AUTOMATICALLY SPEAKING
Some ENJOYS In Quandary Over Cutaway

Ambassador On Sein is aban-
doning his national costume
in favor Of the cutaway.
This win be his first, AM
bassador on Sein said, and
he's having it made. He added
that he was rather sur
prised by President elect
Kennedy's choice of outfit
because the Americans have
q reputation for being ter
ribly informal in their dress"
Talking about his cutaway.
the Burmese envoy was re-
minded of an episode from
Chester Bowles' book, "Am-
bassador's Report" When Mr..
Bowles was preparing to pre-
sent his credentials in India,
he dug out his old dress suit.

the striped trousers were too
tight. Another ambassador in
the corps kindly offered to
lend him q pair. Mr.. Bowles
accepted and the problem
was settled.
However. when the day ar
rived, Mr.. Bowles made an
appalling discovery. His col
leagues striped pants were
too snug. too.
So what did he do? HE
wore them anyway" Ambas-
sador On Sein concluded, "but
he hardly breathed."
Soviet Ambassador Menshi-
kov has a bemedaled and

bassadorial uniform" which
he wears to formal functions

saying what he'd don for the
Inauguration. He had to wait.

what would be the appropri-
ate dress for an equivalent"
occasion in the Soviet Union,
the spokesman replied, I'VE

Other Worries
The matter Of dress may
concern the ENJOYS. but the
protocol officials have other
things to fret about--such aS
precedence, timing and space.

President-elect Kennedy's
decision to wear q top hat
and cutaway suit for his
Inauguration. O decision made
weeks ago, still has some for
eign Ambassadors scratching
their htows.
The question is, what are
THEY going to wear?
AL chiefs of missions here,
including those accredited to
the Organization Of Amer
ican States, are expected to
attend the Inauguration at
the Capitol this Friday, q
luncheon at the Presidents
Guest House Immediately
after the ceremony and the
Inaugural Parade that will
follow. Their wives are in
cluded In the invitation.
In December the State
Department sent q circular
to each of the ambassadorial
couples informing them. in
. general way. Of their par
ticipation in the inaugural
activities. The circular said
nothing about dress.
A Guide. Not an Order
Late last week the Protocol
Office was preparing to send
out q second notice. this one
giving more details, including
. fun description Of Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy's inaugu-
raj outfit. According to q
protocol official, however,
the description was to serve
as q guide to the ENJOYS
not as an order.
And there's the rub. A
spot-check of the Ambassa-
dors revealed that what many
are waiting for is a nice,
clear-cut command on the
subject.
Those diplomats with
cutaways in their closets
have no problem: They can
follow suit.
But among the 100 or so
foreign ENJOYS here are q
number Of Africans and
Asians (even Eastern Euro
peans. such as the Soviet
Ambassador who have their
own national costumes for
formal occasions. Some have
never worn q cutaway In
their lives.
The dean Of the diplo-
matte corps. Nicaraguan
Ambassador Sevilla Sacasa,
means to wear a cutaway and
will so inform his colleagues.
That should throw the hesi-
tant ones into further doubt.
Must they copy him?
The Protocol Office, the
dean and a local authority
on etiquette all say no.
Formal national dress Is per-
fectly proper.
Problem Of Climate
But the African and Asian
costumes are mostly light
weight, intended as they are
for warmer climates, and the
Ambassadors would risk
double pneumonia during the
long outdoor parade.
Nigerian Ambassador
Udochi has that one figured
out. Underneath his flowing
robes, which he means to
wear, he'll be insulated with
q layer .of Western woolens.
Ghana's Ambassador Hahn

'skente," . toga-like garment
Of woven cotton, but he didn't
say how he intends to keep
warm.

TESTING RESUMED

TESTING RESUMED
WHEN THE SOVIET UNION announced that it has
resumed testing Of atomic devices, the world was rocked to
its very foundations. The positive neutraEst' meeting in
Belgrade, spoke out against it. Cries went up everywhere that
the resumption Of testing would bring on an arms race the
end of which might not be in sight. Yet, it was a fact, fully
acccmplshed-the Russians unilaterally did begin testing,
THIS IS NO SIMPLE MATTER. No part Of the world
is safe, or secure. It follows that if Russia starts, then the
United States will follow. France is known to have a bomb.
and Israel also may have joined the nations possessing this
deadly weapon. And as time passes other nations will have
it, for the know-how is no longer confined to chosen few
H REASON FOR the attempt to withhold further
testing is twofold. First, it cuts down the arms race, with its
heavy burdens, and also reduces the great temptation to use
that which is at a nations command in abundance. Second,
it reduces the dangers to mans health by fall-out. Russia
itself had said on many occasions that it would not, of itself.
begin testing again, and MI. Khrushchev himself had said
publicly that if ANYBODY would start first it would be the
United States.
BUTTO THOSE who have followed the clear and plain
strategy, of the Soyets the announcement, once the initial
shock was over, falls correctly into place. Convinced Of its
own power, and the its Self-made destiny to rule the world
the Soviet Republic cannot resist the temptation to dangle
the power of the bomb. Since Berlin did not 90 all the way
the Russians wanted it to 60, they are now convinced that
they must take it at all cost. They may not intend to drop the
bomb, but that is a chance which no sane person can take
THIS LAST MOVE, however, places Russia in the most
unfavorabe light it has been IN since Hungary, when women
and children were shot down in the streets of Budapest, and
the promise for conferences were brutaly betrayed. The world
and particularly the neutral nations, is seeing Russia for what
it really is Public opinion is perhaps Of little concern to the
communists. What they want is their objective, and once they
get it nothing else matters. Once in full power and control
then they can also control public opinion, Or wipe it out
altogether,

Einar Bergh,
Norwegian ATS.
Exchange Student,
Arrived Saturday

An erudite young Norwegian,
who celebrated his eighteenth
birthday just before leaving for
the United States as an Amer
ican Field Service exchange
student, is now in Smyrna and
will attend the John Bassett
Moore High School. He will
stay at the home of MIR. and
Mrs. Guy M. Edmondson, Jr.,
and was met by the family
when he arrived in Delaware
last Saturday. Einar Bergh, of
Oslo, Norway, left by chartered
plane with about l30 students
last Thursday, and arrived in
New York after seven hours
and forty-five minutes, singing
and playing musical instru-
ments, and having fun" Green
land was a lovely sight from
the air, he said, and it was
clear when they flew over Can
ada. He was impressed by the
lights at night over New York,
by the height of the buildings
there, and the broad streets.
The group of students stayed
at the Hotel Shelburne, and
''the ATS took good care of
u.s." he said. Adept in langu-
ages, he will have the advant-
age over local students, having
had two years of French, stud
led German, and speaks perfect
English. He is well up on the
lively arts; likes theatre, films,
and especially music. He was
glad to see the film, Can Can in
Smyrna Monday night as he
had missed it in Norway. They
have no drive-ins in Norway,
but have theatres in Oslo where
the big spectaculars may be
seen, such as are shown only
in large cities in the United
States. Einar says he likes be-
ing in a small town, and referr-
ed to many letters he had from
Smyrna before he left home,
and felt that he knew the peo-
pie here. The other ATS stud
ents in the group had not had
letters of welcome as he had.
