SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
| SolennIy Swear
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
CHAPLAIN Of the United States Senate

Unnumbered multitudes
under all skies on January 20
had sound-wave tickets to
attend the inaugural Of the
35th President Of the United
States-the youngest man
ever to be elected to this
high office. Literally all ma
tions were gathered before
the white canopied stand in
front of the dazzling dome
Of the restored and rebur-
nished Capitol Of the Re-
public.
On this January day more
humans heard the voice of
one individual than ever
before in history. Following
the "swearing-in" the presi-
dental message engirdling
the globe had in 1t, backing
the goodwill to all men it
proclaimed, o granite deter

breath Of America. The
broadcast to the listening
world was Q firm announce
ment that democratic ideals
will be maintained at all

The polished marble of the
pillars which have replaced
the crumbling sandstone sup
ports, In front Of which the
new President stood as he
took the oath Of office, en-
during columns drawn from
the resources Of our own soil,
Is a parable Of Americas will
to thwart the termites Of
ruin whose objective Is to
utterly destroy the temple Of
our freedom.
When one man out Of
180 million. chosen by his
countrymen, standing by the
Holy Book declares. "I sol-
emnly swear" he is but the
spokesman Of q united Re-
public pledging undying devo-
ton and eternal vigilance to
what America means at its
best to men everywhere
struggling to be free.

Folly Of Disorming

This Is to express the hope.
prompted by the letter Of
David Zwerdling, q member
Of the Montgomery Blair
High School UN Club, that
we will forget disarmament
and any peace" we might
get as the result Of q dis
armament agreement, until
such time as Russia has a
government we can trust,
whose word will be worth
something, and to propose
that we concentrate our ef-
forts on making America
strong. so strong militarily
that no country or combina-
ton Of countries viii dare
venture to attack us.
Also make America strong
morally and economically and
In the expression Of those
human values we all profess
In one way or another.
Trying to do business with
the Communists Is q waste
Of time. money and effort.
We do not want or need
their cooperation or CONVEX
sation. There Is too much to
be done right here in our own
back yard. The very best
thing we can do to meet the
Communist challenge we all
know Is sure to come sooner
or later is to clean up that
back yard and make this "in-
destructible" union. as Sal

I suggest to Mr.. Zwerdling,
and the members of the
Montg mery Blair High
School, United Nations Club,
Silver Spring. Maryland, that
before contemplating running
the Government, in 20 or 80
years. that they concern
themselves with the task Of
acquiring an education. I.
would recommend history,
particularly the history OF
aggressor versus appeasor
nations - Rome, Carthage,
World War I. World War II.
I would also suggest that
these young people take a
closer look at their World
Court. In order to reduce
tension among nations, there
must be a genuine desire on
the part Of all nations. The
United Nations. or World
Court. cannot instill this de-
sire. it must come from with
in.
There are various political
groups who demand that the
United States lay down her
arms. Among them are the
Communist Party, USSR;
Community Party. China;
Communist Party. U. s. A.
No one is opposed to genuine
mutual disarmament, but God
help the United States II we
disarm and the Communist
countries do not.
Robert E. Cammack
1t is with deep concern that
I reply to David Zwerdling's
letter. Like socialism, dis
armament looks like a mar
velous plan on paper, but put
1t into practice, and you have
the basis for a well-meaning.
pathetic tragedy. To the
laymen disarmament means
peace; Utopia:a present-day
unattainable state. But the
Communists think differ
emily. To them, disarma-
ment means a new horizon
for communistic domination
over the free peoples Of the
world. Disarmament is a
dream that perhaps our
grandchildren may realize.
This country should quit
coddling pacifists, Socialists,
pSeudo-liberalS, and free
thinking high school stu
dents: none Of whom would
recognize a real live Com
munist If he waved a red
flag under their noses. Amer
lea should wakeup and be
prepared to be willing to
undergo any sacrifice to pre-
serve our continent and our
way Of life. which I, for cne,
cherish and am willing to
risk death and destruction to
mote our wonderful,
democratic ideals.

But the wheel of fortune turns
slowly. After -Four Below" Nancy
was cast in British comedy, Lock Up
Your Daughters" 1t closed in Boston.
She sang at the Blue Angel night club
for three weeks, then returned to stock.
But Messrs Merrick and Green had
not forgotten her. Last fall they audi
toned her for the role of "Tilda" in
DO Re Mi" and the part was hers for
the taking. Only trouble was, she also
had won a role in Wild Cat" and the
choice between the two shows was not
easy. She finally picked DO Re Mi

could sing the way Julie Styne likes,
which isn't easy to do"
Nancy and her husband Jim live
in a re-converted brOwnStone in the
East SOS, furnished in a mixtures of
contemporary and Italian provincial.
Jim is an advertising executive, and
their time together is usually limited
to luncheon (he comes home), dinner
and Sundays, Nancy's one day off.
Entertaining is at minimum, mostly
due to lack of time. Nancy still takes
voice lessons several times week and
also works with pianist, an old friend
from college and offBroadway days.
Nancy'S future plans call for some
recording, more television and family.
I'VE hope to have one soOn," she
says, but plan to keep on working as
much as possible"

That night Nancy was called to
addition the next day for a new off
Broadway revue. She got the part, a
plum role in Diversions" which won
the top award for off-Broadway shows
that year.
1t was through her appearance in
this show that Nancy signed with an
agent-"the first important step for
anyone, and one of the hardest" she
says. This is because you cannot
addition for big show unless you
are submitted by an agent but how can
an agent see you perform until you
are in a show? Cad, it's confusing"
When Diversions closed, Nancy
did brief stint in the revival of Street
Scene" with the New York City Opera.
My agent kept sending me to additions,
and kept finding out was too old,
too young, too big, too small" she
recalls.
She finally got into another Off
Broadway show, "Dr. Willy-Nilly,'
directed by Alfred Drake. But this
production, too, was Short-IlVed, ana
Nancy began another series of summer
stock and City Center work
Then came the beginning Of the big

in intimate revues of comical nature.

days that Nancy was star material"
says Ira o. Beatty, father of two OF
Nancy's closest high-school friends.
And Mr.. Beatty knows something about
star material: the school chums are now
show-b business headlinerS Shirley Mac
Laine and Warren Beatty.
During her senior year, 1858.
Nancy won kudos as the lead in "Briga-
doom" (her first show, took first place
in the Lions Clubs Bland Memorial
Contest, and was cited as the best
actress of the year in the yearbook.
At Northwestern University, Nancy
was featured in the lavish annual
revue, the WAMU show; starred in
opera workshop productions of "Trou-
BILE in Tahiti" and Carmen" and ap-
peared twice as soloiSt with the Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra. In addition,
she was vice president of her sorority.
Tri-Delta, studied and taught ballet,
and on Senior Day was selected dean
of the music school"
After graduation and four summers
in stock work at Highland Park. ILL.,,
and Cohasset, Mass, Nancy began her
assault on New York in early 1858
With two Stage-Struck college chums.
she moved into brOwnstone front
on Central Park West. found herself a
vocal coach and enrolled in an opera
workshop at Queens College. The work
shop was directed by George Schlck'
whom Nancy knew when he was an as
sistant conductor of the Chicago Sym
phony, and who now is an associate
conductor of the Metropolitan Opera.

Il really can't imagine people
coming to New York to work in the
theater without knowing someone"
Nancy says My contacts were my
biggest help OF course, once you're
recommended, you're on your own.
Because she had some money saved
up, Nancy was not forced into the
usual plight of the would-be actress:
taking full-time job to support herself
and thus having no time to study or
make all-important rounds. 1t was
situation Nancy calls lovely" .
She did find church-singing job
which paid cash, and in the late spring
she auditioned for and got the role
of "Dulcie" in the Cherry Lane Theatre
production of The Boy Friend
That summer she toured with the show
through Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and upstate New York.
1t got to be bit tiring and bit
boring" she recalls. But it had this
advantage-I was working, always
before different audiences and always
learning a bit more"
Just as she was beginning to make
known the name of Nancy Dussault,
she changed it - OffStage, that iS-to
Mrs. James D. Travis.
Nancy met Jim while she was in
college and he was stationed in Chicago
with the Navy They were married here
in October, 1858, and flew back to New
York the evening of their wedding
day. Jim was beginning new job and
they had to move into their apartment
over the weekend.
