Until Shrimp Whistle

. Nikita Khrushchev, the ebullient

a frank man. Speaking at banquet for
the East German Reds in Moscow, he has
Bluntly asserted that If anybody in the
Pest believes that the smiles of Russia's
leaders "involve abandonment of the
teaching of Marx Engels and Lenin, he
deceives himself poorly. Those who wait
for that must wait until shrimp learns
to whistle"
Soviet S m les according to Mr.
khrushchev, reflect genuine desire to
live at peace with the rest Of the world,
but they do not mean that the Kremlin
intends to retreat from the idea that
the star of capitalism is waning and that
communism is riding the wave Of the
future and will ultimately be triumphant
everywhere And he has declared that
Red Russia is supremely confident Of
winning that victory, not by resorting to
war but by proving itself superior in
competition with the VESTS free-enter-
prise system-"the way Of the blind" as
he calls 1t.
Mr.. Khrushchev's views probably are
shared by all other members Of the Soviet

indicate that the Kremlin Is as dedicated

Peron Is Through

Politically speaking. one might say
that Juan Peron lived by the army and
died by the army.
This is the one clear fact which
energies from revolt-torn Argentina.
Peron, the "brains" behind the military
clique which took over the country In
1915, has fallen from power primarily
because significant numbers of army
units joined the opposition In the fight
ing which began last Friday.
Other factors, of course, contributed
to his downfall. Ninety per cent OF
Argentines are Catholics, and when
Peron opened his attack on the church
last year the church fought back. In
the end, this certainly weakened the die
tator's position. The Argentine economy
has been in tailspin in recent years
and the governments efforts to cope with
the situation have been bungling to say
the least This brought widespread dis
content, and alienated important busi-
ness and industrial leaders who had sided
with the Peron regime.
This left Peron, as of last June. with
two main sources of strength-the army
and the organized workers. When the
army, which had remained loyal IN the
abortive revolt of last summer, turned
against him, Peron was through.
There remains question, perhaps
a critical question, as to why the army
detected. Indications that Peron planned
to convert his union "shirtless ones" into
a kind OF street militia may have had
something to do with 1t. The resent
ments and the enemies inevitably ac-
cumulated in nearly 10 years OF die
tatorship presumably contributed to the
revolt. But perhaps there is more to
the answer. Is another military clique,
as ruthless as that upon which Peron
rode to power, destined to form the new
government? II so, does this mean
change for better, or for worse, as far
as the Argentine people and the nations
of the western Hemisphere are con-
cerned? Rejoicing over Peron's downfall
may be premature until we have answers
to questions such as these.

raj superiority and speed Of
construction of precast con-
crete have been demonstrated
all over the country. Certain
types Of structures have cost
half OF conventional" costs.

used loosely as its apparent
meaning is satisfaction with

For a Cultural Center

The newly appointed Auditorium
Commission faces a difficult task, under
handicapS that include lack Of funds and
lack OF chairman. Fortunately, the
caliber of the membership is such as to
warrant the belief that the obstacles will
be overcome and the objective achieved.
That important objective is practicable
plan for providing Washington with a
long-sought civic auditorium and cultural
center.
The joint resolution by which Con-
gress established the 2l-member commits
sion failed to specify how chairman
should be chosen. And Congress, after
creating the group, neglected to appro-
pirate any money to enable the commits
sion to function adminiStratively. Pre-
sumably the commission itself will have
to select chairman from among its
members-but who Is to call the members
together for the organizational meeting?
The problem of organizing the group is
being discussed informally among the
members with view to having someone
perhaps one of the legislators on the
body-take the initiative In converting
the commission at an early date.
The commission has no time to waste
II 1t is to report to Congress by February
] on how, where and when the Capital
can build great hall for civic gatherings,
exhibitions, opera performances and SIM
liar events. Recommended must be plan
or plans for financing such costly I'M
dertaking, the best site for the center
and the precise scope and nature of the
project. One Of the commissioners, Rob-
ert w. Bowling of New York, chairman
OF the American National Theater and
Academy, told The Star in an interview
published last Sunday that he already
has studied the financing problem and
that he Is confident SIS million can be
raised by donations from private sources,
provided the land is given by the Federal
Government. In this connection 1t has
been suggested that such civic audito-
rum be included in the "L'Enfant Plaza"
plan for Southwest redevelopment, as
charted by the zeckendorf interests. This
Is proposal that the commission is ex-
pected to consider carefully. The outcome
OF the auditorium study will be awaited
with eagerness by city which too long
has been without cultural center of the
sort found in most up-to-date capitals
OF the world.

THIS AND tina T.
BY CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

This is one OF Stubby'S
distinctive marks.
When rolling, kitten-like, on
his back, his abdomen shows
up pure orange.
The legs, where not black
striped, are orange, which pro-
gressively grows paler and
paler as it ascends the legs.
BY the time the typical
tiger orange gets to his face.
it has paled out to q deep
yellow.
Stubby is all cat. and all
male.
He has run all the other
wanderers away, and enjoys
complete dominion Of the
yard and back porch.
He does this by his method
of attack.
An attack Is the best de-
tense, goes the old war maxim.
This was solidly based on
animal observation. and
Stubby, in 1885, plays 1t to q
fare-thee-well.
He will stand by another
cat, without making a hostile
sign. He will walk along with
a human friend, with the
strange cat on one side and
Stub on the other, each now
and then running directly be-
meath the feet Of the walker,
in the best cat style.
Then, all Of a sudden, and
without a sign of warning,
he will leap sideways and
knock the other to earth.
This sudden attack always
wins, in the cat world. No
matter how large, or how
belligerent the victim is, he
will run away the moment he
can manage to scramble to
his feet. Maybe there is a
tip here to us workings in
the human world.
Knock 'em down first, and
argue afterward. That is
what the animals tell us.
