the moviegoer'S is likely to be

FIN DE Steele: The end Of
that cycle of closing notices for
the double prize winning "All
The Way Home" came with the
fifth of these.
And how did it leave the Fred
Coe-Arthur Cantor production
which won both the Critics
Circle and Pulitzer awards?
In the hole for $115,000 of
its $150,000 cost after 334 per-
formances, that's how. The
disaster implicit in this, how
ever, is less harsh than the bare
figures indicate. Thanks to a
film deal with Paramount, a
studio with courage, "All The
Way Home" will be Transcribed
to the screen with every pro-
spect that the original investors
ultimately will be reimbursed.
Despite this reprieve, how
ever, a lot of heads will be
shaking sadly that a three
prize winner met the fate of
"All The Way Home" The
third prize, if you've forgotten,
was James Agee's Pulitzer for

quite as refreshing as when
moviegoers first laid eyes on
them.
In spite of the latter qualifi-
cation, however, their presence
does prove two things. One is
that the little hellions have
built a loyal following among
farce fans, the other that the
whole corps of English farceurs
is ready at any time to work
with these sub-teen Circes.
The cast of the latest st.
Trinian's saga reads like a di-
rectory of the British Screen
Actors Guild. Most Of the parts
are the n1erest fragments but
pouncing upon them are such
performers as Cecil Parker,
Joyce Grenfell, George Cole,
Eric Barker, Sidney James,
Dennis Price, and Raymond
Huntley.

The hard-pressed talents in
volved in the latest st. Trim
ian's episodes are the three
which produced the screenplay.
Instead of a plot. they've
come up with a series of gags
and farce vignettes through
which meanders a conspiracy
to kidnap the sixth form-and
what forms-girls for an ORR
entail potentate's harem. The
kidnap idea, however, is hard
ly anything more than a line
to return to while the next gag
is being set up.
The action begins with the
little mons ecstatically
watching the entire school
going up in flames, a holocaust
they encourage at one point by
connecting the firehose to a
handy gasoline truck. For this
misdemeanor, the entire stu
dent body is hailed into court
where the liberality of st. Trim
ian's education enables it to
make a shambles of English
justice.
The most effective witness in
this process is a beautiful
blond alumna of st. Trinian's
who has evolved into a star
stripteaser and feels that it is
no less than her duty to ask
the same opportunity for those
who have come after her.
These are representative
samples of the best bits of ac-
ton in THE Pure He'll of st.
Trinian's" but there's one col
lateral item that probably also
should be mentioned.
The center of this one is
Joyce Grenfell who plays a po-
lice sergeant whose marriage
has been delayed for l6 years
while she attends to one mess
or another at st. Trinian's.
This is a long time for any
woman to be torn between love
and duty yet it not only has
taught Miss Grenfell great
skillS in the art of survival but
also of being one of the fun
niest humans trapped in the
delinquencies of the school
which she patrols.
The fact is that Miss Gren-

The field training period for
Co. "E' this Summer will be spent
entirely in a biVouac area. This
means that everybody will sleep
in pup tents or jungle hammocks
or sleeping bags, whichever they
prefer or have available. The pup
tents being Government issue. the
hammocks and sleeping bags be-
ing purchased by the individual
on his own. TO some. this would
sound like a Summer vacation in
Garrett County, but much moro
seriousness will be in the minds
of the men as the training begins.
An Army training test for tank
platoOns is the big objective for
this years cncampmcnt. This is a
test which puts a tank platoon
through a "a hour period of sim
ulated combat. under varying CON
ditions. Although this test is the
objective of this years encamp-
ment there has to be many hours
of preparation and training prior
to its execution Training sched-
uled in preparation for the test
includes: Night motor marches
which will be conducted under
blackout conditions, Offensive and
Defensive action, as we'll as in
telligence training
Long hours are in store for the
members of the Unit as on several
days the training schedule calls
for starting to work at 500 A. NJ
and concluding at 800 p. NJ On
other occasions there will be night
training from 800 to 100.
This cncampmcnt promises to be
very interesting one and if being
busy makes time go faster, the
jam packed training schedule as
surcs us that the Is days will
seem like five.

Civil Defense Compromise Plan

$40 billion. Subsequent talks with
contractors and union officials
have encouraged a hope in the
Pentagon that the necessary con-
struction, involving 10 square
feet per person, can be accom-
plished for approximately half that
sum. The Federal Government does
not expect to pick up the check
for all of this amount since the
program is being designed to slim
ulate local and provate efforts
that will carry much of the ex-
pense burden.
A second feature of the new
program will be a substantial ef-
fort at technical assistance to
the communities in their prepara-
tions. Mr.. Pittman is anxious to
establish in each community
squads of trained volunteers quail
flied to perform the variety of
protective services that would be
necessary in an attack. He is hop
ing to offer a training program
that will keep these volunteers
keyed to the last developments
and techniques and capable of
remaining ready over the long
period when their services may not
be necessary.

against cold recognition that it
will be an expensive, thankleSS ef-
fort subject to criticism from the
allied nations abroad and to jibes
from the political opposition at
home. He is said to have felt
that these considerations, includ-
ing all the prospective PROBLEMS
implicit in the program, are out
weighed by responsibility to do
everything feasible to protect the
population in a time when nuclear
attack is possible.
The Kennedy aides will not dis
cuss the Federal cost involved in
the new program but the new ad-
ministrator, Steuart Pittman, is
hopeful that it can be accom-
plished without substantial in
crease in the present staff of
about 1900 persons most of whom
are presently located in Battle
Creek, Mich. This is an inherited
staff and he faces a delicate prob
lem in absorbing it into his pro-
gram at that distance. Most of the
work on the new program is cur
rently being done by about 80
people and some of the old per-
sonnel will almost certainly have
to be brought back to Washing
ton for the intense effort that
lies ahead.

Most of the people who listened

that there are about 400 CORE

about IS per cent of them are

The volunteers were told they
were not expected to stay in Jail

The new phase of the Kennedy
program for civil defense will fea-
ture a multi-purpose approach to
underground shelters that prom
ises to dot the nation with sub
terranean parking lots, COM
munity rooms, storage space, and
hospital clinics.
The program which the Presi-
dent approved at Hyanais Port
last Friday will be designed to
avoid as much as possible the
construction of underground
rooms that can be useful only in
case of attacks.
President Kennedy is described
as anxious to take the steps nee

Science of Spying

Joachim Leopold. a West Ger
man engineer and specialist in
supersonics, was picked out as
a possible agent for the Polish
State Security Service when he
went to the 1857 Leipzig Fair on
business.
Contact with Leopold was made
through an official of the Polish
Trade Delegation in East Berlin
acting as an agent for the Sc
curity Directorate of the Polish
Ministry of Internal Affairs CUB).
Leopold was given the cover name
Leon" and paid a salary of 1900
West German marks a month.
Leopold gave the UB technical
information from his own firm
and from a French firm, photo
graphing documents which came
into his possession. The most
important information he supplied
concerned supersonic devices and
metallurgy.
Leopold was of special import
ance to the Communists because
during World War II he had
worked on electrical guidance Sys-
TENS for rockets and had been
associated with such German
rocket specialists as Wernher Won
Braun and Edouard Fischel, both
now living in the United States.
The UB passed on this infor-
nation to the Soviet Unions
State Security Service, currently
known as the Committee of State
Security (KGB).
Late in 1859 or early 1860 the
KGB asked the UB to determine
whether Leopold could be sent to
the United States to meet with
Fischel. The KGB urged that
contact be made, since it wished
to use Leopold as it's channel in
an effort to get German scien-
lists now in the United States
to return to Germany.
Before this plan could be put
into effect, however, Leopold was
arrested by the West German po-
lice.
