THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
McCarran Communistic Act
Not Needed Says Foster
"The same type of mentality
that advocated changing the name
of the Japanese current during
the last war is responsible for
the McCarran act."
Thus, Henry Foster, of the Uni
versity law college, expressed his
views on the controversial legis
lation to campus coeds at a
YWCA All-Membership meeting
Wednesday evening.
Foster emphasized that he
could not present an objective
view of the bill, because of his
personal beliefs, but would at
tempt to inform his audience of
the aspects and results of the new
act
The law professor said that ad
vocates of the McCarran act are
representing an authoritarian type
of government as opposed to a
democratic type.
The difference between the
two forms of government, he
said,' was that the former type
of person can't tolerate dissen-

job who is a communist or has
anything to do with the activi
ties of a communist-front organ
ization. 5. Denial of passports to 'com
munists or members of any communist-front
organizations. The
bill also makes it a crime for a
communist to apply for a re
newal of a passport.
6. Denial of tax reductions or
exemptions to communists or
members of a communist-front
organization.
7. All printed material in the
U.S. mails must be marked on
the outside of the envelope that
it is mailed by a communist or
from a communist-front organ
ization. (This also includes radio
broadcasts.)
Foster emphasized that he is
in favor of required registration
for all propaganda groups, of
prosecution for anyone divulging
secret information and of legal

"Okay, let's go!"
These three short words are the
only prompters needed to start
each evening's rehearsal of "Cae
sar and Cleopatra," George Ber
nard Shaw's comedy portrait of
two immortal charatcers which
will be presented March 13, 14
and 15 by the University theater.
In these three effective words,
uttered by the play's director,
Dallas Williams, is shown the re
markable authority but cool per
serverence a director must have
to put out a good play. And "Cae
sar and Cleopatra" is an unusual
ly good play, resulting from ex
ceptionally good directing.
Remarkable Punch Lines
Jack Wenstrand brings forth
some remarkable punch lines in
his portrayal of a jaunty, quick
witted Caesar, who is kind and
good-hearted, but with a core of
steel that makes no compromise
for convenience.
In one scene, Caesar tries to
collect taxes from the Egyptians.
When the king's counselor's re
port that the treasury is low, the
"hero worshipped" Caesar comes
out with, "Yes. I noticed there
was but one chair in here."
In another scene, the disarming
Cleopatra charms Caesar with her
"little girl" mannerisms and tells
him she will kill all her other
lovers, but will always love him.
Caesar's side comment of "Oh, my
wrinkles and my child's heart," is
said with the right amount of
voice inflection to give the audi
ence a gleam of the wit that
winks in and out of the entire
play.
True Actress
Sharon Fritzler shows talent
and training in her role of "Cleo
patra." She proves herself a true
actress not so much in her
speeches, but in her excellent fa
cial expressions. Even when she
is not in the limelight, she acts
every spoken word.
George Bernard Shaw does not
create Cleopatra as the historically-known
seducer, but as a dis
arming little girl who learns

OfAWS Organization
The A. W. S. board is celebrat
ing its 20th anniversary this year
on the University campus.
This board, a branch of the
Inter-Collegiate Associated
Women Students organization,
was set up in 1931, with the idea
of giving coeds the responsibility
of governing women students.
Board Functions
Since that time, the functions
of the board have grown in size
and number, but its primary pur-

For approximately three weeks,
hours have been spent each eve
ning, including every week-end
night, in rehearsals. Lighting and
costuming have been used consis
tently throughout rehearsal to get
the players in the mood for the
play. Recognition should be given
to the sound and stage crew who
are constantly alert to their re
sponsibilities. The scenery, constructed by the
scenery crew of Mary Gaile Sig
ler, under the direction of Wil
liam W. Ellis, shows detail and
gives a remarkably real effect.

Disabled Vets
Advised by VA
Disabled veterans will not
come under the July 25, 1951
starting deadline for veterans who
intend to initiate or resume
training under the G. I. bill.
Ashley Westmoreland, Lincoln
VA regional office manager, ex
plained this today. He said his
office was receiving a number
of inquiries from disabled veter
ans who thought they had to be
gin training by the deadline,
which applies only to GI bill
trainees.
The only factor distabled veter
ans need to bear in mind, West
moreland said, is that they must
begin training in time to com

when both the GI bill and Pub

Another Egyptian statesman,
Achillas, is played by Don Lewis.
The cast also includes Kenneth
Clements, Wes ' Jensby, Louis
Meyers, Dick Freck, Charles Ros

human play about ordinary peo
ple with moral vanities and a
mortal illusions. Its charming and
plausible characters show an
earnestness behind their jaunti

affairs, where knowledge is
shown of the political value of
clemency and the political blun
