Frank Wendell Rounds Proposes
Theory of New Weakened Russia

Moscow, Frank Wendell Rounds,

Jr, as the third session of the|

Philadelphia Bulletin Forum con-
tinued at the Academy of Music
on Wednesday evening, March 11.
Because Malenkov is unsteady, Rus-
sia will have fewer ties with her
satellites, he explained. However,
the total defensqa strength of the

United States must be kept at a

maximum. Equally important, the
government must not submit to
war fright, but must at all times
allow citizens to remain “their
" true selves.”

“Trade not Aid?” was the ques-
tion asked of panel members J.
William Fulbright, Arkansas Sen-
ator, Lord Rochdale, _ Britain’s
Vice-President of the National
Union of Manufacturers, and H.
Christian Sonne, President of the
National Planning Association, by
Moderator Lewis Galantiere, Pol-
icy Adviser of Radio Free Europe.
Sonne advocated a combination of
liberal trade regulations and aid,
for investments abroad are help-
ful both to the investor and to the
country invested in. If there is
enough trade, he agreed, there is
more chance that the government
will be repaid.

Britain wants to pay her way,
put in Lord Rochdale. Free com-
petition should not only mean free
competition within the United
States, but with England too, he
added. Liberalizéd trade regula-
tions would help Britain to in-
crease production and selling of
raw materials.

Senator Fulbright did not ap-
prove of aid. “There is no way
to- keep up a balance of trade -f
you do not first achieve the bal-
ance to keep up,” he - asserted.
Only trade (not too liberalized)
will do this, and cértainly not aid.

All three men agreed that the
perfect set-up would be achieved
when and if all countries of the
world had free and lateral trade,
which would balance itself.
| We are all inter-dependent, for
poverty anywhere endangers pros-
perity everywhere, began H. E.

Observer

With the approach of new grass
and crocus (or is it croci?) down
by the gym and earlier sunrises
there’s a new spirit in the air. The
atmosphere itself is tinged with
the essence (soon to be the exist-
ence) of Spring. Mid-semesters
are as hard as ever, but less to be
fearfully anticipated, and Satur-
day afternoons are more pleasant-
ly awaited.

This is the time when to all in-
tents and purposes the academic
year begins anew. Organizations
all over campus have new heads
and new committees. Throughout
college society the impetus of
fresh beginnings are being felt and
taken advantage of.

The student is lucky to have so
many chances of beginning again.
Especially in September, January,
and the Spring these opportunities
are recognized. Perhaps there are
also possibilities—too seldom ap-
preciated—of starting with a clean
slate from week to week and from
day to day.

Spring” should surely be the best
time for daily beginnings when
each morning. does usher in what
seams, to be a.new adventure, when
getting out of bed early is, if still
as difficult, at least more pleasant
once one’s eyes are wide enough to
see the world outside. .

Because this spring is present—
last year’s is beyond recall and
next year’s unpredictable—it is vi-

tally important.



Gaganvihar Mehta, Ambassador to
une United States from India.
While there is poverty and op-

nut be political freedom, and ex-
pression of thought is at a mini-
mum. Only by economic aid from
countries who are able to help
will the lessening of misery be
accomplished.

At this point in the forum,
there was an intermission as Mrs.
Langley Moore showed the vari-
ous coronets and gowns from Eng
land which will be worn at the
coronation.

The United States representa-
tive to the United Nations Com-
mission on Human Rights, Mrs.
Oswald B. Lord, told of the many
advances the United Nations has
made, and is making, without much
cost to America. In many coun-
tries the people have been train-
ed to aid themselves in farming
and industry with their own tools.

In one area of Greece, for ex-
ample, an abundant potato crop
was rotting because the people had
no way to transport the produce
over poor roads. A committee of
the United Nations met to discuss
the problem, and an excellent so-
lution was suggested: that ad-
visers go out to train the people
to use their old tools to build

isotopes to medicine.

LAS! NIGHTERS'

Newest Williams Play,
‘Camino Real,”
Has Value
especially contributed by
Gwen Davis, 54

The lights go out suddenly; the
audience emits a startled murmur,
tor they are accustomed to having
une lights dim. And so the play
goes. With a series of surprising
ettects, brilliant characters, and
vivid words, Tennessee Williams
in “Camino Real” has created a
unique and challenging play.

“What is this place; where are
we?” the characters ask, and no-

body knows. The Camino Real is
a road that used to be royal. But
the name of this Camino, says the
Baron, is not unreal.

Characters

The characters range from Casa-
nova, Mile. Gautier, and Byron, to
a gypsy, her daughter Esmerelda,
and Kilroy, the American boxer,
who used to be welter-weight
champion of the West Coast, fallen
out of favor and luck, doomed be-
cause he has a heart as big as the
head of a baby. No one knows
how or why he is there: the only
thing all have in common is des-
peration, with cash at the expen-
sive hotel on one side of the plaza,
without it on the other. All are
afraid: some are conscious of their
fear; some want to escape; some
are afraid of losing even the se-
curity of their desperation. Death,
in the guise of the street-cleaners,
is always waiting for them.- The
only apparent means of escape is
the terrifying terra incognita be-
yond the arch.

There are familiar elements of
many poetic philosophies in this
play: the seeming futility of ro-
manticism in a realistic world; the
need for sensual satisfaction and
the shame that follows it; and the
hope that is offered for escape by
those who: are quixotic and cour-
ageous beneath their cloak of
romantic folly.

Theatrical Effects

What could easily appear as a
melange of confused vignettes has
been tautly and brilliantly staged
by Elia Kazan, who has utilized
a great many theatrical effects
without sacrificing the poetry. The
set, complicated and imposing, has
been admirably designed by Lem-
uel Ayers. Not the least of the
so-called incidental touches of the
production is the music by Ber-
nardo Segall; it is indispensable to
the mood-setting, subtly but in-
geniously attuned to its charac-
ters, and alternately eerie and
fiery in the subsequent scenes of
the play. Outstanding in a cast
of almost impeccable excellence is
Eli Wallach in the role of Kilroy.

There will be a great deal of
controversy over the meaning of
Tennessee Williams’ new play. It
is a search for value, a masque, a
procession of symbolic and legen-
dary characters; it is whatever the
individual wants or néeds it to be.
There can be no disputing that it
is a powerful, exciting, and worth-
while experience in the theatre.





The Sophomore Carnival, the
Junior Prom, and of course, The
Maids’ and Porters’ production
of “A Connecticut Yankee” will
highlight one gala weekend of
April 17 and 18. .Ellie Fry, the
chairman of the Prom, has her
committee busily working, even
at this early date, and hints of
a mediaeval theme for the dance
—most unusual, but quite ap-
propriate in view of the above
mentioned production. Watch
your NEWS and keep an eye
open for posters about the stu-
pendous approaching events!

S. Klemming beginning his key-
note address at the first session
of the Philadelphia Bulletin Forum
neid in the Academy otf Music on
march 10. Tne topic ot the Forum
was THE CHALLENGE = Ot

Varsity and inter-class games
highlighted this week’s sports
events as the winter season draws
to a conclusion. The varsity and
junior games were in swimming,
badminton, and basketball. The
inter-class meets were in swim-
ming and badminton.

On March 11, Chestnut Hill de-
feated Bryn Mawr’s first and sec-
ond teams by 37-20 and 33-20, Ann
Lebo and Glenna Vare came in
first and second for the back
crawl, however, and Peggy King
placed second in the breast-stroke.
In diving Glenna Vare placed third
for the varsity. For the junior
varsity, Polly Oatfield placed sec-
ond in the free-style and Nancy
Tepper second in the back crawl;
the free-style relay team won. Also
for the junior varsity Pat McEl-
roy placed third in diving. ;

Badminton

The winning streak of the bad-
minton varsity ended in a heart-
breaking set of matches held at
Swarthmore on March 10th. The
final score was 3-2, with Judy Mc-
Culloch scoring the only singles
win and the doubles team of Mari-
lyn Muir-Beth Davis, the doubles
victory. The junior varsity won
their match 3-2. Phil Tilson won
a very close contest in the singles
matches and Charlotte Smith was
another singles winner. Candy
Bolster and Barbara Bornemann
combined to make a_ winning
doubles team.

Swarthmore was victorious over
Bryn Mawr’s basketball varsity in
a game on Wednesday. At the
end of the first half the score was
fairly close, 20-18, but then the
Swarthmore team began pulling
away and the final score was AT-
31. Bea Merrick skilfully scored
18 points in spite of the excellent
Swarthmore guards. Bryn Mawr’s
junior varsity won their game 56-
30, as again the main scoring was
done in the second half., Both
Sally Kennedy and Pauline Smith
deserve special note as they scor-
ed 26 and 22 points respectively.

were held last week, and in a very
exciting finish the Freshmen near-

of Representative Velae concern-
ing the possibility of investigating
clergymen. Baldwin was opposed
by Stephen A. Mitchell, Chairman
of the Democratic National Com-
mittee, who proposed that a home-
town board of judges be organized
to examine the fitness of congres-
sional investigators. Congressman
Hugh D. Scott, Jr., and Senator
Homer Ferguson also took part in
the discussion.

Participants in a second panel,
HOW MUCH FREEDOM FOR
FREE ENTERPRISE, were Homer
E. Capehart, James B. Carey, and
Edward R. Dunning. Carey con-
tended: “Twenty years ago Private
Enterprise was dead. Now, after
twenty years of the government
building dams, Private Enterprise
takes over again’. Private Enter-
prise is the usurper of the govern-
ment, of the unions, of the people.
Senator Capehart responded that
Private Enterprise is the back-
bone of the American system of
government. “In the last hundred
years leaders have been killing the
goose that lays the golden egg—
not by legislation, but by attitude.”

Pennsylvania Senator James H.
Duff spoke on A STRONG ECON-
OMY AND A STRONG DE-
FENSE. “The death of Stalin is
no help to peace.’”’. The American
people are so well disposed towards
other people that “it is difficult to
imagine that we could be attacked
without warning”. However, “Our
cities are in range of bombers”.
As a result of last fall’s investiga-
tions in the South Pacific, scien-
tists found it possible to make one
bomb that would destroy by per-
cussion 300 square miles and by
fire 1200 square miles. We must
accelerate our national defense.
“"“ he time is short and the danger
is ever present.”

Joseph S. Clark, Jr., ‘in THE
URBAN CHALLENGE TO DE-
MOCRACY, _ presented problems
facing city government. We must
find some way to get honest lead-
ers in office, and still have them
be able to pay their grocery bills.
“Our democracy can succeed only
if its leaders accept the practical
truth that the end NEVER justi-
fies the means.”

turned into living homes of fam-
ilies is like magic” — William J.
Levitt, master magician of the
planning and construction of two
