DR.. Tyrone Guthrie Is .
man to listen to on the sub
ject Of acting.
England's huge Irishman is
generally regarded as the most
dynamic director in the Eng
disappearing theater. A large
part Of this reputation Is
based upon the wonders he
can work with actors. On his
horne grounds. the British
Isles. the very thought Of him
electrifies performers with. Of
course. a reservation here and
there on this or that detail Of
working with Guthrie"
He can be poisonously COR

tors can be sensitive about
correction even when 1t is
gentle.
However. over all, no man
is more arresting in the direc-
ton Of a play. any type of
play. or even in casual con-
versation.
He Speaks Out
DR.. Guthrie arrested this
correspondent the other day
with q remark about The
Method. the currently DOM
inant style Of acting in this
country. The Method, Of
course. Is the product of Ac-
tors Studio. and Is Illustrated
by such products Of the studio
as Marion Brando. Kim STAN
ley, Maureen Stapleton. and q
dozen other currently flashing
performers.
OF its effect, DR.. Guthrie
observed that it is making act
ing IN America IAN almost inn
perceptible phenomenon. This
was not. he added. to depre-
cate many a brilliantly effec-
tive performance in the Amer
lean theater and on the screen.
Nevertheless. he disagrees with
the principle that the best
acting is that which ferocious-
ly tries to look unlike acting.
DR.. Guthrie's appraisal could
not have been better timed to
inspire a quick study Of how

State of the World

We are approaching the time when
we may find it desirable to change the
name of the message which President
sends to each newly assembled Congress.
For it is misnomer to speak of this
report as message on the state of the
Union. Even a casual reading of the
address delivered yesterday by Mr. Eisen-
hover reveals that it is the state of the
world, rather than the state of the Union,
with which we are most deeply concerned
today
The President did not neglect the
domestic scene. He warned of the dan
ger Of imitation, and appealed, somewhat
unrealiStically, we thought, for self
discipline on the part of management
and workers. With other things, he
touched upon the problems of agricul-
ture, natural resources, schools and civil
rights-leaving the detailed proposals for
later messages. But the Presidents major
effort was reserved for a discussion of
the proper role of the United States in
a Shrunken world-a world in which not
only all free nations as he said, have
become our neighborS, but in which the
nations which are not free have also
become neighbors of ours.
This is the fact which dominates all
others, and which calls out most urgently
for the vision and wisdom and reSolu-
ton" of which the President spoke Ours
is revolutionary world-a world in
which the familiar landmarks of an old
order are being swept away. one by one.
In less than two decades, ancient political
institutions which had seemed so secure
have crumbled before the surging tide Of
nationalism and the demand for political
freedom. And because of this, the Presi-
dent could truthfully say that Americas
vital interests are worldwide, embracing
both hemispheres and every continent"
We have come long way in the
United States toward acceptance of this
relatively new fact of international life.
But we have still long way to go. The
future of our world, the decision between
war and peace, will turn in very large
measure upon the degree to which we
fully recognize that Americas vital in
terests are truly world wide-upon the
extent to which we are prepared to &C
cept the implications of this passage from
Mr.. Eisenhower's message: 1.-THE cost of
peace is something we must face boldly,
fearlessly. Beyond money, it involves
changes in attitudes, the remuneration Of
old prejudiceS, even the sacrifice Of some
seeming self-interest."

Site for q Stadium

There are encouraging indications
that the long hunt for a suitable site for
the proposed District stadium is nearing
an end. Since the site problem has a
bearing on later decisions as to the size
and design of the stadium, 1t is essential
that the choice of a location be given
priority by the Stadium Commission. And
there is growing support for site near
the armory, where stadium capacity
would be limited to about $4,000 spec
tators. Many persons believe that
stadium of this size would be adequate to
WaShington'S needs-and that 1t would
have economic advantages over super
arena of the sort envisioned by some
groups in the past.
Latest convert to the armory location
was a three-member committee of the
Stadium Commission, which Congress
created to advise 1t on the site, design and
financing Of great stadium for the
Nations Capital. The National Capital
Planning Commission long has favored
this site, which lies close to the new East
Capitol street bridge and its approaches.
Representative Harris of Arkansas al
ready has introduced bill to authorize
a stadium of $4,000 capacity in that area.
Both professional baseball and football
interests have said they would be satisfied
with such stadium, If Congress so leg
iSlates. The other site given serious con-
sideration by the commission is the Fed
eral land now occupied by the National
Training School on Bladensburg road
NE. The Department of Justice plans
to move the school to another city The
chief advocate of the Bladensburg road
site is the District Highway Department,
which believes that access facilities by
highway and railroad are better there
than in the armory area. The training
school site is large enough to accommo-
date much larger stadium, plus other
recreational buildings.
We hope that there will not be a
prolonged debate over a site for the sta
dunn. Certainly either the Bladensburg
road or East Capitol location could serve
the purposes of the stadium satisfacto-
rily, provided adequate highway connec-
lions are made. 1t is important that
action to bring stadium into being be

Early Birds

Like the traditional early bird, the
person foreSighted enough to buy his
reserved seat for the Inaugural Parade
while the supply still is plentiful will be
well rewarded. This is the advice that
comes from those who ought to know
the officials in charge of reservations for
special stands along the historic Pennsyl-
vania avenue route of the quadrennial
procession. They point out that late
corners at the last inaugural not only
risked getting less favorable places of
vantage than the early ticket buyers, but
had to contend with last-minute waiting
lines and confusion. So the advice from
the Inaugural Committee makes sense
Apply for your parade tickets without
delay and be assured of good seat for
the colorful presidential parade on
January 81.

Stevenson's Orotory

/, for one, take a dim view OF
the way in which Mr.. Nixon
continues to needle Mr.. Stew
enSon about his "oratory" at
every opportunity. So do the
over 100000 friends who
voted for Mr.. Stevenson in the
election. The Stevenson oratory
is only the outward manifesto
ton Of inner knowledge and a
deep understanding of and in
interest in human progress.
There is no after me comes
the deluge" in his philosophy.
He does care what happens to
those who come after him.
Mr.. Nixon is hearing only
the sound Of the words. II he
could only discipline himself
to listen for the meaning! Mr..
Stevenson cannot help speak
ing English fluently any more
than Mr.. Nixon can avoid
garbling it. Instead of poking
fun at the Stevenson oratory
let us strive to understand
what it is that he is trying to
tell us. It may lessen our
stupidity. Laura X. Pollock.

peared off the New England
coast, according to a bulletin
Of the International Oceano-

versity of Miami.
1t is the "angel shark"

is a similar creature in the
Pacific.
1t is a voracious and danger

bulletin. There is a record of
one which swallowed a wom-

stomach of another. Another

coast in spring for breeding.

many as rs at a single birth.
An adult weighs about 35
pounds and is from three to

There are fishes in the sea
which, when alive, look like
swimming pine cones. When
dead and dried they actually
could be mistaken at first sight
for pine cones.
The pine cones" are small
fishes, the largest slightly more
than 3 inches long. They are
rare anywhere. One genus
carries lanterns" luminous
organs on each side of the
mouth, as do many other ocean
fishes.
The habitat with which they
long we're associated was the
tropical western and eastern
Pacific. Lately they have been
found at considerable depths
in the eastern Pacific.

On Filling D. c. Posts

Why is it necessary for the
D. C. Commissioners to go be-
yond the realm of the District
into Maryland and Virginia to
select individuals for District
appointive posts?
The most recent case was
the appointment of a Mary
land resident as physician to
the D. C. Boxing Commission.
OF the five appointees that
comprise the d. C. Board of
Pharmacy. three are Mary
land residents.
Do we not have a good
enough caliber of District resi-
dents and taxpayers to fill
these posts?

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

nitely Of the Elizabethan sort.
From them came many great
entertainers.
Every older reader who suf-
fers from too much leaning
forward may help his own
case by the following:
Keep the relation of the
head and the book the same at
all times.
Achieve this relationship by
finding out the degree of bend
ing forward that now seems
natural.
Notice We say now
In this matter. as in so many
others. there is no going back.
Businessmen have good
motto. You can't stand still.
you either go forward or
backward"
Certainly no one can go back
TO the unstretched neck of
childhood.
The elasticity, for one thing.
Just isn't there
x x
About all one can do is find
out at which angle the head
and neck seem the most COM
Portable.
Then keep this as we'll as
you can while reading.
In most cases, it will mean
that the book is held higher,
as our correspondent suggests.
Surely the most comfortable
way is to hold the book we'll
down, resting the arms on
the sides.
This. unfortunately, is the
method that brought on the
trouble.
The book has to be held a
bit higher, to enable the neck
to be held in a more natural
position for the new day OF
reading.
For no one. Of course. is
going to give up reading just
because it strains the neck.
Maybe if we had known
about this, years ago, we could
have done something about it
in time, as they say.
Now, time has run out,
and We are left with a book
and a sore neck, and not much
we can do about it, but some
thing.
Try to hold the head up.
and back a bit. to foreshorten
the back of the neck.
Then bring the book well
up into vision.
1t isn't as good as in the
old days, but what is?

FOREIGN Aid

A letter to the editor cannot
be the medium for compre-
hensive consideration of for
eign aid. But we can here
urge that we think the ques-
ton through, and that our
thinking be clear.
Your January editorial,
Polish Trade Deal" expresses
the hope that Poland will be
held out of the Soviet camp,
but doubts that the current
plan for sale of foodstuffs
will by itself have that effect.
You then declare: But the dis
tressed conditions of the Pol
ish accommodating food
shortageS-was one reason for
last years rebellion against
Russian domination. and there
have been no signs that Mos
COW is able or willing to pro-
vide enough aid to meet these
particular needs"
What sensible basis can
there then be for urging in the
very next sentence that we
relieve the distress because Of
the important part played by
distress conditions? There
fore. purchase of American
food. and perhaps the later
working out Of a more COM
prehensive economic aid pro-
gram. might encourage a new
determination for still greater
freedom among the Poles"
Lest anyone be concerned
over the possibility that we
may not go to the aid of others
in need. I must point out that
the pros and cons of distress as
a motivating factor and our
own duties in that connection
are not the subject of this let
ter. But clear thinking and the
need for a wise policy are.
Similarly, the lead editorial
on January Z. Mr.. Dulles
Takes Over" states: But if
the Eisenhower project creates
a sense of security in the Mid
die East and improves eco
nomic conditions there. that
would be necessary first step
toward ultimate solution Of
such issues as the Arab Israeli
clash, the refugee problem and
the future of Suez." Whatever
the problems connected with
the Eisenhower project, the
Arab-Israeli differences, and
Suez, I should like to see proof
OF the two propositions which
are so lightly declared: that
improvement of economic con-
ditions is a first step toward
solution. and that it is a neceS-
sary step. Or is this another
statement of the fallacious
theory Of economic determin-
ism? ! submit that an attempt
to prove these points will dis
close the fallacy and may lead
to clearer thinking and con-
Sideration of fundamentals.
If the foundation be weak,
what can we expect of our
planning, domestic and for
eign? Lloyd Buchanan.

Dear Sir:
Some time ago you wrote
about tension neck. caused by
many years of leaning the
head to read.
Il thought you might be
interested in my way of try
ing to cure this. Perhaps 1
shouldn't use the word cure,
but at least it helps.
Il simply hold the book
higher. instead of in my lap.
The human lap. it seems.
is responsible for much evil, in
GLIDING tension neck.
Il just hold the book higher.
and this keeps me from bow
ing the head.
II am sure that if there is
anything to bow before, it is
a good book, but too much
bowling forward. as you say.
results in pain in later years.
so I hold the book high.
This makes me look from
the lower lids. but it helps my
neck no end.
II thought you and other
readers might like to hear
about this.
Very truly. A. B."

The idea is good. but in
practice it falls down, as many
ideas do.
Looking down. as it were,
from a raised head, is not
good for the eyes.
We imagine that after our
correspondent has tried this
for a time she will be glad
to go back to old-fashioned
reading.
The real remedy is not to
read so much.
This does it. but only If
the head is held erect in the
interim.
Which reminds one Of the
old-time burlesque show joke.
