of my sudcess. But first let me explain that children who grow up in Washington become rather blase about the big wheels that spin around here. They don’t regard government officials as being very important. Many a night I have gone home from work and dropped names around like confetti. My kinder didn’t even look up from the television set. But now, I’m proud to say, I’ve

got them swooning into their apple sauce. They think the old man is pretty hot stuff. The tide turned a night or two ago when I greeted them thusly; “Children, shake the hand that shook the hand at Bctiby Darin.” “Gosh, daddy-o,” they said, using my formal title, “how did you do it?” Well, kids, Pm just lucky I guess. Bobby was in town over the weekend to accept a ’’peraon-

ality of the yeah" award from the Variety Club,* and somebody called .me up ;<nd asked if I wanted to interview,him. So before yfou can say “Mack the Knife” I was on my way to Bobby’s hotel spite with my faithful Indian companion, Dr. Zhivago, at my side, I took Dr. Zhivago along to starve as my interpreter. c .__l; : .. When we got there, Bcbfay’s pad looked like a scene from an old Marx, Brothers movie. People > were going in and out of doors , so last it, made me dizzy. Bobby 5 must hawe a bigger retinue than . ex-King Farouk. In the midst of this confusion stood the bread-winner himself, olad in a tight-fitting silk syit i which Dr. Zhivago mistook for a 1 matador’s costume. “They must be getting ready to < send him into the bull ring,” Dr. < Zhivago whispered. ■, Hard to Convince I explained that the suit represented the latest Continental sash- 1 ion, but Dr. Zhivago remained dubious. “If someone sold me a suit like . that, I’d sue the tailor,” he saidEventually, we were able to , draw Bobby into a quiet corner 2 where we <had a pleasant chat. < We learned that he had just re- 1 turned from Italy where he made j a movie with Gina Loltobrigida. i, "How do you like Italian women?” I asked. ‘‘l’m a female lover,” Bobby replied. “I don’t ask for their ID 1 cards unless they look under IB.” i I don’t remember much else about the interview, but it’s sure , great to be able to bask in his * reflected glory. i J 1 > ■ > '■■■.' —o I Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 111 a -o 1 ‘ • Q. Thera’s a friend of ours who j makes a habit of paying “casual visits" just! before mealtime. Am I obligated to ask her to join us? A. If ypu really do not want ■ her to stay; you are perfectly pri- i vileged to kay, "I’m sorry I can’t i ask you to stay for dinner, but i we have only four chops”—or 1 whatever fits the situation. Q. I iptend to mail out about ' 200 invitations to my wedding. 1 Would it be all right for me to 5 use a metered stamp on en-i' velopes? A. Not unless you want your wedding to take on a commercial or businesslike aspect! The stamps must be affixed by hand. Q. My husband’s name is Rotfc ert T. Clark, while his father is Robert O. Clark. Should my husband affix YJr." to his name? 1 u A. Because of the diffenence in middle names, this is not necessary. Q. Would it be proper for a girl who has been wbrking in an office to invite her employer to her wedding? A. This would depend upon her relationship with him. If it’s always been strictly business, she I should not ifivite him. If, however, they are good friends and he shown an interest in her wedding plans, she may properly invite I him. Q. Is it considered necessary for a hostess always to provide new cards for her guests at a: bridge party? A. Not if her old cards are spotless, shiny, and easily shuffled or handled. Otherwise, yes. Q. Is it in good taste for women, wearing choir robes in church, to wear corsages? A. Never! Q. When a secretary to opening her employer's and s comes to an envelope that seems, to be personal, what shpuld she do? T A. This would depend upon circumstances. Some employers would reaent having their personal l mail opened. Usually, it is not to open anything that has the appearance of being personal. i Q. I have received a wedding announcement from the. family of a girl whom we know only casually. Am I supposed to counter with a gift? A. A marriage announcement never imposes a gift. T ♦ k.

Show Os Strength Misgivings Over

/ By PHIL NEWSOM / UPI Foreign Editor T/vice in less than a month the Unjfted States has felt compelled to Remonstrate for the Fidel Castrjo government the speed and strength of its (striking power in the Caribbean. Ini late October, with a minimum of advance notice, it landed 1,2 w Marines at the U.S. naval ba£e at Guantanamo on Cuba's eastern tip for what officially was described as a weekend of rest and recuperation. As a show of force, its signifiwas not lost on the Cubans. Oq Nov. ®7, the United States resppnded speedily to a call for help from Guatemala and Nicaragua, dispatching an aircraft carrier and destroyers to Central American waters with orders to ‘‘seek put and prevent” any intervention by Communist-led forces in tha internal affairs of the two count pas. Howls of Outrage Thp howls of outrage from Hav/ma, Moscow and Peiping were to be anticipated. But even among the United States’ friends there were misgivings. * Latin American governments generally refrained from comment. Others were not so reticent. In Colombia, where the government wastes no love on Castro, the influential Bogota newspaper El Tiempo said the move "disturbs us greatly.” ‘*The news is alarming,”/ it said, ‘‘because it appears th? action taken without taking, the Organization of American States into account, and without evqn consulting other of this hemisphere.’’ The Times of London said the action "might seem lijke snatching for a sledge hamnwr to crack peanuts. That is bow a great many Latin Americans probably will regard it.” Says Request Misunderstood Even Guatemala’s President Miguel Ydigorgs Fueqftes expressed

some misgivings. His request, he said, bad been misunderstood. He said Guatemala did not need protection against attack. What it did need was advance warning of attack. Since the swift U.S. action was certain to recall unpleasant memories of former U.S. "big stick” diplomacy in Latin America, it must be assumed that President Eisenhower and his advisers de-

dded in advance that the emergency justified the risk of misunderstanding- . . . When the Guatemalan rebels seized Puerto Barrios directly across from Cuba, it appeared obvious they expected help from that direption. The Cuban regime made it equally obvious it sympathized with the rebels. Supporting the U.S. position and its firm declaration that Castro will not be allowed to export his revolution elsewhere, was the State Department’s disclosure of the mamoth arms shipments received by the Castro government from Russia and Czechoslovakia. They included MIG jets, nearly 100,000 submachine guns and other equipment ranging from rockets to flame throwers.
