Western missionaries cast an anxious eye toward the Middle East last week. Three hundred mission leaders representing 45 denominations met under the auspices of the National Council of Churches in Buck Hill Falls, Pa., heard reports that the British missionary effort in Egypt is "about finished" as a result of the British-French invasion. Two major British mission stations-about 25% of the total Protestant mission forces-have been closed. Some 60 British missionaries are under "protective custody" and will be expelled. The few French missionaries, mainly Roman Catholic, also face expulsion. The 300 U.S. missionaries will take over...
Died. Edward Joseph Hart, 70, onetime (1911) All-America tackle, twice (1910-11) captain of Princeton's football team, who once played two games while wearing a cast for a broken neck; of a heart attack; in Toronto. The late Grantland Rice's estimate: "One of the great tackles of all time...

Instead of describing the common struggles for meaning and direction which the theologian and artist are now sharing, instead of clearly showing these struggles in their relation to the older problems of both men, Dr. Wilder described only the conversation which these similar struggles are producing. He failed to get to the heart of the affair. It greatly disturbs me as a Protestant because I fear it is indicative of a whole tone in theological circles to be superficial when nearly everybody...
...stupidity, vanity, and carnality the role demands. Edward Thommen, who frequently directs shows at Poets', recovers early from a shaky start, where he seems self-conscious as the Victorian dandy, to exude high humor in the finale which he plays behind a stunning make-up job. Others in the cast include Catherine Huntington, Gail Kepner, Robert Leibacher, and John Coe. The last act set, the California patio scene, is designed with a real satirical flavor by Lester Gediman...
