...early days of the United Nations, when each delegate seemed to feel the wing beats of the Dove of Peace, the idea came up of opening each session with a prayer. Letters poured in supporting the proposal, but in 1949 a special committee finally killed it. Reason: doctrinal differences might be inflamed, and the godless, i.e., Russia & Co., might be disgruntled. In fact, Russia had made it clear that it would be disgruntled. A recommendation calling for a minute of silence was the substitute passed by a bare majority out of 15 committee members-Russia and France, among others, abstained...
Last week a children's game in the Parker manner was sweeping Communist Hungary. Called The Road to Peace, it requires each player to move a Picasso dove around the board until it reaches a center spot marked "Peace." A throw of the dice that lands the player in a Red City (i.e., cities in the Soviet bloc, plus Tunis and Guatemala) earns him an extra turn. Green Cities (London, Paris, Caracas, etc.) carry a penalty of one turn. But woe betide the player who lights on a Black City, for he must promptly leave the game altogether...
After Jorgensen and Hawkins, Ulen is concerned with developing potential. He lost both of last year's varsity divers team by graduation, but they had not come through against Yale, costing the meet. To replace them, diving coach Charley Batterman has the two who dove for the freshmen last year: Greg Stone and Duane Murner. The talented Stone was practically undefeated last year; the hard-working Murner came just about as close to him as anyone could get. "It will take a darn good diver to beat them," Batterman said. But this year the Yale meet is at New Haven...
Good Morning, Miss Dove (20th Century-Fox) takes a tedious two hours to say good night. A tear-stained biography of a grade-school teacher, it stars Jennifer Jones as the town's prim disciplinarian whose glacial tones can make a hardened hoodlum jump to attention. One fine morning, Jennifer gets a pain in her back and. as she awaits medical attention, launches into the first of a series of flashbacks that show her renouncing her true love (she has to pay back some $11,-ooo her ever-loving daddy embezzled), helping a Polish immigrant to learn English...
Goalie Maury McKeon of the Tigers dove or pushed his way to all the Crimson shots, though, until inside right Bill Lingelbach outran two Tigers to a ball floating in a puddle and passed sharply to outside Ken McIntosh. McIntosh booted a high kick toward the left of the goal, but Shad Tubman jumped and deflected the ball with his head off the left post and into the nets at 13:50 of the first quarter...
