THE GUARDIAN Friday March 31 1967 7 Haver Isles oFScilly'ft TELEVISION by Stanley Reynolds Taking the Rein to berth at Milford Haven by MARK ARNOLD-FORSTER 1 Hgr i BAY OP BISCAY I 0 Miles 20o Cdpe Ffmsten "PIGHTEEN minutes late on a run from Alexandria, Egypt, the tanker Rein of Tromso berthed at Milford Haven yesterday morning with 34,615 tons of crude. She is the second ship into the BP ocean terminal since the Torrey Canyon failed to appear and take berth. The Rein passed the -Torrey Canyon and the turmoil surrounding the Scillies and the rocks quietly in the night Her master, a self possessed Norwegian called Fareli Sorgard, is not afraid of them. This voyage he had no electronic aid to navigation. The Rein is comparatively old and her voyages are comparatively long.

She does not have the Decca navigator, which sh6ws you exactly your position when you are near the British Isles. And on this trip there was no radar either. It went bad in the Mediterranean. But in any case Captain Sorgard would have had no occasion to use it navigationally. What he did this trip is what he always does anyway, which is to use the stars, the sun, and such old fashioned and generally untemperamental instruments as the radio direction finder and the echo sounder.

Electronics are a help to him but nothing can actually go wrong with Rigel or Capella. Captain Sorgard is a careful man. The Rein is smaller than the Torrey Canyon, but it still draws 36ft. 6in. of water, its service speed is 16 knots, and with full power astem its stopping distance is just over one mile.

The captain does not like to be uncertain about the ship's position. He took his departure from a point to seaward of Cape Finisterre at 15 55 hours on Tuesday afternoon. The position was 42deg. 28min. N.

lOdeg. 4min. W. This was obtained with certainty by radio bearings on the radio beacons at Finisterre and Cape Sillero, south of Vigo. The course set was due north.

At 18 00 Captain Sorgard altered course to 015 deg.itrue to take him through a position 40 miles west of the Bishop Mr Wilson (or Mr Heath) combated hecklers rather than this programme which was merely bits and pieces, a rag-bag of politicians facing a rag-bag of hecklers. As Lord Soper said on Late Night Line-Up the best hecklers are the ones that stop you in your tracks like the man who asked him last week "Who washed up after the Last Supper The Torrey Canyon, understandably, is still playing a big part in television news and ITN is still beating the BBC with inventiveness and dash. For example, last night, Reporting '67 grim a record of the harm to wildlife as possible merely by showing a woman attempting to wash a guillemot in her kitchen' sink and saying how the major damage was done by the oil rotting the birds' guts. RedifEusion's "This Week" last night also struck a note of grim rape of nature with Peter Scott saying that one entire generation of bird life would be killed off' by the oil, and a fisherman suggesting that the mackerel would turn tail and. run.

to sea rather than swim into the oil, but adding How can shellfish turn tail As 'good as BBC-2's "The Money Programme might have been about the involved in the Torrey Canyon disaster, it could not measure up to the Squeeze of Nature put out in the other programmes. would be easy to shrug aside BBC-l's "The Hecklers" as the shop-floor-meets-the-university-debating-society, which is what too many of us probably think about hecklers anyway. It may be flattering for an American film maker like Joseph Strick to bother to show what a great and gentlemanly democracy Britain is. (Wilson getting pelted by Tory tracts and saying: "I am sorry but your aim is no better than your material, my But it was as if he had gone to a dozen dramatic plays and filmed only the catharsis. Mr Strick tries to make out that hecklers are a peculiarly British thing.

I have seen Harry wight Eisenhower, Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, and John Kennedy as well as Mr Heath and Mr Wilson handled by and handling hecklers, and in fairness I must say that Mr Truman. Mr Kennedy, and, above all others, Mr Wilson handle them the best. It is something that is faced by all politicians in a democracy, but in Britain it has been brought up to (or down to) a fine art I cannot say that I have ever seen anything as masterful as Mr Wilson on hustings facing the hecklers in 1964 and 196B. Perhaps British wit is specifically made for heckling and, one must remember, for combating it. Be that as it may, I would have rather seen a whole programme about how Rock.

He did this because there were radio warnings of naval activity round the Seven, Stones and the wreck of the Torrey Canyon. At 02 34 the third mate, being on watch and having a good horizon, took simultaneous observations of Regulus and which showed the ship's position to be 43deg. 44min. N. 9deg.

44min. SV. Observations of heavenly bodies will only provide a position line showing the observer's distance from the pointjon the earth's surface directly beneath the body observed. The of a star sight is that two observations can be made at once giving two position lines which cross at the ship's. exact position.

On Wednesday morning, still steering OlSdeg. Captain Sorgard obtained position lines from observations of the sun. At 09 06 the first gave an estimated position of 46deg. 52min. N.

Sdeg. 37min. W. Transferring this position line to another (by moving it the distance and direction which the ship had steamed in the meanwhile) at 11 10 the ship's position could be given with more certainty then as 47deg. 22min.

N. 8deg. 28min. W. At 13 38 the sun was on the meridian (the ship's clocks were not set to solar time) and the third position line obtained then combined with the transferred results of the others to give a position of 47deg.

58min. N. 8deg. 20min. W.

6 At 15 12 the echo sounder showed the ship to be crossing the 100-fathom line and a simultaneous sun sight gave a position of 48deg. 21min. N. 7deg. 58min.

W. At 20 30 the Rein was able to get the first of a series of bearings on the Round Island (Isles of Stilly) radio beacon and the captain altered course to 041deg. true for St Ann's Head outside Milford Haven. He made this decision partly because he was beginning to encounter a fresh north-west wind. He calculated that this would drive the Torrey Canyon's oil south eastward.

Also the radio message about the Torrey Canyon operation nad led him to believe that there would be warships in the neighbourhood to warn him off if necessary. In the event no sign of the Torrey Canyon operation was seen. A series of radio bearings of Round Island at 21 27, 22 09, and 22 45 were used for a running fix of the ship's position. When a ship's course and speed over the ground are known the rate at which the bearing of a single beacon changes makes it possible to calculate the ship's distance from the single beacon. In the event after cross-' ing the Bay of Biscay, the Rein passed 42 miles west of Bishop Rock instead of 40.

At 23 51 a radio fix was obtained by simultaneous bearings of Round Island and the radio beacon at RAF St Mawgan which had then become audible. It showed the ship on course for St Ann's Head. The last observation of the voyage was made at 23 00 when the azimuth bearing of several stars was taken to check that there was still no error in the gyro compass. St Ann's Head was sighted over the jackstaff in the bows at 04 00 yesterday morning. The Rein sails again today for the Persian Gulf for orders, but under another master.

Captain Sorgard is going on holiday. He does not think of himself as specially meticulous. But tankers carry' heavy cargoes and are fast ships and, he says, navigation is the art of keeping on checking. RELATIVELY SPEAKING at the Duke of York's Theatre by Philip Hope-Wallace to see her old protector and settle up with him finally about her love letters, etc. pretends mat this address is the home of her parents.

Greg goes down uninvited and assumes the rather vague elderly childless couple he finds in their sunny garden to he Ginny's dear father and mother. Ginny herself arrives. A oursided game of deception then has to be played and the wonder is that it goes without flagging right to the end. Richard Briers as the callow, accommodating Greg is delightful Jennifer Hilary puts a good edge on the girl. Michael Hordern agonises as- the ex-protector forced to play the baffled "father" and Celia Johnson's all-vague lady-like surprise and innocent misapprehensions are completely in control of the situation.

The play is as good -as vintage Labiche. ALAN AYCKBOURN'S new comedy Relatively Speaking is a tear-away success at the Duke of York's Theatre. He can thank the direction of Nigel Patrick which is tirelessly inventive and dextrous and some very neat and expert comedy playing from a hand-picked cast of four. But the skill with which he milks a simple situation of mistaken identity and cross purposes for two hours of continuous laughter is his own, and richly deserves the kind of response it is sure to awake for a long time to come. Roughly and in short Greg wants to marry Ginny who is' a girl who has been having an affair recently with her boss.

Greg finds the man's address in the country scribbled in her packet of fags. Ginny, lying she has intended to go down NEW FILMS reviewed by Richard Roud MacNAGHTEN CONCERT at the Purcell Room by Edward Greenfield Paul SeofieU ts Sir Thomat lion me to justify the view that there are oceans of development and range -still unexplored in the world of. twelve-note serialism" On that I certainly agree, and the self-imposed disciplines of' the writing communicate themselves to the listener, whether intuitively or not even at a-first hearing. Discipline is not of course enough by itself to -make good music, and Frankel's musical imagination does not always sustain the initial good impressions, but there are many memorable moments, particularly in the two interlude movements, which; come second and fourth in the five-movement scheme. The brief fourth movement is specially attractive with its hints of a slow 1I7HAT finally convinced me of the validity of twelve-note serialism was not so much its successful application by Schoenberg, Webern, and Berg, as my personal discovery (by practical experiment) that it is perfectly possible to apply the basic rules strictly and still retain conventional tonality.

Schoenberg's own purpose in devising his twelve-note system may have been to rid music of the dominance of any one note over the other eleven of the chromatic scale, but it seems to me more important that twelve-note, serialism can be used like this simply as a discipline, comparable with traditional disciplines of tonal counterpoint and TOWARDS THE END of the thirties Hollywood, and Jn particular Warner Brothers, went in for a long series of biographical and historical films: "The Life of Louis Pasteur," Emile Zola," etc. These were In general enthusiastically received in America as proof that Hollywood was "coming of age." As the late James Agee wrote about one of them, however, "Tennessee Johnson" is another of those screen biographies for which thousands of cultivated people will lay aside JaVm for an evening, because they like to feel benevolent towards a really good movie. With the recent "Becket" and now with this week's A Man for All Seasons (Odeon, Haymarjcet), we may be seeing the beginning of another such cycle. The reviews for "A Man for All Seasons have been close to ecstatic In America; it has been nominated for innumerable Academy Awards, and will probably get them. Like Tennessee Johnson it has been qualified as the kind of.

film that makes you think." What is generally meant is that this kind of film makes you think you ought to, think in fact, it provides no real matter for thought at all. The struggle between Sir Thomas More and Henry VIII has been so simplified that its only conclusion is that it is a bad thiig to tell a lie" even if it means getting your head cut off. On the philosophical level this Is no more profound or thought-provoking than Batman." However and! thi? is a big however "A -Man for All Seasons is a good film, competently made extremely well acted. Paul Scofield rlever suggests the "author of "Utopia," bill that is the fault of the screenplay he does give a finely worked out and convincing and he is ably supported by Wendy Hiller, Robert one Has witnesed a play about ideas; things go wrong. Underneath all the jokes, the satire is amazingly bitter, and it is only Morse's personality that keeps this a comedy.

But then, the best comedies constantly hover on the brink of the serious, and the true art of the comedian is to take us as close as possible to the edge without actually falling in. The supporting cast are fine, too, and include Rudy Vallee (remember as the President of World Wide Wicket Corporation Michel Lee, as a secretary Maurene Arthur as the boss's mistress and the excellent Anthony Teague as the bpss's cry-baby nephew. Direction is' neat (David Swift) with "visual gags" and there are quite a few credited to the cartoonist Virgil Partch. However, I suppose I should point out that this is a musical comedy, and, frankly, the songs are as unmemorable as they come. On the other hand, they are no worse than those ditties sung by Alan Jones and Kitty Carlisle id the old Marx Brothers films, and they serve the same function: little rest periods between convulsions of laughter.

I don't know about you, but I needed them! The' funniest film of the year. Starting April 9, there will be a Soviet, Film Week at the Classic Cinema, Baker Street Showing one film per day, the week opens with Eoslntzev's "Hamlet" Of the others I can recommend I Walk Around Moscow" (April a sort of Russian new-wave film with great charm Shadows of Our Forgotten Ancestors" (April 12), an amazingly adventurous Romeo and Juliet story set in the high Carpathians. Don-skoi's Mother's Heart (April 15) sounds interesting, but I haven't seen it, and "Beware Automobile" (April 14) features Smoktunovksy, the star of "Hamlet" as a car thief. Shaw, Leo McKern, and Orson Welles. One is never actually bored, and there are many pretty moments.

As with some of Shaw's plays one comes out with the illusion that one has witnessed a play about ideas, Instead, one has actually experienced a playing with ideas, to which a suitably memorable moral has been appended if you want to keep your integrity, you've got to say no to the boss occasionally. You can try to keep this from hurting you too much, and if you're smart, you will probably, given the reluctance of most big corporations to behead its employees, pet away with it. But shed a tear for Sir Thomas More who, living in barbarous times, didn't WHEN THE STAGE version of "How to Succeed- in Business Without Really Trying" opened in London a year ago, I told all my friends to go I had found the Broadway production the previous year one of the funniest shows I had seen in a long time. But when a lot of them came back from the Shaftesbury Theatre with long faces, I could only conclude that without the Broadway star, Robert Morse, it just didn'twork; Now, seeing the film version of How to Succeed In Business (Astoria) I am sure this must have been the case. For happily, Morse is once again the star, and the film is very, very entertaining.

Of course, a lot depends on your. reaction to him: for me, he is the best comedian to appear since Jack Lemmon. Short, boyish, with angelic blue eyes which hide depths of malice, he is the ideal choice for this fable of how to become the ideal company man make up to the boss's ugly secretary; avoid the boss's luscious girl-friend play it humble, lie, cheat and, above all, always find some- sentimental waltz that never quite emerges. narmony.
