Mr.. Kennedy's speech was q
response to Mr.. Khrushchev'S
threats at their Vienna meet
ing the month before that Mos
COW would end allied occupation
rights in West Berlin by the
end Of the year through a sepa-
rate peace treaty with East
Germany.
In his speech, Mr.. Khru-
shchev told the United States,
Britain and France:
Lets sit down around a ia
BILE and negotiate in an honest
way. Let's not create hysteria.
Let's clear the atmosphere.
Let's rely on sense and not on
the strength of thermometer
weapons"
No Change in Demands
But the Soviet Premier Of
fered no change in his previous
demands which the Western
allies have rejected.
He again insisted East Ger
many must have a peace treaty
to achieve complete sover-
eighty and that the issue of
access routes to Berlin would
then have to be settled directly
with the Communist East Ger
man regime, which the West
does not recognize.
Mr.. Khrushchev stresse d
anew that 1--WE do not intend
to infringe upon any lawful
interests Of the Western pow

Berlin. any blockade Of West
Berlin, is entirely out of sthe
question"
But his insistence that the
military occupation of the di-
vided city must end indicated
he did not intend any such
guarantees tor the II, ,000-man
allied garrison, the symbol of
Western protection for the city.
Speaking in a moderate tone,
Mr.. Khrushchev said Mr.. Ken
nedy displayed common sense
in wishing to avoid war but
added that expressions of COM
mon sense are not enough.
Crushing Blow Promised
The Soviet Union will strike
a crushing blow at the terri
tory of the United States" and
at United States overseas bases
and Americas allies If wal

calling last months American

Moscow on Berlin, the Russian
leader commented:

NEW YORK, Aug. B CAPl. -
Music lovers reacted in sombel
tones to the announced closing
of the Metropolitan Opera fol
the 1852 season and the
cancellation of the Nets an
nual spring tour of America.
Words like disgrace" anc
'irreparable blow" came from
some of the worlds greatest
opera singers. One appealed
directly to President Kennedy
to help settle the labor dispute
which the Met blamed for the
closing.
More optimistic patrons o
the arts recalled, however, thai
there were two other an
nounced cancellations in re-
cent years which never went
into effect. Labor troubles
blamed then, too, were SUBJ

here are treating the Brazilian
delegation with kid gloves.
Many delegates are fast ar
irving at the conclusion that
the most important political
result of the conference may
be the clear emergence of Bra

. phefe with the United States
Mr.. Mariani said Brazil is in
complete agreement" with the
American approach to the con-
ference.
Mariana Lauds Offer
In his formal speech today,
Mr.. Mariana praised the United
States offer of aid and warned
that grave dangers have arisen
in the Southern Hemisphere
because of its poverty and
population explosion.
"Our apprehension over the
East-West conflict is justified, !"
Mr.. Mariani said, "but it would
be imprudent to ignore that
the tension between the North
ern Hemisphere and the South
ern Hemisphere is perhaps
even more crucial.
He and other delegates pick
two main points in Mr.. Dillon's
speech to praise:
l. Naming of a definite fig

Latin America can expect in

@, The American decision to

ceptions were topnotch and so
well cast that they didn't seem
to be acting.
Elyce Melmon, as the wife,
and Lou Ellen Fee, as the sex
pot, were extremely well cast
but their obvious inexperience
and their lack of projection
were the only flaws in a near
perfect production. During some
of their scenes the action
dragged and lacked theatrical
fire. However, these two very
attractive women are welcome
additions to the group, and
more experience will certainly
add polish. The setting designed
by Clyde Hardin and Tom
Kelley was flawless.
The next production, "Sum.
mer and Smoke" is awaited
with great interest. A revival
lied group and a good director
finally have a truly fine play to
work with. 1t shouldn't be

Friday, November II, was a
memorable night for the Rock

on that evening this valiant
group finally came of age and
presented a truly fine produc-
ton of Wolcott Gibbs comedy,
Season In The Sum-" judged
by any standards. There were
many, many fine performances
and technical contributions, but
the undoubted star of the eve
ming was Frank Barnhart, the
director.
Too often, i'm many little the
alter groups the role of the di-
rector is a muted one and al
most an after thought. 1t is a
job accepted without full knowl-
edge of the responsibility in.

uaIs with no training and little
aptitude. AS a result, parts are
often cast with friends rather
than for ability and rightness
for the part. If this has been a
problem with the Rockville
Little Theatre in the past, it is
happily ancient history now; for
Mr.. Barnhart has set standards
of production which would be
the envy of any little theatre
group in the area. 1t is obvious
Mr.. Barnhart is a professional
theatre man in the true sense
of the word.

Activities
On Alcohol
Revealed

In view of the fact that
the National Council on
Alcoholism and the Mont
gomery County Council has
proclaimed the week of No
vember 26 through Deem
Der 3 as Alcoholism Educa-
ton Week, DR.. William j.
Peoples, County Health Off
Ger, announced today the
alcohol education and treat
ment services of the Mont
gomery County Health De-
partment.
1.-THE Montgomery County
Health Department has avail
able educational films, litera-
ture and can provide speakers
for programs on alcoholism. The
Division of Mental Health oper-
ates an Alcohol Clinic which is
held in the County Office Build
ing in Rockville every Saturday
from 8 to II am. Appointments
or information concerning this
clinic can be obtained by calling
PO. 2-2121, Ext. 425 Monday
through Friday. On Saturdays
call Pc. 2-4322. Information con-
corning educational programs or
literature can be obtained by
calling Pc. 2-2121, Ext. asa.
Contrary to general belief"
DR.. Peoples said, "the great ma
jority of the alcoholic popula.
ton of 5,015,000 in the United
States is not the visible skid
row type of alcoholic found in
the Monday morning line-ups, in
the jails and in the city hos
pitals." Some 81 per cent of all
alcoholics are to be found in the
homes, factories, offices and
communities of America; they
still have families and are still
employable. Alcoholism is fast
becoming one of the county's
greatest public health problems.
The health officer urged citi-
zens of Montgomery County to
avail themselves of these COM
munity services concerning the
prevention and control of alco-
holism not only during Alcohol
ism Information Week, but as a
continuing educational program.

keeper looked like one rather

noticeable in the costumes,
which were so right and yet so
theatrically effective, and such

These points, all taken for

What makes the success of

Is the fact that all this was done
on a not very good play. When
