NEW YORK-Sir John Gielgud
is, saying goodbye to some of his
most famous theatrical roles.,
The distinguished star puts it
thus:
"It isn't only that one gets
older, but each time it becomes
more difficult because the public
expects more of you. Nostalgia is
apt to make them believe you were
better some other time.";

OPERA':
Conductor,
s Critics Vie
VIENNA (P)-Conductor Herbert
von Karajan, a son of Salzburg,
defied critics with a firm decision
to open the new 10-million-dollar
Salzburg Festival House next July
26 with Richard Strauss' opera
Rosenkavalier.
The critics consider this heresy,
contending the occasion should be
observed with something by that
most famous son of Salzburg,
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The pro-Mozart faction even
stated, their case in a slogan:
Mozart with Karajan or Mozart
without Karajan.
Karajan explained a Mozart
opening would pose too many
problems. He called a news con-
ference this weekend and said:
"This (a Mozart opera) would
involve too great a risk. A failure
with the opening opera would cast
a shadow on the new house. Ros-
enkavalier is a relatively simple
production. Furthermore, it is very
popular.
"For some time I even thought:
of performing only concerts in the
new house during the 1960 festival
to allow for thorough planning for
the 1961 event.
"An opening night in 1960 with
Mozart's Don Giovanni-with its
13 changes of scene, can go well,
but again it can not."
Karajan is director of the fes-
tival as well as director of the
Vienna State Opera and other,
things, and enjoys the unofficial
title of "European generalmusik-
Olirektor."

ing lover of "Much Ado About
Nothing,"- when the comedy's hit
run ends next month at the Lunt-
Fontanne Theatre.
The limited engagement, in
which Margaret Leighton tops the
distaff players, has been gathering
critical cheers and loud audience
acclaim.
In shelving Benedick, Sir John
is quitting a third major Shakes-
pearean role. The others are Ham-
let and 'Richard II.
A big part of his 'reputation
stems from such characters, but
he isn't shutting the door entirely
on other dramatic classies.
Will Direct Play
"You need to come back to
them," he observes, "but , there
co'mes a point when you must try
something else to recapture en-
thusiasm."
Between now and the adieu to
"Ado," Sir John will be doubling
as director of "Five Finger Ex-.
ercise," a modern comedy which
he previously staged triumphantly
in London. It opens on Broadway
Dec. 2.
What comes next on the Gielgud
calendar is deliberately undeter-
mined.
"The past few years have been
filled with terrible demands,4 he
says' ticking off a succession of
Shakespearean calls at Europan
festivals, an arduous American
tour in his monologue, "The Ages
of Man," plus several directing
stints.
"Can't Risk Mistakes"
"Such things tie you up so far
ahead," Sir John continues.
"People never understand how it
binds you."
As he chats, two topics recur-
rently tinge the discourse: The
passing of time and the hazard
of error.
"When you are young you can
afford a mistake," he says, "and
people will forgive -you, but later
on 'you cannot take such risk.
n I don't like to see life passing
by. But decisions now are more
important than ever. Not only be-
cause of your own reputation, but
because the fortune of so many
others is involved.
Discounts Praise
He recognizes realistically his
place in the top flight of stars, but
tempers it with an apprentice's
unease.
"I've always discounted praise
and perhaps been too sensitive to
criticism. I cannot change.
"The theatre is always an agony
because it must be a series of
compromises between what one
hopes and what one can' do.
"But every once in a while there
comes a moment of glorious frui-
tion."
May Take New Role
Possibly, he concedes, he may
for a while concentrate more on
directing than acting. But he1
won't say "No" if a modern role
of proper challenge should appear.
"Perhaps I'm a bit fed up with
the classics. It would be nice to
show you can do other things.
Otherwise people think, you are
old-fashioned.-
Currently waiting for his nod.
of acceptance is a backlog of
demands for television appear-
ances, directing chores, and per-
forming parts. But Sir John is in
no hurry to decide.
"I want to be freelance for a
while and see how things come
along. "It's dull to have no plans,
but it is also exciting."

WEST
Marshall,
His Plan
Honored
LONDON 'AP) -Western Europe
paused yesterday for a grateful
assessment of the Marshall Plan,
which helped lift it from the ruins
of war.
The death of Gen. George C.
Marshall served as a reminder that
his aid program also helped to
stem the inroads of Communism in
the West. Tributes to Marshall
came from Western capitals, from
politicians and royalty.
In prosperous Western, Europe,
Marshall's multi-billion dollar pro-
gram was remembered for helping
revive production of such things as
Volkswagens in Western Germany,
coal and steel in France, and rail-
roads and a merchant marine in
Italy.
Loss Saddens
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, in
a message to President Dwight D.
Eisenhower, said West Germany's
people "are saddened by the loss
of a great man" and never will
forget Marshall "for one of the
greatest deeds of humane help and
brotherly love."
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
of Britain said Marshall will be
remembered for his work as
United States Chief of Staff- and
"for the Plan which bears his
name and which saved Western
Europe at a critical time."
In Paris, Marshal Alphonse Juin
of France said Marshall will be re-
membered as a. soldier and as
"author of the generous Plan
which was precious help to the
nations of Western Europe im-
poverished by the war."
Sped Rebuilding
Foreign Minister Jens Otto Krag
of Denmark called Marshall "The
man who bred the ideas which
sped up the economic rebuilding
of Europe."
The Austrian Chancellory said
the United States had lost a great
statesman and humanitarian.
Mayor Willy Brandt of Com-
munist encircled West Berlin said
Berlin "will honor in its memoryE
this great statesman whom it must
think, first of all, for its recon-;
struction."
Vice-Premier Hendrik Korthals
of the Netherlands said the Mar-
shall Plan "enabled us to recover
from the war in a decisive stagel

OTTAWA (R)-Hundreds of flint
fragments gathered in the Eastern {
Arctic this summer may mean a
major breakthrough in the story3
of prehistoric man in that area.
About 200 pounds of flints,t
ranging, down in size to pieces
smaller than a finer nail, were
collected by William E. Taylor of
Canada's National Museum.
They include whole or partial
skin-scrapers, incising tools and!
spear tips indicating an ancestral
link between the forerunners of
the present Eskimo - or Thule
culture - and the Eastern Arctic,
dwellers of 20,000 B.C. to 10,000
B.C.
This clashes with a theory that
the prehistoric or pre-dorset cul-:
ture was of Indian origin.
Taylor spent his ninth straight
summer in the Eastern Arct'., For
seven weeks he worked on rain-
swept Mansell Island, at the
mouth of Hudson Bay just off
Ungava.
He found 14 sites in all, includ-
ing five of the ancient pre-dorsetj
culture succeeded by the Dorsetf
about 1,000 B.C. and which in
turn gave way about 1.200 A.D.'
to the Thine peoples. One site was
6,000 feet long. Another stretched
3,000 feet. Most of the flints were
plucked from the surface.
Taylor believes the present Eski-
mo culture began. moving out of
Southern Alaska abouti900u AD.
and succeeded the Dorset in East-
ern Canada and Greenland by 400
years later. -~
He views the Dorset culture as
a people with Eskimo characteris-t
ticc physically, a similar language b
and living mainly by hunting sea s
creatures. They had no dogs.

medicine. He was named as co-recipient of this year's award for

Discoveries in ered
Honored by Nobel Prize.

By ALTON BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Writer
NW YORK - This year's No-
bel Prize, honors exciting discov-
eries about a prime wonder and
mystery of life.
This mystery is heredity, which
controls much of our destiny.
The experiments by Dr. Arthur
Kornberg and Dr. Severo Ochoa
clarify its workings, and hold vast
portents for the future.
In time, it may become possible
to alter human or animal heredity
This could mean longer life for'
humans, freedom from presently
inherited diseases or weaknesses,
perhaps control over 'cancers and
the breeding of animals and plants'
which are' far more efficient pro-
ducers of food.
Made Genes
One big step is that Kornberg
and associates in their laboratory
have apparently manufactured
genes, the basic controlling units
of heredity.
In simplest outline, this is the
story:
It is heredity which determines
whether your child will have blue
eyes or brown, inherit certain dis-
eases or the boon of sound health,
how tall he can grow and much
about his nature.

All of, this'is determined by
chromosomes and genes in the liv-
ing cells which started this new'
life-in the mother's egg cell and'
the father's sperm cell.a
Chromosomes are. thread - like,
bodies, in the nucleus of each cell,

Call New Proposal
Totally Unacceptabl
WASHINGOFN (P) - Preside
David J. McDonald of the Unit
Steelworkers said last night t
steel companies have made
"totally unacceptable" count
proposal to the union's offer f
settlement of the 95-day ste
strike.
Obviously angry, McDonald l
the meeting after more than t
hours to tell assembled report
that no further negotiating me
ings were scheduled.
The union chief said the i
dustry's counter-proposal still c:
tains what he called the coi
panies' "infamous demands" i
changes in the work rules at t
steel mills. y,
His face was-grim and his a
swers to questions were she
after a session in a WashingtA
hotel suite with manageinet
spokesmen who had deliberat
the union's proposal with top co
pany executives' in New York er
ier in the day.
'Uncceptable'
"They made a proposition to'
which was totally unacceptable
McDonald said.
Asked whether the new offs
which he did not describe, w
an improvement over the coin
panies' initial settlement propos
made recently in Pittsburgh, M
Donald said:
"No, it was worse."
The industry's chief negotiatc
R. Conrad Cooper, told reporte
the companies rejected a. con
promise proposal made by the, u
ion Friday- because it still co
tained what he termed highly i
flationary cost increases. Also, l
said, it provided no solution to t
problem of obstacles to cost-r
duction and greater efficiency
the steel plants - the work ri
matter.
Submit Substitute
Cooper said that as a count
proposal the industry submitt
a three-year agreement. He sa
this called- for improvements
pensions, insurance and suppl
mental unemploymnent benefits:
the first year of the pact and wa
increases in each of the next t
years.
The industry spokesman saidt
companies had given the. uni"
proposal careful analysis. Thou
-it had been described as being
scaled-down" demand, he said,t
companies found that its effect .9
the industry's payroll was sul
stantially understated.
Union sources had dlescibed tl
steelworker proposal as a 21-e:
hourly, two-year pact. In the 1016
year there would have been on
pension, insurance and oth
fringe benefit improvements, at
in the second year a-wage incres
bringing the over-all payroll co
increase to 21. cents.
Cost Higher
Cooper said the industry's anal
sis indicated that the employme
cost per man would be increase
nearly 20 cents a hour each ye
-not over two years.
The result, he said; was that tl
union was maintaining the "san
substantial demands for inflatio
ary cost increases."
Cooper estimated the lidust:
counter - proposal, if, accep'
would give steelworkers gains
approximately 10 cents an ho
per year.
The industry negotiator co
ceded that the union and ma
agement negotiators t diffee
cost estimates ontheir proposal

He said the difference is thatti
union counts the gain to the worl
er while the industry considers til
ultimate increase in total payrc
cost Including such extra expens
as higher Social Security tax am
the unemployment taxes.
Cooper estimated that the ur
ion's last demand calls for aboi
twice as much as the industry
prepared to give.

FDR TO CHAMBERLAIN:
Find Papers on Famous Men

NEW HAVEN. Conn. (R)-Per-
sonal papers of the late Henry L.
Stimson, covering the years 1933
to 1950, are now unlocked for the
benefit of scholars. They contain
some revealing observations on
leading world figures, from Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt to Neville Cham-
berlain.
Stimson, who died in 1950, was
a leading cabinet member under
four American Presidents.
Until now, only those of his
papers dated prior to March 4,
1933, when Franklin Roosevelt
took office as President, have been
available to scholars.
Now Opened
But James T. Babb, Yale Uni-
versity librarian, announced Oct.
10 that the Stimson papers during
the turbulent 1933-1950 period
have been opened for the first
Mime.
He said they had been withheld

'until now to comply with the
'wishes of Stimson's literary trus-
'tees that material on the 1933-
'1950 period not be made public
'while so many 'individuals inti-
'mately concerned with the Roose-
'velt Administration still were ac-
'tive in public life.
The papers had been presented
'to Yale in accordance with Stim-
'son's wishes. Stimson graduated
from Yale in 1888.
' A diary entry on April 6, 1937,
'about Roosevelt, said: "I never
'expected to live to see a President
'of the United States try to pack
the Supreme Court ..."
-iDraws Comment,
On April 12, 1937, describing a.
'private dinner with Roosevelt,
Stimson wrote that thePresident's
'conduct had the "skeleton of dic'-
'tatorship."
The reference to "packing" the
'Supreme Court came after Roose-

welt sought to add six new judges,
In a nattempt to give the Court a
'makeup that would uphold New
Deal legislation.
Some other Stimson entries:.
July 20, 1938, on Neville Cham-
'berlain: "I was astonished when I'
'afterward learned that he so easily
'surrendered . .. I never dreamed
'that a British Prime Minister'
'would take such a dramatic ges-
ture and method of making a sur-
'render.
July 1938, on Anthony Eden:
"Eden made a pleasant and agree-
'able impression on me, but not a
'very forceful impression."
Stimson, in addition to his cabi-
net posts under Hoover and Roose-
velt, served as Secretary 1of War
under William Howard Taft and
for five months under the admin-
istration of Harry S. Truman. He
retired in 1945.

'containing thousands of genes,
the individual units" of heredity.
Basically Two
A few years ago scientists de-
termined that all this marvelous
machinery stemmed- from two
basic chemicals or acids of life,
nicknamed DNA (desoxyribonu-
cleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic
acid).
DNA is the main or perhaps
only material of human genes.
By one present theory, DNA
directs the synthesis or building
up of RNA. In turn, RNA governs
the synthesis of proteins which
perform the work of the cell and
body.
DNA is known to consist of two
chains made of thousands of
atoms, which are twisted about
each other. In essence, it is simple,
made of sugar, phorphoric acid and
four basic chemicals.

Many Forms
But DNA can exist in many
thousands of forms, depending up-
on the amounts of relationships
or patterns of1 these basic ma-
terials. That is why genes can
vary, and can direct different types
of operations.
In the latest great forward step,
Kornberg and Ochoa have suc-
ceeded in making synthetic DNA
and RNA.
They started with. the basic ma-,
terials, and added an enzyme
which performed the miracle of
putting them in the proper order
and number.
