PAGE- FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY. APRIL 1. 1955 FUA y C A iL A IA 704 SINGERS MISS OUT: No Sentimentality Academy Award Rule DREW PEARSON: Adams Is Second In Power "I'd Like To Talk To Dr. Jekyll, Please" T HOSE who expected sentimentality to rule the Academy Award voters' selections were in for a shock when the winners were an- nounced Wednesday. With the possible exception of the Greta Garbo award, the selections showed admirable restraint in recognizing talent and ability above emotional preference. Miss Garbo's award, a long-overdue tribute to her many fine perform- ances, was a nicely sentimental gesture in an evening of objective, rational relectivity. Many times in the past, the Academy has become overwhelmed with a fresh, new per- sonality In a first movie role (as evidenced by Judy Holliday and Audrey Hepburn) who has turned out to be only a personality. Then there have been the continuing delight in off-beat roles: Donna Reed (ingenue to prostitute), Frank Sinatra (singer to dying soldier), Gin- ger Rogers (dancer to soap-opera heroine). By dismissing singers-turned-thespians Judy Gar- land and Bing Crosby, the Academy indicated that it might possibly be over this phase for a while. T7HERE HAVE ALSO been instances where performers were awarded for standard in- terpretations to compensate for previously slighted superior performances. Last year's winner William Holden was such a case. The selection of Edmund O'Brien as best-support- ing actor for The Barefoot Contessa seemed to be a further continuation of this policy. His sweaty, wheezy interpretation was like any one of his many sweaty, wheezy interpretations. But the selection of best actress Grace Kelly (The Country Girl) and best-actor Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront) was an extremely wise, prestige-adding move for the Academy. Rumors that Judy Garland would commit sui- cide if she did not receive an award and that Guaranteed Its Securit FROM THE way UAW President Walter A Reuther talks, the guaranteed annual wage for auto workers is a guaranteed eventuality. The union merely has to negotiate its way through a few of management's remaining res- ervations, although it stands ready to strike if necessary. Even automobile executives have accepted the principle of the guaranteed annual wage, objecting only to its practical implications on their cost curves. All the union has to do is convince them that they can afford to pay an annual wage. There is a multitude of economic arguments 'that could be brought to bear on this issue, but most of them emphasize the rigidity the annual way would introduce into the economy and security for the workingman. BU' WHAT is security? A worker is promised an annual wage, given seniority in his job, and provided with protection by the union. What does this secure him? If times are bad, he will be without a job regardless of these arrangements, because no business can long operate at a loss. If times are good, he does not need these arrangements. If times are in be- tween layoff times, his feelings of security are false, and may lead him to a laxity that would soon bring times that are bad. In short, the workingman is looking for a security that does not exist. No kind of job security is secure against a host of contingen- cies, only one of which is a depression. In a deflation, his very security and the rigidity it embodies contributes to the downward spiral, His security contributes to his insecurity. SECURITY IS A misleading word. It makes one think he is safe when he is not. The only real security is the ability and prepared- ness to meet any contingencies that may arise. Security is an ignoring of possible contingen- cies. Bing Crosby was contemplating retiremer made the entire affair seem like a farce. ThL Kelly-Brando choice quelled the rumors, an( brought recognition to two of Hollywood younger and highly talented performers. THIS YEAR'S song winner, "Three Coins i the Fountain," was a concession to juke box trade, something which Hollywood ca hardly afford to ignore; and the slighting o the superior "Man That Got Away" was ver understandable in this light. But nothing seem to explain Dmiitri Tiomkin's award for Thy High and the Mighty background music - something designed to engulf film goers in net of stereophonic sound. As for Walt Disney-one might just as we supply him, with a shovel each March. H awards now total 24-a tribute to both h imagination and his artistry. The Vanishin Prairie received an Oscar for best documen tary and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea fo special effects, both will deserved, especiall "Sea," where underwater photography over shadowed a trite story and mediocre acting t make the film highly enjoyable. When Magoo Flew, the best cartoon of th year, was another in a series of now-stereotype stories of the near-sighted little man. On theWaterfront, winner of seven award took first place in this year's Hollywood outpu with little effort. Eva Marie Saint (best-sup porting actress), Director Elia Kazan, an Writer Budd Schulberg, along with Brand took top honors. If there is one major camplaint about the awarding, it is that for an academy devoted ti motion picture artistry, the little attention giv en such foreign efforts as Ugetsu, Earringso Madame de... ,Mr. Hulot's Holiday, Beautie of the Night, The Little Kidnappers, and Ro meo and Juliet seemed difficult to accept. --Ernest Theodossin !nnua1 Wage: ;yIllusory? An important part of being able to meet at contingencies (in fact, the important part)i the freedom to take any action so that the pro per action, which is unknown beforehand, ma be taken. It follows that if security is prepared ness to meet contingencies and freedom is ne cessary for preparedness, there is more rea security in freedom than in what we have al ways called security. THE WORKINGMAN is willing to give u unconsciously a part of his freedom for a annual wage, which means, actually, either a annual wage or no job. The possibility of n job is not much security. The loss of freedon is in assuming a dependence on a guarantee wage which, through a psychological process prevents an incentive to improve one's positiox It is true that a worker would get paid dur ing a layoff, which is the union's main poin In this respect, he is provided with a measur of security against being without wages. Bu more should be done about preventing invol untary unemployment than on preventing o alleviating its effects. The annual wage migh contribute to the very phenomena whose ef fects it is attempting to cure by making i harder forbusiness to prosper. HlOWEVER, it might not have this effect. A annual wage might put enough sense o security into a workingman's mind and enoug cash into his hands, that he might spend mor of his income and save less. This might hav the effect of raising business activity by in creasing demand, and business' increased cost are made up by increased revenues. Even if this happens, which would be eco nomically beneficial to all, it would not remov the change in outlook from freedom to secur ity, which change might prove disastrous a soon as one of those inevitable business cycle gets us to a downturn. -Jim Dygert 's WASHINGTON - Two revealing events have taken place be- hind the scenes at the White n House which throw some light on - the President's present and future. n b1. Sherman Adamshthe ice- nblooded little Yankee who sits at A Ike's right hand as Assistant Pre- y sident, has emerged as second s most powerful man in America. te This is because Ike is away a lot - and delegates authority a lot. Ad- a ams is such a. quiet operator the public has heard little of him, yet 11 he has replaced New York's ex- is Governor Tom Dewey as the power is behind the President. ig 2. Foreign Aid boss Harold Stas- .. sen was almost fired instead of r appointed Secretary of Peace. Pre- y sident Eisenhower was so provoked he acted like a man who intended t o run and wanted no rival nudg- o ing his elbow. le Here are the backstage details: d When 'Eisenhower moved into dthe White House, Tom Dewey's ghost moved in with him. For the s, first two years, Dewey's men dom- t inated the White House. Most in- - fluential was Tom Stephens, the d appointment secretary, who work- o, ed at the President's elbow and de- cided who got past the inner por- e tal. Another influential Dewey o man was Press Secretary Jim Ha-. - gerty who guides the President's of public relations, es Tip-off that the Dewey influ- ence was declining was Stephens' unexpected resignation. It was gen- erally assumed Stephens wanted to go back to his law firm and share in its new-found prosperity. Ever since Stephens' rise to the White House, his former law firm has been unusually prosperous. Adams Arranged Exit NSIDE STORY, however, is that Stephens didn't want to quit at all. He was squeezed out. Sher- y man Adams complained about all the "politicians" Stephens was let- is ting in to see the President, fin- ally maneuvered him completely y out of the White House. - Adams also has been draining - Jim Hagerty's authority over pub- l lic relations. Once a power behind l- the scenes, Jim has become less a policy maker, more a front man with the press. Real responsibility p for public relations has been trans- ferred quietly to Arizona's ex- n Governor Howard Pyle, an astute n radio and TV station owner. o All White House operations are ml now firmly under Adams' thumb. d Those close to him swear he has s, not accumulated all this power for a, his own sake, but is almost fana- . tically loyal to President Eisen- t. hower. .e Another straw in the wind is the t untold story of Harold Stassen's .- close political shave. He spoke too *freely of his own Presidential r prospects in case Ikedecided not r$to run again. Stassen let it be - known that he would make a good t candidate to succeed Ike. When word of this got back to the President, he became so furi- n ous that he fired Stassen on the f spot. White House aides, however, h finally talked Ike out of it before e the firing became effective. When he cooled down, he appointed Stas- e sen to be a special Secretary of s Peace instead. Democratic Vacuum - SHORTLY BEFORE the 84th ,e Congress convened last Janu- ary you heard a lot of Democratic s talk about what would happen when that party took the helm. s Among other things, the Dixon- Yates power contract was going to be thoroughly investigated - and killed. There was to be a penetra- ting probe of monopoly, and of GOP handling of so-called secur- ity risks. Since then exactly three months have passed and the net result is one large and silent zero. The Dixon-Yates investigation has run up a dead-end street. Dur- d ing the Republican-controlled r Congress, a GOP Senator from - North Dakota named Langer re- d ally stirred up Dixon-Yates. Out of dhis own pocket he paid a smart young lawyer from New York, Sid- d ney Davis, who, singlehanded, - showed up the way in which the - power trust had been able to get e amazing concessions from the gov- s, ermnent. In contrast, since the e Democrats have taken over, noth- ing has happened. Sen. Joe O'Mahoney of Wyom- e ing, a veteran trust-buster, has e been put back on the Judiciary - Committee which, is supposed to d investigate monopoly. Here also r nothing has happened. e . Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennes- e see, another seasoned trustbuster, e is on the subcommittee supposed to probe monopoly. Again nothing 'e has happened. Sen. Harley Kilgore of West Vir-. g ginia, a fine public servant when t he's on the job, is Chairman of y the Subcommittee on Monopoly. But he just doen't seem to hbe Ue tn n* Oi I N L~ I -w-----. - ------" -._ _,_, C Y f ; ~ . k 1 k 1 , .. -j - . --_. t_ , k - ..- 4 . r{, { ,ri --- j / "' M1 f . INTERPRETING THE NEWS By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst. THERE ARE several things that Secretary Dulles could say when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee questions him about publication of the Yalta papers and why side remarks were included. He could say that the informal remarks were a part of the only records available, and that if you start cutting out too much material you imperil the authority of the whole compilation. He could say that these informal remarks actually are important evidence as they relate to the attitudes and intent of the conference participants, and therefore necessary to a full view of what was aking place. He could say the papers have been widely used by the Voice of America to remind the world of the futility of negotiations with a Russia which breaks and perverts her agreements right and left, and to prevent the rise of hopes for future negotiations only to have them dashed. He might not be able to say that this was a factor in the decision to publish. ONE CONTENTION of the State Department is that publication of the papers boosted the majorities given to ratification of the Paris accords by France and Germany. Whether the secretary will make that claim is not known. The main thing the secretary can say is a delicate one. Some ex- pert observers think he will do so in one fashion or another. It is that Congress instructed the department to prepare and publish the papers, appropriated the money for them, and that Republican congressional pressure overcame department reluctance at the end. Harder to explain will be the department's first attempt to show the papers only to a limited number of congressional leaders-under circumstances which invited widespread leakage and why there was a decision not to publish, and another to publish, after Democrats had refused to accept the documents in confidence. DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN n CURRENT MOVIES AS THE AD said (for a change), The Raid is one of the "surprise hits" of the year. The story deals with the attempt of a band of escaped Confederate prisoners, led by Major Neil Swayze (Van Heflin), to successfully com- plete their mission of crossing into the country over the Canadian bor- der, ransacking the town of St. Albans, Vermont, and fleeing safely back over the border again. This obviously isn't very easy, and to com- plicate the project further, one of the group gets a little trigger-happy and almost foils the whole plan. Various other obstacles confront the Southern soldiers also, not the least of which is the unexpected arrival of a Union contingent on the day the raid is to take place. The details of the plot are ingenious, and as a whole it is carried through realistically and consistently, largely because it manages to avoid the melodramatic devices upon which a war movie often depends. F It does not pretend to be any more than the isolated event in the Civ- il War which it is, and the audi- ence is not expected to walk out of the theater with a Message. The chief reason why The Raid is successful, however, is because of its sensitive but unsentimental portrayal of the effect of the mis- sion on the various characters. Swayze, who precedes his men to St. Albans in order to "case the joint," is hard-pressed as it is to maintain his role of a neutral Ca- nadian business man in the North- ern community; but he is placed in a truly ironical position when he is proclaimed the town hero for killing the trigger-happy Lieut. Keating. Another com- plexity is added by the Major's affection toward Katie Bishop, the landlady of the boarding house where he is staying. How- ever, potential melodrama is avoided here because the relation- ship between the two is kept in its proper 'perspective, and only goes as far as the fulfillment of his desire that she understand the revenge motive behind the raid. Another well-rounded character is that of Capt. Foster, played by Richard Boone. Foster, who sup- posedly lost an arm in valiant com- bat for the Union, actually sustain- ed his injury by deliberately throw- ing himself under a caisson in or- der to avoid fighting, but he be- comes a hero in fact as well as name during the film's climax. The other characters, both major and minor, are generally handled well, and stereotyping is resisted in an admirable fashion, The various short subjects provide an excellent contrast to the feature-they are unbelievably bad. -Ruth Rossner ti LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Counseling Facilities Can Be Improved }: THE ENTIRE counseling problem, as viewed from the results of James D. Shortt's sur- vey of the literary college counseling facilities, seems like a confused portrait of University red tape. Years pass, while counselors sit, firmly en- trenched in their Angell Hall offices, inter- preting the literary college catalogue for be- wildered students. That their function has ever been anything more than an interpretive one appears rather remote. WHAT SHORTT has achieved in his survey is to put previously expressed and ac- cepted attitudes of students and counselors into the cold black and white statistics of sci- entific research. The findings which he has unearthed are hardly startling or unprecedent- ed; they are just a bit more concrete now. The entire counseling problem, if it is view- ed broadly, appears as a bureaucratic mon- strocity, a kind of necessary evil about which nothing can be done at present. There must be some system whereby students are advised about elections. Everyone cannot 'have a per- sonal "faculty friend." Everyone cannot be The counselor must be extremely intereste in his work for there are few advantages othe than personal satisfaction in such work. Uni versity teaching employees are promoted an given pay raises on the basis of tenure, per formance in teaching, published writing, an research. Counseling provides little opportun ity for advancement up the University hier archal ladder. If the counseling work wer valued more among the University top brass there would probably be many more capabl people attracted to the job. Second, it is now possible for a student to se his counselor only once a semester-when h needs his election card signed. Periodic meet ings between counselors and counselees woul enable counselors to learn more about thei students and correspondingly advise them mor accurately. Such meetings are now possible but few counselors or students promote th possibility. More counselors would facilitat additional interviews to a greater degree, Third, there would be better understandin if one counselor were assigned to a studen for hig undergraduate years.

To the Editor: THE FORTHCOMING visit of eleven editors of student and youth publications from the So- Editorials printed in The Mich- i-an Daily are written by nzemn- hers of The Daily staff and rep- resent the 'views of the writer viet Union should greatly reward the desires and efforts of Ameri- can and Soviet students for friend- ly, considerate relations between our two countries. The common interest for peace of the" American and Soviet peo- ple is served by such visits because they can create mutual under- standing, respect and ties of .friendship. It would be a healthy boost for the cause of peace if the exchange trips of student editors were the beginning of exchanges on a grand scale: of teachers, far- mers, trade unionists, businessmen, artists, political leaders and oth- ers. In an atmosphere created by such friendly ties, war inciting would be looked upon as a form of insanity. When the Soviet editors are in Ann Arbor, it would be fruitful for one or several gatherings to be arranged, in which students could meet the Soviet editors, and ask them questions about Soviet life. Would it not be a good idea, also, while the Soviet editors are here, for The Daily to arrange an exchange column with, say, the University of Moscow, in which Soviet students could reply in the columns of the Michigan Daily to our questions and U. of M. stu- dents could reply in the columns of the student newspaper of the University of Moscow to the ques- tions of Soviet students? -Mike Sharpe, Chairman Labor Youth League Headline To the Editor: WOULD like to voice my seri- ous objection to the heading of an article appearing on the front page of The Daily, March 26, 1955, which read, "Kenneth Speaks 'on Race Relations," referring to a talk by Professor Kenneth Clark of City College of New York.
