CHIANG Kai-shek's current visit to the United States should be a pleasantly nbarrassing affair for the University and articularly for whichever officials first lought of awarding her an honorary degree s will be done this month. To go from honor- .g an outstanding figure such as Germany's resident Theodor Heuss to Mme. Chiang is lite a jump. It was hoped that Mme. Chiang, half of that ar-Eastern symbol of pseudo-democratic gov- °nment, would slip quietly into the country, Aietly accept her honor which was offered r last spring and quietly leave with as little nfare as possible. But such was not to be; st week she appeared before newsmen for ie first time since her arrival several weeks go and proceeded to put her foot in her outh. She appealed to the free world to stop help- .g neutrals unless it wants the countries ghting communism to start wondering: "Why ould we fight when the neutrals sit on the nce and get just as much as we do?" IME. CHIANG has failed, like so many oth- ers, to distinguish between neutral coun- les and pro-communist countries. She also ill conceives of the world in absolute military ower terms when the actual area of struggle day has shifted to economic competition. The ason the United States must continue to ,sist neutral countries is quite simple: the rge and rapidly growing blpck of neutrals day hold what will be the balance of power i the world. There seems to be little doubt nong economists and political scientists to- ay that to prevent the Soviet Union from thieving its aim of world domination the free orld must at least keep the neutrals neutral nd, if possible, win their support. Certainly by Lrning our backs to these countries we would o nothing but push them into the Eastern ap. Because the competition between East and West is now chiefly economic, the support of the wealthy (in resources, man power, etc.) is of vital importance. One would even venture to observe that, in the long run, it would prof- it the United States and the free world more if this country were to take its considerable support from Formosa and divert it to, for ex- ample, India. There is, indeed, a definite ques- tion of whether the money the United States has spent on Chiang has been justifiable. Mme. Chiang, in calling for abandonment of the neutral countries, fails to realize such a move would mean the eventual downfall of the West. Since the Chiang regime is able to hold its absolute power on Formosa only be- cause of the United States support, the result of abandoning the neutral countries would af- fect her and her husband, AS WELL AS taking a few swipes at the neutral countries, Mme. Chiang also said the Nationalists would recapture. the Chinese mainland with their own army -- an army, it might be added, which is American trained and American-equipped. "We don't want the United States to do it for us. If you ask me when, I don't know; if you ask me how, I don't want the Communists to know," she said.. This claim has been heard many times be- fore, and Chiang and his army still, as the saying goes, have a Chinamen's chance of ful- filling it. Only through United States assist- ance, something most unlikely, could the Na- tionalists recapture the mainland., And now Mme. Chiang is on her way to the 'University to be honored by one of the lead- ng universities in the world. From here she will go on to Washington D.C. for an official visit, probably to officially protest against aid to neutrals, request more financial assistance to make official life a little softer back home and to confer with some of her close friends in the United States Senate. -DAVID TARR Daily Co-Editor (Herblock Is on Vacation) WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND: Near East History Repeating By DREW PEARSON IN MORE ways than one, history regarding the Near East is re- peating. About three weeks ago, when Prime Minister Macmillan of Eng- land was in the White House, President Eisenhower approached him about cooperating with the United States in armed interven- tion in Lebanon if necessary. Macmillan was something less than lukewarm. He did not get up and wave the Union Jack over maching into Lebanon with any degree of enthusiasm. In fact' he couldn't help but remind Presi- dent Eisenhower, gently, that it was almost two years ago that Britain intervened in Suez when President Eisenhower stopped that intervention. If British-French-Israeli opera- tions against Nasser had been per- mitted to continue, the British Prime Minister intimated, it would not now be necessary for the United States to be talking about new intervention against Nasser. * * * HOWEVER, since the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles all agreed on intervention, Macmillan reluctantly consented to go along. To that end, 37,000 British troops are concentrated on Cyprus just a few miles from Lebanon, ready for intervention. This is exactly what happened be- fore the Suez landing in October, 1956. Meanwhile, Lebanese President Chamoun was offered aid, and United States ambassador Thomp- son in Moscow was instructed to call on Foreign Minister Gromyko and inform him that the United States was determined to use force if necessary to protect Lebanon independence. President Eisen- hower figured the threat of Ameri- can intervention would discourage both the Russians and the Arab rebels in Lebanon. But it hasn't worked out this way. The United States, thanks to our slump in military prestige, can no longer negotiate from strength. Russian and Syrian arms contin- ued to cross the Lebanese border to aid the rebels, while Russia issued a gruff warning that "volunteers" might intervene in Lebanon if the United States and Britain inter- vened. At this point President Eisen- hower and Dulles began to get cold feet, Last week United States Am- bassador McClintock in Beirut was instructed to urge President Cha- moun not to call on the United States for aid under the Eisen- hower Doctrine-except in case of "dire emergency." Even then, American Marines and British paratroopers would be used only to evacuate American-British civil- ians. Turkish-Iraqi troops would be flown into battle the Arab rebels. Meanwhile, hesitation in Wash- ington, similar to the British de- lays just before the Suez landing, has given the Russians time to prepare "volunteers," Once again history repeats. * * * DURING the height of the Washington furor over Sherman Adams, the man who had caused the furor, Mr. Adams, went out to a Washington cocktail party, where he got into a conversation over fishing. "The best fishing I ever had was in Turkey. I was in Germany visit- ing with Laurie Norstad," he said, referring to the American com- mander of NATO. "Norstad flew me to Turkey and we spent two days there fishing. It was a great experience." The assistant to the President was quite nonchalant about the idea of taking an American air force plane and flying from Ger- many all the way to Turkey just to fish. It didn't seem to worry him that he was spending the Ameri- can taxpayer's money any more than he was worried about spend- ing Mr. Goldfine's money.

The seconid mnovemlent is eloquent, but dis- y'lays a certain diisjointednessj which is rather frecuent in slow movements of Haydn In sympho- nies as well as chamber music, There are unadorned breaks be- tween sections - the music just sort of stops, sounding vey much like the end cf the movement, then begins again. It is. as it were, a misapplication of the Grande Pause which Haydn so often uses brilliantly in his fast movements.j '. * * BENJAMIN Lees' Quartet No. 2, receiving its first Ann Arbor per- formance, seemed a bit thin in its rather formidable context. One shrinks from forming opinions of new music on but a single hear- ing; still if one must review, one should extend one's neck. The sub- stance of the first movement es- caped me. The very openingl) phrase set the goeneral atmos- phere: it was patterned after Bartok, but without the sardonic power of that composer - a sort of unastring ten Bartok with Brahinsian overtones. More readi- ly accessible was the slow move- ment, This was an interesting study in contrasts between a sustained singing voice and a broken sob- bing motive. The picture was pre- sented three times with interme- diate episodes. The second time the sustained voice came in open harmonies, strongly suggestive of the Black Masker's Suite of Roger Sessions. The third time the sobbing mo- tive became articulate, almost me- lodic, then violent, eventually re- turning to its original form for a brief recapitulation. The third movement seemed a bit thin. One discerned a motivic derivative of the slow movement sob given to the first violin and viola occur- ring several times, * * * RENJAMIN Lees is an Ameri- can composer In his early thirties, currently in Europe on a fellow- ship.

Philip -Benkard 1960 Campaign Begins Early rHE 1960 election campaign was kicked off Monday in a speech well camouflaged by the title "The Challenge of Co-Existence." Author and news commentator William Cos- ello, speaking under the auspices of the Jniversity's journalism department, addressed small crowd, small,: perhaps, because of the fternoon heat. Costello commented that the people who had chosen to picnic rather than ttend the lecture were probably having more un than his audience. As the lecture wore on )ne would tend to agree. He began his talk with certain observations w'hich, although not new, did at least relate to he topic. He talked of the meaning of co-exis- -ece, presenting a negative definition-that it foes not mean brotherhood-but suggesting no lear cut affirmative definition. HE SPOKE of the transition which was made at the Geneva Conference in 1955, when the emphasis of the cold war changed from politics r ideology to economics. He declared that some people in the world believe that Russia is 100 times the United states' superior because its three Sputniks have i total collective poundage 100 times as great as America's three satellites. He cited the discrepancy in the growth rate >f the economy in the two countries. "Our rate of growth has shrunk alarmingly," he pointed out. "It is averaging less than one-third the Soviet rate." And it was here in his address that the blankes were removed and a political speech was born. "This administration pays mere lip service to the problem," he said, referring to the eco- nomic rate discrepancy. "What we face is not Dulles's tame, well-mannered, nineteenth cen- tury Victorian affair." "H EMIGHT be a statesman, but he certainly won't defeat communism with pious ser- mons of chivalry," he continued. "The Eisen- hower administration went into office with a slogan of "dynamic initiative." This initiative has been transformed into paralysis, he main- tained. He said that in only two instances has the Arministration come up with anything new in the way of policy. Then, as the final blow, he turned the admin- istration's election slogan directly against them. "It's time for a change," he said. The speech was not billed as a paid political announcement but it probably should have been. -JUDY DONER Opus 76 No. 5. This is one of the a particularly interesting opening AT THE STATE: Interesting A TOWN somewhere out west is gonna have a hangin' of four bankrobbers. Since this is its first one, it has to hire a professional hangman from another town across the way, Jim Douglas rides into town to see the four men hanged - seems, as if these same four outlaws had raped and killed his wife awhile back. He's been hunting them down to kill them himself, but since the law caught them first, he'll let the law do the job. Every- thing's all set for the event. But the night before the hanging-day the four escape prison. So now the town and Jim Douglas must find them again. This time Jim isn't going to wait for the law to do the job though, As he finds each one of them, he kills them himself, This all goes aiong very well with the first three - he kills them in nice fashion. But he has a talk with the fourth one, and -- "THE BRAVADOS" is a some- what different western, and a rather interesting one. There are had men and good men as in ev- ery' western. But in "The Bra- vados," the good men aren't quite the sterling-plated ones who hap- pen to appear in most westerns. Jim Douglas is out after revenge, He has vowed to kill the men whG killed his wife. The action which revolves around gun shooting, name call- ing, and saddle sores almost matches the wonders of nature as captured by the Cinemascope camera. The dialogue leaves something to be desired. Only when the four nutlaws are talk- ing among themselves does the dialogue become more than a mere parody on the modern con- ception of the wild west. The good men just don't make the grade. The role of Jim Douglas is so underplayed by Gregory Peck that it becomes almost painful to watch. This is particularly notice- able whenever he has anything to say. The pauses are so long that at times it seems as if he wouldn't speak at all. The effect created is not of a man who is determined to seek revenge, but of an actor who has forgotten his lines. Probably the most interesting character in the entire movie is the outlaw (Stephen Boyd) who has a weakness for women. This weakness is so great that he takes along a town lass when he es-. capes from prison, and keeps her, by his side throughout the course of the chase. The amazing thing is that he waits for two days before he se- duces her. For a man with such a big weakness, he shows amazs- Ing strength in holding off, This sort of strength is what tamed the wild west. -Jack Clark DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Buuetin Is an official publication of the Univer- sity of Michigan for which The Michigan Daily assumes no editor- ial-responsibility.

PRINTS AND SCULPTURE: Dis plays at Alumni Hall Impressive, Exciting THE PRESENT production of art prints on a large scale is a phenomenon of the post-war era and one unprecedented in his- tory. In the early days of print- ing, print makers had an import- ant place in society providing il- nustrations - largely religious -- dealing with topics of interest, presenting pictorially for the il- literate or scantily-literate masses the counterpart of present day newspapers and magazines. With the spread of education and literacy print making fell into disuse and only recently, after the lead of the more adventurous French artists, has print making become an area of important ac- tivity in the art world. Not only are more artists pro- ducing prints and devising differ- ent methods to meet the aesthet- ic needs of the time, but the pub- lic is buying them in gratifying volume.Today, prints are being produced and consumed primari- ly as works of art rather than, as INTERPRETING THE NEWS: Nasser May Capture Lebanon By WILLIAM L. RYAN Associated Press Foreign News Analyst EIRUT, Lebanoli -- The bulk of evidence available bh,ere indicates that if the oppo- ion wins clearly in this rebellion, Lebanon effect will become a satellite of President isser's United Arab Republic, To many persons, the government of Presi- nt Camille Chamoun and Premier Sami Solh s little to recommend it unless it is a deter- niation not to be hooked by Nasser. Chamoun put his finger directly on the point issue here when he remarked that certain rces want to lay their hands upon the foreign licy of the country. The rebel leaders insist Lebanon would re- ain wholly independent. But Nasser domi- tes the rebel scene. His picture appears ev- ywhere.

AT LEAST on the political level there is evi- dence of liaison between the rebels in Beirut and the Batth Arab Socialist Resurrection par- ty in Syria which led that country into union with Egypt. One important liaison man has appeared both in the Batth headquarters in Damascus and in the rebel headquarters of former Premier Saeb Salam in Beirut. It is not hard to credit the sincerity of men like Hussein Mweini, a Moslem leader, and Foud Ammoun, Christian opposition leader, when they express the intention of remaining Western in their sympathies. But both are wealthy old men who are essentially weak po litical figures. Likely they would have little to say if the rebellion succeeded. What this rebellion appears to seek is a weak Christian president. Then the Moslems, with a strong premier, could rule the country. The array of Moslem ex-premiers now in the re- bellion is solidly pro-Nasser at this moment. These men would create a facade of Lebanese independence and neutrality. But the foreign policy they support is Nasser's. T PRESENT, the Christian President Cha- moun is strong, and the Moslem Premier Solh is weak.

Along with dif- ferent approaches to old tech- niques and ideas, that is typical of most Western art, Yet it is couched in terms and manners typically and unmistak- ably British. Seeing these prints one is impressed by the level- headedness of the experimenter and charmed by the vitality of the traditionalist. This is not to im- ply that the show is dull or un- interesting - quite the opposite, In fact, it is refreshing to find artists making calm and thought- ful statements of considerable va- lidity ,rather than shouting blas- phemies or babbling irrelevancies, as all too often happens when Americans show their so-called experimental work, as to be a. blessed relief, a time for reaffirm- ation of faith in art, an experi- ence to be encouraged and re- peated often. There is a maturity of approach implicit in the work shown that is impressive and, for many an art student, unsettling. "SCULPTURE M I D V E S T," also showing currently at Alumni Hall, presents the work of eight young American sculptors, most of the works being executed in metal. (The title of the show rather sets one wondering - to include work by artists living in Boston, New York and Chapel Hill in a show labeled "Midwest" seems to us stretching poetic li- cense beyond the permissible point.) The examples shown (re- gardless of locale of origin) are representative of much of the work presently being turned out by our younger artists and re- flects the interest in applying comparatively new techniques to the art field. The whole topic of titles of contemporary art works is one that could be discussed at length (and propably to little point), but it would seem best to simply ig- nore most of them (just as one should disregard most of what artists write or say about art, es- pecially their own) and Just look at the works in question. FOR special looking, we would like to suggest "Soldier" by Rob- ert Howard and "Blind Man" bye Thomas McClure and "Structure" by Robert Youngman, In recent weeks we have been hearing outraged yelps from vari- ous connoisseurs of art (Con- gressmen, government officials and other hardly qualified indi- viduals) visiting the Fair in Brus- sels, concerning the degenerate quality, or unrepresentativeness of the kind and quality, of art works shown in the American Pa- villion. Much of the work included in "Sculpture Midwest" would excite similar reactions from persons who still think of the United States as lemonade on the front porch circa 1910. The show is typical and exciting - an unusual combination. -David Guillaume +1 r AL.O. .f... ': . .. .^ = .
