"Only the names changed"
said the Ambassador of the
new Federation of Malaysia,
who only two days ago was
the Ambassador from Malaga.
Sharp-eyed guests at his
reception last night however
spotted a few extra stripes
and points on the star Of the
old Malayan flag, nodded in
icing across the top of a big
cake.
But Ambassador Ong didn't
have to present new creden-
tials to the President, or go
through any other diplomatic
formalities to take over as
representative from a much
greater segment of the
worlds people and land.
Federation foes, the Philip
pines and Indonesia, were not
represented at the lively par
ty, which found vacationing
ambassadors back at their
Washington posts.
Vying with Malaysia for
top topic among guests was
the vicious church bombing
in Birmingham. and racial
tensions generally.
One sidelight on the epic
August % march came from
an African diplomat, who like
most of his colleagues was
glued to a television set
throughout the day.
Warned Away
II would like to have been
there. but the State Depart
ment warned us away" he
explained. The Protocol Of
flee apparently answered
march queries from officials
Of African embassies by urg-
ing them to stay away from
the march.
Fearing, like many Ameri-
cans, the possibility Of vio-
lence, Protocol apparently
said it could not take respon-
sibility for the unpredictable
and possibly explosive DEM
onstration, which could result
In injury to a diplomat
caught in any melee.
This diplomat called this a
main reason why diplomats
from African embassies
stayed away in droves though
they were probably as in
tensely and personally inter-
ested in the march as anyone
In America.
A m b assa dor Pinto of
Dahomey expressed his dis
appointment at not seeing
the March in person. He
saw films Of it, but found
them inadequate. The envoy
has just returned from two
months in Dahomey and will
leave Washington again for
his dual post as ambassador
to the United Nations.

warmed by strings OF colored
lights strung across the en-
bassy garden and trees. In

the Indian Ambassador, also

A handful of guests headed
by Mrs. Dean RuSk arrived
from a small reception at the
Cambodian Embassy. Assist

Mrs. Roger Hilsman, and

among them.
