Aumont finds his twin
skills as player and play

NEW YORK. After q
lengthy reflection, Jean
Pierre Aumont has reached
q rueful verdict about his
theatrical colleagues.
Actors" laments the
French star, "are too intelli-
gent today"
Not that they're really re-
sponsible for this state Of
affairs, he adds. They are
pawns Of chronological prog
ress.
"TV and movies have
helped dissipate the profess
sion's mystery and glamor,
and so the player has had to
become a responsible citizen,
more and more like everyone
else"
With a good-natured sigh,
Aumont asserts II don't
think an actor should have
to understand too much" He
cites ironic proof.
Words, Just Words
Some Of the greatest re-
views I ever got was for my
first English language role

cally without the vaguest
idea Of what I was saying"

the lighter side

London this week by John Tay-
lor. editor of a fashion and psy-
chotherapeutic periodical called
Tailor and Cutter.
Doesn't Wear Hat
Taylor observed that when
President Kennedy was travel
ling about Great Britain, he held
his hat in his hand. He conclud-
ed from this that the us. Chief
Executive did not like to wear a
hat.
AS it happens, he was right, al
though he might just as logically
have assumed that the President
was hoping someone would put
something in the hat-like may
be the head of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle.
Anyway, Taylor advanced the
theory that President Kennedy
and other men of his age group
instinctively reject head cover
ings because of a childhood in
nuence upon their lids.
AS lads, he explained, they saw
their fathers wearing hats. Thus
hats became associated in their
subconsciouS with middle age.
And middle age is something
they would like to avoid, if pos
sible.
Father Hostility
What Taylor seemed to be say
ing is that bareheadness is a
part of the familiar Oedipus COM
plex, or father hostility. I can't
tell you tow relieved I was
when / read his hypothesis.
/ had been under the illusion
that I didn't like to wear hats
because they made my hair
sweat.
I am grateful TO Taylor for
clearing that up and for putting
the blame for my hatlessness
where it properly belongs-on my
father.
don't suppose my old man was
aware that he was disturbing my
psyche when he wore a hat in
my presence. but that does not
exclude him from the response
bility for my present condition.
Now that we all understand the
origin of fedoraphobia- thai

been dragged from the dark re-
ceSses of our subconscious into

WASHINGTON CUPID - One
of the truly marvellous develop
ments of our times has been the
growing ability of the average
layman to indulge in the practice
of pSychiatry.
A person would be a fool to
spend money for consultations
with a professional psychiatrist
when he can get essentially the
same service entirely gratis from
the editor of a fashion magazine.
So if you are man in the
$3.50 age bracket, and if you
don't like to wear a hat, stop
worrying about it. It's not your
fault.
A Freudian explanation for
your behavior was set forth in

that since American wars were
fought by white Christians. all
Jewish males should be recruited
and forcibly sent to the Middle
East to fight the Arabs in event
Of an Israeli-U.A.R. war.
Saks commented that h te
mail, regardless against whom
directed. cannot be stemmed be-
cause no laws exist against group
libel. He suggested that passage
of such laws would inhibit free
expression and in the long run
be very dangerous.

Then we should write our con-
gressmen demanding a govern
ment-financed research program

Service Commission covering the employment rights
of 7O-year-old employee. The commission says he
can't demand the employees resignation on the
ground of age. Previously the Attorney General had
ruled that the burden of proof on the Highway
Commissioner to whether the employee was cap
able Of doing his work.
Thus the two state agencies whose function it is
to rule such matters have ruled, and Marshall
says he won't accept them. Who is Marshall? Is he
part of the state government an independent
potentate unrelated to other state functions and
sponsibe to nobody?
When he appeals the ruling, who will represent
him in court? viii he be his own lawyer? viii he
expect legal services from the Attorney Generals
office, which has already determined that he Is on
the wrong side of the law in this and which
would presumably be obligated to represent the Civil
Service Commission? Or will he use highway funds
to set competing legal staff in the state govern
ment-a step, by the way, for which he probably
lacks legal authority?
The questions illustrate how preposterous is the
highway commissioners position.

Editor: To Mr.. Jerry Robins:
You wrote an open letter to the
citizens of st. Paul, which was
printed on the front page Of the
Sept. 10, Spokesman-Recorder. But
your appeal fell on deaf ears.
Instead of appealing to others
for leadership and action, why
don't you, as the head of a union,
tell us what should be done TO
solve the unemployment and ghetto
conditions which are breeding re-
sentiment and Illustration among
our Negro youth in St. Paul?
What about a permanent play
ground for the short hill area, and
a library within easy walking dist
ance for our children who can't
study at home after supper?
Do our civil rights groups have
any long-range program for jobs
and low-cost housing?
Is there an adequate program of
settlement and guidance for the
many, many Negroes who are NOV
ing into st. Paul from the poor
areas of the South?
I am afraid the truth is sad. We
don't get any progress reports be-
cause the problems in st. Paul are
growing faster than any action is
being taken TO solve them.
We don't have leaders who know
the steps to achieve Freedom now.
