I rroDAY'S GENERATION, according to "The Nation" is composed of "The 'Careful' Young Men." We take it easy; we don't go out on limbs, we're concerned with being like other people. Young people's quest for security has never been greater. Why? The depression and the war years had a lot to do with it. We weren't around except for the tail end of the depression, and most of us re- member the horror of World War II only vaguely. But our parents remember it; remem- ber it most vividly. We have been bred to a horror of poverty and the violence of war to the point where we will do almost anything to avoid them; even forget that the solution lies perhaps not with avoiding them, btit doing something about them. Current prosperity and the present adminis- tration have a lot to do with it too. Very few people are making an enormous amount of money, but most of them are getting along fairly well. Even college professors, says one of them, can afford two cars. And the force of President Eisenhower's tran- quilizing personality beclouds issues such as Hungary and the Middle East. We glance over the headlines, assume that Dulles has every under control, and turn to the sports pages. People are satisfied; none of these things touch them personally. Current emphasis on "adjustment" is an- other factor. The social sciences have preached it and we believe it, Anyone who has an idea or a thought that might be considered danger- ous to "the greater good" either keeps his mouth shut or runs the risk of being ostracized. What's more, McCarthy contributed his bit-now any- one who voices a liberal opinion automatically earns for himself the label of "red." I'HE SPIRIT OF LIBERALISM which flour- ished in American colleges and universities in the Thirties and Forties seems on its way out-from both, the pressure for adjustment, and because of McCarthy. But the primary rea- son is lack of a cause. Liberalism can't grow when it doesn't have any causes, and today's liberals, in a state of current prosperity, are hard put to find a cause, Even integration is a dead issue-the liberals feel it is only a matter of time until the South capitulates. Many Southern towns have already done it quietly; the Clintons are few and far. between. Civil liberties is a cause, but one almost al- ways associated with American Communists, and it seems doubtful that such a fight can ever be won, given the stigma attached to it. Even American conservatism, an old and often highly intellectual tradition, seems strangely sterile-today, in our middle-of-the- road world, it's become difficult to tell left-wing conservatives from right-wing liberals. MANY PEOPLE believe that there is nothing wrong with the middle of the road-an the contrary, it keeps us out of trouble. Today's col- lege generation, say some professors, shows sur- prising maturity and deliberation. It is con- cerned with family responsibilities, making money (not a lot, but a comfortable amount), keeping out of trouble. And they are less tor- tured than their forebears, and happier. There's certainly nothing wrong with people being happy, but it would seem that, in the search for it, this generation has thrown away many things perhaps more important-our so- cial consciousness. In coping only with the microcosm, we have lost sight of the macro- cosm. What happens to other people doesn't matter very much. The Hungarian Revolution is a good example. The bloody massacre brought forth a storm of editorials, some economic aid to refugees and not much else. It seems likely that twenty or thirty years ago, the Hemingways, the Cum- mings, the Cowleys would have been there. The age of the Italian Ambulance Corps is dead. THE BIGGEST DANGER to this generation is that, while it gains in a superficial sort of nervous, temporary happiness, it will lose its creativity. The spokesmen for our age write of the battles of Madison Avenue, the play- grounds of suburbia. But the spokesmen for our age are not leaders. Perhaps, if there were a leader, a man who would speak out unafraid for what he believed, we would follow him, and be glad of the chance. But is there one among us who is not afraid to speak out? - -TAMMY MORRISON LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Strange and .Subtle Articles? left that morning. Off to New York, where another operator says the traveller has left and, she guesses, is somewhere between Lis- bon and Rome. Next: A private airplane, somewhere between Lis- bon and Rome, and there he is, the busy Mr. Hunter. * * * MR. HUNTER is obviously a very busy man. He is playing golf on the airplane. That is, he is prac- ticing putting. He is also very busy because he is Dean Martin and he is acting without Jerry Lewis, and he has a lot of songs to sing. Well, Mr. Hunter gets to Rome, where he takes over his firm's new acquisition-a large hotel (of course-Ten Thousand Bedrooms). He then meets a pretty young thing who has three sisters and proceeds to fall in love with one, then the other, then the first again. The usual plot complications set in and-naturally-all four girls become romantically involved with someone. The ending is obvious- a quadruple wedding, with the lonely-to-be-parents so overcome with the suddenness of it all they are still not sure which young man married which of their daughters. AS MR. HUNTER, Dean Martin wows 'em with his usual careless, carefree, Perry-Como-like manner. As a member of the "idle rich," he is typical of so many movie gal- lants who have ever seen or thought of the drearier aspects of life. He has nothing to offer. He plays a very boring role. And he sings-at length. Walter Slezak, as usual, is good in a tiny character role. It's a role that brightens the movie quite dif- ferently than the constant focus on sex. But the girls all look good. Anna Maria Alberghetti, Eva Bar- tok, and their sisters are charm- ing. Moreover, you don't have to listen to them. This film would be almost as good without the sound- track. * * * FORTUNATELY for the film, the Roman scenery is interesting and even occasionally represented. Some of the music is even listen- able, particularly a trio in En- glish and Italian with Martin, Slezak and Miss Bartok. And, as usual, Hollywood makes no dis- tinction between the Italian peo- ple speaking English or Italian. Both are intermingled, with little cause for changing from one to the other. But these credits are few and not worthwhile enough to sit through the whole film to see. If they had turned. Jerry Lewis loose in this picture, it would have been something. -Vernon Nahrgang HISTORY will certainly show that both the Hungarian revo- lution and the effort to extinguish it went far beyond the goals origi- nally envisaged. For a short time at least, the revolution for liberty and justice was on its way to becoming a pas- sionate anarchy; the counter-revo- lution, first intended merely as a braking action, turned in to a tyr- anny as bad as that which impelled the revolution. -The Reporter City Elections and Party Politics TOMOR-OW is Ann Arbor's biennial spring election. Local voters will be asked to vote for a mayor and ten councilmen, five local proposals, and numerous state officials. There is one proposal that will not be on the ballots tomorrow, but which we think should be in the near future: that City elections be taken out of party-label politics. Many observers-Republican, Democrats and Independents-who have been spectators to the current campaign .have commented that in- nuendo, rough-and-tumble has been excessive (one man had his business threatened and he blamed it on the Democrats), too many issues have been "red herrings," and the real issues (if any) are indistinguishable. ONE QUESTIONS how many, if any, of the concerns of city government are susceptible to party approaches. Samuel Eldersveld may have some ideas about how garbage ought to be collected but the Democratic party hardly does. Mayor Brown may pride himself on adding $9,000,000 to the City's assessed valua- tion, but this is the Mayor's accomplishment, not a Republican one, and presumably a Demo- cratic mayor would attempt the same feat. City government is essentially an administra- tive, service-type government. Its main jobs are catching crooks and speeders, protecting a man's house from fire, keeping water and elec- tricity owing into that house and sewerage flowing out. Second, partisan elections in council-manager cities is against the trend of the times. In 1956, 86 per cent of the council-manager cities with populations over 5,000 conducted non-partisan elections.

It has been found by researchers that the interests of the "city as a whole" is often sacrificed when the ward system is used. Councils took often defer to the wishes of each ward's representative; giving him a virtu- al veto over any Council action relative to his ward. Also, gerrymandering is facilitated with the ward system. Electing Councils "at large" has proved best. The trend is toward professionalism and ob- jectivity in city government and away from partisanship and its associated "spoils," gerry- mandering, innuendo and issue-making. A DVOCATES of partisan elections offer two arguments, neither of which can be accepted regarding Ann Arbor. They first say local party organizations are the "building blocks" of state and national organizations and that they must have something to do between state and na- tional elections-something to keep them well oiled. To this we must ask, to which is our first concern-to the condition of political parties or to the effectiveness of city government? They also say that constituents aren't well enough informed about the personalities and issues involved and tha~t parties provide for "identification and responsibility." This argu- ment might hold for a metropolis, but in Ann Arbor any citizen who can't spend the time necessary to be reasonably informed on the issuessand candidates has no business at the polls. To expect the political party in power to ini- tiate a move toward non-partisanship would reveal a Pollyanish view of the nature of man, but even political parties can be prodded into moves by a concerned citizenry. -JAMES ELSMAN New Books at the Library Paton, Alan - South Africa in Transition; N.Y., Scribner, 1956.

Pakistan and U.S. Aid To the Editor: STRANGE and subtle articles have been written lately to hoodwink the good-natured and unsuspecting American people into believing that they have in Paki- stan their 'staunchest ally in Asia' in their fight against communism. But it will be a great price that the American people may have to pay if they fail to descry the real purpose and basis of Pakistan's foreign policy, camouflaged, as it is, behind a hazy cloud of anti- Communist fervour. If the fight of the American people be against In- dia, then they do have in Pakistan their strongest friend; but if it be against Communism, they have ev- ery reason to be cautious and wary in their relations with Pakistan. Mr. Suhrawardy, Pakistan's prime minister, had often de- clared in inequivocal terms that the whole policy of Pakistan turn- ed round India and for this reason Pakistan must be a r nember of the Baghdad Pact and the SEATO. It is rather interesting to note that many of the speeches made and articles written in connection with the celebration of Pakistan's first anniversary as a Republic by the 'leaders' of Pakistani student body on the campus harp on India and Ne (hr) utralism rather than on the U.S.S.R. and Communism or on matters more befitting the occasion. The same is true within Paki- stan. As Mr. A. T. Steele, the well- known American correspondent, after a visit to Pakistan, wrote on June 7, 1956 in the New York Her- ald Tribune: "To be sure, Ameri- can arms aid to Pakistan is in- tended solely to strengthen that country's defenses against Com- munism. But anybody who travels much in Pakistan soon finds that the only enemy most Pakistanis take seriously is India. "The average Pakistani thinks very little about the Communist threat if he thinks of it at all His hostility is toward India rather than the Soviet Union. And he as- sumes that in the event of a show- down with India the American military supplies will be drawn upon."~ -Thomas S. David ly Planninr . . . To the Editor: I WAS DELIGHTED to read Mr. Thomas Blue's editorial (Mar. 24) concerning Ann Arbor's may- oralty campaign, in which he em- phasized the need for long-range planning in government. It is indeed difficult to expand the imaginations of the citizenry to plan the environment for which we must inevitably pay taxes. Ap- parently most people prefer the fantastic waste of municipal de- terminism even though they take planning for granted in their re- spective professions, businesses, industries-in their very lives. Much can be done at the Uni- versity level so that future leaders in all fields will be less naive in their approach to government. All of us must face, in one way or another, the mounting prob- lems of social, political and eco- nomic degeneracy in our urban- izing civilization. Tom Michalski, '56A&D Parkig Problem * . To the Editor: UNFORTUNATELY is is neces- sary for many of us to com- mute to the School of Public Health-housing being what it is in Ann Arbor. It is too bad that there is no choice for the students other than feeding the meters every two hours, seven hours a day, five days a week. Even this is not lawful as there is a two hour limit in the metered area. So far the fines have been cheap- er than taxis-although some stu- dents use them. Others live con- venient to buses if they live on north campus. The majority drive. To date my own fines have come to thirty-four dollars. I see no way to avoid additional fines unless the University or City govern- ment give some thought to this problem. Perhaps in your concern with student problems, it might be pos- sible to give more attention to this area. It would be much appreciated by the students. -Marjorie Beers, RN DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the Unversity of Michigan for which the MJ.chigan Daily assumes no editorial responsi- bility.

If you are tuned to channel.2 at that time you will see what promises to be one of the most magnificent, if not the most magnificent production ever seen on television. Tonight marks the culmination of seven months labors by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II and a few thousand other peo- ple who have spent that time pre- paring for an original musical version of "Cinderella." The public's familiarity with the Cinderella story has created an enormous responsibility which pro- ducer Richard Lewine and director Ralph Nelson are quick to ac- knowledge in staging the hour- and-one-half musical. The two are tackling a score of problems which they could side- step with a lesser-known story. "But," says Lewine, "viewers ex- pect to see a pumpkin changed into a gold carriage, and mice be- come horses. They know that Cin- cal but traditional Cinderella story "musts." a * * THE USE of two television cam- eras simultaneously will be syn- chronized to perfect the pumpkin- into-carriage magic. And the mice will become horses in the same way. An ingenious costume design for Cinderella Julie Andrews (of "My Fair Lady" fame) will allow her to make split-second changes frcm her servant clothes into her ball gown and back again. In order for Fairy Godmother Edith Adams (Mrs. Ernie Kovacs, Daisy Mae in L'l Abner) to enter magically through locked doors and windows Nelson has staged her dialogue with Cinderella so that they will appear to be talking face to face but will actually be at oppo- site ends of the studio. The New York studio from which the show will originate would have to be five times as large if the nu- merous settings by William and Jean Eckart were to be used ad- joining each other. Nelson points out that the public expects to see Cinderella's home, the royal ball- room, the kingdom it general, plus the carriage ride and Cinderella's cially dyed orchir chiffon em- printed twice with the royal de- sign for the ballroom settings. And in the royal gardens, where Prince Charming Jon Cypher sings one of the musical's fourteen selections to Cinderella, 72,'00 specially painted leaves have been affixed to formal apple trees, which bear ex- actly 700 perfect apples. * *~ * IF YOU'RE INTERESTED in more vital statistics, Callahan also had to stock a flower market with some 800 blossoms and a fruit stall with crates and crates of ar- tificial pears, peaches, bananas and oranges. A sky of 300 15-watt stars and another sky of rhinestones on velvet are among the show's re- quirements, as are four separate staircases used throughout the many settings. All in all 115 opulent costumes will be worn and the Eckarts, noted Broadway designi' team, call their Cinderella costumes "Middle-Make Believe" in style. Actually they are based on various fashions of the periods from 1795 to 1830, adapted freely to fit best the fairy-tale excitement of the show New York in mid-Februar to be- gin work on the size 71/2B "glass" shoe, and the results, after four weeks of experiment and exasper- ating labor, are three pairs of slip- pers, costing $300 per pair. It was decided that three pairs would be ree 'e.l be-,- e one pair must fit Julie Andrews; one must be much smaller than her stepsis- ters could wear, and a third pair for Julie is made with leather soles so that she can dance in them. Actually, it would hardly -uire the search of the kingdom to locate the proper owner for stepsisters Kaye Ballard and Alice Ghostly and stepmother Ilka Chase all wear 72B and could all easily fit into the glass slipper. * * * RODGERS AND Hammerstein report that "The amount of music we have written for 'Cinderella' is perhaps more than we have written for a relative amount of time in a Broadway show." (six songs, three instrumental selec- tions and many segments of mu- sical dialogue, all of course orig- inally created for tonight's show)..
