Regardless of the- 17th Amendment, however, and talk of direct election of presidents, there is no doubt what the Constitution's authors thought of political democracy.

Joshua Logan's direction reflects what could be justifiably called a sensitive touch, and Playwright Paul Osborn's script, though it says little new about romance between the races, has warmth, conviction, poignancy, humor and no small measure of infectious charm.

All of these qualities are effec-ti'-ely brought out by some first-rate performances including a distinctive portrayal by Marlon Brando in top form and a sound supporting job by Red Buttons, who'll surprise those who remember him as a free-wheeling TV comic and are further enhanced by the beautiful photography of authentic Japanese locations. Audiences who see this film will have no trouble seeing why it's being frequently mentioned as a front-runner in the upcoming Academy Award derby. If you're a devotee of vintage movies, you'll be interested to know that a rare collection of old films will have its final local screening Friday at 8 p. m. in the St.

Ignatius School auditorium on West Oltorf Street Represented on the two-hour program are such classic comedians as W. C. Fields, Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton and the Keystone Kops plus a selection of highlights from the famed "Birth of a Nation" and assorted other fare. The antique movies were rounded up by Jim Maloy, a projectionist at the Austin Theater, and are being screened by him as a benefit for Boy Scout Troop 33. 2 ning time: 2 hours, 27 minutes.

Based on the James A. Michener novel of the same title (which means "goodbye" in Japanese), the story centers around an American Air Force major who must weigh matters of the heart against those of the military and decide whether true love or convention will determine the outcome of his romance with a Japanese girl. Ills dilemma starts when, after failing to talk one of his men out of marrying a native girl, he serves as best man at the ceremony and becomes friendly with the couple.

Observing their warm, genuine relationship perhaps makes him especially receptive to the charms of a Japanese musical star he happens to see, but at any rate, he's soon enmeshed in an interracial romantic problem of his own one complicated by the facts that the US military has not yet okayed such affairs, that the girl is a dedicated performer not permitted the luxury of love (or even of socializing with men), that his fiancee is the daughter of his commanding general and that he himself, being a West Pointer and the son of a topranking general, isn't altogether free of traditions to uphold. In essence, the situation confronting the major is only an updated and expanded variation on the "Madame Butterfly" theme, yet it has become the ACTION THRILLERS!

POLAR'S SAV-A-CHECK SHOW PARTY STAGE SHOW and COMEDIES Hours Of FUN AND PRIZES TOO no The Founding Fathers deliber ately rejected democracy as undesirable and established the United States as a representative republic, specifically guaranteeing to each state a republican form of government (Article IV, Section 4) In contrast to the democratic or head-counting political form which the Constitution rejected, the Republican form is properly defined like this: A state in which the sovereign power resides in the people (qualified voters) and is exercised by representatives elected by them. James Madison was effective in steering the Constitution away from democracy. He expressed the fear that democracy favored the self-seeking maneuvers of factions or blocs within a political party.

The journal of constitutional discussion indicates that the authors did not reject democracy because it was bad of itself. They rejected democracy more because it was deemed unsuitable to a nation already so large in area and numerous in population as the combining 13 Colonies. These facts are intimately related to the national and congressional discussion expected this year seeking more satisfactory processes of nominating and electing presidents of the United States.

WILSON WASHINGTON (UP) Among the bogus ideas which befuddle the citizens is the belief that back there in the 13th Century the founding fathers set up the United States with democracy as its form of government. The Founding Fathers did. no such thing. There is, in fact, no good word in the United States Constitution for the political system known asdemocracyin which the tellers count all the heads, empty or not, and give the decision to the most numerous.

Political orators and others, even including editorial writers, continue, however, to sound off with such deathless phrases as: This great democracy, and bo forth. TV WORLD By CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK (fl-A fine filmed account of Marian Anderson's tour of Asian countries on See It Now (CBS-TV) was first-class entertainment simply because the viewing audience heard and Eaw Miss Anderson singing. But the program was more than that. It was a moving document of what one woman, traveling 35,000 miles under auspices of the State Department and the American National Theatre and Academy, was able to do in winning friends for the nation. A viewer could con clude that one Miss Anderson can be more influential than two Sputniks.

The See It Now program Monday evening reminded one that the influence of women is too seldom observed on television. An excellent letter to this department earlier in thr yppfr gvprowri. similar viewpoint. It's well worth quoting: Tve just now with the help of tranquilizers settled down after exposure to three 1957 news critiques by three major networks for three hours last Sunday. I sat, sinking lower and lower in my chair and in my spirits as the far- flung correspondents, called in from all points of the globe, ex pertized and analyzed and took pontifical dim-views.

When it was all over I realized that, in all the welter of disturbing intelligence flooding my living room, not one woman's voice had been raised, not one woman's face had been shown, not one woman's viewpoint expressed. "Global thinking (and didn't a woman, Mrs. Clare Boo the Luce, coin the word 'globaloney'?) in this past year of crisis involves arms and men, politics and Sputniks, but without any leavening. And I think the grim, frightening picture painted on my TV. screen was completely out of focus-really only half a picture.

"It may be true that we've lost stature among our allies; that Russia is making great strides; forward in many areas; that our foreign policy is nothing but a series of errors heading toward disaster. But any woman can tell bad a state as the networks' boy thinkers say." HOLLYWOOD Iff) What happens when a movie star bares her feelings on life after death? "It was one of the most remarkable reactions I've ever experienced," reports Deborah Kerr. Recently Miss Kerr, along with a Nobel Prize winner and an American senator, penned her reflections on what happens to human beings after they die. The story, released by The Associated Press, was printed widely. The actress had done the story and forgotten about it.

But she was soon reminded the morning the story broke. "The first tiling I knew about it was when Paul Coates called me," she said, referring to the TV interviewer. "He wanted me to go on the air and tell my thoughts about immortality." She politely declined. "Then I started getting phone calls by the dozens," she said. "Nedda Logan, the wife of Josh Logan, called and told me she had cut the story out and pasted it on cardboard to save until the day when her daughter would ask her what happens when people die.

"Rocky (Mrs. Gary) Cooper called me and many others. Most of them were people you know casually at parties but seldom hear from. "Whenever I go out socially, the story always comes up. People are always telling how refresh- ing it was.

The unusual thing is that I get these comments from people of all religions." Another result: the offer from a publisher to buy an "inspirational book for women" written by Miss Kerr. "I had to decline," she said. "To write a book like that would require recording all your thoughts over a long period. I'm just too busy for that. It took me a weeK oi soiia inimung 10 rouna up my thoughts on life after death." On her time off from "Separate through "a mountain of mail" that resulted from the story.

"Oddly enough, all of the letters so far are complimentary," she commented.
