Rhyne V (Th Daily Tar Heel wishes to announct that it will hence forth review on this page those local films which seem of ex ceptional interest and merit, so that these reviews will appear during the local run of the film.) MOVIE REVIEW: FOUR BAGS FULL The French are probably best known locally for three things: Briggitte Bardot. a certain kiss, and among the less frivolous lor the philosophy known as existentialism. Singly or in var.ous com-; binations, these three highly exportable French commodoties have consistently reappeared in French movies which have enjoyed con-" siderable American success: thus, we have seen the aforementioned Miss Bardot as a kissing existentialist of one sort or another at least f - half a dozen times in the past year: ' "Four Bags Full," the French import playing at the Varisty Theatre through tonight, is a departure from the usual formula. Thev only pretty girl in it appears only briefly; and fully clothed; and there's not an existentialist in sight, in such a setting, needless to say, the French love-making technique is unexplored. All this means is that "Four Bags Full" is a change from the ordinary and it is quite true that the off-beat nature of the picture adds .to its fac- cinatjon. 'i..H But the picture is even more satisfying as i art than it is as a change of diet. It is a character '.I study, the type of movie which Hollywood rare ly attempts but for which the French have long been known. In the case of "Four Bags Full," the central characters are Mar tin (Bourvil) and Grandgil (Jean Gabin). Their predicament, in. which their disparate natures are developed and displayed, involves the transport of four bags of black market pork across Nazi-occupied Paris during the Second World War. The situation is simple, and the only real sub plot is even less complicated. Martin is a simple Frenchman who eakes out his living by run ning black market meat around Paris. His accomplicecaptured, Mar; tin one night picks a stranger, Grandgil, to assist him, not knowing that his new partner is a well-known and well-heeled artist who agrees to be thus employed merely because the idea intrigues him. After the artist has throughly exposed the meat supplier as a coward and forced him to double his price for the job, the two companions set off across the city. On their way they meet, among others, a prostitute, several policemen, a barkeeper and his wife, and the German army. In each encounter the artist demonstrates the character weakness of each of his adversaries, as he alone, the artist, remains unfrightened and clear-sighted. Everyone else is either afraid, or criminal, or selfish; and all of them tre summed up in Martin, who is too afraid to be really daring, and who engages in ers as "The .King,", took a seven inch letter opener crime meainly to keep his wife, whom he sincerely loves. up to the hilt in his chest, the immediate reaction "Four Bags Full" is not a comedy as we usually understand of the New York gum shoes was that the race issue the word.

Everyone agrees that nuclear warfare would be so incredibly destructive as to produce mass ex termination, t ' History teaches that a community, whether Id eal, state or na tional, can be come and re main peaceful only sc long as law pievails in that community. People through out the world understand this function of law in the domestic area. But the re grettable fact is that people do not yet compre hend what la can do for them in the world community. The need for law in the world community is indeed the greatest gap in the growing. structure of civilization. This situation contains a tremendous challenge and a great re sponsibility for lawyers. We lawyers know that if the existing gap in civilization's growing structure is to be filled with law, the concept of peace under law must be sold to the public so that governments will react to the pressure of public opinion and take essential step.s to create the legal mechanism which is needed. I therefore suggest to you that we of the legal profession must launch a world-wide program of leadership in selling world peace through law. Law yers are the logical leaders in this program.

Letter s & Replies To The Student Body: ' I had a deeply unfortunate in cident to happen to me the oth er day. Upon eating breakfast on Friday morning I placed my Latin and Math book on one of the shelves In the Lenior Dining Hall, put there for that purpose. Upon returning after breakfast my Math II book was missing. I am not an overly-cautious per son but when I invest my money in a book I immediately place four marks on a certain page in . the book whether or not I plan to keep it. I do not believe in condemn ing a man especially since I be lieve that someone took the book by mistake, neither would I think ot checking all the 800 or so Math II books. Not only would it take time but it would be ex tremely embarrassing for the in dividual who mistakenly took the book. All I ask, all I can ask is that each of you check your books and if you find you have the wrong Math II book, to re place it on the shelf in Lenoir Hall. ! Thank You, Hubert M.

Talk of the group, which began to fade from Ne gro community life in the late thirties, was the first indication that it may still have some influence among certain Negro elements throughout the country. To enable law to contribute its potential service for the benefit of mankind by achieving and maintain ing world peace, this Court must be expanded into many courts. We must have a world court system with a trial court branch in each nation, regional intermediate appellate courts, and the International Court of Justice serving as the Court of last resort I would also like to point out that traffic or parking violations, are tried by the Student Traffic Council and if at any time a stu dent lies in testimony, he is sub ject to Honor Council action, not because he was a parking viola "Although we are not yet certain what motivated this assault, such horrible crimes are inevitable in tion, but because he lied to those the climate of violence which has been created in cidents involved. cident to the struggle for freedom ahd integration.

It's just as logical to make the same punishment available to the U's cashier to help collect student fees.

Terence ' An age-old and apparently ever lasting problem came Up again with the mass of students who went to the State game. Everything seemed to be run ning pretty smoothly at the student entrance gate. There were the us ual lines, but theyywere moving 5 fairly rapidly. , I .The catch came when the stu dents tried to enter the sections designated on their tickets. The National Anthem played, the kick off was made and the minutes of the first quarter began to roll by. The line was not flowing with any degree of ease until the sec end quarter had begun. . Just what the basic cause of this problem is difficult to say, One student was standing in the swelt ering anob commented, "I guess " when the others get out there (to the seating area), they forget what it is like to be back here (under the temporary stands)." A factor which should help a great deal to ease this situation is to issue tickets without any judiciary. That Court is there and can function for peace today if it is but used. In the Formosa Strains we face a situation which could trigger world-wide conflagration, but which should go to court not war for decision. The con troversy between England and Iceland is another dispute which the International Court of Justice could decide. The Suez controversy and many more come to mind where the rule of law could perform great public service for the cause of peace. In the race between development of a system of specific seat designated on them just "student section." The time soent looking for a par ticular seat certainly causes some world ccurts and the destruction of civilization in confusion and adds to the wai;ing a thermonuclear war, it would lend great impetus time Quite often the-seats desig- to recognition of the value of law in the settlement nated on the ticket are already disputes between nations if the United Nations . would seize the initiative and refer the Formosa .taken. .. . .. . . .
