He Asserts
Germany must be disarmed mentally as well as materially, Dr.
Harry van Walt told University
students and staff members at

Tuesday.
There is no royal and peaceful
road to this disarmament, he said,

for the mind of the German Is the
training in domresult of age-ol- d
ination. The man of the house's
word is law, and each boy asserts
himself when he sets up a home In
order to gain a feeling of superiority, which he never felt in his childhood.

The German people must bs completely dominated, said Dr. van
Walt, for they have only contempt
for any other treatment. He said
that while the treaty with Germany
was being drawn up during the last
war, Prussian leaders and militarists were plotting a second World
War. Thus, the only hope of leading Germany is through power on
the part of the Allied nations them-- ,
selves, he declared.
The greatest danger which may
come out of this war is a psychological upheaval which would be
apparent in a reversion to Intense
nationalism or isolationism, and
this must not happen, he said.

Bluegrass To Be Portrayed
In M.nsical Comedy Soon

4
By Adcle Denman
You're likely to find everything
from Colonels and mint juleps to
horses and blue grass in Mrs. Den-z- il
new musical
Hollingsworth's
comedy, "Out of the Blue," which
will be given during the week of
August 13 at the Guignol theatre.
This humorous, yet sentimental
portrait of Kentucky is purely a
product of local talent. It is writ
ten by a Lexington resident with
songs by Maury Madison of Winchester, and directed by Wallace
Briggs of the University under the
sponsorship of the American Legion.
The play was written for the
musical selections of Mr. Madison,
whose music was introduced in
France before the war by the famous
Dali sisters. Though handicapped
by blindness, the composer has writ
ten numerous songs, seven of which
will be introduced in the play.
The plot deals with an actress, an
actor, and a composer down on
funds, who come to visit an owner
of a Kentucky horse farm, only to
find that the man's house has been
sold to an old friend they met in
show business.
The friend's wife returns after
they have been there a time, and
the Negro maid leads her to believe
that her guests are royalty. By a
twist of circumstances the guests
are forced to pretend that they are.
The scenes that follow are packed
with a hilarious series of incidents,
until the happy ending where the
composer sells some songs and the
guests return to New York.
Highlights of the performance are
likely to be the excellent singing of
Lucille Little, former student of
teachFrank La Forge,
er of Lawrence Tibbit, and the
character part of the Colonel, as
interpreted by Jewell Doyle. Margaret McCorkle's black-fac- e
act
where she sings "A Dish of Dixie," a
musical receipt for making the
South, is outstanding comedy. Other
cast members are Ed Mills, Johnny
Henfro, Robert Wright, Evelyn Ben
nett, Larry Snedeear, and Jessie
Sun. Henry Foushee is the techni
well-kno-

cal director and Nancy Skeen is in
charge of interiors.
The music is excellent, and the
songs themselves should make the
play well worth seeing.
Tickets for the performance are
$1.50 and the proceeds will go for
the rehabilitation of returning vet-

erans.

Sgt. Holland Returns
Staff Sergeant Karl Miller Holland, son of Mr. and Mrs. Miller
Holland, Owensboro, has returned

1942, but he enlisted before graduation. He is a member of Delta

Former Young French Spy Will Discuss
Policy On Round-Tabl- e
Non-Fraternizati-

By Casey Goman
"Yes, you may call me a spy,"
Mile. Sabine Donatienne Patricie
Wormser, daughter of a Paris
banker, said. Mile. Wormser, in
America on a speaking tour for
American Relief for France, Incorporated, will be a member of the
panel discussing the
policy on the University round-tab- le
over WHAS Sunday at noon.
Mile. Wormser told how, in 1939,
she was in Brittany when the Germans moved in. The inhabitants of
the village couldn't do anything
without official permission, and no
news of the outer world filtered in
to the anxious inhabitants. Finally
she received a travel permit and
went to Nice, In the south of France.
There she began her activities
with the French underground.
From 1939 until the end of the war
she worked at various tasks, which

Included drafting plans of military
placements, drawing maps and replicas of German military ensignia
to be sent to England for the purpose of identification of troops.
She sat at her window, knitting,
and counted the carloads of German troops going by, and also the
movement of supplies on the railroads. She maintained some connection with the French maquis.
In speaking of the living conditions in an occupied country. Miss
Wormser said that she is considered
lucky she had a hot bath upon
reaching England. Many of the
French have not known such a luxury since the beginning of the war

vasion. These incite rebellion, and
keep the people inflamed against
the Germans, yes, but they also
review the newest in good literature, and they kept alive the culture of the people. The underground
presses published books, too among
them was John Steinbeck's "The
Moon is Down," printed in translation.
Miss Wormser graduated In philosophy from the Sorbonne in 1939,
when she was 19 years old.
After the liberation of France she
enlisted in the Corps Auxillalre
Femlnin, and was placed in
charge of German women prisoners
in Paris In September, 1944. She
spoke on the underground movein 1939, she stated.
Miss Wormser carries with her ment at American air bases in Engcopies of several underground news- land in November, 1944. She is now
papers printed and distributed dur- on a special mission for the Mining the years of preparation for in istry of Information.
