"Manon Lescaut," who may be re-
membered as a girl who recklessly
invested her charm in all the
luxury it could buy. This added
up to lot of luxury before Manon
learned, in this version, that bad
girls sometimes pay for their ex-
cesses by dying with their eyes
wide open on the African desert.
If there is a moral lesson in
the film at the Dupont. however.
it is lost in its own eXcesses which
leave the hero and heroine look
ing like a couple of amorous alb
surdities who got no more than
is coming to them.
The fiery center of all this pas
sionate travail is Cecile Aubrey
q small, pudgy blond who may be
recalled as the female who caused
Tyrone Power all that trouble in
THE Black Rose" Mile. Aubrey
is even more ruthless in her effect
upon Michael Auclair in "Manon," :"
but there are some who will ques-
ton his taste in counting the
world we'll lost for such a girl.
X X X X
AS photographed, there never is
q dull moment in the romantic
lives of Manon and Robert. They
met one day in a Maquis mop-up
of Nazis in Normandy town.
Thereafter. until Manon's dying
day as a refugee on the Palestine
coast, life is a succession of be-
trayals, remorseless reunions and
mounting madness.
The wonder is that the cameras
stood up under it. Frankly, Gre
dulity does not.
x X X
Every ounce of flesh in ''Manon"
is beset by devils until there is
virtually nothing left than can
provide dramatic contrast. It's
principal setting is the Paris I'M
derworld after the liberation. This
was tempting place and no girl
ever succumbed to temptation with
more enthusiasm than Manon.
At her Roberts stuffy rnsistence,
she marries him but her heart is
dead set against any notion of a
coZy bliss. She wants all the gaudy
luxuries and in his demented de-
votion to her. the young husband

PARIS, Nov. 23-R-The Soviet Union filed formal complaint with the United Nations today, charging that the United States is financing armed groups on her territory aimed at the overthrow of Prime Minister Stalin's government.

 In an explanatory note today,
 Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
 vishinsky said U. S. financing
 through the mutual security act
 "of subversive organizations and
 diversionist groups consti- tutes an act of aggression towards
 the Soviet Union and the states of the peoples demOcracies."
 The note to the LIN. followed a similar Russian communication to the US. government on Tuesday The US. State Department dismis- sed the protest as "groundless prop aganda" and said it came with singular ill-grace" from regime which has consistently supported "subversive activity against the U s. and other nations of the free world"
 The latest Russian blast against the west came as the assembly marked time on it's peace programs, with some hope-slim, but existing that Vishinsky in scheduled ap- pearance before the U. N. Political committee tomorrow would answer the vests disarmament proposals with speech spelling real peace.
 British Minister of State Selwyn Lloyd told the committee yester- day that the Assembly already has showed signs of a lessening in the East-West tension.

 T had to do something to keep busy. I kept small fire going and cooked oatmeal constantly. It was terribly wild country but l never saw an animal or heard 8 sound other than the crack of the fire. Snow fell most of the time and it was awfully cold"
 After IA days she heard plane, which was from the Tenth Rescue Squadron. She was vague about that. Later she heard another plane and suddenly I saw tiny plane right over my head
 Tt dropped note and I remem- Der that it told me to build a big fire so they could find me after they landed on lake three miles away.
 T was trying to make my fire bigger when I looked up and saw Bob. He led me three miles back to the plane I don't remember being tired of the walk but after I got to the plane got sick and col- lapsed."
 Rouse had followed the Stony River until it hit the Kuskokwim River He found small settlement inhabited by two Eskimos. One of them operated a radio-equipped weather station. The radio sum- moned aid.
