THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1961 NIGHT EDITOR: MICHAEL OLINICK CAMPUS: 'Stella,' Cast Re-Live 'Sund ay'Success JUDGING by the two movies in which American audiences have had a chance to see her, Melina Mercouri is in a rut. "Stella," the second movie to visit Ann Arbor in which Miss Mercouri is starred, casts her as a nightclub singer by vocation and mistress to many by vocation. This is only a slight switch from "Never on Sunday," in which she was mistress by vocation and singer by avocation. One has the feeling, however, after seeing "Stella," that the movie was originally filmed for domestic (Greek) consumption; and that when Miss Mercouri made such a hit in "Never on Sunday," Hannah Must Choose Between Con-Con, MSU 0 WHENEVER A PROFESSOR decides to ven- ture beyond the walls of his academic fortress to seek wisdom at another campus or to enter the world of realpolitik, he usually gets a friendly tap on the head from the gov- erning board of his university and a leave of absence without pay. This is clearly as it should be. A university ought to let its faculty members expand their horizons or serve society in an elective public office. The university, however, has not ob- ligation to pay the faculty man for these excursions. THIS THE POSITION of several professors who have sought seats as delegates to the constitutional convention. Prof. James A. Pol- lock, of the political science department, has secured Regental approval to become a can- didate. Some "equitable" agreement about his salary will be worked out with President Hat- cher and Regents, if and when he is elected. Prof. Gordon L. Thomas, of the speech de- partment of Michigan State University (former haunt of gubernatorial aspirant Paul Bagwell) will run on the final con-con delegate ballot. He received word yesterday that he, too, must assume a leave of absence without pay should he win. So far all is fine. The convention will doubt- less demand full-time, full-week work from each of its delegates. It will leave little, if any time for a faculty member to teach classes or conduct significant research. Perhaps evenings and Saturday mornings will be free. THESE CONSIDERATIONS make MSU Pres- ident John Hannah's actions a little sus- picious and reprehensible. Hannah is a GOP candidate for con-con, but has declared he will not take a leave or give up his salary (more than $25,000 per year) if elected. At the same time, he claims a faculty man cannot be teacher and delegate at the same time: one job must suffer. Therefore, one job must go unpaid. How Hannah can then rationalize his own position is inconceivable. By his own logic, he can either be a good delegate to con-con or a good university president. Not both. The university is bound to suffer if he is away from it on a full-time basis for several months. He won't be there to read reports, chair conferences, interact with students and faculty, or make decisions. This will happen no matter how much his heart longs for the good of the institution on the banks of the ole Red Cedar. Hannah should either drop out of the con- con race or resign his presidency for the duration of the convention if he wants com- petent and dynamic leadership for both the state and MSU. -MICHAEL OLINICK -Daily-Edward Langs Trio Adds Sparkle to Baroque "BAROQUE music? Oh, it all sounds the same, and besides, it's all so dull." That this remark need not be true was well demon- strated last night by the Baroque Trio. In little over an hour, including intermission, the group, consisting of Nelson Hauenstein, flute, Flor- ian Mueller, oboe, and Marilyn Mason at the harpsichord, as- sisted by Clyde Thompson on double bass, played works of com- posers of several countries whose careers ranged over the course of about a hundred years. The pro- gram was well-balanced between two trio sonatas and two solo sonatas (with harpsichord), pre- faced by three short "symphonies" by Purcell. From the first slow Purcell C Tragic Anniversary movement to the final Telemann Allegro, the Baroque Trio proved itself well able to give these seven- teenth and eighteenth century works the careful playing they deserve. Not only intonation, but also tempo, phrasing, and tone came out admirably as the group presented a combination of virtu- osity and sensitivity to detail which made the baroque music sparkle with a vivacity that belied its age. * * * FOLLOWING the opening Pur- cell work, Mr. Mueller took the stage to present Loeillet's B-fiat Obie and Harpsichord Sonata, and was able to use both technique and tone to great advantage toward a unified performance. When the group reassembled for the Jom- FIDEL CASTRO'S REGIME in Cuba yester- day began a week-long celebration of the eighth anniversary of his revolutionary move- ment which began in 1953 with the unsuccess- ful assault on the Moncada Army Barracks in Santiago. and came to a climax in 1959 with the fall of Batista. But yesterday's festivities seem to reflect less the revolutionary principles of the band of young people who hurled themselves against the dictatorship in the name of freedom and justice than the more recently found devotion of the Cuban revolutionary state to Marxist doctrine and to the Communist world. Con-Con CON-CON PRIMARY VOTING reflected, as had been predicted, the apathy that has killed the convention in the past. Twice before voters have been given an opportunity to approve the convention and both times the attempt failed. The 1958 bal- loting--in which two-fifths of those voting did not even vote on that question-underlined the apathy and lack of information of Michi- gan voters. THEN POLITICALLY AWARE citizens' groups organized to obtain support for con-con. Their enthusiasm and efforts paid off. But now the enthusiasm has died down. The goal seems accomplished to many. Such is not the case-for delegate selection is as important as approving the convention itself. Citizens will soon have an opportunity to finally select the delegates who will attempt to make the changes so urgently needed in Michigan's outmoded constitution. If the turn- out for that election is as poor as Tuesday's, the result will be a con-con dominated by mobilized groups and a document which will reflect their narrow opinions and provide a. strait jacket for Michigan government for a long time to come. As Fidel Castro celebrates his revolutionary anniversary, most of his old companions are in prison or in exile. Some of them have lost their lives before his execution squads. The freedom promised by him when he led the nation in the fight against the Batista dic- tatorship was never allowed to grace the land of Cuba. ELECTIONS have been spurned. The young and the old are indoctrinated to serve as spies of the regime and to denounce their neighbors. A Communist-oriented official poli- tical party is being organized to bolster the government apparatus on the grass-roots level.j Castro himself, once a free spirit, has become a gramaphone record of Marxist texts. Yuri Gagarin was flown in to the celebration less because he is the world's first cosmonaut than because he is a Soviet cosmonaut. To the outside world, and to the thousands of Cubans inside and outside the Castro pri- sons, the 26th of July of this year was a date of sadness and meditation. Fidel Castro's great illusion has come to an end and Cuba's his- tory, tortured by a succession of dictatorships, has again gone full circle. IN THE NAME of the illusion of social justice the Cubans have been made to pay the awful price of the police state. But, as history goes, the Cuban experiment may have not been altogether in vain. It has alerted the free men of the Americas to the urgent need for building social justice before its call is dis- torted and perverted by a Communist seizure. Ironical as it may be, the statesmen who will meet in Uruguay next month to launch the "Alliance for Progress" will be taking up the challenge hurled by Castro: can a free society provide progress, prosperity and justice? If Castro finds time for meditation this week, he may care to remember history. And it is perhaps symbolic that, as one day follows another, July 27-today-is the 9th of Ther- midor of the French Revolution, the day Robespierre was overthrown. -NEW YORK TIMES IN BERLIN: Allies' Support Needed To Convince Khrushchev meli Trio Sonata in D, the con- trast in sound between the one solo instrument and the combined sound of all four players made one realize that a complete orchestra is not needed for a full sound; the combination of rich harpsichord chords and the interplay of the two solo instruments, with the bass providing added support, can sound as full, in proportion, as the Philadelphia strings. After the intermission, the Bardque Trio moved on td Ger- man music: the sixth Bach Flute and Harpsichord Sonata followed by Telemann's D Minor Trio Sonata. With an impeccably steady tempo (so vital in Bach), a fine tone and amazing breath con- trol, Mr. Hauenstein at least equalled Mr. Mueller's Loeillet. Finally, the audience was treated darker in mood, and full of inter- esting alternation of themes and interweaving of flute and oboe. Alas, the concert was only too short, and the audience a bit too small. Let it be hereby recom- mended that the Baroque Trio increase its summer, not to speak of fall, concert schedule to at least that of the Stanley Quartet; it's worth it. -Mark Slobin In filtration "IF THE Communists had been foolish enough to try to take Cuba by military force, they would have failed miserably because we would have moved in with every- thing we had. Yet, through in- direct aggression, infiltration and subversion, Havana today is as Communist - dominated and con- trolled as Mosco wand Peiping. There's no question that we are a prime target. We are today the only roadblock in the ever-in- creasing tempo of their drive for world domination. They have sleepers in every nook and cranny of this country and they have had in all uncommitted and neutral countries of the world - sleepers who are ready and willing to act when the Communist timetable requires their special skills. -Rep. Gordon Gordon H. Scherer the movie was given some Englsh subtitles and exported, thereby taking advantage of her well- deserved reputation. Her reputation does not suffer in "Stella," but the performance does not in any way exhibit any diversity of character portrayal. It's a strange feeling to sit and watch many of the same old faces from "Sunday" parade through "Stella," with only minor varia- tions in their roles, if any. For instance, the chief bouzoukia player in both movies is the same, the hero is the same, one of the prostitutes from "Sunday" is in "Stella," (although not in the same role) and a few of Ilia's older ad- mirers are around (this time as Stella's admirers). THE PLOT is wound around Stella's passion for independence: though she will have an affair with any man who pleases her, she refuses to surrender herself in marriage into any sort of bond- age to any other person. For this reason, whenever she senses her current lover becoming "serious," she breaks off the affair. For this honesty in not wanting to toy with the affections of those for whom she feels affection, she acquires the reputation of being cold and heartless. At the onset, she is involved in an affair with a gentle man, Aleko, who comes from an upper-middle-class fam- ily, and who is completely smitten. In fact, when she expresses a desire for a piano to make her nightclub act more "artistic," her wish becomes his command. But when he expresses a desire to marry her, in exchange for the piano, she gives him the sack - gently, of course, for she has no desire to hurt him. She patiently explains her aversion to marriage "slavery" - and assures him that there is no one else. THERE REALLY IS no one else at 'that moment, but soon The One True Love comes on the scene, and as soon as Aleko sen- ses what is going on, he goes into a physical decline. His family is aware of his involvement, and put the blame for his difficulties on Stella. Meanwhile, back at the cabaret, Milto (that's his name) and Stella are having the affair of the eon. It's a real grand passion, and Milto decides to capitalize on it. So he gives Stella an ultimatum-marry him or never see him again. Much against her instincts, Stella con- sents. This occurs after Aleko has been killed by a car, waiting un- der her window to get another glimpse of her. So she not only has gnawing doubts about the ad- visability of marriage, she is also tormented by guilt feelings for Aleko's death. THE DENOUEMENT is rather fitting, in a way, but don't go looking for a happy ending. The characters are fairly stock, but the marvelous bouzoukia music and the intriguing dances- not to mention the melliflous lan- guage - are most pleasant. --Selma Sawaya.

HIGHTOWER Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON - United States allies in NATO have respond- ed favorably to President John F. Kennedy's call for a boost in armed forces to stand off Soviet hreats against West Berlin, United States officials reported yesterday. Whether Allied governments in the North Atlantic Treaty Organ- ization will now follow through with new commitments of money and manpower to pick up their share of the burden which Ken- nedy prescribed for all is still un- certain. Some Western European leaders are beginning to talk about increasing military spending and stepping up draft calls, it was said. But it is by no means clear that Kennedy will succeed in achiev- ing his announced Allied objective of urgently building up NATO's conventional military forces to the basic, ground army goal of 30 divisions set several years ago. * * * KENNEDY put his leadership of the Western powers to its first major test when he proclaimed last night that "a first need" of the preparations to deal with Com- munist power is to speed progress toward the NATO military goals. The danger is that Kennedy will get mainly lip service from Allied governments. Such a reaction would be interpreted by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to mean that other countries of the alliance were indifferent and apa- thetic to the United States call for firmness in West Berlin. That would mean Khrushchev consid- ered the alliance split in fact, regardless of what its leaders were saying in public statements. * * * THE FAVORABLE REACTION so far reported from Allied govern- ments is indecisive. But consulta- tion started only last Friday and the lack of a definitive response therefore is not considered sur- prising. Secretary of State Dean Rusk Patriotism Defined last Friday outlined to representa- tives of Britain, France and West Germany the program which the President presented to the world Tuesday night. Kennedy urged development of a more powerful military force to deter Khrushchev from starting a war over Berlin and encourag- ing him instead to enter into ser- ious negotiations. The first round of talks was fol- lowed by broader consultations in Paris between the United States envoy, Thomas K. Finletter, and the other permanent representa- tives on the 15-nation council. Finletter opened his discussions Monday. -* * * TODAY Assistant Secretary of State Foy D. Kohler will take a diplomatic task force to Paris to lay the groundwork for a Western foreign ministers meeting in the French capital Aug. 5. Britain, France and West Ger- many hold the key to the pro- posed buildup. The British government, with a. brand new home front austerity program on its hands, is reported to have indicated willingness to make some increase in its NATO military forces in Germany but not to make any increase of a spectacular kind. The French, from the Kennedy administration's point of view, are still handicapped by their dilemma in North Africa. They cannot sub- stantially reinforce the NATO Western frontier without pulling troops from North Africa and they cannot do that on any extensive scale without an Algerian settle- ment. The French-Tunisian con- flict over Bizerte has further be- clouded prospects for French troop transfers. THE WEST GERMAN situation provides more hopeful prospects. West Germany has already con- tributed to NATO command seven divisions out of her rearmament goal of 12 divisions. United States officials argue the West Germans can greatly speed up formation of additional divisions so that by the end of the year West Germany may have 10 or 11 combat-ready divisions under NATO command. The NATO force in Europe now totals a little more than 22 com- INTERPRETING THE NEWS: U.S., Britain Prepare for Test By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst THE ANGLO-SAXON PEOPLES are about to take off some of their fat as they gird for another round in their age-long battle against tyranny. On Tuesday the British Government inform- ed its people of the need for new taxes and new austerity to preserve their economy in a world where economics has become an over- riding factor in a portentious conflict. On Tuesday President Kennedy warned the American people of new taxes and new de- mands upon their patriotism in preparing a more powerful deterrent against war and to promote an eventual peace through world stability. [1C t rt t l M THERE WERE SOME CLICHES and some oversights in the President's speech. At one point he failed to relate the hope for peace in Europe to the fact that there can be no peace as long as the rulers of one-third of the world's people retain the ability to decide for war without reference to the checks and balances of the public will. But he did relate both the military deterrent and positive, economic ap- proach to the whole world and not just to Berlin. There was a strong assertion of personal leadership for the nation and of national lead- ership for the world. Once more those who would break the peace, or infringe by force or threat the rights of others, were warned that the democracies have fought and will fight again for principles - principles which the enemy denies and there- fore fails to understand.
