While top oficiaidom Of the
United States stayed away

friendly and more relaxed than
in years past.
The State Department was
represented by Deputy Under

corps. the Ambassador Of Nor

present.
Political Picture
The Egyptian Ambassador
and Nine. Hussein were at the
party and posed for pictures
with their hosts. as did the
Ambassador Of Israel and Mrs.
Abba Eban.
The party looked like a rou-
tine diplomatic reception cele-
brating the National holiday
Of q country. Various chiefs Of
missions came BY to give their,
best wishes.
However, the warming diplo-
macy had not won the hearts
Of some United States officials
who had weighed the pos
sibility of attending or not.
The top ofilciai Of this Govern
ment to attend the party was
Associate Justice Of the SUI
preme Court William O.
Douglas and Mrs. Douglas.

Peculiar Experience

We received a letter a few days
ago from one of our local presidents
whom l have not had the pleasure
of meeting. We had written this
'ocal president along with all other
presidents who have not or had not

their members.
This particular president had us
70 understand that he did not have
ime to get these names and address
IS, that he has to work on his farm
in the day time and attend his
church at night.
We do feel that any president VIII
las not got time to devote to his
odge in matter of this king, doe
.ot need to be president. He seem
d to have been upset very mucl
BECAUSE we wrote him about thes

We had this president to under

not have to wr.-- MIN the second

Marie Pepperdine wants to

Marie will have no roommate
this time. but a couple of ex-
vaudevillians (Jack Durant and
Mary Beth Hughes) who live
next door will complicate her
home life. She'll have a boy
friend paul PicernD who drives
a bus. and her boss (Harry
Clark, who obviously has been
chosen for his ability to register
evaporation.
Despite some misgiving & S
which Marie may have at leaving
Irma behind her, I'm sure her
Tv fans will welcome the change
of scene. Before it's demise. the
Trina" series was foundering
sadly under a wave of bad writ
ing, clumsily contrived situa-
tions and hokey comedy.
Marie deserves better than
this, because she is a gifted
comediene. Let's hope that
Freeman g. Co. have come up
with a vehicle which will allow
her to display this talent.
I hasten to add that I am
not referring here to Marie's
physical attributes, which are
considerable and a Joy to watch,
but which alone are not enough
to carry comedy show on TV
for 80 weeks.

The shocking speed of Commu-
mist China's rebuff to the United
Nations Security Council could also
be read as more than mild rebuke
to Moscow.
Soviet Delegate Arkady A. Sobo-
lev did, after all, vote along with
nine other Security Council MEM
bers to have Red China come to
New York to discuss cease-fire.
Earlier, Foreign Minister Vyach-
eslav M. Molotov had publicly ex-

moved only some 1,500 women and
children off the islands.
The Communists, for their part,
staged two big bombardmentS Of
the Tachens, one by air and one by
artillery from nearby YikiangShan.
But military authorities doubted the
Tachens themselves would be in
vaded before late February or early
March. The Pentagon expected the
Reds to concentrate on small, near
by islands first.
Spectators settled on two chief
reasons for the delay in issuing
the evacuation order:
Chang Kai-shek was holding
out for a public United States COM
mitment to defend the Quemoys
and Matsu in return for abandon
ing the TachenS
Q The United States was waiting
for the United Nations negotiations
to develop, in the hope that Red
China could be persuaded to allow
the Tachen evacuation to proceed
without interference.
Neither version was officially con-
firmed, here or in Taipeh.
Chang was definitely known to
be reluctant to pull out of the
TachenS.
What secret assurances he might
have received about American help
in holding the Quemoys and Matsu
was not disclosed.

noitering in the general Shanghai
area, base for most of the planes
Peiping would be expected to use
in it's operations in the Tachen is
lands.
The Red Potten
Timing of the Red attack followed
a traditional Communist pattern.
In times of stress, the Kremlin and
Peiping are usually at great pains
to impress the outside world with
their readiness for any eventuality.
1t probably was not in the script,
however. that the MICS would get
the worst of the fight.
The State Department announced
yesterday afternoon it was trying to
find out the nationality of the at
tacking Red planes. It seemed likely
that the MICS were piloted by
Chinese. The surviving six MICS
headed for Red Chinese territory.
And the Communist Chinese are
known to have been developing an
increasing force Of jet pilots.
Nor have the recent noises in
Moscow displayed the same testiness
that has emanated from Peiping
Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molo-
tov, for instance, has let it be known
he would consider 1t foolish to start

France
Mendes-Frunce Ousted
On Africon Question;
West Unity PeriIed

France plunged into another cab
met crisis last week, spreading new
fear through the free world that the
unratified Western European Union
treaty might never go into effect.
The cynical National Assembly
voted Pierre Mendes-France out OF
the premiership, 319-273, as dawn
was breaking in Paris yesterday. The
immediate issue was North African
colonial policy. M. Mendes-France
was trying to give Tunisia more in
dependence. He ran afoul not only
of the powerful French colons in
North Africa, but of other factions
who disliked his farm policy, tax
measures, electoral reform and
German rearmament treaties. They
seized on the North African question
to depose him.
M. Mendes-France still would not
have gone down except for the 95
Communist votes against him. He
had come to power last June II
with a wide margin sweetened by
Red support. But he repudiated
the Communists and pointed out
that he would have had majority
even without their votes. The Reds
had their revenge last week.
Red Demonstration
When the outgoing Premier tried
to make farewell statement to the
Assembly, the Communists led a
cat-calling, desk-thumping demon
stration which prevented him from
speaking.
The National Assembly had
picked Mendes-France as the fall
guy In those trying days last June,
after Dien Bien Phu had fallen and
the Communists were threatening
France with military disaster in
Indo-China. He got high-priced
peace from the Communists at
Geneva, and then set about remak-
ing the European Defense Com
munity treaty. Under his not-too-
gentle handling, EDO was killed by
the French National Assembly.
He had done the Assembly's dirty
work. so the enemies he earlier had
managed to divide started conniving
to oust him.
But they did not succeed before
Mendes-France had proved his
craftsmanship by helping the West
formulate a brilliant substitute for
EDO. The Paris agreements which
were the result also provided for
German rearmament. This time.
Mendes- France surprised his enemies
by getting Chamber of Deputies
approval.
Frances upper house had been
scheduled to take up the Paris
agreements later this month. There
had been high hope Of passage. But
