LEGEND OF JOHN HENRY:
Student Ballet To Be Shown

Views Told

ANTI-McCARTHY:e
Indiana Green Feathers

An allegory of man versus ma-
chine, the modern dance com-
position "The Legend of John
Henry" will be performed on "Stu-
dio Sampler" at 7:30 p.m. today
over WPAG-TV, Channel 20.
Adapted from the Southern le-
gend, the program will describe
the life and death of John Henry,
the equivalent of the North's Paul
Bunyan.
HENRY, according to the story,
was a worker who could drill a
tunnel faster than any man alive.
When a steam engine was invent-
ed which could drill faster than a
man, Henry's boss bet another
boss that Henry could work fas-
ter than a machine.
The stout-hearted worker rae-
ed the machine to get his work
done, but overstrained his heart
winning over' the machine. He
returned to his home, where he
died.
According to Prof. Edward Sta-
sheff of the speech department
who will direct the performance,
the television program will mark
the first time that an original
dance composition by a student
choreographer and composer has
been performed here.
DONALD HARRIS, Grad., com-
posed the music while choreo-
graphy for the production was
done by Robin Squier, '54.
Told only in dance and music,
the modern dance performance
will be kineoscoped for use in
different classes later in the se-
mester. This is done only with
the major programs produced

SEARCHING for a reason for
this increase, he says, people have
looked to smoking.
Dr. Robert Berry of the Medi-
cal School feels that statistical
analysis interpreted in this way
indicates "there may be a-great-
er than coincidental relationship
between heavy smoking and can-r
cer of the lungs."
Researchers are extracting sub-
stances from cigarette smoke and
testing to see if they produce can-
cerous growths in experimental
animals. Dr. Berry pointed out
that while there has been a rise in
lung cancer there are things other
than smoking to be considered.
Other sources of contamination
such as industrial wastes and gaso-
line exhaust have been suggested
as possible causes for increase in
cancer of the lungs.
* * *
THE AMERICAN Cancer Soci-
ety summarized a report by lead-
ing researchers on the controver-
sial question. "Evidence to date
justifies the suspicion that cig-
arette smoking does, to a degree
as yet undetermined, increase the
likelihood of developing cancer of
the lung," the summary said.
Dr. Charles S. Cameron, medical
and scientific director of the so-
ciety, in view of the pronounce-
ment, advised cigarette smokers
not to smoke if they were young
non-smokers or had not seriously
acquired the habit.
Dr. Cameron stressed that there
is no conclusive evidence against
either cigarette smoke or smoggy

Students Used
To Determine
Harvard Reds
A Harvard alumnus has admit-
ted that he has"scouts" among the
Harvard students and faculty who
are helping him ferret out Com-
munists, according to the Harvard
Crimson.
The Harvard student news-
paper reported that Kenneth
Robertson, University alumnus
and Boston investment broker,
is making use of students and
faculty members in his attacks
on Harvard.
The self-appointed investigator
was quoted by the paper as say-
ing, "In fighting Communism, we
have got to adopt their tactics."
Robertson named sophomore Quin-
lan Shea as one of his look-outs
but refused to name any other per-
sons who are working with him,
The Crimson noted that Shea
had organized a "New Conserva-
tive" club, whose purpose "may be
to spy on leftist students and fac-
ulty members."
Although Shea denied that the
group would be a front for spy-
ing, Robertson, a good friend of
Shea, asserted he wouldn't be
at all surprised if Shea tried to
put my ideas into practice," said
the paper.
A long-time critic of Harvard
University, Robertson announced
he wanted to start a Harvard group
similar to the pro-McCarthy Stu-
dents for America, an open advo-
cate of spying, commented the

A mountainous country, the land lin, '55, and Mort Cox, '56
is inhabited by powerful and hos-
tile tribes whose way of living be-
trays a very old civilization, ac-
cording to Prof. Fakhry. The Turks
were not able to reach these moun-
tains or subdue the tribes, Fak-
hry explained.
Scholars believe the area is a
very important new field for
archaelolgists because it is the
site of a caravan route between
the Far East and the Mediter-#IT
ranean used thousands of years
before Christ. This route served
as an exchange of civilization as
well as a trade channel.
Prof. Fahkry, who has spent 14
years excavating oases in Egyp-
tian desert, is particularly inter-
ested in this area because it for-
merly provided a refuge for perse-
cuted Christians.
Recently the archaeologist fin-

vating the pyramid of Snefru
which led to the discovery of sev-
eral new monuments.
