NOMINEES MEMO
ASKS AID CHANGES

BY North American Newspaper Alliance
Chester Bowles has written
a special memorandum calling
for an overhaul of American
aid machinery in rural coun-
tries to end waste and disap-
pointment."
The memo, circulating within
the administration. Is strik-
ingly akin to another Bowles
memo last year which proposed
new priorities for United States
foreign aid and led to the gen.
eral revamping Of assistance
programs by President Ken
nedy.
CuriouSly, the latest BowleS
memo cited India as one of the
countries In which the United
States should change its pres
ent "haphazard approach"
Mr.. Bowles wants each coun-
try receiving American aid to
set up a central administrative
channel called a rural devel-
opment commission" reach
ing from the various ministries
in the national government
through the provincial govern
ments and to the villages.

OF his highly successful pre-
vious mission to that country
some years ago."
"Mr. Bowles Is uniquely
equipped to report and inter-
pref Indian developments to
the President at a particularly
difficult time when Communist
China's militancy has intro
duced a major new factor into
the situation he said.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-04-07

Mr.. Bowles is a former IN
dersecretary of State who has
been serving since December,
1861, as Mr.. Kennedy's special
adviser on African, Asian and
Latin American affairs.
In announcing his intention
to appoint Mr.. Bowles, the
President said no American
has a deeper understanding Of
India and Asia.
BOwIes Called Energetic
"A decade ago he was a pio-
neer in creating bonds Of I'M
Outstanding between India and
the United States" said the
President. To-day, India is en-
gagged in a difficult, long term
struggle to preserve its indie
pendence and its democratic
institutions.
IT am, therefore, delighted
that Mr.. Bowles is willing to
undertake this assignment. He
has been a devoted, articulate,
energetic public servant at
home and abroad for 20 years
/. ..
In a varied public career
Mr.. Bowles has been Governor
of Connecticut, Federal Price
Administrator under President
Franklin d. Roosevelt, director
Of Economic Sterilization un-
der President Truman, a special
assistant to the Secretary Gen.
eral of the United Nations and
a Congressman from Connec-

that crude In meeting them. He
is almost unconcerned with
being misunderstood so long as
he finds no overt interference
with his theories Of rearing a
son at least more or less In his
own image.
As the wife and mother, Miss
Simmons is asked to deal with
the much more complex Of the
major characters of Gan The
Way Home" It is this perhaps
that make her performance the
basic flaw In the drama of the
screenplay. Its emotionalism
suggests the misconception that
she, not the small boy, Is the
centrally poignant figure of
Ages narrative.
Otherwise, the balance is the
one Agee so viSibly intends,
especially in the case of Aline
MacMahon as the wife's aunt, a
woman whose strength and low
ing sympathy are equally I'M
wavering. Next to Miss Mac
Mahon'S and Preston's the out
standing performance is that of
Pat Hingle as the weak, SWIVEL
ing undertaken brother Of Pres
ton. Young Michael Kearney is
affecting as the boy, Rufus.
Between these and the lesser
performers, the point is not lost
in "All The Way Home" that
Agee was an enormously gifted
writer who could write as well
for the screen as he could write
about it as a critic.

called, "a Death in the Fami-
ly;;" as a play, "All the Way
Home"
It is as the latter that it
comes to the screen where it re-
mains a work Of striking quality
with Robert Preston and Jean
Simmons, and Pat Hingle as its
stars. That It fails to achieve
the same depths of poignance,
or indeed the general impact
upon the emotions of the Origi-
mails is the fault of the medium
on which Agee lavished his af-
lection and critical talent.
AS movie, a better than av-
erage one, "All The Way
Home" simply moves more hor-
izontally than vertically. This
was the very flaw which Agee,
as a film critic, rued more than
any other. One may conjecture,
however, that in this particular
effort, he wrote better against
this defect of the camera than
most authors.
"All The Way Home" on film
retains sufficient of its sadness
sweetness, and simplicity to
touch the heart.
Its theme is that Of the orig
inal, the effect of a death in
the family. It is a southern
family, Of Agee'S native Tennes-
see, up from the land and drudg-
cry into urban middle-classneSs.
Its pin-pointed figure is a small,
tow-headed boy named Rufus.
He is an only child, the innocent
source of friction between his
parents.
Rufus father is an earthly
type, committed to the manly
theory Of rearing boys. His
mother, dainty and sensitive,
has her grave reservations
about this method. The conflict
between them is restrained,
however, and quickly becomes
a poignant, merely academic
echo when the father is killed in
a pointleSs gesture of loyalty
and duty to his hardy peasant
kinfolk. /
AS his screen adapter, Philip
Reisman, jr., pays his tribute to
the subjectivity Of Author Agee.
His script is replete with those
small details Of family life
which are so big with meaning.
They are all here, the abrasive
ones and the amusing ones,
adding up to the mystifying
world of adults in the bewild-
cred vision of a lonely little
boy.

As an equally keen and I'M
derstanding observer of human

disappears from little Rufus Sc
