Food Store
For Sea Life
Found in Mud

Tidal mud flats. often re-
claim for building purposes or
used as dumping sites. are prov
ing to be among Americas most
valuable marine nursery grounds.
Such prolific mud fats lie in
quite estuaries and bays around
the world where nutrient-rich
rivers and streams blend with
the sea.
Northumberland fisheries
are dependent upon the survival
of tidal inlets. Commercial
oyster and food CLANS cannot
live elsewhere. Menhade n,
shrimp. striped bass, salmon,
shad, muliet, and the important
Oriental food item, milk fish, all
must go into brackish waters to
carry out their life cycles, the
National Geographic Society
says.
Biologists know little Of bay
mechanics. But they have
learned that filamentous green
and blue-green algae, which
thrive on marine fats around
freshwater outlets, are back of
the mysterious principle that
guides fish migrations into
brackish water. Fish do not feed
but on decaying algae.
Fertilizer Starts Chain
Relatively high concentration
of fertilizers washed from the
land initiate the food chain that
links intertidal plants such as
algae with sea creatures-andI
finally with man.
The menhaden typifies this
process. Hatched on the rolling
waves, the young fish instinc-
lively move toward shore, nus-
zling the coast for entrances to|
brackish lagoons. They reach
them or perish.
Safe beyond the ocean swells,
countless numbers feed on small
organisms, grow to adulthood
and become useful to man.
New England Indians fertilized
corn with menhaden. Today the
bony and oily fish are ground
into meal for animal feed. The
oil Is used in such diverse prod
uct as whipping cream and oleo-
margarine in some parts Of the
world. The menhaden provide
the largest fish catch in the
Western Hemisphere.
Growth Of Gulf Shrimp
The problem Of protecting mud
flats extends to the Deep South.
In the Gulf Of. Mexico, shrimp
with a total catch value Of over
$50 million year spawn in 20
to 80 fathoms. Young shrimp
drift landward through passage
ways into bays and bayous.
There, for six weeks, the crusta-I
ceans gorge on organic matter,
growing to adulthood. Then
they return to the open sea toI
complete their life cycle and per-
hapS to be swept up by the
shrimpers' nets.

Meet Barbara Bel Geddes.
Broadway's cat on a hot tin
roof.
AS the star of the play which
last week won the Pulitzer
prize, and earlier the Drama
Critics award, Barbara is the
theater's girl Of the year.
A stranger contrast you
couldn't find than that be-
tween exuberant offstage Barb
and bewildered on stage Mag
gle the cat of Tennessee VIII
liams' morbid melodrama.
The contrast makes pink
cheek d, f1axen-topped Miss
Bel Geddes more than slightly
content.
People usually think of me
as a kind, noble little crea-
ture," she reports rebelliously,
land how I look so we'll

Such public appraisal is
amply scotched by her per-
formance in Cat on a Hot Tin
Roof" which somberly dissects
a decaying Southern family
for overflow audiences nightly
at the Morosco Theater.
Stated another way, the por-
trayal is further proof Of the
Bel Geddes thespic skill and
dramatic versatility.
For in the 10 years since
she won Broadway stardom in

from heiresSes to comedy in

The assortment was sought
deliberately by the 32-year-
old star to test her mettle and
develop her range.
"One of these days I want
to ride an elephant and be a

One of the most arresting
demonstrations of her variety
was when she left the big hit

midst of sellout success in
order to have a seasons gamM
in stock. She got it too;
everything from '..Uncle Toms

savage satire on Marxist lib
Grafton.
1t is extremely difficult to
rationalize the impact of a
screen portrayal with which
Identification is inescapable.
Warner Bros, particularly,
among film studios discovered
this some years ago when they
made several pictures which
presented newspapermen as
less than models of absolute
rectitude. The company caught
the full, wrath of the critical
press right in it's surprised
face. the more surprised for
the assumption that press peo-
pie were q reasonably logical
lot who would not misunder-
stand.
Returning to "The Black
board Jungle" it is undoubt-
edly a sensational treatment of
the delinquency case. It
seemed to be so even in the
original novel, the accent Of
which is extravagantly fnten-
sif1ed in the film version.
Studios Position
Nevertheless, there is some
merit in the position of MGM
that it states a case that is
no more than a synthesis of
newspaper headlines. In other
words, the incidents which
form the shocking screenplay
are not flctions no matter how
spectacularly they are excep-
tions to the rule of adolescent
conduct in this country.
Whatever the end of the
controversy may be-a draw
no doubt. as such things usu-
ally are-Hollywood will have
learned once more that when
it undertakes to be lifelike, 1t
becomes so much larger than
life. A bit of knowledge that
will in no way discourage
still larger movie processes and
still more vehement sound
tracks.

It is an odd thing about the
movies that the best ones
sometimes land their makers
In the deepest, hottest water.
Take such a film as 1.-THE
Blackboard Jungle" which is
not only the most controversial
picture Of the year but also the
most popular" at the box
Office. In fact, its popularity at
the box Office is MGM's great
est consolation for its unpop-
ularity with those who con-
denim it as a sensational over
statement of the case against
adolescent delinquency.
One thing, however, that is
not controversial about "The
Blackboard Jungle" is that it
underscores one of the most
implacable of the ironieS with
which Hollywood must live.
Bigness Is So Big
This is the irony implicit in
the fact that whatever the
screen says, in words and pic
lures, it says it larger and
louder than any other medium
of communication.
If. for example, it finds oc-
casion to say that a certain
vocational training school has
q homicidally unruly gang Of
students, it is instantly ac-
cused of saying that this is
universally true of such schools
and such students. The partic-
ular becomes the general in
spite of the good intentions Of
everybody to be rational. It is
in the nature Of the screen,
except when it is completely
innocuous and unreal, that this
should be.
And, with screens getting
larger and sound tracks more
delicately modulated, the
chances are that the situation
will become worse.
The situation Is one with
which the movie-makers have
lived a long time, if never with
comfort. Occasionally, they
are rewarded with an anus
ing illustration Of the fact
that no one can anticipate the
strange effect a movie may
have.
Telltale Milk Bottles
One such anecdote has to do
with a Hollywood picture that
was deemed so innocuous by
an Iron Curtain country that
it could be admitted and
shown to it's moviegoers. These
countries are pretty sharp
eyed in matters of this kind,
but they were wrong here.
The picture had a sensa-
tional revelation to make to the
people of that undernourished
area, namely that in this land
of plenty bottled milk could be
deposited on any doorstep with
no fear that 1t would be stolen
by a starving passerby. The
marvel Of this among movie
goers resulted in the instant
withdrawal Of film in which a
detail so small as to pass un-
noticed in this country became
its most dramatic in the other.
The reaction to all films, Of
course, depends upon whose
self-esteem is being gored.
There is another film on
display locally which in its
way is just as emphatic as
1.-THE Blackboard Jungle"

The Alarming Alternatives for Israel

ism derives, first, from the
growing recognition that the
Foreign Office and the State
Department are as untrust-
worthy and effectively as hos
tile to Israel'S survival in 1855
as they were six years ago.
Here we come to the second
(and usually unspoken prem
iSe) of the ActiViSt case. To-
day, Israel is C pable of
mounting an offensive which
will carry her armies either
across Syria to Damascus or
across the Judaean hills to the
Jordan, or across the desert to
the Suez Canal. Moreover, in
the present state of Arab dis
unity and corruption, any one
of these campaigns could be
completed without fear of a
m ajor counterattack else
where unless Britain or Amer
lea interviewed.
What makes this controver-
Sy so bitter is that each side
is right in pointing out the
futility of the policy advocat-
ed by it's opponents. Britain
and America are compelling
Isra el to choose between a
suicidal attempt to break the
moose and an acceptance of
death by slow strangulation.
That is why the political crisis
in Israel cannot be resolved.
Forced to choose between two
hopeless policies, the Israeli
Government VeerS to and fro,
between Activism and Cock
S ence, and occasionally
reaches a compromise, such
as the recent military opera
tions in the GAIA Strip-a '1it-
tie break OUT. I do not blame
the Arab Governments for
maintaining the state of war,
and using UNWRA and mill
tary assistance for their own
purposes, as long as they can
get away with it. What sick
ems me is that Britain should
connive at the slow murder of

wish her well.
Personally, I sympathize
with those IsraeliS who stick

has been careful not to COM
nit himself.
In terms of logic, Mr.. Sha-
rett has the best of the argu-
ment. Retaliation a d S, he
says, may improve the morale
of the inexperienced immi-
grants from the baZaarS of
Baghdad and the Co-lce1tra-
ton camps who are trying to
farm in the new villages. But
there is no evidence that they
h ave pacified the frontiers,
and they upset the American
Jews on whose dollars Israels
economy depends.
Mr.. Sharett believes that
the future of Israel depends
on two -things-integratiOn
into the Arab world, and sup
port from the u. S. However
impossible the Arab behavior,
and however dangerous the
new American policy of liking
Iraq and Turkey and rearm-
ing both, Israel, in his view,
has no choice but to pursue
the path of collaboration with
the West and restraint i'm the
face of Arab prOvOcatiOn. If
she relies on her own strong
arm, she will repeat the trag-
edy of the MaccabeanS.
Moreover, Mr.. Sharett can
point out that, so far, self-re-
straint has paid dividends.
The internal social and eco
nomic problems, which look
ed so overwhelmingly a few
years ago, are being checked
and the Inevitable conces-
sions to free enterprise have
been courageously accepted.
The problem of resettle-
ment of a re a S deserted by
Arabs is being tackled sober
ly, and so is the integration
of new immigrants. This in
ternal stability is a remark
able achievement. I C annot
think of another instance in

small, newly constituted state
has doubled its population in
its first five years with immi-
grants, often of dubious quail
ity, while retaining the form
and spirit of Western democ-
racy.
Nevertheless, MIR. Sharett,
though he has all the argu-
ments of prudence on his side,
is fighting a losing battle
against the rising tide of Ac-
tivism. Israel came into exist
ence by a fantastic act of
faith. In defiance of Ernest
Bevin, and disregarding the
warnings of Wiezmann and
T um a n, Ben-GuriOn pro-
claimed the state on the day
that the five Arab armies in
vaded it-and the gamble paid
off. So, too, during the war,
it was by a series of adventur-
GUS campaigns, often in def
ance of the Armistice Offic-
ials, that 1900 square miles
were a d d e d to the $500 al
lOtted to Israel by the UN par
