NEW YORK.
The team of William 1nge,
playwright, and Kim Stanley,
actress, proved to be a prize
winning combination wit h
Picnic" a couple of seasons
ago. This week, they repeated
their original triumph with
Bus Stop" which opened at
the Music Box, but in this
instance they have added a
third high-scoring member to
the backfield-Albert Salmi.
1t is no headline that Mr..
Inge can write the kind of
Midwestern comedy and pathos
that suits the extraordinary
talents Of Miss Stanley, but
now he has found a young man
who can take charge, stand
up to her nasal twang, syllable
for syllable, and provide us
with an endearing love story.
This Is indeed a delightful
amalgamation.
They Are Trapped
For his setting Mr.. Inge
might be accused of taking
several pages from THE Pet
rif1ed Forest" or any similar
effort in which divergent
group of people find them
selves suddenly thrown to-
gether. In Bus Stop" it is
a beanery in a small town 80
miles west Of Kansas City;
the road ahead is showed in,
the phones are down, and
there's nothing for the bus
driver and his customers to do
but sweat 1t out until morn
ing.
In this case the characters
are, principally, a singer from
a Kansas City clip joint and
the tough talking. soft-hearted
cowboy who is hijacking her
back to his ranch IN Okla

bus stop provides the time lag
to give her the protection of
an understanding sheriff, to
bring the rancher to his senses.

Subordinate moments of
hilarity and heartthrobs are
provided by the mistress of
the cafe where they're all ma
rooned. She consummates a
love affair with the bus driver
for which the schedule has
never before allowed ample
time. Then there is the drunk
en- college professor, harbor-
ing an ignoble secret, who
finds a brief moment of gram

he runs for a second term.
The Presidents precedent
setting conference here over the
week end with the Republican
chairmen Of 48 States. the Dis

left technically unanswered the
question of whether he will run
again next year.
| But in the minds Of many of
those who attended the matter
was a simple one which some Of
them stated in these terms:
II the President feels next
spring that he can take on four
more years in the White House
without danger of physical In
capication. he win be a candi-

One close associate said Mr..
Eisenhower is determined not to
repeat the role Of Franklin D.
Roosevelt in his fourth term.
MIR. Eisenhower was described as
believing that Mr.. Roosevelt
knew he was a sick man when
he ran in 1914.
Odds Heavy He'll Run
Republicans who talked with
Mr.. Eisenhower. checked his
outward physical fitness and
reported his "bubbling enthu-
siasm" about Republican Party
prospects next year, said they
think the odds are heavy that
the President will run again.
George Kinnear. Washington
State chairman, put it succinctly
when he said in an interview
he believes MIR. Eisenhower wants
to determine for himself several
months from now whether his
physical stamina Is such that he
can Withstand another four years

he has been subjected.

These @. o. P. members argue
that as long as he maintains

generally as essentially nonparti-

is "too complicated" to general
ize on the number of years stu
dents should attend college.
The general feeling in higher
education, he said, Is that the
aptitude Of the individual and
the type Of course he is taking
should be the guiding factor.
Mr.. Howe said some students
should have only one or two
years Of college and others five
or six. Otherwise. he said. the
limited classroom space will be
far overcrowded and 1t will mean
a great waste of teachers time.
Mr.. Howe said there is also

DENVER, Sept. 12.-President
Eisenhower thinks young Amer.
leans now may need to go tc
school longer than he did in or
der to learn to cope with the
complexities Of modern life.
His suggestion-that modern
youth should be offered more
years of free schooling-was
made during an inspection tour
Of the new Air Forces Academy
temporary quarters on Lowry Air
Force Base here yesterday.
The President even wondered
aloud to 1t. Gen. Hubert r. Har-
mon. superintendent Of the
academy. If the new service
school should not start from
scratch with q fiye-year course
instead of the usual four years
of college work.
After looking over the academy
classrooms, inspecting scale
models 0f its permanent build
ings to be erected at a site near
Colorado Springs, and reviewing
a smart parade Of the 297 first
year cadets. Mr.. Eisenhower at
tended Protestant services In the
academy chapel.
Work Schedule Light
Going into the NTH week of
his Colorado vacation today, he
still was taking it easy with q
light work schedule leaving him
plenty of time for golf.
The President and Gen. Har-
mon. classmates at West Point,
reminisced about their days
there more than 40 years ago
as they strolled the Air Force
Academy classrooms.
Gen. Harmon told him the
curriculum here did not offer
as much advanced mathematics
as they had to study at West
Point. partly because time had
TO be found for more humanistic
studies.
That reminded Mr.. Eisenhower
of something he said bothered

him q lot--the idea that the
amount Of free schooling avail
able to Americans now is not
enough in view of the comph-
Gated life of this age.
Would Lengthen Time
He recalled that when he went
to school the theory was that q
high school education would en-
able most people pretty well to
discharge their responsibilities as
citizens. But how can he be ex-
Ipected to prepare for modern
life in the same number of years,
Ihe asked.
II think the educational years
will have to be heightened" he
added.
One possibility he mentioned
is that every community have
two years Of free junior college
as well as the usual high school.
Then, remarking that here
you have to shove out some math
that everybody agrees Is good
mental discipline" to get some
thing else in the curriculum.
he suggested the possibility Of
lengthening the academy course
a year.
The President also noted that
the academy allotted lust q few
hours" in a fourth year course
for international relations.
They can use that all right. !"
he commented.
Refrains on One Subject
Told that in a philosophy
class the cadets were trained to
spot fallacious thinking, Mr..
Eisenhower grinned and said "I
could make some wisecracks
about that" But he refrained
from doing SO.
Inspecting scale models de-
scribed as preliminary architec-
tural concepts" of the permanent
Air Force Academy, the Presi-
dent pointed to one building and
asked "is this the chapel I heard
about?" He was told no. the
chapel model which caused so
much controversy had been re-
placed by q purely symbolic
model to indicate the approxi-
mate size while final designs are
worked out.
Gen. Harmon told Mr.. Eisen-

that his cadets get to bed early

In Washington, educators,

comment on MIR. Eisenhower's
suggestion, generally agreed that

in specialized fields such as
engineering, the sciences and

years Of college generally and
one official said the trend was
toward fewer years OF schooling.

In some cities has been changed
to Keep Christ In Christmas"
Aim Of the movement is to
eliminate the over-emphasis on
lcommercialism that had char
acterized the season and to rein
state its religious emphasis. Some
religious leaders feel there is still
too much commercial promotion
connected with Christmas.
For example. the Buffalo
(Wyo0 Ministerial Association
recently objected to the growing
trend to bring Christmas before
the people about two months
prior to the actual holiday" This
trend. the ministers said, "has
brought about the commercial
Iization of a sacred time Of the
year. The true spirit Of Christ
mas is lost because Of the ex-
tended time. People are tired OF
Christmas before the day &C
Itually arrives"
Reverence Stressed

recent years have become con.
scious OF the problem and have
taken the initiative in moves tc
Iplay down commercialism anC

lily theme. In which churches
have entered floats. Santa Claus

OCEAN CITY. Md, June IL
A plea for retention of zonlng
authority in the hands of mu-
inequalities under future inter-
probation of the new home rule
law was issued here today as
members of the Maryland Mu-
nicipal League concluded a two
day study session on the law
granting added powers to local
officials.
Washington Groves Mayor Ir-
wing L. McCathran said zoning
control on the local level is "all
important" and would not result
in a handicap to Zoning and
planning functions of regional
agencies.
Ordinarily, people of good will
may confer and solve zonlng
problems, and there is no need
to take over these powers from
the municipalities by legislative
conquest" he said.
State Senator Edward S,
Northrup, Democrat, of Mont
gomery County, said he forsees
many problems-some of them
probably ending in court-aris-
ing from the zoning provision OF
the new law passed by the 1855
Legislature.
The law implementing the
home rule amendment adopted
by voters last year. he said. pro-

reelection by only 10000 votes.
which is not too wide a margin
in a State which cast about
4,500,000 votes.
Since they elected George
Leader Governor last year, the
Democrats of Pennsylvania have
been predicting they would go
to town in the 1856 elections
that they would carry the State
for their presidential candidate
and elect a Senator. So the
Philadelphia mayoralty race has
taken on added significance for
the G. 0. P.
Mr.. Longstreth, 34-year-old
advertising executive with the
backing of anti-organization Re-
puhlicans and of thousands of
voters, won the
nomination handily.
He had promised to turn the
bosses out-the old bosses who
had dominated the Philadelphia
Republican organization for
years. until the people rose up
and tossed the G. o. P. out of
city control.
He still makes this promise.
The organization leaders don't
like him. but they have no place
else to go. Indeed, some of them
even supported Mr.. Longstreth
in the primary campaign-after
they saw they couldn't defeat
him.
Some of Mr.. Longstreth's Re-
publican supporters feel he made
a mistake in seeking a show
down with the organization
which is itself divided-over the
city chairmanship. However,
Mr.. Longstreth's decision to con-
tinue IN the race, as an inde-
pendent Republican. has re-
some of the gloom.

Pennsylvania COP.
Counting on Longstreth
By GOULD LINCOLN

Pennsylvania Republicans are
still banking on W. Thatcher
Longstreth, their nominee for
mayor of Philadelphia. for
aid in rebuilding the party in
that city, Notwithstanding the
wide split between Mr.. Long
streth and the organization over
the Craftsmanship Of the city
committee.
Mr.. Longstreth's threat last
week to withdraw from the may
orally race unless his man,
John M. Pomeroy. jr., was given
the Craftsmanship, and the
prompt manner in which the
ward leaders turned down Mr..
Pomeroy and reelected Robert
c. Duffy chairman, caused cold
chills to run up and down Re-
publican backs. But the cruSad-
ing and independent Mr.. Long
streth. after some delay. has
agreed to run as an independent
Republican candidate. He will
have the party label. And the
organization leaders say they
will go along with him, whether
he loves them or not.
Much more than the mayor
ality of Philadelphia is involved
in this race. Pennsylvania is
key State in the national elec-
tions next year. The soft spot
in the Republican Party of the
State has been Philadelphia
Hence the anxiety of the COP to
see Mr.. Longstreth win this may
orally election.
His Democratic opponent will
be Richardson DilWorth, who re-
signed as District Attorney to
run for Mayor. The present
Democratic Mayor, Joseph S.
Clark, jr.. declined to seek re-
election and is backing Mr.. Dill
worth.
The Republican Party in Penn
sylvania took a bad licking in
the 1854 elections. The Demo-
Gratis elected a Governor-the
first Democratic Governor since
the early days of the Presidency
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt
They also took three House seats
from the Republicans-so that
the present congressional divi-
sion is Is Republicans and ID
Democrats.
Next year. Senator Duff, Re-
publican, comes up for re-
election. The Democrats are
cunning for the Duff senatorial
seat. If they can hold on to the
city administration of Philadel-
phla, they are counting on roll
ing up an even bigger lead over
the Republicans in that city
than they did in 1852.
