THE PASSING SHOW
Old Vic's New Macbeth
A Drama to Remember


new Old Vic company, at
least to Americans. Or, to
those who remember this
fact, to suggest that Eng
lands theater is inexhaust-
IDLY supplied with incompar-
able ShakeSpeareans.
The courtesy of participat-
ing in curtain calls Is one
that is denied play reviewers.
RemorSeleSs headlines sum-
mon them, morning and eve
ing reviewers alike although
this is not widely understood.
This particular refugee
from elemental decency on
opening night was informed
that he missed one Of this
"Macbeth's" great moments,
the still haunted, exhausted
Mr.. Clements return to the
stage, at curtains re-rise.
Still, A SOlace
The reproved one was left,
however, with the solace that
he had seen as much as his
deserving; a Macbeth who of
the lot of them might be the
most remembered. In tightly
timed scene after scene, Mr..
Clements and Miss Jefford
had risen to the plays awe
some challenges. An migrate
might have wished for a more
accented reading of Mac
beth's rueful, self-condemn-
ing Il had else been perfect"
Ingratitude of this extreme
was clearly out of bounds.
Before this, there were the
power-sick scene of the war
rior asking counsel of the
taunting witches, and the
CORY, conscience tortured
slaughter of Duncan to
launch Macbeth into his
homicidal orbit. In the lat
ter of these never did a
stricken general suffer more
cruelty the truth OF his
wife's: my hands are of your
color: but I shame to wear
a heart so white."
This was a Macbeth see
ing the dream of power gone
hollow with yet the murders
of his good friend Banquo
and the innocent household
of the Macduffs to make his
guilt the more inexplicable to
himself. And to give proper
ton to the desperate and
humilating panic of the ap-
pearance of Banquo's ghost
at the banquet.
A Reach for Pride
Mr.. Clements could not
have been an actor new to
this often labelled 'unplay-
able role" Still, so it was,
absorbingly to the plays duel
scene at the end in which
the old warrior seeks to re-
gather a wisp of his once
justifiable, irredee m a BILE
pride.
The actor who. took the
curtain call was to be pre-
seen in the Macbeth to whom
his wise creator had given
the line: II gin to grow a.
weary of the sum-"
"And in last judgment on
self and life:
Tomorrow and tomorrow,
and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace
from day to day,
To the last syllable of re-
corded time;
And all our yesterdays, have
lighted fools
The way to dusty DEATH"
No hint Of the over-melo-
dramatic intruded upon this
Macbeth, so drawn at that
curtain call the reviewers
missed.

Object Causes Pressure Change Around Seattle

SEATTLE R-A brilliant, blue white object that flared in the western sky about 10:45 pm. Tues day caused pressure changes sim liar to those noted after large nuclear explosions, the Weather Bureau said today.
 Needles recording barometrie pressure jumped in Seattle, Ol- ympia and Toledo, Wash, obserV- CTS said Whether it was a rise or drop in pressure could not be de termined without further analysis.
 Hundreds of persons in western Washington saw the object as it moved horizontally about 35 de- grees above the western horizon. They said it appeared to disinte- grate after a few seconds, with pieces breaking off. Then it flared up even brighter and seemed to die out.
 Robert Gribble of Seattle, a di- rector for the National Investiga- tions Commission on Aerial Phen- omena, said the angle of flight and the length of time it was visible indicated the object was neither a meteorite nor a re-entering satel- lite He watched it 20 seconds.

UNEMPLOYMENT LOWEST IN US. IN TWO YEARS

WASHINGTON R-Unemploy- ment fell by 445,O00 in July, and the idle rate dropped to it's low est point in more than two years
 The job improvement may take some of the steam out of the drive in some quarters for an immediate tax cut to improve the economy.
 Secretary of Labor Arthur Gold berg said that the employment situation is only one of a mixed bag of statistics which the admin istration is scanning in seeking a tax cut decision.
 The unemployment rate declined to 5.3 per cent of the labor force.
 Employment increased slightly by 25,000 to 69,546,000. This is a record number of Americans at work, over a million more than in July last year.
 Unemployment declined by 445,- GOO to 4,018,000. This is II million fewe than July last year and about the same level as in July 1860.

Senate Committee Oks but Nauls .JEks Tax Bill
ByJOE HALL

WASHINGTON LIP = A | e r weeks of hearings, the Senate Fin anee Committee has approved a mauled version of President Ken nedys tax revision bill. But chair man Harry F. Byrd D-Va1 said he would carry to the floor his fight against it's key provision.
 The Virginian said today he would try to knock out the invest ment= credit provision, designed as an incentive to American business to modernize it's machinery and equipment.
 Byrd plans to use as one of his main arguments the contention that the bill as it cleared the com mittee will cost the treasury an estimated s750 million a year.
 As it passed the House, the bill was figured to provide a s12O mil lion surplus.
 Byrd passed his vote as the com mittee approved the bill 9-2 Tues day after struggling with it thru hearings and executive sessions since April 2.
 Administration Senate leaders have said they may hold up the tax measure until the President decides whether to seek a cut in personal income tax rates this ses- sion
 Byrd succeeded during his com mittee's consideration of the bill in knocking out the biggest reve- nue-produeing provision in it = 2 tax withholding plan on dividends and interest

Flibuster Ends on Communications Satellite Measure

WASHINGTON tR-The Senate ended the filibuster over the ad- ministration' communications sat elite bill today by sending the measure to committee and tagging it for renewed action by Aug 10.
 With the unanimous consent az reement assigning the measure to the Foreign Relations Committee, leaders won their fight to get the bill formally before the Senate
 Filibustering opponents won a temporary delay. They also tri- umphed in their contention that the Foreign Relations Committee should review foreign policy as- poets of the proposal.
 The agreement put an Aug 10 time limit on committee action on the bill.
 However, Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said he hoped the committee would act sooner than that. When the bill is reported back it will be taken up immedi- ately by the Senate.
 There is nothing in the agree- ment to prevent a new filibuster then.

President of Us. Steel Says Industry Needs Tax Cut

 Blough, board chairman of US. Steel Corp, the No. F producer also favors cut in federal spend- ing. He praised Defense Depart ment efforts in this direction.
 Ever since major steel eompan= ies were baked in an attempt te make a price rise stick in April Blough has argued strongly for in- creased investment in steelmaking equipment as an answer to stiffen- ing competition from abroad and new materials at home.

Doctor Testifies .Chance' Withheld Drug in the US.

WASHINGTON tR - pr. Fran ces Kelsey of the Food and Drug Administration testified today she was alerted by chance to the po- tential danger of a German tran quilizer blamed for deformities in thousands of babies.
 She put up the roadblock that prevented wide commercial distri- button in this country.
 Dr. Kelsey's testimony before a Senate subcommittee, along with that of FDA Commissioner George Larrick, brought suggestions from senators for establishment of ma chinery for better international ex- change of drug information.
 Sen. Hubert Humphrey, O. Minno, chairman of the Govern ment Operations Subcommittee, said Surface evidence indicates a lag in, if not a total lack of, communication" about the side eff fleets of the German drug thali- domide.
 The tranquilizer has been blamed for the birth of several thousand uniformed babies in West Ger many and other countries after being taken by pregnant women.
 However, Larrick testified that FDA has not found any deformed infants associated with the test Ing programs sponsored by US firms
 The drug was not released by the FDA for commercial distribu- tion in this country. but Larrick said it was supplied by four sub salaries of Richardson, Merrell Inc, of New York, to experts for use in studying its safety for man. The number of such doctors has been reported as about 1.200.
 Present law, Larrick noted, per mits manufacturer to supply doctors with new drugs for use in such investigations.
 pr. Kelsey, a gray-haired medi- cal officer for the FDA, testified that the American firm applied to FDA for approval of the drug in September 1860, and that she was assigned to study the application.
 She said that after looking over the application, she felt more in- formation was required about whether it would be safe and asked the company to submit fur ther data.
 While this material was being assembled, Dr. Kelsey said, she "chanced" to read letter to the editor of British medical jour- nal that indicated the German drug was associated with peri pheral neuritis.
 That led her to further inquiry.
 Much of her testimony had been outlined by Humphrey.

Presidents January estimate
that in the fiscal year 1868 the
government will show a small
surplus of $463 million, re-
sulting from estimated receipts
of $685. billion and expendi-
lures of 1882 billion.
Senator Byrd challenged
these estimates on the ground
that they were based on an ex-
pected increase of $11 billion
in tax collections, which he does
not think will be realized. He
predicted another substantial
deficit in 1868 unless Congress

Says Rise Expectable
Mr.. Gerrity said much of the
extra cost was expectable in
a trail blazing job such as the
base construction project, and
Mr.. Zuckert noted that speed
was necessary to get the bases
ready in time.
Base design plans had to be
changed repeatedly, and costs
rose as change was piled on
change, Mr.. Gerrity said.
Mr.. Gerrity and Mr.. zuckert
listed the steel strike and
strikes at missile base sites as
other factors in the cost rise,

He chose selections from
