AT THE STATE:
'China Gate' Follows
Old Film Formula
THE RECORDED VOICE of the State Theatre's telephone service
promised China Gate would be "a sensational story of love and war
in Indochina."
This, perhaps, is to be expected. In actuality, the story is about
love and war in Indochina - with more emphasis on the love angle.
But as for being sensational - uh uh.
In this movie, we find the same old class B film formula of man
plus woman equals love; mix alternately with complications and un-
knowns and somehow rou still come out with love - and a little bit
of martyrdom to boot.
The story takes place during the French-Indochina war (the one
that occurred after the Korean war). It seems the only way the French

In order to accomplish this
"sensational" feat, a shapely, part

er is engaged to conduct a guided

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:
remlin Enoys Belly Laugh.5
By DREW PEARSON
but Wages..

THE KREMLIN must be having
a lot of fun watching the an-
tics of the United States Senate
these days.
Last week, the Senate spent al-
most one whole day harassing and
curtailing the United States In-
formation Agency which combats
Russian propaganda.
Simultaneously, the Kremlin
was doing the following:
1. Staging another World Peace
Conference at Colombo, Ceylon
next month.
2. Sending mobile exhibits of
Hiroshima victims around India
and Southeast Asia to show the
horrors of United States atomic
wars.
3. Preparing for the sixth World
Youth Festival in Moscow in July,
which big delegations of young
Africans will attend - expenses
paid by Moscow.
4. Filling te airwaves with
charges that the United States is
preparing for aggressive atomic
war.
5. Spending 125 million dollars
on documentary films alone, as
against the total United States
Information budget voted by the
Senate of 89 million dollars.
* * *
THE CUT which the Senate
voted in United States Informa-
tion funds was 15 million dollars.
A few days later here is what the
Senate voted for others:
Voted a $30,000 subsidy to give
cheap lunches to senators.
Voted a 100 million dollar in-
direct subsidy to bankers by giv-
ing them government deposits in-
terest-free.
Voted a 30 million dollar sub-
sidy for western miners and min-
ing companies.
Voted various public works
which will help individlual sena-
tors get re-elected, but won't help
wage the cold war against the
Kremlin.
If the Kremlin isn't laughing,
it just hasn't got a sense of humor.
Most conscientious economizer
in Congress is Sen. Paul Douglas
of Illinois, the former economics
professor at the University of Chi-
cago who enlisted in the Marine
Corps as a private at the age of 50.
Douglas economizes with a razor,
not with a meat-ax. Here is part
of his records.
"My purpose in rising is to help
keep Secretary Humphrey's hair
from curling," he said, as the Sen-
ate voted on a seven per cent in-
crease for the personal staff of the
Secretary of the Treasury who
wanted the budget cut. "There is
no better place to do that than
right in his own office."
The Senate, however, overruled
Douglas.
"I propose cutting two million
dollars from the 1958 funds re-
quested for Coast Guard facili-
ties,' continued the persistent Il-
linois Democrat.
* * *
DOUGLAS' fellow senators did
not agree. They preferred to keep
pork in the budget. Sen. A. Willis
Robertson (D-Va.) protested that
his state needed a new Coast
Guard lighthouse station. Charles
Potter (R-Mich.) insisted on new
Coast Guard barracks at Sault
Ste. Marie.
The senator from Illinois next
shifted to a hidden 100 million
dollar bank subsidy in that trea-
sury budget, proposed thatrat
least 10 million be knocked out.
"The amendment which I have
offered would reduce ...,a hidden
subsidy which the treasury now
pays to the banks by making huge
deposits of public funds without
receiving an interest payment in
return," Douglas declared.
"The banks are able to increase
their earnings approximately 100
million dollars a year by these in-
terest-free deposits," Douglas said.
He demanded that tney pay two
per cent. He was overruled.
Douglas next exposed an esti-
mated 185 million dollars in Post
Office subsidies to the railroads
for hauling parcel post and for
surplus baggage-car space for
mail.

MAILBAG - Ambassador Ri-
cardo Arias of Panama - I ap-
preciate your advice pointing out
that the United States did not
buy the Panama Canal Zone, but
rather that Panama granted the
Canal Zone to the United States.
Thus, you point out, the United
States could not sell, or even lease
the Canal Zone, as if it were the
actual owner, nor could it use
the Canal Zone for any purpose
other than the maintenance and
protection of the canal. Thanks
also for the assurance that Pan-
ama will nevei' be a prey to Rus-
sian propaganda and fall for Nas-
serism . .
Correction: Friends of Sen.
Lyndon Johnson have suggested
that I was unfair to him in re-
porting that he deliberately stayed
out of Washington during the re-
cent Democratic dinner, thereby
boycotting the Truman-Stevenson
wing of the Democratic party.
Lyndon's friends point out that he
had not known about the dinner
until March, by which time he
had accepted two conflicting en-
gagements in Texas that he could
not break. However, he purchased
one table of ten $100 tickets or
$1,000; also helped sell, with his
staff, a total of 230 tickets. In
fairness to Sen. Johnson, I am
delighted to present these facts.

Hepburn isn't tired of her job, she
is just tired of chasing Gig Young,

So much for plot; and that's
about all there is. Starting slowly,
the movie begins to be interest-
ing as the two principles have a
duel of wits over cheese sand-
wiches.
From there the scene moves to
a dinner-in-bathrobes bit atthe
heroine's apartment and from
here things become progressively
funnier.
But never quite funny enough.
Whether due to overplaying
pseudo-emotions or underplaying

consistently amusing.

THE PROBLEM of Galens and
its relations with the Campus
Chest Board may again be aired
in a Student Government Coun-
cil battle next Wednesday.
SGC was informed at its last
meeting that Galens had re-
quested calendaring of an all-
campus charity drive for the first
week in December next year. Ga-
lens had been denied permission
for a'drive on campus earlier this
year because it conflicted with
the concept of the chest drive.
There are a great many people
on the Council now who weren't
members the last time the ques-
tion was discussed, so this should
be an especially interesting meet-
ing.
One thing is clear. Galens has
succeeded in laying a most effec-
tive smokescreen. So effective in
fact, that few realize Galens ac-
tually -did those little children
they seemed so concerned about
out of approximately $600.
*; * *
THIS POINT needs to be clari-
fied. Galens argument revolved
f.f - . ..
npr cent of the drive or the r!f-
ference between $7000 and the
amount they collected in their city.
drive, whichever was greater.
Galens didn't have a break
down, of figures last fall, but it
assumed it had previously received
$1000 from the campus and $6000
from the City. In other words, the
maximum SGC would have had
to make up was about $1000. Ga-
lens collected $7000.
As it actually happened, SGC
didn't really throw Galens off
campus anyway. Certainly State
St. and South U. are both in a
very real sense a part of the cam-
pus, and there is little doubt that
Galens was able to reach almost
as many students there as it could
have on the diag.
* * .*
THE IRONIC twist is that "if
Galens does not expressly join in
the Campus Chest effort, it will
receive its percentage of the
drive" . . . In other words, even
though Galens abandoned any
effort to collect money for the
Campus Chest, it was still eligible
for an additional $600, which is 20
per cent of the collnetion. -inw-
who saw the maimed and crippled
children who utilize the Galens'
facilities. It would really be too
bad if the group again did not
lend active support to the Campus
Chest, and even poorer if it didn't
get all the money possible for the
children.
Harlan Givelber, board chair-
man, presented the Campus Chest
report to the Council Wednesday
night, and a most comprehensive
report it was. Rather than hash
over the faults of this past drive,
it looks ahead to things that can
be done next year.
For publicity, it emphasizes that
more attention must be given to
the participating charities. Other
things such as advertising fly-
ers, competition to serve as incen-
tive, and a satisfactory symbol are
suggestions for improvement.
For special events, it recom-
mends another auction, more late
per sales, sale of helium balloons,
and perhaps use of the theatres
(of which the University owns 25
per cent) for special charity show-
ings.
JOHN VWRONA a ..nA F-
Council, he did force Council
members to think more deeply on
problems. By his persistent nega-
tive questioning, he may have
helped the Council to operate
more effectively. It seems that
there are not enough varying atti-
tudes represented on the Council
as it stands now. Dissenters, no
matter what the quality of their
dissent, are essential in a demo-
cratic government to keep the ma-
jority on its toes.
Another report of special inter-
es was Gerald Blackstone's Edu-
cation and Social Welfare presen-
tation. The Education and Social
Welfare Committee is already
looking into an all night study
hall, library hours for Saturday
night and all day Sunday, and the
possibility of having exam sched-
ules printed in the time schedules
to avoid students' getting caught
with four finals In two days.
DEBBY TOWNSEND presented
to thenCouncil the University
Counseling Study Committee re-
port. This committee was set up
by Vice-President Lewis at the
request of SGC.
