WISE AND OTHERWISE;
Should Sputnik
Scare Lead To
U.Ss Sharing?
By WHIT WHITFIELD
Since the beginning of the Sput
nik scare there has been in increa
sing amount of pressure put on
the administration to share our
atomic secrets with our allies,
parlicularly the members of NA
TO. Whether this will be done is
a matter of conjecture. Whether
it should be done may not be.
According to the United Press a
young clerk, riding through the
streets of London on his motor
cycle as some Britishers are
prone to do, came upon a briefcase-
containing documents con
cerning Britain's latest rocket
developments. Where they came
from, no one seemed to know, for
the Ministry of Supply refused lo
confirm or deny the report. This
happeued over two weeks ago. and
we have seen no further develop
ments. A long the same lines. British
newspapers were filled with head
lines over the failure of the Van
gu?rd launching. This is good
for British pride. It helps them
forget that they have done little
more than follow our lead in the
field of atoms and missiles, and at
that they must be quite far behind,
for we have seen no reports of Bri
tish advances of particular import
since the defeat of the Armada,
There will alwrys be an Eng
land, but sometimes it is advisable
to do a little mor than just exist,
i Before any Ar.fclo-Saxon patriot
considers mavhem. we might point
out tiiat our gretit-great-great was
from the isles.
Some soloii aren't so level-headed
as olhcrs'itepartment: In a re
cent radio panel discussion. Sena
tor .John M. Butler It-MI) .said
that he Ixlivves that the United
States should shoot down the Russ
ian satellite's as fast as they
launch them!
How to do this, and whether or
net this would precipitate a full
scale a omic war. was not cover
ed by Sen. Butler. It is safe to
assume that this is not the con
servative Republican policy, or if
it is. it may be a good idea to
keep t lie Democrats in control of
('ingress. It nuiy le a good idea
for any reason.
Madison Avenue Department:
One of the new Marlboro men is
spoi tinq a Vol Brynner as well as
a taltoo. This could be a sin of
the times.
We understand that many of the
leading menial institutions in the
L'. S. are building annexes for the
people who count the tiny fillers in
Viceroys. One such gentleman
swears that there are only 15.000
or so.

READERS' REPOSITORY:
Brooks Says Solons Did Wash
Hands' Of Delegates' Opinions
Letter to the Kditor:
The Student Legislature of UXC
is a xti-niylij-f-.rvnrd thinking
component of Student Government.
Its action on the SSL Bill before
it last Thursday evening was "ma
ture and rational". The honorable
editor flubbed, in relying upon the
DTH reporter's account of the leg
islature's activities as being ac
curate. He would have done well
to have inspected the original
source of information before ex
pounding upon believed falaeies of
the legislature.
.lust as I was erroneously label
ed a member of the UP. so the
amendment to the proposed SSL
Hill was incorrectly reported to
have said "the UNC delegation to
the SSL shall not in any way he
considered as officially represent
ing ihc University or the students
attending UNC."
The amendment passed by the
Student Legislature said "the UNC
delegation to the SSL shall in no.
way be considered as officially re
presenting the "views" of the Uni
versity or the students attending
UNC."
Close examination of the SSL
and the Bill passed concerning it
reveals that:
1) The SSL is an activity which
warrants participation by UNC.
2i The delegatiou endorsed bv
the Student Legislature of UNC
dees efficially represent the Uni
ersity of North Carolina.
(3 The legislature acted upon
by the SSL is mock legislation
and does not involve the Univer
sity directly as it would in the case
where the acts passed on national
and state issues became actual
laws of the land and where the
acts passed directly involved the
University such as actually levy
ing a tax upon the UNC or ils
Student Hotly.
(4 1 Passage of mock legislation
does not warrant official repre
sentation of the "views" of the
University which would require
t he expense of popular election of
the UNC delegation or the direct
election of the delegates by the
Student Legislature itself.
'5 The UNC delegation when
approved becomes completely auto
nomous in all matters.
With or without the passage ol
Thursday evening's SSL Bill, the
UNC Student Legislature is res
ponsible for the UNC delegation
to the S;ate Student Legislature.
Should it misbehave or get into
trouble, the Student Legislature is
responsible. For this reason t he
Legislature felt it should have the
right of approval of the delegates
involved.
Thus, the Legislature passed a
good bill legalizing the official
SSL delegation and making it res
ponsible to itself in all matters.
The Student Legislature not only
attempted, but succeeded in
"washing its hands of the respon
sibility for opinions expressed by
the delegation." In a Student
Legislative jargon, the Legisla
ture's action last Thursday even
ing was "mature and rational."
Just How Big

Overheard: Two boys, one from
Charlotte and one from Salisbury,
arguing about recent growth of
the Queen City and its extension

The Salisbury man had a gotd
point: Must how overcrowded is a
city when an elephant gets loose
in the corporate limits and it
takes hunters two weeks to find
it?"

ACTORS INTERVIEWED
Backstage With
Massey & Gabel
FRANK CROWTHER
After leaving Miss Agnes Moorehead last Fri
day, I went to Memorial Hall ta meet Raymond
Massey and Martin Gabel. Two of the show's assist
ants were on stage arranging the set and testing
the lighting equipment. I walked into the men's
dressing room and sat down to wait for the twu
principals.
Spread out on the table was a conglomeration
of make-up sticks and tubes, towels by the dozen
e,xtra mirrors, two pocket watches, a plastic-sponge
- nose and the wig that Mr. Massey would wear in his
role as Abe Lincoln.
One of the assistants told me that Massey and
Gabel usually arrived at the theater around 7 p.m.
and that I could probably have about 30 minutes
for the interview. He sat down heavily in the chair
across from me and picked up the whiskey bottle
which was to be used as a prop in the show. "Well,"
he said, "eight more days of this mad business and
I'll be on the plane for California."
I asked him how long they had been on the
road and he replied, "About 11 weeks now. ye
qrtpH en the west coast and will finish un a
week from tomorrow in Newark, New Jersey. That
doesn't finish the show, though; we just get three
weeks off and then come back for 15 additional
Prformances.xMan. I'll really be glad to get cut
from vnder this one."
t. vac iust about to start an interview with him
when I looked out and saw Massey and Gabel stand
ing auietly in the middle of the stase surveying
the auditorium. They appeared more like business
men than actors .
"Don't we have any microphones?" asked Massey.
"No." replied the other assistant, "we'll have to
gr without them tonight." Massey turned anj
walked over to the set.
"Martin." he asked Gabel. "why don't we move
the table up about six inches? That'll be enough
rocm for us, won't it?"
After moving the table and deciding that it vi
in its proper position, they came into the dressin;
room and I was introduced. Gabel sat down in frcnt
of Ms material and said. "Fire Away."
T mentioned that the assistant seemed qui'
fatigued after the long tour and asked if they were
also.
"Yes." said Massey. "it takes a great amour.:
of stamina."
"I think in your case. Raymond," said Gabel
"that it's just a matter of good breeding." They
both laughed and Massey sat down next to GaV:
"You know, when I first came into the theater."
said Massey. "I told my brother about it and he
asked me. 'Arc you going to use your own name
I think I rather surprised him when I said that
was." 2
I asked them how their perspectives hi.
charged over the years that they both had sper
in theater.
"I don't think that it has really been because
of the theater," said Massey. "In almost anythi:.;
you might choose to do there's bound to be a
change. That's just a matter of maturing."
"Yes. I'll have to agree." said Gabel. "I c!c
think, however, that, as far as theatre is concerned,
you sort of move from the avant guarde to a more
conservative state."
I asked in what period of the theater they
would most prefer to participate if they could make
a choice.
"Any period which would give me a good part."
said Massey. laughingly. "I really do think the the
ater was much better, though, before they added
all these new mechanical trimmings."
"I think the English theater of around 18W
would be my choice." said Gabel. "Those days were
much more exciting."
When asked if a man were evaluated by other
in the theater as to his own personal values. Gabe!
replied. "Yes. very definitely, because the theater,
more than any other strata in life, evaluates a man
for his real qualities. It finds out what he is and
what he has to give. In no sense does it judge him
by wealth, social position or which side of the
track he rame from."
"The theater." said Massey. "is completely de
void of snobbery. The values you find there a-o
of ' erv hih order."
"Hr.w much of your personal life do you have
ci- 'o r-r tho theater." I asked.
"At times." said Gabel. quippingly. "too much.
When you have a lot of time to yourself, it's a
siffp. that you're out of work. Actually. I believe
that it's not onlv valuable but extremely nece
sarv to have several other activities."
"An actor who is only an actor." said Mn v
"r sadly limiting himself. I think that in order
have a sense of propoition he ought to write or pr o
duce or direct or do anything but just act."
I asked what they thought of the playvvritcs
Americ? today in comparison to those of ot!ur
countries.
"I think that they are more productive than a!
any other time." claimed Massey. "This particubr
season on Broadway hasn't been too good. hul.
overall, we're in fine shape." I asked" what he
thought of Williams. "Well, he's very gifted .
but he has his morbid tendencies. 'Streetcar' an-:
'Cat On A II"t Tin Roof were prettv good pro -ticns,
but I wish that just once he 'would write a
nlav ahr-nt healthy, rich people. No, not even rich,
just healthy."
Gabel. rcplvinff to the effect that TV has ha I
on theater, said, "I think it has helped the leti
mate theater, but it's hurt and will continue to htr;
the motion pictures. On the other hand, it h.
made the movie industry realize that thev are c
irs to have to leave the assembly line and put oft
quality shows. in this wav. it has helped them"
es. that's so" said Massey. "and I think th:.:
has also made the legitimate theater strong,
than ever. The whole idea behind theater hasp';
r anH: arp sti thpre fo enohant using (he
term broadlv. and to stimulate the imagination."
' jNrtnt have agreed more fully after seu-.K :
la.st Friday's production of "The Rivalry.4'
