trade accords; and Managing the Environment: International Cooperation for Pollution Control, which discusses the international accords that must be arrived at if we are to control pollution and at the same time not erect new non-tariff barriers.

Because of the nature of our work we at the Council are sensitive to the fact that there are very few international issues which the United States can safely decide alone. These things must be done in consultation and agreement with our partners.

We think that we are faced with a unique opportunity to organize international affairs for a peaceful and economically productive era, but this country can't do it alone. We must do it in concert with others.

The SALT Agreements, the German Accords, the Moscow Agreement are but first steps, made possible by long and patient efforts not only of this but of preceding administrations in both North America and Western Europe.

At such a time, when there is movement and a willingness to negotiate on both sides of the Iron Curtain, it would be in the best interest of the United States to exhibit a steadiness of purpose rather than any sudden or unilateral action which might cause either our allies or our adversaries to doubt our intentions.

NATO is a case in point. This organization has been a success, according to anyone's standards. The Europeans are progressively bearing more of a share of the burden. The case hardly needs making that a peaceful and secure Europe is as much in the interests of the United States as it is of Europe.

There has been much talk of a drastic reduction of troops in Europe. If this is a result of an American decision alone, we think the results would be unfortunate. We favor a Mutual and Balanced Force Reduction within the context of Alliance policy. We think there would be little or no incentive for such a mutual reduction if the leading member of one coalition unilaterally reduced its forces substantially. As a matter of fact, through the years there has been some gradual reduction of U.S. troops in Europe as the effectiveness of weapons has increased. Although it was controversial within our own Committee and not unanimous, one of the recommendations of our study, *Detente Diplomacy*, is that the United States might make a small reduction as a "pot sweetener" for negotiations, but only within the context of agreed alliance policy and with no further reductions except on a mutual and balanced basis.

Maintaining the strength and understanding and steadfastness of NATO is the foundation on which other initiatives for peace and security in the world must rest.

[c]

The agenda for the future, therefore, should be:

Mutual and Balanced Force reductions in Europe in concert with our partners and in negotiation with the Warsaw Pact.

Visible trade and monetary negotiations to underpin
the economic well-being of the free world.

Gradual relaxation of trade restrictions with the
Communist world.

A new round of SALT negotiations hopefully freezing
development of new weapons systems and a permanent offensive
weapons treaty, followed by Disarmament negotiations looking
toward the reciprocal and verified dismantling of some of the
systems that already exist.

Participation in and leadership of the proposed
European Security Conference, seeking among other things to ease
the movement of peoples and the flow of information between both
parts of Europe.

There is much else, Mr. Chairman, that we might say but
these are the principal points we would hope to see stressed in
the Democratic Platform.

I submit, for the Record, a list of the officers and
directors of The Atlantic Council of the United States.

Thank you, on their behalf, as well as mine, for hearing me.

ATLANTIC TREATY ASSOCIATION
ASSOCIATION DU TRAITÉ ATLANTIQUE

EIGHTEENTH A.T.A. ANNUAL ASSEMBLY IN ISTANBUL - FINAL RESOLUTION

1. The 18th Annual Assembly of the Atlantic Treaty Association was held in Istanbul (10-15 September, 1972).

2. Introductory addresses were given by the Turkish Foreign Minister, Mr. Umit Haluk Baytilken, and by the Secretary General of NATO, Mr. Joseph Luns. A political-economic report was presented by Ambassador Tuthill, a political-military report by General Houssay, and a report on information activities by Mr. Dake, Chairman of the A.T.A. Information Working Group. The Assembly was also addressed by General Steinhoff, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, General Goodpaster, Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and Admiral Colbert, Commander-in-Chief, Allied Forces Southern Europe.

3. The theme of this meeting was "Europe's New Role in the Evolving Atlantic Alliance". The Assembly discussed this theme and the general prospects of the Alliance in their political, military and economic aspects, which they found to be closely inter-related. They came to the following conclusions.

SECURITY

4. For 23 years the Pax Atlantica has preserved the security of the Allied countries. It has made possible the economic recovery and the moves towards unification of Western Europe, and has now permitted an approach to East-West negotiations.

5. Nevertheless a potential threat remains. The capability of the armed forces of the Warsaw Pact continues to increase in relation to that of the NATO countries and goes far beyond what is required for defence. There are many areas of conflict and instability in the world and many situations which can be exploited by hostile subversion. It would be extremely dangerous to rely upon Soviet intentions, especially since their growing military capability gives them increased political leverage. Adequate Western defence against threats of all kinds remains essential to remove the temptation of military adventure or political blackmail.

6. Defence of the flank regions is indivisible from that of the centre. Unhindered access to the oil resources of the Middle East and Mediterranean is of increasing importance to all members of the Alliance. The recent withdrawal of some Soviet personnel from Egypt perhaps provides an opportunity for new Western initiatives.

7. The Assembly endorsed the hope that further contacts with the countries of Eastern Europe may lead to a reduction of the causes of tension and to a measure of disarmament which will not impair the security of the Alliance. It warned, however, against premature optimism that progress would be easy or rapid, and against the propaganda which seeks to use détente as a means of dividing the members of the Alliance.

8. It urged in particular that in the approach to a Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, the Western Governments should define their objectives and state them publicly in advance. These objectives would include the freer movement of people, ideas and information; the solemn recognition that no country has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of another or to prejudice its right of self-determination, whatever the relations between them; and negotiation looking towards Mutual and Balanced Force

- 1 -

16. The steps taken towards monetary union within the European Community and the growing integration of Western European economies offer a chance for the Alliance. However, the chances of success of the European partners should not be endangered by lack of attention to the problems involved behind purely monetary considerations. During the last few years a serious threat has developed to the orderly regulation of international trade. The Allied countries must promptly reach agreement on a revision of the basic rules and principles governing trade practices for agricultural as well as industrial goods.

17. The necessity for more political cohesion as well as institutional changes within the present framework should be recognized. A new and more effective co-ordination of economic policy between the European Community and North America is essential. NATO Allies such as Turkey and Greece (who have association agreements with the EEC and hope to become full members of the Community) should have a greater voice in the emerging integrated Europe and their interests, which are so vital to the Alliance, should be taken into consideration by the other NATO countries.

With regard to relations with the outside world, the following matters require the utmost attention of the NATO countries.

18. In the course of their preparation for a Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, the NATO Allies should begin actively to seek common ground on trade and credit conditions in their relations with the countries of Eastern Europe.

19. As a group of nations with world-wide interests, the members of the Alliance should assist developing countries by raising the level of financial and technical aid and by providing considerably greater access to the markets of the developed world.

20. Finally, relations with Japan should be conducted in a new spirit and if necessary in a new institutional framework. Effective ways and means must be found to bring the Japanese Government and private sectors increasingly into closer collaboration with NATO countries on basic policy issues.

## INFORMATION

21. The Assembly gave general approval to the first report of the newly created Information Working Group (which is attached to this Resolution) and endorsed the following particular recommendations:

22. Support should be given to the continued existence of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. This would be in the interest of all members of the Alliance and consistent with the principle of freedom of information incorporated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Part of the cost of these networks should therefore be shared between the European members of the Alliance on an equitable basis; in which case means must also be found to associate countries so contributing with their general direction without, however, impairing their effective and independent operation.

23. The A.T.A. should compile for publication a Grey Book providing factual statements about the impediments to the free flow of information to and from communist countries.

24. With regard to the methods of information work, the Assembly recognized that National Associations face different conditions and have different problems and responsibilities. The major responsibility of the National Associations is to direct their information activities towards the youth in each country and this is best accomplished by the continual updating of methods and taking advantage of imaginative techniques.

25. The Council should investigate the best methods of increasing the representation of youth in the National Associations and in the Assembly.

26. The International Secretariat should be composed and organized in such a way as to facilitate the maximum interchange of information methods and materials between the National Associations and affiliated specialist bodies such as the Atlantic Information Centre for Teachers (A.I.C.T.).

ATLANTIC TREATY ASSOCIATION
ASSOCIATION DU TRAITE ATLANTIQUE

REPORT OF THE A.T.A. INFORMATION WORKING GROUP

presented at the 18th Annual Assembly of the A.T.A. in Istanbul (11-15 September 1972)

It will be readily understood that if we are to build an efficient system to disseminate information we must have a clear policy directive.

We must, in short, know what information we are to convey.

We would hope therefore that the A.T.A. Council and Assembly can give us confirmation that we are correct in assuming our policy to be based on the following:

I. AIMS

In 1979 the Atlantic Alliance will enter its fourth decade. The Atlantic Treaty Association (A.T.A.) must bring home even more strongly to the public of the member countries that NATO, the great defensive alliance of free and peace-loving nations, will be just as indispensable in the future.

The readiness for defence of the Western peoples must not grow weary. The defence potential of the Allied armies must have the strength to deter - as has been the case so far - any potential aggressor, and thus maintain peace. The integrated command structure will continue to be the precondition for the military effectiveness of NATO.

It is our hope that European unification will proceed and that Western Europe as a whole will gain greater political, economic and military weight. Nevertheless, such a Western Europe also needs military support and the political partnership of the United States of America. It would be in a better position to ease the burden of its transatlantic partner, but it is essential that American soldiers should remain stationed in Europe in sufficient strength.

It is hoped that the process of détente will continue and that a rapprochement of the United States and the Soviet Union will be paralleled by a rapprochement of West and East Europe - both harmonized within the Atlantic Alliance. But whatever new arrangements are reached, they must not loosen the ties between Western Europe and the United States and must not weaken NATO. Measures of arms control in East and West are desirable, but only within the framework of the full defence capacity of the overall Atlantic Alliance area.

II. METHODS

1. The Working Group of the A.T.A. Information Committee feels it should be authorized to suggest themes for forthcoming General Assemblies so that the Council may consider them before making its final choice. Since these assemblies provide a good opportunity to get the NATO message across to the public, it is felt that information experts may be useful in helping to find the best way of presenting a topical theme.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Forgive us for turning to you in these busy days with our request for your consideration and assistance to us. We write you because of your known interest in community-initiated volunteer efforts. Ours, as you can judge from the enclosure, are in behalf of the amicable settlement of human disputes that would otherwise further clog the court calendars and burden the taxpayers.

We are in the process of expanding the services of the Jewish Conciliation Board to the Jewish and, as a direct consequence, to the general community. As one step in that process, we are preparing a fuller statement of our purpose and history during the more than fifty years of our existence.

In that document we would like to include comments as to the values of our program of conciliation and arbitration. We are therefore approaching outstanding Americans for their views.

Would you, as one whose judgment naturally commands wide attention and respect, be good enough to send us a statement for use in these plans for the extension of our community services?

Please accept our sincere appreciation for any cooperation you may extend us.

# THE JEWISH CONCILIATION BOARD
## A Statement of Purpose

The Jewish Conciliation Board of America (J.C.B.) is a voluntary institution that has been in existence for over 50 years. Its purpose is to settle disputes arising within the Jewish community. These disputes involve synagogues, lodges, fraternal and benevolent societies and other communal organizations as well as individuals involved in controversy with these groups or tragically enmeshed in personal and family difficulties.

The Jewish Conciliation Board attempts to carry out its mission within the traditional Jewish ideals of justice attained simply, without complexities, without warranted delays, and _without any cost to those involved in the disputes._

In essence, the J.C.B. strives to bring to a settlement of disputes what its three initials represent: Justice - Compassion - and Benevolence.

Many of the disputes brought to the Jewish Conciliation Board involve community practices and procedures or traditions and customs that a secular court would find difficult to grasp and next to impossible to deal with. Often, those involved in the disputes are inhibited in the formal atmosphere of a formal court by language and other difficulties. Many of them are also troubled by a feeling, however, unwarranted, that they may encounter misunderstanding and even ridicule. The J.C.B. is in existence to help these people and to resolve their conflicts.

The procedure used is simple:

A complaint is brought to the attention of the J.C.B.

## ADDITIONAL JUDGES

Page 2

A full report is then compiled on the individuals and organizations involved in the dispute and on its history. The grievance is summarized and attested to by the complainant. If a governmental or private agency (such as an institution of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies) can handle the problem, the individual is referred to them. A follow-up process by the J.C.B. seeks to assure that suitable action has, in fact, been taken.

If the complaint is not of such a character, if it does require further action, the J.C.B. proceeds with an effort to conciliate both parties so as to have them settle their disputes through direct friendly intercession. Both parties are persuaded to sign a statement to accept the decision of a panel of arbitrators and conciliators convened by the J.C.B.

Each panel consists of a businessman, a lawyer and a Rabbi; often, too, with a psychiatrist as a member of the panel or as a consultant.

There are no rigid procedures, no technicalities, no formal courtroom practices. There is only the human exchange with an impartial group of people of standing in the community who have a varied background of life-experience and who are possessed of insights into the human condition.

These panel members volunteer their services; their only aim is to bring about a settlement in a spirit of fairness and compassion as well as justice.

Their decision is then binding on both parties to the dispute in accordance with the arbitration laws of the State of New York.

It is hard to estimate how much this service that has been provided for, and is available to, hundreds and thousands each year, saves the principals in such disputes, many of whom are poor and old and often with an understandable shyness and even fear of the civil courts.

It would be even harder to estimate the savings to the city's already crowded court calendar and to the taxpayer.

Long Meeting With Bruce

# Kissinger Visits Paris; Shuns Talks With Reds

By Anatole Shub

PARIS, July 12 (WP).—Henry A. Kissinger, President Nixon's national security adviser, conferred here intensively today on Vietnam peace prospects with David K. E. Bruce, chief U.S. negotiator at the Paris peace talks.

The two high officials conferred seven hours during the day, and Mr. Kissinger's return flight to Washington—originally scheduled for late afternoon—was postponed until late tonight.

Although there was considerable speculation that Mr. Kissinger might meet here with Le Duc Tho, the North Vietnamese Politburo member whose return to Paris June 24 reactivated the deadlocked peace talks, U.S. sources insisted that Mr. Kissinger had had no intention of seeking such a meeting and none was being arranged.

With newsmen mounting all-day watches at both the U.S.

Embassy and the residence of U.S. Ambassador Arthur K. Watson, where Mr. Kissinger spent the afternoon, there was no evidence to support the rumor that Mr. Kissinger might make a Houdini-like move to meet the North Vietnamese leader.

Observers believed that, if there had been any private contacts between the Americans and North Vietnamese here, they could only have been among lower-level officials.

Even if none of the speculation about secret talks was true, it was obvious that Mr. Kissinger and Mr. Bruce had much to talk about, in the wake of the new Communist seven-point peace proposal brought here by Le Duc Tho and formally placed on the negotiating table July 1 by Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh of the Viet Cong. The plan, in addition to offering simultaneous release of

(Continued on Page 2, Col. 5)

lem, said two Sukhoi-7 fighter-bombers flew over Israeli positions in the central sector of the waterway.

## 8 Die in Gaza Clashes

TEL AVIV, July 12 (UPI).— Israeli troops clashed twice with Arab guerrillas in a Gaza Strip refugee camp today in fighting that left four persons dead and three wounded.

An announcement from the military command said an Israeli soldier, an Arab guerrilla, a 37-year-old Arab woman and her 9-month-old child were killed while one guerrilla and two 11-year-old girls were wounded.

The fighting began at 9 a.m. in the Jebaliva refugee camp when a group of guerrillas ambushed an Israeli patrol, killing one soldier outright, a spokesman said. Israeli troops chased their attackers and in the ensuing battle the Arab woman and baby were killed and the two girls were wounded. There was no report of guerrilla lossess.

Three hours later, the spokesman said, Israeli troops and guerrillas clashed again in the same camp. This time one guerrilla was reported killed and one wounded against no Israeli losses.

## Guerrillas Claim Copter Crash

BEIRUT, July 12 (UPI).— A leftist Palestinian guerrilla group today claimed responsibility

the days were growing short for monarchy in Jordan.

A leading independent Beirut newspaper, Al Nahar, suggested that Libya might not be the only nation supporting the coup had it been successful. It praised Col. Kazafuy for "showing more courage than other Arab leaders."

Right-wing papers in Beirut applauded the coup failure while left-wing papers deplored it.

The leftist newspaper Al Shaab, which supports Egypt, said: "The Moroccan people have lost a battle but not the war."

## Libyans Feared Seized

TRIPOLI, July 12 (Reuters).— Libya has been unable to contact its diplomatic personnel in Rabat since royal Moroccan forces occupied the embassy building at the weekend after the abortive coup against King Hassan, the Libyan news agency said today.

Last night the Libyan foreign minister called in the Moroccan ambassador here and told him that the Libyan government held Morocco responsible for the safety of its embassy staff and other Libyans in Morocco.

NOVEMBER RETROSPECT

by Pat Eggleston

"Charming" and "brilliant" were adjectives used over and over to describe the November luncheon speaker, Dr. Henry A. Kissinger. Nearly 800 AFOWC members and guests crowded the Capitol Ballroom and International Room to hear-- and see--President Nixon's adviser on national security affairs.

Dr. Kissinger decided against the suggestion that he comment on how he spends his time. He didn't want to ruin the reputation Maxine Cheshire had given him at the September luncheon. Facing up to describing what his job consists of didn't appeal to him either. "I always say it is my job to present to the President the choices on the decisions he has to make." Then Dr. Kissinger wryly added that there were those who accused him of presenting every option from A to B. Instead he chose to make some brief observations on several serious topics before answering questions from the audience.

Recognizing that many of his former colleagues in academic life and some columnists were critical of the military, Dr. Kissinger was warmly applauded when he assured the AFOWC members that as far as the White House is concerned, without the sacrifices of the military families and without the dedication of the husbands, the Administration could not conduct diplomacy. "We will do whatever we can to keep the military strong and to keep the services respected."

On the subject of Viet Nam, he emphasized that it was the desire of the Administration to end the war on a basis which is consistent with the sacrifices that have been made and with the dignity of the United States. He asked for patience on the part of families of POW's and MIA's and assured them that no one can be more interested in getting the prisoners back than the Commander-in-Chief.

November Retrospect

[LC]

In discussing foreign policy, Dr. Kissinger stressed that with the
growth of the nuclear potential and its dangers, diplomacy and military
power must be used in a more sophisticated way. All the complexities of
the various national developments in the Communist countries must be taken
into account. The defense and progress of many areas in the 40's, 50's, and
early 60's depended primarily on American defense whereas in the 1970's
Europe and Japan have regained sufficient strength to assume a greater
responsibility for their own defense. In his view, the Nixon Doctrine is
not isolationist as has been suggested by some critics.

When asked if the timing of his second trip to Peking had influenced
the United Nations vote, Dr. Kissinger responded that after going over the
voting line-up, he did not feel the trip affected the vote. The date of the
second trip had been set in August and could not be delayed. Judging from
past experiences, the UN vote was not expected until November. However, it
was accelerated for reasons that had nothing to do with his trip to Peking.

Asked to comment on our future relations with Japan in light of the
forthcoming trips by President Nixon to Peking and Moscow, Dr. Kissinger
felt that the relationship with Japan would have had to undergo a trans-
formation whether or not the President took a trip. It was not probable
that a country with the national pride and growing economic power of Japan
would not attempt to conduct a more autonomous foreign policy.

In discussing the foreign aid bill, Dr. Kissinger noted that any time
any bill goes through Congress there are whole series of amendments attached.
He is "beginning to think that Cooper-Church is a hyphenated name." Amend-
ments to the foreign aid bill involved in effect cutting off military aid
to Viet Nam and setting a termination date for the war. To set a date might
score a few headlines, but the President needs some measure of ambiguity in
order to leave something to negotiate.

"Would it not have been better to decrease the aid program rather than increase tariffs?" asked one member of the audience. Dr. Kissinger replied that proposals for a restructured aid program had been submitted to Congress in April but had not been acted upon by that body. Over a period of two years the Administration had made proposals to other countries to ease the economic situation, but no remedies were taken by the countries concerned. The Administration was then forced to levy the surcharge to bring home the fact that something fundamental had to be done. He forecast a painful period of adjustment and many complaints in the process, but was optimistic that we will soon be moving in a constructive direction in this area.

Dr. Kissinger's time schedule ran out before the questions did! The Air Force Officers' Wives' Club is very fortunate to have had this opportunity to hear Dr. Kissinger because he accepts few public speaking engagements. Attending the luncheon with him was his aide, Mr. Colman Hicks.

"AD LIBS"

By Janie Kidd

I never realized how quickly the
months rolled by until I acquired this
present job. Seems as though one
magazine is just put to press, and lo!,
another round of ads, selling jobs, and
my little homilies to you, our good,
patriotic members who tell them all,
"I saw it in PROTOCALL!"

Our new florist, *John Sharper, Inc.*,
is a treat for sore eyes. Not since leav-
ing Hawaii have I seen such a gor-
geous array of cut flowers and plants.
Roses, sweetheart and the long-
stemmed variety in all colors,—Birds
of Paradise, Anthurium, Chrysanthe-
mums, Carnations—fresh, tastefully
done in arrangements, a galaxy of

color. Sharper's have twelve green-
houses in conjunction with their shop,
and a farm in Aquasco, Maryland,
where hardier plants are grown. Going
toward Andrews on 495, turn off at
the Barnabas Road exit, turning left
at the bottom of the exit. It is just
about one good block up on the left.
You can see the greenhouses from the
road. It is without a doubt the loveli-
est florist shop with the largest variety
I've seen in this whole, big Washing-
ton area.

Litton Systems, Data Systems Divi-
sion, have taken a full page ad this
month with us. Their purpose is to
wish us well with our magazine, bless
them. It has surely helped our publi-
cation, both financially and estheti-
cally. A great big thank you to Litton!

SEPTEMBER RETROSPECT:

VIP Columnist Captivates AFOWC

by Pat Eggleston

"If you can't say something good about somebody, sit right down here by me!" So says the motto on Alice Roosevelt Longworth's needlepoint pillow, according to Maxine Cheshire, September's guest speaker. OWC members and guests at the luncheon took that as their cue and figuratively cozied up to Mrs. Cheshire to hear the bad—and even at times the good—about celebrities on today's international scene.

Mrs. Cheshire explained that a four-month absence from *The Washington Post* of her VIP (Very Interesting People) column was truly due to illness. Her very presence at the luncheon scotched the rumor that she had left husband Herbert and her four children and had run off with Henry Kissinger. Neither had she been writing a book nor doing a pilot of a talk show with Martha Mitchell called "Hot Line."

Sometimes called "that Cheshire cat," her very feminine appearance and big, blue eyes seemed to belie that sobriquet. Her claws were definitely sheathed when she answered a ques-

tion from the audience as to the woman she herself most admired. "Mrs. Johnson is in every way everything that a woman could be, a wonderful wife, a wonderful mother, a hard-working First Lady, a hard-working business woman; and she has a lovely spirit." "Alice Roosevelt Longworth in her 80's is one of the most extraordinary people who ever lived." Generalizing about First Ladies and politicians' wives, Mrs. Cheshire observed that the men are extraordinarily lucky in the quality of wives they have and that First Ladies always rise to what is expected of them and perform so beautifully. "Marvella Bayh, marvelous Marvella, must be the most astute as far as politicians' wives are concerned."

Standing before an audience of several hundred women, Maxine Cheshire reeled off tales as easily as if she were in her own living room in Alexandria. One of her most delightful stories concerned a long-time resident of Washington who had invited a famous comedian and his wife to tea. The hostess was confessing that long,

long ago before the young people even thought about doing it, she had tried a little grass. Afterwards the comedian's wife questioned him, "Do you really suppose she smoked pot?" Still trying to get the taste of the tea out of his mouth, he shot back: "Smoke it? I think she drinks it!"

Although not claiming the same powers as seeress Jeane Dixon, Maxine Cheshire was literally brushing her teeth one morning when it hit her: "Jackie is going to marry Onassis!" This was at a time when Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis had been seen together a few times, but not too much had been made of it. Maxine had a difficult time persuading her editors that she was really onto something.

According to Mrs. Cheshire, there is not much that is not printable. But because "Protocall" is a bit more timid than she is, those of you who missed the luncheon will have to ask someone who was there what Maxine Cheshire said about:

... why Jackie did not come to the opening of the Kennedy Center

as originally planned,

... why Martha Mitchell called her for help,

... why no one wants to be known as THE Washington hostess,

... why she wants to reserve the middle table at the November luncheon for herself,

... why her hot tip on a front-page story about Bebe Rebozo cooled off,

... why she thinks the Smithsonian should do something about a certain room at Nancy Dicker-son's home, "Merrywood,"

... why Julie Eisenhower might be the first woman president,

... what it will mean if Teddy ever quits slicking his hair back,

... why Barbara Howar would refuse to be buried if what certain word were chiseled on her tombstone,

... why Joan Kennedy dresses as she does.

The idea of telling all and getting paid for it struck her at the early age of five when she lived in a small but (at that time) rather violent town in Kentucky where her father was a lawyer. On the way home from kindergarten one day, she stopped in at the newspaper office to say that she would like to have a job, that because of her father she knew everything that went on in town, and that if they paid her, she would write it for them.

Those early instincts must have served her well on the road from reporter to number one in gossip. She has been chosen by *Harper's Bazaar* as one of the "100 Women of Achievement."

GEN. RYAN SPEAKS AT OCTOBER COFFEE

General John D. Ryan, Chief of Staff, United States Air Force, was guest speaker at Newcomers Coffee, October 14, 1971. For those that were unable to attend, the context of his talk follows.

"In 1908, Scottish author James M. Barrie wrote: Every man who is high up loves to think that he has done it all himself; and the wife smiles, and lets it go at that. And, in 1929, Virginia Woolf wrote: Women have served all these centuries as looking-glasses possessing the magic . . . power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.

Times have not really changed much and that is why I'm happy to have the opportunity to visit with you and to extend my welcome to the "newcomers." For the new arrivals, I realize that there are various reasons for your being in the Washington area. Some of your husbands are attending the senior service schools; others are assigned to the Pentagon or other special duties in the area. I can assure you that, regardless of the assignment, your being here is the result of a very selective process. You should be pleased that your husband's talents have been recognized. I can also assure you that he will be a very busy man and will need your continued support and understanding. Since approximately three out of four of our 124,000 plus officers are married, the wives and families represent an important segment of our Air Force family. Now for those of you who visualize yourselves as "match-makers"—you can look at the other side of this statistic. There are nearly 30,000 bachelor officers in the Air Force who need your help!

You know—the Air Force realized some time ago that it is not only the husband that we must keep happy, but also his wife and family. We have adopted the motto: "Everyone is our business" and I want you to know that—that means everyone in the Air Force family.

We have made a lot of progress and are continuing with our efforts to improve the quality of Air Force life. It is in this area that the Officers' Wives Clubs make an important contribution. You have my sincere thanks and admiration for the many programs that contribute to the peace and well-being of our Air Force people and for the good-will generated by your many other projects in the civilian community. Since you do represent an important segment of our Air Force, today I would like to present you a thumbnail sketch of the people who make up our Air Force, some of our problems and what we are doing about them.

*First* let me briefly describe the typical Air Force officer and then the typical airman. Because of retirements of WW II and Korean Veterans, the trend toward youth is increasing. The typical Air Force officer is young and well educated. He is a Captain, 30 years old, with seven years service and is a college graduate.

When we look at the total officer force, to me the more significant factors are that 47% of our officers are under 30 and 85% of them have a college degree. Their attitude is not unlike their civilian contemporaries. They are impatient and impetuous—but they are not lacking in dedication.

The typical airman is also young and well educated. He is a Sergeant (E-4), 24 years old with 4 years service and is a high school graduate. As a matter of fact, 90% of them are high school graduates. Our young airmen reflect the youth of today. They are willing to be led—but at the same time—they challenge traditional ideas. Our problem is to recognize individual desires and at the same time retain the military discipline essential to doing our job.

Today's personnel force represents the most experienced and dedicated force developed in our history. Its

character contributes every bit as much to our posture for strategic deterrence as does hardware on alert pads or in missile launch sites.

In Southeast Asia, we have used a large portion of young people. In spite of national attitudes and peer pressure against the war, our people have responded well and done a magnificent job. Since 1968 we have filled half of our SEA officer spaces with volunteers. That doesn't mean that the other half did not want combat duty, it merely means that 50% made the effort to tell us they wanted to go.

In the area of drug abuse, I can see that in the Air Force last year there were more than 4600 individual investigations of drug use; that these cases have been increasing over the past few years; and that if the trend continues, it can seriously affect our mission capability. We have recognized that we do have a problem and we are trying to get a handle on the magnitude of the problem and we are trying to do something about it. I know you have all read something about our treatment center and our testing program. We do have a positive drug control program but it is too new to evaluate the results. Although there is no accurate national average with which to compare, in my opinion, our test rate shows a relatively low incident of abuse so far—less than one per cent of the nearly 50,000 tested in SEA and the States.

The last area I would like to mention this morning is the Volunteer Force. To increase my credibility, I would like to correlate my remarks with the results of a Wives' Attitude Survey conducted by the Air Force. Some of you may have participated in this survey. The Motivation and Retention Division of the Military Personnel Center mailed a booklet entitled "Recipes from Around the

"Once You've Seen Washington . . ."

by Anne M. Hays

Ford's Theater is a name ringing with overtones of history. Have you been there since it was reopened in 1968, to visit the Lincoln Museum during the day or to enjoy a theatrical production in the evening?

The museum is open to the public, free of charge, from 9 to 5, seven days a week. Mementoes of Lincoln's life are displayed chronologically. A recorded, continuous commentary floats down from hidden speakers and describes the contents of the cases as you look and walk. The bulk of the exhibit is the Osborn H. Oldroyd collection, first displayed in Ford's Theater in 1932 after it was purchased by the government in 1926. Books from Lincoln's library, letters, documents, furniture from his Springfield home and the 36-star flag that was draped on Lincoln's coffin are some of the things a visitor can see.

Compare the many reproductions of Lincoln's campaign signs and literature with the political paraphernalia which is beginning to circulate now for the 1972 presidential campaign more than one hundred years later.

Items connected with the assassination of Lincoln are in a special alcove. The one-shot derringer, which John Wilkes Booth used to shoot Lincoln, and Booth's diary are displayed here.

On a raised level are nine, soundproof booths, each about the size of an ordinary telephone booth, which you can enter to hear recordings of famous speeches and other familiar quotations from the great man who was such a prolific story teller.

After visiting the museum downstairs to learn about Lincoln's life, it is dramatic to walk upstairs, sit down in the quiet theater and look at the box where Lincoln and his wife and friends sat watching the play the night of his assassination. It is easy to conjure up on the stage the figure of the famous actress of the day, Laura Keene, happy crowd relaxing from

the pressures of the war, and Lincoln watching intently, too engrossed in the popular comedy "Our American Cousin" to hear the assassin's footsteps behind him.

Imagine also the drama which followed the fatal shot. Booth struggling to free himself from Lincoln's companion. Catching his heel on the bunting as he leaped from the box to the stage. Losing his balance and falling, breaking his leg. Dragging himself to his horse in the alley behind the theater and galloping off into the night.

Ford's Theater—1880

Three doctors from the audience attended Lincoln but could do little for him. Because of the possibility of hemorrhaging they ruled out the possibility of taking Lincoln even the short distance to the White House. Instead they carried Lincoln across the street to the Petersen House, where they had to lay him crosswise on the little bed in the first floor bedroom to accommodate his six-foot-four-inch frame. (The Federal Government has also restored the Petersen House, so do not fail to complete your trip into 1865 by visiting here too.)

The appearance of the entire theater has been reproduced from old photo-

graphs and drawings from the period when Lincoln was president of the United States. The chairs for the audience are reproductions of those Mr. Ford originally supplied for his patrons. The design has thoughtfully been altered slightly to make them bigger—for today's larger people! Each chair is cushioned with a small pillow, and the chairs are quite comfortable. The theater's capacity today is about 700, only about half of the capacity in Lincoln's day, and leg room is ample.

The stage is small and brings the actors out close to the audience on the first floor. This may have advantages for some productions, but in the musical revue "Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope," it had the effect of hiding the small group of musicians and sometimes the actors themselves from my view a few rows back in the first balcony.

Ford's Theater, as it has been restored, is not just another museum. It is a living theater, presenting a varied schedule of events.

Scheduled to follow this season's opener, "Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope" is "Mother Earth" (running only until November 6, so hurry down if this appeals to you), described by executive producer Mrs. Don Hewitt as a survival musical on ecology. Then nostalgia takes over with the presentations of "Bob and Ray, The Two and Only" and "Echoes of the Left Bank."

Not yet scheduled, but anticipated are a stage presentation of "Moby Dick" and the premier of a one-man show called "An Unpleasant Evening With H. L. Mencken."

With such an assortment everyone should find at least one production they'd enjoy, and I find myself wishing the good fairy would send me season tickets. The box office number is 347-6260 and tickets are also available at the Pentagon Ticket Office.

## PROTOCOL SPOTLIGHTS:

### AIR FORCE VILLAGE

With the first year of operation, much has been learned, problems have been solved, and the roster of residents has grown steadily. A welcoming committee was organized to meet new arrivals, help them get settled in the apartments and guide them through the intricacies of the local BX and commissary. Arrangements were made for membership in a local officers' mess and officers' wives' club.

Special gifts from OWCs large and small bought the pews in the chapel, placed art works on the walls and furnished apartments for young widows and guests. A decorating committee of Air Force wives selected furnishings on behalf of the donors with an

eye for bargains. The OWC at a closing base had all the club party silver refurbished to mint condition and shipped it to the Village. Almost all of these items were given as extra donations added to their regular contributions.

The pervading concept of Air Force Village is to provide a secure and comfortable home for widows of Air Force officers and retired officers and their wives. Unlike the Army Distaff Hall and Navy's Vinson Hall, the concern of the Foundation was extended to young widows and their children.

That concern has been expanded to the wives and children of men who are

prisoners of war and of those missing in action. These women and their families, like the young widows, will occupy furnished apartments on a temporary basis (up to a year), during which the resources of the Village are available to them in helping to best arrange their lives.

AFOWC members and their sisters in clubs world-wide can be justly proud of their achievement on this first anniversary of Air Force Village.

"A book, whether wise or silly, when being read, comes alive
and talks to the reader."

Joan Crawford, in MY WAY OF LIFE (Simon & Schuster, $7.50), shares with all women her secrets of living a full life, of remaining beautiful in body and spirit, and of giving of herself.

Warm and gracious, frank and revealing, Joan Crawford discusses her personal philosophy and provides numerous photographs illustrating the less-known aspects of her life. Having been successful in combining her public career with her family life, she speaks especially to the woman over 30, whose maturity is an asset and who is capable of understanding that true success comes from making the most of herself so that she can give the most to others. She shows women how to stay vital and young, how to create an exciting and comfortable home environment, and how to remain personally attractive.

How much happiness have you and your mate experienced in your marriage? Is your marriage a marvelous adventure or a conflict situation? How can you systematically analyze your most intimate relationship, namely marriage, according to the latest applications of the behavioral sciences? In THE MARRIAGE GRID (McGraw-Hill, $6.95), co-authors Dr. Jane S. Mouton and Dr. Robert R. Blake provide a system for answering these questions. Working on a grid basis, they help you rate your marriage on decision-making, convictions, teamwork, expectations, conflict, and intimacy. What emerges is a clear picture of whether you are dominant, whether your spouse is dominant, or whether you share equitably in the responsibilities—and the rich fulfillment—of marriage.

In a new novel, Milovan Djilas, former Yugoslav party and governmental leader who wrote THE NEW CLASS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH STALIN—and was imprisoned for his boldness—tells the story of a people who fight heroically to free themselves from alien rule. In UNDER THE COLORS (Harcourt, Brace Jovanovich, $9.75), Djilas has created an epic historical novel about Montenegro, now part of Yugoslavia, a land which has struggled for liberation from the Turks, interference from the Serbs, and political oppression.

Today, when political dissidents still suffer in East European prisons, this book

is especially relevant and revealing of the psychological and ideological effects of imprisonment and torture on both victim and oppressor. The Radak family, whose fortunes Djilas traces through a period of 500 years, provide a living example of courage in the face of hardship and suffering. Eventually their villages and homes are destroyed, their leaders are killed, their young men fall in battle, and they are driven from their land. Yet their indomitable spirit lives on and the reader feels hopeful and proud that he shares a common humanity with these heroic people.

Another moving document has just been published regarding human suffering and heroism. This one is THE BOOK OF ALFRED KANTOR (McGraw-Hill, $17.95), with a preface by John Wykert. The book is a diary of drawings compiled by a 22-year-old Czech in 1945, immediately following his release from three Nazi concentration camps. The drawings are painful and shocking in their portrayal of the savage suffering and death imposed by the Nazis on concentration camp inmates. The greatest horror of what is pictorially portrayed is not the finality of death but rather the systematic process whereby so many human beings were deprived of their humanity. This fearful process is amply documented in the different water color drawings which appear, with brief captions, on each page. It lends the book its chilling historic impact and its current applicability. The warning is clear: The process is so simple, so easily duplicated, that it can happen again.

Last year's Russian Nobel Prize winner Alexander Solzhenitsyn, author of ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN DENISOVICH, THE FIRST CIRCLE, and THE CANCER WARD, has been conducting a courageous campaign for creative freedom in the USSR. Harper & Row has just published SOLZHENITSYN: A DOCUMENTARY RECORD ($7.95), edited by Leopold Labedz, with a foreword by Harrison E. Salisbury. In this volume, which traces Solzhenitsyn's rehabilitation in 1956, his support by Khrushchev in 1963, and the attacks on him since 1963, the contemporary Soviet literary scene is brought vividly to life. The letters, speeches, and articles in this book provide a fascinating record of the struggle by a unique individual and a great Russian writer to free the imagination and permit literary creativity to exist in the Soviet Union. Expelled from the Soviet Writer's Union in November 1969, it remains to be seen if Solzhenitsyn will be arrested, tried, and sent to an insane asylum, to a labor camp, or into Siberian exile, as other courageous Soviet writers have been during recent years.

Landscaping used to be intended mainly to please other people. Lately, though, the focus of home landscaping has shifted from front to back, from public to private, from show to easy upkeep. Now landscaping is viewed as a livable extension of the house itself, and good landscaping is not limited to what you own. Good landscape planning can include the neighbor's beautiful tree, while screening out his garage.

These are just a few of the concepts published by James Underwood Crockett in LANDSCAPE GARDENING ($6.95) the third volume in the TIME-LIFE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GARDENING. Hundreds of color photographs and watercolors enrich this volume and enhance its value to the homeowner. Most of us seek six goals in our landscaping: privacy, beauty, comfort, convenience, flexibility, and easy maintenance. In helping us achieve these goals, Crockett shows us how to make a landscape plan for the ample suburban home or the tiny city backyard and how to choose plantings, build terraces, set up lights and screens, and allocate space for play and work. Implementation of just one of his ideas will more than compensate for the price of the book.

Frankly Feminine

From
Frankie Swenholt

WHAT TO WEAR AFTER DARK?

Whatever turns you on. Whatever makes you feel pretty. Whatever makes you feel absolutely, positively womanly. It's up to you. Women ARE dressing more for evening. Whether you're going to a restaurant, a club, the theatre, or someone's home, you'll see sensational outfits. Sleek shorts, evening pants, cocktail dresses, and glamorous long gowns go everywhere.

SHORTS can be smashing if you have a great figure; but they aren't appropriate for all occasions. Before wearing shorts, think about WHERE you're going and WHO's going to be there. I've seen some really good looking velvet shorts suits. They have blazer tops or short cropped jackets. Some have knee-length, midi, or full-length capes or coats. Team these with a white satin blouse or a sweater blouse. You'll need matching or coordinated sheer or lace tights to add the finishing touch. I like boots with shorts but you can wear a trim little satin shoe; plain, or laced around the leg, or ankle-strapped.

EVENING PANTS are taking a back seat to dresses this season. But if you have some left from last year, WEAR THEM! You'll still see plenty of pants around. Other women have a closet full of pants, too and they aren't about to throw them out. One lush evening suit is a braid-trimmed black velvet smoking jacket with tuxedo pants, and a turtle neck blouse in ruby satin.

SHORT DRESSES AND LONG DRESSES have a lot in common ... especially femininity. You'll find the same fabrics, colors, trims, and even the same designs used in many. Lengths vary from just-to-the-knee, to just-below-the-knee, to mid-calf, to three or four inches above the ankle, to ankle-length.

FABRICS are sheer wool, soft jersey, lamé, chiffon, taffeta, crepe, satin, lace, and velvet used in every way imaginable (plain, quilted, embroidered, appliqued, jeweled, printed, and pressed to look like Russian broadtail). Some fabrics are dreamy and airy, some look like Persian rugs.

Seductive black is the scene stealer. What can be more sensuous than a simple little black dress. But all colors are good ... in solids or spectacular prints. You'll see lots of red in all shades.

TRIMMING can be anything ... feathers, fur (natural or dyed in bright colors), jewels, lace, metallic braid, felt, vinyl ... all used in exciting ways. For example, a simple dark wool jersey formal gets bands and flowers of brightly colored vinyl. A long black evening coat has a lamb collar and cuffs dyed a brilliant pink. The needlework interest is evident in the fascinating trim used on many clothes. Velvet is quilted in silver or gold or studded with rhinestones. Skirts have borders of colorful yarn woven in to look like embroidery. Floss embroidery touched with glitter trails across many full skirts. Some dresses have huge embroidered scrolls or appliqued borders. A black velvet skirt has multi-colored flowers of wool felt appliques. A deep autumn green wool felt skirt has white felt appliques deftly stitched with gold metal thread. One designer does a whole series of white cotton gabardine skirts with beguiling wool felt appliques of circus figures or animals.

DINNER SUITS, long and short, are back ... with easy comfortable skirts and soft crepe or satin blouses. Jackets often have jeweled buttons or pretty fur trim. You'll see the costume this season, too; little dresses with matching jackets.

Many gowns are completely covered up, with long sleeves and high necklines. Separate skirts are often shown with long sleeved satin blouses or sweater-like tops in wool jersey or metallic mesh. Then there are the bare looks; dresses that have plunging necklines. Some have low necklines, front and back, held up with narrow jeweled straps. Halter necklines leave a bare back.

Many long dresses have slit fronts showing shorts beneath. And good news for those who can't give up the mini. I've seen a few really short swinging cocktail dresses (several inches above the knee). One was in black velvet worn with red tights ... smashing!

They're all there ... whatever turns you on.

## Gen. Ryan Continued

World" which included a mail-back card. Over 10,000 wives responded to this offer to "tell it like it is." This purely voluntary action by the wives was a most encouraging indication of the fact that they appreciated the recognition by the Air Force of their viewpoints. This was the first attempt to contact Air Force wives directly. The survey pinpointed both advantages and problems of Air Force life which we must consider in achieving a true volunteer force. Some of the highlights of the survey were:

- Travel and new experiences were by far the front runners of things favorable, followed by "the people, security, and a way of life."

- Family separation was the predominant dissatisfaction, particularly among wives of rated personnel.

- Housing became a more important consideration for wives of airmen and officers in the 8-20 year category.

- Wives of young airmen (E-1, E-2) identified pay and allowances as the most unfavorable feature. Consequently, BX, commissary, dental and medical benefits were cited as important to our under-seven years service airmen's wives.

- Lastly, approximately half of the young airmen's and officers' wives favored an Air Force career for their husbands.

Now I'll briefly cover some of the things we have done and plan to do in each of these areas. For many, the opportunity to travel is the primary appeal of life in the Air Force. Yet, frequent moving has disruptive and destabilizing effects on families with the most positive of attitudes and gypsy of blood.

There have been a number of recent changes in our policies that should lessen this impact on Air Force families. We now permit airmen serving in overseas areas to voluntarily extend their tour to a total of five years overseas. This not only results in less frequent family disruption but allows airmen to serve longer

in an area of their choice.

We currently have programmed the construction of 1020 units at various bases for temporary lodging. These will provide, on a reservation basis, low cost on-base quarters for personnel arriving or departing an installation in PCS status. We have expanded travel, transportation, and government housing entitlements for our lower ranking airmen.

On or about January 1972, we will implement a new housing regulation with far-reaching changes. It will provide for an advance housing application system; increases in housing size (that is, number of bedrooms) for senior NCO's and field grade officers; a preference option for various types of housing on an installation; a housing declination option without penalty to the applicant; and revision of priorities for assignment to excess housing favoring lower grade airmen. All these should reduce some of the strains moving has on our families.

But, if the Air Force family is affected by frequent moving, it is even more affected by the frequent separations it must endure. I can foresee no change in the fact that separation is one of the realities of Air Force life with which our families must cope. There are more than 90,000 officer and enlisted positions around the world that must be manned by Air Force personnel on an unaccompanied tour. Considering that more of our people are married than are single, that requirement represents the separation of a lot of families each year. The inevitability that at some time during his career, and often more than once, an Air Force member and his family are going to be apart for an extended time does not lessen the impact when it comes.

I believe we can and should do more in this area. I sometimes have the feeling that during the time Air Force people are in some remote part of the world, often directly exposed to

the dangers of combat, many of the families they leave behind somehow slip into a state of limbo while they wait.

This can easily happen when, in preparation to go overseas, a sponsor moves his family away from the vicinity of his former base. Even if the family is near another Air Force base, and uses the BX, commissary, hospital, and other base facilities, they may be somewhat detached from the base community. Unless we make a conscious effort to insure otherwise, during the time when many Air Force families are in greatest need of being a concrete part of the Air Force community, they are the furthest removed.

Many of our efforts are related to improving the financial well-being of our personnel—especially that of our younger airmen and officers. Certainly the recently approved (though not implemented) raises in pay and housing allowances will help. For example, entry basic pay for an E-1 will increase 100%. The bill adds up to $87 a month to the tax-free quarters allowance of officers and enlisted men, bringing the allowance for quarters up to 85% of the Federal Housing Administration's standard for housing expenses, based on a nationwide survey.

The actions we have taken—to ease the burden of moving, to improve housing and the financial well-being of all Air Force members—we hope will substantially help in attracting and retaining the quality of young men and women we need as we move toward our goal of a volunteer force.

This morning I've given you a thumb-nail sketch of our Air Force family, some of our problems and some of the actions we have taken to solve our problems and improve the quality of Air Force life.

In closing, let me again welcome the new arrivals and I hope you thoroughly enjoy your stay in the Washington area. To all, I wish a successful club year."

AIR FORCE VILLAGE FOUNDATION

POW-MIA FAMILIES
ADMITTED TO AF
VILLAGE

One of the most difficult problems our country faces is that of the prisoner of war and men missing in action. The heartache and dilemma of the wives and children of these men have been spectres haunting the mind of every service wife.

Believing that the Village, with its
facilities, could be of service, the
Board of Trustees has voted to include
for eligibility to the Village POW-
MIA wives and children. Those wives
without children would occupy fur-
nished apartments in the high-rise;
those with children would occupy gar-
den apartments, with occupancy up to
a year on a month-to-month basis.

OWCs world-wide have indicated
their interest and concern for the
tragic families of those husbands and
fathers, and the Advisory Committee
applauds, and joins the clubs in the

spirit of "Where there is a need, meet
it."

NEW AFV LOGO

In the natural progression of the
Village from idea to reality, the Ad-
visory Committee has selected a new
logarithm which has been approved
by the Board of Trustees The new
emblem will appear in next month's
newsletter as the Masthead and you
will be seeing it on stationery and
other materials as new supplies are
ordered. We think the logo typifies
the Village in the simplicity of its
design and hope you will be watching
for it.

The Advisory Committee remains
in operation at the Bolling office and
we will receive your questions and
contributions here as usual. Address
us:

Air Force Village Advisory
Committee
OMR Box 381
Bolling AFB, D.C. 20332

THINK CHRISTMAS!

The AFOWC Welfare Committee will sponsor a "Christmas Card Tree" this year at Bolling Officers' Club. For a donation you may add your name to the tree and convey your Holiday Greetings to all for the season. Save your postman and your stamps!! Watch for details!!

FAMILY SERVICES

At the September coffee, a warm welcome was extended to Mrs. Ben Matlick, the new advisor to the Bolling Family Services Program. Colonel Matlick is Commander of Bolling Air Force Base. New volunteers were introduced: Mrs. Mae Hunter and Mrs. June Martin. Mrs. Dorothy Matlick also became a volunteer working in the area of Office Administration.

Lt. Georgia Martin, Personal Affairs Officer, complimented the volunteers on the excellent report of the Inspection Team in August. In the near future extensive renovating will begin at the Center. Monies have already been allocated.

The Advisory Council met in September to make several important guide lines and clarify procedures. Mrs. Merton Jenkins, coordinator, and Mrs. S. Edward Corbin, Sr., assistant coordinator, will serve an additional six months' term. Plans for the Personal Affairs Orientation on 19 October 1971 have been finalized.

Would you like to be a part of the concept "The Air Force takes care of its own"? Everyday, a "thank you" is expressed by words and actions of visitors at the Center. It is good to be needed. You are! Be a Family Services volunteer.

On November 1, 1970, Air Force
Village opened its doors and moving
vans began to arrive with Conex boxes
and packing crates.

## COMMUNITY SERVICES

**Chairman:**
Mrs. Milton E. Mitler
751-0865

With all the big problems in the world today and all the petty little annoyances that creep into our everyday lives... sometimes we forget all the many things we have to be thankful for. What better time could there be for giving thanks than Thanksgiving? And what better way to show it than by giving a little bit of oneself? Make a promise to yourself this month that you'll help a foreign visitor to our country feel a little less lonely and bewildered—you'll find lots of ways to do this at the Meridian House.

Or smile and have a kind word for an irate or upset patient at one of our military hospitals or dispensaries while you're wearing the uniform of the Red Cross and feel the pleasure of hearing her say, "Thank you" as she leaves your clinic or desk.

Answer a simple question that makes the going a little easier for a newcomer in our midst... or an old timer leaving for new territories. Just be on the other side of the 'phone at the Armed Forces Hostess Association office.

Or how about that new family that has just arrived and found their furnishings won't catch up with them for several weeks. The Family Services volunteer accepts their grateful thanks with pride after lending a helping hand.

November is not too late to start—it's a great month to begin. Call me

and let me help find the niche that's waiting just for you and have a real joyous Thanksgiving.

## ACTIVITY OF THE MONTH

**Chairman:**
Mrs. John Bailey
354-4324

**Co-Chairman:**
Mrs. Joseph Greene
971-1429

Please note this change! The November trip to Ford's Theater has been changed to November 15. Ford's Theater will be featured in a television special which is being filmed the week we had planned to visit and the theater will be closed to the public. We have rescheduled, our visit to Monday, November 15. The special, called "Festival at Ford's" will be shown locally that evening.

We will leave from Bolling Officer's Club at 9:45 A.M. and return around 12:15. The cost will be $1.50 and

there is no limit on the number of people who may attend. The deadline for reservations is November 10. We hope that many of you will join us then.

So many people expressed a desire to tour the White House that I will try to arrange another tour for those who missed out first time around.

No activity is planned for December, but look for our January announcement.

## MUSIC COMMITTEE

**Chairman:**
Mrs. G. F. Harrington
780-4927

There has been such an enthusiastic response, by our membership, to our Wednesday night National Symphony Concert Series, that I am really pleased and somewhat overwhelmed. Perhaps it may turn out that we all get tickets to only one concert in the AFOWC Box 23—but, even one concert in the AFOWC box is certainly better than none.

Hopefully, those who are interested in attending more concerts than we can through our AFOWC will be able to get to the Kennedy Center box-office to get tickets to individual concerts.

## Ad Libs Continued

By the way, how do you like the *Bolling Club* calendar in our PROTOCALL? Doesn't it look good, and isn't it handy?

Went down to visit Mrs. Kasten at *Military Personnel Buying Service* and she is charming. They have been great supporters of our magazine. They are now carrying fine lines of upholstered furniture and also beautiful rattan. There is a lovely display of both in the window. Go visit her— and remember, PROTOCALL is the

password.

Abbington Design Associates, Inc., is with us again this month. Bumped into a friend (of all places, at the Andrews hospital) who had visited Mrs. Salzman, and ended up buying some beautiful furniture upon the excellent advice of Mrs. Salzman, who loves military people, and will spend a great deal of time with them and their decoration problems.

Wasn't the *Charnita, Inc.* ad a charmer? Doesn't it make you want to get way from it all, relax, ski (if

you can), and get out in the open— snow or not? Sounds like the perfect place for that winter holiday. It offers just about everything one could possibly desire.

Don't forget, you can't go wrong at any of our lovely dress shops, *Lady Hamilton, Nancy Fleming, and Endearing One*, a wonderful new addition. Now we have another shop in Fairfax, *The Clothes Horse*, under new management; a husband and wife team, Jane and Bob Bartlett. They have excellent taste, carry beautiful clothes from the moderately priced to $200 ensembles by Ted Brown. I saw lots of Kimberlys, Jerry Silvermans, Fred Perlbergs, Jack Bryans, Carlyes, Gavis, and many more. All are exquisite, all the kind you are just yearning for. Tell them you "saw their ad in PROTOCALL" when you visit them, or *any* of our advertisers! Please?!

*Ferris and Company* has been with us for many years. Gail Winslow of the company gives a seminar on investments each year and advises our investment clubs. So many times we just don't realize how much these advertisers of ours contribute to our club.

If we see you looking particularly lovely with a new hairdo at the fashion show, we'll just know you've visited *Alleyne's Beauty Service!* Also, have you tried *The John Bull Restaurant* yet? You will find it everything I promised, and perhaps more!

*Cinderella Dry Cleaners*, another new account, does superb cleaning and laundry. I won't take our clothes any other place. The one time I tried a quickie for Jack's shirts when he had an unexpected trip, his shirts looked as though someone had slept in them, and he told me *never* to take them anywhere but *Cinderella*. Sweaters come back the same size, and fresh as a daisy. You can be sure your good clothing is in safe hands,—they really care about your clothes. They are

expressed perfectly, spotted so that no spots come back to you, and have a fresh, new look. No dirty cleaning fluid used at *Cinderella*. They do a beautiful job on drapes, too, for a very reasonable price.

*Poodle Townehouse* is with us this month on a trial basis. They are offering their services for your dog at a $2.00 discount *if* you bring *our ad!* My friend who takes her pets there tells me they do a beautiful job on all breeds, and offer broadening service, too! Next time you want a dog-free vacation, try them. Tell them about PROTOCALL.

While shopping for your husband (do you get stuck with all those long, tedious errands like I do?) for new tires for the car, see *Universal Tire*, our new advertiser, for a very *good* deal on fine tires, snow or regular. He has several convenient locations. Tell him you are there because of his PROTOCALL ad.

Do you notice where Leon Tyler,

O. D., puts his ad? I think that's pretty clever. His theory is,--if you have a difficult time reading AT THE BOOK STALLS column, it's time to pay him a visit. He is perfectly delightful to do business with, and has been with us for quite some time.

A gentle reminder with that velvet hammer of mine,—whenever you visit any of these places, and all our others, TELL THEM YOU READ THEIR AD IN *PROTOCALL!* 'Bye for now!

## CONVERSATIONS

With Phyllis Meyen

### WOMEN'S LIB AT FIFTY

I swear, I don't know whether I was born a generation too early or a generation too late.

When I was young, bosoms and bottoms were out, every woman pretended she was built like a boy, clothes were loosely fitted and there wasn't many underwear problems.

Nowadays, bosoms and bottoms are definitely in—or should I say they are all hanging out? In our bosom-oriented society, I'm a victim of culture shock. All the clothes cling and on me they shouldn't. I was trying on some things at Woodies' last week, and I swear I looked like five large potatoes in a too-small bag. There was a line on TV the other night—knickers are hot pants for ladies who have cooled off.

And another thing, every woman is now expected to go out and do her

thing, whatever her thing is. I keep wondering who is raising the kids.

One of our things we are expected to do is recognize our sensual natures and go out and do something about it. Well, Ruthie and I were talking about that book that started all this stuff—you know, the one written anonymously, only when she went around plugging her book she suddenly wasn't so anonymous. And Ruthie said, "Where are you going to meet all theseṇḍers, anyway? The crowd we know, all the men are so pooped by the time they leave the Pentagon, they have no energy left for snaking. Anyway, with my luck, I'd just end up with another loser. Besides, I'm not so sure it's worth the effort, keeping your hair looking per-

fect, wearing a girdle all the time and all that." I'm with her there, I'll tell you.

I'll tell you one thing though, this female anarchy is making the men nervous. Kinda nice for a change, if you ask me.

The other day I came in from the library with a new load of books and the old boy comes over to look over the titles to see if there's anything he'd like to read. (He's too lazy to go those few blocks to choose his own reading.) I had Greer's book and Hobbs' among them and he said, "Some of these books you've been bringing home—are you sure you can handle this stuff?" My instant but, for once, unspoken thought was, "I can, but can you?"

THE THEATRE ARTS COMPANY

c/o The Federal City College, Department of Communicative Arts
916 G. Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001 Tel: (202)727-2168

September 1, 1972

Dear Patron,

If our name and letterhead are unfamiliar to you, it's because we are so new;
in fact, we are less than two months old. But despite the fact that we are so
young, we have very definite ideas about what we are and what we are about. Per-
mit us to introduce ourselves.

The Theatre Arts Company is a newly formed affiliate of The Federal City
College's "Arts Out Loud" program. Although the company is in its infancy, its
members are by no means novices to the theatre. Several of us are faculty mem-
bers of The Federal City College and Howard University theatre departments and
represent some fifty years' experience in professional and educational-community
theatre. Our numbers also include a complement of graduate and undergraduate
students of The Federal City College, Howard University and the Washington Tech-
nical Institute.

Our goals? They are many; some of them long-reaching, some of them more
immediate but all of them, in our opinion, of vital importance. It is imperative
to us that the community becomes cognizant of theatre as an art form and recog-
nize how art is a necessity in both reflecting the Black Experience and enrich-
ing our everyday lives. We feel we can accomplish this by demonstrating the uses
of theatrical techniques as socio-economic tools in dealing with community/edu-
cational problems.

We are also striving to achieve a level of professionalism in the develop-
ment and presentation of the Black Experience. We wish to serve as a showcase
both for new works by Black playwrights and poets, and for talented and dedicated
theatre artisans.

Our methods for accomplishing the above will be twofold. Through public
performances we hope to develop a repertory and a theatre circuit within the
public school system, local colleges and the community. We also intend to set
up practical workshops in area schools and community centers to both train young
people in theatre techniques and to seek out new material for public performance.
In doing so we hope to extend the scope of the theatre curriculum at The Federal
City College by providing a practical base of professional operation.

We are indeed fortunate in that our affiliation with F.C.C.'s Department of
Communicative Arts supplies us with some very necessary physical resources which
include the Theatre Department's one-hundred seat environmental theatre, costume
shop, scene shop dressing rooms and rehearsal space. The College, however, can
afford to do no more; The Theatre Arts Company has not and will not receive funds

from the college. In fact, one of our long-range goals is to be able to subsidize the Department of Communicative Arts with equipment, materials and personnel of our own.

But for the time being, The Theatre Arts Company is _totally_ without operating capital. Up to this point, the members of the Company have "made do" with whatever they could beg or borrow from among ourselves and friends. But we can exist no longer on this basis. If we are to grow, if we are to attain _any_ of the goals we have set, we will need help from you and people like you who have demonstrated your appreciation of what the arts can do for the world, the difference it can and _must_ make in our lives. Your donation now can make the difference in not just our effectiveness to the community, but much more basic than that, your donation can make the difference in the life or death of our company. We simply can not continue without outside support.

If you feel that our goals are worthy ones, if you agree with us that the arts and theatre should become a part of everyone's lives, please help us by mailing your donation to The Theatre Arts Company, The Federal City College Department of Communicative Arts, 916 G. Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. Attention: Robert Edward West, Director.

Your support will be greatly appreciated.
