Cold Weather Fails
To Cut Attendance
By HAL COHEN
Staff Writer
The second Laboratory Theatre
production. "Miss Julie." by Au
gust Strindberg, opened Thurs
day night to an interested audi-
ence, in the Arena Theatre. The
unpleasant cold weather outside
did not prevent an attendance of
a near full house from admiring
the three performers in the cast.
"Miss Julie" plays again Friday
for a second and final perform
ance. Here is your opportunity to
see Strindberg's genius at work.
And here is your chance to see
the sweet and charming Lynne
Morgan in the title role; the
suave, worldly Jack Babcock as
the valet, John, who is seduced

'The State Of Asia
: Questioned By Report
The Americanism Commission
nf the state American Leeion. to
whom the investigating of the
text books used in classes at the
University has been given, has
submitted a report urging the
noara oi negems iu utuut nai
policy on the selection and use of
"suspect" books.
The Legion report classed as
a "suspect" book, "The State of
Asia," because of Its endorse
ment by the Institute of Pacific
Relations, and because of Its
editor, Lawrence K. Rosinger,
who refused to testify whether
or not he was a member of the
Communist party, and because
of one of its authors, Dr. Owen
Lattlmore, who recently was
Indicted by a Federal Grand
Jury for perjuring his testimony
before the congressional in
vestigating committees. '
The committee, which has taken
over the investigation from the
committee headed by Mrs. Mary
ellen Lorton of the American Le
firm Pnet No. 3. said they be
lieved that the members of the
Board of Regents were "outstand
ina ?jhrnKkans and eood citi
zens." They went on to say that
nv American or American group
has the right and, under some
circumstances, the aDsoime uuu
to question the type of Instruction
and nature of textbooks used in
public schools supported by pub
lic money.
Tha rvimmlKKlon report was
signed by Chairman Joseph B
poueriricro state Legion Com
mander Warren Wood said he has
endorsed the Commission report
and felt it expressed the views of
all Legion members. Attorney
Joe Vinardi, commander of the
rmcVio Pnet No. l. and the rnan
who originally made the charge
about '.'The State or Asia,
member of the committee.
Robert W. Devoe, Lincoln at
torney and Regents member,
declined to comment on the re
port. If the Regents receive a
copy of the Legion statement
and the board Is asked to take
some action, then the board
would probably meet and con
alder the Legion's request, be
said.

swander as Christine, the cook.
Under Al Hazelwood's direction,
the actors are kept moving at a
lively pace. Perhaps at a tempo
too quick to allow the audience
to taste the flavor of Strindberg's
playwriting. With the slight ex
ception of Miss Neuenswander,
Miss Morgan and Babcock seem
to want to rush through their
long expository speeches. Fast,
snappy and large turns broke
up these long speeches. Slower
and smaller turns and crosses
would be more helpful in focus
ine the audience's attention on
the play itself rather than on the
physical movements of the actor.
But Hazlewood's direction of the
play was consistent and thought
ful.
I liked Miss Neuenswander
when she really let herself go in
the final scenes of the playy In
fart, from the part where Bab
cock kills the bird (done very
well indeed), all the actors were
endowed with a force and passion
which kept the audience in a state
of nervous concern about Miss
Julie.
Extremely effective music
greatly assisted the emotional im
pact of the play. And I think a
note of thanks ought to go to

Red Plot Cracked In Vienna
WASHINGTON The United States has accused a Soviet em
bassy official of masterminding a trans-Atlantic spy plot against
U.S. military secrets. Two Americans studying in Vienna were in
dicted as his agents.
Sources In Vienna said a third American had been arrested
and that others probably would be picked up at least for question
ing In the final smashing of an international Soviet spy ring.
The State Department demanded immediate recall of Yuri V.
Novlkov, second secretary of the Washington embassy accused of
directing the ring. The three arrested in Vienna were put aboard
a plane and are enroule to Washington to stand trial
The Americans were Otto Verber, Kurt L. Ponger and Walter
Lauber. The indictment charges that Verber and Ponger botb
naturalized citizens conspired with Novlkov to gather "documents,
writings, sketches, plans, maps, notes" relating to national defense
for delivery to the Russians. The espionage statute carries a pas
sible death penalty.
British Arrest Nazis In Bonn
BONN GERMANY Six former high-ranking Nazis were ar
rested by British authorities under the charge of plotting to over

The charge Indicated they received aid from East German
Reds or even Moscow. Two of the men were named In Hitler's
will as "heirs" to the high posts In the German Reich.
German sources said the groups also was believed to have ac
