ploded on Hiroshima, this review
er had blown her top! The movie
makes a few minor concessions to
truth by admitting that the dis
covery of atomic energy is ter
rible force for good or evil and
that its discovery was the col
lective effort of men and women
of many nations.
But its total effect is a subtle
indoctrination of the audience for
an acceptance of American monop-
oily and concentration of the de-
structive use of a force which
could be the constructive hope of
mankind.

An Essay on Morals by Philip
WYlie. Rinehart & Co.. $3.50.

Mr.. Wylie's essay into the
realms of philosophic thought is
like side-show barker trying to
convince you that the Venus Of
Milo is about to throw off the last
veil in a corner of the Louvre. II
just won't come off-in spite OF
the racket made about the event.
This arrogant and feeble at
tempt to formulate a philosophy
for modern man crystalizes into
an antithesis of everything he
hoped to achieve in writing it.
Basically it fails in its funda-
mental purpose to give ga very
clear answer to every individual
and collective problem" Hear.
Hear!
OF all thought, philosophic
should have the greatest clarity
however shallow or penetrating
it may be. Philosopher Wylie's
thought, despite its lack of depth,
is extremely foggy, if not soupy,
and his efforts to convey its con-
tent result in a miserable failure.
An empty vessel yields nothing.
THE three-fold answer to every
individual and collective problem

1. MGM, working with the most
explosive material ever portrayed
on the screen-the story of the
atom bomb-has succeeded in pro-
-aducing nothing more than an ex-
pensive dud.
Here was a potential story of
dramatic intensity such as a pro-
ducer may get his hands on once
in a lifetime.
Given such material. the
movie industry might have pro-
duced tremendously exciting
and valuable film. The sad
fact is that The Beginning or
the End" is not only dull film.

and undignified treatment of
what may well be the beginning
or the end of mankind.

honey "just folks" F. d. r. is
portrayed as an insulting carica-
ture reminiscent of the Tribune's
cartoon figure of the broad grin
and long cigarette holder.
The whole terrible, wonderful
story of mans discovery of atomic
energy is turned into an apology
for Hiroshima and paean OF
praise for American Initiative
and enterprise"
Ii you have either the bad
judgment or the bad luck to see
the film, few sample scenes may
give you forewarning of what
IS in store for you.
GEN. Leslie Groves and other
military figures wait for the news
that Hiroshima has been wiped
out in the most stupendous mass
destruction in history. AS the boys
grow impatient for word that the
mission has been accomplished

worse than having a babyi"

munism is simply group stupid

THE THESIS offered us is any
thing but scientific or an elabora-
ton of instinct. If these were the
authors intentions he would bet
ter to have expounded Presby-
terianism, which he undoubtedly
would have found within the lin

A very active trade developed in
the cattle section toward the end

was a falling off Of receipts ap-

been a noticeable drop in average
killing quality in the past two
weeks, particularly this week.
