Mrs. Arnold, it seems, called on a group of Iranians, including an embassy official, and asked: for a contribution to the Dewey-Warren campaign. Mr. Amerie, who is not

On his return to his New York office, he says, he sent "a check to the embassy to be forwarded to Mrs. Arnold.

No Sudden Illusions ~~

AMERICAN POLICY in Yugoslavia does not imply any suddenly acquired illusions about the na of Tito's regime. It is total Communism, with little or nothing that could be called democracy in the sense in which that word is used in the West. ; * This sounds, of course, like “powder politics,” a phrase from which many Americans recoil in shock horror. Certainly, it is politics and there is no doubt that it is one use of America’s power in the world. In short, it is the kind of calculated risk America must take. :

Alex N. Dragnich, an American of Yugoslav origin, is sald to be doing an excellent job as head of the Information service and cultural attache in the embassy. He is handicapped by a small staff-—only two American assistants

and 10 Yugoslavs. The time has come, it seems .

to me, to say definitely and firmly that the narrow restrictions must be lifted.

A few years ago Amelia Earhart on an exploration voyage vanished over the ocean and the U. 8.

AMERICA'S HEART . . . By Frederick Woltman Orphans of Hiroshima
