Is an effective reputation Of
the Saturday Evening Post
article Of last December.
1t sets forth, too, the basic
reason why the governor
came down to Congress last
week to ask for housing al
lowances for 20 top members
Of USUN so that they can
entertain foreign U. N. diplo-
mats in their own homes In
the most expensive city in
the country.
To quote Mr.. Lyon: "Since
every available hour is taken
UP with private homework
and public debate, the only
time a man can find to nego-
tiate and consult with his op-
posite numbers from the
delegation Of other countries
is at lunch, over cocktails and
at dinner"
DURING FIVE DAYS last
fall, writes Mr.. Lyon, Adlai
Stevenson lunched with q
Thant one day, the Belgian
. representative the next, the
foreign minister Of Israel the
next, gave a luncheon for
Nehru's daughter ON the next,
and on the fifth day lunched
with members Of the Ameri-
can Bar Association. (He re-
gretted three other luncheons.
Those same five days he
attended 13 receptions given
by the top representatives Of
13 countries, gave one him
self, gave a dinner for Prince
FaiSal Of Saudi Arabia, and
joined Secretary Of State
Rusk In giving two buffet
dinners for a total Of 112 for
eign ministers and u. N. dele
gates, having declined invita-
tions to four other diplomatic
dinners.
And all these to-do's go by
the joyous title Of "partiesl"
Incidentally, the article
also notes that among the
mementoes In the small
drawing room Of the Ambas-
sador's official residence or
the top floor Of the waldorf
Towers are two items from
the John Kennedys.

The beloved director Of the

who helped stabilize the world

a wise and witty man.. :.
"a giant among men,. :.

I never saw the Swedish fl
nancial genius that he didn't
have a delightful new story.
You know what a monastery
is?" he would ask, the cher
ubic face on his big body
wreathed in smiles. "a home
for unwed fathers"
There wasn't q dry eye in
the Washington Cathedral
when Dean Francis Sayre
read q letter to his widow
from one of their sons-in-
law. In 1t he quoted an old
Icelandic quatrain adapted
to the occasion:
Angels In heaven know It
best
Who saw him mount the

STEVENSON indicating the

Actually the picture is not
Of him but Of a bronze sculp-

Patricia Brooks, who will

sang in the opera Caroline

She played the role Of the

performance of "L'Enfant ct

loved 1t so she had to be vir-
tually dragged out when it
was over.
In fact, she cried when
she wasn't allowed to go back

cause Of the picture-taking,

On June 8 maybe she will

Small Schools
Urged TO Take
Broader Role

Private or independent
schools should become more in
volved In helping TO solve the
problems of education general
", it was suggested last night.
John Chandler, jr.. president
Of the 720-member National
Association of Independent
Schools. Boston, named two
ways in which their role might
be strengthened:
One Is to reach out more to
provide educational opportuni-
ties for children from cul-
turally deprived areas.
Another Is to make available
10 other schools the benefits of
their research and significant
developments.
Here for Meeting
Mr.. Chandler was here to ad-
dress the annual meeting of
the Independent School Asso-
citation of Greater Washington
at the new Holton Arms School
campus. He was introduced by
Paul Banfield. headmaster of
Landon School and president
of the area association.
Mr.. Chandler said the effort
Of independent schools thus
far in reaching out to young
sters from culturally deprived
areas represents a very small
drop in a large bucket"
But he reported some APP
proach in this direction had
been made in Philadelphia. for
example, and was under con-
sideration in Boston. Summer
programs in reading and other
enrichment, working In CO.
operation with public schools.
offer opportunities for a start,
he pointed out.
Sees Some Danger
Noting that independent
schools enjoy ideal conditions
under which to try and test
new hypothesis. Mr.. Chandler
questioned whether they were
taking advantage Of the situa-
ton to produce programs, ma
terials and techniques to con-
tribute to the profession at
large.
There is a danger, he sug-
gested, that the independent
schools may become so salts
fled with the academic per-
Torrance of their students
that they are content to main-
tain 1.-THE status quo"

Motion for Dismissal
When Mrs. Iacone's attor-

Mr.. Spatola's case against her,
his attorney, Edward L. Carey,
stated in the court records that
she and her lawyers knew full
well she was not a resident of

she secured the divorce.
Under cross-examination
Mr.. Spatola heatedly denied
that he was seeking $4,000
in order to drop the entire

during their marriage he
worked for his wife at her busi-
ness establishment. the Deb

Chairman William j. Stevens
urged that the present BIO
tracks in Prince Georges
County, through College Park,
Beltsville and Hyattsville, be
used as q test area to see If
commuters are willing to use
rapid transit.
Parking Space Needed
IF we provide parking spaces
for 500 automobiles at these
stations, we can get a true pic
ture Of how people would &C
cept a rapid rail system to
downtown" he said.
Another Prince Georges men,
ber, John A. Schiebel said; "In
my opinion, rail rapid transit
already is old-fashioned. People
prefer to drive their own auto
mobiles for comfort and enjoy
ment and I don't think they
would use a train system"
Mr.. Brewer agreed that
Montgomery commuters prob
ably would prefer to drive their
own cars into Washington, de-
spite the high cost Of parking
lots.
In other business, planners
indorsed a site in Beltsville for
the experimental test center OF
