Money Policies
The Democrats are prepared
to continue their attack on
what they call the adm !nistra-
tons high-interest and tight
money policies. They also will
contend the United States needs
economic expansion to prevent
unemployment.
But none of these will equal
civil rights in generating polit-
ical heat. Senate leaders have
agreed to face the issue about
February IS. and predictions
on how long the debate will
last range from three to six
weeks.
Southern Democrats will re-
sist any extension Of Federal
enforcement machinery into
what they regard as an area
OF States rights. But a coalition
OF Northern Democrats and
Republicans is expected to push
q new law designed to insure
racial equality in voting and to
hasten school desegregation In
the South.
One well informed Senate
source predicted yesterday that
this Northern coalition will
pass a stronger bill than

Navy Says Farewell
To The Walter Boones.
BY RUTH DEAN
Star STAFF Writer

The Navy said farewell
yesterday to another of its
most respected officers with
all it had - a presidential
citation with Distinguished
Service Medal, a 17-gun
salute, oratorical tribute and
a reception attended by
many old friends.
The farewell was for Ad-
miral Walter F. Boone who
retired yesterday. just one
day after retirement cere-
monies were held in Norfolk
for Admiral Jerauld L.
Wright, both officers having
served with distinction in
NATO posts.
Admiral Wright who with
Mrs. Wright was among yes
terday's guests at the Navy
Sail Loft ceremony, had
been Supreme i.llied Com

Boone's last tour of duty

The retirement ceremony

NATO countries in salute to

Farewell Address

Associated Press staff Writer
Millions of women in
America have an interest in
what's going on in a high
ceilinged hearing room in the
Department of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare.
It's all about their lip
sticks.
But you'd hardly know it
if you popped in to listen to
some of the 1000 pages of
testimony gathered since
February II.
Mostly, the talk is about a
special strain of albino rats
and what happened to them
in Food and Drug Admins
tration laboratory tests.
Pretty Technical
And that can be pretty
technical, it turns out.
Toxicity, parts per million,
Spleens, body versus organ
weights are words frequently
heard. Once in a while
familiar things like pepper,
beeSwaX or castor oil are
mentioned-things the women
might know more about.
There's so little interest
that FDA Hearing Examiner
William j. Risteau, who has
charge of the proceedings,
can't always get a room in
which to hold forth.
One snowy day, he and
his encourage were moved
down to the basement of the
Agriculture Building, blocks
away. Mr.. Risteau plain
lively told the attorneys he
hopes they wind things up
today because Il don't have
a room for Thursday"
The audience mostly con-
sists Of FDA specialists, some
of whom admit they're in
trigued because there's rare
ly a hearing like this in their
department. They seem to
know what's going on.
Listen to Witnesses
Two housewives have been
among the regulars, sitting
in on behalf of a new organ
ization here, Federation of
HomemakerS. They listen
as witnesses drone through
data on nine FDA color tests.
FDA's point in all this is
that IA coal tar colors used
in lipsticks can no longer be
considered harmless. Seven
of the dyes have been fed to
rats with sorrowful results.
Now, unless the hearings
disprove the findings, the
agency is required under the
law to halt use of the colors
that go into most of Amer
icas lipsticks.
Same Points
Industry lawyers say the
tests don't prove that any
harm can come to the lady
who splashes a bit Of color
on her lips a few times a
day and may swallow a
minute quantity Of dye.
Every chance they get, in
questioning witnesses, indus

the drama of Helen Keller's
breakthrough to life at the
Playhouse Theater. The human
spirit, it should go without say
ing, is in rather dire need Of
just such a display and its
more vulnerable passions are
deeply in the debt of Miss Ban
croft and little Miss Duke.
1t is a ravaging spiritual and
physical ordeal these two go
through in performing their
roles as teacher and blind, mute
pupil. Yet its fruits are that in
credible, stunning, triumphant
kind Of theater that fingers
long in memory. Because this is
true. it is unjust and picayune
to note that, in its lesser
aspects, Mr.. Gibson's play is
awkward and fragmentary.
These have to do with other
relationships in the Keller fam
lily life. To expect Mr.. Gibson
to do more than use them as
counterpart is unreasonable
and ungrateful.
AS Annie Sullivan, the maim-
ed Irish orphan who released
q radiant soul in q sightless,
mute little animal, Miss Ban
croft needs all the missilelike
emotionalism of her own Ital-
ian nature.
Into this remorselessly rag
ing conflict, the core of the
play. Miss Bancroft pours a
fiery faith, a wry, fey humor
and. most dramatic of its ele-
mentS, a shattering willingness
to be cruel in order to be kind.
In no other way can she pierce
the frenzied helplessness of tiny
Miss Duke, jerking, clawing,
f1uttering through the plays
three acts.
What The Miracle Worker"
takes out of these two, which
is a lot. it more than puts into
the positively awed witnesses to
their performance.
Arthur Penn has staged "The
Miracle Worker" as a clash of
furies, the fury of Miss Ban
croft to reach into the child's
anguish, of the latter to break
out to life whose wonder she
senses. Neither the drama of
the conflict nor its suspense is
diminished by the fact that its
result is known in advance.

van must touch the child's en-

things that have names. Alone
of all the members of the Kel-
lers' Alabama household, Miss
Sullivan has faith that this can
be done by an endless repetition
of words spelled out in the fin
ger alphabet.
Her conviction is that there
is a shining intelligence and a
hunger to know buried in her
pupil.
To prove it, there is a cruel
preliminary battle to be fought,
the one that provides the play
with its spectacular second act.
This is the violent physical
combat in the Keller dining
room between the determined
teacher and her savage ward.

has learned to fold her napkin,

US. Suspects
Reds Cheat On
Nuclear Test Ban

WASHINGTON, R-Top U. S.
officials are increasingly sus-
picious that the Soviet Union is
cheating on the moratorium on
nuclear weapons test explosions.
But so far as can be determined
from public statements, and in
formation obtained privately from
Eisenhower administration lead
ers, the United States has been
unable to get proof.
What Vice President Nixon told
a Toledo, Ohio, audience had al
ready been stated by chairman
John A. McCone of the Atomic
Energy Commission.
In essence, it was that Soviet
underground blasts have been de-
tected without firm evidence as
to whether they were nuclear.
The Soviets say they were not.
Some administration officials
said they believe substantially
the same information has been
given to Sen. John Kennedy, the
Democratic presidential candidate.
McCone told newsmen at Hot
Springs, Va, last week that the
Russians have stated they were
firing heavy chemical explosions,
evidently meaning huge blasts of
dynamite or TINT.
"But we don't know why such
high chemical explosions would
serve any useful purpose" Nc
Cone said
