Suspense & Excitement
In 'Fourteen Hours'
When a man steps out on the window ledge of the 15th floor of a
hotel, threatening to jump to his death, a chain of consequences results


WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:
By DREW PEARSON

THERE'S one thing the Repub-
licans can usually count on
from the Democrats: they yell
more than they produce.
Last winter the Democrats, as-
suming control of Congress,. brag-
ged about the probes they were
going to stage. Then they got
bogged down in the Congressional
routine, staged no probes, but
bragged about the probes they
would stage when Congress ad-
journed.
Came the Congressional ad-
journment. The Dems proceeded
to go touring. They flocked all
over the globe, from Helsinki to
Buenos Aires. They probed the
tourist offices, they probed the
restaurants, they probed the night
clubs-everything except affairs of
Congress-and all at government
expense.
ESTES KEFAUVER, who had
promised a big probe of Dixon-
Yates and juvenile delinquency
took a leisurely loll around Asia-
though he's getting down to work
on Dixon-Yates this week. Sen.
Warren Magnusonof Washington
who was voted $200,000 for a
probe of TV-radio-communications
found himself busy in the North-
west.
Some solons have stayed at
home and done fine jobs-Sena-

tors O'Mahoney of Wyoming,
Sparkman of Alabama, Hennings
of Missouri, plus Congressmen
Manny Celler of New York and
Wright Patman of Texas.
But the other widely advertised
probes have flopped. Their Demo-
cratic chairmen have just been too
busy touring or mending political
fences.
WHILE DEMOCRATIC leaders
have been castigating the Eisen-
hower Administration about play-
ing up to big business, the Dems
in turn have taken a runout pow-
der on protecting one of the most
important small business groups
in the nation-smaller TV sta-
tions.
This nation was built on the
principle that any country editor
could set up a printing press in
any town of his choosing and pub-,
lish a newspaper at his own risk.
Today, the same principle does not
apply to one of the great modern
mediums of communication-tele-
vision.
And a few days ago the big-bus-
iness-minded Federal Communi-
cations Commission slapped down
the country-editor type TV sta-
tions. The little UHF stations had
had a chance to compete with the
giants of the industry until two
weeks ago when the FCC slapped
them down with the "deintermix-I

ture" decision permitting potent
VHF stations to be opened in areas
hitherto reserved for small UHF
stations, thereby putting them out
of business.
FCC's decision not only affected
freedom of communications-mod-
ern version for freedom of press-
but freedom of business to adver-
tise. For 16 TV stations owned by
the major networks brought in 60
per cent of all TV advertising last
year. This means that expensive
TV advertising has so pre-empted
the major stations that little ad-
vertisers can't get on the air.
The jittery Federal Communica-
tions Commission has now set Dec.
15 as D-Day for the future of
educational television.
Having about bumped off small
UHF stations, the FCC is under
pressure from the networks and
from Sol Taishoff, who tries to be
unofficial czar of the industry, to
take back the channels previously
allocated to colleges and universi-
ties. Taishoff even wants the FCC
to take back some of the TV chan-
nels allocated to the military.
All this and more will be debated
by the FCC on or after Dec. 15.
In fact, the future of television for
the next generation may be then
decided.

generating excitement and sus-
pense.
This is the theme of "Fourteen
Hours" and when director Henry
Hathaway centers his camera on
the potential suicide and the ef-
forts to avert it. a taut and
gripping drama fills the screen.
When the camera wanders to the
sub-plots, things get pretty silly.
RICHARD BASEHART portrays
the young neurotic who paralyzes
New York City traffic, incites
thousands of spectators to stand
in the streets below, brings his
parents and ex-fiancee rushing to
the hotel and severely tests the
resourcefulness of the police de-
partment and a pair of psy-
chiatrists. The camera angles,
viewing the street from the 15th
floor and above and from the
ground up, are truly awesome and
all acrophobes will have several
uneasy moments.
Basehart remains uncommuni-
cative to all but 'Paul Douglas,
playing a sympathetic traffic cop
who does his best to entice the
former to safety, but without suc-
cess. The explanation for the in-
cident is skillfully pieced together
by the psychiatrists from listening
to the attempts of persuasion of
the mother, father and girlfriend.
As the nervous and unpredict-
able young man, always on the
verge of plunging to his death,
Basehart is very effective. Ex-
cellent performances are also re-
corded by Douglas, Agnes Moore-
head as the mother and Barbara
Bel Geddes as the girl.
* * *
THE SUB-PLOTS referred to
earlier are particularly annoying
as they divert attention from the
hotel ledge; taken by themselves,
though, they're bad enough as they
represent Hollywood's continuous
attempts to saccharinate all they
touch, presumably to placate the
public which might be offended
by. the bitter realities of life.
Briefly, Hollywood has Debra
Paget meet the boy of her dreams
and Grace Kelly call off her
divorce, both as a result of the
swaying Basehart.
There are some thrilling scenes
as the police rescue squad utilizes
all their life-saving devices and
are constantly thwarted by suc-
cessive accidents. Although one
needn't be a Ver to predict the
outcome, the ending is clever
enough to restraii a foreclosure.
"Fourteen Hours" was issued in
1951, a product of 20th Century
Fox.

EDITOR
Bennie ;Blasted ..
To The Editor:
AS A football fan of Michigan
for six years I have seen all
the games and watched all spring
and fall practice sessions.
I have come to the conclusion
that Michigan will never be cham-
pion as long as Mr. Oosterbaan is
the head coach. I agree that Oos-
terbaan was a great athlete in his
time, but in my book he is no
coach. He doesn't have the inspira-
tion to arouse his team when they
need it the most.
I would also like to mention that
Michigan won their games with
their strong forward line, and
that's because the hard-working
line coach, Mr. Blot, kept doing
his fine job season in and season
out...
Please don't think I have any-
thing against Mr. Oosterbaan per-
sonally, but only as a coach.

Enjoyed Magazine...
To The Editor:
THOROUGHLY enjoyed the first
two Sunday Magazine sections
of The Michigan Daily. Both
showed an imagination and pro-
fessionalism seldom run across in
a college newspaper. Especially
liked the articles on Cranbrook,
Mrs. Arnow, farm problems and
chamber music.
Only hope that the staff can
keep up to the pace set by the
first two excellent issues.

the SGC elections, hadn't taken
much time considering the can-
didates. If he had taken any time
at all and looked into the matter
with any consideration, he would
have read The Daily on a par-

ON the question of the admission of new
members to the United Nations we have
been outwitted by the Soviet Union and have
been landed in a box from which there is no
graceful exit. The affair is a horrible example
of how to lose face, of how to lose influence,
of how to make this country look foolish -
for no better reason that the men at the top
did not stop to think about what was happen-
ng and what they were doing.
The U.N. has sixty members and since 1950
no new member has been admitted. Every ap-
plicant has been blackba-lled either by the Soviet
Union or by the Western nations. 'This has
excluded the Soviet satellites - Bulgaria, Rou-
mania, Hungary, Albania and Outer Mongolia.
It has excluded among others Italy, Austria,
Portugal, Finland, Japan - and Spain which
did not apply until very recently because it
knew that the Soviet Union would use its
veto.
It has long been obvious that the only way
to break the deadlock was by a deal with the
Soviet Union. We would have to stop vetoing
theiresatellites if they would stop vetoing our
clients. The idea of the so-called package deal
was, as a matter of fact, first proposed by the
United States in 1946.
There were then nine applicants - among
them not only Portugal, Iceland and Sweden
but also, we may note, Outer Mongolia. We
proposed that in spite of our misgivings about
Albania and Outer Mongolia, all nine should
be admitted on the principle of "universality
of membership." Nationalist China supported
the American proposals. Mr. Dulles, who was

one applicants. Canada proposed that all the
applicants, except only the divided countries
of Korea and Vietnam, be admitted in one
package. Canada got the support of twenty-
five members to sponsor its proposal to admit
seventeen applicants. It was known in Sep-
tember that the Soviet Union was probably
prepared to admit sixteen - all but Japan.
At about that time -- on Sept. 23 - Spain
applied. Then there were eighteen nations in
the Canadian package.
The Soviet Union, swallowing hard over Spain.
and Japan, nevertheless swallowed them. This
meant that there was no further obstacle on
the Soviet side to admitting Italy, Spain, Por-
tugal, Ireland, Austria, Finland and Japan. At
this point Mr. Dulles and Mr. Lodge gagged
at Outer Mongolia. They could swallow Al-
bania. They could not swallow Outer Mon-
golia.
The result, which they did not foresee though
they should have foreseen- it, was to isolate the
United States as the sole obstacle to the ad-
mission of Italy, Spain, Japan and the other
countries whose good will means so much to us.
When Mr. Dulles was recently in Rome and
in Madrid, he heard from both countries on
that subject.
This is what I meant by saying that we have
been outwitted. Once the Soviet Union ac-
cepted the package which included Spain and
Japan, it was sheer folly for the United States
to make a fuss about Outer Mongolia. If we
were really serious about swallowing that gnat,
it would mean that we would get all the blame
not only from the eighteen applicants who
would be excluded but from almost all the


MUTUAL FEAR:
world Hopes for Peace, Ponders War

I

By HAL BOYLE
Associated Press writer
'URBSTONE reflections of a
pavement Plato:
The world has always been a
marry-go-round.
It still is.
Looking at the present merry-
go-round, what do we find? Let us
go around the world, starting with
the American.
* * *
THE AMERICAN doesn't feel
the need of war. He is enjoying
the highest level of individual and
national prosperity ever achieved
in the history of mankind.
To defend that happiness, how-
ever, he feels at heart ready, will-
ing and able to deal death to any
quarter of the globe that threatens
him. He hopes he'll never have to
fight again-but he'll fight. And
he'll fight on.
The English, following their
modern pattern, concede in ad-
vance that their situation is hope-
less militarily. They are recon-
ciled to a fight in which they will
never ever really give up.
* * *
THE FRENCHMAN, individual
as ever, takes pride in his empire
.overseas but refuses to be drafted
to defend it. As his hired soldiers
from abroad dwindle, his empire
will dwindle. Meanwhile, he'll
claim a hold on the world's cul-
ture

world's largest war machine, and
pat Red China on the back at the
same time he feels for a weak
spot he may use later.
* *
THE CHINESE are riding the
peak of their wave. In their land
revolution climbs a Red throne,
and reaches from yesterday toward
today.
Crowded India yearns to be the
fulcrum, the balance point be-
tween the East and West, but vast
China holds out the crimson hand
of bargaining.
Industrious, market-hungry Ja-

pan, bounding back fast, reaches
toward China, meanwhile sells in
America.
IN AMERICA a vast war ma-
chine is maintained and eternally
refurbished, and new atomic pow-
er reactors are steadily built.
Everywhere in the world people
are building in hopes of peace and
worrying about war.
This is the merry-go-round. So
it has usually been before. So it
will probably be as long as one
people or one country fears an-
other.
