He added that as power
increases "there Is need for a
corresponding increase In the
recognition Of responsibility
on the part Of those who
possess such power and Of the
application Of moral as well

This applies to all concern

whether they occur in indus

Those who declare that the
same standards ought to be

"as we use In our own homes

now Is more conservative

tional capabilities and i.
aspirations"
Explaining his govern
ment's role In the National
Theater project and the per-
forming arts In general, the
Ambassador defined the prin-
ciples behind government as
sistance and the absolute
necessity for collective pa
tronage" through state and
municipal institutions In lieu
Of the former private patron
age accorded the performing
arts.
There is nothing "consti-
tutionally alien" to q free
society in seeking and ac-
cepting such assistance, he
said, so long as the respect
for the independent and
original mind, even the &C.
centric individual" is pre-
served, and that any real is
sue be debatable within the
limits Of decency.
Not wishing to discourage
individual enterprise and the
self-sacrifice which often
seems q companion of great
art, he listed as a central
objective to find a way
whereby the government can
fairly pay the piper without
succumbing to the temptation
Of calling the tune"
In the art field, q demo-
cratic government must
strike o harmonious balance
between conserving the ma
tional traditions in the thea
ter. and encouraging creative
departure from such tradi-
tons.
In Britain, the Arts Coun-
ell has this ticklish job and
is equipped with certain
checks that keep 1t from be-

Artists Give Views
Of Audiences Abroad

In India 1t was q football
puppet playing before an au-
dience Of thousands which
said. IT am the face Of
America"
In Australia and the Far
East q handsome young Negro
and his troupe Of II dancers
brought American Negro folk
music to art-hungly peoples,
and found that sometimes
their greatest impact as
Americans took place as often
on the streets as on the
stage.
In Thailand, It was the
leaping grace Of a renowned
dance troupe which caught
the rapt attention Of q group
Of devout, yellow-robed Bud
dhist monks. Here, q man
lifted O woman lightly into
the air before the eyes Of
men who had never even seen
q man touch q woman.
The three stories were told
ct yesterdays afternoon ses-
sion of the 1868 American
National Theater and Acad-
envy Assembly, meeting at the
international Inn through
Wednesday.
The Artists Impression Of
Foreign Audiences was given
by four major artists who
have made tours abroad
under State Department Gull

Mr.. Alvin Alley, director
and choreographer Of the
Alvin Alley Dance Theater,
took his dancers through 10
countries. "They understood
u.s." he said. Folk music Is
q part Of everyone's culture
they saw US using our
own native material In Aus
tralia and were reawakened
to rediscover and use their
own materials" he added. His
primarily Negro company was
asked few questions about
racial problems here.
The famous puppeteers. Bill
and Cora Baird, described
their tour through India, Ne
pal and Afghanistan. In
India, where puppeteering
used to be subsidized by the
rajahs, their art, which they
called q "synthesis Of all the
arts" was completely under
stood and accepted. In Nepal,
audiences weren't quite sure
the puppets weren't alive.
Miss Martha Graham,
noted dancer and choreogra-
pher, said her audiences ell
Their liked or didn't-but al

Other panelists included

Misleading slogans 'have
come to interfere with clear
thinking and decisions in
Federal fiscal and economic
policy, Senator Eugene Nc
Carthy Of Minnesota told the
Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club yesterday.
Three fiscal misconcep-
tons which have caused par
ticular difficulty. Senator
Mccarthy said. are:
"The idea that q balanced
budget is always the greatest
good, that absolute control
Of initiation is not only an
economic but also q moral
good, and that Government
expenditures are somehow by
their very nature very waste
full and non-economic."
Stresses Perspective
Each Of the three con-
cepts-a balanced budget,
control Of initiation. and
governmental spen ding
must be judged In the light
Of the whole context Of ma
tional needs. particularly in
relation to war and peace"
the Senator declared.
He added that they must
also be judged at any given
time "in the light Of the
condition and the movement
Of the economy Of the United
States, and beyond that. the
international economy OF
which we are q part"
The old theory that Fed
eral expenditures and Fed
eral deficits can be justified
only to control recessions is
'as outdated as are Newton's
theories in the field Of
physics" the Senator de-
clared.
One Of the difficulties in
getting acceptance Of the
Presidents proposal for q
tax cut arises from failure
to accept the idea that Fed
eral action might be taken In
order to move the economy
from one level to a higher
level without an intervening
recession or depression" he
said.
Taking issue with the ira
ditional view that additional
capital investment is neces-
sarily the solution to every
recession and showdown in
economic expansion, Senator
Mccarthy said: I'VE must
give attention today to the
obvious need REFLECTED in
high unemployment for pol
icies which will give greater
emphasis to growing needs
for personal services Of all
kinds"

Kidnop Soccer Star

CARACAS, Venezuela, Aug
"a (AP).-Terrorists kidnapped
an international soccer star
from his hotel room today
hours after snipers fired shots
at police guards at a soccer
game attended by President
Romulo Betancourt's wife and
daughter.
Argentine-born Alfredo di
Stefano, center forward on the
Real Madrid soccer team OF
Spain, was said by a hotel con-
cierge to have been taken from
his room at 6 am. by men
posing as narcotics agents.
Newspapers reported later
they received anonymous tele-
phone calls saying the seizure
of Mr.. di Stefano was another
publicity effort of the Armed
Forces for National Liberation
tFALN. which seeks to topple
the Betancourt regime. FALN
is a pro-Communist, pro- Castro
organization which also has
been carrying out sabotage
against United States business
interests in Venezuela.
The newspaper Ell Mundo re-
ported that one caller said:
For political reasons we will
not harm di Stefano. We will
not ask ransom.
Other newspapers reported
similar calls.
Authorities recalled an Incl
dent in 1858 when Fidel Cas-
tro'S rebel bands kidnapped
Argentine race driver Juan
Manuel Fangio in Havana but
