racial BACKGROUND. vet it develops

racial background, yet it develops
that DR.. Carter is too white to be
accepted in a Southern Negro
hospital and too honestly a Negro
to be admitted to interneship in
Northern white medical center.
Caught between these preju-
dices, he ultimately decides to live
the deception of being white in
the town of Keenham. N. H.,
where he inherits the practice of
a wealthy, widely loved general
practitioner.
It is a deception full Of dra-
matte twists but the Carriers are
up to mastering it even while re-
pudiating its moral merit. BY the
time their children are grown,
they have established themselves
firmly and unself -consciously In
the town Of Keenham, a commu-
nifty as dangerously open to preju-
dice as any could be.
The senior Carriers themselves
have forgotten the point Of de-
parture in their lives after all
these years, but it remains there
marked for an alert eye. This is
provided when DR.. Carter accepts
a Naval Medical Corps commits
sion. is stripped of 1t three days
later for concealing his Negro
antecedents, and then is forced to
tell his tragic secret to the adele
scent children from whom he has
concealed it.
The Carriers story Is full Of dra-
matically explosive material, the
force of which is heightened by
the subdued treatment which 1t
is given in the screenplay.
It develops a skein Of suspense
equalled by few such softly modu-
lated melodramas. This it draws
from passage after passage which
x-rays the meaning Of prejudice
as it lives and grows among both
white and colored groups.
The film is packed with revela-
tons of this hostility and reveals
them in even the most f1eeting
Of sequences: in the colored hos
pital where DIR. Carriers white
skin is anathefna: in the home Of
Mrs. Carter whose father hates
his Negro past; in the stormy
outburst Of DR.. Carter's high
Sabotage daughter in the family
living room, and In Keenham's
shock when the ultimate revela-
ton comes. -
, It is a more hopeful than a
happy ending which is written to
Lost Boundaries" but it Is the
one which De Rochemont found
most acceptable and which his
picture justifles more logically
than any other.

It tells the story of light
skinned Negro couple which
passed the line between white and
colored citizens and, like it's prede-
cessors, it is an absorbing. touch
ing and rather more searching
scrutiny of a dramatic human ex-
perience.
However, for all its grip upon
the attention and the conscience,
'Lost Boundaries" has its few
shortcomings. 1t frequently has
that too-tailored look of such dra-
matte writing. 1t suffers also at
times from the self consciousness
of acting that is too intently aimed
at finding moral depth which
might well have been left to the
audiences alernlesS.
These nevertheless are small
points to raise against the honesty
and force with which Louis de
Rochemont has translated w. L.

Russia Charges IR0
Deals in Slave Labor
BY the Asseeioted Press

LONDON, Mar. 31.-Russia to-
day accused the international
Refugee Organization of dealing
in cheap slave labor" for the
benefit of certain Western coun-
tries.
In the course of a four-power
discussion on an Austrian inde-
pendence treaty, Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Georgi N. Zaru-
bin asserted the IRO was not do
ing it's job of repatriating persons
displaced by the war.
It has been transformed. he
said, into a body which is provid-
ing cheap labor for certain West
ern countries.
The Soviet accusation was made
during discussion by four deputy
foreign ministers on whether a
special provision should be written
into the treaty obligating Austria
to help the voluntary repatriation
of displaced persons and refugees.
The United States and Britain
opposed writing into the treaty
any clause which would bind Aus
tria to support the repatriation
of the estimated 100000 DPS and
refugees.
