a local widow; Uncle Desmonde,
a traveling salesman who has ac
quired through the years a large
and unique collection of garters
from burlesque shows; Uncle
Louis, who drinks white wine
from a portable water co ol e r
which he carries with him; and
finally there is Papa, whose main
interest is playing the fiddle in
the band of a vaudeville house.
These several glowing charac
ters resemble a sort of cross be
tween "You Can't Take It With
You" and Eugene O'Neill's "Ah,
Wilderness."
If there is a point at all to the
play it seems to be that the sins
of the flesh are only slight if peo

family stands together. However,
having a point isn't a necessary
thing for appreciating the show.

Prexy's Ideas
Valued Highly
Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, close
adviser to his brother, President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, has "one
of the most liberal outlooks to be
found in the White House, today,"
Cabell Phillips, Washington cor
respondent for the New York
Times, said yesterday.
Presiaem Eisenhower has de
veloped a "growing dependence"
on the advice of his brother, Phil
lips told members of Journalism
1 and 2 classes. Because Dr. Eis
enhower's experience has "very
largely been in government af
fairs for the last 25 years," Phil
lips said, he is "extremely valu
able" to his brother.
Dr. Eisenhower's "life has been
spent in the area his brother is
most weak in," Phillips said. His
experience in political affairs is
therefore helpful to the President,
he said.
Phillips said Dr. Eisenhower
flies to Washington, D.C. nearly
every week and is in frequent
communication with his brother
over the telephone.
In his speech, the newspaper
man termed Sen. Joseph R. Mc-
Carthy, (R-Wis) "the strongest
threat" to the President's leader
ship.
He also pointed out that there
is no single influential Congres
sional leader to promote the Pres
ident's programs in Congress.
"There is probably no greater
weakness" in the President's "pol
itical armament," Phillips said.
