A TRIBUTE TO
THE FUTURE FARMERS
OF AMERICA!
" Youngsters just reaching life's first dawn of ma
turity, here and throughout the entire length and
breadth of our beloved land, are dedicating them
selves to being guardians of the good earth. In
. homespun words, they are going to be farmers.
Mother Nature will be their sponsor and mentor.
The lucky old sun and the gentle wind and the
- rain and snow will conspire with them to prepare
- ;. the tender soil and germinate the tiny seeds into
sturdy, fruitful plants and trees. Of all the things
that -Man can do under the canopy of heaven, -none
is more richly 'satisfying or productive than
tilling the soil and tending flocks and herds. How
" fortunate these teen-agers are! How wise! We
salute their grand organization wifh genuine pride
.. and say "God bless you all;. you shall inherit the
earth!"

The Tempest' Opens
12th Shakespearean
Event; Play
"The Tempest" is gaudy, fan
ciful, funny, romantic. -It
is gorgeously costumed, di
rected with understanding and
humor, and is presented by a
cast that is largely both adept
and dedicated.
Friday night's presentation at
Ashland, which opened the 12th
annual Oregon Shakespearean
festival, could be termed, if not
a brilliant, at least a highly en
tertaining and auspicious occa
sion. -
The audience was one of the
largest ever to attend a festival
play. It was an appreciative
group, and was obviously im
bued with the warmth with
which Shakespearean devotees
nave come 10 regara me iivai.
Who, indeed, can be left com
pletely untouched by the magic
of the festival? Who can be un
moved by the thousands upon
thousands of devoted hours of
work given to its success?
Warm. Friendly Atmosphere
The setting adds greatly to
this atmosphere of warmth and
friendliness and unity of pur
pose which pervades the theater
These go far to make up for
whatever small deficiencies may
be inevitable in the excitement
and stress of opening night.
The play itself, "The Temp
est,"' is lightweight stuff, and
makes no pretense of being any
thing else. It is a fantastic
framework on which Shakes
peare hung his songs and
speeches, his imaginative flights
of magic and fancy and never
never caperings.
The story, briefly, is of the
Duke of Milan, thrust from his
dukedom by an unscrupulous

Praised
brother." The duke, a bookish
sort, raises his daughter - Mir
anda, amidst the magic he has
taught himself, and amidst, the
fairies' and' creatures of the
mind which the duke calls forth
from the upper air.
Vengeance on Enemies -
A wedding voyage brings to
the duke . Prospero the
chance to bring his enemies to
vengeance on the island, and the
tempest from which the play is
named wrecks their vessel, and
they are . cast ashore to -Pros-pero's
mercy.. .
These victims Prospero's
scheming brother, the king of
Naples who had a part in depos
ing Prospero, the king's eligible
son Ferdinand, and other lesser
folk are made pawns of Pros
pero's magic, until in the end
Ferdinand and Miranda are to
be Wed, and Prospero restored
to his throne.
This slight' framework,' then,
is fleshed and colored by action
and direction and lighting and
costuming and song and humor.
The play has no one star, but
in the large cast are many lumi
naries. Perhaps the brightest
was Bill Ball who played Ariel,
"an airy spirit" and a thing of
light and color and movement.
Ball " danced and flashed (liter
ally, aided by effective make-up)
through the role with' ease and
assurance. Shakespeare himself
could have asked no better.
Eight Given Mention
The cast as a whole was bet
ter far better than "ade
quate," which is a nasty word to
actors. While . all were good,
there were eight who well-earned
special mention. :
Ball as Ariel was splendid in
the widest sense of that word.
H. Paul Kliss, as Prospero,
demonstrated his uncanny abil
ity to project himself, his voice
and his personality; to the last'
row of : the audience without
seeming to try.
Michael Onofrio, playing the
aged and honest counselor, Gon
zalo, had . completa mastery of
the role, a faintly ludicrous
though partly serious one some
what reminiscent of Polonius in
"Hamlet." To say he was "good"
does not do full justice to the
subtle touches he applied to the
part.
Caliban, the "savage and de
formed slave," wearing costume
and make-up which matched ex
actly the role's demands, was
done by Douglas Meeker. The
stupid,- drunken, evil character,
pitiful but repulsive, was con
veyed well and truly in what is
perhaps the most difficult part:
in the play.. Meeker was superb.
Comic. Roles Praised .
The comic roles of Trinculo, a
jester,-and Stephano, the drunk
en butler, were brought to life
by Thomas Brennan and John
Taylor. Brennan, particularly,
vith a mobile, expressive face,
and a split-second sense of tim
ing, brought the best laughs of
the evening. "
" Virginia Chesse asv Miranda
had the only major female role,
and carried it off nicely! Though
her voice once or twice failed to
carry; past the middle ipf the
audience, she gave the part the
tender and v romantic appeal
needed. "
Bill Oyler has a small role,
that of the evil brother, Antonio.
But .Qyler is so. at home on the
stage, has. such amazingly wicked-looking
curly hair, can curl
his lip. and cheek and raise his
eyebrow so effectively, that it is
a shivery delight to watch him
in action. -
In all, it is possible to advise
the reader that'The Tempest"
is more than well-worth seeing.
It- is a "must" for anyone who
has -the slightest pretension of
enjoying -the festival. . -
It is also necessary to advise
those readers who are lovers of.
comfort to take or rent a pillow.'
The new seats, which have the
advantage of belonging' to the
festival, were not designed with
a full appreciation of the needs
of the. human anatomy.'
it is also hoped that the city
of Ashland can. revise the ag
gravating and .apparently un
necessary one-way . traffic ar
rangement in front of the thea

Assault Conviction
Handed to Lawyer
Who Hit Pearson
Washington (U.R) Columnist
Drew Pearson observed Satur
day that the assault conviction
of Charles Patrick Clark, Wash
ington lawyer who socked him
on the jaw, vindicated "a news
paperman's right to report the
facts."
A Municipal Court Jury con
victed Clark late Friday- after
hearing , him and Pearson give
varying versions of a fracas that
occurred June 18 in the lobby of
the swank Mayflower hotel. The
panel of five women and seven
men deliberated only half an
hour.
The ' 180-pound Clark, who
said the columnist affected him
"like the red flag in front of a
bull," claimed he swung out in
self defense after Pearson made
a threatening move. He said he
also objected to the "innuendos"
about him in Pearson's . radio
and newspaper columns.
' Pearson had referred to Clark
as a ' "lobbyist" and linked his
name with Sen. Owen Brewster
(R Maine) and Rep. Eugene J.
Keogh (R-N.Y.), who favored
U.S. aid to Spain. Clark is regis
tered with the U. S. government
as a representative of Franco
Spain. '""

Van Fleet's Warning
On Armistice Chance
Features Bad News
By PHIL NEWSOM
United Press Staff Analyst
The week's balance sheet be
tween the good and bad news
in the hot and cold wars:
THE BAD
1. Gen. James A. Van Fleet
gave us bluntly the bad news
about Korea. He said the chances
for an armistice were the worst
they ever had been. Barring a
change in location of the truce
talks to some place outside Ko
rea, it seemed the U. N. had only
one of two choices. It could sur
render to the Reds-on the ques
tion of return of war prisoners,
or it could step up its military
pressure in the hope of forcing
the Reds, to change their minds.
Europe Hopes Dimming
2. Hopes were dimming that
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's Eu
ropean Army would reach its
objective of 52 divisions in be
ing this year. The French said
that without increased United
States help, arms factories em
ploying some 25,000 skilled
workers would have to shut
down. The British also were ex
tending their rearmament pro
gram from three to four years
without a corresponding increase
in production goals. Difficulties
also were propping up in U. S.
negotiations with Spain over use
of Spanish bases.
3. Anti-American feeling con
tinued to mount in Iran. The
Iranians accuse of siding with
Britain in the dispute over Iran
ian oil and are resentful because
U. S. .aid to Iran has been less
than that given to Greece and
Turkey. The Tudeh Party Iran
ian Communists was operating
openly even though it still, tech
nically, was outlawed.
THE GOOD
1. Britain's Prims Minister
Winston Churchill and his chan
cellor of the exchequer, R. A.
Butler, continued to talk darkly
of the dangers of national bank
ruptcy, but they outlined new
plans which they believed would
balance British exports and im
ports in the second half of this
year. The Churchill government
beat off another censure attempt
by Laborite left-wingers who,
among other things, accuse the
United States of dictating Bri
tain's rearmament urogram.
Russian Attempts Hampered
2. Russian attempts to turn
East Germany into a full-blown
satellite state were meeting with
less than whole-hearted approval
by the German people. Refugee?,
including former East German
policemen, streamed to the West
at a rate greater than 1,000 a
day. Meanwhile, West Germany's
The population of the United
States is increasing at a rate of
about 2,500,000 persons yearly.

Gen. Mohammed Naguib, and hi?
premier, Aly Maher, were mak
ing at least outward attempts
to democratize the country after
the ouster of King Farouk. Titles
were abolished, censorship of

Korea, VFW Head States
Los Angeles, Calif. (U.R)
Frank Hilton, national com
mander in chief of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars said Friday the
United Nations should either
fight an all-out war in Korea
or get out entirely.

year," Hilton said.

Strike Threafened
By Railroad Unions
Cleveland (U.R) Four op
erating brotherhoods threatened
Saturday to walk off their jobs
Sunday mornirfg on New York
Central Railroad lines east of
Buffalo, N. Y., in a dispute ov
er working rules.
The unions went ahead with
plans to close down the railroad's
Eastern system even though top
officers were opposed to a strike
on such short notice.
A meeting of union leaders
was scheduled to be held here
later Saturday in an effort to
postoone the strike until Wed
nesday, J. P. Shields, head of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Engin
eers, said he believed the bro
therhoods wouli agree to the
postponement.
In addition to the engineers
the brotherhoods involved are
the trainmen, firemen and con
ductors. They took a strike vote
more than two years ago on
working rules grievances, but
the railroad was operated by the
government at that time and the
issue never was settled.
