4 - Personalities Revealed
'Director Charles Suggs asso
elate professor of drama said the
play takes the audience high
above the occupied city where life
goes on and personalities reveal
rt themselves in all their selfishness
humor and grace
He added "What seems so re
markable to the audience is not
' that the characters could retain
the secret of their existence from
Nazi forces but rather that they
could endure Among themselves
' the intensified impatience misun-
derstanding and doubt Without
'Anne and her father they: might
have destroyed themselves"
Shows AU Traits
Suggs commented "The play ex-
pressed all the strengths and flaws
of human character Its impact
lies in its truth in its being a
true story and not another clever
work of fiction Its quality is uni
versal there are oppressed peo-
ples everywhere"
Based on the book "Anne Frank:
Diary of a -Young Girl" the 1955

WASIIINGTON—(A'—President Kennedy warned Russia Wednesday
night against any attempt to "intervene unilaterally" in The Congo lie
said it was the duty of the United States and other United Nations
members to oppose any such intervention
The President opening his news conference with a statement on
the Congo crisis did not specifically name Russia but said he was
"seriously concerned at what appears to be a threat of unilateral inter
vention"
This was an obvious reference to Russia's recognition of the rebel
government of Antoine Gizenga at Stanleyville—recognition coupled
with a promise of support and aid
The "only legitimate authority"
qualified to speak for the entire
Congo Kennedy said is the gov-
ernment of President Kasavubu at
Leopoldville lie said discussions
are under way with other countries
about broadening this government
politically
Kennedy also deplored any at-
tempt to "destroy" the United Na-
tions—again an evident reference
to Russia's demand Tuesday for
withdrawal of United Nations
forces from The Congo and for
ouster of Dag liammarskjold as
UN secretary general
The United States has supported
and will continue to support the
United Nations Kennedy declared
Ile made clear that support ex-
tends fully to the United Nations
operation in The Congo
The United States and other
member UN governments be add-
ed have the duty to oppose any
attempt by any government to in-
tervene unilaterally in the strife
torn Congo
Kennedy also announced the
United States had recognized the
government of El Salvador
Tile' President announced a
speedup - in- federal spending to
combat the reces'Ion
