FILMS 'A Thousand C~o~'ZayFilm- China Purge Hints Worldwide Red Split By MALINDA BERRY It would be impossible not to enjoy "A Thousand Clowns." Item 1: Murray Burns, blithe spirit extraordinaire, flying kites from the roof of his New York apartment, glorying in living over an abandoned Chinese restaurant, playing John Philip Sousa records on an old gramaphone, collecting eagles. Item 2: Nick Burns, 12 year old nephew who lives with Mur- ray. Nick has been staying with Murray since his mother left him there to get a pack of filter-tip- ped cigarettes six years ago. He's a very bright, attractive kid who does a spectacular imitation of Peter Lorre. Item 3: Two social workers, who invade from the Child Welfare Board to snatch Nick from this "unhealthful environment," are properly destroyed in one inter- view with Murray. Five months before the snake (craftily disguised as a social worker) enters the garden, Mur- ray had been sitting on the sub- way going to work just like every- one else in the real world. Then, he discovered that horrible truth that comes upon most of us: work isn't fun and it keeps you from doing what you really want to do.. So, he chucked the whole bag and took up collecting eagles. Jason Robards does a beauti- ful job of making Murray-the B erkeley Kills New Constitution Collegiate Press Service7 BERKELEY, Calif. - Berkeley students lost a chance last week to' make more academic history by' solidly defeating a proposal freeing student government of ad- niinistrative control. Killed, in the largest student vote turnout ever, was a proposal to substitute for the present con- stitution of the Associated Stu- dents of the University of Califor- nia, an autonomous student gov- ernmnent not responsible to the Academic Senate or the chancel- lor. The proposed constitution was written byrcampus groups who felt it would remedy what they, call "sandbox" student government, one without any real power, New Constitution Illegal Chancellor Roger Heyns served warning long before voting day that if the new constitution was ratified it could not go into effect because it was illegal. Chancellor Heyns said passage of the new constitution would mean nonexistence of student gov- ernment at Berkeley, and the re- sponsibility of all groups being run by the ASUC would be taken over by his office. Attempts to get the document declared constitutional would un- doubtedly have touched off an- other furor. Statewide university FourthDraft Deferment Test Slated WASHINGTON ) (M Selective Service headquarters tnnounced yesterday that the foarth and fin- al test in the current series of college qualification exams for draft deferment guidance will be given June 24.

Proponents of the constitution argued that an autonomous stu- dent government, unlike the pres- ent ASUC, would give students a "preponderant voice in decisions on rules governing student activi- ties." Chancellor Has Authority The administration argued that ultimate authority must remain with the chancellor or "the chain of responsibilities in the complex statewide university system will break down.'' Graduate students, many of whom had had a heavy voice in drawing up the constitution, favor- ed the proposal by about 1000 votes. Undergraduates defeated it by about 2000 votes. To be rati- fied, the constitution needed a two-thirds undergraduate major- ity. More than 11,000 of Berke- ley's 27,500 students voted. The new constitution grew out of a Constitutional Convention held last December which was one result of the Free Speech Move- ment protest in the fall and win- ter of 1964-65. Liberals Pass Constitution At the convention, liberal grad- uate and undergraduate spokes- men held the floor and succeeded in passing their constitution trans- ferring government control to the students. Observers said that opposition to the proposed constitution cen- tered on the way the document was prepared and could not be construed to be a vote in favor of the present ASUC setup. Editorially, the Daily Californ- ian commented "eventually the student government as constituted in its present form must be aband- oned. The responsibility of caring for activities will never make for an ASUC that is concerned with education and the student's rela- tion to the community." fantasy-believable. You can't help but love him and be deeply en- vious of him. Almost everyone in their secret heart has wanted to stand on the street and "holler" at the passing city. Murray stands on Park Avenue at dawn and shouts, "All right, I want all you rich people down on the volleyball courts by 7 a.m." Murray has the courage to "goose the world" and enjoy the reaction. The Child Welfare Board rules that Murray is an unfit guardian for Nick and he has three days in which to prove that he .can be responsible. (It sounds really sac- chrine summarized like this; but part of the charm o fthe movie is that it has grace enough to real- ize it. Murray asks the social worker, "Say, who writes your material, Charles Dickens?") So, then the question becomes --will Murray compromise and get a job, buy a suit, and throw the junk out of the apartment in or- der to qualify as "responsible" enough to keep Nick? After see- ing that he does get a job, the question becomes-is it a compro- mise? Has he surrendered? Or, has he really awakened from a dream? As ablithe spirit, beautiful as he is in that one role, Murray is totally self-centered. He is only being one clown out of the thou- sand that lie dormant in him. The best possible Murray Burns will be awake enough to realize that giving up part of your free- dom to care about someone else frees the other 999. An AP News Analysis A widespread purge in the Chi- nese Communist party has taken on such strong anti-Soviet over- tones that it suggests the Peking leaders want a permanent division of world Communism and a sep- arate world revolutionary move- ment headed by the Chinese. Peking's condemnations of the Soviet party are rising in violence and vitriol. Some of this seems connected with the situation in Viet Nam. By the implication, the Soviets are accused of scheming for some approach to peace there, and Peking appears to want no peace short of total humiliation of the United States. The anti-Soviet tone of propa- ganda inside China became more pronounced during the visit of leaders of Albania's Communist party, Peking's small but noisily anti-Moscow ally in Europe. Violent Change Necessary A persistent theme in the cur- rent Chinese pinpointing of ene- mies within the party concgrns those who have been tainted by the notion that "peaceful evolu- tion" to proletarian dictatorship is possible anywhere in the world. Peking theorists insist there can be no change except violent change. In singling outTeng To, former editor of the party paper People's Daily, the military laber Liberation Army Daily accused him of want- ing the Chinese party leadership to "step down as soon as possi- ble." "Is there any difference between Teng To's antiparty and anti-So- cialist clamor and the Khrush- chev modern revisionists' slanders and attacks on us?" it asked. "Khrushchev modern revision- ists" is a catchall Chinese term for the Soviet leadership. The paper added ominously: "We will certainly not let you go, nor will we let go all the freaks and monsters." The terms "freaks and mon- sters" often are applied to Soviet leaders. Intellectuals Accused Intellectual leaders in China have been accused of joining "the anti-Chinese chorus of imperial- ists, modern revisionists and reac- tionaries." To hear the propa- ganda tell it, the Chinese party is laced with opportunists cooking up plots and-in what Peking has Pic- tured as the Soviet style--making "frenzied attacks on socialism." The Russians are being accused of all manner of "despicable acts" in "collusion with the Indian re- actionaries against China." They are being called "accomplices of U.S. imperialism." The Chinese army's general po- litical department has taken the lead. Its press organs vow "to smash the criminal plots of the bourgeoisie against the party and socialism." The campaign accuses DIAL 662-6264 AT 1-3:35-6:15 & 9:00 Is your world full of finks and Wouldn't you love to put them all down? Meet your new leader, Daisy Clover. antiparty elements of trying to infect Chinese youth, and by im- plication, of turning Chinese youth toward the road of Soviet revisionism. Youth Responsible "Today's youth," said People's Daily recently, "are the generation of successors to our great revolu- tionary cause. The great, glorious and arduous historical tasks of continuing to oppose imperialism, all reactionaries and modern re- visionism, and to carry the So- cialist revolution on to the end falls on the shoulders of the younger generation." Youth must "carry on the rev- olution forever without fear of its degeneration." This isthe line of an aging Po-' litburo whose numbers may be lessened at any time by deaths. It seems to wantdinsurance that out- side ideas, and particularly Soviet ideas, will be kept out of the Chi- nese party. If- The visit of the Albanian party delegation to Peking seemed to be a signal for the most bitter at- tacks on Moscow. The top leaders of the Chinese party, including Liu Shao-chi, chairman of the govern- ment; Premier Chou En-lai and Teng Hsiao-ping, the partyts gen- eral secretary, have joined in these attacks. The Albanians, who willingly say whatever the Chinese leader want them to 'say, seem to be "pushing the idea that the Soviet-Chinese split was unbridgeable and1 that the time was near when the sep- aration should be recognfzed as permanent. 4 4 Read Daily Classifieds III - Ii TONIGHT Dinner-Film Series 6:30 P.M.
