The money was raised March

American relations with

African diplomats in the Wash

Department official says.
Assistant Protocol CHIEF
Pedro Sanjuan. speaking over
television station WTOPs
"Cityside." scheduled for broad
cast today, said civil rights is
the most important problem
affecting our relations with
other nations in this decade.
He added that the difficulty
Of finding homes for African
and Asian diplomats stationed
in Washington cannot be sepa-
rated from the broad problem
Of civil rights.
Mr.. Sanjuan said Washing
ton real estate men, particular
ly Frank Luchs, of Shannon &
Luchs, have done a great deal
on their own to alleviate the
problem Of housing colored
diplomats. But he added that
Washington needs an open oc-
cupancy law that would forbit
housing discrimination because
of race or creed.
Mr.. Sanjuan said discrimi-
nation against diplomats crops
up in other areas Of the Ma
ton, but that recent incidents
along Route 40 in Maryland
are spotlighted because Mary
land is a main thoroughfare
between Washington and New
York.

A Note on Reading

Reading, in a sense, is more
important than speaking. One
might endure q lifetime Of con-
versation and hear nothing but
the dull and the firing. Type.
however, is rarely dull; and
when 1t Is, it may be discarded
more rapidly than one can stride
out Of q room. The test comes
in disciplining oneself to put
aside q book or q paper. After
all, there is q penalty for the
pleasant vice Of reading until
all hours.
The addiction may be formed
early. Picture books are also
reading books. Fairy tales, THE
Boys Book Of Heroes" the Rover
Boys and their successors If any.
can be as intriguing as the clas-
sizes. Then there is the challenge
Of the family bookshelves or, for
that matter, Of the movie maga-
ines. It is deplorably easy to
move from dragons to sirens.
The trap lies in the indiscrimin-
ate reading Of every thing that

surprisingly successful launch

naut Scott Carpenter is ready to
duplicate Col. Glenn's three orbit
flight, in mid-May. One or two
similar flights viii follow, then
will begin in q series of l8-orbit
manned flights. Starting in 1868,
the two-man Gemini Spacecraft
will orbit for up to two weeks.
The Apollo three-man space
craft viii be next, keeping crews
in orbit for several weeks. BY 1866
one of the vehicles is expected to
circle the moon and the follow
ing year land on 1t.
Explorer Satellites
A whole series of instrumented
moon packages also win probe the
moons surface, sending back tele-
vision pictures and samples of

Nowhere Is the japanese mar

Atami is the French Riviera
with cherry blossoms. Neighbor-

near Fujiama.
This is where rich Tokyo In

Dip in Boiling Pool
Replete in our Mikado robes,
we strobe to the communal pool.
I fully expected it to be coed; but
no, this was the new Japan. We
were discreetly segregated.
The basic routine was tradi-
tional. First we soaked in the
steaming mineral water. Then we
climbed out, soaped UP beside lit
tie faucets around the periphery,
and rinsed by filling wooden
buckets and dumping them over
our heads. Finally We returned
to the near-boiling water.
This is essentially the way 1t
has been done for centuries. But
there was q twist. You didn't
really need the buckets and the
faucets. Overhead was a wholly
modern shower. The japanese in
our party used it: the Americans
used the buckets.
If the honor of America had
not been at stake, I doubt If
