SERVICE SCENE
Skilled Skaters Toasted
Commanding General Fetes Ice Stars
BY RUTH DEAN
Star Staff Writer


A group of fleet-footed
young people were the toast
of the town last night.
The occasion was the re-
ceptioh given by Mai. Gen.
Paul A. Gavan, commanding
general of the Military Dis
trict of Washington, and
Mrs. Gavan before the gala
opening of the 1868 Ice
Capades in Washington Col
iseum.
The party at the Fort
McNair Officers Club drew
Government, military, civic
and social leaders as well as
officials and members Of
press, radio and television.
But the lions of the evening
were the youthful members
of the Ice Capades cast,
many of whom are Gold
Medal winners and Olympic
skating champions.
When Ronnie Robertson
went through the line, Mrs.
Gavan confessed she was a
fan of the slightly built
skating wizard. She told him
her husband had tried to ex-
plain to her mathematically
how Mr.. Robertson achieves
the incredible speed Of 24O
revolutions per minute in his
spins. When she asked him
how he did it, he smiled
quietly and replied, Just
practice"
Precision Routine
The military reception was
an appropriate opener for
this years Ice Capades which
feature a number entitled
West Point (ettes) on Pa
rade." The act in which 80
Ice Ca'pets give an ice skat-
ing precision routine dressed
in a costume variation Of the
West Point cadet uniform,
was done only after long
consultation with and per-
mission Of the United States
Military Academy, explained
Mr.. Harry G. Lynn, president
of the Washington Coliseum.
Mrs. Lynn was also a guest
at the reception.
Also on hand from the
cast was Hisashi Kuchiki,
only Japanese skating star
in the Western ice show world
to whom Jimmy Grogan, an
other soloist in the ice show,
paid the compliment, Hes
Tokyo'S Ronnie Robertson"
Mr.. Kuchiki said he started
skating eight years ago when
1t was not such a popular
sport in Japan. Now it's
caught on there he said.
The Secretary of the Navy
and Mrs. Fred Korth, the
commandant of the Marine
Corps and Mrs. David Shoup
and the Army Vice Chief of
Staff and Mrs. Barksdale
Hamlet were at the party.
Also on hand were Maj. Gen.
William H. Abendroth, COM
manding general of the Dis
trict National Guard, and
Mrs. Abendroth, and the
president of the Board of Dis
trict Commissioners and Mrs.
Walter Tobriner.
Mays Present
Others seen at the recep-
ton included Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert May, the comman-
dant of the Potomac River
Naval Command and Mrs.
Laurence H. Frost, just back
from q two-week Florida va
cation; Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
jamin M. McKelway, the vice
president of the Board OF
Trade and Mrs. william H.

missioner and Mrs. F. Jo-
seph Donohue, and 1t. Gen.
and Mrs. Russell L. Vittrup
who will be off for Paris in

U.S.. Leads in Buying British Books

Maybe it's because we have
almost" the same language
but England sells more books
to the United States than any
other country.
You've just overtaken Aus
tralia," said r. E. Barker. the
secretary of the British Book
Publishers Association. in the
United States to visit various
publishers. He is a cheerful,
sandy-haired 43-year-old with
a 252-pound Alfred Hitchcock
silhouette and a penchant for
writing mysteries, when he
isn't Hacking the world on
buying British published works.
He went with the publishers
association II years ago, quail
flying for the job because
having never been publisher,
I was able to work dispassion-
ately for all. Before that all
I had done was be in the
Army. I just rather liked the
idea Of being with print"
Mr.. Barker went into the
office and said, I'm fond Of
books"-not the most sterling
way to greet publishers who,
by necessity of their livelihood.
hope this is not a unique love.
Anyway, he got the job and
through the years has seen OBJ
scenity laws and peoples tastes
change.
Obscenity Views Change

lea, whether the hook was in
tended as a serious piece oi
literature is a strong consider
alton. This subject led quite
naturally to Lady Chatterly'c
Lover" which Mr.. Barker called
absolutely worthless--an i'm
probable picture Of that soci-
ety."
THE Room at the Top
Saturday Night, Sunday
Morning" angry young men
writers are rather out of fash
ion in England, said Mr.
Barker, who adds many OF
them we're merely irritating
young men,"
More popular now are the
serious works, such as c. P,
Shows novels. Mr.. Barker said
the United States is admittedly
ahead Of England in technical
works, but in a modern world
which emphasizes science, Mr.
Barker feels there will always
be room for fiction"
True ROmances Out
However, the market for the
true romance sort of story has
evaporated in England. "The
sort of people who used to read
these are now as easily amused
by TV," said Mr. Barker. who
added an emphatic mo" when
asked If English television is as
bad as ours.
While American publisher,
sell more books per capita ir
the United States than English
publishers do in Britain, Mr.
Evening star., 1963-05-19

Barker said the British export
more books.
"Britains are very big readers,
but unhappily they are bigger
book borrowers than buyers. "
Mr.. Barker attended publish
ers' meetings in New York and
is in Washington this week end
to negotiate with USIA in over
seas distribution of books. I'VE
both have similar programs and
since there is some overlapping,
Evening star., 1963-05-19

we are making some efforts to
work together"
Mr.. Barker, who with his wife
and three children lives in Lon
don relaxes by reading thrill
ers" and by writing them. He
has published two serious novels
and four mysteries, under the
non de plume Of E. B. Roland.
1T has been said that detec-
tive stories are written by in
duction and read by deduction,
Evening star., 1963-05-19

Figuring out the plot, to throw
confusion along the way, is
what takes the time. I wrote
The Cat and Fiddle Murders
in three weeks but it took six
months to think UP the plot"
On his first trip to the United
States, Mr.. Barker saw his first
baseball game and called the
sport much more complicated
than cricket" Misunderstanding
was no doubt abetted by the
fact the team that saw in action
was the Nets.

JIM BISHOP
Born Loser Bets
On Handicapped

The men in her profession
do not like her. She knows
it. She has learned to live
with it. Mrs. Jobie Arnold is
the only woman horse hand
icapper in America. What's
worse is that she ranks
among the top five. She is
80, has serious brown eyes
edged with sun squints, mo-
lasses skin, a trim body and
strong hands.
A week ago, she left Gulf
stream Park to head north
with all the other thorough
breds. In the Miami Herald,
which publishes her racing
selections, Jobie had finished
second to Russ Harris. Both
averaged SO per cent In pick
ing winners. That's about
tops. The best of them get
two wrong for every good one.
THE MEN USE mathemat-
les as a basis for picking
winners. They go on past
performances, weight, dis
tance, recent workouts, train
er, and the caliber Of nags
the horse is pitted against.
1t is work which can be done
at a desk in a den.
Evening star., 1963-05-03

Mrs. Arnold was raised In
Lexington, KY. Her mother
was an accomplished horse
woman. Her father was a
mechanical engineer. So she
has a natural love of horses
and an appreciation for
mathematics. She is probably
the only h orse Handicapped
In the country who gets out
