building, described as the fanciest
Communist Party headquarters in
Europe. The Communist Central

voluntarily obey the order.

house British reinforcements to

There was no explanation why,
among numerous possible choices,
this particular site was chosen.

Ford Foundation Sets
Main Goals for Use
OF $215 Million Fund
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, sept. Z7-1he
multi million dollar Ford Founda-
ton announced yesterday it has
five main goals-world peace,
stronger democracy, worldwide
economic improvement. better edu-
cation and more knowledge of hu-
man conduct.
Equipped with an estimated $215
million in grants and income from
the Ford auto family, the founda-
ton is just beginning to function
fully after IA years of existence. /
It's work has been delayed up to
now by the final settlement of in
heritance taxes on the Ford
estates.
Talked With Ford.
A rumor that Paul Hoffman, re-
firing head of the Economic Co
operation Administration. will be-
come director of the Ford Founda-
tion probably will go unverified for
at least another month.
Mr.. Hoffman said he had talked
with Henry Ford II about job
with the foundation but no de-
cision had been made.
Trustees Of the foundation said
yesterday they do not plan to meet
again until early in November and
there would be no announcement
on a new director until then.
The trustees said the fields in
which the foundation will work
were set after a study by eight
prominent educators and scien-
fists. They were invited to "block
out in general terms those critical
areas where problems were most
serious"
Thorough Study Made.
The trustees said the founda-
ton would leave such matters as
physical medicine and public
health to other organizations,
such as the Rockefeller Founda-
ton, which already have concen-
trated on these fields.
Henry Ford II. grandson Of the
founder of the trust and chair
man Of the trustees. said the study
made to set up the foundations
aims was "one Of the most thor
ough, painstaking and significant
inquiries ever made into the whole
broad question Of human welfare
and human needs"
He said the study involved in
terviewS of more than 1000 per-
sons and lover seven man years
went into it,"
Activities Supported.
Under the five major headings,
the foundation plans to support
more than a score of contributing
activities.
These. in brief, were as follows:
Peace-Lessing of world ten
sions; development of interna-
tional understanding; strengthen
ing of the United Nations. and ex-
panding American participation
in world affairs.
otTengInenlng democracy-End-
ing restrictions on thought and
expression: keeping democratic
control of political and economic
power; Strengthening political and
legal processes.
Economic improyement-Aiding
a growing economy, achieving eco
nomic equality. improving eco
nomic organization, better labor
management relations, better bal
ance between freedom and con-
troll. improved standards Of liv-
ing. improved economic under
standing.
Education-Support of talent
and leadership, clarification edu-
'cational goals, reduction of all
barriers. more effective use of
mass media, support of promising
new projects. improved conditions
for research and improving teach
er supply.
Human conduct-Advancement
Of scientific study of man, his
values, processes of learning, COM
munications. Embellishments and
methods of correction.

As a matter of fact. it is the
acting throughout that redeems
the picture from its basic flaws.
Corey never gave a better per-
formance than that as the hus-

singularly unaverage wife. Miss
Lindfors equally increases her
stature as an actress in an ex-

In the lesser characters, Director

the need for profoundly skilled

There is an inescapable soap
opera flavor in the plot of mo
Sad Songs for Me-" the title of
which comes from a paradoxically
fiippant poem by Christina
Rosetti.
1t deals with the experience of
Mary Scott who thinks she is
going to have another baby after
10 years but who discovers that
her illness is really cancer too far
developed for treatment. This
diagnosis leaves her shattered but
when she regains control of her
emotions. she decides to face her
doom alone.
Informed in her mind is the
notion of using the 10 months
left to her to plan the lives of her
husband and young daughter after
she is gone.
This noble program. based upon
her private agreement with death,
is no easy one to manage and in
wolves one of the most unreason-
able deals suffering human ever
made with circumstance. It i'm
poses upon Miss Sullivan the over
whelming dilemma of tearing her
self from the constant obsession of
death to the lives of the two she
loves best.
She must plan for death among
humans conscious only of being
alive. All her values must be reas-
sessed and reversed. She can give
nearly all her clothes to the COM
mun1ty's clothing drive. She need
not buy flower seeds which she
will never see bloom. She must
not break down when people wish
her 3 Happy New Year.
These. however, are the small
things with the small values.
The big problem is the one Gre
ated by her husband. He is a
civil engineer working on a great
public project. His principal as
sistant on this huge job is a
beautiful woman CMiss Linfors)
with whom his contact is much
more constant than that he has
with his wife. These two are at
tracted. unwittingly and without
being aware of it. There is gossip.
Miss SULLIVAN must not only dis
pose Of this, but of the acknowl-
edged affection finally between the
husband and the other woman.
| X X
Miss Sullavan's objective of dy-
ing in peace with her problems
solved is one to which q natural
sympathy should attach. That this
is not automatic is created by the
fact that the problems are much
of her own making, the result of
her concealment of her illness. It
takes a remarkable quality of act
ling to retrieve the character she
plays from this flaw in its writing,
and that she manages as well as

rear, ever Since Lne name was
given to the disease.
Recognizing the forbidding as
pect Of this subject, Columbia
Pictures has sought in two ways
to redeem it from any basic NOR
bidity. For one, it has cast the
script brilliantly with Margaret
Sullavan, Wendell Corey and
Viveca Lindfors in the principal
roles.
The second precaution works
out less effectively. This involves
shaping the story into one of
those noble destiny narratives
which are more frequently en-
countered in women's magazine
fiction than they are to be ex-
pected in life.
The admirable skill of the act
ing in mo Sad Songs for Me" is
that it diverts attention from the
sentimental distortions of the
script. In Miss Sullavan's wife,
the spectator finds himself con-
centrating more upon the broad
subject Of woman facing doom
than upon the details of her ex-
perience. 1t is in this managing
to be a heroine pitted against
the most relentless villain in
human experience that she rises
above the dramatic standard of
equivalent characters in most
movies.
From the standpoint of its diff
hculty alone, Miss Sullavan's por-
trait Of Mary Scott is one of the
