Two leading lied Playwrights Fall From Grace

Moscow, ii'teuiers)—'I‘wo leading Russian playwrights have fallen imm the Kremlin's' graces.

An announcement published in the Literary Gazette and Komso- moi Pravda Thursday said Anatoli Surov and Nikolai Virta. who are in the top echelon oi Soviet drama- iisis, were expelled by the writers union praesidlum April 28. The ex- piiision followed the publication oi iiewspaper articles severely criti- tizing their conduct.

Surov is best known ior a bitter satire on former President Harry Truman called "The Mad Haber- tlssher irom Missouri" and Vlrta is the author of a celebrated series ui plays on anti-American themes.

The announcement said that they and two minor writers. '1‘. Oslssnov and L. Koborov. "committed a number of immoral and anti-social icts incompatible with the name of A Soviet writer." Galsanov and Knrobov were also expelled.

A.\"I'I - SOCIAL CONDUCT

The writers union announcement declared that "neither high titles iinr merits can justify the anti- social or immoral conduct of lit- erary people. Soviet writers, guard- ‘Jig the authority or their collec- tl\'e organisation, will henceforth exclude from their ranks people who have stained the high name of a Soviet writer."

Explusion irom the union of so- \‘lct writers means that no theatre is in iuture likely to accept any work submitted by either Surov or Virta.

The action follows a. recent Soviet Dress campaign against both writ- rrs. Surov was named as “a habit- usl drunksrd" recently by Liter- Iry Gazette. the soviet writers’ acu‘sp.1pe1-,

3! VVILLIAM L. RYAN

NEW DELHI, (AP) —-The West- ern world has lost a decisive bat- tle in the cold war with the fall oi Dien Bien Phu. It marks the successiul end of one phase of the Communist drive in southeast Asia and opens a new one. But the outcome oi the historic battle also raises the serious question oi whether the West has not already lost the political war on the con- tinent oi Asia.

The iall of the isolated fortress. whose heroic defence has been watched anxiously by all leaders and governments in southeast Asia, must exert a. tremendous psychological eflect. Those who are iriends of the West in this vast strstegic area now will be less and less willing openly to assert such irlendahip. For iipportunlsts, and Southeast Asia has its iull quota oi political opportunlsts, Dien Bien Phu may well be the signal ior s Jump to what appears to be the winning side.

ENDS ONE PHASE

In Indo-China. Dien Bien Phu marks the end oi one military phase. Monsoon rains have come. But the whole area of the Tonkln delta. nominally French controlled. remains in grave danger. All through the rainy season the Com- munists can harass the delta de- fenders at will in preparation tor a rising which will come when and ii the Communists find it politic- ally expedlen-t.

In the Delta area. there are 30 battalions — abou-t 80,000 troops — of Vletminh, lb provincial battal- ions which handle local defences and provide a pool ior regulars; about 100 "district companies" oi jungle lighters and innltrators; some 60,000 Vietminh guerrillas.

RIDING UNDERGROUND

In l-lenoi-—and this by French high command calculations-there are several armed battalions in hiding underground waiting the signal for action. Thus the French hold on the vital area is most ten. uous. '

so far as Indo-China. is con- cerned the Communi.sts now are in the driver's seat. Any truce. cease-flre. or arrangement for ending the shooting leaves the Vietminh in a favored position. Ho Chi Minh's smashing victory can only enhance his political standing throughout Lndo-China, where careful observers are certain he already could command a vot- lng majority as a nationalist rath- er than a Communist leader. At the moment I-lo seems a predes- tined winner in any political set- tlement reached in Indochina.

GRAVE RESULTS

But the broader cfieot oi Dien Bien Phu's (all is likely to be grave.

First, the iall of Dien Blen Phu clears the Communist decks for completion oi the shift over irom violence and military tactics to political and psychological. not only in Vict Nam but in all south- east Asia.

Second. the fail oi Dien Blen Phu gives a boost to the morale oi Communist movements elsewhere throughout southeast Asia and will make Red leaders bolder. They are certain to turn their full attention toward deieating any attempt to bring about a deiensive grouping oi southeast Asia states.

WEST DEI-‘EATED

Dien men Phu meant this: the West as represented by France. is colonial power. chose to stand and invite a battle with an anti-colon- ial force. which is how Vietminh is widely regarded in Asia. despite its obvious Communist domina- tion. The challenge was met and the West was defeated.

Short oi another Korea now. and all Asia dreads another Korea on this continent. it will appear to Asians that nothing can be done to stem the tide oi Vletmlnh in Indo-Chins. -

What can be expected now?

All over Asia. except in Indo- china. Communist parties have been lying doggo. pulling in their horns. presenting themselves as champions oi “united national ironts against imperialism.“

This phase oi the Communist drive began in 1962 when instruc- tions went out to all Communist parties to transform themselves

into the appearance oi "patriots"

oi their own countries. ANTI-IMPEIIALIBM

It seems most likely that now there will be a great intensifica- tion oi this political and ostensible peaceful drive. There will be an attempt by Continua‘ ‘ to join with other parties under s. com- mon banner’ oi “an-ti-imperis.l- ism."

Moscow and Peiping rnust con- alder that time is on their side. They have plenty of it. Not. ready for s. shooting war, Moscow and Peiping apparently are basing their cslculsitions on long-range political victories and s subseq- uent economic -uceze against the ‘‘capitalist'' world. __1I,_,

Harpooniiig Whales from Helicopters To Be Discussed

OVITAWA. (OP)—Oenadian fish- ermen soon may be harpooning whales from the air.

Fisheries Minister Sinclair said in the Commons Friday that the possibility oi harpooning whales irom helicopters will be discussed in Tokyo at the next meeting oi the i'l-coun-try international whal- ing convention.

I-le said during discussion oi’ his departmental estimates that heli- copters now are used to spot whales but international regula- tions prevcnt harpooning. Any de- clsion to permit harpooning from helicopters was expected to help Canadian whaling operations at the Cold Harbor, B.C.. station.

Members oi all parties repre- senting east and west. coast con- stituencies complimented the min- ister on his 50-minute review. An- gus Maclnnls iOC‘.F'———Vancouver Kingswayi. among others said it was the best speech he had heard by a minister in a long ‘time.

Mr. Sinclair said the government is trying to promote new markets for Canadian cod in the Mediter- ranean area. A likelihood also appeared that another Common- wealth counitry—he did not men- tion whlch—wouid buy British Columbia salmon.

EAST BUSINESS IMPROVED

The east coast iishing industry was in a depressed condition last year but business had picked up. The market for salt cod had been strengthened with sales to Korea and Greece and it was hoped that sales in the Mediterranean area would result in further improve- ment.

Canada was anxious that terri- torial waters be extended beyond the present threc-mile limit. It was for this reason the government .kept trawlers 12 miles out and permitted clraggers to fish inshore waters.

He said Newfoundland. Nova Scotla, New Brunswick. Prince Edward Island and Quebec have

Smaliwood calls Fisheries Plan Biggest Joli

ST. JOHN'S. Nild.. (CP)—Pre- mier Smallwood Wednesday de- scribed “the tzizselt lob i-he sov- emment has ever tackled" as he spoke in a legislature debate dur- ing second reading of a bill to es- tablish the ilsheries development authority.

The proposed iisheries develop- mcnt. said the premier. “is the one big job left me in this ilie to lead the government that will make our iisheries and fishermen prosper."

The bill. when passed. will en- able the establishment oi a. three- man development authority with iuil control pver developins. mod- ernizing and centralizing the now- languishing fisheries.

The plan is for big modern plants at key points around the is- iands where town: will grow up. The authority, in many cases. will have control oi community plan- ning, churches. schoois, hospitals and housing. As a result oi this. said Mr. Smallwood. about 300 of the 500 settlements along the prov- inces northeast coast will disap- pear as the iishermen and their families move to new central points.

GREAT CHANGE

.'‘The tiaheries development pro- gram means economic rehabilita- tion for one-third oi our entire population . . . the biggest change in the 450 years of the fishery." "Our iishermen today are the most backward of the whole globe. with the exception of parts of Asia . . . our salt cod industry is doomed."

He said the northeast coast oi the province was in the worst con- dition as tar as iisheries were con- cerned and this new moderniza- tion scheme "would iree them iroin centuries of slavery." .

The project. iinancied jointly by the iederal and provincial govern- ments, will begin this year at Lacie. Later other new centres will be established. he said.

agreed to shorter seasons on At- lantic salmon as one way to re- store that fishery. His department believed the fishery could be re- vived as the salmon industry was on the west coast.

Sliced Bacteria May Be New Aid In Cancer Study

By FRANK CAREY

PI'i'."l:‘BBUR.GH, (AP) — sliced

bacteria. cut something like ba- loney, may be a new aid in the study oi normal and cancerous growth, a Princeton University scientist said today. Dr. George B. Chapman, de- scribing the iirst successiui pre- paration of germ slices thin and stable enough to allow resl pay- off study with an electron micro- scope, said the tecnloue already has provided new iniormatlon on cell division — one oi the basic mechanism of all growth.

He told the Society oi American Bacteriologists in a prepared pa- per that bacteria only 1-25.000ths of an inch around and only three times that long have been sliced lengthwise, as thin as 1.250,000th oi In inch.

The bacteria, imbedded in plas- tic. were attached to a. rotating wheel brought to bear against a stationery knlie. That's the re-

cleus of a germanium atom.

It was done by Prof. Charles Kittel and Prof. A. F. Kip of the physics department. The experi- ment may be oi value in learn- ing more about the iundamental

verse of most butchers’ meet slic- ers and while. in eiiect. the bac- teria are sliced like baloney, the slicing is done lengthwise instead of crosswise.

PABTIONING CLARIFIED

Chapman said studies oi these slices with sclence's super-sleuth- ing electron mlscroscope disclose new iniormation. when a single- celled bacterium; for instance. un- dergoes a kind of pinching — in process which eventually results in there being two germs instead of one, only a single layer oi material is involved in the “partloning" process. Formerly it was believed there were two such layers.

The scientist declared such lind- lngs represent contributions to- wards better understanding oi the basic nature oi the growth process ——a process he said holds the an- swers to such questions as "what makes a cell divide when it does divide and what makes some cells divide faster than others. as in cancer?"

And with the new technique. “we hope to learn more about the bacterial nucleus central core so that ultimately there might be better means oi attacking bac- teria."
