FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1957 NIGHT EDITOR: WILLIAM HANEY United States Policy in the UN: Rights and Wrongs V ii1m 00- ll ,-4 / m y.,, i - t Z E 4.01, AT HILL AUDITORIUM: Byron Janis Delivers Varied Piano Program BYRON JANIS' program last night in terms of the music selected was a titanic one. It began with Haydn's Sonata in D Major, a Schumann Arabesque, and a Schubert Impromptu (Op. 90. No. 2). 'The main item was the whole of the Pictures at an Exhibition by Mourssorgsky, and ended with a Sonatine by Ravel and an assort- ment of Nocturnes, Mazurkas etc., by Chopin. Mr. Janis' pianistic vritues are, first, a masculine, vigorous touch on the keyboards, and secondly, a bright, hard piano tone which is cold and clear. He is also an expressive person, willing to manipulate the musei to get the greates amount of feeling out of the music. And this was the downfall of his music last night. It let to a serious Y7ILE the Administration's Peace Dove hov- ered through President Eisenhower's ad- dress to the nation Wednesday night, his re- marks on Israel's repeated violation of Egyp- tian territory pointed up this country's double standards with regard to United Nations' policy. The President's remarks were directed at Is- rael's contin'ued maintenance of troops around the Gulf of Aqaba and in' the Gaza Strip. The Israelis' repeated refusal to obey UN resolu- tions calling for their evacuation of the Egyp- tian territory prompted the special radio- television speech. Looking separately at Israel's invasion of Egypt, Mr. Eisenhower's remarks were well- grounded. Arguing that the UN should exert pressure to force Israeli withdrawal, the Pres- ident said giving Israel the absolute guaran- tees it wants for future protection from Egyp- tian retaliation would be rewarding aggres- sion and turning "back the clock of interna- tional order." HOWEVER, when past United States stand, in the UN are reviewed, this policy appears to be inconsistent and hypocritical. While we are now insisting upon sanctions against a small aggressor, similar action was not re- quested in protest to the Soviet Union's recent aggression in Hungary. Such inconsistency makes it appear that the United States has one policy for smaller na- tions and another for larger ones. Moreover, little was done with regard to sanctions when Arab countries continually penetrated Israeli soil, actions which eventu- ally provoked all-out Israeli retaliation. We agree with President Eisenhower that the Egyptian violations "constitute no justifi- cation for the armed invasion of Egypt by Is- rael." But we believe United States' policy should be applied consistently and fairly to all nations. COMMENTING upon Russia's refusal to obey UN resolutions, and the bearing this has on sanctions on Israel, the President said this was "a case where the proverb applies that- two wrongs do not make a right." We believe that United States position with regard to Israel is "right," but we think it inconsistent with our stand on the events leading up to the invasion of Egypt and on Soviet suppression in Hungary. We think the latter positions "wrong," in light of our stand on Israel, and we would revise Mr. Eisenhow- er's statement to read that "a right does not lessen the seriousness of two wrongs." Israel should be forced to quit Egyptian ter- ritory. And in order that the United States does not commit any more "wrongs," it should insist upon adequate protection for the na- tional rights of Israel, and show by its own actions the desirability of an international law, applicable to all countries, large and small. --RICHARD SNYDER Editor AWE marring of his music, including,.E curiously, the selections by Cho- pin. EXPRESSIVE playing of piano music is a great thing, but when ritards and dynamic changes af- fect the musical phrases and, as a result, the rhythmic progres- sions are distorted and weakened, the result is disintegration of the music. Mr. Janis also physically 'emotes to certain portions of the music. Then, his inauspicious physical movements, especially a spastic kind of jerking rhythm reappears in the music being played, fre- quently injecting a disruptive kind of syncopation. Similar distortions occurred in the Haydn Sonata, where the first movement, played very rapdiy, lost its melodic continuity from the pianist's constant fussing with the dynamics. A phrase played forte was immediately fol- lowed by one in piano, in echo fashion, and this staccato effect broke the drama inherent in the harmonic tensions. On the other hand in "The Old Castle" from the Pictures, the Schumann "Arabesque" and the Chopin "Impromptu," the melo- dies had a curious way of coming to end in a sudden ritard, at the same time fainting nway to in- audibility. This made the music affected and flaccid, depriving it of virility. THE PIANIST'S note on the program informed us that the score of the Pictures at an Exhi- bition was played from a combi- nation of many editions. This makes it difficult to comment on the extent to which Mr. Janis realized Moussorgsky's score. However, I missed some of the psychological subtleties- of cer- tain of the sections; like the bit- ing sarcasm of "Goldberg and Schmyle", and the eerie terror of the middle section of "Baba Yalga." The biggest disappointment was the complete lack of majesty and power in the "Great Gate of Kiev", though to compensate, the center section was delivgred with sentiment. -A. Tsugawa rk3*E %5M ,1- 0 I r-Dr Challenge of Indian Neutralism WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND: Letter to Drew By DREW PEARSON THE CIVIC THEATRE: Franco-A merica n Product Flavorless Though "Gigi," the Anita Loos play which opened at the Lydia Mendelssohn last night, is based on a Colette story of the same name, this reviewer could find no mention of the French authoress in the program, and almost as little credit done to her in the adaptation. The combination of Loos and Colette, on second thought, could be expected to produce a peculiar hybred, for while Colette was a writer who handled characters in delicate situations with a matchless sensi- tivity, Anita Loos has become famous for being simultaneously indeli- cate and cute. The result, for admirers of both, is something like a INDIA'S NEUTRALISM, as explained by Prof. Robert Crane in a recent Town Talk lecture, represents "a challenge to our interpretation of world affairs." The refusal of India's leaders to commit themselves either to the East or the West represents an even greater challenge to India, for it requires infinite balance and finesse to withstand the pressures of the "committed" world. One of the reasons for India's neutralism given by Prof. Crane is its desire to combat communism through "conditions which facili- tate its spread, such as poverty." He added that India feels it cannot afford the "luxury" of military alignment. It may appear' that India has taken a firm stand and has found a third answer to the East-West question. Yet, the strength of this stand may not depend on the validity of the reasoning behind it but rather on its effective- ness in actual practice. AS HAS BEEN SHOWN only too well in the past, free nations attempting to reduce poverty have had to compete with Communism; which professes to solve this problem more efficiently. India's leaders may not realize that their attempt to combat poverty may ward off Communism if achieved, but until that pur- pose is fulfilled Communism remains ever ready to sneak in from nearby Russia and Red China. Furthermore, today the "luxury" of military alignment appears to be one means for weaker nations to hold on to another "luxury"-. sovereignty. India may feel that she might lose her independence by aligning herself with the West, a civilization she has fought so long to with- stand. Yet, India's independence may be threatened far more by an "uncommitted" stand, where Indian leaders have left them- selves open to influence from both East and West. India may also feel that the United States is not "mature enough" to understand her posi- tion, yet in order to keep her balance India must be equally as mature. The recent Kashmir question, in which India refused to accept the territory's plebiscite to join Pakistan, illustrates that India may not be as mature as she wishes that America would be. AN ANSWER to the reason behind India's neutralism may lie in another "ism" -- nationalism. And the paradox of India's stand lies in the fact that the reasoning behind it threatens to destroy the balance of this non- alignment. If India beileves that military alignment is a "luxury," then she chances to lose another more expensive luxury-sovereignty and free- dom. -JAMES BOW Vital Service And a Good Deal A VITAL service to University students is going on quietly and efficiently. Every Thursday, from 8 to 12 and 1 to 5, the Health Service gives polio shots for a slight charge of sixty-five cents to cover costs. The time lapse for students getting shots is about five minutes, from the time the health card is picked up until he walks out of the building rolling down his sleeve, Only strange thing about this essential pro- tection against a dread disease, given quickly and inexpensively, is the few people getting it. Seems funny so many people would pass up such a good deal. --R.H. (Editor's Note: Drew Pearson's col- umn on Washington's Birthday takes the form of a letter to his grandson Drew Arnold.) DEAR DREW, This should reach you about Washington's Birthday, and you won't be going to school. Lucky guy. I wish I were like you and didn't have to write a column to- day. But my schoolteachers - in this case quite a few editors - think I should work regardless of the Founder of our Country. Per- haps they will let me off with' a letter to you instead of a column. When I was your age I didn't pay much attention to George Washington's Birthday except that it gave me a day off from school and my brother used to try to chop me down with a papier mache hatchet. It took me quite awhile to understand how great a man George Washington was. His press relations weren't very good at that time. He wasn't able to hire B.B.D. and O. or any of the high-powered advertising agen- cies of Madison Ave. He didn't even have a Jim Hagerty hand- ling his press relations, and the newspapers really went after him before he retired. But he not only steered this country through its toughest peri- od, he left us some great princi- ples. One you talk about in school is how he told the truth about chopping down the cherry tree. And despite some people's idea that this was a myth, I am glad- this is taught and remembered today. Because you can't run a country, or a business, or a fam- ily, or even yourself without tell- ing the truth. * * * THE BUSINESS your grand- daddy is in has to worry a lot about the truth. We are always trying to track down the truth, and sometimes the truth is very hard to report. Whole batteries of press relations men are hired in the government and by business firms to conceal the truth, or in- fluence the truth, or gloss over the truth. This makes it difficult to tell the truth. Nevertheless to ignore the truth can be just as bad as not telling the truth. When a newspaperman, for instance, omits the truth in order to curry favor with a bureaucrat or the White House, he is, in effect, ly- ing to the public. For instance, when the Asso- ciated Press described George Al- len as a "crony of President Tru- man" and as "an occasional golf- ing partner of President Eisen- hower," ignoring the fact that Al. len was a partner in the Presi- dent's Gettysburg Farm, also was his partner in a Howard Johnson restaurant, has been a bridge- playing partner during the long Georgia vacation and on many other occasions, then the AP is not fulfilling its trust to the pub- lic. Or when newspapermen fail to report that George Allen, who was chairman of the Yemen Oil Com- pany, was with the President dur- ing his vacation when the Presi- dent was making demands on Is- rael, again they are neglecting important truth. * * C THE TRUTH is not always on the surface. It can't be scooped up like cream off the surface of milk. Sometimes it has to be drilled, dynamited, blasted out of plies of bureaucratic red tape and batteries of press officials to get the real facts. Sometimes also you make mis- takes. You think you are telling the truth, but you find you were wrong. I made one the other day about Sen. John Pastore of Rhode Island when I listed him as vot- ing for the Natural Gas Bill. This was a foolish mistake, for he voted just the other way. I shouldn't have made the mistake, and I have now apologized to Sen. Pastore. Of course you won't understand this, but when you get a little older and study the fascinating history of the United States you will. Remember when you get the day off from school, it's not just to give you more time to play, but because George Washington taught us a great lesson - telling the truth. Love, Grandpa (Copyright 1957 by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) mixture of gin and tea. The story of a young girl, last of wish to launch their protege into found so rewarding, is one which to be anything but a burlesque, must be handled in a light, but highly refined manner. Gigi turns the scheming of her grand- mother and aunt into a triumph of her own, but to interpret this outcome as an instance of virtue rewarded is discredit Colette with Anglo-Saxon morality. Furthermore, the performance added several more jolts to the al- ready jarring script. The art of interpretation seemed hopelessly lost as Beth True played the role of Mme. Alvarez, Gigi's grand- mother, in the style of a faded Chicago bawd, and Diane Marcus' Gigi was a creature of gasps and squeals, totally lacking the ma- turity to make believable her de- cision to break her training rules. While the story is totally French, the Gallic spirit was sad- ly missed. Only in the perform- ance of Winnefred Pierce as Gigi's aunt, was there some evidence of the elegant refinement necessary to bring the, story into perspective and the play up to standard.

The. resolution, drafted in the attorney gen- eral's office and approved by Gov. Marvin Griffin, accuses Chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justices Black, Douglas, Reed, Frank- furter and Clark of "high crimes and mis- demeanors." - It asserts the six justices "are guilty of at- tempting to subvert the Constitution of the United States . . . and of giving aid or comfort to the enemies of the United States." The "crimes": These six judges played lead-. ing roles in the ruling on sedition and segrega- tion cases. DISSENTING Rep. Raymond Reed, member of the Georgia Assembly, told his colleagues, Editorial Staf f RICHARD SNYDER Editor RICHARD HALLORAN LEE MARKS Rditerial Director City Editor Business Staff DAVID SILVER Business Manager MILTON UOLDSTEIN Associate Business Manager "We're making ourselves ridiculous before the world." We heartily agree. "What better way," he said, "could we serve the Communist press than to throw out such a resolution as this, based on unreasonable, un- founded charges." Again, we agree._ When a respected body of supposedly wise and learned American lawmakers have the audacity to accuse, in effect, of treason, six members of the highest court in the American judicial system, simply because their personal prejudice has been violated, and their efforts to keep the Negro a "second class citizen" frustrated, serious doubts are raised about the supposed wisdom of said lawmakers. - The evidence suggests that the Georgia As- sembly, not the United States Supreme Court, is guilty of "attempting to subvert the Consti- tution of the United States" and of "giving aid or comfort" to its enemies. The Supreme Court is the ultimate authority in the interpretation of the Constitution. The Court has declared racial segregation in public schools and public transportation unconstitu- tional; its decisions are the law of the land. GEORGIA, along with several other Southern states, has openly defied that law, and taken drastic measures (as interposition and the By VERNON NAHRGANG Daily Staff Writer "REMEMBER, no ashes on the rug, no feet on the table .--" "-and no arms on the chairs." "Do we get started or just sit here and look pretty?" "It's real wood." "It's something, isn't it?" Awed and joking Student Gov- ernment Council members were meeting for the first time in the new SOC-Joint Judiciary council room in the Student Activities Building. In its carpeted splendor and- blue plush armless chairs, the council room compares favorably with-the Dean's Conference Room and even the Regents' meeting room. A visitors' gallery adjoining the council room can be closed off by sliding partition. SGC members also have an ante room for coats and private entrance and exit. SGC's super-secretary, Ruth Callahan of the dean of men's of- fice, had her own trapezoidal desk near the c o un cil table Wednesday as did The Daily. Council members were affected. (The "real wood" remark, re- peated several times, referred to learned that the interviewing and nominating board for the vacant seat on SGC -- filled Wednesday by Ron Shorr -- had not agreed on a nomination. Of the five-man board original- ly appointed by the council, only three persons had served and a fourth was named to the board by SGC's executive council. This action of the executive council was questioned, and SGC went into executive session to settle this and to determine who should fill the vacant seat. Apparently the council worked out its differences and finally agreed on Shorr as a new member of the council. SOC's below-the-board action, however, left many procedural doubts in the minds of constitu- ents and, particularly, council members. MAYNARD Goldman has been appointed to chair SEC's Student Activities Committee, the new group formed last week when the council combined its Coordinat- ing and Counseling, Campus Af- fairs, and Student Representation committees. Mal Cumming '%nd Ron Shorr were then named associate chair- Public Relations Chairman Jan- et Winklehaus is setting up a slate of panelists for the presentation, and the council is hoping for greater student interest than was shown the recent forum on aid to intercollegiate athletics. SGC failed Wednesday to name the student representatives to the newly appointed calendar com- mittee, but it did decide to look into what one of its subcommit- tees is doing in the area of the calendar. SGC may appoint "at least" two students to the new commit- tee, headed by Prof. John C. Kohl. The twelve members of the com- mittee will represent virtually all areas of the University concerned with the academic calendar. A DELEGATION from SGC - President Joe Collins, Treasurer Lew Engman, Scott Chrysler, and administrative wing member Jim Park-visited the Michigan State campus Tuesday and looked into the school's health insurance pro- gram. Chrysler tolds the council Wednesday thatdMSU's program is entirely student-run, open to any student with a program of 12 or more hours, and costs $8.50 per stuldent. such a program here. The Univer- sity is investigating the possibili- ties. "THERE will never be a solu- tion to the Middle East problem so long as we let the Arabs and Jews negotiate it. "We must make a decision and give it to them and make them accept it." James T. Harris, of the Nation- al Students' Association's Foreign Student L e a d e r s h i p Program, shared his views on foreign prob- lems with an unusually attentive SGC Wednesday. Harris, who has traveled ex- tensively in the Middle East, cited the same need that has been asked for again and again, "a more genuine ' and real under- standing of them and their prob- lems." , Harris indicated that students played an important role in such an understanding. He said closer relationships with international students brought "greater under- standing of American students when they (international stu- dents) come to make worldly de- cisions in their own countries." Ten students are now inthe United States under the FSLP. Tom Kano is crrently at the Uni-.
