Stechow Discusses
Four Sons Of Bach
To the 18th century world, the
great composer Bach was Carl
Phillip Emmanuel, and perhaps his
three brothers, Wilhelm Fried-
mann, Johann Friedrich and
Johann Christian, The fame and
greatness of their father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, was known only to
Mozart, Haydn, and a few other
enlightened intellectuals.
The'music of these four sons of
Bach was the subject for a lecture-
recital by Wolfgang Stechow, Pro-
fessor of Fine Arts at Oberlin Col-
lege. The lecture was the second-+--
in the Max Diez series, sponsored
by the German. Department.
The musi¢ of the two older sons,
Friedmann and Philip Emannuel,
is close to that of their father. It
is more on the sentimental side,
whereas the works of the younger
sons, Friedrich and Johann Chris-
tian_are more romantic. Johann
Christian is really a pupil of Philip
Emmanuel’s.
The highlight of the evening. was
Mr. Sechow’s playing of works by
Bach’s sons to illustrate their styl-
istic and emotional differences. Mr.
Stechow played the works exactly
as they had been written and with
cellence, One had the feeling that
this was the spirit in which they
were meant to be heard, devoid of
over-dramatic interpretations or
dry intellectual readings.
The eldest son, Friedmann, was
Bach’s favorite. He was sensitive,
maladjusted and embittered, al-
though quite successful as a musi-
cian. His works are among the
first to have written dynamics. He
uses some of his father’s formuli
‘Odd Job’ Situation
Subject Of Meeting
College work conditions were dis-|
cussed last Tuesday, November 9,
in Taylor Hall at a meeting of all
students holding odd jobs.
Pay rates weré the subject of
most discussion. The odd-jobbers
recommended that waitress wages
in the Deanery be raised to $1.60
a meal; to $.60-.75 dn hour in the
library, and that baby-sitting rates
be determined on a basis of num-
ber of children and their ages.
More. serious were
raised on the matter of job supply.
Noting that the number of jobs
was adequate, the odd-jobbers com-
mented that several jobs lacked
questions
teresting.
Students wondered if hall resi-
dents should not take over the re-
sponsibility of cleaning, bells and
serving now. handled by the maids.
Vassar, Radcliffe, Smith and Mt.
Holyoke have such student-work
programs. Maids now employed, it
was suggested, would not be dis-
missed, but students would grad-
— fill vacancies.

Charlotte Smith and Mrs. Cren-
shaw, representing the college

Philadelphia Museum m Obtains Group
Of Early Modern Paintings, Sculpture
especially contributed
by Ann Morris, ’57
An important and comprehensive
exhibition of modern painting and
sculpture found its permanent
home at the Philadelphia Museum
of Art just last month. The Arens-
berg Collection, nearly 190 early
(principally 1907-1914) works, is
extremely interesting not only ar-
tistically, but historj lly.
The group is approached through
a series by Brancusi, “the founder
of abstract sculpture.” Rounded,.
sweeping, usually graceful works
of poilshed bronze and marble,
they. are not only striking but
startling, and not entirely pleasing
at first glance.
Nudes 1, 2, and 3
On the other hand, Duchamp’s
familiar “Nude descending a stair-
case” (No. 2) is fascinating: me-
chanically precise, colored in pale
but strong “browns “and” greens.
“Nude” No. 1 is infinitely less com-
plicated, less abstract, less con-
cerned with line, and certainly less
satisfying. No. 3 is here also:
in precise, in black-grays and
greens, it contrasts with “Sonata,”
painted in soft subtle pastels.
A startling painting, as Dali’s
always seem to be, called “Soft
Construction’ with Boiled Beans—
Premonitions of Civil War” dis-
plays beautifully clear blues and
greens and an amazing linear ex-
actness that is spoiled by his loath-
ly gray distended limbs twisted
and resting on more of the same
against an earthy red-browp fore-
ground.
Flanking the Dali are two can-
vases by Tanguy. One, “The
Storm,” shows delicately etched
undersea creatures and foliage
against a black background.
There are many other familiar
names among the impressive num-
ber of modern masters. A small
gallery devoted to Miro includes
“Man and Woman,” two linear fig-
ures, amusing and subtle, against
a burnt undergroung, with pasty
white mask faces. This one differs
rather clearly from his other pairtt-
ings of squiggly animal-like forms
in intriguing patterns.
In the same manner, Kandinsky’s
“Landscape” and “Isolated Qb-
jects” in gay bright colors are geo-
metric abstractions that remind
one of caricatures.
Precision and Form _
“Mlle, Yvonne Landsberg” is the
outstanding Matisse of the exhibi-
tion. It is a large canvas with the
figure in graceful spherical lines,
in shades of gray pointed up with
a streak of green. It lacks, to its
advantage, his usual boldness of
color, and has greater precision of
form.
An entirely different type of
painting is Rousseau’s “The Merry
Jesters,” an exotic portrayal of
several monkeys in the foreground
overturning the artist’s brushes.

To clarify the purposes of the
Self-Government Association to
Bryn Mawrters, especially fresh-
men, the Executive Board present-
ed a mock trial Tuesday, Nov. 2, in
the Common Room. The trial,
which was held to consider two im-
aginary offenses, was opened by
Ann Fosnocht,. president of the
Board.
The first case to be taken up was
that of Lyte Mitchell, a senior in
Denbigh, who thad come in at 2:20
a.m. when signed out for 2:00.
Lyte and her frequent offenses
were first discussed by the Board
with her hall president, Mary Jane
Chubbuck, after which she was giv-
en a chance to tell her version :of
the story. The impression of the on-
lookers was that the defendant was
thoughtless rather than vicious.
Lyte was dismissed from the meet-
ing, and after further discussion,
the Board decided to dock her half
an hour for seven two o’clock per-
missions. In addition, it was decid-
ed to send her a letter explaining
the tecessity for abiding by the
college rules.
The next case considered by the
Executive Board was a more ser-
ious offense, supposedly committed

Two Defendants Tried in Sample Cases
At Mock Trial Presented By Self-Gov.
| by Jan Warren, a senior in Pem-
broke East. Jan was reported to
have signed out till 2:00 a.m. Sat-
urday, stating several bars as her
destination. Although bars close
at 12:00 on Saturday, no further
destination was indicated.
She had returned to her hall at
2:00. and signed in properly. Then,
it was found, she had gone out
again by a window and had sat in
her date’s car until 3:45. Mean-
while her roommate, the warden,
and Miss Howe were very much
worried by her disappearance.
Coming before the Board, Jan
said that she understood the rules
and. realized she had broken them,
but stated that she didn’t: think she
would be caught. When question-
ed, Jan said that she thad been
“fuzzy,” but not “drunk,” and that
she had been sure she would be
safe, as she was just outside the
doar of Pembroke.
In the discussion among the
Board members, Ilse Shapiro, pres-
ident of Pembroke, brought -out
that the offender had never given
much consideration to the honor
system, apparently thinking that
rulés didn’t apply to her. Night
campusing from Wednesday, Nov.
3, through Sunday morning, Nov.
14, was the penalty decided upon
by the Board.
Levitt, Rodgers Excel’ as Old Maids, Wieland’s
‘Set Receives Plaudits, In “Arsenic & Old Lace”
|Play Provides ‘“‘Pleasant
_ Entertainment”’
In General
&
by Helen Sagmaster, “58
In the first Bryn Mawr-Haver-
ford drama presentation of the
year, both cast and production
staff had opportunities for inter-
esting, and sometimes spectacular,
effects. Almost™ everyone cénnect-
ed with the performance of Arsenic
and Old Lace used these oppor-
tunities to good advantage: the
staging and most. of the major
parts were carried off very well.
The spontaneous burst of ap-
plause at the opening of the per-
formance was a well-deserved trib-
ute to the set, designed by Haver-
ford’s Alexander Wieland. But it
is also to the designer’s credit that
the background was properly un-
obtrusive throughout the play.
The costumes were in keeping with
the various characters, and ‘the
make-up, especially for Jonathan
Brewster, was excellent.
Old Maids Good
With the exception of some of
the smaller roles, the characters
in Arsenic were satisfactorily por-
trayed, and the two old ladies were
more than satisfactory. Both Lin-
da Levitt and Katy Rodgers, as
Martha and Abby Brewster, were
the “little darlings” the author in-
tended them to be. Abby, espécial-
ly, was superb, bringing down the
house with her innocent bewilder-
ment at the appearance of an un-
known corpse. Katy didn’t act the
part of Abby; she was Abby.
Berkeley WHarris, as Mortimer
Brewster, was not quite so suc-
cessful. He was amusing at times,
but he seldom appeared the hard-
boiled drama critic, and often over-
acted to the point of being uncon-
vincing. In the scenes with his
fiancee, Elaine, he was much more
plausible and intelligent when he
attempted to appear horrified at
his aunts’ murders. Chris Fischer
portrayed Elaine Harper quite
well. The part doesn’t have many

Eight issues concerning the Bryn
Mawr curriculum have been sub-
mitted to.the Curriculum Commit-
tee for consideration, Three issues
involving the literature require-
ment, the orals and the noticeable
lack of class discussion will be pre-
sented to the Faculty Curriculum
Committee at a joint meeting No-
vember 17.
Since there is’ no set rule as to
what literature courses are accept-
able for the requirement, a stand-
ardization of the requirement has
been recommended. The recogni-
tion of Russian literature in trans-
lation has been ‘suggested as a
means of decreasing the size of the
English survey and Greek litera-
ture classes.

mittee felt that each department

Alliance Urges College
Attend Talks On
* Cold War
Dear Readers:
The conference on “Communist
Powers in the Cold War,” which
takes place today and tomorrow,
was planned by the Alliance board
to provide for a more complete
consideration of a question than is
possible in a single lecture. Be-
cause of people’s tendency to gen-
eralize about communism, we feel
it is important now to examine the
conditions of the major communist
powers, Russia, Yugoslavia, and
China, and re-evaluate their posi-
tions in relation to each other and
to the rest of the world.
Since this program has been
planned as a complete unit, it is
hoped that, pgople will plan to at-
tend all of the lectures and take
part in the final discussion relating
the sessions to each other.. The
speakers will be eating in halls
Thursday for lunch and dinner, so
that everyone interested may have
a chance to meet and talk infor-
mally with them. %
Sincerely,
The Alliance Board,

Prof. Dudden' Discusses
Issues Raised By
Election
Eisenhower is in a much strong-
er position than his Congress, said
Mr.’ Dudden in.his Current Events
talk, “Divided We Stand”, on Mon-
day evening.
The Democratic victory was ob-
tained in a _ thoughtfully voted
election which followed the normal
mid-term trend by less of a mar-
gin than usual. lt was a “drift to
the Democrats, but no more” with
their majority comprised of 29
house seats, 2 senatorial positions
and 6 governorships.
The ‘Committee chairmanships
going to the Democrats and the
Democratic domination»of the com-
mittee are important considera-
tions, for one can predict to a cer-
jtain extent the probable reaction
to the legislation put before them.
Some of the observations made
were:
1. The Armed Services Commit- -
tees will both be headed by Georg-
ians who are friendly to the Serv-
ices.
2. The tax issue will probably
be saved for 1956.
8. Government spending will be
in the hands of Byrd and Cannon
who are both.extremely “tight-fist-
ed”.
4. There willbe increased trust-
busting activity, especially where
| the two giants are Ford and.GM.
5. The Democrats are eager to
use their investigating powers
against their political opponents.
‘McCarthy’s Committee will now be
headed by a mild-mannered Chi-
cagoan named Dawson. The FHA
investigations must continue and
will hurt the Democrats.
Luckier If Lost
The Democrats will be obliged
to act as obstructionists in order
to challenge Ike, as they must do
with the approach of ’56. Mr. Dud-
den feels that they would have
been luckier in the face of the
coming election if they had lost the
Senate this time, because their
margin in that chamber is-so slim
that they will take all~the blame
and get no credit for what happens.
The speaker next presented an
analysis of _the, issues revealed
by the election results. Nixon
dominated the Republican. cam--
paign with the formula from 1952,
“K-1, C-3” (Korea, Communism,
Corruption and Controls). The
value of the last three will endure
until ’56, although the ending of
the Korean situation did not bring
the Republicans the credit it should
have. This will not be an issue.
If the farmers are suffering,
farm prices will be an issue, but
100% parity will not get national |
backing. The Democrats will dis-
prove the charge that they are soft
on Communists. They will do it
more smoothly than McCarthy, but
the answer will be the same.
Suggestion
Public vs. private power will con-
tinue to be an issue. Mr. Dudden
suggests that if the Democrats are
smart they will adopt the popular
role of Conservatism,-as Neuberger
did in Oregon.
The Democratic gain in govern-
orships may not mean much, al-
though it indicates vitality in areas
where they have been weak.
When the significance of the
election for leading personalities
is considered, Eisenhower’s popu-
larity was unhurt and probably en-
hanced by his campaigning. Nix-
on’s status is about the same; had
the Repubileans won, however, it
would have added greatly to his
importance. Stevenson is unquali-
fiably the spokesman for the Dem-
ocratic party. The professor dis-
putes the statement that FDR, Jr.
is .all through, _mainly on the
grounds that Roosevelt is-a magie-
al name at the polls.

Carpenter needed to revisit. the
ruins of that wonderful old world.

Turkey Underdeveloped
Definitely impressed by the mo-
ral and economic prosperity of
Greece, Mr. Carpenter was, on the
other hand, struck by the contin-
ued backwardness of Turkey.
Primitive houses, almost no mod-
ernization, and bad roads charac-
terized the coastal section of Tur-
key that he visited, although there
is said to be great improvement in
the central areas.
As a tourist’s paradise, Mr. Car-
penter thinks that Greece and Tur-
key hold as much interest as west-
ern Europe, with the exception of
Italy. -Last summer, he said,
__Greece was overrun with tourists,
and tourism was recognized and
promoted as a major financial re-
source.
with its unrivaled beauty and_its
remnants of six different civiliza-
tions (Hittite, Phrygian, Greek,
Roman, Islamic and Turkish), will
soon realize its own potentialities
for tourism.
The chief drawback of the trip
was, naturally, lack of time. Dur-
ing the nineteen-day cruise, twen-
ty-seven different sites were visit-
ed, ranging from Olympia in the
west along the Turkish coast to
Istanbul in the east. That requires
‘not just cramming,:but concentrat-
ed cramming! However, Mr. Car-
‘penter was very much pleased by
the trip, and says that the hundred}
tourists were “bubbling over.” |
On the non-academic side, Mr.
Carpenter enjoyed doing “back|
dives and back flips overboard into
the blue Aegean Sea.” It sounds
was as well fulfilled for the guides
as for the tourists—plenty of fun
combined with education at its
best.

comprehension, students can take
advantage of interest tests and
study counseling. The latter serv-
ice is particularly helpful to the
student who is overwhelmed by
papers and exams and has not de-
veloped proper study habits. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Broderson it is
likely that a student-who is not a
poor reader according to the na-
tional average ‘will need help at
Bryn Mawr. This is due to the fact
that the average is 300-350 words
per minute, while Bryn Mawr ex-
pects students to read 400 words
per minute. 4
Another important part of the
Child Institute program is running
the nursery school. In addition to
offers an excellent opportunity for
psychology students to Aes
study children.
The Institute boasts a staff of
two psychiatrists, two full time
psychiatric social workers, two full
time psychologists and one part
time psychological assistant. These
people administer individual tests
in the Lower Merion schools and
also counsel children if they are
referred to the institute by parents
or teachers. This counseling serv-
ice supports four-fifths of the In-
stitute’s expenditures, while the
college provides the difference.
The Institute also administers
the reading tests given to incom-
ing freshmen each fall. From the
results of the tests it is determined
which students need reading help.

‘Holyokers’ Give Learned Illumination
Of Tradition, Symbolism Of ‘Pinning’
From the pages of the Mount

“1, A pin, commonly sur-named
‘fraternity’ is a minute piece
of jewelry, square, round, ob-
long, star-shaped, diamond-

Jane Martin, M. B.
In Returning To Bryn Mawr As Wardens
yy
ternity men ignore the fine|~
y Kisselgoff, ’58
For the information of those
seniors who have wandered into
Radnor or Denbigh and have found
a face that was familiar to them
in freshman days, let us firmly
state that these are not students
who have been held back!
The familiar face in Denbigh be-
\jlongs to Miss Jane Martin who
graduated from Bryn Mawr in ’53.
and Radnor’s familiar physiogno-
my belongs to Miss Mary-Berenice
Morris, ’52. If you haven’t guess-
ed by now, Miss Martin and Miss
Morris are the wardens of Denbigh
and Radnor, respectively.
What is it, like. to come back to
the school ré You spent your
undergrad days, especially when
you are in a totally different posi-
tion? “Well,” Miss Martin said,
“you almost feel like a freshman.
again.” In fact, Miss Morris said
thatthe first night, the seniors,
seeing a new face at the table, kept
asking her if she were not a fresh-
man. This of course, was not an
insult, but rather a compliment to
the youthful appearance which both
wardens possess. —
New Viewpoint
Although it is “like coming
home”, both wardens find they cer-
tainly do view the college with a
different perspective, as compared
with undergraduate days. As far
as hall life is concerned, one of
the main differences is the rela-
tionship with the girls. For in-
stance, girls who knew Miss Mar-
tin before have a hard time keep-
ing themselves from calling her
“Jane”. Also, “Miss Martin” must
have sounded a bit strange at first
to the Denbigh warden.
A point of interest is that the
Radnor warden had lived in Den-
bigh during college days, while
Denbigh’s warden had lived in
Radnor. Both came back to B.M.C.
for the same reason: they are in-
terested in college administrative
work, and feel that acting as war-
dens provides a good background
Morris Switch Halls
for this.
Miss Martin had majored in
English history, and after college,
not being sure whether she would
teach or not, she decided to try an-
other field. Thus, Miss Martin spent
“a wonderful year” in New York
City, living with some other girls,
including Joyce Greenhow, a B.M.C.
alumna, while she was employed
by the New York Life Insurance
Company.
Opportunity for Study
While working in the: business
field was an interesting experience,
Miss Martin prefers “to work with
people”. She finds the opportunity
to do so in her job as warden, and
at the same time she has a chance
to graduate study.
Miss Morris, who majored in
Spanish literature and spent her
junior year in Mexico, has been
absent from B.M.C. for two years.
The first was spent traveling in
Europe, and the second, working in
New York City in the treasury de-
partment of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.
Miss Morris had originally planned
to work only temporarily for the
company, but “temporarily” became
one year. In the process, Miss
Morris said, she learned quite a bit
about the legal aspects of buying
and transferring stocks and bonds.
College administration work is,
however, the goal of ‘both Miss
Martin and Miss Morris, and in be-
ing trained for this, both seem to
be enjoying their work as _ hall
wardens.

Manning Reminisces About the Deanery
During the “Reign” of M. Carey Thomas
“Speaking as the oldest inhabi-
tant and not as a historian”, Mrs.
Helen Taft Manning reminisced
about the early days of the Dean-
ery to the seniors at an informal
dessert, October 27. While guests
sipped coffee and munched the
Deanery’s’ traditional dessert,
Deanery Devils, Mrs. Manning re-
called how differently undergradu-
ates now appeared in the Deanery
from the days of M. Carey Thom-
-!cream and marron glaces.
“I can remember,” remarked
Mrs. Manning, “receiving as.a-sen-
ior an engraved invitation for 8:30
at the Deanery for such and such
a date. We always wore high heels
and our very best evening dress
which trailed down to the floor.”
Before dinner seniors would
gather in a circle ‘around Miss
Thomas for a little discussion. “At
each gathering Miss Thomas al-
ways asked, ‘What would you like
to discuss this evening?’ However,
the discussion was always the
samey—what were we going to do
tafter Bryn Mawr—marriage or ca-
reer? This seemed to be Miss
Thomas’s favorite subject, and
she always had advice for both.” ;
"Dinner Delicious
Later Mrs. Manning added, “Miss
) ‘| Thomas was a great feminist. She
always urged students to go on.
But if we were going to marry,
she felt our husbands should help
in caring for the children.”
Dinner with Miss Thomas began
with hot chocolate topped with
whipped cream and ended with ice
Since
Miss. Thomas didn’t approve of
chocolate (except in hot choco-
late), tutti frutti_ ice cream or
something of the sort was served.
Also, seniors were allowed to take
home extra marron glaces in their
handkerchiefs.
The history of the Deanery dates

Mawr when Miss Thomas was ap-
pointed dean of the college. She

Varsity And JV: Nikos Teams Defeat.
Chestnut Hill 5-1, 4-0 In Slow Matches
especially contributed by
Joan Parker, °57
On Thursday, Nov. 2, the Bryn
Mawr hockey teams added two
more victories to this year’s list.
The varsity won by a score of 5-1,
while the J.V. score was 4-0.
These games with Chestnut Hill
‘were very slow, in contrast to the
playing in previous weeks. In the
first half of the varsity game,
there were too many fouls and too
little thoughtful planning. In the
second half, Bryn Mawr came back
with determination and kept the
ball in front of the opponents’ goal
much of the time.
Diana Scott, who made the first
‘.goal, and Sara Stiffler played very
well. Pat Hill, who came in for
‘the second half, fought hard and
scored two goals, while Janet. Het-
zel and Gwen Johnson were respon-
sible for the other two.

ferent from last week’s and the

The wet dullness of the leaves no
‘longer tempts you to scuff through

like brown wrapping paper and
chewing gum. The many-pointed
stars of the leaves lie flat on the

coloured leaf to pin to her dress,
for the colour has melted-into the
pavement.
Mourning Robe
A leaden sky, alive with jeering
rooks, is barely lightened by the
untarnished yellow of unfallen
leaves. A heavy sticky mist begins
to beat at them and weight them
in slow spirals to the ground. The
still-spring green of the grass is
covered in a fading mourning robe.
A few seeds shit the leaves’ soggy
mat with a thud, and shifting un-
der the candy wrappers and old
play bills, slide to stillness on the
wet ground. They may hold great
portent but they show little prom-

Last week the United Service

an emergency appeal from the
American Friends, asking fora
contribution to their food purchas-
ing plan for needy peoples qur-
ope and Asia. Each dollar donated
is matched by $100 worth of food,
due to the AFSC’s ability to buy
for the very low price of %c per
pound.,
Bryn Mawr donated $100 from
the USF reserve fund to the
American Friends’ project of buy-
ing surplus food from the govern-
ment, and sending it overseas to
underfed people. This means: that
we have made possible the ship-
ing of 40,000 pounds of milk, but-
ar, and cheese, the average value
f which is $10,000!

Recognition of China
New York, November heh con
“There are two views on Red China
first, that since the Peking govern-
ment controls most of China, it
should be recognized in the UN,
and second, that since the Peking
government seized the country by
force, it should not be recognized
as the real government of China,”
said Sidney Bailey, representative
of the British Friends Service
Committee to the United Nations.
Mr. Bailey was the first speaker at
the American Friends Service
Committee College Seminar on
Red China in the United Nations.
China Problem
One of the main questions pre-
sented at the seminar was what
to do with Nationalist China if Red
China were admitted to the UN.
Several suggestions were made,
among which. were: admission of
Red-—China and retention of Na-
tionalist China; and, more popular-
ly received, recognition of Red
China, and admission of Chiang’s
government as that of Formosa. A
legal problem was presented by
this latter suggestion, however.
Since Formosa is part of China,
it would be difficult to recognize
part of the lawful territory of one
country as another country.
The consensus on the problem of
Red China and the UN, as present-
ed by various delegates, was that
Red China should be recognized
by the United Nations. Only the
member of the U.S. delegation dif-
fered from this opinion.
In the Korean War, the UN could
not deal with Communist China,
since it was not a. member nation.
The opposition to the admission
of Red China hinged upon the ar-
gument that Red China was an ag-
gressor nation in Korea, and could
not be recognized since the UN
Charter specified that all nations
in the UN must be peace-loving at
the time of their admission or rec-
| ognition.

The portrayal of Jonathan’s ac-
complice, Dr. Herman Einstein,
was perhaps the best of the per-
formance. With his authentic-
sounding accent and mad-scientist
mannerisms, Harvey Phillips show-
ed a greater knack for humor and
character interpretation than any
other player, and, as far as we are
concerned, nearly stole the show.
Small Parts Rough
The smaller men’s roles—Dr.
Harper, Mr. Witherspoon, Mr.
Gibbs, and Officer O’Hara—werg
played fairly well, though little of
the professional could be seen in
their acting. As these parts were
Lsmall, they didn’t detrags too much
from the performance as a whole.
In spite of the few minor mis-
haps, Arsenic was very pleasant
entertainment. We can look for-
ward with no misgivings to future
productions this year.

Recognition of China
New York, November heh con
“There are two views on Red China
first, that since the Peking govern-
ment controls most of China, it
should be recognized in the UN,
and second, that since the Peking
government seized the country by
force, it should not be recognized
as the real government of China,”
said Sidney Bailey, representative
of the British Friends Service
Committee to the United Nations.
Mr. Bailey was the first speaker at
the American Friends Service
Committee College Seminar on
Red China in the United Nations.
China Problem
One of the main questions pre-
sented at the seminar was what
to do with Nationalist China if Red
China were admitted to the UN.
Several suggestions were made,
among which. were: admission of
Red-—China and retention of Na-
tionalist China; and, more popular-
ly received, recognition of Red
China, and admission of Chiang’s
government as that of Formosa. A
legal problem was presented by
this latter suggestion, however.
Since Formosa is part of China,
it would be difficult to recognize
part of the lawful territory of one
country as another country.
The consensus on the problem of
Red China and the UN, as present-
ed by various delegates, was that
Red China should be recognized
by the United Nations. Only the
member of the U.S. delegation dif-
fered from this opinion.
In the Korean War, the UN could
not deal with Communist China,
since it was not a. member nation.
The opposition to the admission
of Red China hinged upon the ar-
gument that Red China was an ag-
gressor nation in Korea, and could
not be recognized since the UN
Charter specified that all nations
in the UN must be peace-loving at
the time of their admission or rec-
| ognition.

‘Chris was as effective as she was
allowed to be.
In the part of Teddy Brewster,
the old ladies’ nephew who has de-
lusions of being Teddy Roosevelt,
Richard Rivers was well cast. He
wps good, though not outstand-
ing, as a noisy, harmless madman,
and showed ‘admirable stage pres-
ence on several occasions.
Maniac Well Portrayed
Much to everyone’s amusement,
Jonathan Brewster,” the maniac
who resembles Boris Karloff, was
played by Charles Adams. He was
a bit stiff in the first act, but loos-
ened up later on, and, with the ad-
vantage of his gruesome make-up,
was very amusing.
The portrayal of Jonathan’s ac-
complice, Dr. Herman Einstein,
was perhaps the best of the per-
formance. With his authentic-
sounding accent and mad-scientist
mannerisms, Harvey Phillips show-
ed a greater knack for humor and
