Summitry Sums
Up Diplomacy
If we wanted to sum up in a word the prevailing pat-
tern of post-World War n diplomacy, a good choice would
be summitry.
We’ve had the early Big Fours of the victorious po-
wers, frequent Big Threes among the Western allies until
France decided to become less so, and occasional exclu-
sive Big Twos between the superpowers.
And this is just the top^of the line. There also have been
NATO, Common Market, Warsaw Pact, Organization of
American States, Arab League, Third World and such
summits so numerous that only The World Almanac, or
possibly The Guiness Book of Records, may be up to
keeping count.
Currently economic summits are in, the latest in Bonn
July 16-17 bringing President Carter together with his
counterparts from the six other leading industrial nations
of the non-Communist world — Japan, West Germany,
Britain, France, Italy and Canada. * .........................
There are no surprises on the agenda. The problems to-
day are essentially those that have dominated discussions
at three previous gatherings - inflation and a weakening
dollar in the United States, strong but slow-growth
economies in West Germany and Japan, a chronic trade
imbalance between these two and the other major na-
tions and chronically weak economies elsewhere.
All seven are agreed on the problems, but not on how to
deal with them. The United States still wants,West Ger-
many and Japan to expand their markets for goods from
other countries and join it in pulling the rest of the group
out of a drawn-out recession.
The Germans and Japanese, not interested in import-
ing American inflation, would prefer that the U.S. apply a
little more self-discipline, particularly in the form of an
energy policy to curb oil imports and the flood of un-
wanted dollars into world markets.
The weaker economies focus on their particular needs,
.....^stance m or another.: ...........
It had Been hoped that detailed trade talks underway in
Geneva would produce a broad agreement on a number
of key points which could be ratified in Bonn. But the
Geneva bargaining, accordingrto U.S. negotiator Robert
Strauss, is only “80 percent of the way home.” The most
that can be expected at Bonn is some additional arm-
twisting outside the meeting room.
| Under the circumtances, we may ask why a summit at
all. The rationale for these gatherings has been that only
those individuals at the peak of national power can make
the necessary decisions on the vital and complex issues in-
- volved. 1 ■ ■ ■ r -,
But the summit decision-making record overall has not
been impressive. Where something of significance has re-
sulted, it has usually been a ceremonial ratification of un-
derstandings worked out earlier iB tower-level negotia-
tions a la Geneva. ^
And the economic summits, which began at Rambouil-
let near Paris in 1975, have been particularly noteworthy
~ for promises made rather than goals achieved.
: A veteran diplomatic observer, Joseph C. Harsch, com-
menting in The Christian Science Monitor, sees in the cur-
rent disarray a comparison with the London economic
conference of 1933, the failure of which historians see as
leading directly to World War II.
But the West has learned a number of lessons Eineol933-,
- not perfectly, perhaps, but wellienough to know the
danger of attempting to go it alone and the importance of
communication and cooperation. r
Bonn and its like may be short on accomplishments,
but they do institutionalize comhiUhication at the top,

most notorious rightwing blow-
r hards in Congress. Larry ‘'Ron-
ald” McDonald quickly became
known as the “FYeshman Class
Clown” after his arrival In Wash-
ington in 1975.
He fills the Congressional Rec-
ord at the taxpayers' expense
with fulminations against those
who don’t acquiesce to his far-
right, militaristic views. Then he
hides behind congressional im-
munity in making his wild
charges. ~
One of his victims, ex-Rep.
Charles Porter, D-Ore., unsuc-
cessfully challenged McDonald,
to come out from his cloak of im- *
munity. But McDonald merely
continued his scrunilous, red-
baiting attacks on the likes of
Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D.,
Disarmament Chief Paul
Wamke, the welfare poor and
gun control advocates. *
Typical of his methods was his
shotgun attack on those who

guns registered or confiscated is
a Communist,” said McDonald,
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON - Congress-
men have been scrambling to
throw the first stones at United
Nations Ambassador Andrew
Young. Rep. Larry McDonald,
D-Ga., who led the attempt to
impeach Young, is more in need
, of impeachment himself. No one
in Washington has been more ir-
responsible.
The man in the eye of the hur-
ricane, meanwhile, does not ap-
pear to be the foot-in-mouth
bungler his critics would make
him out to be. Confidential Cabi-
net minutes portray Young as a
solid, steady, straight-spoken
presidential adviser.
His remark in a Paris news-
paper interview that there are
“ hundreds, maybe even thou-
sands of people I would call po-
litical prisoners” in the U.S. was
- a blooper. Coming as it did when
President Carter was decrying
the rigged Soviet dissident trials,
the crack undermined the presi-
dent. ' ’

Footnote: Young needn’t go
back to his own civil rights pro-
secution 10 years ago to find evi-
dence of political harassment in
the United States.
Just this month, the Rev. Ben
Chavis, a civil rights activist,
who still languishes in jail des-
pite the fact the witnesses
against him have recanted their
testimony, lay for more than 24
hours in a prison cell waiting for
a doctor while suffering from in-
tenstinal pain. Although the
nearest hospital was but 15 miles
away, the warden sent Chavis to
another facility 75 miles away.
Even upon arrival there, he
was kept waiting for eight hours
before being operated on for
what he believes was a burst ap-
pendix. He is still hospitalized
with an infection.

15 GOP Senators Seek
I Campaign Panel Post
• By MARTHA ANGUS
and ROBERT WALTERS
chairmanship of the Republican 1
Senatorial Campaign Commit-
tee, traditionally at the bottom %
of the heap among GOP leader-
ship jobs in the Senate, has sud-
denly taken on new allure.
At least five senators - Orrin
G. Hatch, R-Utah, Richard G.
Lugar, R-Ind., Harrison J.
Schmitt, R-N.M., H. John Heinz,
R-Pa„ and Pete Domenici, R-
N.M. - are reportedy eying the
job, which will come up for
grabs in January.
This unprecedented display of
interest appears to stem pri-
marily from the success the cur-
.. rent committee chairman, Sen. \
■"■ Robert Packwood, R-Ore, has
had in transforming a previous-
ly anemic political unit into a
money machine of major pro-
portions. -- • •
Before Packwood took over
w-.-. .4 ' *"j-f .
two years ago, the committee
had iwerra'mA. more
million during any one election
cycle. But during 1977^8. the Dan-
el has hauled in 37 to $8 million
and distributed some $2.1 mil-
lion to GOP senatorial candi-
dates across the country.
It has built an old 38,000-name
direct mail solicitation list up to
300,000 names, and has wooed
major donors with monthly din-
ners at the home of Senate Mi-
nority Leader Howard H, Baker
Jr., whose presidential ambi-
tions .are scarcely hindered by
such hospitality to fat cats.
At least two of the Republi-
can, senators now showing in-
terest in the campaign commit-
tee chairmanship - Hatch and
Heinz - may harbor grander
ambitions of their own for the
future. 1
GREAT GAR DEBATE
California Gov. Jerry Brown
isn’t the only politician in Ameri-
ca to get PR mileage out of driv-
ing a modest Plymouth instead
sine.
When Mayor Joseph P. Riley
Jr. of Charleston, S.C., took of-
fice in December of 1975, he
traded in his predecessor’s Lin-
coln Continental for a used
Plymouth - a move which got
only minor attention at the time.
But Riley’s Plymouth has
been in the headlines lately now
that Mayor John Boure of adja-
cent — and rival — North
Charleston has persuaded the
city council there to buy him a
$12,000 silver Cadillac.
The great car debate has
white racial catastrophe in Rho-
desia. At one session, Carter
took pains to praise Young for
his part ip the "slow, steady,
consistent effort to generate the
trust of the Africans.”
Another time, Carta- also
lauded the United Nations am-
bassador for “a good job” in as-
sailing Cuban interference in An-
gola and elsewhere in Africa.
But even behind closed doors,
Young has a reputation for
speaking his mind. At a recent
secret session, he complained
sharply that neither he nor Sec-
retary of State Vance were be-
gence Agency is doing in Africa. .
Neither of them, he said, knew
whether the CIA was involved in
covert activities on the conti-
nent.
Examination of the full quote
the ambassador gave his French
interviewer also shows he was in
no way condoning the Soviet
kangaroo trials. On the con-
trary;* he was trying to make the
point that dissenters, whatever
their treatment now, will have
impact on the Soviet future.
“I THINK THE current Soviet
dissidents could well be the sal-
vation of the Soviet Union,” he
said after recalling his own ar-
.....restduring the civil rights strug-
gle in this country. “They are a
natural development of the So-
viet society, but the leadership
has net yet realized it.”
The congressman trim initi-
ated the impeachment resolu-
tion against Young is one of the
ANDREW YOUNG has made
some ill-advised statements. But
it is noteworthy that in recent
yean other government figures
were guilty of even more outra-
geous statements. Yet they were
never threatened with impeach-
ment.

would be inflatinary and might
set a precedent for other induis-
.tries which would like similar
subsidies to beat the expense of
complying with federal regula-
tions.
“This is more than a bailout,”
fumed one congressional critic.
“It’s a theft.” ,
It’S
Possible
The other day I was
watching as the elevator
doors opened. I had just
stepped out of my office in
time to see a young mother
with a little girl pulling at
her skirt. The mother looked
busy ... she seemed to be
rushed, and even a little
harrassed.
I asked my secretary,
“Who is she? What is she
doing here at this time of
day?” My secretary rem-
inded me that the woman

the whole operation.
My secretary reminded
me, “You remember she

months ago that really

for our wonderful congrega-
tion.” I remembered. Her

Someone told me that using
a rolling pin on the hips
would help roll away the fat.
Is it true? I have been doing
it for about a week and I am
one fourth inch smaller. It’s
hard to believe. I am 5 feet 4,
132 pounds. My thighs and
hips are my only problem. I
hope you will answer and
say it does help because 111

them in another area - longevity. . ; -------------
