. Actor Carradine
Pleases Audience
An actor who “fell in love with
the English language” when he
was 8 years old held his audience
spellbound last night as he recited
passages from the Bible, Shakes
peare, Rupert Brooke, and Abra
ham Lincoln.
Performing in the MSC ballroom
before 400 members and guests of
the College Station-Bryan Knife
and Fork Club, John Carradine,
well-known actor of stage and
screen, interposed anecdotes of the
stage with dramatic interpreta-
^4V>ns of some of the world’s best-
m%l literature.
Tms selections included the
“Faith, Hope, and Charity” pas
sage from the Bible, several of
Lincoln’s speeches and stories,
three poems of Rupert Brooke, and
some scenes from Shakespeare.
Bible Most Beautiful
Each recital was preceded by a
brief explanation of the setting, a
few notes on the famous actors
that have played the part, or any
thing else that came to Carradine’s
mind.
He explained that he always
starts his performance with a se
lection from the Bible, because he
considers parts of the Bible the
“most beautiful writing in the Eng
lish language.”
An actor for 27 years, 'the tall,
thin, Lincolnesque Carradine has
appeared in 20J motion pictures
and what he called “a whole parade
of Broadway plays.”
Motion pictures he has played in
Include “Stagecoach,” “Grapes of
iVrath,” “Jesse James,” and “Cap-
Uins Courageous.”
Outstanding Performance
His outstanding stafe perform
ances were in “The Madwoman of
Chaillot,” “Arsenic and Old Lace,”
“Othello,” “Hamlet,” and others.
Carradine recently received an
offer to play the lead in “The Sil
ver Whistle” in London, England.
He hopes to become the third
American actor to play Shakes
peare on an English stage.
“Ever since I can remember, I
have wanted to go to England,”
he said.
He considers the title role in
“Othello” his favorite stage role.
“ ‘Othello’ is the greatest piece
of dramatic architecture ever de
vised,” he said. “I like the part
because I think I am well suited
to convey it. It’s satisfying to
play.
Favorite Role
“My favorite movie role was
either the part of the mysterious
and romantic gambler in ‘Stage
coach’ or the part of the preacher
in ‘Grapes of Wrath,’ ” he said. “I
enjoyed playing both of them.”
Carradine has toured the coun
try with his own Shakespeare
troupe. To play the feminine leads
in his company, he hired an act
ress named Sonia Soi-ell, who later
became his wife. They have two
sons.
He and his wife have performed
together in 28 plays over a period
of eight years.

(A 5 )—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,

“It won’t bring any comfort to
any American house to fix Korea

come to a lasting solution for Ko

6 Hate-Fear’ Peddlers
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 15—bS 5 )
Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson tonight
denounced “peddlers of hate and
fear,” whom he said Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower has enlisted in his
campaign for the presidency.
Stevenson, the Democratic nom
inee for the White House, did not
name the “peddlers” but he de
clared in a prepared text, which
he did not read in full, that they
would be of little significance “if
they had not been welcomed as
satellites” by GOP Sen. Robert A.
Taft of Ohio.
Speaking in the solemn atmos
phere of the Mormon Tabernacle,
x Stevenson sharply edited the text
.UrfV his address in which he had
again accused Eisenhower—his Re
publican rival for the presidency—
of having “surrendered to Taft,”
who bid unsuccessfully for the
GOP nomination.
In the advance copies of his
speech handed to newsmen, Steven
son had accused Eisenhower of
chanting the theme song of the
Kremlin in contending that Amer
ica’s prosperity is based on war
and rearmament.
However, the Illinois governor
omitted the charge in the speech
he delivered. He also omitted a
prepared text statement that the
general had resorted to “mean mo-

tives,” and has dipped “somewhere
near the low-water mark” in an
effort to win the November elec
tion.
The official explanation by Wil
liam Flannagan, his press repre
sentative, was that the governor
had to cut his talk because of
limitations on national television
and radio time.
Stevenson drew a capacity crowd
in the 7,000-seat tabernacle, and
D. W. Thomander, superintendent
of the county sheriff’s office, fig
ured an additional 1,250 persons
were gathered in an adjoining as
sembly hall.
When Eisenhower spoke in Salt

ed 12,000 were on hand—in the
tabernacle, the assembly hall and
crowded outside.

Instead of politics, Pogo’s speak
er will discuss a simple, harmless
issue—“The Social and Ethical Re
sponsibilities of a Cartoonist to
the American People.”
The exact content of this ad
dress by the cartoonist (no rela
tion to a Walt named Disney)
has been withheld because of its
volumninous nature.
For the true Pogo fans, a badge
of identification is now available,
and the ’possum suggests that it
be proudly worn to display affili
ation with the thousands of other
people who have “Gone Pogo.”
“I Go Pogo” pins are available
to A&M students at the main desk
of the Student Activities Office
on the second floor of Goodwin
Hall. Only a limited supply of the
free buttons is now on hand.

C.O.s Don’t Want Rank On Fatigues
Davis Uniform Decree Has
Seniors in Disagreement
The- opinions concerning changes
in the corps as announced by Col
onel Davis Monday in the C.O.’s
meeting, seem to be pretty much
the same.
C.O.’s were interviewed for the
most part, the reason being that
not too many cadets have become
fully aware of the changes. An
article containing the changes was
published in yesterday’s Battalion.
Because those whose opinions
were asked, were seniors, the
change which brought the most
comment was the new ruling re
quiring cadet commissioned offi-
cei's to wear their rank on their
fatigues.
Colonel Davis possibly set a mil
itary precedent with this action
since no one interviewed could re
call it being done at any time in
the past. Cadet Captain Jack
Thornton of AAA commented,
“(It) Looks kind of useless. None
of the seniors in my outfit are for
it.” In making his comment,
Thornton summed up the attitude
of all those who were asked about
the ruling.
The general attitude towards , the fatigue jumper is worn out-
standardization of wearing of the
fatigue jumper was a little less
severe, though still bringing a good
bit of comment. Colonel Davis
cited as a precedent for this action
the fact that in the regular army,

side while in summer uniform, and
inside while in winter uniform.
The main point against this rul
ing was that it abolished a class
privilege, though belt privileges
still remain the same. Most of
those interviewed seemed to think,
however, that it looks much better
to wear the fatigue jumper in and
that it should be worn in both
summer and winter.
Some commented that while they
were at summer camps they wore
theirs in and saw no one, cadet or
i-egular, wearing his jumper out.

“Wind and waves are always in
favor of the good navigator,”
Clifton Carter United States Mar
shal of the southern district 'of
Texas told members of the Pre-
Law Society Tuesday.
Carter spoke before a capacity
crowd in the YMCA Assembly
Room on the duties of the United
States Marshal. He advised Ag
gies to be tolerant and patient
with their fellow man if they wish
ed to be successful in life.
Appointed by the Px-esident and
approved by Congress, the U. S.
Marshal shoulders the bux-den of
being the exeexxtive officer of the
fedex-al district court. This office
was cx-eated in 1789 and the fixst
federal court session was held
October, 1789 hx Connecticut.

New York and Texas have four
marshals within their state.
Including 46 counties, the south-
ern district of Texas stretches
from near Beaumont to Browns
ville, on the Gulf, and up to La
redo in the valley. Brazos and
Madison counties are the northern
limits of the distx-ict.
Have Lady Marshals
“We have the distinction of hav
ing one of the two lady deputies
in the country in our district of
fice hex-e at Bryan,” Carter said.
“These lady deputies, have full
authority to w r ear a badge and
pack a pistol,” he said.
Over one million dollars in pay
roll checks go through Carter’s
office each year.
In the past year, 24 per cent of
all federal criminal cases and 51
per cent of all immigration cases
came from the southern district of
Texas.
Many Wet-Back Cases
“In the valley we have tried 600
to 700 immigration cases a day and
that sux-e keeps the boys hoppin’,”
Cax-ter said. By ‘boys’, Carter
means the four judges and 17
deputies in the southern district.
• As to the glamox’ous side of the
U. S. Marshal’s job, Carter said
all he had ever owned in the way
of arms was a B-B gun and he
usually left the deputies to carx-y

sentimentality.
He recalled that he had boon
stationed in this city as a young
lieutenant in the Army. .And he
said that it was at Ft. Sam Hous

Their son, John, now a majox-

here.
Eisenhower took the Alamo,
where a climactic battle between
Texans and the Mexicans was
fought in 1836, and likening the
attacks on that Texas citadel to
some political assaults on him.
Eisenhower cjuoted William Bar-
i-ett Travis, a hero of the Alamo:
“At least 200 shells have fallen
within our walls without having
injured a single man.”
Eisenhower said he feels the
same way about all political shots
fired at him.
Turning to his main theme,
peace, he said, “I retuxmed from
Europe because I was convinced
that thex-e was a still bigger job
to be done for peace. That big
ger job had to be done in Amer
ica.”
He laid down four “corner
stones” on which he said contin
uing peace must be built. They
were:
® A strong America, economi
cally, militarily and spix-itually.
© A national leadership in
Washington that commands the re
spect of the nation as a whole.
• Free allies with whom bonds
of fi-iendship have been cemented
in times of peace.
® The United Nations, which he
said “can be—must be—made a
workable road to world peace.
The general referred indix-ectly
to the px-oblems of Communists in
government, and he said the Tru
man administration has been “far
from diligent” in rooting out Reds
from fedex-al offices.
But he did not x-efer to Sen.

when he named a leader in the
fight against subvex’sives in Wash

He said: “We have seen this
