Ladejinsky Hired By FOA for Job In Viet Nam

WAOT11NG 1OIN, R1-Ihe For eign Operations Administration FOA announced today it has hired Wolf Ladejinsky, fired as security risk from his post as agricultural attache in the Tokyo embassy, to do a land reform job in Viet Nam.
 Foreign Aid Administrator liar old Stassen said in the announce ment that FOA has reviewed Lad ejinsky's file and found him "eli- gible for certification for security and loyalty
 He commented that lin this very difficult matter of evaluat- ing personnel from a security standpoint, individuals sometimes reach different conclusions, even as judges of any court sometimes have dissenting opinions"
 The shift to FOA, which had been predicted, was at least a partial solution for a problem that had ranged the Agriculture Dept. and the State Dept in opposition to each other.
 Ladejinsky had security clear ance from the State Dept but his post was shifted to Agriculture Dept. control by an act of the last Congress and Secretary of Agri- culture Benson, on advice of his security officer, ruled against re- tention of Ladejinsky in the att tache position.
 In the FOA job, Ladejinsky's pay will be $11,8OO a year, the same amount he has been getting from Agriculture Dept funds.
 Also figuring in the controversy was letter, made public at the Agriculture Department, which some Jewish leaders viewed as having anti-Semitic implications.
 The author, George IN. Witt of New York, denied any such inten- tions. Witt, a Russian emigre, is industrial editor of American Ex- porter Publications in New York.
 Secretary Benson said Monday it was a mistake" for the letter to have been released and de- clared he was shocked that anti Semitic implications have been raised"
 Vitt's letter was shown to news men by Benson's executive assis- tant Tn it, Witt praised Benson's refusal to allow Ladejinsky to continue as agricultural attache and said a "goodly share" of Rus sian revolutionaries who came to this country were found among the Russian Jews"
 Joseph F. Barr, national com mander of the Jewish War Veter- ans, said at the White House he is not satisfied with Benson's posi- tion regarding the Agriculture De- partment's handling of the letter.
 In statement, Ladejinsky said he regrets having to end his work in Japan but believes his new as signment twill offer opportunities for constructive accomplishment" !"
 As to Benson, Ladejinsky said he would pass no judgment. II will leave that to. his fellow men" he said.

tested to make the Countess q
sympathetic figure. Fry, an ex-
acting moralist as well as a
lyrical one, demands of her the
last ounce of proof that Gettner
is, as she says, more hurt by the
world than hurtful to it.
In today's scale of values. it
is an almost impossible demand,
but Miss Cornell rises to it SUI
perbly. Her Countess is not a
profound woman, but she is one
of unshakeable faith, dexterity
in argument with her intellec-
tual superiors, and sensitiyity
that is disconcerting to the ra-
tional ones around her. She is,
in brief, the woman in whom Fry
can believe and toward whose
civilized instincts he would have
others lay aside their skepticism.
Good and evil have rarely
fought it out with such unre-
lieyed eloquence than in 'The
Dark Is Light Enough" and Mr..
Fry has created a worthy foeman
for his heroine in the character
played by Mr.. Power.
The latter is ifnpressively at
ease not merely in the melodic
dialogue of the play but in the
sharp and all but final rejec-
ton of every element in the code
of decency. 1t is an altogether
admirable performance in both
the mental and physical energy
with which it is embued, the
latter especially in a generally
static play.
Guthrie McClintic, who has
directed the play with a logical
Difference to its verbal vibrance,
has chosen wisely for the others
Of Fry'S characters. Marian
Winters manages considerable
of substance within the authors
vague outline of the daughter
role; John Williams is a crisply
skeptical friend; Charles Mac
aulay is effective as the good"
son-in-law. and Paul Roebling
is the same as the callow son
of the Countess.
Another excellent performance
is that If Arnold Moss as the
county Hungarian colonel.
Oliver MeSse has designed a
Stunning drawing room and an
impressively durable stable to
shelter the Ostenburgs in their
hour of greatest moral triumph
and material defeat.
1t provides a frame completely
worthy OF Fry's most difficult
and uncompromising play from
the standpoint of performers
and audience.

confirmed by a capacity audi-'
ence. Yet it is less of an occa-
sion to be electrified than quietly
to observe two of the dramas
more renowned talents coming
to grips with truths deeper and
more subtle than those to which
theatergoers have been condi-
toned,
In 1.-THE Dark Is Light
Enough" Mr.. Fry has not writ
ten an. obscure play. On the
contrary, he has achieved a lyri-
cally eloquent one, full of
warmth and of wisdom tinged
with melancholy. He has put
into 1t as much as the spectator
can take out of it, Bistful obser-
yations on the cruelty of war,
a testament of faith in the
power Of good, the triumphant
energy that lies in unselfish love,
the value of an apparently
worthless life, etc.
This, in his own words, is q
"winter comedy" 1t lacks the
dazzling wit and the wry and
impudent humor of its gayer
predecessors, but it is warmed
at its center by the figure of the
radiant woman played by Miss
Cornell with more than enough
light to show Fry in another
mood.
BY conventional standards, it
plays at a distance from which,
1t could well have been in the
authors mind, the theatergoer
is offered greater clarity. What
ever compromise this demands
clearly will have to be made
by the latter.
An incident of the Hungarian
revolt against Austria in the
winter of 1848-49 provides the
situation of "The Dark Is Light
Enough"
On its surface level, the play
revolves around the Countess
Rosmarin Ostenburg, a frail,
radiant widow whose great coun-
try house is the quintessence of
hospitality.
No human spirit is too MANNED
to find succor here, not even
that of the Countess former
son-in-law, the despicable, in
grown Richard Gettner. But
Richard arrives as a deserter
from the Hungarian forces,
bringing with him the doom of
the house of Ostenberg in the
form of the pursuing rebel
troops from beyond the Austrian
border. Richard. played with
merciless lucidity by Tyrone
Power. is amoral. coward, an
migrate and clearly deserving of
the quickest despatch the Hun
garians have in stock for de-
serters.
1t is his good fortune, how
ever, and the theme of Fry's
play, that in the Countess code
of values not even such a life as
Gettner's has forfeited the effort
of redemption. The price of the
effort to the Countess is to have
her daughter sullied once more
by her former husband, her son
critically wounded in a duel with
the latter, and finally her own
life. She has no choice but to
pay in full and she makes the
choice a happy one.
