Dinner and Thoughts of Love

The light was aim. The
three-piece orchestra played old
waltzes and some OF the diners
got up 10 dance. This was Pea.
cock Alley In the Waldorf
Astoria and John Manca, the
graying headwaiter from Oe-
noa. seemed surprised: "You
eat alone tonight?" ! said yes,
! eat alone. Then I sat and
we talked a little Of Genoa and
he asked what he could bring
Coffee first." ! said. '"Then
beef strogonoff and a roll. Then
vanilla ice cream and choco-
late syrup and q second cup Of
coffee"
Because there was no conver-

and down q lot Of strange al
leys. My table was against q
wall. ] slipped coffee and looked
at each Of the people at the
other tables and tried to ina
Igine what, they were like. This
Is the merciless game Of the
mind.
Across the way were three
couples. All were In the late
forties. The tall man with his
back to me asked the lady on
his left TO dance. When they
got on the floor. she rested her
red head on his chest side
wards. and he led her nice and
slow. waltzing backwards and
swinging a little with the
rhythm. She looked her age,
but she was pretty. The un-
adorned black dress with the
square neckline e came down
over her figure like shiny tar
on q road.

She had lovely legs and q
good foot. The slippers had
rhinestone buckles and they
caught the edge Of the spot
light in blue fame. The heel
Of her foot wiegled a little with
each step. Once he said some
thing and she looked up and
smiled and I thought how
much in love they appear TO be.
The thoughts moved Up and
down the little lanes and I
asked myself why II should be

age should be romantic.
There was no answer because,

Cart Before the Horse

After a great deal of Juror, the lin
ner loop" highway private Development
auditorium Commission mixup in Foggy
Bottom appears finally to be on an en-
couraging track.
What has happened is that compe-
tent representatives of each group have
agreed to determine Jointly whether a
highway route can be found which would
permit the Auditorium Commission to
build its proposed cultural center in
Foggy Bottom without ruinous effect on
desirable private development there One
route, which satisfies everyone but the
commission, already has been found. 1t
may be that no panacea is possible. In
that event, it is doubly important that
all parties be convinced that every effort
was made to find one.
A more immediate problem, however,
Is that Congress has permitted the cart
to precede the horse by failing to declare
its own intentions toward the auditorium
project. The Auditorium Commission.
which is purely an advisory body to Con-
gress, clearly has asked Congress to buy a
site. Instead, the Senate has passed a
bill empowering the commission to select
and acquire" site, through such broad
powers as condemnation. At this time,
such move is not only unwise, but fool
ish. How can the advisory commission
select and acquire" without knowing
where the money will come from? Obvi-
ously, it can't.
joint House-Senate subcommittee
will meet on the project this week. It's
hrst decision should be whether to ask
Congress to authorize funds for a site.
II such course is followed, Congress
obviously will retain the final voice in
selecting the proper site at the time it
appropriates money. One factor guiding
this selection could be the cooperative
studies just getting under way in Foggy
Bottom.

Needs of a Continent

Vice President Nixon has done good
Job in his understanding evaluation of
the Importance of an awakening Africa in
the balance of world power today In
recent years there has been increasing
recognition that the so-called dark con-
tinent is much more than a land of des-
erts and jungles, and is possessed of much
more than great wealth in material
resources as yet virtually untapped. 1t is
also continent of 220 million people
the last sizeable bloc of the worlds popu-
lation to feel the forces of nationalSm
and the active urge for political indie
pendence. From one end of the con-
tinent to the other, new states have come
into being in the past decade and their
political course in the near future will be
determined in large measure by the quail
ity OF understanding shown toward them.
1t is inevitable in this background
that Africa is potential stage for an
other act in the East VS.. West struggle.
The cynical appeal of communism will be
broadcast by every device of its skillful
protagonistS. The free world, in turn.
must be as diligent and attentive in shap-
African people. Mr.. Nixon was not exag-
gerating in saying that cit is as i'm
portant to us in the long run as it is to
the people of that continent"
Significantly, the Vice President was
not urging massive financial aid The
emphasis on the economic side was
directed at encouraging investment of
private capital and selective World Bank
loans rather than government-to-govern-
ment grants He was, to much greater
extent, urging aid on the more personal
level OF greater acquaintance with the
leaders and the peoples of the African
countries in order to help them help
themselves To this end, one of his most
specific recommendations was that our
consular and diplomatic representation
be strong and qualified to understand the
needs OF the new countries. AT time
when the State Department is preparing
to create new Division of African At
fairs, Mr. Nixons report provides some
new and valuable ground rules.

All Are Vulnerable

Some Pentag0n ofncialS are reported
to have been startled by Britain's ode
featist" attitude toward the problem of
defending itself against airborne nuclear
assault. But it is hard to understand
why there should by any such sense of
surprise or shock. Actually, in touching
upon the matter in the White Paper ex-
planning its plans for drastic military
reorganization, the Macmillan govern
ment has said no more than this:
1t must be frankly recognized that
there is at present no means of providing
adequate protection for the people of this
country against the consequences of an
attack with nuclear weapons. Though in
the event of war; the fighter aircraft of
the Royal Air Force would unquestionaby
be able to take a heavy toll of enemy
bombers, a proportion would inevitably
get through. Even if it were only dozen.
they could with megaton bombs infiict
widespread devastation.
II there is anybody in the Pentagon
who really regards such view as ode
featiSt," then he must also feel the same
way about our own country's thinking
on the matter. For it is fact that some
OF the highest authorities in our Govern
notwithstanding top military leaders
have repeatedly declared for the record
that the United States "at present" has
no effective defense, apart from the great
deterrent factor of its ability to retaliate
massively, against possible Soviet nu-
clear attack.
In that respect, just as the Macmillan
government has said of Britain, 1t may
be said of our country that if war came
An about war under present circum-
stances-a certain number of enemy
bomberS would "get through" And with
atomic and hydrogen weapons those
bomberS would be able to obliterate many
of our great cities and tens of millions
OF our people. AS for the more distant
future, perhaps there will be genuinely
effective defenSes against such an assault,
but they do not exist now, and that Is
reality We must all reckon with.
So the British statement on the
subject is realistic, not "defeatist," and
1t applies to every other nation as well,
Russia included. For the whole world
is acutely vulnerable in the atomic age.
Given total armed conflict, no country
whether the attacker or the attacked
could count on being safe from virtual
humiliation. That is why about war
has now become an act of suicidal in
sanity; and it is why men and their
governments may yet find enough wit
and wisdom to establish truly trust
worthy and lasting peace.
