|nMurch ofDimes Disease Battle
A small, yellow envelope

A small, yellow envelope
serving as a harbinger of
an expanding war on Grip
pling disease arrives in the
mailboxes of 40 million
American families this week.
It brings the mailer" of the
1862 March of Dimes, now ded-
icated to seeking the answers
to birth defects and arthritis
while continuing its work in
polio. Printed on each envelope
is the confident prophecy,
"Your Dimes Will Do It Again!"
Addressed by tens of thou
sands of volunteers in the
county chapters of The Ma
tional Foundation March of
Dimes across the nation, this
symbol of scientific research
and total medical care for the
victims of these diseases prom
ises immediate help and future
hope through the generosity of
the American people.
The prediction on the mailer,
"Your Dimes VIII Do 1t Againw
is a reference, of course, to
development of the Salk anti
polio vaccine and to the later
Sabin oral vaccine. Both were
made possible, as were the
medical care and rehabilitation
of many of those paralyzed by
polio, by public contributions
to the March of Dimes. Many
millions of the dollars so well
used to bring about these ac-
complishments came to local
chapters through similar mail
ers in years past.
Recipients of these mailers,
including those in distant Ha-
waii and Alaska, were urged
by March of Dimes leaders this
week to return the mailers to
local chapters as promptly as
possible.
AS one chapter chairman
said: aside from financial out
lays needed urgently for re-
search and for total medical
care of victims, The National
Foundation March Of Dimes
must expand its already exist
ing national network of chap
ter-supported clinics helping
those stricken by birth defects
or by arthritis.

of the appalling magnitude of

Questions And Answers
Of Interest To Veterans

Q-HOW many veterans are still in
schools and colleges under G1
education and training pro-
grams? Is this program still
open to World War II veterans
A-There were about 135,000 vet
Grams still in educational pro-
grams under the Korea CT Bill
as of October 81, 1861. This
program has ended for World
War ii veterans.
Q-I understand that pensions are
paid to some Indian War"
veterans. Does this go back to
Colonial days?
A-The Indian Wars concerned in
the administration of veterans
pensions are those subsequent
to 1860 and before 1898: briefly
those Indian troubles concern
ed with the opening up of the
West and Far West. About 160,-
900 troops participated in these
encounters at various times and
about 900 died as the result of
combat. There are still 29 vet
Grams of these Indian Wars liv-
ing today
Q-Is government life insurance
still available to the young
men entering service today?
a-GI life insurance is not being
issued today.
Q-Why do statistics show more
Korean Conflict veterans each
month and less veterans of all
other wars?
people are still be-
coming veterans-that is, leav-
ing active service and a great
number of them served in the
Korean Conflict. (If they serv-
ed in World War II also they
are considered Korea veterans
for benefit purposes.) They are
not considered veterans until
they leave military service

must prevent.

We mean precisely that. Some
folks believed that the answer
to polio would never be found.

But our scientists never aban-
doned hope and, because of
March of Dimes contributions
from those who believed as we
did, the answer was found.
Tens of thousands of lives have
been saved since then, and tens
of thousands saved from Grip
pling.
None Of us, scientists in
cluded, knows when the an
swers will be found to birth
defects and arthritis. We just
know, as we knew with con-
fidence before the Salk vaccine,
that those answers will be
found provided sufficient pub
lie support is forthcoming"

A Earring Note

This, in 1862. is the widest
sort Of fantasy. Since all that
transpires before and after
it is more or less realistic, it
can't be accepted as fantasy
for fun. It's Just an un-
believable scene that strikes
a terribly jarring note.
Mr.. President" also shows
up Mr.. Lindsay and Mr..
Grouse as satirists who can
fire away at the external re-
suits of politics. but who
haven't made much of a
study Of politics itself. There
Is no other explanation Of
the device they employ to
wind this thing up and get
the final curtain down.
Mr.. Ryan's man has been
out of office for awhile
and is beginning to paw the
ground and snort at the in
office opposition's moves. He
is eager to return to the po-
htical wars in Washington.
Opportunity to do so comes
up when a Senator dies and
the Governor comes around
to offer the former President
the appointment to fill out
the term.

BY HARRY MacARTHUR
Star SIaff Writer

Star staff Writer
There probably never was
q show with such a bright
future after such a unani-
nous critical drubbing as
'Mr. President"
1t opened in Boston, was
trounced by the professional
theatergoers. then did four
weeks Of sellout business. It
opened here at the National
this week, met with unani-
nous critical disfavor and
win do three weeks (minus q
day. Of sellout business.
From here it viii go on to
New York and 1t seems safe
to predict that the same
thing win happen. The ad-
vance sale there last was re-
ported nearing the So million
mark and those who know
about such things say this
means it can't help running
at least a year.
You can be sure that those
who have been forced pro-
fessionally to register disap-
proval of "Mr. President" will
not begrudge it an iota of its
success. There is no Joy in
letting Nanette Fabray and
Robert Ryan, who play the
leading roles so engagingly,
know that their winning per-
formances are somewhat
futile.
Times Have Changed
There is no Joy, either, in
pointing out to such respected
old pros as Irving Berlin,
Howard Lindsay and Russell
Grouse that times have
changed. The major short
coming of Mr.. President" is
that this is 1862.
The last joint project Of
Mr.. Berlin. Mr.. Lindsay and
Mr.. Grouse was "Call Me
Madam" which opened in Oc-
tober, 1850. In the dozen
years since the nature of the
American musical comedy
has changed considerably.
This process started with
pal joey" was given great
impetus by "Oklahoma!" and
arrived at "West Side Story"
before q line of Mr.. Presi-
dent" was on paper.
It's Old Fashioned
Our entire environment, in
fact. has changed drastically
in the last dozen years. The
effect Of all of this is to make
Mr.. President" seem terribly
old fashioned. Pleasant,
harmless and old fashioned.
This is more evident in the
book than in the music. The
score sounds exactly as II it
had been written by Irving
Berlin, which is as it should
be. His lyrics are marked by
q certain naivete that is no
longer rs widely shared as it
once was, but he has never
come around claiming to be
Cole Porter or Larry Hart
or Alan Jay Lerner.
It is a bit surprising,
though, to be confronted with
this evidence that Mr.. Lind
say and Mr.. Grouse appar-
emily have not been aware
Of what has been happening
to the musical. Realism is
one Of the important things
that has happened to 1t. The
time is gone when you can
do anything in q musical
show book on the grounds
that making sense is not re-
quired in this particular area
OF literary endeavor.
But This Is Realism
You can use the zany,
free-wheeling, anything for
a-laugh approach, of course,
II 1t Is used consistently from
