Edwin Arlington Robinson,
the poet, who was a mel
ancholy man, saw many per-
sons in the goth century as
"bewildered children in a
kindergarten, all trying to
spell God with the same
blocks"
One thinks of that as the
somber shadow of the sun
less summit falls across the
world, leaving a bewildered
people in the Western ma
tions all trying to spell peace
with the same inadequate
blocks.
1t is disturbing that a sort of
plaintive note rises from the
Western countries. 1t is dis
turbing because plaintiveneSs
is not enough. The Russians
are hungry and are promised
much.
They are. in our time, the
closest thing to the Goths
and Vandals who came over
the walls of Rome. They
have satellites weighing five
tons rowing the skies, obeying
laws and forces as old as
creation.
There is the hunger of
Russian people in those mar
vels of science and machines.
There is in them, too. the
discomfort of crowded hous-
ing. Lack of clothing. of con-
sumer comforts, of the good
life, of creature comforts, is
jammed in there with the
dummy man. He has lots of
company. The ordered sacri-
fees of the Russian people
ride all the satellites. The
people did not choose. 1t was
calculated for them. Their

about a State Department ship

bassy at Canberra, Australia.
of $4,000 Virginia bricks that
cost five times as much as
Australian bricks.
Representative Hays. Demo-
crat of Ohio, said the transac-
ton makes no sense to him. He
is waiting for a promised in
veStigation by UnderSecretary
of State 10y w. Henderson.
The arrangement - as de-
scribed at a hearing of Mr..
Hays Foreign Affairs subcom-
mittee-was as follows;
The bricks we're bought from
the Glasgow (Va.D Brick Co. FOR
building a wing to the Embassy
at Canberra. The bricks cost
S15,208 and the Transportation
cost $22,614 more, for a total of
S37.822.
That, Mr.. Hays figured, is
more than Is cents brick. III
said Australia makes them fol
little under 4 cents each.
Asked why, VILLA m P
Hughes. director of the State
Departments Office of foreign
buildings, said the Embassy at
Canberra had reported the Aus,
tralians could not match the
bricks in the original structure
"All these arguments don't
stand up very we'll with me
Mr.. Hughes, for the simple rea-
son that the original bricks
we're made in Australia" Mr
Hays replied.
Mr. Hays also expressed in,

main confidential" Mr.. Ehr-
Itch said.
Mr.. Stevas answered that
Sweeney was of a different
faith and that the law pro-
vided that the privilege Of
secrecy was limited to priests
or ordained ministers.
Nuns Status Cited
The Catholic Church does not
ask for such a privilege for its
nuns, Mr.. Stevas pointed out.
He added that the talks were
held before the alleged murder
and therefore the grand jury
only sought information about
the defendants state of mind
OF intent, rather than a con-
fession of crime.
But the judge disagreed,
after learning from the woman
that the talks had been con-
fidential and that their content
had not been related to anyone
else.
There is no District statute
on the subject, but the Court
of Appeals here has ruled that
priests and ministers have the
privilege. Legislation is pending
in the Senate to provide a
written law here with the same
approach.
The woman had been SUBJ
poenaed before the grand jury
last Wednesday and refused to
answer the questions on advice
of counsel.
Earlier. Judge Let's granted
a motion to let a Government
appointed pSychiatrist examine
Sweeney in the District Jail

Mr.. Ehrlich had objected that
the examination would inter-

uled by a psychiatrist retained

GIN 10 Build
ewCompacts

WILMINGTON, Del, May 81
(AP). - General Motors has
confirmed it will introduce
three new smaller cars this fall
the Buick Special, OldSmo-
bile F-85. and Pontiac Tempest.
These new models repre-
sent significant advance over
anything our competitors have
offered in the smaller car field.
GIN Board Chairman Frederic
G. Donner told the annual
meeting of stockholders yester-
day.
The Special. F-85 and Tenn
pest join Chevrolet'S Corvair-
the only rear-engine model
among the four. which was in
troduced last year-in GINS
small car line. This indicates
that Americas biggest auto
maker intends to try to cut
deeply into this end of the
market, long dominated by
American Motors Rambler and
foreign imports.
Mr.. Donner had little to say
about the three new smaller
cars in a lengthy speech to
over 1000 stockholders assem-
bled at the Buick -OldSmobile-
Pontiac assembly plant. 1t was
the largest gathering of share
holders in the firms history. All
told, over 100000 persons own
GIN stock.
Mr.. Donner noted that Cor
vair'S 1861 line will have more
body styles. 1t is expected that
Corvair will come out with a
wagon and convertible to add
to its two and four door models.
Industry sources said the
Special. the F-85 and the
Tempest - all six-passenger
size-will be powered by alu-
minum engines and will range
from about $4,000 for the Pom
tiac to around $500 for the
little Buick and OldS, stripped.
GIN declined to confirm this.

Fec Requests
CheckupSquad
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Communications
Commission has asked for
money to put rs specialists on
the road, constantly checking
on radio and television stations
to see that they live up to their
obligations to the public.
FEC Chairman Frederick w.
Ford yesterday outlined the
plan for a complaints and COM
pliance division, to be set up
June /. He asked the Senate
Appropriations Committee for
100000 to operate the new Of
flee for year.
Mr.. Ford recently took over
as head of the FEC from John
C. Doerfer, who resigned under
fire for accepting lavish hos
pitality from the owner of a
chain or television stations.
Mr.. Ford'S action in setting
up the new division appeared
to be an attempt to do some
thing about the abuses uncov-
cred in the radio-television in
dustry by congressional COM
mittees.
He said the FEC gets 120 to
$50 complaints a week about
broadcasts. Heretofore t h e
practice has been to put them
in the file of the station con-
Icerned for review when its Ii
Icense came up for renewal. In
the 25-year history of the FEC,
no station license has been re-
voked for reasons of perform
ance.
| Mr.. Ford said in the future
I'VE must be able to send
trained staff directly into the
field to dig up the essential
facts-objectively and thor
oughly."
The 25 specialists will moni-
tor stations TO see "how effec-
lively stations discharge their
stewardship in the public in
terest," Mr.. Ford said. If
abuses are uncovered. remedial
action will be required"

Alliance, Turning Into q Symbol,

NATO was rapidly becom-
ing a symbol rather than a
militant force. Mr.. Khru-
shchev changed all that over
night. Our European friends,

incensed at the insulting be-
havior of the Red boor to-

their own head of state had

existence and neutralism
went out the window. The
atmosphere of good fellow
ship which the willy Rus
sian had been able to create
by his visits abroad and his
homely behavior was dissi-
pated. Mr.. Khrusnchev has
shown himself and the con-
spiracy which he directs in
its true light.
The NATO regained life
and is expected to gain
momentum in the months to
come unless we commit new
blunders.
The question now heard is:
What next; what will
KhruShchev and his cohorts
do in the near future?"
1t is in the cards that Mr..
Khrushchev eventually will
extend recognition to the
East German puppet govern
ment. According to reliable
information he was warned
by President de Gaulle when
he bade farewell that If there
is any interference with
communication lines to West
Berlin, French tanks will
pillow into the former German
capital.
At this time it appears
highly unlikely that anything
more than a stepped-up cold
war will take place in Europe.
This does not apply, however,
to the Far East where an ac-
tive aggression is an increas-
ing possibility. According to
available reports the Chinese
Communists urged Mr.. Khru-

Inc free world alliance
which had begun to burst at
the seams in the last few
years because of faltering
policies of the Big Three is
being restored in its determi-
nation to resist the onslaught
of international communism.
But instead of remaining un-
der American leadership it
will be headed by the triumvi-
rate of America, Britain and
France.
Nikita KhruShchev's in
Sulting behavior and brutal

senhower did the trick. He
chose this time because he

an opening to administer the

Britain reduced her armed

Kirby. Englewood, N. j.
Answer: "Sawney" was orig
inally a British term - used
derisively - meaning Scots
man." In time, and this per-
haps reflects the low state of
British-Scottish relations dur
ing the 18th Century, it came
to mean "simpleton."
Later, through a process
known to language students as
"reduplication," the adjective
"souney-sawney" was created,
meaning simply foolish. "
Other examples of this redupli-
cation process are words like
chit chat" "helter skelter'
and "harum- scarum.

Evosive Answer?

Mr.. Broyhill says that the
only issue, in his campaign,
is his record and to "look
at it." Whenever any Con-
gresham evades some dues-
tion by that reply to "look
at the record" he surely
must know that the aver
age person does not even
know where to look for said
record. Are there other rec
ords besides the Congress
sional Record? And how
many people know where or
how to get the Congressional
Record? And having gotten
the c. R. who is going to read
that bulky book, every day,
in order to doublecheck on
one Congressman?
Congressman who are
quick to proclaim "look at
the record" are fully aware
also that the wheeling and
dealing they indulge in nev-
er gets in "the Record.
