She also accused Cavanagh of
being "a part-time Mayor, more
interested in building his national
image than in Detroit's problems."
Cavanagh says he is attacking
the causes of crime-largely with
federal money-and that it is slow
work.
The Detroit branch of the Na-
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,.the
city's largest Negro organization,
announced Thursday that it was
lining up on Cavanagh's side.
A spokesman for the NAACP
charged that backers of the recall
movement are "racially and po-
litically motivated."

The movie starts out with a long
shot of a purplish, misty hill. Then
another, and another, until the
hills break to show a breathtaking
view of the Austrian Alps. Breath-
taking view follows breathtaking
view, until you begin to wonder
when it is all going to end. The
Alps are, after all, beautiful, and
it is pretty difficult to photograph
them badly. But a line must be
drawn.
Then, you see What it has all
been leading up to. Far in the dis-
tance, a small figure is running
madly up one of those purple,
misty hills, right into close-up
camera view. It is Julie Andrews,

Army Teaches Use of Drugs Producing
Psychosis as Possible Combat weapons
SKILLMAN, N.J. ()-The Army
is quietly teaching its Chemical
Corps officers how to use a power-
ful psychedelic drug called Agent
BZ as a possible combat weapon.
A copy of a lesson plan outlines
effects resulting from the chem-
ical ranging from giddiness to
hallucinations.
"Research to throw light upon
mental illness has brought as a
byproduct the discovery of syn-
thesis of a growing list of sub-
stances capable of producing
'model psychosis,'" the lesson plan
explains.
"These brief, controllable drug-
induced disturbances in mental
function are often profoundly dis-
organizing and, while they last,
would without doubt be severely
crippling to a military group in
which they might occur."
The plan discusses the use of
marijuana, mescaline, LSD or
lysergic acid dietheylamide and
Agent BZ as possible weapons.
Marijuana and mescaline are
ruled out by the lesson plan as
useful military weapons because
they require such large doses.
LSD is listed by the lesson plan
as having "great promise," but it
is BZ which is described as "our
standard incapacitating agent."
A Pentagon spokesman de-
scribed BZ as a "delayed acting,
temporarily incapacitating agent
producing debilitating physical
and mental effects."
Two researchers at the New Jer-
sey Neuro-Psychiatric Institute at
Skillman after seeing the symp-
toms listed in the Army document
that the substance probably is
related to belladonna, a plant ex-
tract which is one of the oldest
drugs used in war.
According to the lesson plan, is-
sued by the Army's Chemical Cen-
ter and School at Ft. McClellan,
Ala., the possible symptoms from
BZ include giddiness, disorienta-
tion, hallucination, drowsiness and
maniacal behavior.
The neuro-psychiatric center re-
searchers said that the substance
could be sprayed in combination
with a faintly oily base, and would
be absorbed almost immediatqly
through the skin.
DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN
cal). The title song, in fact-"The
Sound of Music."
It is hardly like the advertise-
ments you have seen in the papers
-no guitar, no picturesque drindl
dres, no joyous Von Trapp family
in the background-in fact, in her
funny-looking workdress she is
kind of a disappointment for the
Hollywood-schooled moviegoer.
You have to admit, though, she
sings beautifully-clearly, and-na-
turally, as though she were born
to it.
Meanwhile, back at the Abbey,
the nuns are wondering what they
should do about the problem-
novice "Maria" (Julia Andrews,
you surmise). It gets pretty
sacharrinc at this point, especially
when Mother Superior, played, or
rather, sung by Peggy Wood, ends
her musical observations with an
ultra-dramatic "How do you catch
a moonbeam in your hand?"
After Maria leaves her convent
to go and work as a governess for
the Von Trapp family to "find
herself," the movie does begin
to grow on you. It is still pretty
sugary at times, due to the black-
and-white character of the plot
and the incredibly inept leads-ins
to some of the songs. But you be-
gin to see definite salvageable
qualities.
The photography, for one thing,
is excellent.
Also, some of the acting is very
well-done. Christopher Plummer,
as the formidable Captain Von
T r a p p, underplays his role
smoothly, making his unfortunate
flawless nobility of character al-
most palatable. The other charac-
ters have less luck.
But the best part of the movie
ends up being the songs them-
selves, which are for the most part
done sensitively and imaginative-
ly. "Do-re-mi," the classic chil-
dren's song from this movie, is
made into a delightful visual joke,
with incredible skips in scenery
and costuming from verse to
verse,
It's not the most satisfying of
movies - no real depth, no real
direction. But for an evening of
very singable music (what the
movie is about, after all) it is not
bad at all.

The introductory comments of
the movie attempt to prepare the
viewer with the line that "King
Rat" at the Cinema II is a "story
of existence." But one can never
be adequately prepared to watch
a movie about a prison camp, es-
pecially such a good one.
But unlike other films on the
same subject ("Bridge on the
River Kwai," for example) the
plot does not concentrate on the
struggles between honorable Jap-
anese officers and equally digni-
fied American or British officers.
In "King Rat" the Japanese offi-
cers appear only twice, when they
are seeking the locations of radios
that are "forbidden under the
Geneva Convention." Maybe this
emphasis on a communication de-
vice is significant.
And the movie does not involve
any great plots for escape. Instead
the development of the story is
left to the interactions and actions
of the prison inmates themselves.
Although they are allies in the
war on the outside, these men are
fighting the war of survival inside
the prison gates. This war do'es
not show respect for rank or
courage, because only food and
medicine are the weapons which
win the battles of prison life.
Among these conditions the
hero-scale and human relation-
ships are changed.
The leader of this "war on pov-
erty" is King (George Segal)
whose tactics include employing
'yes-men' and breeding rats.
Because of his dealings he
comes in contact with two con-
trasting c h a r a c t e r s, Marlowe
(James Fox) and Grey (Tom
Courteney) Although his attempt
to buy Marlowe with money fails,
King develops a friendship with
him in the camp. But even Mar-
lowe, a good guy,' compromises
as does the top ranking officers
who follow the camp rule of the
"survival of the fittest." Only

Grey, who intends to be a career
man, keeps self-righteous in the
hope that his wife back home is
doing the same.
But the Japanese lost the war,
and with movie shows them sur-
rendering contrary to other ste-
reotyped plots. To these prisoners
the fact that "the war is over," is
too shocking. The inhumane ex-
istence is over, and they must

once again return to real life. The
old rules are taken up again while
the prison memories, and friend-
ships are considered best for-
gotten.
One cannot easily forget the
perceiving characterization of this
common theme. In "King Rat"
the story is subordinate to its
realistic depiction and excellent
acting.
