A somewhat identical unity
of worker interests is a
potent underlying element

The Montgomery Light
Opera Association this week
will demonstrate again, via
Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan,
that love can be difilcult,
exciting, annoying, romatic-
or sometimes none of these
things, but only downright
misleading.
Especially so in the masters
"Iolanthe," another satiric
song piece in which a cluster
of fairies and a knot of Eng
list lords get completely be-
fuddled about who's in love
with whom, and, for that
matter, if all this is just
cricket according to parlia-
mentary procedure.
With this spring staging
of "Iolanthe," set for Friday
and Saturday evenings at the
Woodside Elementary School,
the local opera group enters
its second decade of Gilbert
and Sullivan productions.
Robert Branded heads the
entertainment as musical,
dancing, dramatic director.
His featured players, led by
Helen Jordan Qolanthe), Z,
Olive Stingle, Marion Scodarl
and Keith Decker, are Thom-
as Jones, Omar Pancoast,
Gershom Morningstar, James
Ueberhorst, Janice Stoftregen
and Evelyn Dobbins. Assorted
dukes, marquiseS, earls, vls-
counts, barons and fairies
are played by Walter Bow
man, Alan CARNEY, Dave
Gosnell, Robert Glynn-Jones,

Cotton Blasts
BoWles' Stand
On 7 Chinas

Senator Cotton, Republican
of New Hampshire, said yester-
day he would oppose Senate
confirmation of Representative
Chester Bowles, Democrat Of
Connecticut. if Mr.. Bowles is
nominated as Secretary Of
State.
Senator Cotton said in a
statement that Mr.. Bowles, in
advocating "a two Chinas'
policy at this time is not
only doing a disservice to his
country. but he is also going
to greatly embarrass Senator
Kennedy. the President-elect."
Urged Recognition
Mr.. Bowles, a foreign policy
adviser to Kennedy during the
campaign, has been mentioned
for appointment as Secretary
Of State.
Senator Cotton said that for
some time Mr.. Bowles has
urged "the recognition of COM
munist China as the govern
ment of the mainland and Free
China only as the ruler Of
Formosa."
Such a policy would have
to be rammed down the throats
of the Republic of China and
of Communist China" Sena-
tor Cotton said. Both are vio-
lently opposed to it.
Sees Prestige Loss
Red China has repeatedly
and stridently denounced this
concept and consistently reit-
Grated what it calls its right
to seize Formosa by force. The
Republic of China, too, could
be expected to resist such an
arrangement with all the means
at its command"
Senator Cotton said the
Bowles proposal would cause
a great loss of prestige in the
Far East for the United States.
Gas a member of the United
States Senate I want to support
the incoming President in every
way possible" Senator Cotton
said. "but I do not see how 7
could bring myself to vote for
the confirmation Of a Secretary
of State who favored any form
Of recognitiorf Of Red China"
