The
Rambler
Wonders How
Long Will 1t Lost
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Last night the Rambler
was a guest at a dinner at
the Sheraton Carlton for two
distinguished exemplars of
a culture that is on its way
out.
The dinner was given by
the Epicurean Club, the or
ganiZation of the chefs and
others engaged in the upper
crust Of the food industry.
The guests of honor were
Clement Maggia, one of the
worlds great pastry chefs,
and Edward F. Dziura, the
chef at the Shoreham.
Both were born in Europe
but came here as young men.
Much of their training was
on this side of the water,
from Europeans brought up
in the grand hotel tradition
of the 18th century who had
preceded them. .
The dinner opened with
artichoke Figaro, which was
hearts of artichokes overlaid
with strips of anchovies. The
wine was 1855 Liebfraumilch.
1t was very appetizing and
gave promise of things to
come.
II doubt that this sort
of thing can continue" said
a hotel man to the Rambler's
left.
There was a time when
hotels catered to the indi-
vidual. Now they are geared
to serve large groups-con-
ventions."

1T SEEMS TOO BAD to say
good-by to all this. But while
it lasts let's make the most
of it.
Everyone who has walked
along the west side of Thir-
teenth street NV. between
G and H streets knows Glenn
ent's pastry shop and the
marvellous splun-sugar deco
rationS on the cakes in the
window.
There was one a couple of
years ago entitled when
Knighthood Was in Flower"
The Rambler realizes that
there are more important
works of art in the National
Gallery. But he was dis
appointed on the day he
noticed that the temporary
achievement (spun sugar
doesn't last forever was no
longer in the window.
Clement, who looks like an
insurance man or a teacher
or an evangelical clergyman
or anyone else interested in
the welfare of his fellows,
was born in Northern Italy.
Eddie was born in Eastern
Germany in 1900 and looks
like a Billiken child of the
century. He has been at the
Shoreham 20 years, a length
of service which must be
especially surprising to him.
This hotel (the Sheraton
Carlton) is an exception"
continued the hotel man on
the Rambler'S left. "It can't
cater to conventions.
"It has less space for rooms
upstairs. So it must make
the most of everything, in
cluding the kitchen and the
dining room.
Look at the decor in this
room. We couldn't afford it."
That caused the Rambler
to look around. The man
was from one of the larger
and higher-priced hotels.
The room recently had been
decorated in blue and the
crystal chandeliers were i'm
pressive not as large as
those in the East Room Of
the White House but very
large and undoubtedly very
expensive.

Kidnop Rights?

Now Eichmann is the center Of
an international issue. BY what
right, asks Argentina, did Israeli
agents kidnap man on the SOW
ereign soil of Argentina and carry
him off? Under accepted usages in
international law, the Buenos
Aires authorities contend, Eich-
mann can be tried for his crimes
either by an international tribunal
or by the nation where the crimes
were committed-in this case,
Germany.
But Israel, with Eichmann
safely in hand, showed no inten-
ton of letting him get away
again. Jerusalem did not reply
to an official Argentine protest
last week which demanded Eich-
mann'S immediate return. Prior
to the protest, Israeli Premier
David Ben-Gurion had written to
Argentine President Frondfsi urg-
ing amicable settlement of the
case. But he stressed the moral
factors involved, and "the heavy
burden on the consciences of the
survivors, of Eichmann's slaugh-
ter program.
The Argentine notice to the
Security Council of impending
action repeatedly left Mr.. Ben
Gurion unperturbed. He was said
to feel that United Nations action
in the case would serve to drama
tie again the horrors of the Nazi

Civil Rights:
First Moves

The Justice Department last
week for the first time took
steps to seek appointment Of
voting referees under the Civil
Rights Act of 1860.
Although its efforts are not
likely to have any great effect on
the registration of Negroes in the
South for the November elections,
the Justice Department is moving
vigorously under terms of the new
Civil Rights Act.
On Tuesday, it filed suit in
Shreveport, La, in which it asked
the Federal Court there to order
the restoration Of the names Of
$50 Negroes to the voting rolls.
It was alleged that these names
had been removed as the result
of a Citizens Council drive. In
addition, the suit asked that a
referee be appointed by the court
to register other Negroes.
The Justice Department attor-
neys asserted that the March 81
registration in Bienville Parish
showed that STAB of 6,120 whites
of voting age were registered but
that only 26 of 4,475 Negroes were
listed.
The suit is perhaps the fore
runner Of many more. But until

HowHng Crowds

All day yesterday surging crowds
estimated at $50 900 ragged through
Tokyo'S streets, howled slogans
outside the American Embassy,
and stoned Premier Kishi's Of

Mr.. Hagerty. perhaps so accus-
toned to dealing with reporters
that a mere mob posed no prob
lens, appeared unperturbed by
his hour-long imprisonment at the
airport. After lengthy discus,
sions with Japanese Foreign Of
flee officials, he left Tokyo quietly
and safely yesterday to join the
Presidents party at Anchorage,
Alaska today.
The decision to carry out the
planned presidential visit was
taken last week. Whatever the
risks to Mr.. Eisenhower's person,
he and his advisers considered
United States prestige throughout
Asia to be at stake, and in the
Orient the danger of losing face"
is most important indeed. Premier
Kishi's government have assured
Mr.. Eisenhower that every pre-
caution will be taken to insure
maximum security, and almSst
the entire japanese press has
united in appealing for traditional
courtesy and respect.

The Negroes insist they owed
nothing. o. D. Maclin, who has

But all the Socialist members

Eichmonn:
II. N. Action?

Argentina notified the United
Nations Friday that she would
file a formal complaint against
Israel unless the fugitive NaZi
leader Eichmann was promptly
returned to BuenOS Aires.
When Hitler's notoriuS IS
ReichSfuehrer Heinrich Himmler
found what he called "the final
solution of the Jewish problem"
in 1912 he turned the operation
over to his deputy, Adolf Eich-
mann. With zeal and cold Ger
man efficiency, Eichmann put the
solution" into effect. From that
evil day until allied and Soviet
armies crashed into the Nazi
homeland and ended the thou
sand-year Reich" the gas cham
bers and the cremation ovens at
Auschwitz. Buchenwald, Belsen,

The Nazi solution" was indeed
final for an estimated six million
Jews, men, women and children
before the war ended. When the
Allies set about the task of bring
ing the murderers to justice, Eich-
mann was nowhere to be found.
But the search for him never
ceased, and last month his relent-
less purSuers caught up with him
at last.
Working tirelessly and systemat-
ically, Israeli agents for the last Is
years followed up every clue, ran
down every lead. Eichmann was

Much of the Aces SIS million
food program will go toward es-
tablishing the safety as well as
the nutritional value of irradiated
food. At present it looks as though
irradiation generally does no more
to destroy food nutrients than
other kinds of processing. More
work remains to be done, how
ever, on the extent of destruction
of vitamin K, the blood-clotting
element.
Once the proof of safety and
nutrition is established, there may
remain the further job of selling
consumers on the idea of eating
such food. Atomic scientists suS-
pect extensive human feeding
tests may be necessary to prove
their points to the public.
Food paSteurization on any
wide scale will necessitate an in
crease in the irradiators now
available. The latter are made
quate in size and characteristics
and generally are not close enough
to the source of supply or the
laboratory. Just for its research
the Acc already is preparing for
the design and construction of two
portable irradiators.
Will Move Carefully
The commission intends to move
carefully in permitting the use of
atomic materials by the food pro-
cesSing industry. Commissioner
John F. Floberg says each COM
pany would need a license and
would have to prove its COM
petence before obtaining it.
While the United States holds
undlsputed leadership, other colm-
tries are doing research on food
irradiation. They include Great
Britain, Russia, Australia, France,
Germany, Poland, Austria, Bel
gium, Denmark, Yugoslavia, Nor
way, Sweden and the Netherlands.
Italy, Greece, Iceland, India,
South Africa, Costa Rica, Argen-
tina and Japan are talking about
starting research.
Food pasteurization could be very
important to countries where food
processing is not advanced. Once
United States knowledge along
this line is acquired, Government
officials are talking of exporting it

gram.

Associated Press Stan Writer

SOMERVIlLE, 7 n, - The
question of Negro voting has
thrown this rural county into a
racial cold war, with angry whites
ffying to force 1000 Negroes to
move out by fall.
The chief weapon: economic
pressure, Feelings are so intense
here that some white farmers
mortgage their farms to replace
Negro labor with machinery. Some
merchants risk bankruptcy by re-
fusing to sell to Negroes.
Both sides feel they're battling
for a just cause.-the whites, who
own 80 per cent of this cotton
county, and the Negroes, who
want to vote. Neither intends to
compromise. And, unusual under
such circumstances, both sides are
willing to talk for publication,
some whites openly admitting that
q boycott is in force.
They have blacklist and a
crash program of farm mechani-
cation to help landlords do with
out Negro workers and tenants.
A White Citizens Council laid down
the strategy: force enough Ne
groes out of Fayette County and
eventually the white minority be-
comes the unchallenged majority
at the ballot box.
Connot Get Gasoline
AS a result, some Negroes can't
buy groceries or gasoline to run
their tractors. Credit, a way of life
in the rural South, is refused.
Tenant farmers have been told
to move on. Negro leaders say
their lives have been threatened.
Fayette County is "Old South"
country. It's about As miles east
OF Memphis on the Mississippi
border. The economic warfare
was touched off by campaig. to
register Negro voters-a prospect
that was more than the outnum-
bered whites could bear.
There are 24,415 inhabitants in
Fayette County. About so per cent
of these are Negroes and of these,
$50 have registered to vote. Most
signed up two months ago. The
initial registration list of 325
quickly became a blacklist, and
today relations between the races
in Fayette are strained, cold and
formal.
" A banker, who asked to remain
unidentified, put it bluntly:
MY secretary's got the names
Of the 325 who registered. I tell
them, anybody on that list, no
need coming into this bank. He'll
get no crop loans here. Every
stare has got that list"
Since then, 35 more Negroes
