By PhU Newsom A Swedish economist rated one of the foremost in Europe, professor Gunnar Myrdal, has called attention to one of the saddest of all truths in this present-day world. The rich countries, he said, are spending close to $200 billion each year in war preparations, a figure greater than the combined national incomes of all on-Communist under-de-veloped nations in the world. And he warns that unless these rich countries overcome what he calls their indifference and apathy toward the ’ menacing calamities" of the atomic arms race and to widespread j starvation, there will be no future for anyone. It is doubtful that anyone will contest either the professors figures or his conclusions. The United States General j Assembly has voted 112 to zero for a world disarmament conference not later than 1967. In Washington there recently was concluded a series of conferences which Included debate on disarmament proposals drawn up by a citizens’ commission at the request of President Johnson. After noting that previous attempts at world disarmament have stumbled on a “crisis of confidence," the commission proposed that among other things the United States should: —Seek a treaty against proBferation of nuclear weapons. —Seek Western military and political solidarity t h r o u g h means other than a Multilateral Nuclear Force for NATO or an Atlantic nuclear force. —Seek a system of guarantees for non-nuclear nations against nuclear attacks. —Seek agreement with the Soviet Union and possibly others on a three-year moratorium on deployment of antiballistic missile systems. —Seek a non-aggression pact between NATO and the Sovietdominated W T arsaw Pact organization. There were other equally high-minded proposal* and It may be that some will live long enough to see them carried out. But just as past attempts have stumped on a question of confidence, harsh reality suggests a future not much better. The Red Chinese already have harshly rejected their invitation to a U, N.-sponsored conference which also will be boycotted by the French, thereby removing two of the world's five atomic powers. The West Germans certainly would do their best to block anything smacking of world recognition for East Germany, such as any pact with the Warsaw powers would imply. As for a moratorium on development of an anti-missile system, it is probable that, rather than through agreement, the greatest deterrents for both the United States and the So-

viet Union are costs and doubts about its effectiveness. As of today, a major war can be fought only with the consent or help of either the United States or Russia. The only meaningful nuclear treaty yet reached, the partial ban on nuclear testing, came about as result of direct negotiations among the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain and not in the crowded halls of Geneva. Unfortunately, the time for similar direct negotiations at which still other agreements might be reached is not now.

TV In Review By Rick Du Brow

HOLLYWOOD UPI — Possibly you have noticed In either newspaper or magazine stories that a talented young lady named Barbara Harris has achieved musical comedy stardom on Broadway. It is also a matter of record that such per- : formers as Barbara Streisand, in “Funny Girl,” and Zero Mostel, in “Fiddler on the Roof” and other notable stage entries, are reigning Broadway figures.

I bring up these massively talented stars in connection with television mainly to illustrate the monumental lack of ability, at the networks, to judge theatrical competence, or in fact to even know what it I looks like most of the time. For ; if Broadw-ay is a fabulous invalid, then television is a fabulous corpse except for an occasional top special or an accident of success in a weekly series, or public affairs programs. What I am getting at specifically is that most of the people-in-charge at the networks, being basically huckster salesmen as opposed to showmen, are totally terrified when it comes to maping judgments of talent — for if they weren’t, they might have landed such stars as the Misses Harris and Streisand, and Mostel, for major productions long ago for

long ago is shameful.

Broadway is rightly accused of taking few interesting gambles these days, but in contrast to television it is almost avant garde. The Misses Harris and Streisand, and Mostel, for instance, had some rare credits before getting their first top Broadway billings — but still it took nerve on the part of the backers, the showmen and the creators to gamble on them as headliners, for there was a time when they certainly weren’t as celebrated as they are now.

broc-

carrots, cauli-

flower, celery, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, greens, and lettuce are good buys. Also plentiful are onions, nuts- potatoes, radishes, squash and sweet pota-

toes.

Apples, bananas and grapefruits lead the fruit plentiful list. Grapes, oranges and tangerines are bountiful and are buys for the bargain-hunter’s

list.

Nationally, fish sticks and portions, canned tuna and canned red salmon are in good supply in the fish section.

■^Country Chicken’', a harbinger of autumn activities, is sure to please your guests. White meat of chicken baked with flavorful broccoli, tangy cheddar cheese soup and zesty American blue cheese make this luscious luncheon entree. Tangy parmesan cheese and green pepper rings garnish the delectable casserole. Popular American blue cheese is available at budget prices in local stores.

television is tempting because of the big money, and occasionally it excites, but It is the sausage factory plain and simple. I remember some years ago, when the famous improvisational “Second City” troupe arrived here to perform at a local theater, and a welcoming

dish, once was considered only good enough for slaves in tropical colonies.

A frog fish can swallow a fish almost the same size as Itself because of its elastic stomach.
