this week when he was active

litically-minded was the fact
that Mr.. Nixon's campaign

persuasive approach to prac-

hand, he gives them some
thing they like to hear-con-
fident reinsurance that the

them bluntly something not so

they recognize is the truth
which is that the Republican

What's more romantic than
a wedding?.
And what makes it that way?
Last evening at the Royal
Thailand Embassy. Ambassa-
dor Sarasin's niece was mar
ried to an attractive doctor.
The pretty bride, all aglitter
in pink and silver, changed her
name of Supapan Panyarjun
to that of the wife Of DR.. Ba-
jarisan Jumbala.
That's the romance Of the
story$
But the why. of the story
began II years ago at the New
York Worlds Fair with a
woman with a great amount Of
curiosity.
Another Affection
The Philadelphia woman
went up to the Tailand booth
and asked the young Thailan
der why his country was no
longer called Siam.
The two became good friends
and when the young man re-
turned to his country he told
his friends about the kindness
of the woman.
When the young people Of
Thailand came here as stu
dents they would go visit the
fine woman they had heard
about.
Over the years she has had
over 200 of the Thailand young
on her hands. living at her
house and eating her food.
When young Supapan came
to this country last October
she, of course, made the trip
to Philadelphia to pay her
visit.

Vice President Nixon viii
definitely not include the
USSR or any of the satellites
in his forthcoming goodwill
tour.
Soon after the summit con-
ference at Geneva, it was in
dicated in some responsible
quarters close to the White
House that the much h-adyer-
tised American sweetness-and-
light relationship with the
USSR might be further en-
hanced by a visit of the Vice
President to the Soviet capital
this year.
But the gloss of the alleged
Soviet goodwill began to dull
somewhat soon after President
Eisenhower returned from
Switzerland. A more sober
analysis of what the Russians
actually had done for interna-
tional harmony showed that
nothing concrete had been
achieved. Only time could tell
what the actual Red inten-
tions were.
In the meantime. however,
the results Of the summit con-
ference became somewhat ex-
aggerated in the minds of a
substantial section of the
American public. The make
believe lifting Of the Iron Cur
tain to a selected few forgeign-
ers helped that impression.
A number of United States
Senators applied for and
promptly received visas not
only to the Soviet Union but
also the satellite capitals.
Their visit was necessarily
short. But some of them, such
as George Malone, Republican
of Nevada, and Allen j. Ellen
der, Democrat of Louisiana,
felt duty-bound to burst into
print while visiting Moscow.
They assumed the responsible
ity Of assuring the American
people of the Soviets' most
honorable intentions at a time
when the State Department
and Pentagon experts were
keeping their fingers crossed
about the actual aims Of the
Kremlin.
