TV in review

i. By Rick Da Brow • t HOLLYWOOD UPI — A * lean, tough, little drama with ; Simone Signoret as a famous actress who accuses an angry young writer of creating a false play turned up on NBC-TV 'Wednesday night, and it is * worth expanding into a stage -piece. * The one-hour NBC-TV pre- “ sentation, which appeared on -network television’s only re"maining anthology series, the “-Bob Hope Tbeater, was entitled ~ “A Small Rebellion,” and was 1 written by S. Lee Pogostin - with an enviable combination of ~sure professionalism and ma“turely passionate restraint. a» As an angry playwright, 2 George Maharis gave what was probably the performance of <-hia young career. In what was ~ virtually a two-character dra~ma, with one set an empty theater — with the actress and 'writer fighting for their souls "and honor in their fierce ehow- - down meeting — file amazing rMiss Signoret elevated Maharis’ ~ acting senses to their competitive peak. He was in there _ against the best, and he knew it, and surprisingly he held his own superbly. The core of the drama, quite simply, is that a producer Sam Levene, who had the only other part — a very brief one brings the two protagonists together, the actress tries to hide the fact that the play has touched her too deeply — by attacking it, and the motivations of the central female role. It could be fairly said that the hour occasionally tended to be rather stagy, and even posed a bit — yet this is a minor complaint, and in fact just when one thought the staginess might go overboard it was redeemed by precisely the right touch of theatricality. Everything, of course, goes back to the script and Pogostins success was not merely that he overcame a notorious obstacle — making the act of creativity human and interesting — but that he did it through the fascination and motivations of his charactera

By Phil Newsom The red carpet, the plumed helmets and ceremonial swords of the guard of honor were there, and President Charles de Gaulle even described his West German guests as “good old friendly acquaintances.*' But whatever the sugarcoating and the attempts to show solid achievement, there really was not one single major issue upon which DeGaulle and his guest. West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, could agree. In fact, the outlook was that the already-strained relations between their two nations would become even more strained as time went on. The Germans are suspicious of De Gaulle’s forthcoming visit to Moscow, fearing that one result could be a sell-out of their hopes for German reunification. De Gaulle holds the “twoplllar” concept of the Atlantic Alliance, one pillar being the United States and the other being a Europe independent of the United States. The Germans insist that the U. S. must have a role in Europe. The Germans demand a voice in nuclear strategy. De Gaulle is adamantly opposed. And despite the fact that

differences between the two within the six-nation European Common Market recently were papered over, there remains issues which cannot be papered over for long. One concerns the future of Dr. Walter Hallstein, a German who heads the common market’s authority in Brussels. De Gaulle accuses Hallstein of acting too much like the head of an independent government and wants him out. The common market authority, the European coal and steel community and Euraton, all with the same membership, soon are to be combined. West Germany wants Hallstein to continue as head of the enlarged organization at least two years. The West Germans are anxious for common market action on the so-called Kennedy round of negotiations looking toward sweeping cuts in international tariffs. The traditionally protectionist French are cool. Also ahead in the common market is tough bargaining over a billion dollar farm price support program. Chief benificiary will be France. The one paying the most will be West Germany.

WASHINGTON UPI—Representatives Frances P. Bolton and William H. Ayres held a joint news conference Wednesday on the subject, “Absurdities in the Rayburn Building.” They were referring, of course, to construction features rather than to the occupants. Ridiculing the Rayburn Building, which provides office suites for 169 congressmen has become one of the favorite sports on Capitol Hill. This is a bit like poking fun at the village idiot. The new 388,000,000 structure is vulnerable on so many points that even an unskilled faultfinder can run up a big score. It turned out, however, that the absurdities spotted by the two Ohio Republicans were not as rediculous as they had suspected. Mrs. Bolton led off with a complaint that the building has everything but kitchen sinks. The kitchenettes in the office suits have places for sinks, but the fixtures themselves are missing. Coffee cups must be washed in the bathroom basin, she said. As a result, she added, coffee breaks sometimes end with broken cups. Mrs. Bolton did not explain why the breakage ratio is higher in basins than it would be in sinks. That was one of the mysteries of the news conference. The other mystery was introduced by Ayres, who used to be a plumbing contractor himself. He voiced suspicion that the reason the sinks were missing was because the plumbers had failed to install the necessary pipes. He said there should be a “soil pipe” in the wall, plus “a reducing bushing and a short nipple for installing the ‘P’ trap” to which a sink is connected. But, he said, he had been denied permission to make a wall trap, known in the trade as a “bust In,” to ascertain whether

the plumbing actually was there. This mystery proved to be a burst out. Reporters who checked the Capitol architect’s office were assured that the sink pipes are in their proper place, short nipples and all.. If a decision is made to install the sinks later, this can be easily done for as little as 333,800, a spokesman said. I hereby predict that Mrs. Bolton, Ayers and the other Rayburn inhabitants will get their sinks before many more coffee cups are chipped. But it might be cheaper to give them all a set of unbreakable china.

Z Held With Valuable Cargo INDIANAPOLIS UPI — A truck loaded with hijacked cosmetics valued at $247,000 was recovered at a U.S. 40 truck stop west of here Thursday and three men were arrested on federal charges. The cosmetics were identified by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as having been stolen at Chicago Jan. 16 from an interstate shipment. They were found at a truck stop near Plainfield about 20 miles west of here. Calvin B. Howard, special agent in charge of the Indianapolis FBI office, identified the men arrested on charges of theft from interstate shipment as Edward Lucas, 47, Chicago; Howard Channon Machen, 40, Toledo, Ohio, and Theodore V. Zeimba, 48, Chicago. Howard said Lucas was armed with a loaded revolver when arrested. The arrests and recovery of the cosmetics were the result of a joint investigation conducted by the FBI and Indiana State Police which included around-the-clock surveillances during the past week, Howard said. The cosmetics were Max Factor products. Lucas was identified as a salesman and Machen as a truck driver.

WALL STREET chatter

By United Prsu International NEW YORK UPI—Kenneth Ward of Hayden, Stone Lac., says a discriminating policy of buying the most attractive un-der-priced issues during all interim reactionary periods while temporarily avoiding or switching out of those that seem temporarily overexploited appears to be prudent at this time.

Sylvan Epstein of Thomson & McKinnon says he believes the market will make another attempt to get over the 1,000 mark in the Dow-Jones industrial average very shortly and could coast to about 1,030 before losing momentum.

Bache ft Co. says that while it does not rule out the possibility of corrections from time to time, it believes the trend in the months ahead points upward.

BRAZIL’S brand new capital city of Brasilia, built since 1957, has already taken on a shabby appearance, due, say critics, to shoddy construction and lack of proper maintenance. Gosh!— we thought this happened only to humans—looking old before one’s time! ! ! ! Saek in 1957 Brasilia was hailed as the “dream city” of the future. What a pity if it should turn into a nightmare! ! t ! Perhaps In keeping with this era of the speed-up, Aitch Kay suggests, Brasilia has achieved something in keeping—instant antiquity. ! ! ! ▲ 200-year-old black walnut tre* called om of the world’s

finest, has just been sold at auction in Indiana for $12,600. A long term investment for the former owners, but it certainly paid off. ! ! ! That old poet who wrote the memorable lines—“Woodsman, spare that tree”—must have been thinking about that very piece of timber! ! ! ! Cassowary fbathors always grow in pairs-naturo item. It's a smart bird that knows onough to grow a spare pair of wingsl ! ! ! With the price of pork soaring to ever greater heights, there is an added meaning to that old simile—“As independent as & hog mi ice.”
