TV in Review By WILLIAM EWALD United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — "The Browning Version" is a typical Terence Rattigan play — slick, small-scaled, fluent, fluid and a superb parlor car for actors in search of trophies. Thursday night, John Gielgud and Margaret Leighton took up temporary lodgings on CBS-TV's DuPont Show of The Month, were presented with "The Browning Version," and promptly threw a party. The year is only four months old, but I would guess that both players — and Gielgud in particular — will bulk large on all those tedious prize-giving lists in December. "As a chunk of theatre, 'The Browning Version' is, of course, a marvelous piece of sleight of hand. It is an artificial bouncy game, a slab of glossy hokum, redeemed by its classy craftsmanship. Rattigan may not dig hard or deep or in original ground, but he knows his theatre—his constructions move and they play well. In an actor's theatre the proper credentials." There's not much need to go into the plot of "The Browning Version." As Rattigan rather laboriously indicate within the play, it bears a loose parallel to the Agamemnon legend — only in this case, the protagonist, an English schoolteacher, after having his spirit killed by his unfaithful wife, rises again like the DANCED "TIL DAWN — Still looking fresh, Princess Margaret leaves nightclub in Rome at 5 o'clock in the morning after a champagne and scrambled eggs party hosted by British Embassy Minister Henry Hohler (behind Margaret).

THALER United Press International —West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was meeting Italian prime minister Antonio Sorrentino in Giorgio Allies Hit New Plan on Germany By K.C. THALER United Press International LONDON (UPI) — The Western allies have cold-shouldered an American plan that would link a German peace treaty with the step by step unification of Germany, diplomatic sources reported today. East and West were hardening their positions in preparation for the May 11 foreign ministers conference in Geneva. Moscow issued a new blast accusing the United States of sabotaging the talks before they start. The Western jockeying on a united viewpoint represented this hardening of the allied approach as experts of America, Britain, France and West Germany studied plans for a package deal for the Geneva meeting. The allied group is now working on a new draft for a German peace treaty but has failed to reach agreement. The American plan was disliked by all three Western allies but for different reasons. The U.S. plan was reported to call for delaying a peace treaty for several years until West and East Germany can be united stage by stage. Each stage would be linked to agreed moves toward European security. Britain believes the plan follows too closely a 1955 Western proposal firmly and repeatedly rejected by Russia and offering no promising ground for negotiations. France and West Germany oppose it for fear the Communists might gain the upper hand in West Germany. There were these other major developments in the East-West dispute: — Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, speaking before a Conservative Party rally in Preston, warned that a summit conference is no cure-all for East-west difference. But he said such a meeting could mark the beginning of better relations. — West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was meeting Italian premier Antonio Segni in Granite di Cadenabbia, Italy, in an effort to produce a common Italian-German line on the Berlin and German problems. — Secretary of State Christian A. Herter and U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold conferred for 2½ hours Thursday in Washington on the German crisis. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Henry Cabot Lodge sat in on the meeting. Curiously enough, CBS-TV’s Playhouse 90 presented a Tad Mosel play, “A Corner of The Garden,” with a subsidiary theme very much like that of “The Browning Version” — the frustrated wife who de-masculinizes her husband. However, Mosel was writing a more complex play than Rattigan and while it lacked the buttery flow and didn’t play nearly as tightly as “The Browning Version,” Mosel’s effort was more honest and less formalized in its approach to its human beings. Mosel was dealing with a large chew of Idea in “A Corner of The Garden” — the strangling effects of what passes for normality, the man-woman war, the inadequacy of affection as a substitute for love, the hatred the imprisoned always feel for the free, the damaging effects of the bramped life, the impossibility of growth without freedom and self-understanding. “A Corner of The Garden” was written especially for Ellen Heckart and Hecky really booted ainner home. She had able supported her wife with an almost immoderately effective sense of the desperation of the caged slattern. And very mild, too, were all of the supporting players — Cecil Parker, Robert Stephens, Rhoden Street-Dc. James Valentine. I am tempted to say that supplied with such players, director John Frankenheimer didn’t have the do much more than point his cameras, but I know better. So mark down one credit for Frankenheimer who lubricated the peace’s parts with a beefy rhythm and a feel of immediacy. Are you one of the forty million owners of shares in America?

John L. McClellan (D-Ark.). Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss.) told newsmen he and several other Democrats from the South were having "serious second thoughts" about having supported the provision, which was approved Wednesday by a vote of 47-46. He said they were much disturbed over whether they gave the secretary of labor the same "scatter-gun power" to obtain injunctions that they denied the attorney general in civil rights legislation two years ago. It was reported a memorandum was being circulated among the southerners starting that the amendment might lead to enforced racial integration of labor unions in the South.

(UPI)—Actor Kirk Douglas told his wife he wouldn't be able to attend her birthday party Thursday night, but would send her a cake. The cake was a huge five-foot hollow job in which Douglas hid himself until the orchestra began playing "Happy Birthday" for Mrs. Anne Douglas. Then he lifted off the top and stood up. "She was the most surprised gal I've ever seen," said a guest.

Kennedy (D-Mass.) struggled to come up with a way to get rid of the McClellan amendment as the Senate drove to complete action on the measure by tonight. McClellan's was the only one of 17 amendments approved so far which Kennedy strongly opposed. AFL-CIO sources have threatened to oppose the bill if it stays in and Kennedy said the provision would jeopardize passage of the anti-corruption measure. Stennis and a group of other southerners held a whispered conference with Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) on the Senate floor Thursday night. Among them were Sens. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.), James O. Eastland (D-Miss.) and Strom Thurmond (D-S.C.). Almed At Teamsters McClellan indirectly won another victory Thursday night when the Senate, climaxing an 11-hour session, voted to add to the reform bill a ban on "hot cargo" contracts such as those used by the Teamsters Union. Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.) sponsored the amendment that was approved but McClellan had offered a similar one. He and Gore both said the provision was aimed at curbing the power of the Teamsters, chief target of McClellan's rackets committee. Gore's provision would prohibit common carriers operating across state lines from signing union contracts binding them to refuse to handle, use or transport products of other firms. The Teamsters have used such facts to bring strike-bound and non-union companies into line.

Webb, San Francisco, estimated that if all cars were equipped with seat belts, California's highway death rate would be cut in half. Under the terms of the plan, sponsored in the legislature by Assemblyman Richard Hanna (D-Garden Grove), all cars manufactured after Jan. 1, 1962, would be required to have two seat belts. State Employment Head Gives Insurance Facts SACRAMENTO (UPI) — John E. Carr, State Director of Employment, has announced that workers who paid more than $38 in 1958 for disability insurance coverage may recover the excess if they apply on or before June 30. Carr said that an employee who worked for two or more employers during the year may have overpaid the $36 maximum because each of his employers, as required by law, made a withholding. Last year, Carr said, the department refunded $3,680,637 to 208,740 persons who applied by the June 30 deadline.

Nuclear Tests Cause Bone Cancer, Leukemia WASHINGTON (UPI) — An Atomic Energy Commission official has estimated that radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons tests conducted since 1952 will cause 50 to 100 additional cases of bone cancer in the United States annually for the next 70 years. Dr. Charles Dunham, head of the AEC's Division of Biology and Medicine, told a radio audience Thursday night there would be a similar increase in leukemia over the 70-year period. In terms of genetic effects, he said, about 650 to 1,000 U.S. children would be born in the next generation with "tangible genetic effects" caused by fallout.
