And everything will be where it was before the trip was taken. This will not be publicized, however.

"THERE IS more talk about cutting foreign aid than I have ever heard in Congress," warn- SEETHING MIDDLE EAST A large Russian mapping mission has just completed a de- New Reuiher-Meany Feud! One can't help admiring Soviet Russia's star performer, Nikita S. Khrushchev, currently hard at work on his international role of trying to drive a wedge between Great Britain and her NATO allies. His audience is British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, and this cultured Englishman is getting the full treatment.

Listen to the Khrushchev statements which bubble like champagne at every public occasion: "We should recognize that there are no obstacles to friendly relations between us," or "We all live on the same planet and enjoy the same sun and air. Let's-find wisdom to bring peace," or "You (Macmillan) are a man of peace," etc. This high octane hyperbole is the technique of the diplomat, and usually goes on while the trap door is being triggered under the gallows platform. Mr. Macmillan answered in kind.

He knows what he is about he's an expert at this deadly sport. Underneath the two men and the nations they represent are as far apart as ever. But to give the world the idea that great things will come out of the meeting, they usually rush into an agreement for a closer cultural relationship between the two nations. This Mr. Macmillan and Mr.

Khrushchev did quickly. It's been done between the Unite'd States and Kussia also, of course. All this means is that the only subject the two spokesmen can agree on at all rests in the nebulous world of art, music and folk dancing. It is also a highly-charged appeal for "understand-'- ing" "coexistence" and "togetherness." In essence, it is froth. It has all the reality of any staged performance.

But it makes wonderful propa-1 ganda, so BBC will be loaded with well-! indoctrinated, and beautifully trained i performers and musicians who will give the impression that all of Russia is divided into three parts music, gai- ety and dance.

"If your foreign aid budget is to be passed anywhere near the amount you have recommended, you are going to need all the support you can muster. And the sooner you get to work on that the better." "I appreciate your information," the President replied gravely. "I knew we faced a fight on this issue, but didn't realize it was that bad."

He will make an official visit there in May, as the guest of King Frederik Iraq's revolutionary government has signed a big oil agreement with Red China. It provides for the construction of new refineries to supply only Communist China. Full details of this deal are still not known, but it is clearly in line with Premier Kassem's policy of favoring the Reds. DESPITE Gamal Nasser's recent crackdown on Communists in Egypt and Syria, he is continuing to cuddle up closely to Russia. The United Arab Republic dictator has notified West Germany that it can participate CIO leaders in a bloc.

Only trouble with that one was that it seemed pretty hard to find a discontented cow. Now, by the testimony of nearly two score food editors, we learn that steak from tranquilized steers is superior to that from steers who haven't had a shot of the calm juice.

With appropriate ceremony, the test was held recently in a New York hotel. The vote was 25 to 9 for the tranquilized meat, with no abstentions. Seems that steers en route to a stockyard, and waiting around in the pens, are fidgety and fretful. While they worry, they lose weight, get into fights and become hard to handle. Give them a shot of tranquilized drug, it is said, and the steers board a train or a truck for the stockyards as if they were going off a holiday excursion.

We will be seeing a hi? cattle' We have a hunch that a certain idea, which seems pretty zany at first glance, may start a wave of enthusiasm that will sweep the world. It is the "International Doghouse Club," founded by two London businessmen to give all oppressed husbands in every land the comfort of knowing that they do not stand (or cringe) alone. Another side of the idea that bodes well for its success is the fact that there will be no dues or meetings. There is only one rule: a wine-colored tie, emblazoned with silver motifs of a doghouse with upturned feet in its entrance, must be worn each day following a domestic incident.

The founders are banking on the universal appeal of the idea to carry the club's aim to all parts of the world, which is "to provide a smile where there might have been a frown." All in all, it sounds like a jolly good movement. One does get tired, however, of wearing the same tie every day.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The writer is correct; the headline should not have referred to the union, but to the employees of West-inghouse. Pleading guilty to an editorial error, we do, however, take exception to the charge that this was a deliberately "slanted" device to achieve a "tie-in with union politics." Further, we suggest that a discussion of motives for distributing the letter is poinUess and remind the writer that the letter obviously was prompted by the loss of this specific contract.
