I o e 1 i m m Russia Charges American Plane With Violation Moscow (LTD The Govern ment charged today in a note of protest to the United States and Iran that an American military plane deliberately violated Russian air space last Saturday but was forced back by Soviet fighters. The protest identified the plane as an RB47, which is a reconnaisance version of the B47 jet bomber. . They said the RB47 flew from the direction of Iran and crossed the Soviet frontier over the Caspian Sea about 200 miles east-southeast of the town of Astara. About 20 miles inside the Soviet Union it was met by Russian fighter planes and was forced to turn back in the direction of Iran, the note said. Punishment Demanded The Soviet Foreign Minis try handed the protests to U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson and Iranian Am bassador Mostafa Sami. The note to the U.S. de manded that the persons in volved in the flight be pun ished and asked that effective measures be taken to prevent such flights in the future. The Soviet government took a particularly serious view of 1 the incident, it said, because the violation of its air space took place at a moment when the armed intervention of the U. S. and Britain in the Middle East had created a tense situ ation, i Tragedy of 'Lear' Found Affecting, Splendid Stagecraft In Sir Laurence Oliviers film production of Henry V, one of the cinematic tricks he used was a sudden switch from a strictly realistic and somewhat shoddy picture of the Globe theater of Shake speare's time into an idealized never-never land of Shake spearean drama. The camera lifted into the air from the confines of the stage, and, as if on wings, descended to France where the action, freed from walls and curtains, resumed. It was an effective bit of filmcraft. But something, similar to that effect occurred last night in the Elizabethan theater in Ashland, as the Shakespear ean Festival gave its produc tion of "King Lear." One moment, one is looking at a group of colorfully cos tumed, artfully made-up young actresses and actors, Conferees Work On Klamath Bill Washington (UPD House Senate conferees went to work today on a compromise ver sion of the Klamath Indian timber bill approved by the House Tuesday on a voice vote. The bill would assure sus tained yield cutting on the res ervation even though the tim ber is purchased by private interests.

The measure would also cre ate a Klamath National Wild life Refuge on existing marsh, lands. ' The Senate approved the bill earlier. striding and declaiming on the stage. The next, one is caught up in the story. The antique puz zlement of Shakespeare's phrases is gone and the roll ing speech becomes living language. The youthful cast vanishes, and in their place are men, and women, recreat ing an old but vivid tale of tragic character, of death and treachery and suffering and love. Lear, as presented in Ash land, makes little attempt at realism. Rather it strives for a distilled essence of the emo- Trial Dates Set During October October trial dates were set for three men in district court Monday and a youth was re leased from the county jail and parolled to the state board of parole and probation by Judge James M.

And in this it is a smashing success. Portions are genuinely af fecting evoking a thrill of sympathy here, a touch of horror there, a nod of under standing elsewhere. Sweeping Drama And always it is drama sweeping drama that carries one along through the three hour production with little let or pause, and leaves one wrung dry at the end. The production is not with out its minor faults, but it would be carping to dwell on them. Richard Graham's King Lear was a little shouty. But perhaps that was intended, in part to contrast with the few tender, gentle scenes as death approached. And Grahams stature, his command of the tongue, his sureness in the role from the regal frenzies to the almost cuildlike mum blings at the close made the character, if not quite believ able, at least one that is not soon forgotten, and never ignored. Acting honors, we feel, must go to Harold V Gould, who showed, as Edmund, bastard son of the . Earl of Gloucester, an understanding of both the comic and the sin ister facets of the man, and an uncanny ability of voice and timing to project them to his audience. Curious Role Robert Towers, as the fool, who may be simply a project tion of Lear's attempts to win back to sanity, ,made his points sharply. It is a curious role, and the slight figure of Towers frightened, canny, loyal carried it well. i The other masculine lead roles of Albany, Kent, Glou cester, Edgar were never less than convincing. Edward Grover's Kent, particularly, was stalwart, humorous and sympathetic. Claude Jenkins, as Cornwall, has the com manding stature and voice to make his relatively small part stand out. And Paul Harper, as Edgar and later "poor Tom," showed a versatility unsuspected at his first ap pearance. The three women Eliza beth Hiller as Goneril, Rosa lyn Newport as Cordelia, and Rachel Weller as Regan per formed effectively. Miss New port's delicate beauty and wistful demeanor accorded well with Cordelia'sunhappy part. Miss Hiller and Miss Weller were fine, female fig ures of villainy in the1 later scenes, and of dawning per fidy earlier in the play. Play Hat force "The Tragedy of King Lear" is not a pretty play, but it has force. It is full of murder, insanity, double dealing and treachery, the sins of avarice and covetous ness, of blood and blasphemy and violence. The frequent crudity of the language is shocking to gentle ears. But, as stagecraft, it has moments of splendor, and as a chronicle of good intent gone wrong, and bad intent creeping in, it claws at one as lesser, happier themes can never do. The overall effect cannot be credited wholly to the act ors, for the subtle touches of MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Wednesday, Jury 30, 1958 1 Robert Loper's direction, the finnese of lighting, the sym bolism of costumes, and at tendant, moody music all these add, to the effect and spur the audience to a sort of reluctant empathy. .
