the
news today
by The Associated Press and College Press Servic
204 AMERICANS were killed in Vietnam last week, the lowest
total in two months.
U.S. and South Vietnamese commands also reported yesterday
that 244 South Vietnamese and 2,890 NLF and North Vietnamese
troops were killed in the week ended midnight Saturday.
This latest casualty report brings the total number of Americans
killed in Vietnam to 34,067.
MEANWHILE, at the Paris peace talks, American and South
Vietnamese delegates warned their NLF and North Vietnamese coun-
terparts that they could not win military victory.
A FEDERAL JUDGE ruled Wednesday that a draft board
may not order a registrant to report for immediate induction as:
punishment for violation of Selective Service "delinquency regula-
tions."
The judge held that a New York board had denied a registrant
his constitutional rights by placing his name at the top of its con-
scription list. The board had received a false report that the registrant
was enrolled in the Air Force Reserve, but the registrant denied he
had any knowledge of the report.

PANMUNJON, Korea tP, A
face-to-face meeting between the
United States and North Korea
over the downing of a U.S. intel-
ligence plane broke up with an
American walkout last night.
The walkout came 46 minutes
after the start of the meeting
when the North Korean delegate
insisted on knowing the unit to
which the downed U.S. Navy plane
was attached.
The plane was shot down Tues-
day. Two bodies of the crew were
recovered in the Sea of Japan
Thursday. There was little hope of
findingany sury-ivors among the
the 29 crewmen still missing.
Air Force Maj. Gen. James B.
Knapp read out a U.S. protest to
the North Korean side at a meet-
ing of the Military Armistice Com-
mission here. The statement
charged that the downing of the
plane was a "calculated act of ag-
gression."
Knapp then abruptly walked out
when his North Korean counter-
part, Maj. Gen. Lee Choon-sun,
persisted three times in demand-
ing the plane's unit.
Knapp has just finished his
statement when the North Korean
representative counter-c h a r g e d
that the United States illegally
dispatched the plane for spying
purposes in an act of piracy.
The Communist delegate then
asked Knapp to say which outfit
the downed aircraft belonged to.
Knapp ignored the request and
said: "f have nothing further to
discuss. Do you have anything,to
say?"
Lee then asked Knapp again to
disclose the unit from which the
plane came.
Knapp repeated his earlier
statement. So did the North Kor-
ean delegate.
It was then that the American
general stood up and walked out
of the room with his aides as the
bewildered North Korean nego-
tiator watched.
watched.
Lee and his aides then also
walked out, ending the meeting
called by the North Koreans.
The North Korean delegate
opened the meeting at 9 p.m. EST
last night, with a statement that
did not contain any reference to
the downed plane.

Hail Joanna
Every now and then a movie comes along
that gives one the feeling that things are
going to change. They don't really or at
least very slowly and haltingly, for habits of
mind and operation in so expensive a medi-
um as that of feature film are relatively
fixed, and the tendency s to do it the old
way. But then The Graduate suddenly
breaks through, or Bonnie and Clyde, and-
a few more people get the chance to do it
their own way. This year it may well be
Joanna, which Twentieth Century-Fox is
releasing, that will signal another change
of direction. In technique it 3s fresh; its
spirit is contemporary; its attitudes are
youthfully free of cant or moralizing.
The movie was made in London, and it
tells a relatively simple story. It's all about
a pretty, leggey, teen-age girl called Joanna
who comes to London to study art and who,
let us say, is inclined to diversify her affec-
tions. It would be wrong to call her promis-
cuous because the word has a moralistic
ring. There's nothing bad or wrong about
Joanna. She enjoys sleeping with whoever
happens to strike her fancy at the right
moment. Her view of reality is slightly
askew, mainly because she's almost childish-
ly caught up in a fantasy of who she is.
Michael Same, a twenty-eight-year-old
former pop singer and composer, photog-
rapher, journalist, book and film critic, wrote
the story and directed it; Michael Laughlin,
a twenty-eight-year-old American from Illi-
nois produced it; and, very importantly,
Walter Lassally, the brilliant young camera-
man of Tom Jones, photographed it. They
all somehow- provide the conviction that
they knew exactly what they were doing and
how to do it. It's as though they said to each
other: "Let's make a story about a crazy,
cheeky, beautiful girl, the kind who comes
to London and wanders into someone's bed,
who shows up at parties in Chelsea, who
seems built by nature to wear mini-skirts,
who doesn't understand a thing, and yet is
somehow lovable. And let's tell about the
people she runs into, and what happens to
them and to her because of them."
That's about all the movie does for its
two-hour length, but it does it so winningly,
with such tender, tolerant understanding
of the girl, that it is a joy to watch. For a
while, one is not even much aware of the
fact that a story is being told. We meet
Joanna casually; catch glimpses of her here
and there; suddenly are catapulted into one
of her girlish fantasies; see her yawning,
running, talking to someone at a party;
learning about life from a serious young
artist; being rejected by a boy who is as
diversified in his affections as she is inclined
to be: visiting a girl friend about to have an
abortion. In Joanna's little world, both black
and white are equally beautiful. Her best
girl friend is a beautiful black girl, whose
brother, handsome and arrogant, Joanna
falls most in love with. The black girl has a
boy friend, Lord Peter Sanderson, a young
man dying of leukemia who doesn't want
his friends to know about it, or grieve over
Alpert
him when. he goes. What helps make the
movie so pleasing (rather than pleasant) is
that it doesn't make a "thing" out of its
racial mixing.
The film is helped immeasurably by Gene-
vieve Waite, who plays Joanna as though
playing herself. Maybe Miss Waite is
Joanna, for I can't separate her from the
role, and I don't ever want to meet her,'
because it might spoil the spell she has cast
over me. Miss Waite makes you understand
why all those intelligent, talented young
people wanted to tell Joanna's story. And
she is wonderfully abetted by those who
play the people who flow in and out of her
life, such as Donald Sutherland as Lord
Peter. Because we are made to see everyone
through Joanna's, hazy view, Lord Peter is
a modern-day saint, even though he is
rich, idle, and hedonistic. He just wants
people to enjoy life while they have it, and
he contributes what he can to that enjoy-
ment. Then there is Calvin Lockhart, as
the black nightclub owner, with a streak
of innate violence, who has his pick of girls
but likes best the complaisant Joanna; and
Christian Doermer, who won't let his birds
interfere with his pursuit of art. In a fan-
tasy'ending, these and others (and here, I
think, Mr. Sarne was perhaps influenced by
the ending of Fellini's 81/) perform a show
business salute to the happy-sad-go-lucky
spirit of Joanna. A little too cheeky, maybe.
But providing the ambience, the beauty,
the nostalgia, the charm, is that limpid
photography of Mr. Lassally. And, for mood
there is Rod McKuen's score which has a
"sound" and some simple, evocative songs.
Joanna doesn't say anything "important,"
but it's right out of today, or perhaps what
young people think is today. In its way it
is brave and bold, and I hope it does well,
