Linda Darnell looks sharp in those Restoration glad rags but that's about as far as the recommendation can go. Variety Time is a slow paced musical that isn't worthy of much attraction, either.

GRANADA ( through 19)—Vnhtioivn Island and Last of the Wild Horses. The first is about a mythical island that reeks with artificial dinasours as well as artificial actors.

Handymen Host Bradley Tracksters Tomorrow Braves to Highlight High Jump Heintzman By JIM HOWARD Notre Dame's powerful track squad will attempt to extend its early season superiority tomorrow when it plays host to the mediocre Bradley trackmen at 1 p.m. in the Irish fieldhouse. The high jump and the shot put will again open the afternoon's activities. The opening event will be the feature of the afternoon, with Jack Heitzman of the Braves, one of the nation's most brilliant jumpers, the star attraction.

Tell defensive men to watch offensive and defensive strategy, com­ plete with elaborate diagrams. The boys catch on fast. Foley did not see Denver and Vince Boryla until the night before their game with us and the Irish received only a black-board analysis of the Denver attack. But the defensive strategy was perfect, each man per­ formed his job, and Leo Bamhorst pre­ vented Boryla from getting even a close look at the basket. Foley's worth to the team goes beyond his scouting brilliance. He is a keen student of the game and knows each phase inside and out. He calls basket­ ball a game of analysis and he is a sharp analyzer who is constantly seeking to learn more.

ACTIONS AND PASSIONS by Max Lerner, Simon and Schuster, New- York, $3.50. Buckle Down This book is a series of columns and articles written by Max Lerner in his capacity as a staff writer of the naw defunct New York Star (formerly PM) during the period from November 1944 to August 1948. It is also a rallying On Brother Conan's ciY for "progi-essive liberalism"—that fantastically flexible theory of jjolitical practice. It is a book of ci'iticism and hope. It February Bargains! criticizes the way the country is run and the people who are running it. It hopes that things will be changed — the "lib­ eral" way. The collection of essay subjects range far and wide, from Yalta to Atlanta; from Churchill to Leo Durocher; from morality to the sports "fix" to the po­ litical philosophy of the New Deal. It is held together by its common theme — that it is time the country woke uji to the threat it faces. That threat is de­ scribed variously as "Big Business," the "Bobber Barons" and, at its basest, "the reactionaries." Max Lerner is not one to pull a punch. He hits hard at Pegler and Dewey, Jim Crow and laissez-faire, fascism and Republicanism. He is apparently driven in writing by a spirit of crusading.

General Electric is not one business, but an organization of many businesses, offering opportunities in virtually all the w-^•1' professions. Here three G-E men brief the coreer-possibili* nr\ ties for the engineer, the x-ray specialist and the business trainee.

ENGINEEI IN MANUFACIUMNG _ C. H. Linder (Texas), Ass't Managerj Apparatus Dept.: "An important part of my work is develop­ wm ing men for Manufacturing Management. For this we have a Manufacturing Leadership Program, in which we assign young men to serve'personal apprenticeships' to seasoned, successful mana­ gers in varying phases of manufacturing."

X-IAY SPECIALIST R. ¥i Wilson (Yale), of the G-E X-Ray Corp.: "For electrical and mechanical engineers, physi­ cists, chemists, and industrial designers who enter x-ray work there's a double satisfaction—^that of contributing to a technology having direct bene­ fit to hiunanity, plus the challenge of unusual engineering problems."

BUSINESS TIAINEB - John McCallister (Indiana), of the Business Training Course: "Graduating as an accounting major, I had the usual choice: public or industrial accounting? I chose Industrial with G.E., and, after a year of work in Tax Accounting and of study with the BTC, I'm more sure than ever that it was a good choice."
