by the Laotian Royalists
In Cmabodia, it was the 40th consecutive day of bombing by
the American planes since the Vietnam cease-fire.

Film features Reich
li\ STKVK MYERS
KI PFFRBKRG l\ WR-MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM
Film compares modern politics to theories of I)r. Wilhelm Reich
WR MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM
11971) is a bizarre mixture of political satire,
social commentary, and documentary. The
"WR" of the title refers to Wilhelm Reich, a
one-time assistant of Sigmund Freud In 1939,
he fled from the Nazi movement in Germany
and came to the U S. He soon established a
research center known as- the Orgone
Laboratory. His controversial theories of "life
energy' eventually led to the government-su
pervised burning of his books. He was
imprisoned in the Lcwisburg Federal
Penitentiary where he died in 1957.
It is interviews and newsreel filmclips
concerning Reich that comprise the
documentary portions of the Film. Yugoslavi
an director Dusan Makavejev intercuts
between the documentary and a fictional
narrative to create and "organic film." The
narrative is an allegory having many levels of
meaning. By juxtaposing fiction with
documentary. Makavejev reveals a relation
ship between political change and personal
psychology
■ WR" won the Luis Bunucl Award at the
Cannes Film Festival in 1971. It was a
selection of the New York Film Festival and
won a best director award at the Chicago
Festival. Makavejev, who has three previous
features to his credit, has been recognized as
"one of the most remarkable artist to have
emerged from the post-Godard era.” (It
might be noted that like Godard’s films,
Makavejev’s include scenes which might
affect members of the audience with weak
stomachs).
The players in "WR" include Milena
Dravic the leading actress of Yugoslavia;
Tuli Kupferberg. playwright and former
member of the Fugs; Jackie Curtis actress of
the Warhol school; and Betty Dodson, a
painter of new wave art The documentary
footage includes interviews with the son and
daughter of Wilhelm Reich.

English subtitles. It will be shown in South
PJ auditorium on Monday and Tuesday at 8
and 10 p.m. Admission will be $1 wilh I D. and

Scoggins said the failure to

(Penfogon announces cuts
FLOWERS, INC.
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Pentagon notified Congress
Monday that 274 military bases
around the country will be
closed or cut back, including
shutdown of historic Boston
Navy Yard. An estimated
21.172 civilian and 16,640
military jobs will be elimina
ted, but eventual savings will
run close to one billion a year.
The impact on personnel will
be softened somewhat by
consolidation of facilities, a
spokesman said, allowing some
workers to transfer to other
bases.
For instance, about 400 of the
5.720 personnel at Boston Navy
Yard — all but 160 of the
civilians — will be offered
transfers to the Philadelphi i
Naval Yard which altogether
will absorb an estimated 1.000
workers from surrounding
areas.
The changes are expected to
be completed by mid-1974. As
outlined to members of the
Pennsylvania congressional de
legation by Navy Secretary
John Warner, the cutbacks had
the heaviest impact on Rhode
Island But the ax also fell on
Massachusetts, the only state
voting against President Nixon
last year.
Sen Edward M. Kennedy,
D-Mass . said it would have a
severe economic effect on his
state, where unemployment
has reached a rate of 6.9
percent Asked if he thought
the closings were politically
motivated, he said: “I’d like
not to believe so."
The biggest closing in
Massachusetts was the Boston
yard, one of the nation's five
original major naval bases
dating back to 1800.
