MODERN MANNERS.
Departing Can
Be Such Sorrow
BY CAROLYN HAeNER SHAW

The story which I am
about TO relate concerns q
problem with which we are
al familiar. As most Of US at
one time or another are on
the receiving end Of such 9
situation and know its irrita-
tons. the wonder Is that such
Q problem exists. But it's easy
to criticize others and then
turn around and do the same
thing ourselves. And SON
with the storyI
Last Friday evening, the
Browns invited the mexperi-
enceds for cocktails and din
ner at 2. Dinner was over at
$3.50. No special plans had
been made for the evening,
Just talk, but midnight found
the Inexperienceds still there.
Mrs. Brown was white with
fatigue; Mr.. Brown fought
valiantly to keep his eyes
open.
How nice that tomorrow Is
Saturday." chirped Mrs. In
experienced, I'VE can all sleep
late" Not In our family"
laughed Mrs. Brown. MY
husband goes to work as
usual. and Of course the chill
dren get up Is early as on
any other day." still no signs
Of leaving on the part Of the
Inexperienceds.
Mrs. Brown. IN desperation,
then did everything outside
Of being downright rude,
using several ruses, such as
calling attention to the
moonlight outside Crying to
get them on their feet),
emptying ashtrays. excusing
herself to see If the children
were all right. Mr.. Brown
even wound his watch, rather
too significantly But the IN
experiences stayed on. and
on, finally taking their reluc-
tant leave at ! am.
How 10 cope with the guest
who doesn't know when to go
homer One solution Is to be
frank when the invitation Is
extended. "Come at 7 so Wen
have plenty Of time. You see
we always are In bed by IL
because we have to rise so
early" And when 1880 or so
arrives, II the guests show no
signs Of departure, simply
stand and say, I'm sorry we
have to keep such early hours.
The evening has been all too
short"
The only other alternative
when guests stay on to the
discomfort Of their hosts, u
an outright reminder Of the
lateness Of the hour. In the
case I have mentioned, ]
think It IL justified. and Il
not the rudeness 1t seems
Those who have the thought.
less habit Of staying shoulI
be reminded Of their lack o
consideration for others, anc
forthrightness on the part Of
the hosts Is the only sensible
course to take.
While on the subject of
leaving, when you start to
leave, LEAVEl There is moth
ing on earth more irritating
than the guest who stands
forever at the door saying
farewells intersperSed with
some piece Of gossip that has
not been touched upon dur
ing the evening. The cold
takes over while you stand
first on one foot and then
the other. II, as q guest, you
want q return invitation,
avoid this habit like the
plague.

with internal questions. how
ever, is neither consistent
nor courageous. When India
deliberately took over the
Portuguese territory Of Goa,
the United Nations failed to
protect Goa, though the
United States denounced the
takeover. Nor did the U. N.
insist on sending its investi-
eating committee into Hun
gary to get the facts about
the Soviet military invasion
Of that country and the i'm
position Of measures that
suppressed the free govern
ment in Budapest.
In brief, the U. N. has
been of no help in curbing
Soviet colonialism, and it has
acquiesced in the continued
domination by the Moscow
government over the captive
peoples Of East Germany,
Hungary, Rumania, Poland,
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia,
Esthonia, Lthuania and
Latvia.
Certainly the "apartheid"
which the Soviet government
has established by its rule
over peoples Of many nation

a threat to international

the U. N. political code
means catering to the new At

naive and inexperienced
leaders may some day find
the U. N. intervening in their

at that time American tax

Regulatory Agencies Cautioned

Committee was actually seek
ing to direct the policies Of
these agencies through Ian
guage in a report which
could not be amended on the
floor and did not reflect any
larger consensus.
The commissioners know
they can legally ignore these
instructions. The FEC and
the FPC are in fact proceed
ing with the controversial
hearings. But they also know
they can be penaliZed for dis
obedience in next years ap-
preparations. This is the lev
erage that Congress main
tains against the indepen-
dent commissions.
The Senate incident i'm
presses the commissioners as
a new symptom that congress
sional sentiment is swinging
against their exertions.
These agencies had grown
languid in the Eisenhower
years and the New Frontier
appointees hoped to recharge
their sense of purpose.
They had the encourage
ment of the Harris subcom-
mittee, which probed the de-
ficiencieS in regulatory OPP
erations and oncluded in
1860 that the agencies could
not assume a passive attitude
toward the existing accumu-
lations of economic power.
Where a commission takes a
passive view of its role" the
subcommittee asserted, lit is
clear that the public interest
suffers by default"
A sharp struggle looms
ahead between the passivists
and the activists on the basic
issue of regulation. Much will
depend on the further mani
feStations of Mr.. Johnson's
viewpoint.

The commissioners Of the

by Congress to restrain their

The warning was a gentle

clared that he intended to
continue the work of his

field.

Talk Tuesday by Johnson Viewed
As Chance to Raise Its Moral Tone
DAVID LAWRENCE

President johnson has q
significant opportunity to
raise the moral tone Of the
United Nations when he ad-
dresses 1t next Tuesday in
New York. For the q. N. has
deteriorated into a political
machine largely directed by
Moscow with the aid Of the
so-called Afro-Asian bloc.
Instead Of. functioning as
an organization dedicated to
the political independence
and self-determination of
member states, the U. N. now
actually passes resolutions
interfering with the internal
affairs of certain non-Com-
munist countries, but refuses
to apply equal treatment to
govern m e n is which keep
their peoples enslaved as the
right Of self-determination is
denied them.
The latest example Of the
political chicanery practiced
by the o. N. came at q time
when the peoples Of the Free
World were absorbed in
studying the news of a
change in the Presidency Of
the United States and the
after-effects. 1t perhaps is
not yet realized that the U.N.
Security Council unani-
mouSly passed a few days
ago a resolution calling on
its members to impose an
embargo on the Republic of
South Africa just because
InaL country'S racial pollcleS
are considered improper. I'm
plicit in the resolution are
threats Of even stronger ac-
ton If South Africa fails to
conform its internal policies
to the U. MS demand.
The U. N. charter permits
resolutions to embargo arms
shipments when there is a
threat to international peace,
but 1t can hardly be persua-
sively commended that the in
ternal districting Of Negroes
and whites in separate resi-
Dental areas-objectionable
as it may be to many people
is by any stretch Of the
Imagination or by any rule of
international law a threat to

Excuse my preoccupied
look. But I went to hear a
speech in defense of robots.
1t was by Mr.. Gerard Piel,
the publisher Of Scientific
American and one of the
most brilliant, articulate, en-
Zig htened spokesman our
scientists have got. And our
robots, too.
Mr.. Piel said we laymen
shouldn't get mad at all ro-
bots just because some robots
are taking our jobs away
from us through attenuation.
Which is certainly true. Be-
cause, he said with a scien-
lists pride, robots are at last
relieving us from the kind of
mindless drudgery mot fit
for men to perform" Which
is certainly true. And, he
said, we should send robots
to the moon. Which Is GER
tainly interesting.
Mr.. Piel, like many scien-
fists these days, said we
should send robots to the
moon instead Of human
beings, because robots can
perform this historic feat of
exploration more econom-
ically, more quickly, more &C.
curately and. above all, more
efficiently. And I'm sure he's
right.
But, as I say, the whole
things given me a preoccu-
pied look. What preoccupieS
me is what's going to happen

States took in this strange
episode-including q vote for
the resolutions defended
here in the State Depart
ment as one Of desirable ex-
pediency. It Is conceded that
the q. N. is acting in q one
sided manner. but the point
is made that the United
States did succeed in its ef-
fort to keep the arms-embar-
go resolution voluntary rath-
er than mandatory and did
succeed in preventing an oil
embargo from being imposed
also.
A rule Of expediency is
characteristic Of political be-
havior, though it is often I'M
moral. The United States in
the past has proclaimed
some basic principles in Civ
ing its support to the charter
Of the United Nations. But,
unfortunately, principles now
have been swept aside. and
the faction In the q. N.
which has gained by such
tactics Is the one that is
closest to Moscow. Indeed,
the whole plan for imposing
an arms embargo was I'M
doubtedly engineered by the
Kremlin as a means Of lining
up allies for the Soviet Union
among the African nations.
If the q. N. is to be operated,
however, on the basis Of
what will please the maxi
mum number Of govern
ments, irrespective Of their
fidelity to principle or their
concern for international
law, then the value Of the or
ganization itself in future
years will steadily diminish.
The whole question Is to-
day being treated superficial
ly in America. Many
thoughtful people. for in
stance, have suggested that
the time may have to come
to consider American with
drawal from the U. NJ, only
to be aSsailed as not interest
ed in world peace. The argu-
ment is advanced that the U.
N. is really a useful force for
international peace and only
incidentally a political tool Of
the Kremlin.
