London Has Biggest
Summit Conference
It is strange indeed that the largest
summit conference in history should take,
place almost unnoticed. Yet this is the
case, at least in the United States, with the
gathering in London of the leaders of 28
nations..
They represent the member states of'
the British Commonwealth of Nations,
and the fact that a Commonwealth Prime
.....Ministers". Conference should receive so
little outside attention is an indication of
how profoundly and rapidly the power
relationship of our shrinking world have
changed:
‘The tumult and the shouting dies; the
Captains, and the Kings depart," wrote
K ml yard Kipling for Queen Victoria’s
Diamond Jubilee. In striking such a
somber note at the high noon of empire,
the poet was perhaps more prophetic than
^ven he dreamed.
A world without Britain as a paramount
power .seemed then unthinkable for
generations to come. Her dominions
covered a quarter of the world’s territory
and peofles. British ships ruled the waves
and the Pax Britannica was a fact of
international life upon which other..,
.natjons, including the United States, relied
for maintenance of order.
Yet in Bttle more than half a century -
brief as empires go; the decline and fall of
Rome took the better part of four
centuries - it has all vanished. It is to the
great credit of the British that when they
recognized that the sun was at last setting
on the day of empires, they moved to
divest themselves of theirs with order and
justice, hoping, however, that the
commonwealth of independent nations
that replaced it would remain a cohesive
force in world affairs. Even that has not
worked out exactly as planned.
The leaders gathered in London still
represent a quarter of the world’s people,
but they are a far different breed from the
captains and kings of Victoria’s day. They
are not there to pay homage but as leaders
of independent and in some cases
antagonistic nations. .
Yet-they are thereraitd^lfTs not for"
sentimental reasons. There are shared
interests in political and economic
problems, and beyond that there is a
common denominator that makes such a
gathering possible at all.
11 Is. what Britain, left behind wherever
she ruled. Not the statues of bygone
viceroys in once-subject cities, but the
very best of herself-the concept of free
men in a free society governed by law.
The legacy survives, strongly or in
diluted form,, m.such .disparate lands as
Canada and the Indian Ocean island of
Mauritius. And in the United States.
It is no longer Rule Britannia. But for
centuries yet to come, for the vision and
example of a better society she has given
all mankind,, it will* surely be Hail
Britannia.

Ribbons
By AL MELINGER
Somewhere back in the pre-
Cambrian I learned to type
without looking at the typewriter
keys. My instructor was a Min
Stapf, an angular spinster with a
pendulous equine upper Up and a
sultry mop of man-cropped red
hair.
Unfortunately, my seat mate
was a laughing fellow named
Kurtz whose drolleries preoc-
cupied me far more than did the
proeaic utterance of Min Stapf
One result of this is that,
although I learned to type letters
without looking, I didn’t learn to
type numerals by touch. "".’.‘.T
Now, decades of time and
acres of copy paper later, I still
have to look at the numerals
when typing figures. This was a
fhsUncL.ifritalj'Oe- during the
years 1 was a New Deal [men
agent. My releases were filled
with statistical data and
fascinating financial facts. Nary
a digit could I type without
looking at the keyboard.1
This is a severe handicap for a
government publicist. Nothing
assuages a taxpayer more than
reading how many of his dollars
are being spent in his own
congressional district.
But 1 suffered an even more
severe deprivation because of
my dalliance with the goof-off
Kurtz. I never learned how to
change a typewriter ribbon. Oh,
I can change them all right.
Changed them in city rooms, in
GI barracks, in business offices,
in motel rooms. But when I put in
a typewriter ribbon, it thereafter
refuses to reverse.
In my typewriter a new ribbon
moves briskly along, dropping
us crisp black letters in a
pleasant row. Then, "all of a
sudden, we reach row’s end. The
ribbon freezes. Perennially
optimistic, I hack away,
momentarily expecting the
reversal which never comes.

it is almost akin to the pre-
World War n Japanese belief
that “to die for the Emperor
is to live forever.”
,, The Moslem religion is based
on a belief that, at a certain
moment of crisis, Allah will
take over and preserve Islam
and Moslems.
During visits to Cairo 1 have
experienced this philosophy
which permeates the everyday
life of the Moslem. Riding with
an Arab taxi driver, stalled in
heavy traffic, I have seen him
throw up his hands and say,
"In-shah-lah.” That translates
“If God is willing” or, more
precisely perhaps, “Let Allah
now take over.”
Tfcia combination of fatalism
and martyrdom governs most ail
Arab behavior.
* Wiren we try to interpret Arab
utterimees literally, we are like-
ly tobe 180 degrees mistaken.
In his swan song as secre-
tary of state, Dean Rusk indi-
cated tiutt there is lack of un-
derstanding of the Arabs even
among the top echelon of our
government. He talked of that
area being “on the brink of a
catastrophe.”
I am not saying that a re-
newal of large-scale hostilities in
the Middle East is impossible.
It is presently highly unlikely.
Partly because Israel does com-
prehend the Arab martyrdom
complex and has been retaliating
for border raids, not by killing
people but by destroying Arab
planes 13 at a time. That Is
hitting where it hurts. Such
acts, however unpopular in this
era of pulled-punches ware, are
a potent deterrent to hit-and-run
Arab raids.
In Cairo, the semiofficial pub-
lication El Ahram (its editor
is a close, personal friend of
Nasser) says, “Time has run
out for any peaceful settlement. ’
There will be another ftiU-scale
war this year.” ; i
There won’t be. ^ j

Georgia, new elder statesman of
the Senate.
It was a stern face which gives
Russell the appearance at being
tougher than he is. Actually he’s
a compassionate human being,
who has been known to go out of
his way to help a small dog get
through the revolving door of the
Senate Office Building.
Russell was elected to the'
Senate in the same year
Franklin Roosevelt was elected
President, 1932, and took office
in January, two months ahead of
Roosevelt. He is 71, and has
served in the Senate 36 years as
of tomorrow (Jan. 12).
: Sen. Russell was born in Win-
der, Ga., population 5,555 add he
has lived there all his life. In his
domestic outlook he is a rural-
minded, small-town Senator.
When it comes to world affairs
he is a far-sighted statesman. He
makes few speeches, works from
within.
Last week Sen. Russell made a
statement which surprised many
diplomats — that the United
States should resume diplomatic ~
relations with Reef China. When
two nations talk together, he
said, they don’t make war.
Looking through the back fifes
of the Washington Merry^Gp-
Round, this statement is not so
surprising. Russell has been
consistently opposed to the war
in Vietnam, and in November,
1964, shortly after Lyndon
Johnson scored one Of the
greatest political victories in
history, Russell was invited to
the LBJ Ranch where he gave

off the North Korean coast
because of the risk. This has
restricted U.S. ability to monitor
one of the principft|:Sovfet sub;
marine and shipping corridors in
the Far East.
Despite all the precautions,
however, insiders admit that the
United States probably couldn’t
stop a hostile power from seizing
another spy ship. In the last
analysis, the commander would
have to take Sen. Russell's ad-
vice and scuttle the'ship,

where they are.
Back in April of 1954 when Vice
President Richard Nixon told the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors the United States would
land troops in what was then
French Indo-China, Russell
played an important part in th-
warting such a move. When John
Foster Dulles and Admiral
Arthur Radford, chairman ofthe
Joint Chiefs of Staff, unfolded
before a closed-door meeting
plans to send American troops
into the French Indo-Chinese
jungles, Sen. Russell observed:
"That means war.”
Secretary Dulles denied this,
claimed the United States would
only send a poliee force.
"When you commit the flag,"
said Russell, "you commit the
country. And that is war."
Sen. Earle Clements of Ken-
tucky asked Radford whether
the other Joint Chiefs agreed
with him about sending troops
into the jungles. ~
"No,” confessed the admiral.
"I am the only one who favors
•this, But I am the only one
fainiliar with Southeast Asia.”
It was this searching cross -
examination by Democratic
Senators, plus editorial reaction
to - Nixon's statement, which
caused the Eisenhower adminis-
tration to back away from mili-i
tary intervention. '» :■
NOTE — Later the same year,
however, Eisenhower did send a
thousand troops into South
Vietnam, and this force has now
mushroomed into 545,000 men
under Presidents Kennedy and
Johnson. r

Here is one of the silliest
hands of 1968. The game was
a match point team and at
the first table North and
South were playing a con-
vention in which the double
j»f_aj«eak two Md showed a
no-trump type hand with
a guaranteed stopper in the
suit doubled. West opened a >
weak two spades. North
doubled and South jumped
to three no-trump.
North locked at his 2) high
card points including three
aces. He could have doubled
with a lot less and North de-
cided that his cards war-
ranted a jump to five no-
trump.
Needless to say, South
passed. West opened a low
heart and South ran off 10
tPicks but there was no
chance to gather an 11th.
North was very critical
and all South could do wai
to apologue and-hope that- - ■
his bad bid (two no-trump
would have been plenty if he
did want to play no-trump)
had not cost too much.
Strangely enough, Strath
finished up like the man who
fell in the lake and swam out
with a trout in his mouth.
At the pther table Weft
bid and North made the
same double, but they were
playing the double for take-
out. South responded three
diamonds. North went to
three no-trump and East
was on lead. ,,
Had East just opened the
queen of spades North would'
have made at least 10 tricks,
but East did not have much
confidence in his partner's
two-spade opening.
He pulled out the queen of >
spades, pushed it back,-
hemmed and hawed awhile
and finally placed the eight
of clubs on the table. West
clattered up with his ace
and returned the suit, where-
upon’ three no-trump wound
up down two tricks. '

THE COMMANDER*of tfte USS
Pueblo would also have been
better off if he had followed the
recent stern advice of Sen.
Russell and scuttled his spy ship.
The repatriated Pueblo crew-
men have now- confirmed that
they were unable to destroy all
the super-secret electronic gear
on board their ship. 'Only a few
sensitive instruments, tapes and
papers were destroyed. The rest
was turned over to Russia by the
North Koreans for careful
analysis.

instruments that the United
States uses to track Soviet <:
submarines. With this equip-

considered far more sophisticat-

disaster than the public is likely
to be told. To prevent such from
