MISSING GUEST Trim, soft-spoke President Sockawati of East Indonesia creat- ed quite a furor in the august State Department the other day He was scheduled to be there at 11 a. m. to make a formal call. But the hour passed, and no President Sockawati State Department officials im- mediately conjured up dire p: - bilities: assassination, kidnaping, etc. A frantic search was immed- iately instituted. In the midst of the excitement the distinguished guest arrived—calm and beaming, with a camera in his hand. “Where have you been, sir?” he was asked. “We've been terribly worried. “I'm very sorry,” was ths sur- prised rep! “But on the way here 1 passed the White House and noticed peopls takng piztures.
