CINEMA GUILD:
'Brave Bulls' Combines
Sport, Powerful Drama
Bullfighting is not a sport; it is an art which displays the courage
of both the bull and the matador. This is the thesis advanced and
proved effectively by Robert Rossen's "The Brave Bulls".
Producer-director Rossen has taken his cameras to Mexico for
the story of a famous bullfighter whose life is haunted by fear. Em-
ploying an exciting cast, a documentary style, and many actual bull-
fight scenes, the film gives a fascinating view of the national sport of
Mexico and the color and frenzy that accompany it.
The plot itself is a deep and probing study of a man who is torn

Ladejinsky Case Points Up
Security System Farce
THIS NATION'S unique system of eliminat-
ing danger, the national security system,
has long been a farce. This week's confession
by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson
that he was wrong in calling Wolf Ladejinsky
a security risk simply puts an o. . cial tag on it.
Benson further admitted that the case had
provided him with some new ideas on security
which he passed along to the President. What
these ideas were, he did not say. Evidently
they have not yet been adopted, for the secur-
ity system is still just as misguided and there-
fore as ineffective as the Ladejinsky case dem-
onstrates.
- The facts of the Ladejinsky case show rath-
er clearly why the security system is ineffec-
tive. He had worked for four years as a State
Department expert on farm matters in Tokyo,
several times receiving security clearance for
his sensitive job.
When his job was transferred to the Agri-
culture Department, his new employer checked
up on the State Department and decided
Dadejinsky was a security risk.
EVEN FOR A typical security case, the rea-
sons for the new label on Ladejinsky were
unbelievably irrelevant. He was "Russian-born"
and "lacked su .cient American background
for the job." As for the former, it hardly seems
plausible that a man's birthplace can be con-
sidered an indicastion, by itself, of his loyal-
ties. Some New Yorkers hate the Yankees.
As for the latter, he was given the Tokyo
job for the specific reason that he was an
expert on Asian farming. Japan's farm prob-
lems. obviously needed someone who knew
something about them, rather than a mis-
placed hot-shot from the United States with
methods inapplicable to Japan's farming. This
consideration lends a certain foolishness to
Benson's second reason.
Not even Benson could support his judgment
on Ladejinsky when put to some questioning
on it..And public o.. cials do not ordinarily
back down readily.
HE Ladejinsky case was such a gross in.
Justice that even the government had to
admit it. And countless others have lost their
jobs ,or have been suspended in an agonizing
state of anxiety for several months because
they had been tagged security risks on the
same kind of basis as those involved in the
Ladejinsky case.
A government stumbling around on its pro-
cedures almost to the point of blushing over
its own ineffectiveness may seem an amusing
spectacle, if it were not for the damage it has
caused. The up-shot is a generally useless se-
curity system that weeds out "security risks"
who are not even in a position that affects
security and who are later rescued from the
label anyway.
Meanwhile, the real security risks live on,
unnoticed by busy security investigators and
encouraged by the crumbling morale caused

Educati
EDUCATION is a process which involves more
than instruction.
Close personal relatinships between the
instructor and the studentxare invaluable. Of
course, here at Michigan, with 20,000 students
goir through the paces every day such a
relationship is in most cases becoming obso-
lete.
One of the most serious effects of this
new system of education" is the feeling on
the part of most students of a loss of direction.
Which way to turn, what program to elect,
where and how fast to go are problems that
plague most students.
Students, most especially students, are fal-
lible. The University is not recognizing this,
or if it is, it is accepting it all with helpless
resignation.
IT IS NOT enough to outline a series of pro-
gram studies to an incoming freshman,

by the ignorant persecution of innocent men.
NOW THAT Benson has confessed, it seems
that the government is paying lip service
to its fallibility, but has not really accepted it;
and is therefore doing nothing about it.
If the Administration were sincerely more
interested in protecting our security than in
computing new "security risk" totals for use
during the next election, it would save this
nation the embarrassment of a Ladejinsky
case.

A Big Cheer For
Girl Cheerleaders
AFTER watching last Saturday's game we
suggest that the idea of an all-male
cheerleading squad be abandoned.
Despite the firm traditions of the University
which in the past relegated women to a sec-
ondary role they have forged ahead and it
seems only a matter of time until they invade
the football sidelines.
In view of their potential ability to stir
apathetic rooters we think the time has come.
Anyone suggesting such a move several years
ago would have been labeled the worst type of
radical. But now there may be a chance. After
all, women suffragists have been storming in
the front door of the Union and getting away
with it-why not this?
SOMETHING patterned after the "pom-pom
squads" of other big ten schools might be
just the stimulant needed to evoke a response
to the now-futile arm waving of the male
cheerleaders.
Efforts of present cheerleaders, although
outstandng, go largely unnoticed, judging from
last Saturday. Spectators at last year's North-
western, Illinois and Michigan State games
(all three use female cheerleaders) were very
attentive to cheerleading antics.
Girl cheerleaders would be entertaining,
pleasant to look at and, we suspect, better
suited to the task at hand.
We have nothing to lose by giving them a
chance anyway.

allow him to make up his mind as to his course,
and let it go at that. Certainly the advisor,
always aware of the immense throng of people
he must still see, is willing to answer most
questions.
But how can the freshman say: "Pro-
fessor, I just don't know what to do. There
are so many fields, so many possibilities, all
almost as good as the other-I wish we could
talk this thing over for hours."
It is minutes, not hours that advisors must
deal with, and too often even these are scarce.
FOR some reason, the University has felt it
sufficient in most departments of its liter-
ary school to assign one professor the job of
preparing programs for its concentrates. This
instructor, concientioushand active as he may
be, certainly cannot hope to understandthe
problems and particular conflicts of hundreds
of students. Each student is different, some
serious, some not; some anxious and worrying,
some clear and directed.
Yet all students crave some personal under-
standing from someone who can help them
overcome their problems. And too often they
realize that the advisor doesn't recognize them
--even after many conferences.
The University cannot hope to take pride
in sending some 4,000 students out into the
world each year with a degree, if all it has
provided are facilities and courses. Too often
the graduate carries a feeling of bitter regret
at "not having known" about a particular
course of action.
between the desire for fame andt
present in his life. Luis Bello,
strongly played by Mel Ferrer, en-
joys a life of luxury and admira-
tion as a leading matador until he
is gored, not seriously, in the ring.
From then on his life is in con-
stant suspension as his mind slow-
ly, steadily begins to crack. In his
emotional state, he feels he must
prove his bravery to the fickle
public, his friends and himself
although his fear and cowardice
steadily increase.
The relationships between Bello
and the other characters in the
film are conflicting and complex.
He must prove himself brave to a
shallow woman he worships; must
prove himself strong to a younger
brother who idolizes him, must
prove himself worthy to his man-
ager and friend, and must main-
tain his position with the public.
At last the strain is too much
for him and he becomes violent.
Along with Ferrer's stylized yet
moving portrayal of the complex
Bello, there is an excellent per-
formance of the tight lipped,
shrewd and animal-like manager
by Anthony Quinn whose under-
playing forms a sharp contrast
to Ferrer's work. Eugene Inlesias
gives a warm and sympathetic
performance -in the role of the
younger brother, andrthere\ are
good performances in lesser roles
by a large cast of Mexican actors.
With amazing stark photo-
graphy, authentic scenes of the
frienzed people of the corridas and
pulsating flamenco rhythms un-
derlying the scenes added to the
plot, "The Brave Bulls" emerges
as a powerful film.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:r
No Change in Cabinet Likel
-BY DREW PEARSON
HMERE ARE SOME of the things
likely to happen inside the
Cabinet while President Eisen-
hower is convalescing:
1. There are bound to be some
important differences over Rus-
sia. Secretary Dulles has made
sour faces privately over Ike's at-
tempt to get along with the Rus-
sians. Vice President Nixon has
sided with Dulles, and even made
a speech which knocked down
some of the "Summit" goodwill.
Nixon made his political reputa-
tion as a Russian-baiter and will,
continue that way inside the Cab-
inet.
But men close to Ike in the
White House, such as Harold Stas-1
sen, Sherman Adams, and Nelson
Rockefeller, who know how the
President feels about the impor-
tance of peace, are certain to tan-
gle with Dulles and Nixon. This
may prove quite a battle.
2. There will be little chance of
tax cuts this year. Secretary of
the Treasury Humphrey, though
anxious for tax cuts, is determined
to balance the budget. His word
will be law.
3. More defense cuts.
* * *
AGAIN GEORGE HUMPHREY
is likely to have his way about
cutting the defense budget fur-
ther. Despite the fact that Pen-
tagon generals are up in arms and
Senate Democrats threaten to
vote the money anyway, the
Treasury Secretary will probably
win out in his demand for less
spending.
In general, there will not be too
much upheaval in the Cabinet or
around the White House during
Eisenhower's absence. He had
been away more than any other
recent president, and had used the
general staff system of delegating
authority.
* * *
ORDINARILY, the man who
would emerge as the heir appar-
ent to Eisenhower during his
weeks or convalescence would be
the young Vice President schedul-
ed to fill his shoes in case of
death.
But political prognosticators
who have already picked Nixon as
the Republican nominee for 1956
forget one thing. Nixon won't be
able to carry his own state of
California at the GOP convention
in San Francisco. For the boy
wonder who shot to fame on the
issue of the pumpkin papers and
Communists-in-government made
some powerful enemies during his
quick climb to the top.
Three of these happen to be
the Governor of his state, Good-
win Knight, who will control the
California delegation in '56; the
Republican leader of the Senate,
Bill Knowland, who will help him
control it; and the Chief Justice
of the United States, Earl War-
ren, who, while out of politics, has
a way of making his views known
back in his home state.
These three have no reason to
love Nixon.
KNOWLAND AND WARREN in
particular remember all too vividly
how, during the Chicago conven-
tion in 1952, Knowland was ap-
proached by Senator Taft with
the proposal that he be Vice
President on the Taft ticket in
lreturn for switching California's
huge bloc of delegates to Taft.
Few young Senators have been
taken up to a more tempting
mountain. If he had accepted, he
would be President of the United
States today. For Taft would have
been elected and Taft is now
dead.
But Knowland didn't accept.
He stood fast behind his old
friend, the Governor of Cali-
fornia. Meanwhile, young Nixon
who had been vociferous in his
public avowals of loyalty to War-
ren, was busy behind the scenes
trying to scuttle him. And on the
belief that he could deliver the
California delegation, Nixon got
the coveted no. 2 spot on the Ei-
senhower ticket.
In the end, he didn't - deliver.
He couldn't. But he got the spot
anyway, and is now Vice Presi-
dent of the United States.
But the other Californians
whom he double-crossed will nev-
er forget or forgive. And Gov.
Goodwin Knight, himself a strong
contender for the Presidency, is
in their camp today.

BIGGER AND BIGGER AND BIGGER:
TV Ready for 'Spectacular' Year
By ERNEST THEODOSSIN
Daily Movie critic
TELEVISION producers have
come up with new medicine to
cure their low-view ratings of last
summer.
They call it "Spectaculars "
The term "Spectacular," coined
by Max Leibman to describe elon-
gated, high budget productions
that appear every three or four
weeks, has been around for a year
now. Last season, Leibman put on
90 minute, revamped versions of
old time operettas "The Merry
Widow," "Desert Song," "Connec-
ticut Yankee"). None of these
achieved special recognition.
THIS SEASON, while the label
remains, the emphasis is under-
going a change, with new stars
making first appearancese, pro-
ductions of recent Broadway
shows, and national debuts of im-
portant films.
One of the reasons for these
changes is that subscription tele-
vision has been bouncing around
like a nervous triggerman, ready
to shoot down commercial pro-
ducers.
The programs planned for the
15-6sePaon are ffIPrinz e1ver-
own dramas, "Blithe Spirit" and
"Peace in Our Time."
Producer Paul Gregory will be
presenting a number of shows,
among them his recent hit, "The
Caine Mutiny Court Martal."
Words-and-music men Arthur
Schwartz and Howard Dietz have
done a new musical, comedy,
"Wonderful World," especially for
television.
* * *
JOSE FERRER will be appear-
ing in "Cyrano de Bergerac" and
Rosaline Russell in "Wonderful
Town."
Even film producers are getting
into the act. Most of the major
Hollywood studios have their own'
shows. The programs will con-
centrate on scenes from previous
movies or live adaptations of old-
er films. Behind-the-scenes fea-
tures, advertising current releases,
will play an important part in
movie house selling.
British film producers are ex-
perimenting with debuting their
American releases on television, a
practice which may revolutionize
the cinema world. Rex Harrison
will be seen in "The Constant
Husband" and Laurence Olivier's
"Richard III" will receive a spe-
especially sot his year bekuzz ctu-
ation aref ar above yourus- your
pelling, spacinga ndpunual high
standards.

To the Editor:
Sure, move Block "M" to the
enduzone seats. Then the follow-
ng Saturday move it right out of
the stadium. After all, who wants
to see what a "poor job the card
wavers are doing."
Then the following week, dis-
band the band. Above all, remove
as much color as possible from the
games; it may distract our team.
Also cut out the cheering so the
varsity can hear signals.
As a clincher to the plan, close
the stadium and show all games
on TV, then everyone can sit on
the "golden 50."
Bill Niemann
Just Pay a Buck.. .
To the Editor:
Perhaps a freshman's commen-
tary on Mr. Lewis' letter referring
to Block "M" as "bad luck" for
upperclassmen is not entirely
ethical, but I do believe that Mr.
Lewis, upperclassman that he is,
could be straightened out on a
few points himself.
From my talks with upperclass-
men I have found, among other
things, that there is not a bad
seat in that stadium. As a matter
of fact, with good pair of binocu-
lars and a little patience the end
zone can become the fifty yard
line. Technically, it doesn't matter
where one sits-hehcan still see
Kramer intercept that pass.
Block "M" is primarily for en-
tertaining the opposing side-. It
wants to be seen and consequently
is placed on or about the thirty
five yard line. If it were in the
end zone the psychological atten-
tion-getting factor would not be
as great seeing that spectators
would have to turn their heads to
see the show.
Thus: "What is that yellow and
blue block way down there in the
end zone. Can't see it. What a
mixed up mess this is. They should
put it where people can SEE it."
Or, conversely speaking: "How
about that flashcard section on
the thirty five. Pretty sharp. That
should boost Michigan's spirit
