Recent Policy The speaker criticized re i administrations since World War II to comprehend the nature of the revolution, and its potentialities for good and evil, has reaped a bitter har vest todav and it is by rights and by necessity a major foreign policy campaign issue that has nothing to do with anti-Communism." While absolving the Republicans of blame for th instability of French governments, the Senator denied the Administration any credit for the edath of Joseph Stalin, the present hydrogen bomb stalemate and basic changes in Soviet foreign policy tjiat followed the death of the dictator. "The sooner we clear out all such nonsensical charges and claims by both sides, the sooner we can get to the real issues," he said.

Poignant Study One must emphasize that this picture is a departure i- from the ordinary lines of popular entertainment. Like the subject dealt with, this is indeed a work of art, the remarkable and poignant study of a man, who lived in a mnrH miiri his nwn. far from the normal channels of happiness.

Kennedy yesterday appealed for an hon est, unemotional discussion of foreign policy Issues com pletely free from what he called "partisan distortion, exaggerated or oversimplification." In a speech before the Los Angeles World Affaire Coun cil at the Biltmore, the" Mas sachusetts Democrat decried the campaign emphasis to date on "breadbasket or "pocketbook" issues. Instead, he suggested that more care ful consideration be given to foreign policy "We shall have no pocket- books and no campaigns and nothing else if we fail to mas ter these complex and gloomy issues, he stated. Cites Big Issues Saying there are no major differences between Republi cans and Democrats on the dominant issue of war and peace, the Senator warned against oversimplifying U.S. foreign policy into simply a question of the battle against Communism.

lead to worldly acclaim, but he had broken himself on the wheel of his bitter and violent soul searchings by then. In one fit of rage he even mutilated himself by cutting off a portion of his ear. In another phase he asked that he be committed to an asylum for the insane. In the end he administered death to himself with a revolver. Invokes Rare Beauty Somehow there is nothing dreary about these happenings.

The picture constantly invokes the most rare beauty and most penetrat ing humanness to enlight-en its darker landscape. A strange figure of a man, and also, a very strange art ist is the- one that Douglas brings to -the screen in his stellar portrayal, which re dounds to his highest credit. Here the actor has really made a valiant effort to delve into a character and bring him keenly and assailingly into clear relief for his au dience. His portrayal is one that will be recognized for Academy honors. To Anthony Quinn goes an other bright accolade for his forceful impersonation of Gauguin, so often at odds wun tne central cnaracter, but basically his much-sought friend.
