Show Flexible Psychiatric Aides Praised WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1964 Editor Herald: I was given the privilege recently, of having being invited oday’s Editorials to attend the dinner which was Bard’s Monument: Words! now that April’s there,’ but the words might well be echoed by the whining schoolboy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like a snail unwillingly to school” to struggle, as countless shade of William Shakespeare— others especially this April marking the 400th anniversary of his birth. Shakespeare. As every schoolboy knows, English literature means Shakespeare. It is often overlooked, though, as writer John Greenway has pointed out, that the England of Elizabeth I, with a population half the size of metropolitan New York, most of it illiterate, produced half a dozen playwrights of the same class as Shakespeare. But this is Shakespeare’s year, and it may surprise many to learn he was not always held in such esteem. The prudish 19th century did not think him quite nice. One Thomas Bowdler added a word to the language—bowdlerize —by preparing sterile, expurgated versions of Shakespeare fit for proper young gentlemen and ladies. In colleges, he was studied, if at all, under the subject of philology, where his grammar and syntax were analyzed to death. It was not until the latter part What would the Bard think of the much ado being made over him, not only in England but around the world, as schools and colleges and dramatic groups perform his plays in greater pro- fusion than ever before? “Oh, wonderful,” he might say, “wondefful, and most wonderful wonderful! and yet again wonder- ful, and after that out of all whooping.” No doubt he would be impressed to hear his words bounced trippingly off a circling satellite— though it was his Puck who said, “Tl put a girdle round the earth in forty minutes.” No doubt it would amaze him to learn that in the barbarious wilderness of America a magic box will carry the voice and face of the eminent Dr. Frank Baxter in 26 half-hour broadcasts devoted to him, and that one electronic performanceof a play will reach millions more than all the ground- lings who ever cheered a Hal or hissed an Iago at ye Globe Theatre. He would be no less astonished at the many volumes written by ggnerations of pundits to prove he did not write his plays at all. One suspects, however, that Will’s sympathies would be with “the ~ have before him, over We like to think that Shakespeare would be pleased to learn that we of the 20th century are perhaps spiritually closer to him than even his contemporaries were and that to us, as it was to him, “the play’s the thing.” Holmes Alexander C-Day Concessions Spelled '», Out In Committee Testimony SE WASHINGTON, D. C.—With all that ink they use in the Treasury Dement, maybe Secretary Douglas Dillon is the right man to find room on the calendar for a red-letter date called C-Day—signifying the end of the Cold War. This impudent thought recently occurred to one observer while listening to the Secretary, a switch-hitting Re publican within our Democratic Administration. Dillon was giving the Senate Foreign Relations Committee a_buildup on what looks like an Aid-the-Reds trade policy. To his credit, he appeared to be less enthusiastic over his message than obedient to his Democratic masters. But the boiled-down meaning of what Dillon said came to this: The Cold Waris over, not because we’ve won it, but because C-Day also stands for Concession Day. With the Test Ban Treaty, the Wheat Deal, the acceptance of Red Cuba as an offshore Soviet base, and with expectations of further Russo-American disarmament, this country has clearly ditched our own plans for a libertyoriented world and has accepted Khrushchev’s scheme called “peaceful coexistence.” Dillon’s testimony spelled out a pair of C-Day Concessions. We have conceded to Soviet Russia a change of heart which now puts social welfare above world conquest. The Russian purchase of Canadian and American wheat ($500 million from Canada; $135 million from us) meant to Dillon, he said, that the Soviet leader- ship had decided to invest its gold reserves in consumer comfort instead of armaments. Senator Symington of the committee entered the opinion that food stocks are strategic goods. He cited Old Barney Baruch’s dictum that everything ‘‘except bubble gum” is useful to a militant nation for building or sustaining its war machine. The Secretary, unshaken by the Senator’s observation, went on explaining our C-Day trade policy. We ag Allen-ScottReport seem to have taken Khrushchev’s definition of what’s strategic—and this is a very large concession indeed. It paves the way to selling the Soviet Bloc almost everything except munitions. The second set of concessions is a further stretching of trade definitions. The American idea of strategic goods, said Dillon, has long been “everything that strengthens the Bloc.” But our NATO partners’ definition of strategic is ‘anything of military value.” Our new Aid-the-Reds trade policy simply abandons our definition and accepts the European definition. Dillon is the fourth Cabinet officer who has recently come before the Foreign Relations Committee to explain this turnabout in Administration thinking. The signs are that we shall soon be competing with Europe and Japan for the vast market of the Soviet empire. Not that there are no difficulties to this sweeping reversal. Symington, up for reelection in a state that is losing many jobs to Canada, was troubled over the illogic of it all. Would westill be taking $50 million a year from American business profits to defend world freedom—while trading with the enemies of freedom? Dillon didn’t quite field that question either. He did ‘better when he began recalling his service in the Eisenhower Cabinet on matters of doing business with the Russians. Once, he said, they came asking for long-term, low-interest credit terms while simultaneously refusing to settle a $2 billion Lend Lease debt on a markdown at $800 million. They wanted the settlement cut to $300 million, and went away mad when the deal was refused. Foreign trade on mark-down terms soon becomes foreign aid. There is only one Russian commodity—gold—of any real use to the USA. Maybe we'll get lucky and trade for hard gold. But that'll take more toughness than .our C-Day celébrants have ever showed. (Distributed by McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) Y Mr. Allen By ROBERT S. ALLEN and PAUL SCOTT WASHINGTON — vivid account of the crafty ingenuity of Communist propaganda infiltration of Brazilian rural areas is contained in a report to intelligence authorities by Valentin Suazo, young education specialist working for the AFL-CIO in that Latin American country. Suazo went to a village in a remote area to organize the farm workers against Red agents and found thelocalleader listening to a small transistor radio. His ususpicions aroused, Suazo examined the radio and discovered that a tin plate had been imposed on the dial so it could not be moved. As a result, the only broadcast that could be obtained over this radio came from Communist-ruled Havana. Further inquiry by Suazo disclosed that the radio had been given the village by a Communist agent, who warned the local leader not to permit anyone to tamper with it or new batteries would not be provided. The young laborite’s report is forcefully confirmed by a Brazilian memorandum recounting in detail the far-flung plot by ousted President Goulart andhis leftist cohorts to abolish the Brazilian constitution and set up a Castro-type pro Communist regime. The report has been submitted to leaders of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees. Prepared by partisans of General Humberto Branco, Army Chief of Staff who led the revolt and is strongly favored as the next President, the document charges that Goulart was bent on suppressing press freedom and “planting seeds of class hate.” “On March 13,”’ the memo de- ist labor leaders were flown in from all over the country. The scene was set for a Peron- brother-inlaw, spoke, his Brizola, and his announcement that the government planned to create a monopoly of the distribution of newsprint. Radio and television were put under federal control, and Goulart ordered that he be given prime radio time, at any time, throughout the nation. “On March 25, from 10:30 to 12:00 was a good example of Goulart’s power. A democratic, anti-Goulart group announced a program starting at 10:30 called ‘Definition of Legality.’ The idea was to have a group of strong, pro-constitution speakers, such as Herbert Levy and Laudo Nattel, i The revolt against Goulart came in the nick of time, as- To Destroy Bay Duck Marsh Dr. Brandstadt Worry, Anger Worsen; Stomach Ulcers, Upsets life.

Shortly before the meeting, Goulart signed a decree on widespread land expropriation and also a Cuban-type rent control law. “The tone of the whole meeting was an open declaration of waragainst the constitution and a march toward a Communist state. The speakers who preceded Goulart were obviously planting the seeds of class hate. The effect of this meeting was to electrify our group to the real aims of Goulart andthepolitical trend toward a dictator type of government.” Causing further alarm, the memorandum says, was Goulart’s move to suppress freedom of the press, radio and TV. “The Goulart action that caused the most concern was clares, “Goulart, jointly with his three military ministers held a mass meeting in Rio attended by about 10,000 people.
