And what has Mr.. Graham
himself done about all these
changes by the playwright and
actors and directors Of The
Firstborn'? Among the actors
and directors, incidentally,
there was also Anthony Quayle
who did the play in the spring
of 1858 at New York's Cornet
Theater.
WELL" says Mr.. Graham,
1--WE followed Fry's philosophy,
a basic assumption of which is
that The Firstborn' is a living,
changing organism. I have
done this in the spirit Of still
another comment Fry himself
has made on the play, to wit:
"A play can be a fairly fluid
affair, taking new turns in the
hands of different actors. In
making the present version (the
New York one of 1859 I was
much helped by the magma
tive penetration of Anthony
Quayle who both played the
part of Moses and directed the
production"
And what has been the ef-
feet of all this study, compare

the director of this weeks uni
versity production.
Wonderful" Mr.. Graham
sums up.

Tom Tryon, one of Hollywood's
most popular and versatile of all ac-

with Brian Keith as the rip-roaring

Brien as the frustrated, shouting,
apoplectic Federal Security agent

Dany Saval, beautiful young

The story is fun all the way, from
the successful flight around the

Miss Saval is famous in France as

Massive Military Offensive In South Viet Nam Comes to a Halt

SAIGON, Viet Nam tR = A massive South Vietnamese military operation in the sWampy southern regions ground to halt prema- turely Thursday. Apparently re- suits were not as good as expected.
 The operation began l5 days ago in the mangrove swamps of Ca Mau Peninsula. Plans provided for 4,000 troops backed by fighter aircraft, US. helieopters an d armored naval craft to move in a diamond pattern seeking out Com munist Viet Cong guerrilla posi- tions. Only two sides of the dia- mond had been completed when the operation halted.
 American military sources said the major assault, the first into a Communist -e c n tr 0 l e d region, weakened guerrilla communications and decimated their supply lines.
 They'll take long time to re- cover from this," one American adviser said, pointing out that the large ammunition caches found by the government would take the Viet Cong a long time to replace
 However, as the days rolled by the major goal of the operation the killing of Viet Cong guerrillas failed to materialize. American sources put the dead at about 22O Known guerrilla forces in the area are estimated at about 4,O0O.

Animals Pave Way
 In Escape Capsules For Bomber Crews
By Elton Fay

w ASHIN GTON tR - B-58 bomber crews are just going to have to rely on the testimony of bears and chimpanzees that their escape capsules will work at faster than-sound speed.
 = In answering question, Air Force said warrant officer had made test of the escape device at a speed below the supersonic mark, but that there are no imme- diate plans for human tests above that speed.
 Animals have been elected from B58s at supersonic speed, which is more than 760 miles an hour at low altitude, more than 660 at | high altitude.
 The Air Force only recently be- gan installing the escape devices in planes coming off the produc- tion line of the Convair Division of General Dynamics Corp. The first installation was made in the 97th of the B-58 series. Total pro- duction, scheduled to end during the next several months, will amount to only about 12O aircraft.
 It is possible, a spokesman said, that the escape capsules may be built into B-58s already produced and in operation. In this case, there would be time to arrange a test of the capsules performance at supersonic speed by man.
 But the spokesman said the Air Force is convinced, on the basis of tests made, that the device will function properly.Z.
 The Air Force points to two bears and chimpanzee, alive and unin- jured, as proof. The animals were used because they structually re- semble man in weight, size and other features.
 They were blown out=of =B-58s, riding capsules, at speeds ranging from 870 to 1,06O miles an hour, and at attitudes ranging from low level up to 45,0OO feet.
 The problem of escape from damaged aircraft sharpened critic ally with the advent of aircraft flying at high speeds. Without pro- ,, lection, skin could be ripped from a man as he emerged from a cock pit into the blast of air.

BY MARRIAGE
Unificution Move
BegunYeorsAgo

The move toward unifica-
ton in the armed forces
actually was begun years ago
when romance led to hun
dreds of interservice mar
riageS.
So it was with Martha
King, daughter of Mrs. Ernest
Joseph King and the late
Fleet Admiral King, who is
now the wife of Air Force
Vice Chief of Staff Gen.
Frederic Harrison Smith, jr.
Mrs. Smith grew up mostly
In Annapolis, one of seven
daughters and one son in an
all-Navy family. They learned
as all service children do, to
be at home wherever the fleet
was-Far East, the West and
Panama.
Married In 1888
It was in the latter place
in 1893 she married Gen.
Smith, then a West Point
graduate, class of 1929. He
is the son of Mrs. Smith. ST.,
of Hampton, Va, and the late
Maj. Gen. Smith, USA.
A poised and charming
hostess, Mrs. Smith likes
people," She said, II really
prefer small groups in order
to be able to talk to each one
and get to really know them.
It has made the many moves,
one has to make as a service
family, so very stimulating.
And fun, too. when one re-
turns to that same place as
one always does in due time"
Since late May of last year
the Smiths have called Quar-
tiers SO at Boiling Air Force
Base, home. There, this
slender service wife has
sought again to create the
particular atmosphere which
spells home to her treasured
family.
Their sons are 1t. Smith
III, a graduate of West Point
Glass of 1857, now a fighter
pilot stationed in Germany;
James, graduated from Texas
A. and M. last May and is
now in London with the
shipping firm of Clarkson &
Co., and Janvier. who is at
home with his parents and is
a student at Alice Deal
School.
Mrs. Smith, like all good
Air Force wives, has a keen
interest in Air Force aid and
works in her quiet way for
the success of its annual
benefit, run by the Air Force
Officers Wives Club, which
this year will hold a fashion
