Props with wheels will be used extensively as the stage crew must make 23 scene changes, 16 major set switches and a host of costume changes.
In addition to the set changes, two nylon-thin curtains will create two scenes at the lip of the stage. All the stage space is being used.

A PARTY MEMBER came up with another question about the UP platform. He asked Cathey what the party was going to do about the new "off shoot of the NSA?" (He was probably referring to the newly created Committee for Effective Student Government. Eight members of this committee are former members of the NSA.)
"These people need to be together. They probably deserve each other."
Cathey, a member of the NSA last year, replied:
He added, laughing, that this was not a part of the UP platform.

"It will be my purpose now, as a civilian, to attempt to do what I have found it no longer possible to do in uniform."
Testing Could Three Months

He said the General made "inflammatory and derogatory statements" against former President Truman, former Secretary of State Dean Acheson and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
there because of the necessity to replace and repair facilities.
In the past it has taken about six months to prepare the proving ground and organize a task force to carry out an ambitious test program. But sources said it now could be done in two or three months if necessary.
WEAPONS EXPERTS predicted that, if Kennedy gives the go-ahead, a test would be conducted next year of a Nike-Zeus anti-missile missile with powerful nuclear warhead.
Other tests, they said, might include experiments to increase the power of the Polaris, Minuteman and other missile warheads without increasing their bulk and weight.
The Chief Executive denounced Russia's "campaign of fear" but offered again to sign a nuclear test ban treaty so long as it provides for adequate inspection and control.
KENNEDY SAID in his statement that if tests are resumed, the United States would hold fallout to an "absolute minimum." He said this country had no intention of exploding anything like a 50-megaton bomb.
"In the meantime, as a matter of prudence, we shall make necessary preparations for such tests so as to be ready in case it becomes necessary to conduct them," he said.
These experts said this country also might proof-test battlefield weapons such as the Davy Crockett Atomic Bazooka, and conduct scientific tests aimed ultimately at producing the Neutron bomb.
A SPOKESMAN for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) said: "We will proceed to get ready as fast as possible. If a decision is made to resume atmospheric testing, it should not take long to begin."
