many times living to elude other

The AmbaMutdor and the Baby
Not long ago, in an American
courtroom a young woman filed a
imtcrnity suit against the ambus,
sodar of a foreign power. She
said that she was expecting a ba-
by, that the ambassador was tlx'
baby's father, and that he ought
to start [laying some bills.
But the court refused to hear
the woman's complaint. The judge
pointed out tivat any proceedings
against the ambassador would
violate his right to diplomatic im-
munity.
Iioos a foreign ambassador live
a charmed life in this eountry,
srde from punishment by our
inurts? Could he even commit
murder and get away with it?
Does diplomatic immunity allow
diplomatic impunity?
Gen*’rally shaking, that is in-
diixi the situation. He is not sub-
ji *ct to the jurisdiction of cither
our criminal or our civil courts.
In fact, the immunity of an ant
b.issnlor i< so liroad that it also
covers his family, his aides, and
— to some degree — even his do-
mestic help.
The reason is both simple and
powerful:
We keep hands off the am-
bassadors of other countries so
they will keep hands off ours.
That way. Iiotii sides benefit. For
the work of an ambassador may
lx* seriously hampered if he (or
those close to himi could lx’ har-
assel by charges and claims that
might or might not be justified.
An experience has shown that
by ami large, despite their ini-
inanity, diplomatic personnel
don't just run wild. As a practical
matter, there are powerful re-
straints tending to keep them in
!ine. - * |#'L#

went j pounds or better and the
Itinker of the exjiedition was 7

made all up rind down the coast.

For one thing, an ambassador's
home office is not likely to look
with favor on any mischief-mak-
ing. An envoy who. for instance,
won't f>ay his grocery bills uncer-
tainly not winning friends for the
country he represents.
For another thing, our State
Department may take the initia
live by bulging a complaint witli
his government. If that dix*s not
help, we may also declare him
"persona non grala” and ship him
back home.
Furthemore, as a man of sta-
ture, an ambassador may feel
a strong sense of personal respon-
sibility, He may, for example,
take out liability insurance to
I compensate possible victims of
liis i>ad driving.
In any event, the basic concept
of diplomatic immunity has prov-
en so useful that it is surely here
to stay, y is recognized by every
louolry on earth. And its roots
go back to the very dawn of his-
tory.

A huge, domed, all-weather sports stadium, larger than the
Houston Astrodome, is on the drawing boards. It would be by
far the largest clear-span wood structure ever built. Designed to
keep fans out of wind and rain, it also shelters their cars.
It's 840 feet across, 198 feet
wider than the Houston Astros’
indoor stadium, until now
hailed as the ‘'Eighth Wonder
of the World.” Ceiling would
soar 250 feet from floor — 48
feet higher than the Astrodome,
which would lit inside the new
stadium.
Standard wood products, in-
cluding laminated rib frame-
work and plywood walls, would
make this super-stadium dome
far less costly to build Ilian any
other form of construction, says
William It. Reed. Reed’s Ta-
coma, Wash., architectural
firm, Harris & Reed, designed
the structure for Weyerhaeuser
Company. Incidentally, the all-
wood dome meets the 1-hour
fire rating, the most stringent
fire code in the nation.
Four level parking area, three
under cover, lets sports fans
drive to same level as their seat-
ing section, park and walk short
distance to seats.
Members of the press would
walk through hollow-arch
framework to press box hung
from center of ceiling. Main-
tenance crews would use the
same passageways to replace
lighting and maintain ventilat-
ing equipment, also concealed
in the wooden ribs. The result
is a clean, uncluttered ceiling
with no need for scaiToIding for
maintenance crews.
Actual playing field and most
of the seats would be below

a much more interesting column
of our old SAAP buddies.

Am very glad to learn tliat Mr.
Angier has in his possession, the
book, "A History ol the Texas

ton 1 always kept a borrowed one
from the Houston Library on my
desk. Have quite a few notes ta-

mised me a copy, but he moved

years ago when Juliette Gordon
lz»w founded Girl Scouts of the
USA —with a troop of 12.
As Girl Scouts throughout the
count ry celebrate their 55th an-
niversary this week, there may
lx* a temptation to lixik at the
past with a tolerant smile.
But if anyone in those days had
known the word, the Girl Scouts
of 1912 would have been calltxl a
pretty "swinging" group. They
went on camping trips and hikes,
learned how to handle tools and
tie knots, how to ride a horse
or a bicycle, how to swim and
play basketball — activities not
generally included in the upbring-
ing of young ladies of their time.
Of course, the early Girl Socuts
liarnid to perform the traditional
domestic duties too. A girl was
required to know how to "cook
one simple dish, suelt as a potato
or a quarter of a pound of meat.”
Girl Scouting has come a long
way since then. This year, follow-
ing up a national conference last
a Girl Scout was the “in” thing
to do. In a few short years, the
original membership of 12 ’ had
grown to 12,000. Fifty-five years
and a whole* new world later, Girl
Scouts are still going strong —
more than three million strong.
