Idiot Box Lifted Sights
With 'Billy Budd' Show
NEW YORK (UPD Television
can be an idiot box and it is at
its most idiotic on Monday eve
nings when it grinds out Name
That Tune and I He Texan , and
Restless Gun and Wells Fargo
and Peter Gunn and Arthur Mur
ray Party. ' ' '
Last Monday night, however,
the idiot box lifted its sights and
offered "Billy Budd
Quite frankly, I was prepared
to be bored by Budd. I've read
the Melville story three or four
times, seen it played on Broad
way once and on television twice
as straight play and opera. But
the CBS-TV Du Pont Show of the
Month production, despite a few
flaws, was a fair joy. It s a pleas
ure when TV shucks hypnosis and
instead tried to pinch to make
you feel and think.
Billy Budu is, of course, s
rather infuriating .work. It makes
a close but rather muddled side
swipe at paralleling the business
of Adam and the fall of man
innocence tempted by the devil,
the loss of Eden, the final recon
ciliation between Adam and the
larger power over him.
Dim Parallel To Christ
I don't wish to labor the paral
lel too much, particularly since
Monday night s production veered
over too far in trying wrongly to
impose a kind of dim parallel to
the Christ story (even, to having
young Billy jailed in a posture of
semi-crucifixion 1, but the impli
cations of paradise lost are cer
tainly there.
Perfection, says Cant. Verc
in the play, "is a disease we
stamp out at its first rash show

The 55-year-old entertainer re

A spokesman for Godfrey said
his doctors had ' approved the

aside earlier in the work, Vere
states Melville s terribly melan
choly position: "The world wants
not justice, but order, to be left
alone to hug its own iniquity."
This tone may be a bit difficult
for a TV audience, trained on
pap, to accept. The play's final
scene, for example, in which
Billy willingly mounts the yard
arm to be hanged after he has
unwittingly killed a Satanic master-at-arms
and shouts "God bless
you, Captain Vere" is a bit thick.
But I found myself so enmeshed
in the Melville world 'Monday
night, that I almost but not quite
went along wjth it.
Difficult To Accept
I say not quite for two reasons.
One is because I find the charac
ter, Budd, a bit difficult to accept
except on the single and limited
level of allegory. The other lay
in the playing of Don Murray as
Budd. Murray, unhappily crowned
with a growth of blond hair that
made him look like Harpo Marx,
was not quite up to the role.
There vas a confusion on his part
of innocence with imbecility.
The rest of the cast, however.
despite a wild contrast in acting
styles, functioned admirably.
James Donald as Vere, Roddy
McDowall as Squeak and George
Ebeling as Danskcr were quite
solid. And Alfred Ryder who re
placed the ailing Jason Robards
in the Claggart part, was superb
he charged his role with a
subtle electricity and delivered
his lines with a cadence that gave
his Claggart a formal but believ
able malevolence.

Lynchers Will Have A Long
Time To Worry
By LYLE C. WILSON
UPI Staff Writer
WASHINGTON (UPI) -There
will be some sweating done in
PopIarvUle, Miss., during this
year's hot summer and well into
the cool of fall.
The anxious sweat ,pf gnawing
fear will bathe the 10 persons who
lynched Mack Charles' Parker on
April 25. It is fair to deduce from
the latest development in that
lynch-law incident that, the guilty
individuals are going to have
some unhappy hours, days and
months. . ;,t
Fiery Crash Kills
Five In California
MALIBU. Calif. (UPI) - A
speeding convertible roared down
a twisting highway ' Monday
nignt, spun out of control at a
curve and smashed head-on into
another car, pushing it back

Five persons lost their lives in
the fiery crash.
'The only person to escape death
was the driver of the convertible,
Norman Messer, 25, Santa Moni
ca. He suffered critical injuries.
His wife, Pamela, 25, was one of
the dead. ..
Highway Patrolman. :,John Ellis
said Messer's - car : apparently
skidded across the center of the
highway after going out of con
trol at a speed "in excess of 80
miles an hour."
The four occupants of the other
car were burned to death ' when
the vehicle's gas tank exploded,
spewing flames over the tangled
wreckage.
The victims were identified as

About Fate
Latest development in the Par
ker case was the FBI's withdraw
al. Director J. Edgar Hoover put
some 40 agents on the Parker
case. Their activities ended with
announccmeit Monday that Par- '
ker's lynchers had not violated
any federal law. The FBI inves
tigation took place on the assump
tion that federal law had been
violated.
When no federal violation was
discovered, the FBI withdrew. The
evidence gathered will not be
wasted, however. The word today
is that the evidence now being
turned over to Mississippi's Gov. '
J. P. Coleman involves 10 per
sons. Mississippi law evidently will
operate slowly. Grand jury pro
ceedings in the county in which
Ponlarville is situated are not
likely to begin before next Nov. 2.
The men who lynched Parker will
have a lot of time to contemplate
the fact that their names and evi
dence linking them with the crime
are in official hands.
"Sweating it out," is what the
wartime GIs used to say to de
scribe a time of waiting under
great and unrelieved pressure. 1
Parker's lynchers now will be
sweating it out until next Novem
ber. They probably already know
they have been identified.
There seems to be no doubt'
that Gov. Coleman will put every
resource of the state behind the
effort to convict the lynchers. Nor:
does there seem to be any doube
whatsoever that Parker was guilty
of the crime of rape for which he
was locked up. ' ' ' '
With the state determined to
make the prosecution a real one
and the evidence now in hand, the
end of the story is pretty well in
sight. But before the end of the
story there is likely to be some
sweating and squirming among 10
persons who helped put Parker
away last April.
