therefore. no doubt be.
cause of the fact that it is the
nearest free" city this side of the
Iron Curtain, has become the
mecca of these harassed men anc
women.
And what do they buy wher
they get here? One would imagin,
that, being diplomats, they woulC
surround themselves with luxurie
which the very word diplomat
SO often conveys.
Not so these diplomats-conini
almost as refugees-from behin'
the Iron Curtain. They don't seel
caviar or champagne. They dom
see the dawn in from night-clul
table. No, they are here for NOR
simple things than that.
They are here remembering tn
last-minute instructions from thei
wives. to collect pots and pans AM
to buy string beans. beef, an
baby food. On their shoppin
round they collect cotton sock
and underwear. Large quantitie
of jam and marmalade to max
up for the lack of vitamins in tn
Iron Curtain diet.

It is a surprising disclosure that the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission has not
as yet been consulted formally by Federal off,
cials regarding the latest Government dispersal
plan. The commission was created by Congress
for advising on just such problems Any redis-
tribution Of Federal agencies around the perime-
ter Of Washington inevitably win affect the
master plan for the development Of the National
Capital. The planning commission should be a
party to even the preliminary discussions Of a
project so important to the citys future as dis
persal.
That it was necessary for the commission
to tell President Truman that its members "felt
1t should be consulted with regard to the plans"
Is remarkable. After visit to the White House
Saturday Chairman John A. Remon Of the COM
mission said that he and his colleagues got the
impression that the commission would have a
hand in the planning should the program be
sanctioned by Congress"
: There should be no uncertainty about this at
all Dispersal of Government buildings involves
major changes in long range highway, park and
other land-use problems in the Metropolitan
Area. It would be unthinkable to proceed with
any plans that have not been considered by the
appropriate planning agencies commemorative

Planning Commission but Maryland and Virginia
