Handy, jazz musician. A Net Gain On The Court THE WORLD is so preoccupied with war, economy, social unrest and moon shots that it has largely overlooked one of ttie most violent upheavals of the century.

This is the recent recommendation by the council of the British Lawn Tennis Association that the traditional barrier between amateur and professional tennis players be removed In all championship matches in Briteiin. You think this isn't SOMETHING? Then you don't know tennis! It means, to go no further, that the tennis championships at Wimbledon next year will most likely be open to amateurs AND akin to Queen Elizabeth teaming up the Beatles. There's a good chance, of course, that the Wimbledon championships (and nothing is more championer) may be boycotted by players of countries which don't allow such fraternization. For rajahs of the racque in the United States and elsewhere have tenaciously clung to the credo that amateur and pro tennis players are as unlike each other as Cub Scouts and professional jvrestlers, and never shall the twain twine. Cynics have scoffed at this, pointing out acidly that amateur tennis stars do not as a rule appear undernourished or poverty- etricken, even though they seem to do nothing but play tennis, and how phony can amateurism be? In any event, the move toward courtly comradeship is certain to call forth copious comment and contention.

But there is something to be said for it. It's a step toward realism and a slap at hypocrisy. And as tradition, the commingling of amateurs and pros is already a fact of life in golf. And golf has survived. for tennis? Ready? Serve! The Sickly Health Dept.

ALL KNOW about Billy Churchill and his sidewalk side in Satellite Beach, Fla. We know that someone complained that Billy was operating without a permit and that the county health de partment closed him up. To emphasize the e.vtent of his lawlessness, the health authorities ixjjnted out that Billy didn't even provide separate toilet facDities for his men and lady customers. Well, the governor of Florida didn't muff this one. He rushed In with cameras clicking and personally put the stand back in business with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, plugs for Florida fair play and free enterprise eveiywhere, and even a rap at LBJ, "AII of which was good, clean refreshment stand fun for everyone except the county health department, which came out looking a little sick.

Kennan, tlie man who virtually invented America's cold war policy of containment of international communism, says neither the Soviet Union nor Red China can afford to let the United States win a military victory in Vietnam. Those nations, he says, cannot "affoi-d to let us end this with some sort of complete military victory on our terms." Such a victory, he suggested, might well force the communists to retaliate against the United States. In a "more normal atmos- phei-e," without the international tensions caused by the Vietnam virar, Kennan said, the cold war in Europe might thaw, the numbers of Soviet and American troops in Europe might be reduced and the pace of tlie atomic arms race might lessen. He said the Soviet Union has meUowed and become less expansionist since Stalin's death. Kennan, a historian and former U.S.

ambassador to Moscow, was interviewed on the NBC television-radio program "Meet the Press."
