told: watch France

France, is the crucial spot for
world labor to watch today, Max
Steinberg, secretary of TIL e
American Jewish Labor Coun-
Gil, told a group of top Chicago
labor men this week.
Steinberg, just back from a
fOur-mOnth tour of Europe and
Israel, said that if American in
terests combine with French in
dustrialists to attempt coup
placing General Charles De-
Gaulle at the head of a fascist
state, there will be civil war.
However, while the DeGaulle
danger" is great, he added, the
right-wing leader is not as i'm
portant in France as the Amer
lean press tries to make him
seem.
French Resent Marshall Plan
The Jewish Labor Council Of
fetal asserted that French work
ingmen are deeply resentful of
the manner in which the Mar
shall Plan is being carried out
in their country.
For example, in one city on
Bastille Day, the French July
4th, he watched columns of
French-made tractors, trucks
and automobiles roll down the
main street. Each vehicle was
covered with sign, saying This
was made in France, by French
workers. Why should we be
forced to buy machines from an
other country, when it means
loss Of jobs for French work
ingmen?"
Steinberg found two factors
playing an important part in
deciding the position taken by
French workers on world and
domestic policies: y the fact
they all lived through the war
under a fascist regime, many Of
them fighting in the under
ground or existing in concen-

opposition began to mount
against the bills which would
require reports on activities and
membership lists from organiza-
tons listed by the commission
as 'subversive."
In addition, the proposals
would give public officials pow
ell to discipline" or fire teach
ers and employees, regardless of
tenure, if they are blacklisted
by the commission.
Headed by Sen. Paul Broyles
(R., Mt. Vernon), the group is
made up of five members each
from the State Senate and House
of Representatives, and five
members representing the pub
lie" One member, Rep. Ed Eel
lis, was relieved of his office
by his Hillsboro constituents in
the November elections. Indeed,
the commission itself is lame
duck" pending passage of an
appropriation for it by the in
coming legislature.

American Civil Liberties Union

such as Leonard Bernstein, so

Laderman declared: "RyersOn
is not only an economic royalist.
He is an artistic rOyalist as well.
To bring Furtwaengler here is
not only to whitewash his Nazi
past, but it is to put him ON n
pedestal and to reward him."
Laderman reported that sew
eral years ago he proposed to
Ryerson that empty seats in
Orchestra Halls afternoon con-
certs be filled by giving blocks
of tickets to Chicago's factory
workers, thus introducing new
audiences to the symphony. The
idea fell on deaf ears, he said.

Supreme Court reuffirnns
free thought in Wixmon cose

WASHINGTON-One bright
spot last week shone through
the thick fog of witch-hunt hys
terra that currently envelopes
the Capitol. The U. S. Supreme
Court reaffirmed the right of
freedom of thought when it ruled
that an alien cannot be denied
citizenship simply because he
believes in "collectivism."
Samuel Morris Wixman, for
mer Los Angeles City College
professor had been refused ma
turalization because he believed
and taught collectivist principles

supporters of the symphony who
might feel differently about the
appointment were consulted, and
he replied: "They were con-
suited"
Says Protests Won't Avail.
When the tycoon of steel and
culture was informed that nu-
merous organizations were gath

waengler in preparation for
popular protest against the ap-
pointment, Ryerson's Harvard
like composure showed its first
ruffle as he offered: 81 think it
would be very unfortunate and
dangerous for organizations-oh,
never mind. 1t doesn't matter"
The fact that Furtwaeng1er
was "de-Nazified" by the same

Meanwhile more eruptions of
protest broke through the en-
forced calm in the city created
by the daily press whitewash
campaign.
Individuals close to the SYM
phony questioned Ryerson's Gag
erness to hire a notorious Nazi
instead Of bringing to Chicago
a capable American conductor.
This feeling was typified by
the statement of Samuel Lader-
man, who recently resigned as
a sustaining member of the or

William HI. Miller, state di-
rector of the Progressive Party,
asserted that there is absolute
ly no necessity for any Of the
four proposed bills which the
Broyles Commission is now
drafting. Existing legislation ad-
equately protects our community
against any attempts to over
throw it by force and violence"
Miller concluded:

mission members that it has no
authority for such an investiga-
ton. Letters to members warned:
"YOur authority is specific
and limited. We urge that
you check the possibility of per-
sonal liability for the expendi-
ture of public funds for unau-
thorized purposes"
Dora Pollock, organization
secretary of the civil liberties
union, informed The Standard
that her group is entirely OPP

istence of the commission. We

said that the truce" enforced

to weaken the new Jewish state.

added.

BY BOB BENNETT

THE major theme of my
Girl lisa" seems to be that
there is no gold buried in the
streets in America. The minor
theme, or counterpart, is that
Teddy Roosevelt-just like Tru-
man was saying the other day
was one hell of guy.
Both of these points are, to put
the case mildly, open to debate.
And in any event, not the kind of
artistic material that / can get
excited about-that side of the
street was pretty well worked by
guys like Horatio Alger. No one
believes it any more except guys
who own Cadillac convertibles and
have at least one swimming pool.
MY Girl lisa" has one-or
maybe two redeeming features,
however, that might make it worth
your while.
The cast includes people like
Stella Adler, Sam Wanamaker and
Lii Palmer, some of my favorite
people, and all really competent
actors.
For the other, although the story
has been criminally mishandled,
there are several good scenes and
the nugget of a good idea for an
honest film.
lisa is played by Lii Palmer,
an immigrant, who works hard to
get together enough money to
bring her father and sisters over
from Europe. 1t being 1905, she
works, of course, as a seamStress
in a tie factory ON the lower
East Side. She meets and falls
for Sam Wanamaker, spokesman
for the Common Man and wor-
shipper of Teddy, the Rough Rider.
lisa is tricked by an oily
steamer ticket agent into signing
a labor contract that would sock
her old man away in the wilds of

development of atomic research.
In his now famous letter to Frank
lin D. Roosevelt informing the
President of atomic energy re-
search, Professor Albert Einstein
particularly cited the work of
Irene and Frederick Joliot- Curie.
Through the work of these two
leading French scientists who dis
covered artificial redioactivity and
uranium fission, France played its
part in the ultimate practical APP
pication of this revolutionary dis
covery, and now takes increased
interest in its scientific, humane
application and peacetime posi-
bilites.
The National Reception Com
mittee for Nine. Joliot-Curie is
headed by Professor Albert Elm
stein and DIR. Harlow Shapley.

out and everybody lives happily
ever after.
As I say, there's material here
for real film. /, for one, would
like to see an honest film about
1905 without corny music and gals
in hoopskirts. I'd like to see the
sweatshops that immigrants work
ed in; how they lived; what they
thought; what they hoped and
dreamed and what happened to
those dreams.
This, you may be sure, is not
1t. But it may be worth seeing
if you like la Palmer, Wanamaker
or Adler.
DR.. KILDARE can now move
over. My favorite movie doctor is
now James Mason = the famous
brain surgeon. The only trouble
is that our boy James has a little
brain trouble himself and in "The
Upturned Glass" it gets him in a
mess of trouble.
AS mystery stories 60. this one
is better than the run-of- the-mine
American films-it is an English
product-and has novel plot
twist-well, fairly novel anyway,
that might keep you interested.
Aside from that there's very
little to recommend it.

THERE'S even less to recon-
mend a nonstop bore called MY
Wild Irish Rose" This is calcu-
lated to drive anyone wild-yes,
even an Irish rose and even on
st. Patrick's Day.
1t purports to be the story of
Chauncey Olcott, who, l under
stand, was famous gent.
There's nothing more irritating
than a pseudo-folk song and this
thing is damned full of insults to
the intelligence of the Irish people,
including such sloppy sentimental
clap-trap as my Wild Irish Rose, .
ETC., that make going into a saloon
with juke box for a drink such
a dangerous business these days.
