AT LYDIA MENDELSSOHN: Life Nothing To Worry About, Says 'Angels' IFE IS nothing to worry about, says the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre's current production, and in an evening of light comedy it halfway convinces the audience. The dominant impression of "My Three Angels" is good clean fun -a few murders, a couple of side romances, a few fogeries-and all's well that ends well. Despite a few tender moments when our hero-convicts turn a shade sentimental, there is nothing particularly profound in this play.

The Detroit --MURRY FRYMER, Editorial Director Better Kind of Glory ONLY A few days ago another college besides Michigan State was being considered to represent the state of Michigan in a season- ending bowl game. Little Hillsdale College needed only a strong show of support from fans through the writing of letters to the Tangerine Bowl committee in Orlando, Florida to receive an invitation to that bowl. Needless to say, a Tangerine Bowl bid means just as much to the 600 students of Hillsdale as a Rose Bowl invitation means to one of the large Big Ten schools. The fans did their share in convincing bowl officials of the worthiness of Hillsdale. NEVERTHELESS, the committee chose as its Northern representative Juniata College of Pennsylvania, which had, like Hillsdale, just completed a fine undefeated season. The reason was not that Juniata fans were more vociferous. WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND: Adams Will Dump Scheele By DREW PEARSON It was because Hillsdale had voluntarily with- drawn from competition. "We wouldn't go if four of our men weren't allowed to play," coach Frank Waters explained in a radio interview. The bowl committee had made acceptance of Hillsdale dependent on the barring of that school's Negro players from the game. The past football season has produced much ill-feeling among Big Ten teams in their battle for the Rose Bowl bid. Many fans have lost perspective to the point that victory and bowl bids have been the only way to glory, even at the expense of lower standards of fair play. Glory has come to'Hillsdale without its going to a bowl. It has shown the "proper spirit," following our President, Dr. Hatcher's, advice recently given at the Michigan "football bust" in Detroit. Hillsdale can be proud that it has rejected "football madness" and has placed the sport in the "proper setting in the college and American community." --DICK CRAMER IT ISN'T supposed to be known outside. the White House, but Assistant President Sherman Adams has decided to ditch the embattled Surgeon-General and scapegoat of the Salk snafu, Dr. Leonard Scheele. Adams already has Scheele's successor in mind - Dr. Jack Masur, Chief of Public Health's Medical Services. Dr. Scheele became a front-page figure during the controversy over the Salk anti-polio vaccine. Oveta Culp Hobby, then Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, ;tried to pin the blame on Scheele for the bad batches of vaccine that hit the public. * * * WHILE THE Public Health Serv- ice was responsible for testing the vaccine, the fact is that Scheele had urged Mrs. Hobby to begin preparing months before. At the last minute she was responsible for Pushing the Salk vaccine to the public and actually got sore when newsreels and photographers were not able to take pictures of her on schedule because Scheele urged more time. Before the controversy died down, however, Scheele's name was dragged through the headlines, and now he'll be dropped as Pub- lic Health Chief when his term expires in March. ** * MEANWHILE, Scheele has got wind that he may lose his job, and is doing his best to ingratiate himself with the Republicans. For he attended a ceremony in Kansas City to watch some subordinates receive the annual Lasker Founda- tion awards for outstanding medi- cal service. Ex-President Truman was in- vited by the foundation to make a non-political speech and Scheele was so nervous about appearing on the same platform with Truman that he ducked out of the cere- mony before his subordinates were honored. If this was supposed to make him a hero to the new Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, it (backfired. Secretary Marion Fol- 5Om, when he heard about Scheele's hasty exit, was not pleased. * *I*f IF YOU'RE trying to figure out your tax cuts for the end of this year and are wondering whether taxes will be lower next year, you can write it down as almost cer- tain that there will be no change. Congress is sure to talk a lot and perhaps vote for a tax cut, but President Eisenhower has given a very private but definite assurance to Secretary of the Treasury Hum- phrey that there will be no tax cut. In brief, Ike has promised to veto any tax reduction voted by Congress. Humphrey's great ambition is to get the budget balanced, and he expects to pull the Treasury out of the red by June 30. Only after this happens will Humphrey con- sider-cutting personal income taxes which will come ahead of corpor- ate or excise tax reductions. * * * POSTMASTER General Sum- merfield of Michigan, the big Chevrolet dealer, brought pressure to get Tom McIntyre fired from the staff of Sen.

(Copyright, 1955, by Bell Syndicate, IncA accommodating "pal" named Ad- olph, can be called profound. And this is its charm. The effect lies In a healthy spoofing of all the crises of life that respectable ladies and gentle- men so cherish. And it is an effect that makes an evening of good en- tertainment. NO REVIEW, however, can be without reservations, and we will not depart from ancient tradition. Bright spots there were, but they did not obliterate some unfortun- ate effects. There was an over-gaiety and awkwardness in supporting roles that jarred with the sureness of the convicts themselves, particular- ly "Papa" Joseph, played by Jay Michael. Some of the actors warm- ed up to their parts as the play progressed, especially in Beth True's rendition of Madame Duc- otel, but Felix Ducotel and Marie Louise could have been made to come off as something more than stock comic repertoire. The carefully prepared stage setting exhibited a conscientious effort, but a little too conscientous. At times you couldn't tell the actors from the wallpaper, * * * WHAT DOES MAKE the play good are its three heros: an eb- bezzler with a flare for eloquence, a wife-murderer with a kindly heart, and a gay blade who happened to have bashed in his stepfather's head with a poker. As the leader of the trio, Jay Michael gives the play its life. Gene Duke as Jules and Lloyd Newman as Alfred provide fine support. The group works well to- gether, while allowing each con- vict a definite personality. The interactions between the convicts are especially good. The brief trial scene, for example-just a few off-hand comments bantered forth between Joseph and Jules- is representative of the play at its best. --Debra Durchslag AT THE MICHIGAN: Big Knife' Compelling BEGINNING clinically with Jack Palance rubbing his head in extreme frustration (as Medic's Richard Boone narrates that Pal- ance portrays a man who sold out his dreams but can't forget them), "The Big Knife" nevertheless is able to rise to moments of com- pelling drama. Arriving in Hollywood as an idealist and an actor's actor, a- ance,sas Charles Castle nee Cass, has become a studio's leading money-maker. Cast consistently in poor but money-making films, Castle has reached a point where his own integrity forces him to attempt a break with the studio to return to Broadway. The studio head, played by Rod Steiger, refuses to allow Castle to leave, blackmailing him with a hit-and-run case that the studio covered up for him. Castle's wife, Ida Lupino, says she will leave him if he remains with Steiger's organization. * E . COERCED by the blackmail threat, he signs a seven year con- tract. His wife leaves him and he approaches a mental crack-up. A girl who was with him during the accident becomes more and more talkative concerning the facts and Castle must be nice to her and keep her quiet. When she continues talking, Wendell Corey, as the studio's fix- er, tells Castle that he must help him murder her. Realizing that, this is the last indignity, Castle, confronts the studio men and in the climactic scene renounces them. The action continues to a foreseeable but believable conclu- sion. * * * DIRECTOR Robert Aldrich has gotten some fine performances and photography from his crew. Pal- ance is close to a manic-depressive, which is about what he is supposed to be, and Ida Lupino is consistent- ly sympathetic and strong as the wife who knew him when he be- lieved in himself and his own idealism. Rod Steiger portrays the studio head exactly as what he is, ruth- less, powerful, contemptible and dedicated to his own way of life.

There is in fact every indi-' cation that these adjectives express qualities which a preponderant majority are looking for in the next president. We need not boggle too much over the definitions. There are lots of things in this world which are hard to define in the abstract and yet are obvious enough in the concrete. Take, for example, an egg. There is hardly an egg-eater in the country who could tell a. press conference what a good egg is. But it is no problem at all to recognize a bad egg. It is just about as easy to recognize an immod- erate, destructive, and partisan politician. If, as we all hope, there is to be honest, serious and public-spirited discussion of foreign af- fairs, there is only one way to go about getting it. That is to see to it that each party nomi- nates the kind of man who does not and who will not stoop to extremism, violence, and' demagoguery. If either of the candidates is the kind of man who thinks that he is entitled to do any- thing to win, no amount of pious talk now will save us from a poisonous campaign. The character of the coming campaign, will, In short, be determined by the character of the candidates. DURING the months to come the country, re- gardless of the campaign, will be hearing a great deal about foreign affairs. That is be- cause a re-appraisal, looking to a revision and a reinforcement in several sectors of our for- eign policy, has become necessary. Our basic commitments to the United Nations, to our allies in NATO, to our neighbors, are not in question. But there is little doubt that we shall have to re-examine and to debate such matters as our German policy, which is perilously near being at a dead end, and certain aspects of our containment policy in the Middle East and South Asia. The overall characteristic of the situation IA that, as of now, there is no clear issue on which Americans are divided and can take their stand and argue their side of the case. The old bi-partisanship consisted of ; coalition of Republicans and Democrats who were for talk. We shall not avoid that kind of talk by exhorting one another to be constructive. The bottom fact of the matter is that neither party and none of the candidates now has the answer to the questions that need to be answered. They are all seeking, or ought to be seeking, an- swers that have not yet been found. The character of the campaign on foreign affairs will in the main be determined by the way the party leaders approach the search for these policies that have not yet been found. The primary responsibility is with the Adminis- thation, with the party in power. If they choose to stand pat, as Mr. Dulles seemed to be doing this week, they will pre- cipitate a severe Democratic assault on the record of the results. Our position abroad has in fact deteriorated. It is easy to prove it. It is known to every disinterested observer. Mr. Dulles will be making the mistake of his life if he stands pat on his policies and the record. The alternative is for the Republicans to' take the lead in recognizing that the world situation has changed and is changing, and that United States policies must be adapted to these new developments. This is not only a sound approach, it is the best political ap- proach. For if the Republicans stand pat, the Democrats have only to criticize. If the Re- publicans re-appraise, review, and prepare to revise, the Democrats have to be "construc- tive," have, that is to say to propose answers to the unanswered questions. ON the Democratic side, the question is also whether they choose to stand pat or wheth- er they put themselves in the position of look- ing honestly for the answers to the new de- velopments. Standing pat for the Democrats means of course standing pat on the Truman record and pretending that everything was going splendidly until the Republicans came in. In my view, the acid test of whether a Democrat is being unpartisan and "con- structive" is whether he admits that at least some of our worst problems today originated in mistakes made by the Democrats. I refer, for example, to the premature at- tempt to re-arm Germany in 1950 which has ruined the promising movement towards a European community, to the irreparable mis- PRE-SEASON PREDICTIONS: Clinker Picked To 1965 A ll-America (EDITOR'S NOTE: The players picked to the Daily All-America will receive Mickey Mouse watches, and in addition will be guest stars on Kukla, Fran and Ollie.) By AL EISENBERG Daily Associate Sports Editor FOR THE last two weeks or so, the nation has been deluged by countless All-American teams. Just about every magazine picks a squad; the only trouble is they pick different players. Every year at this time, also, articles appear (in publications which do not sponsor these "dream teams") denouncing the selection of the All-America squads. We do not intend to enter this terrific controversy because of the obvious national economic implications in- volved. Just in case, however, our read- ers are in favor of these all-star aggregations we have decided to pick a Daily squad. I will not, though, select an All-American team for the 1955 season. It is the opinion of many that our choices might be a bit biased. * * * AS A RESULT, we have decided to choose an All-American team for the season of 1965. Though some may question the validity of my selections we feel The Daily is strong enough to withstand their protests. We will be the first publication to release the '65 ag- gregation and the scoop will be quite a feather in our cap. All year long representatives of The Daily have been scouting the country searching for the top men. Our many friends thlroughout this great football nation have given us many suggestions and tips. Thanks must also be given to Junior ANOTHER GREAT player is Jack Slade. Hailing from Joplin, Missouri, "Killer" Slade has won fame with his flashy play at the fullback slot. He scored 3,987 points in four games. Much praise must be given to his coach, "Little" Munn, who forced the rope-skip- ping professor into giving Slade a passing grade. The youngest man of this star- studded team is seven year old Jack Hotner. Horner completed 158 passes in 160 attempts (his right arm was broken in one game) for 2,345 yards and 78 touch- downs. He hopes to go to Michi- gan because: "Dey could use a passa'." Rounding out the backfield is LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS diminutive Humphrey Clinker. At the right halfback slot for P.S. 100 in Brooklyn this past year, he scored 12 touchdowns, passed for 12 tallies, and notched 12 extra points. He plans to enter the Naval Academy because: "I like to swim." * * * THE ABOVE are just a few of the great members that make up. this great team. At a future date we will release the rest of this team. It is our hope that you will keep our selections in a safe place so that you will be able to refer back to them in 10 years. In this way you will be able to ascertain the validity of our selections. by Dik 8fbler "
