USe ner Marred Integration Is Top UPI Story When Illness Hits 2 Guests Friday, December 12, 1958 THE DAILY NEWS-TEXAN WASHINGTON DPI The illness and sudden departure of two guests marred President and Mrs. Eisenhower's millionaire studded state dinner at the White House Thursday night. Mrs. Howard Simpson, wife of the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad suffered a minor heart ailment shortly after the oyster course. A bit later, Newport K.

socialite Mrs. Harold Tinney was escorted from her seat in the state dining room, reportedly suffering from virus "bug." One of President Eisenhower's heart doctors, Gen. Thomas W. Mattingly, also a dinner guest, attended to Mrs. Simpson.

Mattingly told reporters Mrs. Simpson's trouble was a "very rapid" heart beat which had frequently in the past and was more annoying for her than serious. The President's physician, Dr. Howard McC. Snyder was summoned from his apartment to attend Mrs.

Simpson. Both were so unobtrusive that few of the 78 dinner guests and none of the some 200 others invited to the post-dinner musicale noticed that anything was amiss. The Eisenhowers earlier had been disappointed by the illness caused absences of two West Berlin Mayor Gets Soviet Threat If Ever Captured BERLIN UPI East Germany's official newspaper attacked West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandttoday as a "Quisling." It was a veiled threat of personal vengeance should the outspoken free Berlin leader ever fall into Communist The Communist Party newspaper Neues Deutschland taunted Brandt with the claim that President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles would be unable or unwilling to protect him. It reminded "what the Norwegian people did to Vidkun Quisling," the Nazi traitor in Norway who was shot by a firing squad after the liberation. Brandt was an anti-Nozi who escaped to Norway, adopted Norwegian citizenship and fought in the anti-Navd underground inNorway.

He came back after the war to become the symbol of freedom to West Berliners who gave him an overwhelming vote of confidence in the recent municipal elections. Neues Deutschland threw his temporary Norwegian nationality back at him in an editorial suggesting the Communists would like to capture him. Neues Deutschland's blus- tering threats followed the new hard line set down by Russia Thursday night. In an official communique the Soviet, government had warned that any Western move to break through a new Berlin blockade would be considered an act of war by the Soviet and its allies. Chervl Crane Is Doing Well SANTA MONICA, Calif.UPI -Cheryl Crane, IS.daughterof actress Lana Turner, is making good progress and will remain in the custody of her maternal grandmother for at least six more months.

She will a ward of the court while in her grandmother's custody, Lynch said. Neither Miss Turner nor Cheryl's father, restaurant owner Stephen Crane, objected to Cheryl remaining with Mrs. Mildred Turner, the grandmother.

TELEVISION IN REVIEW By William Ewald NEW YORK UPI-Ever since "Kraft Theatre" sank the Titanic a couple of semesters back, there has been a small but steady TV traffic in the recreation of actual events. "Climax" bumped off Albert Anastasia last season and "Playhouse 90" knocked off Josef Stalin this season. I seem to remember, too, Lincoln getting shot again in a CBS-TV spectacular and such tidbits as the burning of the HindGnburg, the journey of Hurricane Diane and even the dispatching of Rasputin, the mad monk. It was inevitable, I suppose, that TV would get around to a tasty event like the 1929 St. Valentine's Day massacre in Chicago in which seven associates of one "Bugs.

"Moran were sent to their heavenly reward or reasonable facsimile tfiereof. Thursday night, CBS-TV's "Playhouse 90" succumbed inevitable. Whether the resulting vehicle "Seven Against The Wall," was a drama is perhaps open to dispute. It seems to me it more closely resembled a piece of reportage with dramatized parts, whatever that means. But its classification is not too important.

What is important is that much of the 90 minutes was pretty fascinating stuff, particularly the opening portion of the show which struck me as hard and crunchy. And despite a certain amount of sag around the middle when the program's "matter-of- fact" approach began to sound a little like a parody of itself, I would say it remained fairly absorbing. I counted a cast of 44 and then quit counting. Most of them filled their posts quite adequately although there were a handful who seemed a bit too actorish- precise enunciation, studied carriage to be playing fusilliers of the underworld. I liked particularly Frank Silvera as "Serrello" and Milton Frome as "Heyer." I was captivated, too, by Paul.

Lambert who played Al Capone, chough every once in a while I got die wild feeling that he was imitating Sid Caesar. THe principal star, of 'was Franklin Schaf-fner, who directed the play with wondrous skill. SHORT SHOTS: ABC-TV "Leave It To Beaver" Thursday night was an appeal- patch of family comedy. NBC-TV's "Behind Closed Doors" turned out a routine If you were puzzled by the needless plug for the book, "You Can't Mail An Elephant," on Thursday night's CBS-TV "December Bride," you can credit it to the fact that the show's advisor just happeded to write it.

NEW YORK UPI The continuing struggle over the racial integration of schools was chosen by editors of United Press International today as the biggest news story of 1958.
