Russian Authors Death Is Called
A Last Rebuke to Communists

through DR.. Zhivago, that he
and many others in the
world often felt they were
on a darkling plain, swept
with confused alarms, as
ignorant armies clashed in
the symbolic night.
And so he waS-and so are
we all.
Edmund Wilson, in "The
Shores of Light" quotes from
Prof. Alexander Bruckner's
History of Russian Litera-
ture"::
ITO the intelligent Russian,
without a free press, without
the liberty of assembly, with
out the right to free express
sion of opinion, literature
became the last refuge of
thought, the only means of
propagating higher ideas. He
expected of his country's
literature not merely aesthe-
tic recreation; he placed it
at the service of his aspira-
tionS. :"
We get some hint of this
from nya Ehrenburg, the
veteran propaganda gadf1y
and novelist who in his novel,
The Thaw," in effect loosed
a gusty sigh of relief at be-
ing permitted an expression
of aspirations and higher
ideas.
For Pasternak the quote
seems a neat fit. He did
place his writing at the serv-
ice of his aspirations. His
writings were not a denuncia-
ton Of the revolution. He
himself had believed in the
need for it. What he failed
to do was to idealize it, to
pretty it up, to hide the ef-
feet of the inevitable bru-
tality and uglineSS. For this
he was condemned and iso-
lated.
Pasternak wrote that if the
beast who sleeps in man
could be held down by threats
any kind of threats-then
the highest emblem of hu-
manity would be the lion
tanner with his whip. But,
he said, what has for CEN

Democratic Party Viewed as Likely
To Argue Plank Bitterly at Convention

The party platforms so
solemnly adopted by national
political conventions usually
are about as important to the
subsequent presidential cam
paign as are the limp posters
left hanging in the hotel
suites Of defeated candidates
for the nomination.
Things will be different this
time. specifically for the
Democrats. For not only civil
rights will embroil them. 1t is
now certain that a far more
profound issue will bitterly
engage the Democratic ma
tional convention in Los
Angeles. This is foreign pol
icy.
The Democratic Party to-
day is deeply divided over
what line the convention
should take over the broken
Summit conference and what
cold war policy should be rec
commended for the future.
The simple truth is this:
The less restraint and wisdom
shown by the Democrats in
handling this question the
more likely it will be that
whoever they choose for Pres
ident will be beaten by Rich
ard M. Nixon.
A Democratic group CEN
tering about Adlai E. Steven
son and Senator John F.
Kennedy, the presidential
front-runner, seems deter
mined to carry Summit criti-
cism Of President Eisenhower
past the point of no return.
Some of this criticism is valid,
accidentally. And it may
WOW the college audiences
and the ladies study groups
as Stevenson twice vowed
such groups in losing pres
idential elections.
If it goes much further in
its present waspiSh tone,
however, there will be two
certain consequences: /. The
country itself will be made
to appear unduly divided
amid a world crisis. 2. The
Democratic Party will seem
too much concerned with
what Nikita Khrushchev and
others abroad think and too
little concerned with what
the voters at home think.
Every time Mr.. Khrushchev
hits Mr.. Nixon makes all
this the more inevitable.
A second Democratic
group centers about such
wholly diverse figures other

LANSING, Mich, June 8
(AP.-Gov. G. Mennen Will
liams is expected to try to line
up Michigan's delegation to the
Democratic National Conven-
ton Solidly behind Senator
Kennedy, Democrat of Massa-
chusetts, at a special meeting
here next week.
The Governor has summoned

OF them with one-half a vote.

June 18.
Although Gov. Williams in
dorsed Senator Kennedy for

the Democratic presidential
nomination when the pair met
at Mackinac Island, Mich, last
week, he did not say whether
he would try to deliver the
delegation to the Massachu-
sets Senator on the first ballot.
This question may be de-
cided when Gov. Williams
meets with the delegates to
report on the Mackinac Island
conference and developments
related to the party's national
platform.
One top State party official
has estimated Senator Ken
nedy currently could count on
40 Of the 81 delegate votes,
with more falling in line as the

RALPH McGHL

Boris Pasternak. poet and
author of the Nobel Prize
novel ''Dr. zhivago," has
been buried, at his request,
in the graveyard of a small
Orthodox church near his
home in a village some 20
miles from Moscow.
Pasternak was a believer"
The revolution had rolled
over him. He had never lost
his personal faith nor his
love of country. Nor had his
zest for beauty of nature,
poetry, the written word and
people in any degree les
sened. Marxist communism
understandably found him
difficult. His faith in a Su-
preme Being was greater
than that in Marx and his
disciples. Pasternak's fame
was a trouble. So was his
death. His end was a last
rebuke, a final passive def
ance.
In thinking on the death
of this lonely man who held
fast to the hand of God, one
thought, in this time of in
creased world fear, of Mat
thew Arnold's Dover Beach"
"The sea of faith
Was once, too, at the full,
But now I only hear
It's melancholy, long with
drawing roar. =.
All, love, let us be true
To one another! for the
world which seems
To lie before us like a land
of dreams,
So various. so beautiful, so
new,
Hath really neither joy, nor
love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace,
nor help for pain,
And we are here as on a
darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms
of struggle and light
Where ignorant armies
clash by night"
Pasternak must have felt
all this--and more. Certain
ly he did see. as he revealed

In a dissenting opinion, Judge

that Brady certainly was not

WHY WASTE EFFORT?
MAKING N OF its most ambitious moves, the
Virgin Islands Repertory Theatre celebrated its 10th
anniversary by a presentation Of "Medea', in New York.
All concerned should be congratulated, even for the
thought, and determination to see that it was carried
out to the ultimate detail.
NEW DIRK CRITICS, perhaps the most critical in
in the world, did not take kindly to the efforts of the
players, nor anything else about it. Actors, producers,
and management are most concerned about what critics
say because the financial outcome of a play will often
depend upon the praise, or even kindly word of the
critics. This is not to say that there have not been sue
cesses without the green light from critics. Yet, the sit
uation is more often the other way.
MORE THAI EVER there is conviction in this cor
ner that there is need for a good, sound public relations
program for these Islands, one which develops real liai-
son between the Islands and the mainland. It seems to
us that much has been lost, and much more will be lost
unless and until some central, Wellcontrolled, efficient,
public relations program is developed. We might askWell
face it, for unless that is done, time, energy, and money
will be wasted, and we will be no further along the way
than when we started.
THOSE WHO PUT on Medea had a great idea, but
there it stopped. They are to be congratulated, but let US
not be lulled into illusions. We venture to bet that the
great bulk Of over 5000 Virgin Islanders in New York
did not know anything about whhatEssSwas taking place.
And the same is true for the AmeFlean public. The ar.
tistic and dramatic aspects Of thelplay are not here
under discussion. That we leave for the critics. The con-
Germ here is rather with what the venture could have
meant for the Virgin Islands in terms of good relations
and possible financial success.
FIRST, PLAY of the magnitude of Medea should
never have been undertaken. Why? Gl it was summer,
and little is done in theatre. ~ # undertaken, then it
should have been. taken on what is called the Straw
Hat Trail which is the presentation of plays in outly-
