months owing to alterations to
the building. resumed last night
with a recital by the 24-year-
old Brazilian pianist, Isabel
Mourao.
Miss Mourao is something of
a veteran despite her youth, as
she has been playing publicly
for a dozen years now in South
America, Europe and the
United States. That she is a
gifted instrumentalist was
made clear by the second half
Of the concert, which was en-

Unaccountably, things did
not go at all we'll before the

rao offered two taxing works
from the standard repertory
after a perfunctory warm-up
on Handel. The Schumann G
minor Sonata was played
without much warmth or con-

cious tempt. something that
was too plain in the Handel

The pianist appeared some

End of the Column

This is the first week day in more
than 36 years that Charles E. Tracewell's
column, This and That" has been
omitted from this page. The reason for
its omiSsion-his death yesterday on the
day following his list birthday-is the
only reason that Charlie Tracewell would
have accepted as valid. The column
was his life, and it is appropriate that
they end together. What went into his
column he took from the rather small
world he lived in. But it was world
Of his own. He reported the things he
found there and as he saw them His
observations brought interest, comfort,
inspiration or amusement to great
many readers who thanked him in thou
sands of letters, a stream of mail that
never ran dry. With these readers he
shared some of his eccentricitieS, his pref
udiceS, his fads in food or pills, his rich
knowledge and sophisticated taste for
books and music, genuine appreciation
(and no small gift at composition) of
poetry, his love and his own lore of the
birds and the beasts. We think these
readers will miss him. We know we shall.
He came to The Star some 46 years ago.
His loyalties, including those as an en-
ploye, were undivided. He was man of
character and conviction, the captain of
his own soul, and he left something to

Small Cloud Over Seoul

The CHEEKY word from our State
Department is that all'S we'll in South
Korea, and never mind the skulls that
were cracked in the recent "free" elec-
tions Maybe so. But American officials
in Seoul are not so sure.
They are concerned, according to an
Associated Press dispatch, that the new
Korean government, when it takes office,
may reduce the Korean army by some
5000 men. This would be consistent
with promises made by the victorious
Korean Democrats during the election
campaign which followed the overthrow
of Syngman Rhee. But a reduction Of
anything like zoe, 900 men in the 10000
man South Korean ground forces would
be very serious matter for us.
The Still-dangerous front in Korea is
being held by the South Korean ground
forces, some 10000 American troops and
two companies of Turks. This is all that
is left of the United Nations force which
fought the war. And the North Korean
Communists, from all reports, have been
building up their striking power. So,
UNDERSTANDABLE, our officials in Seoul are
concerned. If the South Korean army is
reduced by 100000 men, or more than
one-third, who will make up this deficit?
There are no U. NJ forces available. and
1t is most unlikely that the United States
will commit any more of its severely lin
tied ground forces to the Korean theater.

Keep the Siestu!

1t is rather unsettling to learn that
highly placed individuals in Madrid
leaders of government and labor-are
seeking to persuade the Spanish people
to do away with the siesta.
One Of the arguments being made
to that end may be summed up as fol-
lows: (1) Americans seldom spend more
than an hour at lunch, and they enjoy
the highest standard of living in the
world. (2) Spaniards, by way of con-
traSt, devote at least three hours to
eating and mapping every afternoon,
and they have precious little money to
spend. Accordingly (3), if they wish to
improve their material lot, they ought
to abolish the siesta forthwith.
If this argument may be described
as a SyllogiSm, we think it may also be
described as an enormous fallacy, like
the following classic example of syllogiS-
tic illogic: Q) All cows are mortal. (2)
Men are mortal. And (3) therefore cows
are men, or vice versa. Needless to say,
this is patiently ridiculous, and so is the
Spanish campaign to put an end to the
SieSta Although it is not part of our
American tradition, there is a great deal
to be said in favor of the afternoon nap
as thing that knits up the travelled
sleeve of care, and Spanish society is
the more charming for having followed
the custom for centuries past.
Too much change is going on in this
world too fast. Take it easy, Spain.

Quoting Lenin

Experts in the exegesis of Lenin's
works dispute the authenticity of a
quotation that Governor Rockefeller of
New York has been using recently to
point up his warnings about the armed
power and long-range obiectives of the
Kremlin.
The quotation represents Bolshe-
viSm'S chief saint as having declared,
decades ago, that Soviet Communists
must labor ceaselesSly at the task of
hoodwinking and lulling the West until
"by the employment of terror and it's
auxilaries-treaSon, perjury and the
negation of all truth-we shall reduce
humanity to a state of docile submission
to our domination" The exegeteS, how
ever, are virtually certain that these are
not Lenin's words, even though he
hardly could have objected to the senti-
ment implicit in them. At any rate, in
the opinion of David Shub, one of the
experts, 'thls is not in the style of Lenin.
He always talked in double-talk."
Even so, as excerpted from official
Soviet texts, the double talk is clear
enough. In one of these texts, for ex-
ample, we have Lenin saying, "We must
i. . resort to all sorts of strategems,
maneuyers, illegal methods, evasions and
SubterfugeS . and those political
leaders of the revolutionary class who
are unable to tack, to maneuver, to
compromise in order to avoid an obvi-
ously diSadvantageous battle are good
for nothing" And again: "The stricteSt
loyalty to the ideas of communism must
be combined with the ability to make all
the necessary compromises, to tack to
make agreements, zigzagS, retreats, and
so on, in order to accelerate the coming
into power of the Communists"
This is double-talk of a sort that
lends itself to easy translation: One
must lie, cheat, betray, kill and do what
ever else may be needed to promote the
greater honor and glory of the Kremlin.
The quotation used by Mr.. Rockefeller
may not be precise excerpt from the
feminist scriptures, but it undoubtedly
constitutes an accurate summation of
the Soviet spirit, past and present, in
relation to the free world.

Willie's Helping Hand

Willie Sutton's change of heart with
respect to his self-styled Helping Hand
Fund" for juvenile delinquentS and ex-
convictS should occasion no great sur
prise among those who are familiar with
the imprisoned bank robbers back
ground. Willie earned his sobriquet of
THE Actor" with good reason. Accord
ingly, many persons, especially in law
enforcement circles, were somewhat
Skeptical when the notorious New York
criminal announced his determination to
devote all his money and years in prison
to thescauSe of rehabilitating fellow law
breakers. .
In the first place, his newly assumed
role Of social reformer and philanthro-
pist was out of character for one who
had shown only contempt for the law
and its enforcerS since his boyhood days.
In the second place, Willie's much-publi-
cized reform plan was announced at a
propitiouS time-prior to his conviction
and sentencing to prison for a 30-year-
to-life term. If he expected the an
nouncement to bring him leniency, he
must have been disappointed.
The trust fund was set up with
money derived largely from Willie's hast
ily-written book, II, Willie Sutton, which
was designed to show that crime does
not pay. Sutton explained that he want
ed ito make amends" for his "transgreS-
SionS against society,"" But now the fund
is said to total about 100000, thanks to
royalties from television, newspaper and
magazine serialization rights. That is
Juicy sum, any way Willie looks at it,
Too juicy, he apparently believes, to be
wasted on juvenile or other hoodlumS.
So Sutton, now so years old, has in
Stituted suit to obtain full control of
the fund, which is managed by lawyer
trustees He has charged irregularities"
in the administration of the fund. He
wants the money to go to his daughter

linquent nor an eX-convict. We don't
know what the courts will say about all
this, but, as for us, we would not give

Rambler on 'Snobs'

We of the Classic Car Club
appreciate the attention paid
us by "The Rambler" on Au-
gust 2. However, there is one
serious error of fact that I
wish to correct.
The Classic Car Club is not
a snobbiSh" club, and the
ownership of a Classic car
is not a requirement for mem
bership. If Mr.. Kennedy had
read the quoted directory
more carefully, he would have
found the following: The
sole requirement for member
ship is a demonstrable in
terest in a Classic Car or
Cars"
1t is true that the Club
does specify what cars are to
be accepted as Classics" and
only these specified cars are
eligible for prize competition.
However, we have many
members who own no Classic
cars at all, and anyone who
is interested in Classics is al
ways welcome to join.
Perhaps this is not import
ant, but many of us feel that
in emphasizing "snobbiSh-
ness" basing his argument on
an incorrect assumption, The
Rambler has done us an in

Yankee Muneuver'

Addressing Communist backed
youth rally in Havana, Fidel Castro,
having just appropriated nearly 81 bill
lion OF American owned property, spoke
scornfully of next weeks meeting of the
Organization of American States. what
does it matter" he asked, "if OAS con-
demnS us? The revolution will 60 on.
The meeting is nothing more than
Yankee maneuver against Cuba"
The answer to Mr.. Castro'S question
is that condemnation by. the OAS would
matter great deal. 1t might not have
any great immediate effect in Cuba, al
though the mounting and openly-ex-
pressed concern of the Catholic church
over Communist inf1ltration of the
Cuban government must be a serious
matter for the Castro regime.
Where a fortnight condemnation
by the OAS of "the developing military
relations between Cuba and the Soviet
Union" would matter is throughout the
rest Of Latin America. Mr.. Khrushchev
can have but little interest in Cuba
alone. But he would be greatly inter-
ested in Cuba as beachhead to be used
for Communist expansion throughout
the Latin American countries.
That the Russian is enjoying some
success in this endeavor is self-evident.
Communists clearly are moving into
power in Castro's Cuba. We hepe the
OAS will strongly condemn this willing
ness to convert the Cuban revolution
into a tool of international communism.
If this is done the people of Latin
America will learn Of what is happening
in Cuba through an instrument of heir
own governments, and Mr.. CaStrot fall

The most significant thing
about the student sit-in

VIS7AS IN SCIENCE
Eyes Must Overtoke Supersonic Age
By THOMAS r. HENRY

1t takes time to see some
thing-as much as a tenth
of a second for an object 300
feet directly in front.
Although seeing" seems
instantaneous, some interval
is required for the retina of
the eye to receive light
waves, for the nerve path
ways to transmit them back
to the seeing area of the
brain, and for these to re-
transmit them to the eye.
To see an object on the
sides. requiring eye move
ments and pupil adjustments,
may require as long as a
second and a half.
This ordinarily has no
significance, but for a man
in a plane at Supersonic
speeds it leads to some queer
situations. In the tenth of
a second required to see a
stationary object 100 yards
ahead, it actually would be
even with the plane, or even
behind ones back at the in
slant it was seen.
This is reported to the
Midwest section of the
American Psychiatric Associ-
alton by 1t. Col. Bernard
E. Flaherty and his as
sociates of the Aerospace
Medical Center at Brooks
Field. Tex.
Organs Not Supersonic
Mans sense organs" Col.
Flaherty said, were not built
to function at supersonic
speed. Perception, as such,
requires time. When we con-
slider the vast distances COW
cred, it becomes practically
important during supersonic
flight although it consumes
only a fraction of a second.
This deficiency in our
sense organs demands that
we have mechanical aid for
supersonic fight. This in
cludes use of telescopes, peri
scopes and radar to increase
the range of perception by
pulses travelling at least as
fast as the speed of light.
