LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
By DOROTHY MYERS
Daily City Editor
November 2 may have marked a minor, but
significant turning point in campaign tactics
of both parties during national elections.
On the Democratic side, Tuesday brought
sligit gains in Congress, but important gains
in governorships, where strong party organiza-
tilonal strength can be built effectively in the
next two years.
And on the Republican side, notable mud-
slingers like Meek of Illinois, Ives of New York,
Cordon of Oregon and Clardy of Michigan suf-
fered upset-defeats, while Case in New Jer-
sey won out even over the opposition of a,
large faction within his own party.
Important contradictions to this generaliza-
tion occured in Michigan, where auto industry
lags and cut-backs in defense contracts put
more than 10 per cent of the total labor force
out of work, and in Kentucky where the aging
Veep's personality still wins out over all op-
ponents.
Hopefully, however, the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration will take note of the fact that
it was just where Nixon took his "McCarthy-
in-a-white-shirt" campaign most often that
Republicans suffered major upsets.
Only when the GOP's old guard realizes the
ineffectiveness of the constant witch-hunt will
their pledges for fair campaigns have mean-
ing.
NOW IN CONTROL of both houses, Demo-
crats face the problem of putting two
major campaign pledges into effect.
One policy "crisis" may occur in farm
policy, where 90 per cent parity prices were
generally rejected by most Midwestern farm-
ers, and yet figured heavily in favor of
Humphrey's Minnesota victory and a few
other Democratic gains in farm states.
Thus Democrats face an inner split at a
time that they need to be most cohesive be-
cause' of their razor-slim margin of control.
Another pledge Democrats will have diffi-
culty delivering on is halting the recession
trends and greatly reducing unemployment.
With new automobile models already under-
way in Michigan, and contracts on St. Law-
rence Seaway construction ready, more jobs
will be available in the State.
But in New England manufacturing and
the employment picture have been suffering
setbacks for several years, and whether eith-
er party can work out a practical policy to
stop the recession is problematic.
Even if liberal Democrats agreed on some
specific economic policy to relieve the situa-
tion the traditionally very-conservative South-
ern Democrats who head important commit-
tees in both houses would call a halt to very
liberal economic policies before they even
reached the stage of a possible Presidential
veto.
The test of whether conservative and liberal
elements of the Democratic Party in Congress
can work in a unified manner, despite major
differences in almost every area of policy will
probably become evident shortly after discus-
sion begins on Eisenhower's budget policy.
At that time the Democrats will have a
chance to prove or disprove their thesis that
the Southern and Northern elements can work
in harmony on a national scale, and whether
they will be able to enter the 1956 campaign
on a strengthened re-unified basis.

Flu Study Response ...
DR. FRED DAVENPORT and
others join me in the opinion
that the student leaders of the
proposed control study of influenza
immunizations worked hard and
did a good job.
Also in view of the exacting spe-
cifications of the study, the stu-
dent response was commendably
cooperative, and intelligent.
It was a difficult pioneer pro-
ject for a university, it broke
ground for later trials, the lists
may later be useful, and many stu-
dents must have learned some-
thing of how medical methods are
evaluated.
It is hoped that in a later year,
2000 students may be able to make
the study where 100% of groups
participate.

First Amendment .. .
CHANDLER DAVIS based his re-
fusal to answer questions be-
fore the House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee on those sec-
tions of the First Amendment
which prohibit Congress from in-
terfering with freedom of speech
and assembly. The case against
the Committee has been outlined
by Federal Judge Edgerton in the
following excerpt from his dissent
in the Barsky case:
"That the Committee's investiga-
tion does in fact restrict speech is
too clear for dispute. The prosect-
tion does not deny it and the court
concedes it. The effect is not lim-
ited to the people whom the Com-
mittee stigmatizes or calls before
it, but extends to others who hold
similar views and to still others
who might be disposed to adopt
them. It is not prudent to hold
views or to join groups that the
Committee has condemned. People
have grown wary of expressing
any unorthodox opinions. No one
can measure the inroad the Com-
mittee has made on the American
sense of freedom to speak." (167
Fed. 2nd 241)
A number of cases, now pending,
will test this defense in the courts.
Corliss Lamont and Harvey O'Con-
nor relied on the First Amend-
mient before the McCarthy commit-
tee. Dr. Davis' case will be the
first clear test with respect to the
Un-American Activities Commit-
tee.
Dr. Davis could have protected
himself from any personal danger
by taking another course of ac-
tion. He has assumed the risk of
jail because he believes that the
First Amendment is the base of
all civil liberties, and that the pro-
cedures of the committee violate
this important Constitutional prin-
ciple. He has risked a good deal
to provide a test of the question.
A decision in his favor from the
courts would have a salutary ef-
fect on the freedom of all.
Many people believe that this is
the essential libertarian position;.
or feel, at least, that the Commit-
tee should be measured against the
First Amendment. While many of
us would not be able or willing to
pay so heavy a price for our be-
liefs as Dr. Davis has, we can give
meaning to them and help effect a
test of the Committee procedures
by supporting Dr. Davis in his
stand.

CURRENT MOVIES
New Sorority Under Way:
No Apathy' Here
EVERY NOW AND THEN a campus move-
ment arises to make us wonder what
causes the endless complaints about student
"apathy."
Such a movement, rising to its feet right
now, is a group of 30 undergraduate women
who've already this fall taken the first steps
toward starting a new sorority.
ALTHOUGH PANHELLENIC Association has
an obvious and almost desperate need for a
new chapter-shown by the pledging of only
412 of the 1,160 who rushed this fall-new sor-
orities aren't easy to start. As Dean of Wom-
en Deborah Bacon colorfully put it, "Panhel
can't wih it into existence and we can't spoon-
feed it-it has to come from the grass roots."
And this group has. Its members, who live
at widely scattered points on campus, h
begun weekly meetings at the 18 existing s
ority houses.
They know that the road won't be easy-t
they've got to show they can act as a clo
knit unit before they can even function a
local sorority next year. And they're aw
that next year's operations must be success
if they'reto gain affiliation with a national t
ganization. They know, too, that real estE
problems will make it extremely difficultJ
them to find a suitable house.
BUT STRONGER, in their eyes, than aI
of obstacles, is the urgent need for a new sor
ity on campus. They show every promise
meeting this need.

ROGUE COP:
At the Orpheum ...
THE HOLLY AND THE VY
"THE HOLLY and the Ivy," a
sensitive, if wordy import com-
bines all the best features of Eng-
lish movie-making. It is a drama
in the truest sense, but comedy
manages to inject itself before the
viewer becomes completely bogged
down in the hopelessness of it all.
THE PLOT MAINLY concerns
the three children of an Anglican
minister and their problems, all of
which culminate in their feeling
that because he is a parson, they
cannot confide in him. There is
Jenny (Celia Johnson) who, be-
cause she generally looks after her
father and the vicarage, feels that
she has no right to marry and
leave him; Margaret (Margaret
Leighton), who works for a fashion
magazine in London and is desper-
ately unhappy because of the death
of her lover and, subsequently her
child; and Michael (Denholm El-
liott) who is in the Army, and
doesn't quite know how to tell his
father that he has no desire to go
to Cambridge. And lastly, there is
Martin (Ralph Richardson), the
parson, who is disturbed because
he knows that people feel they
can't talk to hip. The conflicts
come to a head when the family
gathers at the vicarage for Christ-
mas, and in this atmosphere they
all "find" themselves.
The acting is consistently fine.
The principals do a bit of rhetori-
cal give and take which is thrill-
ing to watch and constantly sus-
tained. English attention to fine
detail in subordinate characters
is always evident, particularly in
portrayals of two aunts who join
the family gathering. Some scenes
are highly emotional, some down-
right funny, but all of them are
very absorbing.
THE MOVIE AS A whole is an
interesting study of people and
their problems.. It may not be the
greatest picture that was ever
filmed, but it certainly is well
worth seeing.
To complete your evening, the
management of the theater has
provided a U.P.A. 6-cartoon festi-
val including Mr. Magoo and Ger-
ald McBoing Boing. One, a Ma-
goo take-off on detective stories,
is nothing short of hilarious.
-Tammy Morrison
McCARTHY IS A FACT. Mike
Hammer is but fiction. Yet
even as fiction his popularity, his
acceptance point is something we
would do well to reckon with, and
soon. Eternal vigilance, goes the
saying, is the price of liberty. It
would be disastrous to change the
word vigilance to vigilante.

DAVID AND BATHSHEBA with
Gregory Pack, Susan Hayward,
Kieron Moore, and Raymond
Massey (Technicolor).
DAVID AND BATHSHEBA ex-
plores the universal theme of
the illicit relationship. In this case
the protagonists are of historic im-
portance. David is the Israelite
king and Bathsheba is the wife of
an Israelite army officer.
NEITHER the king nor the wom-
an have realized happiness in their
domestic lives. Since the society
condoned polygamy, David has
many wives but gains satisfaction
from none of them. Bathsheba is
married to an ambitious soldier
whose fervor for battle is more im-
portant than his married life, so
much so that he has spent only six
nights out of the first six months
of his marriage with his wife.
The two lovers are fiercely at-
tracted to each other but their af-
fair is gilded with portents of even-
tual doom:
THINGS COME TO a head when
Bathsheba finds herself pregnant
although her husband has not been
home in several months.
David conceives several plans in
order to save his mistress from the
wrath of an idealist people, a peo-
ple to whom infidelity is against
the grain of everything in which
they believe. The king seems to
sense the inevitable outcome of his
folly.
As a motion picture, David and
Bathsheba leaves much to be de-
sired. The acting is disappointing
from the standpoint of the per-
formers' reputations. The cinema-
tography, the costumes, and the
musical background are all unre-
alistic. Thesimmediate enjoyment
value is absent.
BUT THE SOCIAL implications
of this movie cover a broad range.
Stressed are the universal theme of
an illicit relationship and a theme
of greater importance: the struggle
between Individual and Society.
Significant insights into the per-
sonality of the characters are made
evident as shown in David's at-
tachment for the dead Jonathan
and his incompatability with his
wives, the love of war on the part
of the husband that approaches
megalomania, and the fact that the,
jealousy between David's sons is
evident early in their lives.
David and Bathsheba is a clas-
sic example of the Book being so
much better than the picture; for
the true enjoyment, as in the case
of reading the Bible, comes when
the film is over and the realiza-
tion of what has been said is felt.

No Good-Evil Struggle
Mars This Melodrama
[t the State.. .
ROGUE COP, with Robert Taylor
Robert Taylor plays the rogue cop of the
title, and his roguery consists of taking graft,
fixing raps, and the like for a set of big
racketeers. He makes a token submission to
right morality when his racketeer bosses kill
his brother. It's a token submission because
Taylor never really repudiates his connection
with the underworld; nor does he seem to have
sufficient emotional motivation to care a hoot
whether or not his brother was shot.
However, the aim of this picture is not to
make a dramatic inter-relation between good
and evil: Taylor might as well be in the
throes of conversion from Zoroastrianism to
tree-worship for all the difference his' con-
version from evil to good makes in this pic-
ture. The pitch of Rogue Cop is to interest
the viewer in the glamor of crime.
This is immediately apparent in its choice
of leading men: George Raft and Taylor, who
are the arch-villains throughout most of the
picture, have in common a certain dapper,
man-of-distinction appearance. There is an
attempt to invoke a feeling of dark danger and

menace from their peculiar kind of good looks.
But in fact, one finds it hard to believe that
both of them aren't the genteel sort their
elegant manners and well-cut clothes suggest.
For instance, when Taylor tells Janet Leigh,
ex-tramp, "You're dirt, baby, just like me,"
and then hits her with a big wet kiss, it's
difficult to reconcile the idea of any kind
of dit with his elegant dress and fastidious
manners.
Rogue Cop relies heavily on the dubious at-
tractions of sadism, also. Presumably because
all the cruelties which can be represented out-
right on the screen have paled by constant
repetition, a new one is worked up. George
Raft's girl is played by a very fresh, sixteenish
kind of girl, Anne Francis. When Raft tires
of her because she drinks and talks too much,
he has her dragged off screaming to be work-
ed over in some unexplained way by "Jacio and
the boys." She shows up some time later dazed
and without make-up, clutching her abdomen,
and muttering abstractedly about the surpass-
ing brutality men are capable of. This sort of
thing, it seems to me, is thrown into the movie
irresponsibly, hoping to provoke a few thrills
in the more sensation-thirsty members of its
audience. It adds nothing to the imaginative
scope of the picture.
The fact that other movies were culled for
effects which could be lifted for this one si
pretty apparent too. Many of the police
station incidents, like the booking of a sullen
young punk, are lifted right out of Detective
Story. Needless to say, they aren't done half
so well this time.
In many ways, Rogue Cop tries to repeat
the formula of The Big Heat, another movie
made from a William McGivern novel. Even
in this limited field, however, it doesn't mea-
sure up. The Big Heat had at least the charm
and whimsicality of Gloria Graham, and An-
thony Quinn's impressive violence to recom-
mend it. Rogue Cop is most often colorless,
odorless, and tasteless.
And compared with pictures like Detective
Story, or The Maltese Falcon, which do drama-
tize the conflict of good and evil in the criminal
milieu, Rogue Cop is nowhere.

Forecast
For The
84th
WASHINGTON - Political pre-
dictions-FDR Jr. is through
... Ike is indispensable for the Re-
publicans for 1956. The pressure
on him to run will be terrific ..
Ike will do no quickie barnstorm-
ing again. Of the four states he
touched on that airborne cam-
paign, three were lost despite his
visits-Kentucky, Michigan, Dela-
ware. Only Ohio came through ...
Sen. Homer Ferguson will get his
choice of new .jobs in the Ike ad-
ministration. Ike considers Fergy
abler than Knowland and, if re-
elected, had planned to make Fer-
gy his Senate leader . . . there'll
be a new drive to recall McCarthy.
If he'd been running last week. he
would have lost. His best friend
in the House, Congressman Char-
les Kersten, was defeated, while
GOP Governor Kohler squeaked
through with only 51 per cent of
the vote. This was the biggest dem-
ocratic vote in 22 years . . . Mc-
Carthy is finished as a political
campaigner. In Illinois where his
tactics were used, Senator Douglas
rolled up one of the biggest leads
in the country. In New Jersey
where McCarthy attacked Clifford
Case, Case looks to be the winner
... Nixon is not finished as a Mc-
Carthyite campaigner. He used ex-
actly McCarthy's tactics, but he's
smoother and handsomer.
Predictions for 84th Congress --
Senators S t r o m Thurmond of
South Carolina and Price Daniel
of Texas, Republicrats, will be
invited to dine at the White House
repeatedly. They supported Ike ,in
1952, and the White House wants
to continue their support . .
others to be wooed are: Sen. Allan
Bible, new Democrat from Ne-
vada, replacing Republican Pat
McCarran. Ikemen hope he'll'split
his vote as Pat did; also Congress-
man Thurman Chatham of North
Carolina (manufacturer of Chat-
ham blankets) who frequently
votes with the GOP ... One of
the most important men in the
new Congress will be a Negro-
Congressman William Dawson
Chicago Democrat. In the House
of Representatives he will take
over the job Senator McCarthy
was supposed to d in the Senate
-investigate government opera-
tions . . . Dawson will not con-
centrate on communism but on
inefficiency. (That was McCar-
thy's job also.) . . . Dawson could
cause plenty of problems for Eis-
enhower. .. but he's an easygoing
Congressman who defers to col-
leagues and allocates most of the
investigating work to Congressman
Holifield of California, Hardy of
Virginia, and Karsten of Missouri.
With the Senate so evenly split
between 'Democrats and Republi-
cans, Dawson's committee will be
one of the most important investi-
gative agencies in Washington.
Policies of the 84th Congress
More Defense Spending-Con-
gresnan Carl Vinson of Georgia,
who heads up the Armed Services
Committee, believes Ike neglected
national defense, will push for Ar-
my, Navy increas.es. So will anoth-
er Georgian, Sen. Dick Russell in
the Senate Armed Services.
Taxes-Little change. New Ways
and Means Committee Chairman
Jere Cooper of Tennessee.will push
for greater relief for small tax-
payers; will also try to increase
dependency exemptions from $600
to $700. But he won't get far. Both
the Senate and the White House
will keep taxes as is.
Farm Problems-Little change.
Democrats in the House will not
be able to reverse Secretary Ben-
son's policies, though they'll try.
They may be able to stop Benson
from reducing the price of milk
products by 5 per cent on Janu-
ary 1, but that will be about all.
Eisenhower will continue to sup-
port Benson 100 per cent.
Appropriations-This will bring
headaches to Ike's furrowed brow.
Chairman Clarence Cannon. of
Missouri, head of House. Appro-
priations, is a tightfisted Demo-
crat who will knock spots into
Ike's Dixon-Yates contract and
any other money used to favor
private utilities.
Public Housing - The Public
Housing program which the Con-
gress pretty much buried will be
resurrected. Ike wants a modified
program, and the Dems, led by
Brent Spence of Kentucky, want
to go even further. The real-estate
lobby may have its hands full.
Small Business r- Those who
worry over the alarming rash of
mergers will get a vigorous cham-
pion. Congressman Wright Pat-
man of Texas will head the Small
Business Committee and will raise
cain. Senator Sparkman of Ala-
bama will do the same on the Sen-
ate side.
Schools--Congressman Graham
Barden of North Carolina, an ex-
wchoolteacher.will push the school-

Saar Settlement Troubles
Aden'a-er at Home
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
DURING THE LAS' few days,
while the United States has
been engrossed in its own poliltical
problems, a serious situation has
developed in Germany threatening
one of the nation's major policies
abroad.
Chancellor Adenauer returned to
Bonn after his visit with President
Eisenhower and other American
officials to find the coalition parties
on which he depends for his ma-
jority in the Bundestag up in arms
over the Saar settlement.
You will recall that, insofar as
nite settlement at some future
conference on a final German
peace treaty.
This arrangement, limiting free-
dom of speech and political inde-
pendence of both individuals and
groups, was highly disturbing. It
was accepted both by France's
Allies and by Chancellor Adenauer
only as a necessary evil attendant
upon accomplishing broad general
aims of much greater urgency. "
But this has proved too tough for
a lot of Germans to swallow.
SOME AMERICANS who distrust
France said at the time that her
insistence on settlement of the Saar
question in connection with WEU
