Progressive Party Protest

To the Editor Of The Star:
While welcoming the appearance Of your
reporter. John " Horner, at our meeting on
April g. we wish to call your attention to two
inaccuracies published in his story in The
Star OF April 3.
First, 1t was not widely publicized meet
ing as MIR. Horner stated. To include that
statement in his report is to infer that the
turnout was negligible. II it is your practice
to include attendance figures in accounts of
meetings, will you kindly do 30 in reports of
civic federation groups, alongside OF their
resolutions condemning civil rights and up
holding restrictive covenants and aggregation?
Finally Mr.. Horner. closing his article. quotes
q Mr.. "Yaski" as q fighting Yugoslav" What
Mr.. Horner did was to take two separate re-
marks Of this particular speaker lover an
hour and several points on the order Of busi-
ness occurred between the first and second
parts of Mr.. Horners quotation) and combine
them 80 as to imply some sort Of anti-Ameri-
can influence Had your reporter checked his
information with that particular member or
the officers present he would not have mis-
spelled that persons name and would have
found him to be a native-born American citi-
zen.
Between now and the elections The Star
will undoubtedly cover . good share OF the
Progressive Partys forums and meetings You
will find our officers and membership friendly
and cooperative, but at the same time in
sistent that press coverage be objective and
fair. s. A. ABBOTT,
Press Committee, Progressive Party Of Mary
land.
Editors Note: In view Of the publicity given
the meeting to which Mr. Abbott refers, The
Star felt that it was pertinent to report that
1t was attended by 81 persons. The misspell
ing Of Mr. Yalsik's name is regretted.

Mr.. Lawrence Criticized
To the Editor of The Star:
Again and again I've wanted to squawk
about your columnist, David Lawrence. only.
until now, I've been too lazy.
am disguised with his bad reporting. Hardly
. week passes without his coming to q phony
conclusion based on half-information. Today's
april 12) column takes the cake. Brother
Lawrence talks about the wicked Army spread
ing union propaganda els the Army trying to
cuddle up to the big labor unions '?o.
It so happens that my nephew sends me his
copy of Army Talk" each week. And a very
fine Job it is. The Army tries to get men to
discuss current issues and think. That's the
difference between the United States and
totalitarian power. We have an Army OF men
who know what is happening in their country
and who will argue the pros and cons among
themselves. They know what they may son.e-
day have to fight for. Z. P. D.

Little Known Except that Russis
Started Late, Faces Problems
By Thomas X. Hsnry

Now, this last Is per cent Of the road ac-
cording to washington physicists. had lot
of hurdles There were none which could not
be crossed by teams Of competent nuclear
physicists. But. unless there were . series OF
unbelevably fortunate accidents all this would
take time and several of the bombs were al
most certain to turn out "duds" In view OF
the techniques which probably would be fol-
lowed, however, there Is little probability of
q serious accident . premature explosion
which would I'LL the atmosphere with radio
active particles which could be detected on
Geiger counters and create shock waves in the
earth which would be recorded by seisnno-
graphs.
Admittedly . great deal might be accom-
plislaed In almost three years and the Russian
scientific mind Ia quite brilliant.
Perhaps they have something even better.
This is seriously doubted by Washington phys
icists, however.
The picture thus stands that Russians were
late In starting they began with IN made
quate number Of competent nuclear physicists.
and were bound to make many mistakes BE-
fore they got on the right road.
The second phase is that Of engineerirs-
actually producing bombs In quantity after
the scientific principles were clear. Th.3 would
have been difncult, but far from impossible,
Job for Russian engineers. 1t largely depends
on how free hand they have been given and
how much money they have been allowed,
II generally s agreed that II Russia has the
scientiic data necessary for building bomb.
its attainment Ia relatively recent. Nobody VIII
say, however. that It's possession Is Impossible.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Evening star., 1948-10-29
By Harry Macarthur

Hollywood should know by now
that motion picture titles phrased
as questions are dangerous. Some
wiseacre is always ready to turn up
with an answer. 1t is no ones
fault but Paramount's own, then,
when a man subjected to Isn't 1t
Romantic?" manages only to reply
wearily, mo, not very" Things are
much livelier at the Capitol when
Pianist Evalyn Tyner takes charge
to demonstrate. as II that needed
being done again, that she is the
dynamic master of any set of notes
you want to name.
1t Is just barely possible that
some one who was bored after the
first five minutes Of Billy DeWolfe,
and has felt nothing but an in
crease of the pain at each succeed
ing encounter, can't see isn't It
Romantic?" in proper perspective.
There certainly is lot Of Mr.. De
Wolfe around, or maybe it just
seems that way. Anyhow, If the
sight of MIR. De Wolfe imperson-
ating that dim -witted yokel suitor
again is what you have been wait-
ing for, here it Is. Here, also, is
Mr.. De W., giving his all as both
hero and villain In an extensive
musical number that seems to be q
burlesque OF old-time movies.
The Capitols new screen attrac-
ton apparently is an attempt at
one Of those charming turn-of- the
century musical frolics, but it frolics
with a heavy foot and barely man
ages an evanescent Whit of nos
talgia. 1t does have its moments,
of course. The surprise is that it
does not have more of them, since
it was directed by Norman z. Nc
Leod, who has indicated in the past
that he could make a passable COM
edy out of almost anything. Maybe
what happened is that Paramount
felt the same way about him.
The plot Of isn't 1t Romantic?"
Evening star., 1948-10-29

of how love was between Spain'S
most passionate gypsy and much of
that country's male population back
in the early 10Th century. That
kind of love, needless to say, makes
the modern version look imponder-
ably dull, but the latter has the un-
deniable virtue of letting every one
hive longer.
There is more than a hint in
the screenplay that Columbia it
self endorses latter-day romance. At
any rate, it's tongue is obviously in
its cheek in certain of the more pas
sionate passages of Miss Hayworths
performance, as if it rather antici-
pated you might laugh at these. You
clod. 1t is also evident that if you
find these incredible, Miss Hayworth
is in on the joke with you.
The effect is to give The Loves
of Carmen a blithely comic flavor
which relieves the strain of so many
humans dying for love before the
picture ends with Miss Hayworth
and Glenn Ford lying dead outside
the bull fight arena.
X y X
Columbia has provided luxurious
setting for Carmen's amorous ad-
ventures. The real Andalusia, Sc
vile, Cordoba, ETC., may have a crag-
gy or shabby look, but not those in
the Warmers. new film feature.
Evening star., 1948-10-29

These are scenes f1t for q woman
OF so much fire, gypsy whose
flaming body carries its exciting
doom. No lesser backdrop would
match the recklessly romantic crea-
ture played by Miss Hayworth.
There is no doubt that "The Loves
of Carmen" is her picture. The
males in it, even Ford as Don Jose,
Garments man of destiny, are so
much fuel to provide her life with
its sustained ana soaring heat and
flashes of binding light. Although
she is the most gorgeously dressed
primitive in history, she still is a
primitive. Miss Hayworth plays her
straight.
This, to be sure, does not require
a great amount of acting. Carmen
at heart was singularly uncomplex
girl. All she asked of life was men,
one after another. Short of raN
suicide, which certainly never oc-
Cured to the Spaniards of that
period, she was bound to get them,
The process of getting was sim
pllcity itself. Miss Hayworth's Car
men was born with a seductive look
and her walk was a dance which no
male could fail to follow. Her smile
was pre-ordained to be irresistible
man-oait and even the way she spat
her favorite gesture of proud dis
daln-had its captivating aspects.
The men on whom Carmen looked
and great many she never both
cred to glance at, never had a
chance. 1t made no difference what
their social station might be, a ban
olt, a colonel, reigrling bull-fight-
er, or a rich, fashionable sap, they
were all the same to her.
The one who lasts longest in the
sereenscript, which was written
from the Merimee original by Helen
Deutsch, naturally is Don Jose
played by Ford. OF the large, motley
regiment recruited by Carmen. he
IS the least fitted to understand
her. In his gentlemanly code, wom-
en- simply are not promiscuous and
ne lives in perpetual state of
shock that Carmen apparently does
not feel the same way.
ANY number of incidents should
have corrected this impression on
ms part; his disgrace in the army,
MS murder Of his colonel, his un-
whiting adoption of banditry as a
| profession, or his murder of Cor-
mems gypsy bandit husband. Such
violent experiences must have given
more stupid man than Don Jose
pause to think, but from the mo-
ment OF taking the girl in his arms,
he lives beyond thinking.
As fates go. Don Jose's Is tough,
but exciting.
So is the picture which has been
built around it.

such as It is, deal with a retired
out unreconstructed major of the
late Confederacy, who has spent the
past % years working on a monu-
mental tome which will prove that
the Union won the War Between
the States through treachery and
that the North is only a geographical
fad, anyway. The major has finan-
cial troubles ("Back in Virginia
money was like sex; it was there
but we didn't talk about it") and
a couple Of his daughters have ro-
mantle troubles. And that, as the
great Bobby Clark used to say, is
all the plot you're going to get out
OF me.
This brave Confederate officer at
bay among the alien Hoosiers of
a small Indiana town is played by
Roland Culver with a great deal of
feeling for both the character and
the comedy in the role. The other
talent in evidence in Isn't
It Romantic?" is that of Pearl
Bailey, the fine, witty colored singer,
who enlivens the proceedings con-
siderably, If briefly, with the pair
of her numbers about the misfor-
tunes awaiting any woman who
meets a man. The other principal
players are Veronica Lake, Mona
Mary Hatcher and Patric
Knowles. 81
The Capitol's stage show is re-
peat, with a new set of vaudeville
acts, of the recently popular "Evalyn
Tyner's Party" 1t is a flashing, ex-
citing technique that Miss Tyner
displays and, with the aid of
quintet devoted principally to rhyth-
mic support, she dashes off some
fine piano pyrotechnics. The talented
people she introduces include Grace
Drysdale, the puppeteer; the Ames
Brothers and Barney Grant, but 1t
is Miss Tyner who remains the
principal reason for storming the
Capitol's box Office this week. Right
in the teeth of Billy De Wolfe.
