AND NEXT TIME?
(N.Z.P.A. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. The member of Parliament for Waitemata (Dr M. Bassett) has a knack for visiting the United States at times when political upheavals take place. He was in Washington in 1963 when President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. He next visited America when anti-Vietnam war riots erupted, forcing President Johnson to announce two weeks later his intention not to run for office again. On Friday, he lunched at the John F. Kennedy Centre, for the Performing Arts, less than a mile from the White House where President • Gerald Ford was being sworn into office.
