"Family Portrait," by Lenore Cof- fee and William Joyce Cowen, shows Jesus' family as an everyday family group. In a light and often humor- ous vein, it tears all legend and mys- tery from the family, presenting the action as befitting any time in his- tory or any location' This play features an unusually - large number of separate scenes, s which have been tied together with music arranged especially for "Family y Portrait" by Italo P. Frajola, '40SM. ) Prof. Valentine B. Windt, director 1. of Play Production, declares that New *- York audiences last spring, during "Family Portrait's" long and success- ful run there, were especially sur- - prised at not finding heavy religious ., drama in the play.

However, the, neu- tral state is under no obligation .to extend such permission, Professor Preuss observed. Norway was obligated to release the ship even if the Article 1had stipulat- ed "must" instead of^"may,"Profes- sor Preuss stated, for the United States made a reservation to Article 23 in ratifying the Convention. "The German Government-is not justified in contesting the action of the Nor-. wegian Government in construing strictly its neutral obligations toward the _United States," he declared.. Contrasting the Norwegian action with that of-Russia, Professor Preuss said, "Under the general rules of in- ternation law, Soviet Russia was un- der obligation to release the City .of Flint to its owners and to intern the German prize' crew when the City of Flint put in at Murmansk. Soviet, Russia not only conimitted a viola- tion of its international obligations in refusing to do so, but was undoubt- edly guilty of bad faith in refusing to permit an investigation of the sub- j'ect while the vessel was in port.d When the City of Flint, after leav- ing Murmansk, put in at Tromso, Norway, it was for lack of fuel ora provisions, one of the reasons forc which a' prize- crew may carry itsa prize into neutral waters.' Wheni the reason for its sojourn ceased, the Norwegian Government very properly1 demanded that it leave port. Professor Preuss noted that in al- lowing the German crew to navigate the City of Flint within Nprwegian territorial waters to Haugesund, the Norwegian Government was actually favoring Germany in its extension of the point of the law. It was ap- parent that the ship traveled Nor- wegian waters to keep from encoun- tering enemy vessels. However, when the City of Flint docked at Hauges- und for reasons not specified accord- ing to international law, the Norwe- gian Government-exercised its rights by releasing the vessel and intern- ing the German crew. Professor Preuss concluded, "It is clear, there- fore, that the' Norwegian Govern- ment,'acting in scrupulous regard as to neutral duties, has performed 'nol act about which Germany can right- fully complain."

Kent, Seminar Luncheon Approves Health Unit For Washtenaw Washtenaw County's ill-fated pub- lic health unit, approved by the Board of Supervisors and then killed in budget discussions, will be re-born in the future, a consensus of opin- ions of speakers at the Social Serv- ice Seminar luncheon yesterday showed. Dr. Nathan Sinai of the hygiene department initiated the discussion with a plea for introduction of the new system. Pointing out that 60 out of 83 Michigan counties have es- tablished the county units and that not one has given it up after estab- lishment, Dr. Sinai declared that standards in the field of public health should encourage adoption..
