Weather- Cloudy and Mild VOL. 54, No. 47 Vishinsky Prepares UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Nov. 19 (s>)—Andrei Y. Vishinsky took a swipe at the Bermuda conference of the Western Big Three today and charged the United States is trying to stall off a depres sion with preparations for a new war. Vishinsky showed a lack of hi; Statement Issued on Pitt Conduct (See Editorial Page Four ) Conduct prejudicial to the good name of the University will be closely checked this weekend in Pittsburgh and the individual or individuals responsible will be severely . disciplined, the Univer sity disciplinary committee an nounced yesterday. The action grew out of a rec ommendation to the group by the Council of Administration that the warning be issued in advance. Included with the recommenda tion was the approval of naming Nov. 21, the date of the Penn State-Pitt game, as the annual football half-holiday. The disciplinary committee, which is a sub-group of the Sen ate committee on student affairs, in issuing the warning said, “Of ficers of student government have worked out a plan with the Athletic Association to have all ticket purchasers register, and the Pittsburgh Hotel Association, through its executive secretary, will furnish all possible informa tion on property damage and disr orderly conduct.” Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs and a spokes man for the committee, said in the past few years there have been no serious complaints from Pittsburgh resulting ■ from the Penn State-Pitt game 'weekend. This was in comparison with the uproar caused by student conduct at this year’s game in Philadel phia, he explained. There was a time, Kenworthy pointed out, when Pittsburgh ho tels would not accept reservations from State College on the week end of the game. This, he said, is an indication that Pittsburgh (Continued on page eight) Laughton Portrays Of Famous Authors By BAYLEE FRIEDMAN Characters in Pickens, Shaw, and Thurber came to life last night in Schwab Auditorium as Charles Laughton presented the second Community Forum pro gram of the season. The capacity audience was tak en slightly by surprise, as the in imitable performer walked quiet ly on stage and placed his books on a desk. Laughton, disheveled and comfortable, greeted a tre mendous ovation with a friendly “Aw, shucks” and “Well, hello.” With hands in pockets of an ordinary blue suit, the 54-year old actor gave his “Evening with Laughton” a humorous beginning with limericks about animals, ed ucation, and music. Encouraged by warm audience response, the stocky performer proceeded to in sert a few sayings of Confucius— “real sayings”—between jingles. Laughton was perfectly at home on stage as he related stor ies “we knew when we were lit tle,” informing the audience, al ready captivated by his charm, that he believed he was little once, too.

American Delegate James J. Wadsworth replied he had heard nothing to give Americans hope for a relaxation of tension. The Soviet deputy foreign min-, ister made his big pitch for this Assembly in trotting out Moscow’s latest version of its peace plan, most of which has been put up and knocked down several times before in the UN. Wadsworth told the committee the delegates- had heard the same well-worn proposals which have been rejected before. He said it is significant there was no sign of any intention to avert war and reduce tensions. Tension was the theme of Vi shinsky’s talk. Vishinsky snapped that state ments of the Western powers to the effect that reduction of ten sion depends on the Soviet Union are “fallacious.” He reminded the delegates that the Soviet Union had. proposed a meeting of the Umted States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the Red Chinese to talk over relaxation of tensions. “This important proposal for the convening of a five-power con ference has been met with the convening of the Bermuda confer ence,” he said. “This conference, as a result of its separate char acter and the specific goals placed before it, far from contributing to a reduction of international ten sion, can only serve to intensify such tension.” Vishinsky said things are pretty bad-all around in the capitalistic countries, with unemployment and such ills, but several delegates, weary from listening to him for one hour and 48 minutes,' com mented that his speech was per haps his weakest effort. Western delegates said Vishin sky hashed over numerous old subjects and they saw no reason to draw up important policy state ments to counter his speech. Con trary to the usual close attention with which Vishinsky has been •heard in the past, some delegates drifted in and out of the room or read magazines. Packs Schwab Auditorium ian version. And even though the audience became more receptive, no one seemed to be enjoying himself more than the head scratching Laughton, who spoke to the 1200-odd persons with the familiarity of a tiny room.

Characters at Forum throat, but put in the mouth of a talking horse to make it palata ble.” Sensing a slight restlessness in the auditorium, Laughton left the lighter vein of his program with “I’m getting sick of these,” and a knowing “I suspect you are, too.” The true Laughton appeared most assuringly with a monologue on women from the old movie “Rembrandt.” A sober, poetic mood captured . the audience as he discussed women in painter’s images. A good-natured chuckle breaking complete silence at the end of the moving piece set the mood" for the following dramatic presentations. As the wizened Devil of Shaw’s “Don Juan in Hell,” Laughton harangued the foolishness of men’s motives and their ability to destroy themselves. He seemed most at home in this role, stretch ing his arms lazily and pushing the uncontrollable gray-streaked hair from his eyes. In his repetoire were satiric characterizations from Dickens’ bureaucrats, which Laughton por trayed more convincingly than he had even the Devil.
