President Eisenhower decided last week that he will not reappoint Thomas E. Murray to the Atomic Energy Commission when Murray's term expires June 30. To Washingtonians the President's decision will come as no surprise since Manhattan Millionaire Murray, the remaining Democratic member of the five-man AEC (down to four since the death of Scientist John von Neumann), has long been at loggerheads with AEC Chairman Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss...
...almost every AEC decision relating to security, business development of atomic energy, and H-bomb tests, there has been only one dissenting voice on the Commission. Thomas Murray, the only Truman appointee to stick it out, has constantly opposed the AEC majority whenever he felt that it was acting as a rubber stamp for Strauss. As a result of his criticisms, Murray and Strauss are continually at each other's throats. If Murray's comments were only negative, his value to the Commission would be questionable. As it is, however, Murray has been partially responsible for much...
...Murray's term expires in June, and it is doubtful that the President will reappoint him. Strauss will do everything he can to prevent Murray from remaining on the AEC; motivated by a powerful sense of charisma, he has no sympathy for gadflies. The service which Murray performs in keeping Strauss on his toes and airing important AEC disputes is an essential one. A Democratic Congress can try to get the President to reappoint Murray, if only by the expedient of log-rolling. It might be worth sending Scott McLeod to Ireland, if Thomas Murray could stay...
...Finish. Willing to try anything to make their charges swim faster. Australian coaches experiment with special diets (Murray Rose stokes up on seaweed jelly) and novel styles. A few have even tried hypnotism. But like good coaches anywhere, they depend most on grinding work. In the year preceding the Melbourne Olympics, Australian team members trained hard for ten months, swam six days a week, covered an estimated 80 miles apiece each month. Many of them took a ten weeks' calisthenics course in a Sydney gym, tossed medicine balls, chinned the horizontal bar, did pushups. Buoyant...
Aside from this The Bachelor Party is succesful and well worth seeing. Charley, the young man (Don Murray), and his wife (Pat Smith) are both properly ordinary looking and, their intent being to act as naturally and untheatrically as possible, do very well. Jack Warner is just right in another of his Dodger fan roles and E.G. Marshall gives a good performance, if he is a little too intent on stripping bare his character for all to see. Carolyn Jones gives the best performance as the fast and intellectually chic Villager who is so wretched that she doesn't know...
