have no choice now but to get to the
Earle as fast as they can and pay
their proper tribute TO cinema epic.
In this epic film, one of the great
story tellers of the English language
is amplified in all his dimensions, his
humanity most OF all. Great Expec-
tations" is a love story. not only in
the usual sense of emotional cyclone
between the sexes, but in many of
loves aspects which are seldom
stressed in the movies.
Cineguild has produced it with a
iusty feeling for its murky, eerie ro-
mantle adventure. Moreover, it has
cast it with a whole album full Of
unforgettable performers. John Mills,
Valerie Hobson, Jean Simmons, An
thony Wager, Francis Sullivan, Fin
lay Currie and Martha Hunt are the
names of a few that American
moviegoers will have no trouble re-
membering hereafter.
In it's demonstration that Dickens
Is one of the greatest of screen
writer's, the Earles picture is a
masterpiece of ,unadulterated excite
ment. 1t is prodigal not merely in
It's employment of thrilling incident
but in its revelations of human mo-
tives. In Dickens hands, the SIM
plest people become prodigious and
nothing happier could happen to the
movies.
:'Great Expectations" is the story
of boy who falls in love with a
beautiful girl, and with life itself,
and who has a tascinatingly adven-
turous time avoiding being the tragic
dupe OF both.
The boy, if any one has forgotten,
Is Pip. He is an orphan apprenticed
Evening star., 1947-07-10

He is doomed instantly to be the
slave of the harsh, witch-like pair
of females; the one crone, the
other young, lovely and heartless.
Respite comes in young manhood
when he is told he may now have
great expectations, that nameless
benefactor has set aside the means
to make him a gentleman. He sud-
denly sees fate as kind, as throw
ing up in this gesture bridge which
he may cross to find Estella on the
other side. He finds her, but again
he is betrayed-in a fashion that
only Dickens and the picture are
entitled to explain.

to a blacksmith but destined to be-
come a gentleman, in other words a
lad plucked from the lower level OF
English society and permitted to
entertain the widest of expecta tions.
Boy and handsome young man, he
is the perfect screen hero OF all
classes and ages.
1t is a wondrous gallery of humans
that Dickens dealt with in Great
Expectations" They are tailored to
produce every conceivable dramatic
effect from almost intolerable sus-
pense to broad, relaxing comedy;
from heartbreak to eXaltation. Di-
rector David Lean and his expert
| players see that no mite OF the
drama in any of these characters is
missed. 1t follows that audiences
are confronted then by one OF the
most highly energized screen stories
they ever encountered.
Leans approach to Dickens mar
rative is to plunge into it and never
let UP on the suspense.
The grave, good lad Pip is In
troduced to audiences in the act
of putting flowers on his parents
grave. He turns from that touch
ing filial act to find the hands OF
Magwitch, the escaped convict,
around his throat. Innocents sell
dom are introduced with such vio-
lence. In Pip's case, this is merely
beginning. He gets respites but
never reprieves from an endlessly
exciting destiny.
From the graveyard, the mudfats
and the convict's capture, he goes
on to the more enduring of his ad-
ventures. He becomes the play
mate of Estella, the beautiful child
who lives in the cobwebby, dust
buried castle that Miss Havisham
has drawn over her like a tomb.

BY. SENATOR CLAUDE PEPPER

Dear FrieAs: ."'. 3i'slI I
Week bSweek,5 I'VE are seeing
what it mbns to have the Re-
publican Pity in control of our
Congress. t e last Congress pass
ed the Reorganization Bill, We
streamlined 1.-The Congress, cut
down Confessional Committees
to a few andgave each Standing
Committee il the Senate for as
sistance, fom experts. In addi-
ton, we gaze each Standing
Committee up to six clerks. We
thought that would put an end
to expensive special committees
with numerous highly paid en-
ployes and much extra expense.
But the first thing the Repub-
icans did in the Senate when
the new session convened was to
set up two special committees
again, each of which, of course,
is to have numerous expensive
employees and each of which will,
of course, spend a lot of extra
money.
Then along comes President
Humans nomination of the
Atomic Energy Control Commits
SION. The five men named by the
President, including David Lii
ienthal, former Chairman of the
IVA, as chairman, won almost
unanimous and hearty support
from the country. While Senator
McKeller of Tennessee has led
the opposition to Lilienthal, Che
has long been at outs with Mr.,
Llllenthal because it is alleged
Lilienthal would not let the Sen
ator have the patronage on the
IVA as he had it in the other
political jobs in Tennessee), the
McKeller fight would have had
no more significance than the
Senator's former attacks upon
Llllenthal, had not Republican
Senate leaders joined the Nickel
lar fight which has now culmi-
mated in bitter attack by SEN
ator Taft, the recognized Repub-
lican leader of the Senate. The
real basis of the attack on Lilien-
thai is that he has believed in
the development of public pow
er as well as private power for
the people of this country: that
he is not the tool of the special
interests and that just as he has
tried to use the great water pow
er of the Tennessee Valley for
the benefit of the people and not
to enrich private monopoly, he
will try to develop Atomic En-
ergy for the benefit of the peo-
pie of the world and not turn
it over to a few world cartels to
make a few men rich.

termined to cut the Presidents
Budget. The House, dominated by
the Republicans, cut the budget
nearly a sixth, by six billion dol
lars. Senate Republicans, getting
frightened by the roar of protest
from the country and from the
heads of the armed services here
and abroad that such a cut would
imperil the national security and
our position in the world today,
have tried to compromise on four
and a half billions cut.
President Truman had already
cut the budget of the army and
navy to the very bone. In fact,
the service heads gravely feared
that the President, himself, had
gone below the margin of safety
for the country. But they Loyalty
stood behind the President,
knowing the fight he was going
to have to face in Congress to
get even what he asked. Wheth-
er the final cut of four and half
billions or six billions, it is going
to mean that General Macarthur
in Japan, and General Clay in
Germany are not going to be able
to do the full job they have to
do 1t will mean a cut in research
funds for both the army and the
navy and might keep this coun-
try from maintaining the lead it
now has in war weapons. 1t will
mean a cut in the aid agriculture
now receives from the govern
