SIXTEENTH AT CAPITOL

by RICHARD LEWIS

A Young Man's Americana

THERE WAS a young man in the audience at Murat theater last night who had walked and hitch-hiked 17,000 miles, more or less, to the Indianapolis symphony orchestra’s initial pop concert last

night. Take note, Mr, Sevitzky.

Of course, the symphony was an objective only in relation to the America this young man had decided to discover for himself last

June—17 ,000 miles ago.

He blew into ‘the office yester--

day about noon, thumped his pack on the floor and announced he wanted to make a deal, just like that. In his hand he carried a wrinkled section of The In-

dianapolis Times

which contained the program the symphony was to play last

. night.

“I'll tell you

my story,” he said, “in exe Richard Bower

change for two tickets to the concert tonight. I have decided to

| hear it. I like the program.”

The young man waited solemly with a “gosh, I'd like to hear it but I haven’t got the price,” expression, mingled with the fear that one would size him up as a crank. pi But it was a' deal, all right. 2 os o “My name,” he said, “is Richard Bower. My home is in Holly-

in Seattle. * “I have been hitch-hiking all over the' United States, so that I shall know what it looks like when I join the army. I have visited almost all of the cities of more than 100,000 population and I have tried to see everything of scenic importance I know of, “I am on my way home. I happened to see that the symphony was playing, and, well, I'd like to hear it. May I have two tickets?” He was alone, knew nobody here in town, so why two tickets? “1 want to take a girl,” he said. “I have decided to have a date.” Hmmm. “I imagine,” he continued steadily, “that in a city which boasts a symphony orchestra, I should be able to find a girl who would like to hear it. Right?” ~ One had to admit his logic was sound. Mr. Bower identified himself as the son of Dr. Ernest Clare Bower, astronomer and aero-dynamics engineer, now engaged in studying wing flutter in an aircraft factory at Santa Monics, Cal,

California Outdoor Federation, a conservation society. Richard started on his tour, calmly, deliberately, last June 14 on the Columbia Ice Field highway and hiked through the maritime provinées of Canada. Cutting back south into the U. 8S. he methodically visited every city over 100,000, as indicated by the census directory he carries, until he reached the Mexican border, where he went down into Mexico City and climbed Popocatepetl which he recollected was 17,880 feet high. “I don't know whether I gave you the correct elevation ar not,” ‘he said, “so please check that. I like newspaper stories to be accurate.” (Okay, so the encyclopedia says it’s only 17,520 feet high.) Referring to his census directory, he passed through city after city of not less than 100,000, checking them off his list as he went. A methodical young man, he did the same for scenic attractions. He was bent on seeing the United States and he wasn’t going to miss any significant section. He was determined. not to miss last = night’s symphony concert. And he didn’t miss it. He called

on time. I bet he had his date, Now he can go into the army with the full knowledge of what he is called upon to defend. A very methodical young man. : ” 8 ” ?

Perhaps it is in Mr. Bower’s own observation that he wanted to

Moscow Area. “MOSCOW STRIKES BACK,”

| Soviet film of last winter’s Russian

counter-offensive: in the Moscow area, opened yesterday at Keith's

“lalong. with the Renfro Valley Barn ‘| Dance on the stage.

A ‘record of one of the bloodiest drives of the war, the documentary film is a full length, paste-up of

] Russian newsreel shots and films “Imade by Soviet army photogra- | phers.

Its editing by Slavoko Vorkapich, Hollywood film expert, is not very coherent, but the episodic flashes parachute = troops, planes and tanks rushing into action against the Nazi invaders are sometimes breath-taking,

Comment by Robinson

~The whole is held together by an excellent commentary delivered by Edward G. Robinson. Piled one upon the other, the swift-moving scenes show Cossacks riding through the deep snow to outflank the enemy; white-hooded troops

“|moving silently through the snowy

fields; roaring artillery paving the way for attack and planes droning overhead to meet the low-scooting Nazi luftwaffe. In one scene, tanks are rolling across open country which looks like a winter scene in central Indiana, just the vast expanse of snow-banked earth with dead stalks sticking up through the snow. The effect of tanks, snow wedged in their treads, ®against the bleak, wintry landscape is powerful indeed. In another scene, tanks‘ and white-hooded skimen rush a ridge,

after {the Russian soldiers and 'civilians | come out from hiding in the forests to meet them. The Russians drag shivering - Nazi supermen out of holes in the earth, from under the of partially-wrecked houses and from caved-in cellars. : Then soldiers and civilians alike pause in cold, silent horror at the hillocks of dead women, children and old men: the Nazis have murdered. In one scene, an officer addresses the populace of a retaken village at the edge of a field where the bodies of “men, women and small boys are dangling from the scaffold of a mass hanging. Other scenes of death and carnage left in the wake of the retreating Nazis are pretty horrible. The film does a good job in expressing the intense hatred of the people for the enemy. You see it in the faces as they bury their slaughtered relatives. It makes ‘no bones about showing the wreckage of schools, kindergartens, hospitals and the homes of Chekov, the playwright, and Tschaikovsky, the great
