Kimball St. RE 4-3132 Attlee Sees Necessity of World Rule Human Race Lives in 'Tempered Speaker Contends Post-Crescent News Service Milwaukee Some form of world government is the "only way out" for the human race which is living in a "world of tempered former British Prime Minister Clement Attlee told a Milwaukee audience Mon nd a night. Attlee said his experiences during 20 years as head of Britain's labor party and six years as chief minister of the British government convinced him that world government is not only necessary but a "practical possibility." Describing himself as a political realist, Attlee expressed the belief that the cold war between the communist and free worlds does not necessarily have to end in a hot war.

Arguing that "you have to get along with people you don't he used examples of how political opinions had changed in England during his lifetime as a basis for his belief that both communist peoples and their leaders will eventually "begin something about civilization." Fail to Influence you refuse to have anything to to to to to to to to do with someone, you fail to to to to to to to influence he arto to gued in an apparent reference to U.S. policy of. refusing to recognize red China. He compared the cold war with the Thirty Years war, which seemed insoluble while it was on but eventually was ended with the Treaty of Westphalia. It is no longer just desirable to end war -it is an absolute necessity if the human race is to survive, Attlee a declared.

The only way we can accomlaw enforced by some plish this is through amorid force. The United Nations, which he helped to found at San Francisco in 1945, cannot do this because it was founded on the basis of independent nations, he said. The UN should have a police force in which men enlist as UN soldiers and not as representatives of individual countries. What Good? "Everything was very agreeable back there in 1945 at San Francisco," the speaker recalled. "There sat Sen.

Vandenberg, there sat Molotov, there I sat. Vandenberg said OK, Molotov said OK, I said OK. But what good did it do?" Attlee compared America's emergence from isolationism to Britain's several centuries earlier. "The time has gone when we or you can sit on the sidelines and watch other people fight," he asserted. He predicted that before very long many other countries besides the U.S., Britain and the U.S.S.R.

would have atomic weapons; "We just can't afford to have these dangerous weapons in irresponsible hands." A United Nations with power to enforce its decrees is the only way to avoid this, he said. Attlee, who spoke under the auspices of the Milwaukee Town Hall association, was introduced by Mayor Frank Ziedler. Deto from 0.3.

Trusts Preserve Estate, Bank Official Explains An estate can be transmitted from generation to generation under a trust setup, Lawrence Schreiter, trust officer of then Appleton State Bank, told Optimist club Monday, noonrust without retained interest is a means of reducing estate taxes, the bank official noted. He listed four principal reasons for setting up a trust: 1. Lack of confidence in the beneficiary's ability to manage property, or a desire to protect against such inadequa- 2. To prevent a beneficiary from disposing of the property.

3. To continue a business in safe hands and assure income. 4. Reluctance to forego control over the funds, even aftdeath. Schreiter suggested naming a corporate trustee be(cause it assures permanent management of the estate.

An individual might die before a trust goes into effect, he said. He advised consultation with an attorney, insurance counselor or trust specialist before setting up a trust.

One of Mrs.

Fischer's definitely "not easy" moments came this summer when Bobby appeared to be stranded in Yugoslavia after his first international tournament.

GEENEN'S 3rd Floor BY JAY JOSLYN Post-Crescent Staff Writer The program being presented by the Lawrence College theater at 8:15 each evening this week is a showcase of style and a fine example of what collegiate theater should be. The double bill of 1-acters has as much contrast as possible and each has its special value, although neither would necessarily meet the needs of a community theater in any respect dependent on commercial success. The curtain-opener, Eugene Scribe's, J.F.A.

Bayard's "A Peculiar Position," is an example of 19th century stylized comedy whose value, aside from its inherent entertainment, is historical. Strong Meat The meat of the programand it is strong meat, hung fresh and still throbbing is "Endgame," by the contemporary, and controversial Samuel Beckett. It is a mood piece with darkling atmosphere difficult to shake even outside the Memorial union theater. The fact that this is the first non-professional production of the piece makes it an event, the virtuosity of the 4-member cast elevates it to a must for any serious fan of the stage. Strange Characters Comments heard in the lobby after the show indicate the piece has scope and depth not easily discerned.

Be that as it may, on the surface it deals with four persons waiting to die in a world gone dead. Two of the characters have lost all but their torsos and live in ash cans. Another has gone blind and is restricted to a wheelchair by other injuries. The last is mobile, was afraid the Chess federation wouldn't go on paying for him after the tournament had ended. "I went to the Yugoslav embassy but it was the weekend and I couldn't find anybody.

I tried to call Bobby, but they said he had left by train. Travel Troubles "I was really worried. I knew he was loaded down with books and I didn't see how he could manage. He doesn't speak the languages. Norfolk Ballot On Integration Expected High Norfolk, Va.

-P- Norfolk voters decide today whether they want six closed white secondary schools returned to the city for integrated operation. A vote of between 22,000 and 25,000 was forecast, with some experienced political servers predicting a 3-2 margin against petitioning Gov. Lindsay Almond, to return the schools. Registration lists show 40,758 whites and 8,540 Negroes eligible to vote. The informational referendum is not binding on city council or on Almond.

At least five of the seven council members have indicated they will act on the basis of a majority vote. The three junior high and three senior high schools were closed Sept. 29 under Virginia's anti integration laws when the city school board bowed to a federal court desegregation order and enrolled 17 Negroes. Thursday Last Day to Send Overseas Mail Thursday is the deadline for mailing cards and packages to members of the armed forces overseas. Postmaster Francis Sumnicht reports.

But Bobby used his tournament prize money to get to Munich where he found plane space home.

Chess is not a popular game and there are no funds to send the American champion to tournaments. Bobby won two tickets to Yugoslavia on a television program. His 21-yearold sister, Joan, took the second. "Bobby doesn't like the idea of his mother going around with him to tournaments. Besides, I figured it would be better for me to be here in case anything was neededmoney, primarily." laughed ruefully a slender, dark-haired woman with a smiling mouth in a gamin face.

The Fischers separated when Bobby was 2 and Mrs. Fischer raised her two children on her earnings as a nurse. Not Disciplined "I don't discipline Bobby. He's too big. Anyway, there's not much to say.

He's serious. has to study all the time. The countries publish pamphlets and books at a great ratenew openings always being worked out.

"He's not interested in girls yet they don't play chess. He doesn't smoke or drink. He does chew his nails down the bone, but I'm afraid to make him stop. I don't know what he might take up. "Some of those chess players twitch all over.

Honest. They start with an eye twitch down to their feet and start again. I'd, rather he chewed his nalis." "The only thing I do is nag him to get some fresh air.

"I don't know a thing about chess. In fact, I tried to make him stop for four years. But I've given up now." but his injury has forced him into the physical attitude of his primordial ancestors. Planted in exact center stage in a throne-like chair is Ham, the master of the house, played superbly by Karl Schmidt. His is the pivotal role.

He directs the action, fights his pain, rationalizes conscience, sustains the his, routine and seeks to add dignity and meaning to the senseless prolongation of the inevitable end. It is an actor's dream role which must been a nightmare to Schmidt have. held the audience as he wove the moody cloak of atmosin what amounts to a gigantic soliloquy. His immobility pointed up the eloquence of his hands and the coloring and shading of his voice. Sides of Coin Joseph Holsen as the apelike servant-son accomplished the equally-difficult chore of sustaining complete control.

The two were opposite sides of a coin, both finely minted to set off the artistry of the other. The remaining characters were Ham's parents, played by Sarah Keller and Carter Johnson, who added cruel touches of pathos that could have been shattered into bathos in less controlled hands. Their reminiscing of long lost joys in nearly querulous voices struck a middle ground between Schmidt's eloquence and Holsen's stolidity and they successfully overcame the difficulty of playing from such unusual settings as ash cans. Provocative Work Ever since Beckett burst onto the world's stage with his "Waiting for Godot" there has been a suspicion there is an underlying current to his work that affords it depth bordering on greatness. Whether the expatriate Irishman working in France has produced two allegories of great if unintelligible meaning or two exercises of merely personal meaning, the works are exciting and provocative.

There never was any argument of the depth of Scribe's wotk. It is fun and then as. now it is the performance rather than the play that is the thing. The unsuspecting dupe snared in the present frivolity is played by Carroll Gonzo, whose sense of style and timing makes one nearly wish insanity set in polished elegance would again become the mode. Unfettered Enthusiasm Arthur Ullian in the busybody major domo role that has been part and parcel of this genre since Malvolio, also captured the unfettered enthusiasm demanded by these puffs.

The rest of the cast, Dennis O'Flyng, Celoris Hackbart, Mary Adams, Jon Pearl, Grechen Affeldt and William Mack, filled their typical niches typically. The trigger for the "grand" recognition scene failed to be noted on the program, but the fire and shrewishness Rene Barbeau brought to her scenes should not go without attention. Director F. Theodore Cloak, his designer, Joseph Hopfensperger, and Lighting Supervisor Michael Roth mounted the double bill with apt taste and helped get the Lawrence season off to what promises to be an exciting year.
