THERE HAS BEEN AMPLE TIME to assess the initial efiect on Latin America of the great Cuban showdown. From a United States viewpoint, the result is solidly favorable. 4 Uur position, which had been uncertain, was greatly strengthened by the Caribbean crisis while both Russia's prestige and 1 (I?

It will clearly require time and patience before Com- i ii ft Shaw's Garden Director Clad That Book Was Written.

Rachel Carson's book "Silent Spring" performs a timely and important task in exposing dangers of man's careless use of poisons to combat unwanted weeds and insects, though the author sometimes overstates the case, Frits W. Went, director of Shaw's Garden, said yesterday. Went reviewed the book in a program on educational television station KETC. "I am glad the book has been written," he said, "and I hope it will have a real impact." He described the author's description of what might happen if insecticides and herbicides were used without restraint as frightening, and "entirely possible, though not probable." Overstatement comes ia terms and phrases, Went said. As an example, he cited the description of the search for new sprays to replace DDT when flies developed immunity to that spray.

Miss Carson calls it a search for "deadlier and deadlier poisons," Went said. But, Went said, new and different chemicals are not necessarily more deadly than the original, but deadly in a different way. Castro Appears With Husband, King Donovan, in 'Standing Room By MYLES STANDISH Imogene Coca, the impish comedienne, and her husband, television comedian King Donovan, appeared in "Standing Room Only" last night at the Sheraton-Jefferson Hotel's Dinner Theater. It was the premiere for the show, and it was fresh and zestful, after a rather slow start. Besides the stars, others in the cast of nine showed a lot of talent.

About 11 writers and songwriters contributed to the the 24 skits, and it was evident that persons with keen senses of humor were involved. Two of the best things, however, carried poignant touches that cut unexpectedly into the breezy Jun. One was a Kern and Harbach tune, "Poor Pierrot," in which Tom O'Hargan as a wandering minstrel, with a harp, and Miss Coca as his shabby Columbine tried to put on a street-corner show but were forced to close up by the appearance of a policeman. It had pathos and style. Donovan, in a skit written by Herb Hartig, familiar from Crystal Palace days, gave us a drunk who was closer to tears than to laughter, although there was plenty of both.

I' 9 fx tim k'mmk Triptych Going on Display Tomorrow Castro may have lost stature but we can still anticipate difficulties such as more trouble in Chile, Guatemalan selection of a Marxist president next year, or Brazilian bankruptcy and turmoil. WE WOULD be foolish merely to gloat over current United States political gains and current Russian political losses in Latin America. Rather it would be wise to concentrate on maintaining the momentum recently achieved. Unhappily, we are not especially good at telling our story over sustained periods.

Early this month everyone knew that a i had achieved a signal victory at Miscow's expense and we were able loudly to proclaim this. At that time this was not only welcome but it was also news, a commodity we are competent to handle. However, since then the Russians have been slowly developing their rebuttal. This contends that Khrushchev saved world peace by his generous, brave actions and, by peaceful means, obtained a guarantee of Cuban independence. The legend is repeated daily.

Our own propaganda is likely to grow bored with the Caribbean denouncement and move on to new thoughts. One can forsee the day when we are content to cease talking about our splendid victory as psychological warriors turn to other things. SUCH WILL never be the case with Soviet propaganda which will inevitable stress and repeat arguments that today seem unimpressive. Modern revolution-aires and counter-revolutionaires have demonstrated with astonishing success that mass opinion can' be organized and swayed by redundant illogic. Hitler quite brilliantly displayed the power of repeated untruth.

This has come to be known as the technique of the "big lie." If we do not take care, we may again be victimized in Latin America by adroit Communist use of this same technique. It is Sixteenth century Dutch or Flemish triptych to be displayed at City Art Museum tomorrow. Tha three-compartment painting is a new acquisition. MRS, E.

South American Marxists seem confused and unable to decide their line or attitude. It is evidently harder for them to defend Castro as a "Latin American revolutionist" since he has been exposed in a purely Soviet manipulation. This dims the chances of the "popular front" approach which had recently been Communist strategy. Castroism and orthodox Communism, consequently, find it more difficult to depict themselves as the inevitable wave of the future, now that Khrushchev has withdrawn his weapons from Cuba and even helped force his former puppet to his knees. One result of this apparent confusion has been the eruption of localized violence in several Latin lands.

THERE HAVE been bombings IN Venezuela, outbreaks in Chile, and isolated incidents elsewhere. But we don't suspect these derive from a Kremlin call for disorder. On the contrary, it might be currently more convenient for Moscow to keep out of the South American eye. The conflicting pronouncements uttered by some of Russia's former hemispheric friends can only embarrass Khrushchev and his cause. Leonel Brizzola, an influential if never disciplined Brazilian leftist, complains that the U.S.S.R sent Castro arms.

Squabbles have broken out in Chile between rival left-wing factions. Bolivian labor leftists border on chaos. Former Fidelis-tas in Colombia are denouncing their erstwhile hero.

Miss Coca and Donovan, who held up his end of the show with talented buffoonery, delved amusingly into the satiric field. One such skit was "See America First," a travesty on tourists stapgering home from Mexico. The other was "Beauty about a wife trying to make herself beautiful for the husband's all-important party meeting with his boss. They did a neat skit about a drablv futile pickup attempt in "It Wouldn't Work." Miss Coca's shrewd sense of the ridiculous was never bettor illustrated than in a strip tease, when after endless mincings, prancings and promising cavort-ings in a baggy camel hair's coat, she finally emerges in another camel's hair robe.

She and Donovan paired also In a fine skit, "Danger, Author at Work," in which the two lovers pantomime the thoughts of author Virgil Curry as he creates them, finally taking matters into their own hands when the writer grows fainthearted. The revue has some antic Intensification of agriculture and man's increasing need to upset the balance of nature so he may survive made development of chemical poisons necessary, the botanist said. Control of pests and insects is necessary to keep man above the level of primitive tribes, he said, citing examples of people in backward countries who are forced to move croplands yearly to avoid ants. When insect control is possible through natural methods, it is preferable, Went said, but chemicals must sometimes be used to protect man, even though wildlife may suffer. Insecticides, pesticides and fungicides are often used poorly, he said, and he said he hopes that Miss Carson's book will guide users to safer and saner employment of the dangerous chemicals.

Leicester B. Faust of Chesterfield, will be placed on display in the new accessions gallery tomorrow. Nagel said that the triptych Is of Dutch or Flemish origin. It is being studied at present in an effort to determine more accurately the date and origin of the painting. The Crucifixion is in the center panel of the painting.

At the left is a scene depicting Christ carrying the cross, and a scene at the right shows Christ after removal from the cross. In addition to the scenes on the three front panels, there are figures of saints painted in monochrome on the reverse side of the! two folding wings, Nagel said. "We are most grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Faust for their generosity in presenting this important triptych to the museum," Nagel said.
