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).

In order to accomplish this "sensational" feat, a shapely, part caucasian, part oriental bar own- er is engaged to conduct a guided tour through the Indochinese Jungles - right to the entrance of the obscure tunnel. She knew her way around! THE HERO is a husky, arro- gant, proud type man who plays the dual role of soldier and heel, Called Johnny Brock by' his inti- mates, he had once upon a time married the shapely guide, who is aptly called "Lucky Legs." Upon the birth of their son, he promptly leaves her because the baby looks completely Chinese and this doesn't fit into Johnny's picture of an ideal family. Well, anyway, ;Johnny and Lucky unwillingly are thrown to- gether on this mission-Lucky for the sake and safety ofI her five- year-old son and Johnny for the sake of who knows. The rest is obvious. Contrary to what the State's marquee tells you, Nat "King" Cole does not have the lead in this movie. He plays a secondary role of a soldier armed with guts and a voice. Though not "start- lingly dramatic" as the recorded voice would have you believe, the "King" does a credible job in an incredible story. * * S GENE BARRY, the hero, is rather mediocre. But what can you expect working with a less than mediocre plot? And as for the heroine, Angle Dickenson, all she has in her fa- vor is the cut of her body. What's more, it was very difficult to pic- ture her as the mother type she vainly attempts to be. The star of the movie is the little five-year-old half-caste. Why? He only has one line to say, and he says it well. -Donna Ranson 'r ' Asa.

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.

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 good lines, Desk Set fails to be consistently amusing. * * * IT HAS its moments, and may- be the moments are enough if one is just looking for an evening away from deep thoughts and the world-shaking traumas produced py finals. Onersuch moment is the movie's answer to those who try to re- place human intellect with elec- tronic equipment.

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.
