Unfortunately, this fellow loses
his free spirit and succumbs !
to the notion that Stella has
to marry him and he even sets
the day. This is his fatal, |
though not Immediately to him,
mistake.
Stella" which was made in
Greece, is highly reminiscent
in style Of those Italian films
Of the late '40S that Sparked
the Roman movie renaissance
with their "neo realism" Being
"old new wave" rather than
new new wave" it has a GER
tain quaintneSs. But it also
captures admirably the flavor
of life in that neighborhood
and on that social stratum pop
ulated by Stella and friends.
1t also has, which probably
should be no surprise, some of
that inevitability of ancient
Greek tragedy. It's drama
flows inexorably toward cli-
max it's participants can not
control, because they can not
control themselves.
This effect is vitiated some
what by a climactic confronta-
ton straight out of the Holly
wood WeStern-the face-down
in the empty street. In this case
it has the soccer player and
Stella stalking slowly toward
each other and it could make
you laugh at the wrong time.
Even so, you'll come away
from Stella" aware that you
have been watching an actress
with a compelling personality
and an abundant power to sway
emotions.

When her case history is
taken up here, Stella ic near
ing the end of a romance with
a nice young man who, the
suggestion is. is too good for
her. They get along fine, but
he is getting tired of going
home and keeps insisting he
wants to marry her and take
her Away From All This. Away
From All This is not where
Stella wants to go; you can
call it a gilded cage, but this
bird knows a trap when she
sees one.
So a soccer player with an
eager look in his eye turns up
and it is like Ingrid meeting
Roberto, or two armies clash
ing in the center of a great
plain. Or, like he's a piece Of
uranium, she's a piece of ura-
mum and together they are a
critical mass. Wham! is what
happens.
This leads, through nobody's
fault but his own, to the death
of the soccer players predeces-
sor and Stella is mighty cut up
when the family orders her to
cut out from the ranks of the
mourners. She is not so cut
up however, that she is pre-
vented from enjoying life and
love. The new man is much
more Stella's type-full of ami
NAL high spirits, and let's live
it up today, tomorrow may
never come.

She has had an outstanding

The SPA also for the first
time appointed an executive

and will devote his efforts to
building up the SPA on a ma

DR.. Jose Antonio Mayobre,
the Venezuelan Ambassador to
the United States, said yeSter-
day that the current successors
Of Gen. Trujillo sponsored that
plot, and that their govern
ment will be still worse" than
the old one.
The seven-member Sane
tions Committee" was set up
last August after an GAS For
eign Ministers meeting in
Costa Rica voted to apply sane
tions against the brutal Tru-
jillo regime. 1t was to keep a
continuous eve on the Carib-
bean republic in order to rec
ommend decreased or increased
sanctions - depending on the
development of the regime.
Members Listed
The seven members of the
committee are: Panama, Brazil,
Chile, Ecuador. Mexico, Hon
duras and the United States.
Following the Costa Rica de-
cisions all members of the OAS
severed diplomatic relations
with the Dominican Republic,
and put an embargo on ship
ping ornaments, petroleum
products, trucks and truck
parts there. In addition, the
United States refused to let
Trujillo share in any part of
the Cuban sugar quota cut last
July.
American officials admit that
the new government has not
given any hint about wishing to
become reconciled with the rest
of the hemisphere. They say
Trujillo's successors have not
been consulted about the new
fact-finding committee.
The American aim is to exert
some leverage for moderation in
concert with its allies. One
official said that If the new
government refused to accept
the inter-American committee
that in itself would prove
something"
Stronger Action Possible
If that maneuver should fail,
they note privately, at least
other members of the hemi-
sphere would be lined up for
taking more drastic action
jointly. Under the Treaty of
Rio de Janeiro, this action
could be total import-export
embargo and military inter-
vention by the OAS.
These officials left no doubt
that a major American worry
is indications that the new
Dominican regime might accept
a pro-Moscow line - either
alone or in concert with Cuban
Premier Castro.
American policymakers set

High-ranking officials, who

facts seemed clear from Asso-

Most Republicans in Congress
have opposed the tractor deal
on the grounds that it involves
'blackmail," the payment OF

of the Logan Act which bars
private citizens from dealing

Congressional foes of the drive
