Kalinski had been a member of the
Polish exile army based in London
after the fall of Poland in the 1939 Nazi
blitzkrieg. He was sent on a liaison
mission to Moscow where he met and
married a Russian woman.
Told that his wife could not leave the

hoping the diplomat would pass the
information along to Ambassador
Averell Harriman.
At the American’s urging, Kalinski
put his charges Tn writing. Three days
later, the dreaded knock of the secret
police sounded on his door, and he was
hauled off to Lubianka prison.
Still trusting his American friend,
Kalinski managed to slip a note to his
wife during a Prison visit, for delivery
to the embassy official. His wife was
arrested shortly thereafter. (She later
committed suicide in prison.)
During his interrogations, Kalinski
said, the police used details from his
conversations with the American,
from the report he had given him and
from the note he gave to his wife.
“The only way they could have gotten
that information was from my
American friend.” Kalinski said.

WASHINGTON-The number 1305-

Abraham Kalinski. It was the only

"Gulag Archipelago.”

been. We all had that warm feeling

common experience. I was telling
everyone how I had watched the game
on a large super screen which my
friend Stevens had bought just for the
occasion. Next to being at the game
itself, this gave me quite a bit of clout.
I noticed that the only one who
wasn’t enjoying the scene was Apple.
With good humor I said, “Where did
you see the Super Bowl, Apple?”
"I didn’t," he replied.

leaves the bureaucracy in control
of the government.
If this country’s elected of-
ficials are not in control of the
government, then it must follow
that the people are not in control.
That situation, Bell says, "has a
good deal to do with the scourge of
inflation. It has much to do with
the present flood of stultifying
federal regulations and it has
much to do with citizen
frustration caused by a seeming
inability to govern ourselves.”
A barrage of protests from arm-
chair quarterbacks has become a
weekly event. One referee has been
jolted by a whiskey bottle, another
attacked by an outraged
ballplayer. Several times being too
close to a play has caused them to
become unwilling participants of
the play. But why have they been
attacked, and why at times too
close? Simply because they are
doing everything humanly possible
to make the right decision, in-
stantly at that. The quality of of-
ficials is no different today than it
was 20 years ago, technology is.
This thankless task can be .ac-
complished no better by any. of
modern society’s “sophisticated”
sports fans.
Whether a seventh official in the
announcer’s booth should be added
or not remains in the air, and the
question will probably be ad-
dressed in the near future. When
debating this issue, though, we
should remember to look at our-
selves. We should also remember
" that the integrity of professional
officials goes unquestioned. Before
we publicly or privately attack an
official or an official decision, we
should ask ourselves if our own
integrity is held in equally high
esteem.
Without the thought of running
for an additional term, obviously,
the president could take
measures to control the country’s
problems without regard to
whether or not the measures
would be politically sound.
Now, for instance, each time
President Carter offers a plan for
controlling government spending,
analysts immediately begin to
measure the worth of the decision
against the ramifications that will
be felt from the various interest
groups that collectively form an
important political force.
Little time, it seems, is actually
spent on Judging the presidential
decisions on their merits alone.

At first glance, it sounds too good to
be true. On ciuser inspection, you find
out it* is.
In explaining why Avon Products
Inc. sponsors a woman’s tennis cir-
cuit, the press guide glowingly refers
to the company’s beliefs that "sports,
health and beauty all go naturally
together” and in “opportunity for
women."
The guide goes on to state that of
Avon’s almost 1 million sales
representatives, most are women;
that most of the company’s customers
are women; that 70 percent of Avon’s
management and professional staff
are women.

Calling the present system of
four-year terms for the
presidency “a prescription for
societal suicide," Attorney
General Griffin B. Bell proposed
a constitutional amendment
Thursday to provide one six-year
presidential term as a first step
toward controlling the
burgeoning bureaucracy.
Former Texas governor John
Connally made the same
suggestion last week when he
announced his intention to run for
White House residency.
There have been others who,
throughout the years, have
pointed in the same direction.
Never a response.
But now, with the nation suf-
fering under the burden of a
runaway economy, diminishing
world clout and a bureaucracy
mired in its own inefficiency, the
time may have come for serious
consideration.
In a speech prepared for
delivery at the University of
Kansas, Bell explained that one of
the advantages of the single-term
presidency would be the op-
portunity for the president to
devote “100 percent of his or her
attention to the office. No time
would be spent in seeking re-
election.”
