A Call to DUTY

Attorney General Kennedy'S recent
trip around the world established his
qualifications as a discerning and highly
capable envoy. In short, he not only
sensed the interest and the mood of
those who greeted him, some friendly
and some challenging, he was able and
willing to respond in most effective
fashion to both.
In his address this week before the
annual meeting of the Associated Press
in New York, Mr.. Kennedy called upon
other Americans to go and do likewise.
The Attorney General, youthful brother
OF youthful President, was not speak
ing lightly or facetiously in his appeal
to the New York audience. He found
on his own trip, and he so reported to
the newspaper gathering on this occa-
sion, vast lack of understanding, par
ticularly in the less sophisticated lands,
OF the history, the culture, the ideals
and the preoccupations of the American
people. In many cases, this misunder-
standing is something deliberately cul-
tivated by anti-American forces. In
many Others it is simple and contin-
ulng lack of knowledge.
There are efforts being made on
many fronts to tell the true American
story-both through governmental
agencies and through private endeavor.
Mr.. Kennedy thinks there should be
more efforts and on more fronts, specif
ically in this instance through the travel
and activities of articulate and informed
individuals in politics, education, busi-
ness, and the arts and sciences, In a
word, the Attorney General is seeking
to enlist host of others as ambassa-
dors, not in diplomacy as such and not
Of propaganda but of truth. Though
this is not entirely new idea, it is still
an idea of very considerable merit. For
too many people abroad persist in be-
lieving that America and Americans "are
interested only in material gains, that
they are not interested in their neigh
bors domestic or foreign), not inter-
ested in their communities and not in
terested in those that are less we'll off"

conference at the deputy for
eign ministers level, which
would deal not only with the
problem of Berlin, but also
other major East-West is
sues. On this matter, Mr..
Macmillan may have less
trouble convincing Mr.. Ken
nedy than the Russians, who
have been acting recently as
though they would just as
soon forget about Berlin for
the time being.
Lean to Neutrals' Idea
Mr.. Macmillan's ideas for
reviving the nuclear test ban
talks, on the other hand,
would seem to leave room for
some rather serious differ
ences of opinion between the
two Western leaders. Though
the Prime Minister has held
the line well when it comes
to the need for a new Amer
lean test series, the basic
British = American dispute
over controls for a test ban
that broke out last month at
Geneva still is by no means
resolved.
In fact, the British are
leaning more heavily than
ever toward the compromise
solution suggested at Geneva
by neutral members of the
test ban conference. There is
considerable support for the
idea that national detection
systems are adequate to spot
all except small underground
nuclear explosions and that
a limited number of on-site
inspections by a neutral COM
mission could do a satisfac-
tory job of policing the treaty.
The British, in short, are
willing to go a good deal fur
ther than the Americans In
dropping demands for an air.
tight inspection system and
in trusting in the effect of
moral discussion in enforcing
the terms of a test ban
treaty. Absolute proof of
violations, they argue, is un-
necessary. If either side be-
comes convinced that the
other is carrying on nuclear
tests, the treaty in any case
would automatically become
invalid.
This line Of thinking may
well run into still more op-
position in Washington If it
is pressed in the course of
Mr.. Macmillan's visit. The
American attitude toward the
neutralS' proposals at Geneva
has been anything but cor
dial, and United States in
Sistence on foolproof con-
trolls seems stronger than
ever. Once the American test
series is out of the way, it is
possible. of course, that
Washington will see the
problem in a somewhat more
liberal light. But, for the
time being it will not be easy
to bridge the gap between
the two opposing points of
view.

Dangerous Roulette

The Kennedy three-stage
disarmament plan, it seems
to me, is Russian Roulette
with four chambers loaded
and an 80 per cent proba-
bility Of destroying the
United States as a free ma
tion.
In ten years all nations
possessing armed forces
would join the treaty. All
ornaments would be elimi-
mated except for non-nuclear
arms for agreed types of ma
tional forces necessary to
maintain internal order. A
United Nations peace" force
would remain and the World
Court would have com
pulsory Jurisdiction"
This is, so far as I can see,
just the tired old liberal
plan to deliver the United
States into world government
Sugar-coated with a dubious
peace. But. according to one
news story, " the United
States took a considerable
political risk by agreeing to
accept Russia'S word on the
amount of arms and troops
the Soviets would have in
service at the start of dis
armament"
Imagine the United States
entering a world government
scheme in which we have one
vote in a hundred, in which
Russia controls at least three
votes to our one, and in
which each tribe of a Congo
federation has equal voting
power with us! What would
be the first destination of
that nondescript U. N. army?

OAR. Snubbed?

I have attended the list
Continental Congress Of the
D. A. r. AS you well know,
a very large body of
tired lonesome old women"
were present to hear some
thought-provoking speeches
by such people as Maj. Arch
Roberts, Maj. Bundy and
others. These women repre-
sent the voting power Of the
Nation, coming as they do,
from every corner of the
United States and represent
ing thousands of their mem
bers who did not attend the
Congress.
I feel that it was a per-
sonal affront that Mrs. Ken
nedy, the first First Lady to
so do, did not offer the hospi-
tality of our White House, her
temporary home. How tempo
rary 1t will be depends upon
the voters, and certainly she
did not gain any voters for
her husband by her action.
Can any American be that big
that he cannot attend to the
small courtesies that mean
so much in gaining good
will?
Could not Mr.. Kennedy
have found a short half hour
to deliver his welcome in
person, or at least send one
of his staff to deliver it for
him? On such small Sights
are mems downfall often
founded. Who is so big that
he needs not the support of
every person he can reach?
Alas our gracious CD front
page seekers, the First Lady
and the President, did them
selves no service in belittling
the D. A. R. in action, or in
word. 1t may be that some
day they will rue the day

lonesome old women" who
are so capable Of bringing
the word to those back

LONDON.

OONOON.
A certain amount of polite
arm twisting is to be expected
during Prime Minister Mac
millan's forthcoming trip to
Washington.
Most Of the Prime Minis
ter's diplomatic baggage is
familiar enough. One of the
main purposes of his trip
is to emphasize once again
that special and continuing
Anglo = Saxon" relationship
which others - notably
Frances Charles de Gaulle-
find so infuriating. It is being
emphasized although there is
nothing Of an emergency ma
ture about the visit, which
was planned some months
ago. Despite rumors to the
contrary, Mr.. Macmillan will
not press President Kennedy
to call off the United States
nuclear test series. He will
not try to stick a British oar
into the talks on Berlin going
on between Secretary of State
Rusk and Russian Ambassa-
dor Anatoly Dobrynin, in
which Mr.. Macmillan hearth
ly indorses the American DO
Sition.
He will not even push for
a new summit conference at
this stage. Though nostalgia
for top-level diplomacy un-
doubtedly fingers on, Mr..
Macmillan is said to realize
that the time for summitry
at the moment is singularly
out Of joint. The most that
might be suggested is an
other KhruShchev Macmil-
Ian meeting, and even this
is considered far-fetched by
those who recall his last un-
happy pilgrimage to Moscow.
Wants East-West Forum
Still, in the course of a
wide-ranging review of world
problems, the British leader
is expected to lay heavy en-
phasiS on at least two points.
First is the need to for
malize East West negotia-
tionS on a wide variety of
subjects by establishment of
some kind of a permanent
forum. The secondhand prob
ably the most urgent-item
on Mr.. Macmillan'S Washing
ton agenda is a relaunching
of efforts to get a nuclear
test ban treaty with Russia
after completion of the
American test series.
The first point arises out
Of an old British diplomatic
theory that any conflict can
eventually be talked to death.
From the beginning of the
Berlin dispute, they have
clung to the idea that if
the Russians could only be
drawn into a kind of perma-
nent negotiation, nothing
very serious was likely to
happen and in the end an
acceptable solution could be
found.
The latest idea being talked
UP in British diplomatic cir
cles is to set up a continuing

Apartment Zonino

L read With great interest
the article written by James
B. Rowland, which stated
that Prince Georges County
is Is years ahead in apart
ment coming. The reason for
this interest is that I, along
with other developers, have
been looking feverishly dur
ing the past three years
for zoned apartment-hou
ground in Prince Georges
County, and I want to report
to you that there is a scar
city Of available apartment
house ground which has
tripled the price Of zoned
ground in the last three
years.
1t is possible that there
are 1929 acres approved for
apartments but still vacant;
however, I believe that a
thorough search of the rec
ords would disclose that
much of this consists of
large plots in single owner
ship which can only be de-
veloped at the rate Of 10 or
is acres a year. Some of it
is in plots that are too small
for development but would
take assemblies which are
difficult to make; and the
rest is in the hands Of own
ers or estates who do not
wish the property developed.
Many times, shifts in pop
ulation and in employment
centers, as we'll as the con-
struction Of new highways
and interchanges, make
apartment-house coming de-
sirable and necessary, even
though other areas may have
a surplus of apartment-house
zoning. I can assure you from
my personal experience that
ground zoned for immediate
development is very scarce
at the present time, and I
think it is unfair to make a
blanket statement of the type
made. in this article. The de-
mand for apartment houses
is steadily increasing, due to
the increase in the number
of older citizens who wish
to sell their homes and live
in apartments and the in
crease In young married cou-
Piles with children under
school age who do not wish
the responsibilities of a
home. A realistic balance
must be reached between de-
mands of this increasing
segment Of the population
and the desires of the exist
ing communities. It is a
difficult problem which must
be faced by developers, citi-
zens. and county officials
alike. There is no easy solu-
tion and, certainly, articles
of the type written by Mr..
Rowland do not lend them
selves to the proper consid-
Grafton of these problems.

A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
Adventure on the Texas Frontier
BY DONALD MIMI

But the need to understand
the ghost intrudes. It leads to
unpleasant tension and a
fierce concentration on trivia.
Then the specter vanishes
across the Arizona line and
with it this curious anxiety.
The balance Of the book is
a good -humored, somewhat
Mark Twain-like account of
growing up in a small Texas
town early in our century.
The great cattle drives
were passing into history, but
Mr.. BoSworth saw a dra-
matte nighttime stampede
during a vicious electrical
storm. The postlude however
was less dramatic:
dee Can older brother who
was a cowboy shook his
head, and said he hoped the
boys got them milling UP on
the divide. He said there
would probably be an awful
lot of fence work to do
tomorrow.
Reckon you'll have to
help me, Floyd he said Ito
another brother).
'Shucks.' Floyd sighed. All
the romance had gone out Of
the stampede. From time i'm
m e m orial, cowboys have
hated building fence"
ERE WERE THE
USUAL ADVENTURES IN
school and church and around
town. The process of recon-
structing the life of the past
by compiling a collection of
anecdotes is not satisfactory
for it tends to emphasize
whimsy which after all, is
not constituent of life. But
Mr.. Bosworth controls it well,
and the picture that results is
less distorted than one might
expect.
There are also some strik-
ing vignettes of hostile ma
ture:
"The winter came early,
cold and dry. Northers whis-
tied down across Texas, red
dening the sky with dust.
staining the clothes Mama
hung out to dry; northers
flapped the wagon sheet and
twisted the last leaves from
postoak and blackberry. III
nourished cattle drifted with
the wind and were begged
down to perish in the mud of
shrinking waterholes or died
against some barbed-wire
fence. Every pasture had its
scatter of carcasses left to
bloat and burst; there were
too many for buzzards to
handle, and they put their
stencil upon the land"
Passages like this suggest
that now that Mr.. Bosworth
has come to terms with the
shade of his father, it is in
his power to write a fine book
about the land he knows so
well.

NEW COUNTRY by Allen F

NEW COUN1HY Dy Allen
Bosworth. 334pp., illus. Har
per & Brothers, $685..
To you and me, the old
snapshots reproduced near
the center of the book are
just that and no more. To
Allen r. Bosworth, they are
mementos Of his family,
people who were not merely
remarkable but unique.
And that is the trouble
with stories about Mama and
Papa. However loved Cor
hated) they may be by those
near to them, however odd
their personalities may seem
to those around them, there
are precious few human be-
ings with sufficient strength
to hold apart the two cov-
erS Of a book.
Nevertheless, they are here
- Mama, Papa and their
10 children-in what is hope
fully proclaimed to be a
fond, exuberant, wonder
fully engaging memoir of an
American family drawn ir-
resistibly to follow the coun-
try's fading frontiers.
The fading frontiers"
were in and around Texas
and the period involved runs
roughly from the last two
decades of the 18th century
to the first World War.
Papa, formally known as
Woodson Elliott BoSworth,
was a compulsive wanderer.
Once in a while, an oppor-
tunity would arise to settle
down with reasonable pros
poets of success. Papa invari-
ably sabotaged his presumed
good fortune, and the wheels
of the old ranch wagon would
again carry his worldly goods
and ever increasing family
across the length and breath
of his vast State.
AFTER "a YEARS OF
ROAMING, M a ma had
enough. She and her eight
living children went south
and east and soon stopped
in Ozona, Tex. Papa went
west, and was seen only once
again.
In 1908, when this hap
pened, Mr.. BoSworth was not
yet 2. To him his father
was more myth than man.
And this myth must have
haunted him.
For the first 200 pages of
New Country" seem less a
memoir than a record of
Mr.. Bosworth's attempts to
comprehend and thus to
exercise a ghost. AS he fol-
lows the trail and fills in
background from contempo-
rary records and the recol-
lections of his older siblings,
he necessarily tells us a good
deal of the life, economics
and more of a vanished,
near-frontier existence.

at the University about 5
pm. After we settled in our
dormitories, we set out to ex-
plore the campus.
WE MADE many friends,
especially among the Louis
lana delegates.
Our days were full. Ses-
sions were on Communism,
African and Latin American
missions and also the home
missions in North America.
We were urged to attend
as many sessions as possible
and could pick the topics we
were interested in.
Prayer played an import
ant role. In the morning
most delegates attended
Mass. A few times it was not
possible because the chapel
was filled.
In the evenings, night
prayers were said and the
great silence" was suppos-
ed to be observed until after
Mass next morning.
The most beautiful part of
the trip was the candellight
procession, rosary and bene-
diction at the Grotto.
But the convention was not
all prayer and attending
meetings.
Leisure time was spent
buying souvenirs, looking at
exhibits by various mission
orders, exploring the camp
us, and most of all, visiting
the "Huddle." 1t seems ev-
eryone had the same idea
because there was always a
crowd there, buying sodas,
sundaes, cokes and ice cream
cones.

participants were delegates
from the Convention.
