IN years gone by the Russians set off propaganda fireworks in their theaters aimed at making ogres and fools out of America's leaders. According to reports that drifted west, these plays were so outrageous in their manipulation of fact and so crude in their imputation of evil motives that honest, intelligent persons could only pity the mentalities taken in by such fabrications.

WESTBURY, L. I., Feb. 22&#8212;Quen Dira Ton, a 4&#8208;year&#8208;old French&#8208;bred pacer, tonight earned the dubious distinction of being the season's first oddson favorite to lose at Roosevelt Raceway. The 4&#8208;to&#8208;5 shot broke stride early and wound up last in the field of eight in the first race.

AN eloquent quotation from W. Shakespeare would be appropriate in connection with the forthcoming spring and summer international travel season&#8212;appropriate because April 23, 1964, is to be celebrated lavishly and at great length in Great Britain and elsewhere wherever footlights shine, as the 400th anniversary of the playwright's birth. However, Will was not much of a traveler&#8212;up to London and back and forth to Stratford&#8208;on&#8208;Avon, and his sense of geography and his opinions of tourism were equally unfortunate.

The Tigers trailed, 32&#8208;30, at half&#8208;time and needed about eight minutes of the second half to shake off the upset&#8208;minded Bruins.

The U.S. effort to quarantine the regime of Fidel Castro has encountered many difficulties. It began in 1961 with appeals to allied and friendly nations not to send their ships or cargoes to Cuba. The appeal conflicted with traditional policy in nations such as Britain which rely heavily on trade. In 1962 the U.S. began to blacklist ships putting in at Cuban ports and to deny them U.S. Government&#8208;financed cargoes. That too had little effect.
