either way without making
Andrea unhappy. Her perplex-
| ity was revealed in that inevi-
table question of all luncheons
with performers: What next?
We'll" said Andrea, II have
a couple Of options. One is to
go back to New York and start
looking for a job; the other to
visit an uncle Of mine in India
for six weeks. He's a zoologist
and until I was 10, I wanted
to be a zoologist. I haven't quite
recovered from that impulse,
not after Sarah Lawrence,
where Henry Hewes (the
critic) was one of my teach
ers. And, not after Neighbor-
hood Playhouse from which I
was graduated the June before
last"
Reading Andrea's expression
at that point as one Of those
what would-you-do things, her
senior came up with an answer
with which Mitch may dis
agree. On the premise that all
youngsters (save ones own
should go on being dependents
until the statute Of limitations
runs out, this correspondent
suggested the Indian visit.
Andrea, incidentally, has en-
joyed her Wayside Theater,
Middletown, adventure this
summer very much. She's cur
rently playing The Girl in 1.-THE
FantaSticks," the unfailingly
delightful musical miniature
which is a kind Of tuneful "Our
Town." That's her favorite role
of the season, which her cele-
brated father has seen and
admired, even effectively.
Andrea had one part in the
stock company's season that
she is happy that her father
did not see. This was the part
Of the insouciant, so to speak,
Peggy Evans. the girl upstairs,
in Come Blow Your Horn"
The wardrobe for that char
acter is not one calculated to
earn a paternal blessing.
Fortunately. Mitch was busy
that week.

children, the latter the progeny
of his oldest son. The grand
children, Oldest seven. who have
known Don more briefly than
most Of the rest Of us, must be
surprised that their grandfather
looks so much younger than
most wearers Of that label.
He looks but little older at
Carter Barron Amphitheater
than when he invented the tele-
phone rs years ago in the NOV
lie, Alexander Graham Bell. "
And was doing those movie mu-
steals with Betty Cradle who.
by the way, looks exactly as
she did then" according to Don.

HE WAS DRAFTED: Don
was drafted into circus business.
he says. He got a call from his
agent one day asking him If he
would like to be host on a tele-
vision show, International
Showtime, built around circus
acts.
81 didn't even remember ever
having gone to q circus" Don
confesses. Nevertheless. having
got so far away from law, the
career for which he studied Cat
Georgetown for one year,, he
could see no reason for not 60
ing farther. So, he said yes, he
thought he would like that. He
has liked it, after a first, igno-
rant year in which I made some
dreadful mistakes that still
haunt me-"
Now that he has the hang Of
1t, and the biggest audience to
which he ever played, he finds
the Job fascinating. There's the
travel" he says. I'VE go all over
the world-Europe, the Orient,
everywhere. We are in transit
every year for from three to
four months. putting acts on
television tape. out Of which, Of
course, we build the show. The
other eight months we spend in
the apartment in New York, al
ways working, but not as hard
as I have worked in other
branches Of show business.
$50 many of the old pres
sures are gone-or maybe they
have merely assumed new
forms"
AS a talent scout, so to
speak, for daring or funny
humans, and intelligent ami
mails, Don finds himself greatly
impressed with the influence
of national traditions on circus
acts. Most Of the acts, say
aerials, are basic, but somehow
they are done with slight varia-
tions. The Germans have their
way, the Italians another, and
the japanese still another"
Does a diffident circus show
host, as distinct from a tradi-
ton rigid ringmaSter, have a
preference for one type Of act
over another?
Don thinks not. He can't af-
ford it, he says.
If he could, however, his
preference might be in favor
of horses. He breeds thorough
breds himself, not for racing
or betting on but for the avo-
cational Joy Of finding him
self involved with an animal
that he finds so intelligent and
graceful.

PIus-Fours

So another chunk of tradition is
wiped out forever. Not much, perhaps,
just four pairs of knickers-but in these
days of our rapidly vanishing hertz
age, every little symbol counts. It has
happened in the heavily draped and
SequeStered Supreme Court where the
bench has decreed, presumably in one
Of its rare unanimous decisions, that
page boys will have to grow up wearing
long pants like everybody else.
In the Supreme Court, of all places,
where conformity has never been con-
sidered virtue and where the judiciary
has withstood many sings and arrows,
1t is a pity to see knuckling-under
to convention. What if the young men
were subjected to taunts by the visiting
yokels?
And in the name of economy, what
is to become of the discarded Knockers
or, If one prefers, plus-fourS? The
Duke of Windsor, we believe, has kicked
the habit, we regret to note. That leaves
only the ageless Gene Sarazen who,
bless him, still struts around the golf
course in the half-mast models.

OId-Aqe Protection

There is no mystery about why
Blue CroSS-Blue Shield plans which are
geared specifically to the needs Of old
people have developed so slowly In
the cold statistics Of the actuaries, old
people are poor risks Their needs for
medical attention are frequent-and
expensive. Under the preSsures Of the
administrations "medicare" proposals,
however, such plans have slowly emerged
in one State after another Now the
Blue Cross and Blue Shield agencies of
the Washington area have joined in,
with a plan that clearly is among the
best.
This is not to say that the new
program is the answer for all our older
citizens Its monthly cost Of SIT person
is obviously beyond the means of great
many Of those who need protection the
most.
But neither, in turn, does this fact
seriously detract from the value of this
particular plan. For its purpose is not
to cover everyone, but to offer the
broadcast possible benefits, on an indi-
vidual rather than group basis, at the
lowest possible cost. 1t would have been
entirely possible, Of course, to hold down
the premium rates by curtailing bene-
fits. This would have been short
sighted approach, however, which would
have produced little more protection,
in the end, than already is available.
1t seems likely that many of the
$4,000 people SIS years Of age or older
who already have some form of Blue
Cross or Blue Shield coverage in this
area will find the new plan more bene-
ficial than their present policies Its
greater value, however, will apply to
the many more thousands of old people
who heretofore have been unable, for
one reason or another, to qualify for
any type of Blue Cross-Blue Shield
protection.

Bobby Bows Out

Robert G. Baker, Bobby" to one
and all in the Senate, has resigned from
his $20,0O0-a-year job as secretary to
the majority. And Mike Mansfield, with
that consideration which is character
istic of him, has put the best face on
the matter
The Majority Leader, after a meeting
OF Senators at which Bobby did not
appear, said the secretary had ten
dered his resignation and that It had
been accepted He added that the
young man had done we'll in his "offi-
cial" capacity but that developments
during the past few weeks have made
1T apparent to him that it would be best
If he withdrew from office"
One of these developments was the
airing Of Bobby'S connection with a
vending machine outfit. Inquiries that
are under way may turn up other ode
'velopmentS. But in any event it has
been clear that Bobby had to step out
as secretary to the Senate majority
When Charles E. Wilson, for example,
came to Washington as Secretary of
Defense the Senate insisted that he
divest himself of securities, and at a
substantial financial loss, to avoid even
the appearance Of conflict of interest.
Against this kind of precedent, the
Senate could hardly remain indifferent
to the state of affairs in its own house.

Rocky in Viroinio'

Your recent editorial en-
titled Rocky in Virginia"
was both misleading and in
accurate, and I take strong
exception to your statement
that zone of the safest of
political bets would be that
Virginia, however it may 90
next year, will not be found
in the Rockefeller camp"
I don't know who your So
called informant is but he
obviously does not know
much about the political sit
uation in Virginia. While it
is true that Virginia shows
every sign Of strongly favor
ing Senator Barry Goldwater
for the Republican nomina-
ton, there Is only one thing
on which you can safely bet.
And that is that Virginia will
not support John F. Kennedy
for reelection no matter who
the Republican nominee may
be. While the majority of
Virginia Republicans are
working for Senator Gold
water, you can bet your boots
that Virginians will prefer
any Republican to four more
years OF the Kennedy dy-
nasty.

Brazilian Torment

President Goulart's withdrawal of
his request for a 30-day state of siege
does not mean that conditions have i'm
proved in Brazil. 1t signifies instead
that things are no better, and may be
worse.
Brazil, once thought of as a poten-
tial bastion of the Alliance for Progress,
is sick-economically and politically.
Initiation, measured at 52.4 percent last
year, still RACES. And the feeble Goulart
government does not appear capable of
invoking and enforcing the economic
reforms necessary to curb it. So the
reasonable prognoSis is that the grip
OF the Goulart regime will gradually
weaken until there is a political col
lapse-a collapse that would be fol-
lowed by struggle for control which
could tear Brazil apart. If this happens
the disasters" in such places as the
Dominican Republic and Honduras will
seem like child'S play as far as the i'm
pact on the hemisphere program of
the United States is concerned.
The request for the state of siege,
a modified form of martial law, was
submitted to the Brazilian Congress
last week by Mr.. Goulart with military
backing. It was designed to enable the
government to cope with grave in
ternal commotion which endangers
democratic institutions and political
order" Now, however, in the face of
bitter opposition from both the political
right and the political left, the Presi-
dent has withdrawn his request, a
withdrawal to which the military has
reluctantly agreed
But this does not even pretend to
be solution or step toward a solution
OF the underlying problems which so
gravely threaten free government in
Brazil. At best it postpones the day of
reckoning, but that day will surely
come. And when it does, unless there
is to be chaos, the will and the power
to govern will have to spring from some
source. AS things have been going, it
is highly unlikely that they will come
from any democratic process.

Flora Strikes

Ill fortune Is Detailing the unhappy
islands of HiSpaniola and Cuba once
again as nature joins in the buffeting to
which the DominicanS, Haitians and
Cubans have been subjected by men
with guns
Hurricane Flora could not have
swept ashore at any place in this hemi-
sphere where the people are less able
to contend with the impact Of wind, rain
and flood. Already the casualty list
stands at 1000 but it may be much
larger when battered communications
catch up with the misery inflicted by
peStilence and ruined food supplies.
Except for some isolated Indian
tribes and Slum jewellers of the Ameri-
cas-, no peoples of the Western Henri
sphere are poorer in earthly substance
and political leadership than the Hal
tians. They have groaned in poverty
and under bloodthirSty relationships
since the beginning Of their history, and
Francois Duvalier is no exception.
The Dominicans are only slightly
better off in terms of living conditions
and, of course, Fidel Castro has taken
Cuba on such ruinous path that literal
starvation may stalk the island as a
result of the ravageS of Flora. And there
will be little the rest of the world can
do. United States diSapproval of Du-
Waller and the new junta in Santo Do
mingo, of course, have cut off all aid to
those countries and Cuba must look to
the Russian puppet-master for help.
The American Red Cross is sending
two men to Port au Prince to survey the
damage wrought by Flora in Haiti and
an aircraft carrier has been dispatched
so its helicopters can examine the
countryside. But much more certainly
will be needed.
More favored peoples of the west
ern hemisphere can only feel deep
sympathy for the victims Of the great
storm. 1t is difficult to say whether
they are more to be pitied in their lead
erS or in their location.

Language Enriched

The Star story October 2,
on the proposed wheat deal
with Russia contained the
following sentence:
Senator Goldwater Of Ari-
zonia. (sic) a possibility for
the 1864 REPUBLICAN (sic)
presidential nomination, said
he had not made up his mind
about the prospective deal. "
The word Arizona" has
an exotic flavor which seems
somehow to connote some
distant, mote sheikdom.
Did The Star really mean to
convey this connotation?
The word REPUBLICAN" is
a real stroke Of genius, but
did The Star mean to i'm
ply that Senator Goldwater
is repugnant to Republicans
with certain views. or was it
a Freudian slip of the tongue
on the part Of The Star
which merely reflected The
Stars aversion to the pos
sibility?
Irrespective Of what your
answers might be to the
above questions, I think The
Star should be commended
for its enrichment of the
language.

prodding of the New Frontier,
objected so strenously to an
am e II d m e mt putting the
brakes on spending becomes
clearer when some disturbing
facts are brought to light
facts which show how your
tax dollar is being used as
pay-off money to politicians
who give their answering
support to President Kennedy.
A recent case in point is
the action by the House Pub
lie Works Committee which
approved, on a party-line vote,
reimbursement to Chicago for
a financially defunct, bond
financed toll bridge, the Chi
cago Skyway. The cost to the
taxpayers for this unconscion-
able windfall was 500, 1888, 900.
Paradoxically, the commit
tee has consistently opposed
the reimbursement of toll IA
cilities. And with good reason.
If all the city, county and
State-owned toll facilities in
the country which are in fl
nancial straits were paid off,
the cost to the United States
would be SAC billion!
Why the Democrats would
raid the United States Treas
ury in this instance is only
clear In light of the support
Mayor DAILY has given the Ma
tional Democratic ticket. In
testimony before the Roads
Subcommittee, on which am
the ranking minority mem
Der, Mayor DAILY could come
up with no logical reason why
Chicago should receive such
preferential treatment. The
tollway was defunct and he
wanted Uncle Sugar" to bail
it out.
This is a lucid example of
why we're operating at an
So : billion deficit next year
and why curbs must be put
on excessive Federal expendi-
lures. 1t shows why the Re-
publicans are so concerned
over our fiscal policies. Po-
litical payoffs are bad enough,
but 10 compound this practice
at a time when the Nation is
1909 billion in debt is the
height Of responsibility and
an insult to every American
voter and taxpayer

How in Sac PcuIo

Adolph Gottlieb, a leading American
painter for several decades, has won the
top painting prize, million cruzieros,
at the current Brazilian biennial exhi-
oltion at Sac Paulo. We congratulate
Mr. Gottlieb and share the pride of
interested Americans in such interna-
tlonal recognition accorded one of our
own.
We also congratulate USIA and the
government in general for sponsoring
American participation in the big Bra
lillian show. This is the first time our
representation has been underwritten
by the government, in contrast to all
other participating nations Heretofore.
American representation at Sac Paulo
as at the other great International exhi-
oltlon, IN Venice, has been made possible
= by the Museum of Modern Art. New
YORK. Last year the museum announced
1t could no longer afford to carry the
burden that is universally assumed by
governments. 1t is to the credit of USIA
that it has moved into the gap.
Both government officials and some
persons in the art world have tradition
ally feared our governments participa-
ton in the arts on grounds ranging
from the chance of boondoggling to
that OF cultural dictatorship. USIA cut
through the problem by contracting the
job out to first-rate American private
institution, the Walker Art Center in
Minneapolis.
The Center, in a decision almost
impossible to imagine being reached by
a government committee, chose to send
large show of Gottlieb paintings and a
group show of contemporary American
sculpture.
Previous government involvement in
similar art projects has been harassed
on the one hand by congressional prim-
itives, on the other by purist aesthetics.
We think the contractural ARRANGEMENT.
such as is followed in many government
enterprises, answers all objections and
hopefully points the way to continuing
