Frosted Meat Loaf
A Pleasant Surprise

When you bring a beauti-
fully frosted cake to the
table for the main course,
your family and friends may
think that the fall air has
gone to your head. But when
you begin slicing it and they
discover it's a meat loaf
frosted with light mashed
potatoes, they'll realize that
you're not only entirely sane
but full of good ideas.
The flavor secret Of meat
loaf lies in the basic mixture.
Choose your seasonings with
care-mustard, pepper and
thyme make a well-asSorted
spice trio-and use Accent
to let the flavors of meat
and spice develop fully and
blend together.
For a change, use corn
flake crumbs in place of
bread crumbs to give your
meat loaf body, and bind it
with evaporated milk for a
smooth, soft texture.
And for a surprise, add a
half pound Of sharp cheese
to your basic mixture. It adds
an unexpected and welcome
tang and also adds extra
nourishment, also welcome
as the weather gets cooler.
Bake your loaf in a loaf pan,
the regular way. When it's
done, turn it out on a platter
and frost it with instant
mashed potatoes. For the
final touch, slide your
frosted loaf under the broiler
so that the swirls Of mashed
potato will be appetizingly
toasted.
Add a little garnish of par
sley to the platter and your
dinner is complete. All 1t
needs is a green salad, which
you can make in advance,
dressing, and all, and pour
the dressing onto the salad
at the last minute.

it was installed in office last spring (by
the military to rescue the country from
near-banruptcy and to initiate much
needed reforms in taxation and fiscal

American aid through the Alliance for

recently for this purpose. The danger
that United States aid might be with

a recent precedent in our withdrawal
Of recognition and assistance to the mil

ready has described the military dis
plays Of last week end as "a shameful
spectacle" and has said that his eco
nomic program has been set back by
months. 1t will be unfortunate, even
disastrous, If the feuding militarists
are unable to recognize that their coun-
try'S best hopes lie in strengthening,
not destroying, at least the facade of
civilian government.

VICTORY and Mr.. Rusk

In his Minneapolis address to the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars, Secretary of
State Dean RuSk has effectively ad-
dressed himself to all those rather nu-
merouS criticS-Such as Senators Gold
water and Thurmond-who have been
accusing the Kennedy administration
land not without some juStification) Of
being numbed by mo win" psychology
in dealing with the Kremlin in the cold
war. The accusation, according to the
Secretary is completely unjustified. AS
he has put it:
We have a simple but transcendent goal
1t is, in President Kennedys words "a peace
full world community Of free and independent
states, free to choose their own future and
their own system, so long as it does not
threaten the freedom Of others"
This goal Of ours and the Communist
goal are incompatible. This global struggle
will continue until freedom prevails. It goes
without saying that our purpose is to win.
One hears now and then that we have
mo win" purpose or policies. That Is simply
not so. OF course we intend to win. And
we are going to win. Our objective Is a
. victory for all mankind.
At this point, one might legitimately
josh and twit Mr.. Rusk. After all, in
the recent past (extending over many
monthS), cenSors in the State Depart
ment have not permitted admirals, gen.
erals and other high officers of our
armed services to speak as bluntly, or
as well, as he himself has Just spoken.
The word victory" for example, the
very word stressed by the Secretary in
his impressive Minneapolis address, has
, been excised repeatedly by his under
lings from numerous speeches of some
Of our topmost military leaders.
Why? Well, according to an ex-
PLANTATION submitted by the State De-
partment last May to Senate investi-
eating committee, victory has mil
itaristic and aggressive ring" and it is
therefore unsuitable becauSes 1t "im-
plies an 'all-or-nothing' approach leav-
ing no room for accommodation" So
Mr.. Rusk's use of the word Che should
be wryly amused) ought to be sending
tremors Of excitement, If not diSmay,
into every nook and Granny of the de-
partment's division (if it really exists)
Of Associate Secretaries in Charge of
Watering Down the Speeches of Higher
Ups.
Considerations of this sort, how
ever, should not be allowed to obscure
the meaning of Mr.. Rusk'S excellent
Minneapolis address. For the address
makes clear (and the Kremlin would
do well to comprehend it) that the
United States is not going to surrender
its vital interests in Berlin or anywhere
else. Nikita Khrushchev and his CO.
conspirators are making monumental
and potentially CHASTITY mistake If they
think otherwise

BohIen to Paris

President Kennedy has made good
choice in naming Charles E. Bohlen to
succeed Lieutenant General James M.
Gavin as United States Ambassador to
France. A Foreign Service officer for
the past IS years, Mr.. Bohlen is one Of
our most experienced and most distin-
guished diplomats, admirably equipped
for the Paris aSSignment-an assign
ment that has become a delicate and
difficult one in many respects.
This is so because of the differences
that have developed between our Gov
eminent and President de Gaulle's on
such questions as Western military
strategy and the sharing of American
nuclear know-how with France General
de Gaulle has been represented as being
particularly piqued, for example, by the
Kennedy administrations refusal to
give his country the same sort of atomic
hydrogen weapons information as has
been given to Britain. Franco-American
relations, however, still are basically
very sound and friendly, and Mr.. Bohlen
can be counted upon to do a highly
competent job not only to keep them
that way, but to improve them. Al
though he is best known as an expert
on Communist Russia and although his
main task in recent years, following his
outstanding Ambassadorship in Moscow,
has been that of working with the Secre-
tary Of State as Special Assistant on
Soviet Affairs, he is no stranger to
France, nor is France a stranger to him.
On the contrary, Mr.. Bohlen has
served with distinction in Paris on two
separate tours of duty, the last one
(1949 to 1851 as minister counselor, the
second highest post in the embassy.
Certainly, in view Of this background
and his general international know
ledgeability, few Americans could be
better qualified to carry out the new
task assigned to him.

Clearance for Action

The administration, with "a Repub-
licanS giving critically important assist
to 20 Democrats, has won a striking VIC
tory in the Senate vote to limit debate
on the satellite communications bill.
1t is, however, victory that may
come back to plague some of the most
ardent New Frontiersmen in any later
efforts to modify the often-controversia
Senate cloture rule as an essential step
in enacting civil rights legislation or
possibly other measures In the liberal
category. For those who pushed the
cloture motion through yesterday by
1927 vote have, in effect, proved that
the Senate can, when it wants to do so,
break filibuster and get on to business.
Destroyed, or at least badly damaged,
is their argument that Rule 22-now
permitting limitation Of debate only
when favored by two-thirds of the Sen
atorS present and voting-is a barrier
to legislating. Diminished accordingly
are the prospects for approval next Jan
uary Of proposals to limit debate by a
three-fifthS count Of Senators present
and voting or by a simple majority Of
the 100-member Senate. It Is ironic,
too, that the principal victims" of yes
terday's vote, the little band Of filibus-
tererS against the administration bill,
include several Of the liberals who have
so often attacked the filibustering
practice and have sought further modi-
fication Of Rule % as means of cutting
off unlimited debate.
Be that as it may, the current in
voking of cloture for the first time
since1927 clears the way for two worth
while ends. One is meaningful con-
sideration Of the pending bill, and pro-
posed amendments, on their merit. Ap-
proval of the basic meaSure-already
voted Overwhelmingly by the House,
recommended by the appropriate Sen
ate committees, and Endorsed by the
President, Secretary of State, Attorney
General and chairman Of the Federal
Communications Commission - is now
a certainty. 1t has been evident al
ready that the opposition, based largely
on charges that the administration plan
amounts to gigantic giveaway" Of a
great new Spatial communications sys-
tenn to private industry, has won very
little support.
The second worthwhile result Of
setting schedule to complete work on
this legislation will be that of permit
ting Congress, and particularly the SEN
ate, to get on to other things. With
elections less than three months away,
many members already are feeling the
need to get back to their fence-mending
in the near future. It is obvious that
numerous legislative proposals, some of
them major ones and deserving at least
of consideration, are in danger of going
by the board entirely or of being acted
upon in traditional last-minute uncare-
full haste. The prospects for more re-
sponsible legislating were greatly i'm
proved by yesterdays dramatic decision
in the Senate.

problem presented by the
savage Indians. later by the
unrestricted Asian immigra-
ton and finally by the ma
tional origin policy Of the
Immigration Act Of 1924.
Washington could success
fully integrate on the basis
of the national percentage.
The present population trend
will, for obvious reasons, con-
tinue and lead to an all nom
white city and all-white sub
urban areas in Maryland and
Virginia. This situation has
arisen from unwise legisla-
tive, administrative and judi
cial policies.
A Just population policy
would solve both this problem
and the crime problem and
make Washington the monu-
mental city it was intended
to be. This could be done by
Congress, which has ex-
elusive legislative power. Will
it shrink from its respon-
sibiIity in time Of peace? In
time of war or instruction,
perhaps by the Black Mus
Inns, it may be too late.

THE PASSING SCENE
We Take a Cold War Win Policy
By WILLIAM S. WHIT

Those insisting on describ-
ing our aims In terms softer
than the term win" had
long had their way on rough
ly these arguments: That
to speak badly Of winning"
would be to imply that we
meant to go to nuclear war,
to alarm our Allies and to
present ourselves in a falsely
truculen: position. Sc ele-
waited an official as Under
secretary Of State George
Ball put substantially these
arguments before Congress
itself. -.
Confused by SOphistication
These men were not truly
soft on communism" They
were, however. somewhat
confused by their own So
phistication. Too, they were
tempted to an excessive Stub
bornness by the mere fact
that some-but by no means
all-of those who were de-
nouncing "no-win" were
right-wingers, such as Sena-
tors Barry Goldwater Of Arr
IONA and Strom ThurmoTd OF
South Carolina. To some
New Frontier types, Of course,
no "right-winger" can pos
sibly be right about anything
at all.
All the same, let fairness
be heard now that the argu-
ment is over and rightly and
reasonably won. 1t Is fair to
say that the defenders Of the
short-of-victory slogan were
really anxious to win the
cold war. But 1t Is equally
fair to say that their critics
not excluding Senators
Goldwater and Thurmond-
served a very good purpose
here.
There was always plenty
Of reason not to permit mill
tary men themselves to cry
up win" as q policy. For,
coming from them, such q
statement could be read with
some approach to rational
Interpretation as a recon-
mendation for war.
But for the highest diplo-
matte figure of this country
to proclaim win" Is entirely
Northumberland also overdue.
It serves TO notify the In
creasingly belligerent Rus
sians-or any unduly tin1id
ally-that we really do mean
business. And it serves to
enlarge what is already the
happily high degree OF BIZ
partisan unity in this coun-
try on the one really vital
thing-the cold war.

|ACoId Civil War

A spokesman for one Of the military
factions involved in Argentina's current
political troubles has described the dis
tressing turmoil as "a cold civil war,
but a civil war to the end" It has, in
fact, been only by the slimmest Of mar
gins that the conflict thus far has been
confined to the cold" status and there
is reason only for hope, not confidence,
that it has yet come Ito the end"
In effect, the victim of what is going
on Is the principle of representative
civilian government - surviving now
only by sufferance of the rival military
factions and precarious compromise
that was reached during the past week
end. Specifically, the most recent crisis
centered upon the insistence of power
full right-wing Army clique that Gen
eral Juan Bautista Loza should resign as
Secretary Of War (Which he did) and
that the Army group should designate
his successor. When civilian President
Jose Maria Guido made a choice of his
own, Army forces threatened to take
over the government More moderate
Army leaders, supported by others in the
Navy and Air Force, blocked this move
until President Guido and the rightist
Army leader, General Torrance Montero,
compromised on another appointee as
Secretary of War.
It is, unfortunately, a compromise
fully satisfactory to neither of the mil
itary groups and may not be long
lasting. Since President Guido and his
fellow civilians in government have no
secure political power Of their own, a
new chapter of crisis easily could lead
to "hot civil war" between the two
military factions and the likelihood that
military dictatorship would result.
Against this background, the Guido

This new edition Of Chap

is not a mere revision Of its
predecessor, but very nearly
a new book. The editors tell
us that "only a few of the

retained" and it is obvious
that each essay represents
the current state Of the field.
The book is essentially
about politics in a broad
sense and economics. Eco

especially the sections on

D. c. Population Trend

An early history Of the
United States reads: AT
Washington we see o district
set apart as the national
center; its inhabitants, in q
spirit of patriotism relin-
gushing the right Of SUI
frage, to be free from the
faint Of party spirit, and its
very vastness and unoc-
cupied distances filling the
mind with admiration Of the
hopes of its founders"
The aggressive nature of
the present Inhabitants in
dicates that a change has
taken place with respect to
the patriotic REIMBURSEMENT
Of the right Of suffrage. This
change may have ominous
portents.
washington Is q unique
city. In that it was set apart
as q national center for q
national purpose, and as q
monument to the wisdom Of
its first President. Every
Am erica n hopes to visit
Washington, the picture win
dow Of our country and Of
its people drawn from all of
the States in the Union and
from all parts of the world.
In view Of the danger in
herent in an unrestricted
population policy. it would
seem to be urgent that Con-
gress enact legislation insur-
ing that Washington be q
true representation Of its ma
tional population. This could
be accomplished along the
lines Of the State quota pro-
vision of the Civil Service Act
applicable to employment in
the Federal Government.
Moreover, to insure public
safety, every inhabitant
should be subject to a Fed
eral security check as is every
employee of the Federal and
District Governments. A
population policy is urgent
at the present time in view Of
the high crime rate and the
population trend Of the past
years, which, If continued,
will change Washington into
an unrepresentative nom
white city. No patriotic citi-
zen whether white or non
white desires to see this
change accomplished. The
Bureau of the Census reports
that from 1850 to 1860 the
white population declined
from 517,865 to 345,263, a
decrease of 1880 and that
the non-white population in
creased from 284,313 to 418,-
693, an increase Of 47.3%.
Hence $40 Of the popula-
ton is non-white, the largest
percentage among the Ma
tons big cities.
The success of the q. s. In
the past was due to the wise
population policies by former
great statesmen and jurists
who successfully solved the
