has some other moments, too,

for this singer being interrupted

At least it has become one

Martin. in the teams latest
endeavor, impersonates, without
undue strain on any dramatic
ability he may have, a singer.
He wants to do a single" and
be q comedian, too. but he is
not fitted for the role. His agent
makes him hire a stooge to
gheckle from box and the act
IS a great success. Lewis, Of
course. plays this latter role
without a bit Of trouble.

Finkelhoffe and Rackin have
not bothered to clutter up their
basic situation with a lot Of plot,
but have left it bare frame
work for slapstick. Martins
singer thinks he's q great solo
act and gives his stooge no
credit. Almost loses his wife and
friends, then one night he dis
covers he can't get laughs alone.
Apologies to the audience and
every one presumably lives
happily ever after.
There is nothing very original
here, nothing to tax q Martin
Lewis fan. This Is not said by
way Of complaint. There is, in
fact, no point in complaining
about any aspect Of a Martin

consider 100 minutes of unmiti-

There is just one small thing
about "The Stooge'' which puz-

give manpower figures but said
the reduction would be orderly
over q period Of years" There
have been reports that the De-
tense Department planned to cut
military manpower from the
present approximately 3.5 mill

"Today'S emphasis is actually
pointed toward the creation. the

But he said that "for an in

be complemented with other

Admiral Radford also said
that atomic weapons had yirtu-

within the armed forces and that
each service is capable of put

use.
THE dstruction power. pres

he said. These facts simply
make it all the more important
that we deter aggression and
war before they happen.
THE Joint Chiefs of Staff do
not believe that any funda-

fast that one service should be
cut in half and another tripled

IN tactics and strategy do not
come that fast.

he said, adding that we "are i'm
proving greatly our combat ef-

niques."
The admiral was certain that
this Nation will maintain a
national air power superior to
that of any other nation in the

This supremacy in national
air power, when coupled with
that of our allies and with our
collective strength in other

The driver failed to see the young
