IT MAY BE THAT in a negative way the Communists understand that God is sovereign still, that in the final analysis the ultimate forces of the universe are against the ruthless exercise of power, against deceptions and abuse of freedom. They know that the moment they pause for breath, relax their struggle, their system is doomed. As one Marxist said fo a Christian, "We are more desperate than you, for we have uJ this once. If we fail now, we fail forever.

You can fail and yet succeed." Some years ago I stood on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea near Tripoli, looking out over the blue waters on which so many ancient battles had been fought. The ships of Athens and Sparta, Persia and Phoenicia, France and Britain had clashed within sight of the shore. Here the Crusaders had pushed their clumsy boats onto the sand. The place reeked of history. While I stood on the shore, I watched the tide slipping out, leaving a beach of white sand in its wake.

I remembered, then, a sentence I had read somewhere, and in that moment it seemed significant: "The tide always comes back." THE TIDE OF GOD always does come back to smash our untidy ways. It surges back with irresistible power to shatter the tyrannies of Alexanders and Napoleons, the stupidities of the Crusaders, the power-craving Hitlers and Stalins. They have but one chance. God has forever. "The tide always comes back." In the long run it isn't military hardware that is decisive.

On the contrary, it is the tide of God, and the problem for us is to move with the tide. Teach, us to understand we cannot dejy Thy will with impunity, our Father, jor Thou art lord of history and arbiter of our ways. Amen. old fashioned Russian music crisply updated with Balanchine's stylish choreography. Rouben Ter-Arutunian's decor, revamped from a New York City Opera production of Rossini's "Cinderella," is a welcome addition to the local repertory made possible by the pavilion's new stage.

Turntables and an elevator make the appearance of a Ballet good fairy in the abduction of Colombine as easy as turning a crank. Mr. Villella and Miss McBride as everyone by now knows are an ideal stellar pair. His affectionate clown leaps more than he moons. She is a bewitching expert at flashing smiles and blowing kisses.

The odder couple, Pierrot and Pierrette were equally effective, their white face makeup only partly concealing Suki Schorer and Deni Lamont. The rest of the company masqueraded as conspirators, larks and exaggerated villains from the centuries-old story. Several area children also participated as Mr. Villella's miniature doubles. "Agon" is Stravinsky's contest masterpiece based on a mid-17 century French dance manual.

Its competitions conducted by twos, threes, fours and eights lie more in the realm of style and subtle ar- BV THOMAS WILLIS IT WAS not precisely a gala opening for the New York City Ballet last night at Ravinia. There was a work new to Chicago, George Balanchine's two-act bit of fluff called "Harlequinade" with Edward Villella and Patricia McBride heading the commedia dell'arte cast. This was preceded by "Agon," one of the Balanchine-Stra-vinsky collaboratives. But many empty seats do not make for comfort on either side of the curtain and for some reason too many people stayed away. When the curtain itself fell victim to opening night jitters and refused to open, it was the final touch.

I am at loss to explain the empty seats. It is true that the program included none of the better known favorites, no "Swan Lake" or "Symphony in and that the casts were not made public until later than usual, but this is, after all, the best American company going. Its repertory worst is as good as most of its competition's best. And Ravinia audiences have not generally been so particular. In any case, since the company makes only one visit to the area each season, tickets should by all rights be at a premium.

Having said this, I confess that last night was one of the least satisfying evenings 1 have spent with my favorite company. "Harlequinade" is Deni Lamont and Suki Schorer in "Harlequinade." FLASH: The search is on for an unknown leading lady to play opposite Ryan O'Neal in M-G-M's "Deadly Honeymoon," which starts shooting in October. If you're just dying to play Ryan's wife, write M-G-M, not us. ADD RYAN: But before he moves to the lion's lair, Ryan is supposed to costar with Barbra Streisand in Warner's "What's Ud Doc?" We say supposed to because the studio has been having monumental problems in coming up with a script to please Ryan and Barbra. Filming is supposed to start Aug.

16 in San Francisco, but don't bet on it. P. S. In answer to the letter from the Streisand lover, there is no truth to the rumor that some of the movie will be shot In Chicago. Sorry about that.

WE TOLD YOU SO DEPARTMENT: Some of the first reviews are in on "The Love Machine" and they're calling it dullsville. The same M-G-M publicity department which some weeks ago pretended they never heard of Michael Laughlin or his movie "Open Shadow," which stars Leslie Caron, has now sent out a news item that M-G-M will release the picture in the fall. SHADES OF BULLITT: In the movie "The Last Run," George C. Scott pulls a Steve McQueen and drives a 1954 B. M.

people were so pleased at the star performance Scott got out of their car that they surprised him with an award a B. M. W. all his own. P.

Scott didn't send it back. SPEAKING OF RACING: Dick Richards, leading TV commercial producer-director turned filmmaker, has all but signed Jack Nicholson to star in his second movie "Dixie Express," which he describes as a "cerebral racing car" movie, whatever that is. Richards is currently directing his first feature. "We Pointed 'Em North" for 20th. And we hear that Rita Hayworth is homeless because of Richards.

She rented her house to him for a year when she headed for Broadway thinking she had the lead in "Applause." That didn't work out, so Rita returned to Hollywood and she's now living in a rented house until Dick's year is up. TRY PALM SPRINGS, RUDY: A few columns ago we mentioned that Rudy Vallee got a quick turn down from the L. A. City Council in his request for changing the name of his street Pyramid Place to Rue d'Vallee. Our advice to Rudy move to Palm Springs, pop for a new hospital and a few million for charity, and it might work.

There's now a Bob Hope Drive named for Bob because of all that money he gave and raised for the new Eisenhower Memorial Medical Center, and beautiful Wonder Palm Drive is being changed to Frank Sinatra Drive and you know why.

With a complex score of remarkable clarity to work with, Balanchine keeps his formation light, witty and precise.

I missed Jacques D' Amboise and Suzanne Far-rell, the originals, as who wouldn't. But Kay Mazzo and BY EDITH HERMAN A Pork Loin Roll for the Rotisserie A private consulting firm yesterday recommended a major reorganization of the Board of Education's Human Relations and Community Relations Departments as a step toward relieving tensions in schools and communities. The report, to be presented at tomorrow's board meeting, was prepared at the board's request by SPA-REDCO, a Chicago-based education consulting firm. The report states that present operations of the Depart Among the recommendations are: 1. Change the role of the Human Relations Department to that of primarily in-service training, offering classes in human relations to administrators, teachers and students.

A training coordinator, paid would be added. 2. Transfer 350 persons from the Human Relations Department to the smaller Community Relations Department, now mostly in charge of "iblic relations. 3. Let the enlarged Comm particular, should be cooked carefully.

Fruit kebabs may be made this way: Cut a large orange in half, place cut side down and cut each half in quarters. Cut a banana or two crosswise in chunks to obtain 8 pieces. Cut 2 slices of fresh or canned pineapple in quarters.

Thread each of 8 5-inch wooden skewers with a piece of each kind of fruit. Brush with the same tropical glaze used for the pork loin and heat on grill 5 minutes, turning and brushing again with the glaze. For both indoor and outdoor cooking, combinations of fresh vegetables are a delight in summer. Summer squash with onions and fresh tomatoes, for example, or eggplant, tomato and onion casserole. Most of these combinations take very little cooking.

Brush with the glaze several times during the last hour on the turning spit. To prepare the glaze, combine orange juice, sherry, brown sugar, mustard and orange rind and cook in a Human Relations and Commu stances. The fresh pork loin is a little more unusual, and the meat can be juicy and succulent.

Glaze it while it turns on the spit, using a mustardy sherry and orange sauce. Serve it with fruit kebabs if you like, and with saffron rice and a vegetable or two. It will be a feast!

West opened the king of diamonds against five spades doubled and continued with the ace, on which East discarded a heart as declarer ruffed with the five of spades.

This means that Wesley doctors can admit patients to Passavant and Passavant doctors can admit their patients to Wesley. They also will be able to use the pharmacy, equipment and staffs of the other hospital.

second club was ruffed with the ten of spades and the closed hand was reentered by trumping the nine of hearts with the six of spades. A third club was led and ruffed with dummy's king. The carefully preserved seven of trumps was now put thru and when East followed with the eight, South played the nine. His efforts were rewarded when West showed out. The ace of spades picked up East's jack, the king and queen of clubs dropped the ten and declarer took the fulfilling trick with the nine of clubs.

Failure to unblock North's high trumps would have locked declarer in dummy at the crucial moment when the clubs become established and it would become necessary for South to ruff a diamond with his last trump while East still retains the jack of spades.

West should have shown more reluctance to defend on the deal. Partner's jump response of three hearts to West's opening bid, presumably shows 13-16 points in support. If among his values are the black aces and the king of hearts, then a slam becomes virtually assured. Ift East has one black ace and as good as the ace-jack of trumps, then six hearts will depend on a finesse.

South's bidding had indicated that the latter held a two-suited hand in spades and clubs. Defensive prospects were not bright because of the unlikelihood of cashing many tricks in the red suits. Bidding six hearts is merely taking out insurance at the Roast loin of pork is succulent when cooked on a rotisserie and served with fruit kebabs. School on a third corner.

"This is an example of two institutions voluntarily taking the step toward conservation of medical resources, not only in Bridge spade was led to declarer's queen as both opponents followed suit. A club was led and West discarded a heart. South now paused to assess the evidence before him. West was known to have only one club and five diamonds. Inasmuch as he had opened the bidding with one heart, it was to be presumed that he held at least five cards in that suit as well which would leave him with at most two spades.

Declarer was not satisfied, however, to stop there. His left hand opponent had freely competed all the way to the five level which tended to indicate that his values were highly distributional. This was borne out by the fact that East's original jump raise to three hearts conventionally promises at least 10 high card points. If this were the case, then West had, at most 11 points in high cards. On the basis of this information, declarer decided to play West for a 6-5-1-1 distribution.

If the latter had a singleton spade, then careful play was required to succeed on the deal.
