So sensitive is the field of
gift giving by the President
and the Vice President to
foreign heads of state that
the State Departments pro-
tocol office has four expert
enced hands who search out
suitable gifts.
In the past, selection has
been based on these factors:
The gift must be intimate
enough to show the giver
"re ally cares" significant
enough for a chief of state,
creative enough to eventually
become a museum piece and
obviously made in the United
States.
Thus, more than one-third
of these high-level gifts have
been pieces of glass, designed
and executed especially for
international giving, by an
American firm (Steuben).
A Suggestion
Before leaving on the tour
of mediterranean and n ar
east countries, the Vice Presi-
dents staff suggested to the
State Department a change
more in keeping with the
emphasis on social reform to
be made during the tour.
The protocol office, al
though apprehensive a bout
this break with tradition, in
formally sounded out the
Washington representatives
of the recipients and decided
to go along with the john
son plan.
Some personal gifts of q
special nature were included.
The JohnSons provided a
Texas cowboy outfit for the
two-year-old Crown Prince
Reza Cyrus of Iran, and sets

obvious that those who prostitute

of law and order, regard for the

teacher Well, not really, but that
was his role at Mexican fiesta
in Levittown, Long Island. The
fete had its inception last summer
when Richard Streb, head of social
studies at the Jonas E. Salk Junior
High S DOL, was vacationing
south of the border. He came upon
Escondia, an isolated village $50
miles west of Mexico City, where
the one-room adobe school had no
running water, no electricity and
no books. But the As Impoverished
Mexican children, 10 of them
orphaned, were thirsty for knowl-
edge
Back at the well-equipped Salk
School, Streb described to his stu
dents the plight of the youngsters
in Escondida. The 1900 Salk stu
dents launched one-day fiesta,
to bring books, clothing and food
to Escondida's boys and girls. They
'boned up on exciting and colorful
Mexican music and folk dances.
Authentic Mexican jewelry, arts
and crafts were on sale. The Fonda
de la Luna, Mexic IN style
restaurant operated by home eco
nomics students, served tortillas,
chill and tacos, while the Restau-
rante Norte Americana competed
with hot dogs.
The Salk students, teachers and
parents knew they cannot solve
all of Escondida's problems. Their
wonderful fiesta did raise $4,000
for Escondida's youth-certainly a
lively and practical approach to
social studies-and to brotherhood
across borders.

pRovERB OF THE MONTH
WHO'S AN EXTREMIST?
by HARRY FLElSCHMAN

What would you think if Robert
WEIGH, head of the John Birch So
ciety, were to announce gleefully
. that "right-wing extremism is on
the wane in the United States?"
That you were in Alice's Wonder
land? Don't faint He didn't say it.
But DR.. Kenneth D. Wells, presi-
dent of Freedoms Foundation of
Valley Forge, Pa, did make that
statement in Los Angeles recently.
And Wells is peculiar guy to be
making such comment. The Foun-
dalton makes awards to deserving
patriotic" groups and individuals.
Among the most frequent award
winners is one of the most active
extreme right groups in the
nation, the N a tt n Education
Program of Searcy, Ark. NEP's
film, "Communism on the Map"
maintains that communism has
already conquered the entire world
except for West Germany, For
mosa, Switzerland and the United
States. 1t equates liberalism and
socialism with communism.
Other patriots who have re-
ceived awards from Freedoms
Foundation include Tom Anderson,
Southern leader of the John Birch
Society, who calls the National
Council of Churches the National
Council of Judases"; DR.. Nicholas
Nyaradi, whose lectures are dis
tributed by the John Birch Society
and similar characters.
In November 1858, reports the
TEXAS OBSERVER, Foundation
president Wells addressed some
800 teachers at Lampasas, Texas.
He told them that the Russians
"are warming up for the kill, but
not until we are softened up by
left-wing commentators, left-wing
e ditorial writer's, left-wing
teachers, and left-wing leaders"
Added Wells: II have daughter
in Temple University and she
comes home in tears almost every
night from the socialistic things
she hears there" Wells went on
to blame minority racial and reli-
gious groups for spreading such
"Un- doctrines.
It is the same Mr.. Wells who is
now telling his listeners: Freedom
is table talk again for the first
time" and that "the job before all
of us is to put our passions aside
and calmly re-examine our Amer
lean heritage"

CANDOR: Conductor Artur
Rodzinski got his first job in
the musical world at the age
of Is. He was hired by a
soprano at the opera to
applaud vigorously after each
of her arias.
Young Rodzinski had no
objection to participating in
this piece of hokum. The
soprano had a fine voice, and
if he gave the audience a
little prod, what harm was
done?
He was, however, scrupu-
lousy honest. One day, after
several months had passed, a
new soprano was added to
the company's roster. After
Rodzinski had heard her
sing, he told his employer
that he was quitting.
But why?" she wanted to

the offense from a probation
report in open court. Reardon
was listed in the $500 block of
Hillside road Sc.
Reardon, who is married and
the father of two small daugh-
tiers, pleaded guilty to assault
with intent to commit carnal
knowledge, although he denied
having sexual relations with
the girl. He originally was in
dicted on a charge of carnal
knowledge, which is the equiv

girl who is under 16.
Judge Sirica said the girl
told police that Reardon

School Test
In Key West
BY the Associated Press

A last-minute agreement by
local officials to desegregate
Key West (Fla) public schools
has caused the Justice Depart
ment to cancel plans for a test
case involving Government-im-
pacted areas, department
sources report.
The suit had been prepared
for filing last month.
1t was aimed at enabling the
Government to take the initia-
tive in desegregating schools in
areas heavily populated by Fed
eral employees. Special Federal
aid is provided for schools in
such areas.
Until now. the Government
has sought to enter school de-
segregation cases as a friend
of the court only after a case
has been filed by a parent on
behalf of his child.
1t attempted to enter the case
in Prince Edward County, Va,
but a district court Judge re-
jected the attempt.
In the case prepared for
filing in Key West, department.
lawyers put forth the view that
the Government has an inter-
est similar to that of a parent
in schools near Government
installations. This position was
based, it was understood, on the
Governments $500 million an
nual outlay in aid to such
schools and on the attendance
of Government employees chill
dren at the schools.
A test case emphasizing this
position is expected to be filed
in some other Southern State
probably within a week or two.
