SATUR~DAY,

U Deans Rate
'Henry V' Tops
In Cinema Art
New High in Filming
Of Shakespeare Cited
"Henry V" rates as a top mo-
tion picture from dramatic, ar-
tistic and musical standpoints,
three University deans agreed yes-
terday in comments on the techni-
color film to be presented here
Wednesday by the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs.
"As the best motion picture of
a Shakespearean play ever pro-
duced, 'Henry V' has set the
standard for all future Shakes-
pearean production," Dean of
Students Erich A. Walter declared.
Attesting to the film's "superior
artistic quality," Dean Wells I.
Bennett, of the architecture
school, said that the scenes were
photographed "with a degree of
finesse not yet to come out of Hol-
lywood." He found particularly
thrilling the method by which the
audience was brought. into the
Globe Theatre in the opening
scene.
From the musical viewpoint,
Dean Earl V. Moore, of the music
school, commented that the score
was as outstanding as the dra-
matic work and the diction of the
performers. Written by one of the
most distinguished of contempo-
rary English composers, William
Walton, the score is well-integrat-
ed with the dramatic action and
yet is a fine piece of music on its
own, Dean Moore declared.
Tickets for the movie, which
will be shown at 3:15 and 8 p.m.
Wednesday at Hill Auditorium, are
being sold at $.90 and $1.20 for
the matinee, and at, $1.20 and
$1.80 for the evening performance.
The Hill Auditorium Box Office is
open for sales from 10 a.m. to 1
p.m. and from 2 to 5 p.m.

lined, copies are presented to
squad leaders. They are in charge
of from eight to 10 men apiece,
it's their job to figure out how
t get their men to the next for-
mation with a minimum of dif-
ficulty.I
After Prof. Revelli has spent
several hours selecting musical
numbers to fit the formations, the
staff at the music library gets
busy ferreting out enough copies
for the 131 members of the band.
California Call
Sometimes efforts to secure a
number are fruitless, as was the
case last week, when a long-dis-
tance phone call to California
brought only the information that
"San Francisco" was no longer
published.
After the preliminaries have
been completed, the band begins
its Monday through Friday re-
hearsals, plus a Saturday morn-
ing pre-game session.
The first rehearsals are held in
Harris Hall's auditorium. Then
the band moves to the field, where
many hours are spent polishing
the formations and coordinating
them with the script, which is
read by John Carroll of the Uni-
versity Broadcasting Service.

tary of Commerce Harriman's

By J. M. ROBERTS, JR.
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
Repeated reports from the Ori-
ent indicate strongly that the
United States, preoccupied with
its Russian conflict and frequent-
ly inept at dealing with less high-
ly developed peoples, is losing its
reputation.
Take Indonesia for instance.
There the early Dutch pursued
one of the most shortsighted co-
lonial policies on record, exploit-
ing the people virtually to the
point of slavery and giving practi-
cally nothing in return for the re-
sources shipped away. For the last
century they have been improv-
ing but very slowly.
Before the war there was a scat-
tering of Communist activity.
During the war there was native
collaboration with the Japanese.
Since then they have been fighting
for independence.
Whatever the merits of the dis-
pute, the Indonesians undoubted-
ly expected at least moral support
from a United States which for so

many years has represented the
embodiment of liberty.
Instead, this is what the Indo-
nesians think they have learned,
according to a letter from an
American observer who has spent
the last several years in the Orient
and recently left Indonesia:
"The U. S. is interested primar-
ily in maintaining the status quo
ante bellum. Revolutionaries are
to be treated firmly and existing
governments given all possible aid
in a quiet manner. This is nothing
new. But what is new is the feel-
ing, echoed by several nationalities
in this part of the world, that Rus-
sia offers nothing better.
"The Indonesians look neither
to Russia nor America for help,
feeling that those countries are
engaged in a straight game of
power politics.
The British, on the other hand,
have been quietly trying for sev-
eral years to settle the situation
like they did the one in India, and
have thus retained good will in
Indonesia.
