'Kind Sir' Well
Presented Here
By U. Of O. Cast
By LAURA OLSON
Staff Writer, Nows-Rovlew
A three-act comedy by Norman
Krasna, oftimes short on comedy,
was presented Tuesday evening
in Roseburg as a bonus attrac
tion in the Kiwanis Summer Thea
ter series.
Six brave University of Oregon
players stuck with their lines,
which dragged dismally during the
first act, to finally come up with
a performance they can be proud
of.
Krasna's simple plot concerns a
"famed" stage star, Jane Kim
ball (Helen Adams) and the man
ner in which she eventually cap
tivates the heart of a state de
partment emplovee, Philip Clair
(Mark Tapscott). Sprinkled
throughout the play are some gen
uinely funny moments provided,
mainly, by Miss Kimball's sister,
Margaret Munson (Ula Mae Hos
teller). Clair, It seems, has never mar.
ried and circumvents any roman
tic involvements by telling the la
dies he is separated from a (bon
us) wife and can never get a di
vorce. He falls from this safe oed
estal at the feet of Miss Kimball.
but not before both parties en
gage in several ruses.
Others in the cast are Donna
Barrick and Winston Rust, cast as
Swedish husband and wife serv
ants of Miss Kimball. Both worked
easilv in Swedish dialogue and
heartilv elinvened the third act.
Mrs. Munson's husband Alfred
(Irle White), a senior member of
the state department, was aptly
cast.
The stars. Miss Adams and Tap
scott, used well the material pro
vided. Ai'ss Adams exuded the
feeling of a sometimes fluttery,
ever-acting actress. Tapscott. a
personable and handsome indivi
dual, amnly filled his role.
The UO players were hampered
In having to present "Kind Sir"
on a regular sta?e, rather than in
an arena as in Eugene. On an ex
tended stage in Central Junior
High School auditorium before 250
thev manaed this feal.
"Kind Sir" was directed bv
Frederick J. Hunter. Technical di
rector was Horace W. Robinson.
New Building To Rise
For Industrial Supply
A new concrete building on the
Airport Road later this year will
house Industrial Supply Co., now
located at 132 S. Stephens.
Rex Roberts, spokesman for the
company, reports the new quart
ers will have about 17,000 square
feet of floor space. The present
store has about a third that ca
pacity. This will be one of the biggest
buildings to be raised in the Rose
burg area with tilt-up construc
tion, in which panels are poured
in forms on the floor and then
raised into position.
Industrial Supply Co. has opei
aled in Roseburg since 1945. and
has been directed by its present
ownership since 1940. Roberts is
chief stockholder. The company
handles maintenance and supply
items for the logging industry.
Mother's Plea For Lone
Rap To Save Son Fails
MIAMi, Fla. HI A Brooklyn
mother failed to convince a judge
that she alone should be punished
instead of her 17-year-old son who
shot a policeman, and both faced
10-year-pnson sentences.
Mrs. Antoinette Lutz. 45. Tues
day pleaded that the son Frank
was "a good boy and it (the shoot
ing) was all my fault.
Young Lutz actually milled the
trigger when policeman L. E. An
derson was wounded by three shots
in the back March 21 after he tried
to question the boy and his mother
about a bad check thev had passed.
They had arrived here only a few
davs earlier from Brooklyn.
In ruling that both the mother
and son were equally guilty, Judge
Ben C. Willard told the boy:
"I would have a lot more re
spect for you if you hadn't been
willing to let your mother take the
responsibility for your vicious ac
tion.
Sheppard Loses Final
Round To Escape Prison
CLEVELAND w Nearly a year
after he was arrested, it appeared
today Dr. Samuel II. Sheppard
soon will start serving a life peni
tentiary term for the bludgeon
slaving of his pregnant wife.
An Appellale Court Tuesday
turned down his second and final
motion for a new trial, and one of
the attoneys savs the voung osteo
path feels he would get more exer
cise and privileges in prison than
he does in county jail.
The motion denied Tuesday was
based largelv on a criminologv
professor's affidavit that he found
evidence a left-handed sex fiend
killed Marilyn Sheppard July 4,
IBM. Sheppard is right-handed.
But the 41-osge opinion of the
three-judge court discounted the
affidavit with such descriptions as
"highlv speculative and falls,
cious." "Guess work" and "sheer
supposition." .

Top Penalty 15,000
The indictment, containing four
counts, charges the union violated
a section of the act which prohibits
banks, corporations and labor or
ganizations from using general
funds for political purposes.
A maximum penalty of $5,000 is
provided in event of conviction on
any of the counts.
At te time the grand Jury in
vestigation began, and since, offi
cers of the UAW charged Repub
licans were attempting to interfere
with the franchise of working peo
ple. Emit Mazey, UAW secretary
treasurer, said the investigation
was inspired by Feikens and Post
master General Arthur Summer
field. Summerfield is a Michigan
man.
The union, after the indictment
was handed down, issued a state
ment denying it had acted wrongly
and welcoming "this opportunity to
test the validity and scope of this
law."
Mazey, a witness before the
grand jury, said at the time of
charges and counter-charges over
the investigation that union mem
bers contributed $5,000 to McNa
mara's campaign but that all of
it was given voluntarily, and none
was dues money,
Harold A. Cranefield, general
counsel for the UAW, said the un

was grateful to Eisenhower for
his statement.
The Soviet Premier said he
knew the President as a great war
leader and architect ot Allied vic
tory and he believed in the Presi
dent's sincerity. Nevertheless, he
expressed reservations as to the
oetensive character of IMA 10 and
demanded West Germany's with
drawal as a precondition for Ger
man unification.
The Soviet position dashed I'm
gering hopes that Russia might
come up witn a surprise new po
sition on Germany. Bulganin also
made remarks on British Prime
Minister Eden's European security
proposals which discouraged some
western officials.
Outlook Discouraging
I he security item, next after
Germany on the four-point con
ference agenda, adopted Tuesday
was one on which Russia had laid
great stress before the leaders
gathered. Bulganin spoke at length
on it in his opening statement Mon
day.
Yesterday, however, he brushed
aside Eden's proposal for a mutual
security pact of the Big Four and
united uermany as unwar
ranted." 'The Soviet Union," he reported
ly said, "does not depend on the
guarantees of others such as those
proposed. Such guarantees, he
added, were "comprehensible for
weak states which were not in a
position to defend themselves, but
unwarranted in the case of strong
powers.
Eden defended his proposal, but
Russia's attitude left no doubt that
the Western Powers would run into
trouble on the security issue just as
they had on Germany. One high
Western source said the day's de
velopments "were not encourag
ing." Drilling Equipment Due
