she was divorcing her husband.

Before she returns to Holly

to Spain to buy herself a new

Edmund PurdOm will have to
be in London by September 5

a dancer on his own and as a

EUROPE, tNANA)-If the
rumors are true - that Kay
Kendall will give up her movie
career-she has a great swan
song in "Once More With
Feeling" Everyone who has
seen the rough cut Of the movie
agrees it is Kendall at her
best. Her performance compen-
safes for the extra million dol
lars 1t cost to make the movie
in Paris instead OF London. 1t
put Columbia back 100000
alone to take the actors and
the props from London to Paris.
The studio also lost out on
the British subsidy OF up to
5000 900 for films made in Eng
land under the quota. All Of
this because II Rex Harrison
had stayed in England he would
have had to pay double income
tax-in England and in Amer
lea Kay wouldn't stay in Lon
don without him and Columbia
and director Stanley DOnen
wouldn't make the picture
without her. All OF which makes
Kay the biggest female star
in the business.

The most welcome OF these,
OF course. are Alicia Alfonso and
Igor Youskevitch. Miss Alfonso
probably is the finest ballerina
in competition today. She can
match Margot Fonteyn, Alicia
Markova and Galina Ulanova in
technical skill and she tops
them in emotional warmth.
(And Alexandra Danilova seems
to have retired from the lists
Miss Alfonso even can bring
a fresh note to Swan Lake"
as she did last night in Ballet
Russe's tabloid version of the
familiar Tschaikowsky Ivanov
classic. This lyrical ballet al
ways looks better against this
arboreal Rock Creek Park back
drop. but it would look better
anywhere with Miss Alfonso
dancing it.
Her dancing of this. or any
thing else, is so Superbly pol
ished that it is breathtaking
to watch. Her skill and the
command of her personality are
such that a theatergoer who
never had seen a ballet in his
life would recognize instantly
that this is the girl in charge
You may have seen Swan
Lake" done many times, bu:
you never have seen it done with
more emotional impact than
Miss Alfonso gives it.
This is a ballerina to make
even a cynic retract his earlier
thought that we might all have
been better off if the prince and
his friends had let fly with the
arrows in the first act and fin-
ished of all those birds.
Miss Alonso'S partner in this
enterprise and in other ballets
during the week probably is the
ablest aide a dancer could ask

Stern Traffic Justice

Marylands Governor raves may
have had some recent traffic trials In
Prince Georges County in mind when
he deplored "laws improperly admins
tered and laxly enforced" He was
stressing before an assembly of magis-
trates and other enforcement officials
the seriousness of the trafflc-accident
problem and the need for strict enforce
ment Of the traffic lawS-including the
new ones passed by the 1859 General
Assembly.
The situation in Prince Georges
County has changed for the better as
the result of the Governors assignment
of new Judge to replace magistrate
who had been outrageously lenient to-
ward fragrant traf1c offenders. Gov
ernor TaweS said he did not presume
to tell the judges how to do their job.
But he expressed the hope that all Of
the magistrates and prosecutors would
not only cooperate in making the traffic
laws more effective, but, in addition,
would strive earnestly to "sell traffic
safety" to all who come before them. A
lot of lives may depend on how we'll the
police, the prosecutors and the judges
shoulder their responsibilities.

De GouIIe in Italy

President Charles de Gaulle of
France is being accorded an extraor-
dinarily friendly welcome on his cur
rent state visit to Italy. Wherever he
stops, the crowds greet him with 6pon-
taneous warmth and enthusiasm. Why?
Not too many years ago his country
and theirs, under Benito MuSSolini, were
at war with each other, but now there
is nothing but mood of friendliness
and good will between them. The
recent past, for the moment at least,
apparently is forgotten, and. what is
remembered are such things as the
victorious alliance of 1859 against the
AustrianS.
But the historical past is not enough
to explain why the Italian people have
opened their hearts, as they seem to
have done, to General de Gaulle. He
has way with him. His record Of
rectitude, his personal dignity, his ell
oquence, his almost mystical view Of
Frances actual and potential glories,
and his stubborn and reSolute faith in
the future of free Europe-these are but
a few of the characteristics that have
set him apart from most of his con-
temporaries. AS result, he stands in
a sort of special niche as one of the
truly exceptional and inspiring men Of
his age.
Accordingly, as he travels through
Italy, President de Gaulle appears to be
scoring personal triumph. More i'm
portant still, he appears also to be
winning friends and influencing people
in favor Of his reported effort to es-
tablish a new Mediterranean alliance
(including Spain and Morocco) within
the framework Of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. In that respect,
some NATO observers do not like what
they see, but on the whole-judging
from the current Italian reaction to his
visit--he seems to be doing an excellent
job in behalf of free Europe.

It was notable in the eloquently
simple and friendly addresses delivered
yesterday by President Eisenhower and
Queen Elizabeth at the dedication Of the
st. Lawrence Seaway that each chose
to describe as magnificent" this great
venture in international cooperation.
And with all due regard to the engineer
ing accomplishment and to the vast
economic implications, it was significant
that in using the word magnificent"
both of these distinguished speakers
were referring to something above and
beyond the material elements of this tre-
mendouS project.
Instead, our President and the Queen
who reignS over the British Common
wealth of Nations were citing the sea-
way development as dramatic mark of
the unique relationship which has long
existed and which happily gives promise
of enduring within the community Of
English-speaking peoples. In Mr.. Eisen-
howerS words, the new billion-dollar
seaway with its related power-producing
facilities is "a magnificent symbol to the
entire world of the achievements pos
sible to democratic nations peacefully
working together" To Elizabeth, Queen
of Canada as well as all other parts of
the worldwide Commonwealth, the
project ''is magnificent monument to
the enduring friendship of our two
nations and to their partnership"
But as President and Queen stood
side by side yesterday at St. Lambert
Lock, the eastern gate of the seaway
Just below Montreal, the shades of
others, the great and the humble, who
had played part in making this bold
dream a reality must have been gathered
close by. Surely present were the men
Of courage and imagination, the French
and English explorers who probed this
wilderness Of rivers and lakes more than
two centuries ago-convinced even then
that the mighty riverway was con-
querable path to the continents heart
land or even beyond. In the generations
since, there have been many others who
contributed their Skills of mind and
hand to the great EFFORT. It's impact on
the principal participants, on Canada
and the United States, and indeed on
the pattern of all the worlds commerce
will be many years in unfolding. But its
deepest significance, It's meaning in
terms of human relationships between
traditional friends, was bespoken by the
two who filled the leading roles yester-
day at st. Lambert Lock.

To Meet the Threat

Logic and common sense argue
strongly for the proposal to make for
eign military aid fixed and integral
part of the Defense Departments reg
ular budget. Unfortunately, despite
President EiSenhower's vigorous es-
pousal Of 1t in the past, the idea has
won scant support in Congress, which
formally rejected 1t as recently as two
years ago. Still, the fact remains that
it would constitute, If adopted, far
better arrangement than the one that
has been in operation since the end of
the Second World War.
AS matters stand, and as they have
stood for years past, American economic
and military assistance to friendly and
allied nations abroad has been Jumped
indiscriminately together in single
program requiring special annual con-
gressional authorizations and appropri-
ationS. This has initiated against
sound advance planning, especially in
the field Of long-term mutual defense,
and that is why the distinguished COM
mittee of experts headed by William H.
Draper, jr., has Just submitted to the
President much-needed corrective
report. It is report unequivocally rec
ommending that our arms aid to foreign
countries be dealt with in the same
manner-on basis not subject to the
uncertainties of legislative whims from
one year to the next-as are plans for
our Army, Navy and Air Force.
Mr.. Draper, former UnderSecretary
Of the Army, has effectively summed up
the matter in these words: I'VE can't
fight 100-year war, which suppose
this is, by year-to-year approach"
And his committee as a whole, having
in mind that the Vests do-or-die
struggle with communism may well
continue for century, and that our
overseas arms assistance is vital to
national security, has unanimously de-
clared as follows: ITO eliminate or dras-
tically reduce military aid to country
which is part Of the present front-line
defense would constitute disengagement
or withdrawal. This would, as certainly
as in war, result in the loss of free-world
positions. And, since the threat will
be with us for long time, our planning
and programming should be grounded
on long-term approach"
That approach, as advocated by the
Draper committee, and as indorsed by
the President, would bring the State
Department and the Defense Depart
ment much closer together in co-ordi-
mating political and military programs
dealing with the massive challenge now
confronting US. Certainly, regardless Of
their past opposition to it, the House and
Senate should give the idea their most
careful consideration. 1t is sounder
than the present setup.

Prophet of Doom

The 20 years Of New Deal,
Fair Dealism was successful
in breaking UP the Demo-
cratic Party. The once Dem
Gratis above Mason and Dix
on's line have deserted the
Democrat rank and file and
have become captive puppets
of the NAACP and the labor
union party. Even some Of
the DixiecratS' only hope Of
getting into Office is to run
on the Democratic ticket, and
after election they switch to
the NAACP and labor party.
The few remaining Demo-
Gratis cannot survive long.
Their only solution to save
the two-party system of gov
ernment is for the Southern
Democrats to unite with the
Republican Party. II this
Northern NAACP labor party
is successful IN electing our
next President and continues
to control Congress as it does
at present, America is doomed
to become q one-party system
Of government and q social

\ Once again Fairfax County is facing
annexation threatS-and, not surpris-
ingly, is considering an "if you can't lick
'em, join 'em" strategy Of defense. AS
Alexandria and Falls Church covetously
eye the wide open spaces just across the
city-county boundaries, the county Is
talking again of the possibility of join
ing the ranks Of Virginia cities, through
the device of Incorporation. For as long
as Fairfax County retains its present
nonmunicipal status 1t will be fair game
for neighboring cities in quest Of ex-
pansion room.
BY Incorporating as city, Fairfax
County not only would frustrate recur-
rent annexation attempts but would
gain the taxation, regulatory and other
powers enjoyed by cities. But, as a city,
Fairfax would lose other benefits, in
cluding, notably, substantial State funds
for highways. Arlington has deferred
Incorporation plans indefinitely because
OF the prospective loss of the road funds.
Fairfax's problem differs from that
Of Arlington, however, in that the for
mer, If truncated by annexation pro-
ceedings, would lose some Of its best
revenue producing territory. Alexan-
dria would like to bring within its cor
porate domain the growing and thriving
industrial park" area along Shirley
highway, in addition to other valuable
commercial and residential real estate
in the county. Thus, the county would
have to balance the loss Of road
money through incorporation against
the loss that would result from annexa-
tion by Alexandria of rich producing
properties
Actually the annexation threats at
this time have not taken definite form.
Both the Alexandria and Falls Church
City Councils are merely pondering the
adviSability and the possibility of an
nexing parts of Fairfax County. But
If the cities found that annexation were
both advisable and feasible, the final
decisions would be made by special
three-tudge courts after hearings. And
experience has indicated that cities

Peru's Ex-President

1t was a great pleasure and
satisfaction to be able to read
"Peru's Ex-President Living
Here Quietly" by Arnaldo
Otero.
AS one who was born and
raised in Peru. and has a
lively interest in all things
Peruvian, naturally the ar
ticle is of interest. Having
had the privilege Of meeting
Gen. Odria personally. and
the opportunity Of talking
to him in his home, am able
to confirm the little points
mentioned about the gen.
erals private life here. Hav-
ing lived in Peru during tur-
bulent times, and at the time
Gen. Odria became Pres
ident of Peru, / can also con-
firm that Mr.. Otero presents
the facts as they were. In
talking to the general, one
derives the feeling that here
is a man who is truly pa
triotic. and who, after leav-
ing office, has great concern
for his country, as well as
its neighbors. The general
absolutely refuses to discuss
his political opponents, or
express himself as to his
successor or former admins
trations. Gen. Odria's admin
istration was quite outStand-
ing In a number Of ways:
he did much for the good Of
the country and the people,
and Peru made gigantic prog
ress during those years. II
Peru is doing reasonably well,
economically, at the present
time. it is because 1t is still
riding on the push Gen. Od-
ria gave 1t. Much controversy
goes on about this unique
man. but undoubtedly his
tory will prove that he was a
great President for Peru, and
it would perhaps not be too
much to say that, as an in
dependent and growing ma
ton in mid-twentieth CEN
tury. Gen. Odria did as much
for Peru as the Liherators
San Martin and Bolivar did
for colonial Peru.

Objection Noted

Obviously. being a part Of
the population known as
"laymen," I know little about
running a newspaper. How
ever, having been q reader Of
The Star for Is years. ! know
what I like to see in a news
paper, and unfortunately I'm
seeing less and less Of 1t in
The Star!
I had always thought Of
The Star as a family" news
paper-one I would be proud
to have my daughters read.
(They are only 10 and 7 years
old, but both are avid read
ers.) Within the last two

is that the makeup Of "our"
