Kva UeOialllanue and Florida

and “Through the Looking Class"
Into t tie preaent Hinge production.
On the whole their adaption wan
MuceeHHful, though loone conatruc
tion of the first of the two acts
makes It far leas pleasant than
the last act.
The first act appears to have
little story line just a group of
charming, disconnected scenes,
somewhat reminiscent of the
Kngllsh Music Hall. Carroll's
wonderful lines are Intact but
there is little continuity from
scene to scene The last act Is
much lighter, hence much livelier.
Mediocre Music
Cndoubtedly the worst draw
back of this production Is Kich

have been for thebest.
The cast, costumes, settings,
and director overcame the banal

took a place of secondary impor
tance.
Cast Accomplishments

Just a few highlights, and this is
Bride, 2 Others,
Die in Cor Crash
KRLSO, Wash. A bride of
three hours and two aircraft
workers from Seattle were killed
when two earn collided head-on

The bridegroom, Paul Robert
Heller. 22. of Portland was re
ported in fair condition at a
Longview hospital. When he was
picked up at the scene of the
wreck, he still had wedding
shower rice in his pockets and
the wedding boutonniere in his
lapel.
He and Janice Levitt were mar
ried in a Portland church cere
mony at H p.m. and were north
'witind on their honeymoon.
The State Patrol said the tears

Sound and Canadian cities.
The patrol said evidence indi
cated the car in which Taggart

stage at all timea. Ann Carr in
thin role waa a fortunate choice.
In long blond wig, blue drew*

Mock Turtle ‘Delightful’
Jerry Holloway as the Mock
Turtle waa delightful in his ren
dition of the touching ballad,
"Beautiful Soup." Tweedledum
and "Tweedledee, portrayed by
William Hallock and Thomas
Lewis were on good. So too was
the White Knight portrayed by
Joe Canaga and his wonderful
horse played by Dave Lortie and
Ben Dorris, head and tail respec
tively.
This appraising could go on and
on and on, but there are others
than the cast that made the pro
duction so successful.
Director LeRov W. Hinze should
be patted on the back for bring
ing this production to the Uni
versity. Irle White's settings were
outstanding as were Sara Skin
ner's costumes The technical
staff too must receive a large
share of the credit for the success
of the play. What with twenty
scenes, growing and reducing
doors, tables, and grins, etc., they
had their hands more than full.
They certainly did themselves
proud.

Supreme Court Rules for Lawyer
rUKTLANL) I/O — Supported
by a recent favorable US. Su
preme Court decision, Frank V.
Patterson, 40, former Commun
ist party member, says he “sees
no reason” why he should not
now be permitted to practice I
law in Oregon.
Patterson, a graduate of the
University of Washington and
the Northwestern College of
Law here, was denied admission
to the Oregon bar by the state
Surpeme Court. The court held
his moral character was not
good, basing this on his state
ment that he once was a Com
j rnunist and while a party mem
ber saw no evidence the party S
advocated violent overthrow of1
the government.
Reconsideration Asked
The U.S. Supreme Court or
dered the state court to recon
sider its ruling. The American
Civil Liberties Union took the
case to the country’s highest
court, contending that Patterson
had been denied due process of
law.

PATRONAGE REFUND
Dr. Judah Bierman, chairman
of the American Civil Liberties
Union of Oregon, said “The
United States Supreme Court
has now established that an ap
plicant’s former membership in
the Communist party does not
justify an inference that he lacks
good moral character. It has
confirmed the position . . . that
an applicant cannot be denied
admission to the bar by a pre
sumption that he must have be
lieved in, known of, or engaged
in unlawful activities merely be
cause he was a former member
of the Communist party."
Ex-Union Organizer
Patterson, a former labor un
ion organizer now employed by
a Portland wholesale firm, said
he assumed the Civil Liberties
Union and his attorneys would
press the matter of his admis
sion if necessary.
He passed the written examin
ation for admission to the bar
with a high score in 1953. Pat
terson said he was expelled from
the Communist party in 1949.
