Streamliner
Derailment Hurts
58 Passengers
Milwaukee, Wis (LTD A
swaying Milwaukee Road
streamliner packed with va
cationers jumped the rails at
90 miles an hour Thursday,
injuring at least 58 persons
but killing no one.
Eleven cars of the line's 18
car deluxe Olympian Hiawa
tha left the tracks and plung
ed down an embankment near
suburban Oak Creek south of
here.
On Said Serious
A United Press Internation
al count showed 49 persons
hospitalized with injuries to
day, but only one was report
ed eh serious condition. Nine
other persons were treated at
Milwaukee area hospitals and
released.
Among the 497 passengers,
most of them headed for vaca
tions, was Leo T. Crowley,
chairman of the board of the
Milwaukee Road. Crowley,
who was en route to Seattle,
the train's destination, was
thrown from his seat but was
not injured.
Railroad officials said a
preliminary check failed to
reveal a clue as to the cause
of the accident.
Six Over Embankment
The six rear cars broke
free from the rest of the train
in the jolting derailment and
tumbled down an embank
ment. None overturned.
Five other cars rolled 300
yards down the track before
derailing.,
A fire broke out in the din
ing car, momentarily trapping
passengers.
Witnesses said Al Sawczyn,
Chicago, played a hero's role
in smashing a window in the
dining car and, although cut
nd bruised, helping a score
of passengers to safety.
Aluminum Makers
Join Steel Industry
In Price Increases
New York (UPD The nation
headed for another round of
inflation today with prices for
two basic materials steel and
aluminum m o v i n g lip a
notch.
All the major steel com
panies were charging $4.25 to
$4.50 per too more. on.the
steel product used in autos
and appliances.
At the same-.time Aluminum
Co. of America announced it
was raising prices of the light
weight metal 710th of a cent
per pound. And trade experts
said other aluminum produc
ers soon would follow the Al
coa lead.
The new increases mean
higher price tags on every
thing from hairpins and toast
ers to the family car. About
a ton of steel and several hun
dred pounds of aluminum are
used in an average car.
Blame Wage Costs
Both Alcoa and the steel
producers said they were in
creasing prices to offset'high
er wage costs and emphasized
the increases will only par
tially offset these higher costs.
Steel costs moved up July 1
when the industry gave work
ers an additional 20 cents an
hour under a three-year con
tract with the United Steel-workers.

Festival Reviewer
Sees Life in Play
To Complete Canon
"Troilus and Cessida," the
Festival audience was inform
ed following its performance
last night, is the last of
Shakespeare's 37 plays to be
produced in Ashland. This is
understandable.
It could well be under
stood, in fact, if the play
were tactfully overlooked and
not produced at all. Not that
the play is a failure. On the
contrary, Shakespeare has
succeeded all too well in his
purpose.
His purpose, however, was
not to offer a tragic catharsis,
as in "King Lear," nor to en
tertain romantic fancies and
light - hearted wits, as in
"Much Ado About Nothing-"
No, the audience rises at the
conclusion with the final
woTd,- "diseases," rankling in
its ears. It departs into the
night with a sense of futility
festering within it.
The" audience at "Troilus
and Cressida" is like a trout
fisherman who has cast his
fly only to discover, horrified,
that it has landed in a stag
nant pool.
Audience More Tolerant
But if this audience is more
tolerant in retrospect, it will
realize that ' the play like
such a pool teems with life
as much if not more than a
brisk, bubbling brook.
And further, this panorama
of men and, women corrupt
ed by a sluggish war is pecul
iarly appropriate to the times.
While diplomats hem, haw
and haggle over summit meet
ings and disarmament, and
U. S. Marines crouch bewild
ered at Beirut, the play offers
stringent commentary on a
strangely similar, situation.
The setting is the Trojan
War, a Middle- East crisis in
The companies said the steel
price boost, which averages
nearly 3 per cent and lifts a
ton of steel to about $150, will
enable them to recover less
than half of the higher costs.
In the aluminum industry
the higher' wage costs went
into .. effect today under a
three-year contract with the
same union. .They also
amounted to 20 cents an hour.
Predicts General Increases
' Alcoa stressed its price in
crease restores only part of a
two-cent per pound reduction
lat April 1 when the price of
the metal dropped in world
markets from 26 to 24 cents as
the result of large Soviet of
ferings. So far the steel price in
crease has been on a selective
basis, affecting only sheet and
strip products used by auto
and appliance makers.
However, Bethlehem Steel
Corp. president Arthur B.
Homer predicted Thursday
that by the end of this month
the increase will be "across
the board."
Still to be affected are steel
products like bars, tin plates,
heavy plates and structural
shapes used by such industries
as ship-building, canning and
contruction.
which the ancient Greeks in
dignantly invaded what is
now the western coast of Tur
key. Instead of oil as today
the object was a woman,
Helen, whom a lusty Trojan
prince named Paris abducted
her from Ihe palace of her
husband, Menelaeus, and
brought to Troy. The groud
and vengeful Greeks set sail
chivalrously to recapture her,
only to find themselves en
camped before Troy in a
seemingly endless siege.
Graham as Ulysses
For seven years this cold
war had persisted. Ulysses,
played with sophistication by
Richard Graham, bemoans the
loss of discipline in the Greek
army. Achilles, the Greeks'
hero, "in this dull and long
continu'd truce is rusty
grown." Claude Jenkins did
not quite get across the de
generation of Achilles' char
acter Meanwhile, the beautiful
Helen, whose face has launch
ed a thousand ships and
placed a thousand chips on
shoulders trembling with gal
lantry, is revealed as a drunk
en, dissolute wench a mock
ery of noble aspirations.
And as Helen goes, so goes
the war generally. The pro
logue warns:
"like or find fault; do as
your pleasures are; -
Now good or bad, 'tis but
the chance of war."
This "chance of war" has
reduced heroism to bloated
self - esteem, morality to
muscle-flexing and love to
lust..
Upon this stage there lurks
one voice of truth Incisive in
its cynicism, appalling in its
imagery Thersites, "a de
formed and scurrilous Greek."
Nagle Jackson plays him with
restraint, making him perhaps
a more sympathetic character
than Shakespeare intended.
But his tongue snaps like a
cat o' nine tails as he cries:
"Lechery, lechery; still
vars and lechery; nothing else
holds fashion. A burning dev
il take theml"
Played With Intensity
Onto this darkling plain
steps Troilus, a passionate
young Trojan prince played
with intensity by George Va
fiadis. He loves a Trojan girl
named Cressida. While her
father, a traitor, joins the
Greeks, her uncle Pandarus
a, putrid cupid brilliantly
performed by Michael O'Sul
livan plays matchmaker in
the worst sense of the word.
In the sense, in fact, of the
word derived from his name
a panderer. He shoves the
two lovers at each other in
order to insure a consumma
tion of their passions, then
fusses about like a bubonic
butterfly, urging them on.
"But still," Troilus re
marks, "sweet love is food for
Fortune's tooth." When Cres
sida is traded to the Greeks
in exchange for a captive Tro
jan commander Troilus hav
ing betrayed their love by in
sisting on this expediency
she proves quickly inconstant
in the Greek camp. Margaret
Vafiadis voice seemed shrill
at times, but Cressida is not
supposed to be one of Shake
speare's more beguiling hero
ines.
His passion spurred ' by
jealousy and the threat of dis
illusionment, Troilus plunges
into battle but the play
ends with his sword whetted
still on expectation rather
than victory. And this reflects
at once the weakness and
strength of the play.
Lacks Structure
Technically it lacks struc
ture, meanders, the title-plot
neglected seemingly in the
general confusion of the war.
The story unravels but
leaves one with loose ends. It
concludes not with a funeral
elegy or double-marriage
but with Pandarus, bewailing
his professions lack of dig
nity, insinuatingly addressing
the audience as "Good traders
in the flesh" and shrieking a
series of eery, unheroic coup
lets ending:
"Till then I'll sweat and
seek about for eases,
And at that time be
queath you my diseases."
Yet it was Shakespeare's
genius in this play to suit the
form or lack of it to the
subject. His theme is the ugli
ness and degradation which
this long, soul-fatiguing war
visits upon the several partici
pants. If the play lacks direc
tion, or purpose, so at this
point does the war.
It has reached a stage
where the degenerate Pandar
us and spiteful Thersites
not the senile kings or pomp
ous warriers gain the aud
ience's confidence and guide
it through the action. E.W.

Baby Reported
Taken From Home
As Mother Beaten
Porter, Wash. (LTD A vol
unteer search party will look
today for some trace of a 6V2-months-old
girl reported tak
en from her home after her
mother had been beaten un
conscious. Mrs. Darlene Palmer, 21,
told Sheriff Richard Simmons
and Federal Bureau of Inves
tigation agents an unknown
assailant struck her on the
head and right arm Thursday
while she was in the back
yard of her home on Gibson
Creek road three miles east
of here.
"When I came to, my baby
was gone," she said. "I want
my little girl back. Please
find her.
"They must have taken my
baby quickly because I wasn't
unconscious very long."
Dr. Samuel McCool, Elma,
Wash., confirmed the. wo
man's statement that she had
been struck on the head.
Simmons said there seemed
to be no motive for the kid
napping. He said, "we are going on
the theory that possibly a
hobo, a sexual deviate or a
woman who was desperately
in want of a child took the
girl. It's almost as though the
baby disappeared into thin

Measure To Protect
Rogue River Scenic
Strip Gets
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington The Senate
interior committee Thursday
approved a bill to add a corri
dor of private land to the
Siskiyou National forest to
protect the scenic values of
a 20-mile stretch of the Rogue
river. . .
The 20,636-acre corridor is
mostly privately owned, much
of it by the U.S. Plywood
Corp. The bill, sponsored by
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.), would permit the
forest service to swap other
forest land of equal value for
this riverside land in order to
prevent logging of. the timber
along the river's banks.
A similar bill, sponsored by
Rep. Charles O. Porter (D
Ore.). was discussed in the
House interior committee
Thursday.

Approval
Private owners of the land
are not opposed to it but want
quick action so they can
make cutting plans. The For
est Service report said:
"The . described lands
largely are wild, forested
areas. The slopes above the
river bluffs generally bear
merchantable timber. This
portion of the Rogue river is
famed for its natural beauty
and also for fine fishing. Ex
cept . for occasional habita
tions or recreational cabins,
it largely is undeveloped and
there has been little impair
ment of the natural beauty of
the river or the open flats
and forested slopes and
ridges which confine it. This
area offers many and varied,
opportunities for camping,
fishing, hunting, boating and
like forms of outdoor recrea
tion. A road soon to be con
structed south of the river
will make possible timber har
vesting and increased recrea
tion use." '
"The need to protect the
unique scenic and recrea
tional value of the area, and
to provide adequate camp
grounds and other public use
areas can best be accomplish
ed by placing the area inside
national forest boundaries
and thus making key recrea
tional and scenic sites now
privately owned available for
public development through
land exchange proceduress."
The corridor is located on
the west side of the Siskiyoufl
Forest, embracing the towns
of Agnes and Illahe.
Western Forest Industries
association has opposed the
bill on grounds it would re
duce the allowable cut of the
forest. The forest service
told Porter the bill would re
sult in "no material reduc
tion" in the amount of tim
ber available for logging in
the Rogue river working
