Cedurcroft Uses

A new program for mental
patients-treatment on a day

nounced by Cedarcroft Sanitar-
ium and Hospital in Silver
Spring. Md.
The program tries to econo-
mize on both human and fl
nancial resources by providing
hospital-type care while allow
ing the patient to live at home
The staff of the hospital says
this permits a lower charge OF
S12.50 per day, including a mid

out that the patient can thus
get intensive treatment with
out losing contact with hii

To make this possible Cen
eral Dynamics is to design a
plane which:
/. Flies at about 1,400 miles
top speed and at supersonic
speed at sea level.
2. Can take off and land on
short, rough airfields in forward
battle areas or be launched and
recovered by aircraft carriers.
3. Can fly anywhere in the

4. Can use either conven-

Savings Forecast
The Defense Department be-

a basic design for the tactical
fighter, about 81 billion can be
saved as compared with the
cost of developing separate de-
signs for the Air Force and

The Air Force will call its

The plane will have a two

particularly the Sunday or weekend

The reason for this is that your
newspaper, with its many specialized
departments and sections, has
whole set of specialized voeabular-

new words that pass into general

When you're lea6ng through
the various sections, a good idea is
to stop and explore in an unfamiliar
area. Instead of sticking to the
same sections and features that you
always read, try one or two that you
don't ordinarily look into. You'll
find it's a pleasant way to fortify

Mrs. Zelda.
How d wife's ovocotion grew into

Il theater is something less than night out.
Their evenings at Arena Stage mean working be-
hind stage, where the sound of audience clapping
is cheerful music to run the ticket office adding
machine by.
Rounding the first quarter of the premiere season
in their new building the Fichandlers recount an
unusual story in which wfeS avocation grew
into vocation for both.
Arena Stage If it has been an institution
forever and that its producer and co-founder Zelda
Fichander, must be nearing 80. She is instead slim
md-30S brunette who looks not unlike the coed she
was only 10 years ago when Arena was nothing more
than a Scrawny dream.
Zelda despite her F. Scott Fitzgerald sort of name
is no giddy woman Her personality devoid of the
atrical artifceS is almost confusingly capriciouS-
cooIly direct one moment, warm the next.
Her quiet, controlled voice helped to conceal the
restlessness of creative mind she remnisced in
the carpeted office of her made-to-order theater-
the first built in Washington in go years.
She talked of the old Hippodrome Theater which,
between its careers a rundown movie house and
then strip joint, had fveyear intellectual uplift
as the first Arena Stage:
THAT opening night The rug was sent to the
Hippodrome Theater in Baltimore b. mistake. 1t fl
nally sent to the right city. end up all
night before we opened. laying the carpet. Then
washed my face and went downtown to get the permit
to open"
There have been more than 100 productions since
then-at the Hippodrome, then the "Old Vat" CHeu-
rich) brewery, where Arena Stage grew up with the
smell of hops in its nose.
The present and permanent Arena is still at the
stage where Zelda says she feels little like woman
running 18-room house with part-time maid on
Monday and Wednesday mornings"
The theatrical interest which grew into such
production was long in coming. Zelda wanted to be
Journalist She majored in Russian language and lit
erature, graduating from Cornell University in 1945.
With the end of World War II, her plans for an over
seas journalist job shifted to working for the military
intelligence and marrying Economist Tom Fichandler
But latent interest in theater was revised, and
Zelda went to George Washington University for her
masters in theater arts and to Arena Stage with
Prof Ed Mangum.
She did some acting, but soon lost interest
became more involved in directing" She candidly adds
Besides, decided I wasn't very good actress"
Zelda has directed rs Arena productions "I want to
go back to directing as minor details such as
putting up building, fall away"
Her husband had more of theatrical background
and spent his childhood travelling with his musical
director father and opera singer mother Formerly
research director for the Washington Bureau of the
goth Century Fund he became executive director OF
Arena Stage year ago and supervises all financial
details.

BroziFs InfIotion

Its booming growth brought
with it the perhaps inevitable in
flation which Brazil's government
has not been able to curb. The
industrial south has grown much
more rapidly than the agricul-
tural north. This has led to vast
economic, social and political
problems throughout, but es-
pecially IN the northern area.
The initiation has led to q con-
slant soaking up Of foreign
capital. and this has increased
Brazil's balance of payments def
icit to a record $3.50 million in
1860.
These problems were partly re-
sponsible for Janos Quadros' de-
cision to resign as president last
August. He said that powerful
vested interests would not agree
to needed fiscal controls, and thus,
his work would be ineffective.
His replacement as president
after a brief constitutional crisis
was Vice President Joao Goulart.
Mr.. Goulart's position has fol-
lowed the lines of Mr.. Quadros.
He has tried to arouse his coun-
try's social conscience to the needs
of the time.

Austerity Program

He has called for an austerity
program to reduce the balance OF
payments deficit. He has proposed
a more equitable tax structure,
and he has kept friendly rela-
tionS with Cuba-trying not to
give the Castroites an excuse for
civil war at home.
Mr.. Goulart's decision on Cuba
seems wise, in light Of develop
ments in Ecuador last week.
One Of the remaining countries
with ties to Cuba-the others are
Brazil, Chile, and Mexico-Ecua-
dor has long been troubled by vast
economic problems, an intrenched
rich class, and a highly vocal,
leftist minority.
President Carlos Arsemena-
who took office last fall after a
military coup-reluctantly broke
ties with Cuba and the Red bloc
last week after the military put
the pressure on him. This resulted
in a leftist uprising in Ecuador's
north-central area, led by Castro
armed supporters. Reports from
the troubled area are still unclear
Mr.. Goulart believes that
Brazil needs help from abroad
meaning the United States. His
visit to Washington last week

was Senator Dirksen from the
''isolationist" State of Illinois who
led the way. In an eloquent speech
which gained him the rapt at

"I doubt whether the United
Nations could possibly be con-
stituted again at this time, and
perhaps it could not be done in
another SO years. I do not want
to see that effort, which began

people at home who do not like

Arab World:

The twO-week- Syrian

rebellion by other officers in the

The European Secret Army
Organization continued Its ter
rorist killings last week, but

Arab states-Egypt. 1raq, Lebanon
and Jordan-Syria has not known

The coup d'etat has been the
rule and not the exception since
Syria received its independence
from France in l943. The coups
grew out Of the hostility among
the different forces competing for
power In the small, relatively
prosperous Arab country.
These forces included Arab
unity. preached from all Arab
capitals; Arab socialism fostered
from Cairo and Baghdad; and
Syrian nationalism followed by
the Damascus intellectuals and
businessmen. In addition, there
was the desire by many Syrian
leaders to retain close ties with
France-an imperialist power.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Vote on u. N. Bill
Tip to the House

The Senate, after four days
debate, voted a bipartisan conn
promise plan, 70 to %, to au-
thOrize a loan Of up to S100
million to the United Nations.
The bill now goes to the House
where a new battle is in pros
pect.
In the Senate last week, Chair
man Fulbright of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee, observed that
most Americans had been "un-
duly optimistic" of the role of
the United Nations in world
politics, that some "are so in
tensely pro-U. N. that they do not
see it's faults while others are so
anti-U. N. that they fail to see
its virtues"

and Humphrey off the floor and

bate on the ~. N. bond issue"

Big Vote Needed

This, the White House felt, was
something to avert. 1t wanted an
overwhelming vote-to impress the
House, where the issue might be
in doubt, and to impress other
nations that the United States is
not disillusioned with the world
organization.
Accordingly, President Kennedy
agreed to a modification passed
by the Foreign Relations Com
mittee which would have en-
powered him to match the pur-
chases of bonds by other countries,
up to SIS million, and allowed
him to buy $25 million outright.
But this modification did not
satisfy a number Of influential
Republicans, who preferred a
straight short-terfn loan at
reasonable" interest rates. And
so, a compromise, worked out by
Senate Majority Leader Mansfield,
Minority Leader Dirksen and the
White House was offered. After

debate. it carried by an over
whelming margin.

The approved measure (S.2768)
also carried two stipulations dear
to the Senate and agreeable to
the President. These were that the
loan shall not be used to relieve
other countries of their obliga-
tions to pay their U. N. bills and
that the United States shall de-
duct annually from its share Of
the U. N. budget an amount equal
to the yearly installment OF princi-
pal and interest due this country
