‘Inaccurate’
Post Article
WASHINGTON GT > > —Adlai E.
Stevenson, U.S. ambassador to the
United Nations, denounced Mon
day a magazine article which he
said “grossly misrepresented my
views” on Cuba.
Stevenson referred to an article
in the Saturday Evening Post
titled “In Time of Crisis” written
by Stewart Alsop, Washington ed
itor of the magazine and Charles
Bartlett, Washington correspond
ent for the Chattanooga Times.
The article contended that Ste
venson disagreed with President
Kennedy on the Cuban blockade
and “preferred political negotia
tion to the alternative of military
action.”
The article carries a picture of
Stevenson with a caption saying
Stevenson was strong during the
U.N. debate, but inside the White
House the hard-liners thought he
was soft.”
Stevenson said “An article in a
national magazine described my
role in the Cuban affair in lan
guage both inaccurate and grossly
misrepresenting my view’s.”

Wash Site’s
Hose Stolen
Some people really have
troubles. Take the poor Build
ing and Utilities Department for
example.
It seems that when the three
student car wash areas were
opened recently precautions were
taken to make sure no one re
moved the hoses from the water
faucets.
Adept B&U master craftsmen
soldered the hoses to the con
nections to prevent thefts.
Now, a thinking thief has ta
ken the hose from the Law Hall
site by cutting it off about a
foot from the tap.
Tom Cherry, director of busi
ness affairs for the college,
warned that the school cannot
continue to provide such serv
ices as the car wash sites unless
there is a mutual understanding
not to steal the hoses.
“We will replace the hose this
time but we would not be able
to supply hoses indefinitely,” he
said.

Battalion News Editor
Against a background of medi-
val stone walls and clad in color
ful costumes, the Aggie Players
opened their second production of
the year, “The Lady’s Not For
Burning,” Monday night in Guion
Hall.
Set in 15th century England, the
three-act play tells the fanciful
story of Thomas Mendip, a very
cynical young soldier seeking ideal
istic martyi’dom. His plea for
death falls on unhearing ears how
ever, as authorities refuse to be
lieve the murder accounts of which
he claims.
They are too busy trying to fi
gure out what to do with Jennet,
played by Joanne Smerdon, the
lovely young object of a witch
hunt. While Jennet tries to con
vince Thomas that life is worth
living, Humphrey, played by Ri
chard Metz, makes an attempt to

THIS ROMANTIC theme is beset
by comic situations as a beer-
loving judge, Tappercoom, portray
ed by Bill Thornton, conspires with
a confused mayor, Hebble Tyson,
acted by George Lovett, with the
result of chaos.
Two more zany characters are
added to the household in the per
son of the mayor’s sister, an over
ly talkative matron played by
Carita Lyles, and the timid chap
lain, played by Nick Lundy.
A touching sub-plot within the
comic proceedings is the romance
between the Mayor’s clerk, played
by Jerry Fletcher, and Alizon, play
ed by Sharon Prisk.
Rounding out the cast is Nicho

Kennedy Given
Harriman’s
Indian Report
WASHINGTON UP) — President
Kennedy has received a firsthand
report from W. Averell Harriman
hut made no decision on how much
long-term U.S. arms aid should
go to India.
In reporting this, highly placed
U.S. authorities said short-term
emergency American military as
sistance would continue to be
rushed to India for some time to
come because of equipment losses
Indian troops have suffered from
the Red Chinese attacks.
Harriman, assistant secretary of
state for Far Eastern affams, re
turned last Saturday from a special
mission to India and Pakistan to
assess what help the United States
should provide.
He spent an hour and 20 min
utes at the White House telling
Kennedy and other top officials of
his one-week trip.
The U.S. government has made
no secret of its willingness to help
India withstand the Communist
Chinese onslaught.
But there has been considerable
uncertainty about what assistance
should be provided, and the an
swers have apparently not yet
been worked out.
The emergency shipments, which
have been going on since October,
consist of automatic, weapons, am
munition and gear of special value
in mountain fighting, officials
said.
