The on called for a $2,000 increase ,over the ent wage of $5,000, and was heartily ap- ded by some legislators. "We don't get gh for what we are doing here," said a ocratic Representative from Detroit. iday the bill was killed in the Senate. nd a chorus of agreement resounded ugh the state. Why, surely, "Those guys n Lansing" get a raise for an almost con- failure to do their job? The irony and the apparent brashness of such a bill, osed in the middle of a situation offering t and tangible proof that the Legislators rently were not worth even their present. y, was almost overwhelming. And it was ubtedly due to such a feeling of irony, to a fear of the political reaction to such ece of "legislative skullduggery" that the was killed. RHAPS THIS was the thing to do at this particular time: However, this actiorn brings a long range point that needs to be made and which should not be obscured by the of confusion caused by (what we hope be) unusual circumstances. is clear that legislative salaries do need raised. The legislators dq not get enough. what they' are doing. Speaking only in zematical terms, given their long and times difficult hours, the legislators re- a pitifully low wage per hour. Further, nature of their job makes it difficult for them to obtain additional income from non- salary sources such as business and law. They simply haven't the sustained amount of time necessary to make such an enterprise thrive. Extra expenses }are imposed on legislators, for entertainment, housing in the capital, if they do not live there already, and for many other things. Legislative salaries should take such additional expenses, which are a part, of the .ob, into full account. There is some question whether they do so. Further, American democracy purports to be a mass democracy, where all who wish to serve may do so regardless of their financial status. This was the reason why salaries for legisla- tors were first introduced, for otherwise only men of considerable wealth could afford the additional expenses. Adequate legislative sal- aries are necessitated by such a philosophy, and salaries are generally inadequate. GIVEN THE POSITION of central impor- tance held by the legislative function in the, United States, legislators should be compen- sated for their services in proportion to their importance: a point likely to be missed in Michigan at a time when the Legislature does not seem to be doing anything at all, and wants to be paid more for it. This is not to suggest that it is possible to buy good men to fulfill the legislative function today. But it may be that a more adequate scheme of compensation would encourage some men of ability--who seem to be lacking in our Legislature today-to seek to serve in the most important service capacity a democracy has. --PHILIP POWER I AT THE MICHIGAN: 'Say One for Me:' A Grim Story of Life BING CROSBY is in the habit. Let's hope you're not. Of course, the advertising is irresistable. "The entertainment that rings all the bells in your heart!" If you want your heart rung, then this is the place to go. No stops are left unpulled. You are presented with a humble, human, admirable priest, a plot which would bring tears from Konrad Adenauer and an adorable, cuddly, circumstance-beaten baby. All of this is what "Say One For Me'" tries to do for you. It fails. The plot, which is very old and very grim, is the bad-boy-turned-into. good-boy theme which has seen better days. Robert Wagner, one must admit, will probably draw a teenager or two, but then he wasn't cast for his acting ability. DEBBIE REYNOLDS, as the girl-who-turns-the-bad-boy-into-the- good-boy character, has a pretty weak role to handle. But, Reynolds fans, she's as cute as a, well, a gay divorcee, and that pleases most males. And then there is Bing Crosby. Everything one can say about him has been said. He has lost with age any singing ability he might once have had. The picture of a crooning priest somehow rubs against my artistic sensibility, but that, apparently, is the breaks. "Say One For Me" has some of the best color photography to hit the Michigan Theatre in months and this is the film's sole virtue. * * * *+ THE "HIT" SONGS, by Sammy Cahn, are bad, really bad. The film depends heavily on music (because of its plot vacuum) but that was a basic error. The music, if one can call it that, only adds to the con- temporary impression of the movies as a decaying art form. Crosby is cast as sort of a theatrical Father Divine, leading his flock of show-folk from the evils of their profession to a new life. He saves poor Ray Walston from drink; he baptises illegitimate children; he consoles dissappointed lovers. He also produces benefit shows and television specials. The plot, as a matter of fact, is reminiscent of teen-type rock-and- roll films with color and a few variations added. If this is your dish, devour it. Totalling the results: Say one for me. Say "No!" --Robert Junker t- AT THE CAMPUS: ' 'Two Heae py' Half-Way Decent INCREDIBLE IF TRUE, this amazing story of a British spy who fooled the German government from Hitler on up. "The Two Headed Spy" gives us the story, in sharp and occasionally grim language. This is a fast and exciting adventure story, sure to please sophis- ticated audiences like the Ann Arbor crowd. And it will evidently have the chance: as I wandered out of the theatre, a bearded adventurer leapt from his MG and .into the lobby, hot on the trail of escape or whatever. The two headed spy is Alexander Scotland, who entered the Ger- Carib bean Can'114 el By THOMAS TURNER .American Apathy Shows VER 49,000,000 Americans dead. 28,000,000 injured. 'hese figures were prepared by the Office of 11 and Defense Mobilization for a joint ate-House subcommittee- studying the effects an all-out nuclear war. Some of the sci- ists that spoke felt that even these figures e not as high as could reasonably be ex- ted. 'he estimates were based on the 1950 census i so should be increased by one-sixth to get correct totals for now, some said. But even e significant was the fact that the figures e based on bombs of a total destructive e of 4,000 megatons. Many feel that Russia have the capability of dropping nuclear abs with a total force of 10,000 to -20,000 atons by 1965. In way of camparison the ibs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki e only one-fiftieth of a megaton in size. 3SIDES THESE human casualties it was also estimated that in a period of weeks or aths after the attack all the farm land and unharvested crops would be poisoned ughout the world. he hearings that took place last week dealt i the destructiveness of the explosions and biological effects it would have. One of the n reasonsIthat the meetings were held was id the public of the apathy and ignorance ounding the dangers of nuclear war. It ned to do little good. ' i the House, the appropriations committee led down a request for four million dollars tart construction on two underground cen- from which it would be possible to run the government in ,case of enemy attack. And in the New York papers the only notice the hear- ing received was a small article stating that the television actor that plays Wyatt Earp was attending the meetings. There was no mention of the large scale destruction that could be expected, no mention of the casualties, no mention of the possible ways of saving lives but only an article that well could have gone into a society column. THERE SEEMS to be a very twisted sense of values in the United States. When Charles Starkweather was executed it received headlines in almost all of the large newspapers. But he had only killed 11 people. However when re- ports are made that show a possibility of 49 million people dying it gets little if any notice at all in the newspapers. Perhaps the reasons for it lie in the protected life that Americans have always led. Thoughts of. mass death and destruction has never gone much farther than the murderer who kills 11. In Europe where the drone of German and Allied planes during the war was a constant threat, preparation and realization of the danger involved is much higher. But here in the United States where the present danger is much higher there is almost complete apathy. No one knows and no one cares. "We haven't been bombed yet, why worry?" seems to be the prevailing feeling in the nation. The reason to worry is shown quite clearly in the figures that were released by the sub- committee: 49,000,000 dead, 28,000,000 injured. --KENNETH McELDOWNEY SAN JUAN, P. R. - The Turner family residence is located on Paseo de Don Juan, a block-long street running along the ocean, separated from it only by a short wall and a narrow beach. "Paseo" is Spanish for stroll or promenade, while "Don Juan" has the same connotation as in Eng- lish - the street has been some- thing of a lovers' lane for many years. Though it's not a major thor- oughfare, a lot of traffic moves along the Paseo in the course of a day. Many people come just to look at the ocean: some tourists, some natives of the city. The view, with - blue sky, blue ocean and white beach edged with palms, is spectacular. The sea- breeze, always blowing, is quite pleasant, too, as San Juan is very humid. * * * MUCH OF the traffic, however, is made up of tradesmen, going along the street or door-to-door. "Zapateria, zapateria," the shoe repairman calls, riding by each morning on a bicycle with a box on the back to collect the shoes (zapatas), which he takes in to be repaired. Each day two or three different fruit-venders go by, pushing big cards, shouting their wares. "Am- arillos y Verdes," they call, adver- tising bananas, yellow and green. "Agvacates," they call, selling avocados. "Dulces, azucar," they say, advertising sweet, sugary pineapples. Also to be found in the fruit- venders' carts are papayas, man- goes, plantains, as well as vege- tables and herbs. * * * SEVERAL TIMES a week, three or four competing flower-men come by, calling "flores, flires." They walk, carrying their flowers, folded in long banana-leaves, over a shoulder. The gladiolas, chry- santhemums and roses they sell are grown in the United States, but the lilies and daisies are usually local. Once a housewife has patron- ized one of these flower-venders, he is no longer content to call from the street but comes to the door to unwrap his goods. To his "clientes" so-honored; he will even sell on credit, eliminating the housewife's excuse that she has no money. In the afternoon, with the trop- ical sun overhead, along comes the "piragua" man, local equiva- lent of Ann Arbor's ice cream bar salesman..He wheels a little cart with a glassed-in box, in which is located a block of ice and vari- ous flavors of syrup. For a nickel, just 'cinco centaros," he will shave a cup of ice for you and pour red, green or purple liquid on it. The result is more appeal- idg- to youngsters than to those with more discrimination, it must be confessed. Another frequent afternoon vis- itor is the "plata nutres" vender, selling french-fried banana slices for a nickel a bag. Newsboys come IT nTV " 1 -1M 7 9 by each day, hawking their wares in typical abbreviated fashion. Also frequent passers-by on the Paseo are four mounted police- men. They patrol the entire beach area during the day, though ap- parently not at night. * * * NIGHT BRINGS another varie- ty of small-businessman to the Paseo, along with other residen- tial areas. These do not call their wares, but go silently about their work, collecting wallets, watches and other valuables when left within sight where the house can be entered. As a protection against house- breaking, there is a night watch- man, who comes along each even- ing to patrol the area. Wearing a tan uniform and a pith-helmet, he makes quite an imposing figure. All he seems to do, however, is walk along hitting his night-stick on the sea-wall. Since losing a watch, this household has stopped paying him' two dollars each month for his services. He still comes by, of course, though the noise doesn't seem to bother the thieves. Or the old men, lying on the beach with bottles of rum. Or the lovers, out to see the ocean and the stars. man army in 1914, rose to the rani information to the British, and eventually escaped to tell the tale. * * * AFTER YEARS of a precarious existence, Scotland returned to a world which, until now, paid him little heed. Yet his accomplish- ments were far from trivial. This film is more successful than most efforts of the same sort, with no James Masons, trench coats or dark shadows creeping along the sidewalks. But the un- pretentiousness of "Two" Headed Spy," along with a terse and ex- citing story, help to assure its suc- cess. A WORD to the wise: while this film is better than average for 'the summer, it is entangled in a mesh of short subjects which barely defy description.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst SOVIET Deputy Premier Frol Kozlov came tearing across the world at 460 miles per hour'Sunday to visit what is advertised as one of the world's most bustling cities. Almost im- mediately he was slowed to 10 per. Shifting from Russia's great prop-jet air- Iiner, he boarded a World War II infantry landing craft, converted into a sightseeing yacht, to see what is truly one of the wonders of the world. The contracts during the sightseeing trip around Manhattan Island are amazing. The boats leave from a rotting little pier in basin noted chiefly for its garbage, yet only a little way from the berths of great ocean liners. A mile behind it is one of the world's great garment making centers. ONCE OUT in the Uudson, the great panor- ama of New York begins to unroll. There is Ellis Island, four-fifths of which is composed of rocks dumped by ships from the old world which came in ballast. There landed the refu- gees from Europe come to make their fortune, and help make a nation. Nearby is the Statue of Liberty, lifting her lamp before what became truly, for millions, the golden door. A little farther north, the East River bank of Manhattan becomes a veritable home of humanity. There great piles of buildings house the sick and those who work to cure them-- Bellevue, first great municipal hospital.from which no ailing body or mind may be turned away; Cornell Medical Center and New York Hospital lumped together, treating and study- ing; Rockefeller Medical Research Center; other great private hospitals. Blocks of them. Between them are the buildings of the United Nations, trying to give international meaning to the spirit of man and his political morali- ties, and the modern apartments where once were slums. THE LAND devoted to humanity in New York. is far greater than that allotted the finan- cial district. As the boat passes through the Harlem River, under 15 bridges, and through Spuyten Duyvil back to the Hudson, men and women, boys and girls of many races splash in the water, or fish, and there's the bay where Henry Hud- son anchored his little forerunner of all the ships which now work the world's greatest port. No materialism here. All across the northern tip of the world's most crowded island there is a large natural woodland. In it are three reconstructed monasteries from the old world. u U '~~ ~ . . r ~ .
