Some Roles in 'Harvey' Overplayed But Critic Finds Show Rewarding By WILLIAM EWALD UPI Correspondent New York -4UPD-1 reviewed "Harvey" Monday after catch ing a preview of it, but I sup pose I should add some sort of p o s tscript to Monday night's CBS TV spectacu lar. P.S. It still struck me as a rather re ward ing 90 minute excur sion, perhaps a trifle slow In warming up. One aspect of the piece, however, that es caped me on Sunday was brought sharply into focus by Monday night's performance: as skillfully as the perform- IX2I U William Ewald Check Pays for Old Vegetable Thefts Detroit-fUPD-Jacob P. Sume racki, chairman of the Wayne county board of auditors, Monday opened an envelope containing a $10 check drawn on the bank of Loogootee, Ind., and a short note: "Some years ago I lived in Wayne and made a couple of trips to Eloise (Wayne county general hospital) gardens at night and took vegetables. The Lord has saved me since then and I want to make res titution. Please find enclosed check to cover same." ances of Art Carney, Marion Lome and Lor ing Smith were their styles didn't always mesh well. No One's Fault I don t think it was any one's fault. It was just that Miss Lome and Smith-lean ing hard on stage technique played their roles much larg er than life. They turned out broad, exaggerated portraits, almost caricatures of people Eut very funny caricatures. Carney and some of the lesser players-notably Eliza beth Montgomery-underplay ed a little. Their acting was very televisionish. As a result Miss Lome and Smith tended to swallow up. those in the cast like Carney who under stated. This constrast of styles seemed to give "Harvey" an occasional awkwardness, a herky-jerkiness of mood Aside from that, thumbs up again. Like Painting "Father Knows Best re turned Monday night on CBS-TV. I know many view ers look upon the series -as healthy and warm, but I find it a little like a Norman Rock well painting: It shows us life not as it really it, but as we mesmerized by Hollywood and Madison ave.-sometimes find ourselves into believing it is. I suppose many people find the myth more comfort than reality, so I'll leave them with it, tit, 4:. , lJI i WATCH AMERICA'S CUP RACE The President and Mrs. Eisenhower board destroyer USS Mitscher in New port, R. L, to r watch the opening of the America's Cup race between the U. S. yacht Columbia and Great Britain's Sceptre.

Interplanetary Travel Said Still Long Way Off Portland Earthlings may be exploring Mars and Venus before the end of the 20th century but true inter planetary travel is still a long way off, an Army offic ial said Monday. Lt. Col. Paul D. Hickman of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces said a lot more speed is needed before patrol of outer space can be gin. Aquatic Life Possible Hickman told the Portland National Resources Confer ence that the possibility exists of finding aquatic life on Venus and there was evidence of plant life and therefore pos sible animal life on Mars. But he said a trip to Mars and back would take about 2V2 years, a pretty lonely" ex cursion. This would be at a "slow" speed of 25,000 miles an hour. Col. Hickman said a satel lite station in space would have more psychological than practical value. He said the moon would be of greater value for an observation sta tion. He said that if we don't conquer space "another na tion will." Hickman said the first space patrollers may be men manning "solar sailboats. He said sails have been proposed as a means of propulsion in outer space. He said plastic sails covered with aluminum would draw enough power from the sun to propel a veh icle through space. More than 250 civilian in dustry leaders and reserve of ficers were on hand for. the opening of the two-day con ference. Gov. Robert D. Holmes welcomed the dele gates.

The ship arrived here with a cargo of alumina ore for Harvey Aluminum Company at The Dalles. It, along with other alumina ships, has been unloaded here recently with suction equipment which Gen eral Ore -& Chemical Corpo ration says makes it imprac tical to use longshore labor. Meanwhile, in Circuit Court, Judge Alfred T. Sul- monetti heard arguments on a suit for an injunction seeking to restrain the pickets. Judge Sulmonetti vacated an earlier restraining order against Local 8 of the longshore un ion in which 20 unidentified pickets were named by the company. Only three pickets were actually served with the restraining order. While Local 8 was under restrain, mem bers of Local 92 took over the picket . line.

"All of this adds up to try ing to bring the .full weight of the chief executive in back of efforts of chambers of com merce, farm groups and oth ers -to expand Oregon indus try," Holmes said. Hatfield said there is "the Slabbed Minister Reported Improved New York -(UPD The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., 30, southern Negro integration leader who was stabbed last Saturday by a Negro woman, was reported much improved today despite a mild case of pneumonia.
