Yet, since then, President Eisenhower has been less a leader than ever before in the active days of his four-and-a-half years in the White House. At the same time, there is the definite knowl- edge that President Eisenhower's days are numbered. He has no need to be concerned with reelection because by law the second term is now the last one possible. His own political. future, then, is secondary to that of the party. Perhaps Eisenhower's intention is to keep his concept of "modern Republicanism" sacred from the spoiling effects of everyday political maneuvering. Perhaps, too, the President is purposely becoming more detached from his everyday work load because of his health-at least he is not letting his golf game suffer. Then, too, perhaps the novelty of being presi- dent-after being elected twice and having assurance. of three-and-a-half more years''and. no more-has lost itself from the White House. WHATEVER President Eisenhower's personal reasons for inaction may be, it is obvious that this inaction will not help the rest of his Administration during the coming years, nor will it be of any value to his party-or to the nation-in the remaining days of the 85th and 86th Congresses. With a weak-willed old soldier in the White House, a "team" of bewildered Republican, senators in Congress and a sizeable number of headstrong, outspoken underlings in the Ad- ministration, the remaining days of the much- heralded "four more years" look dim, indeed. -VERNON, NAHRGANG Editor AT RACKHAM: Bach Set Enjoyable STUDENTS and Ann Arborites had a double treat Sunday as the music school faculty-student ensemble performed the six Bran- denburg Concertos of J. S. Bach, in two concerts. This was an ambitious under- taking, considering the difficulty of these works, their virtuoso de- mands, coupled with string quar- tet technique, yet able attention and duty was given them. The afternoon concert consisted of the first, third, and fifth con- certos. Each gave special emphasis to a particular instrument or combination, with quite varied re- sults. There was much nimble, folly, competent hornplay in the first concerto, and Florian Mueller's oboe was customarily beautiful. There were a few hazy spots in the middle movements, cleared up by the delightful rondo-like minuetto finale. * *. * THE THIRD concerto concen- trated on a string ensemble throughout, and was only two movements in length, connected by a short, three-chord adagio. The finale was very exciting,j being one of the climactic mo- ments of the afternoon. Gilbert Ross, violin,hRobertCourte, viola, and Robert Swenson, cello, exhib- ited great feeling which seemed to communicate itself to the other players. Josef Blatt, conductor of the series, was not afraid to take this at full speed, a blessing. Some may have questioned the use of a piano instead of the usual harpsichord for the difficult fifth concerto. But if the crispness of the one was lacking, the other made up for It in the subtle dy- namics, delicate rubato of Ben- fing Dexter's virtuoso perform- ance through the first movement solo passage. The p ano blended quite well- if not too much so-in ensemble. The slow middle movement, play- ed by only piano, cello and flute (Nelson Hauenstein), seemed the epitome of Baroque style and spir- it, a thorough delight. After these two great movements, however, the finale seemed dull. * * * THE EVENING concert, played to a full house, began with the fourth concerto, exhibiting the f a- miliar flute duet, with Emil Raab, violin, completing the concertino trio. Raab's playing was graceful,. supported by the rollicking flutes (Hauenstein and Sarah Baird). This is one of the most enjoyable movements of the whole set, and could so easily have been ruined by a lagging tempo, butfortunate- ly this was. not the case. The sixth concerto, the second of the evening, was a disappoint- ment on most counts. The violas performed heroically, but in com- petition with three cellos and a double-bass, the total effect was one of hopeless muddlement. Cellos are not viola da gambas, and in this particular concerto, both violas and cellos are only substitutes for the Baroque instru- mentation. The results were most unfortunate. The voicing was muddy, the dy- namics almost non-existent, the whole thing dull. This concerto demands special care in handling, ev.en with its proper instruments; with violas and cellos, success is nigh impossible to attain. THE CONCLUDING work ws the second concerto, with its 'fa- mous Bach trumpet solo, given a tremendous reading by Carl Bal- cuf. Soaring in the abnormally high and difficult range above the staff, the clear but not blasting trumpet evokeid all the elation and gusto antic pated. The violin, flute and oboe enmpleted the soli group, which alternated with the large ensemble. Clyde Thompson on double-bass assisted John Flower, cembalo, with the bass continuo parts for all six concertos. Mention must be given to the welcomed program notes by Louise Cuyler, which succinctly outlined each concerto." -Brendan Liddell 'A ~ YES -" !p dv \o.

Doubtless many readers of this review have been obliged to sit through pre- sentations of motion pictures with garbled unintelligible sound, or in- correctly focused picture, or some other inconvenience. The Campus theatre'has avoided all of these misfortunes with some skill, and now falls victim to ;a greater evil. For some reason,. un- known to the sane mind, the man- agement of this place has installed one of those so-called "wide screens" with. the inevitable result/ that the top and,bottom of' the picture In normal-size films is cut: off. "The Love Lottery" was filmed in England, where the wide screen is not used. Naturally when a fairly square picture is. projected upon an oblong screen, it loses its head and tail. Thus the audience loses sight of a certain amount of the /action, much to its dismay. * * * WHAT PORTION of "The Love Lottery" that could be seen was generally a rather amusing satire of the trials a film star must un- dergo at the hands of "fans." David Niven is this film star. After a hectic life in Hollywood, where he is alternately .bored by trivial conversation of his leading ladies and mobbed by masses of gluttinous womenNiven sails away from it all to England. But before he leaves, Niven jokingly proposes that there be established a great lottery with the first prize-Niven himself. Once in England, the head of a' great gambling organization takes hin up on his proposal and Niven, to his horror, finds himself tricked into becoming the first prize .in a love lottery. Women from all over buy tickets and the money rolls in. Meanwhile back, atthe casino Niven falls in love with a beautiful female math- ematician who cane add,:. subtract .and divide, and now wants a chance to multiply. * * 4. AFTER A hilarious assortment of complications, the great day arrives, and an aged Prince of f some European region is recruited to draw the lucky number. This belongs to one of' Niven's huge horde of fans who is quickly dis- illusioned when she too becomes. the object of pursuit by still more women. How pleasant that the film in- dustry can so effectively satire the Sins of Timern In 'the Government IF LAST WEEK is any indication, religion is receiving a slightly greater emphasis, through the government, in the day-to-day life of the United States resident. Massachusetts Governor Foster Furcolo last week, as a last resort, proclaimed a "day of' prayer" for his drought-ridden state, hoping to get rain in much the same way as the primitive Indian rain dance. And now, since Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield has been so successful in placing "In God We Trust on two of our postage stamps, the government has decided to print the slogan on all new paper money. Well, the result of the "day of prayer" in Massachusetts 'was rain-just what was hoped for. We hope the effects of the new paper money will be equally satisfactory., -VERNON NAHRGANG CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHT: Coalition Doomed. By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (M)-The coali- tion of Republicans 'and Dem- ocrats which had supported the Eisenhower administration's civil- rights bill has cracked up. Still in doubt is the question whether the group can re-form its lines and regain the strength it showed in bringing the bill before the Senate originally. When the Senate voted 52 to 38 to cut from the House-passed bill all enforcement provisions except those to preserve voting rights, 18 Republicans and 12 Northern or Western Democrats joined with 22 Southern Democrats. * Thirteen Northern or Western Democrats stood with 25 Republi- cans for the stronger bill.

This was the first major test of sentiment on a strong civil rights bill the House .passed286 to 126 with coalition support June 18. * 4. * TwO DAYS later, the Senate voted 45 to 39 to put the bill directly on its calendar, and then it voted 71 to 18 to take the measure up for action. Whether the coalition could pick up its pieces to resist further as- saults on the measure remained a matter of doubt. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Tex- as, the Democratic leader, had put the coalition forces to a new test immediately by calling up an amendment to provide for jury trials in some contempt cases growing out of voting rights. Supporters said this w o u 1 d "emasculate" the measure because they contend Southern juries won't convict. By voting 25 to 18 against re- ducing the .scope of the measure, Republicans could lay greater claim to supporting civil rights. than the Democrats, who voted 34 to 18 the other way.

Where we have seen Paddy Chayefsky and too many other writers, whose television plays are made into movies, create charc- ters whose natures are distorted by the author's own post-Freud- ian narcissisism and whose ex- istence is almost contingent on the absence of contact with anything remotely resembling society, we can look refreshingly at the work of Rose, whose knowlege of the world is of something more than just people as people. Yes, they are that; but to this author, peole is a thing, too. So- ciety. Too many writers prefer to remain unaware of that fact and accordingly their writing is of an inarticulate Marty or an ineffec- tual existentialist, afloat in the vacuum of the individual author's mind. ROSE has shown the interac- tion of man and his society in oth- er effort, namely "Crime in the Streets" and "Twelve Angry Men." The author has never forfeited the existence of his characters as individuals, but neither has he left their more vast existence be rejected. In "Dino" he concerns himself with the effect a boy's return to his family and neighbor- hood from a reformatory will have, not only to the boy, but on the people with whom he comes in contact. Dino is 16 when he is released from Parkinson, after a three-year term for his part in the -murder of a night watchman. His return is received coldly by almost eyery- one except his younger brother Tony, but that boy's hero-worship assumes dangerous proportions when he asks Dino to lead a gang of neighborhood toughs His presence in the neighbor- hood is seen as a threat to their well-being by people whom the caseworker describes as wanting merely to stay "alive and well and reasonably unafraid." Only his brother, a caseworker, and, a neighborhood girl seem- to be on his side, and it appears Dino must counter the threat of violence with violence. * * * SOME OF Rose's impact .is lost in Thomas Carr's unsure direc- WASHINGTON - The i n story of the backing-ant ing over the school bill is a one.
