17 May 1960
Dear Mr. Dulles:
had occasion to write you on a few matters that have
seemed I to have me of great concern for us internationally, especially
after my year's trip around- the world.
Now I wish to add the support of my 43 year's as a critic of
theatre and dance to the words ofeJohn Martint(enclosedt herewitoth),
regarding ANTA's choice of the American
Russia on our "Special Program for Cultural Presentations."
It may well be that recent events will cause tseacane Lunwise most f all such projects to Russia; if not, surely
project to send this -- or any - ballet group to the Soviet or.
I hope your organization will make this clear to the appro-priate
bodies.
Sincerely,
from NYTIMES, May 15, 1960, page 9. This was sent;
*Enclosed clipping to State.
down to CA Staff w/basic for forwarding
