It Happened Last Night
By Earl Wilson - NEW YORK, Nov. 15- D'you have a Battie of the Bathroem in your house?
Historians are so silly. ‘In the Great Battles of History they list Gettysburg, Jutland, the Bulge but they miss the wordiest of them all, the Battle of the Bathroom Naturally I think women _.are to blame] would. . They're so careless, so tintidy; so . . . there, there, Wilson, you were about to say slovenly,
weren't you? In our happy little hearthside we've gone way ‘beyond skirmishes over leaving the cap off the toothpaste.

was a note of sadness-in the synagog. Combined with the sound of the organ, I got the impression that there was great faith, an over-._ tone of exultation despite the centuries of unhappy experiences, a maturity that. showed even in the youthful face of the boy who was going to become a man that morning. : : * * RABBI GREENFELD led the congregation in prayer. Stanley Klain prayed with his elders. A
young man who had recently completed his Bar‘ |
Mitzvah stood in front of the congregation and gave a review of the Five Books of Moses. Cantor Glass opened the Ark and took out the Torah, history of the Jewish people. The Torah was carried before the congregation. Relatives of Stanley joined the Cantor in the reading of the Torah, Stahiey was forsaking his mantle of childhood forever. Stanley read from the Five Books of Moses, Stanley's voice didn't have the resonance of Cantor Glass and Rabbi Greenfeld or some of the elders. But neither did Stanley have the experience, age, full appreciation of the responsibilities that lay in the future. Each dawn, each evening, would bring a slight change in the boy who was becoming a Bar Mitzvah. He was a link in the history of the Jewish people. Someday he would feel the full significance of that history. Someday his voice would not be weak as he read from the Torah or chanted. Time wauld do that to him, oo oo oe = RABBI GREENFELD spoke a few words to the congregation. He: explained how the child, after becoming a Bar Mitzvah. no longer feels he is 'a child. There's a new sense of maturity, The
youngster. Turning to Stanley, Rabbi Greenfeld said, “We have not had a pleasant history. In our generation millions have perished. There must be reserves, Stanley. You are the reserve. You must close the ranks. You and other Bar Mitzvahs mus! continue the fight for peace.” The service ended and it was hard to realize that an hour and a half had gone by. Friends and relatives of the new Bar Mitzvah made their way to the banquet hall, where everyone would partake of food and drink.
Stanley brightened considerably “when he sat at the head of the banquet table. When the time came for him to speak. Stanley's first thoughts He thanked them. for what they had done. He thanked the Rabbi and his great: grand. father and relatives, friends. He said he was hum-~ bly grateful for the oppoftunity given him to miake the Bar Mitzvah. And he wotild never forget his duties and responsibilities in the temple.
Later -there would be gifts. In a few short vears, Stanley Hugh Klain wouid really be a man in his own right. Some day, perhaps, he will watch proudly as another reserve takes his place in the ranks to Tight for peace. I hope =o. I learned a.gredt deal at the Bar Mitzvah. It was a short distance off my beaten path. Experience builds understanding. There's room for a lot of understanding.

MEMPHIS, Nov. 15-<Mr. Lloyd T. Binford, the bull censor of Memphis, ‘is confronted with a new. and horrifying medium to test his mettle,
and may wind up ‘as the most frustrated censor.
In the land.
Television has come . to Memphis,
«posing quite: a problem for Mr.
thereby Binford, who has long er | =f : a valiant battle against anything in the entertainment | ness which, might show Ded Negro in a light of equality. When he banhed a film called “Imitation of Life.” he said it fllustrated “one of most disgustthg cases ‘of racial equality 1 have ever seen.” He also slew a ‘comedy called “Curley because, “he said, it showed equality between children of different races. Mr. Binford has a long, proud record in the banning. business. He eut an oldie called “King of Kings,” a Biblical show. He banned “Lost Boundaries” while approving “Pinky,” a story _ of a Negro girl who was light enough to pass ® for white, but decided not to. He also banned a road show version of “Annie (et Your Gun,’ because Negroes sing and dance on equal terms with white performers. ' He killed “Duel in the Sun,’ one of the dullest hoss-operas ever compounded and in this instance did the town a favor. But in the case of television’ Mr. Binford is undecided. He tells me he has never seen a .television show, whith: is just as well for his heart, because all sorts of horrifying examples of racial equality are in daily evidence. $e 000 MR. ARTHIU R GODFREY, who gets into ‘more southern homes than the §ouths entire
fopuiation of meter readers, steadily employs a
mixed quartet called “The Mariners.” Hoyer of
b
horrors, the Mariners are composed of two white, two black, and they sing on equal terms with each other, and with Mr. Godfrey and his other White associates. Then there is the awful example of Jack Benny and Rochester. Rochester is declaredly a Negro and often winds up as the sly superior of his boss, Mr. Benny. He is sarcastic with Mr. Benny, and taunts him all the time. and makes cracks behind his back. This would be unsettling to Mr, Binford, I am sure. - Then you got Ethel Waters, a Negro lady, playing a recent TV show called “Beulah”; and. of course, most of the talent and variety shows feature Negro entertainers. Recently, on a Cedric Adams talent show, a little Negro boy won hands down over a flock of white competition. We also have the Treissuing of all the old movies for the video screen, possibly many of the very movies banned by Mr. Binford.. The equalizing effect on Memphis’ children must be terrifying ‘indeed. since I note that the old “Our Gang” comedies are being replayed for TV--over, of all things, Howdy Doody. a children’s. program. If 1 remember rightly, the most appealing member of the gang was Farina, a little Negro boy with a runny nose.
FETS
MR. BINFORD tells me he does not believe that he can censor television so long as: people see it at home, and ‘is also somewhat dubious about. the Possibility of banning it in; public places. “TI will" cross that pridge. when 1 .come to it,” Mr. Binford says, “but I imagine some sort of legal structure could be set up to protect ‘the "public, if this becomes necessary.” Television. is red hot in the South, and on its screen. at ‘least, equality is rampant. It would be odd indeed if the coaxial cable eventually takes up where Abe Lincoln left off. despite the valiant effort of Mr. ‘Binford” in other fields of , artistic endeavor. |
