New Historical Novel Gives Witness
To Power Struggle Ot Ancient Rome
Winifred Bryher, acclaimed for Coin of Carthage" is history and
her magical skill in recapturing parable, the present in the past,
past periods of crisis, has taken King's Story Told
the confusion and hazards of the "Sunset at Noon" by Jane Oli
Second Punic War as background i ver is the story of James IV of
for her new novel, "The Coin of i
Carthage."
Her protagonists are marginal
characters, men who do not make
history but witness and endure it.
Through the fates of two Greek
traders she evokes the greatest
struggle in which ancient Rome
engaged.
The two men's allegiance to
Rome is tenuous, and when Han-'
nibal's brilliant campaign carried
the Carthaginian troops into south
'ern Italy, they have no compunc
tion to seek out the enemy, who,
far from his native bases, pays
well for leather and oil.
Both men, however, are com
pelled by more than gain. Adven
ture, the call of the road, the
mirage of the golden sands of
Africa lure them into unknown
territory, among alien, untrust
worthy people and shadowy dan
gers. But Winifred Bryher has done
more than describe the fate of
men; with extraordinary insight
she records the dying of the cities
of the vanquished, the. subtle and
corroding change that accompan
ies the fall from power. "The

PEAR ABBY: It's the same old
story. Wife puts husband through
four years of school, plus two
years of dentistry, and now she
has been outgrown. However, my
story is more than this. I've
taught school, born two children
and am expecting another. My
husband took up with a "beat"
crowd and is now trying to "dis
cover who he is and what his
purpose in life is." He was raised
rigidly in the church, but he's
forsaken it to experiment in a
"free" way of life, which includes
drinking and other women. We've
been separated three months. (I
took the children and went to
HIS parents, 2000 miles away
my parents are dead and I have
no "family" of my own). My hus
band now writes that he has taken
up painting and intends to desert
the career for which he was
trained, because he can't handle
the responsibility of a family un
til he finds out who he is and
what his purpose in life is. I know
I haven't been a perfect wife, but
I was faithful, and put him through
school. What am I to do?
TROUBLED
DEAR TROUBLED: Your hus
band is either sick or a bad ap
ple. His father should go after
him and tell him WHO he is (a
husband and father) and explain
that his purpose in life is to
take care of his family. If your
husband is sick, he should have
treatment. If he's a bad apple,
he should be cut off the family
tree.
DEAR ABBY: What do you
think of a person who goes into
someone else's home and says,
"My, it's COLD in here!"? Or,
"My, it's HOT in here"? I was
taught that the temperature in
one's home should not be crit
icized because it suits the people
who are living there. If a guest
comes into a home, shouldn't she
forget about her own comfort and
keep quiet if the temperature is
not to her liking? I'd appreciate
seeing this in the paper. Thank
you.
INSULTED
DEAR INSULTED: Personally,
I would rather forego my own
"comfort" and please my guests.
I see nothing wrong with a guest
commenting on the temperature
of a room. It makes more sense
than shivering in silence, or at
tempting to fan oneself witn
limp handkerchief.

Scotland.
He led his country to days of
great glory, holding the delicate
balance of power between the
England and France of Renais
sance Europe. He inspired men
to die for him and women to live
for him, but few people ever
knew of the dark guilt that tor
mented his soul or the romantic
dreams of chivalric honor that
would help to bring about his
downfall.
To the Tudor princess who be- j
came his wife, he gave compas
sion, but only to Margaret Drum
mond did he give his heart.' From
the time of her death, a victim
of international plotting and na
tional treason, James underwent
a drastic change.
In this novel, Jane Oliver has
re-created all the pageantry and
color, all the triumphs and trag
edies of one of the most beloved
kings Scotland has ever known, a
lonely yet brilliant man who
brought his nation to .new heights
of power and then led his people
to one of their darkest hours.

Clergyman
Exists Agai
WASHINGTON (UPI)-A clergy
man from Eugene, Ore., told a
Senate subcommittee Tuesday that
discrimination against Negroes ex
ists on a "very quiet basis" in
Oregon and even at the Univer
sity of Oregon.
The statement was made by Dr.
Wesley G. Nicholsen, pastor of the
First Congregational Church in
Eugene, before the Senate Em
ployment and Manpower subcom
mittee. The clergyman and Dr. Kenneth
Polk, assistant professor of soci
ology at the university, appeared
before the committee to urge ex
tension of a law under which com
munities receive federal grants to
help plan youth employment pro
grams. The topic of racial discrimina
tion was brought out when Sub
committee Chairman Joseph S.
Clark, D-Pa., asked whether the
juvenile delinquency rate was
higher among minority groups.
Dr. Nicholsen, who said there

was no difference in the delin

gested that discrimination w a s
found throughout the country.
Clark had expressed surprise that
it should exist in Oregon.
"Tense" Situation
Dr. Nicholsen said a "tense
situation" exists in Portland and
elsewhere in the state. He cited
the case of a Negro electrician
who worked for the Bonneville
Power Administration. He said the
Negro had previously worked in
Olympia, Wash., where he found
everyone to be "very friendly" in
stores, churches and schools.
But since being transferred to
"The Negro had been most un
happy" because he had found
people to be "very unfriendly."
The clergyman said he thought
the problem was "local" rather
than a difference between the
states when asked by Clark why
Negroes should receive a less
friendly reception in Oregon than
in Washington.

They told the committee that In

there was less juvenile delin

that it was growing at an "alarm

The major problem, in Lane

Joan Crawford
Emotion On Before Camera
HOLLYWOOD
By VERNON SCOTT
UPI Hollywood Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD (UTI)-The cam
era dollied is for a closeup of
Joan Crawford's face. Director
William Castle called, "action,"
and the actress stared straight
into the lens.
Her face contorted into a sob,
followed by a scream that shook
the rafters of the Columbia sound
stage. Then the camera backed
away to reveal a blood smeared
ax in Joan's hands.
The camera rolled closer again
to catch the tears real tears
coursing down her face.
"Cut," cried Castle who had
exactly what he wanted on the
first take in a scene for "Strait-
jacket,"
Joan moved out of the lights,
the tears still streaming from her
eyes. It took a few moments for
her to apply the brakes to the
murderess she was playing. Grad
ually she returned to being Joan
Crawford, actress extraordinaire
and executive of a soft drink
company.
Dressed in an inexpensive cot
ton dress and wearing flat heels,
the Oscar-winning actress was
anything but glamorous. She blew
her nose and dried her tears.
"I've always been able to cry
without the use of glycerine,"
she said, smiling.
"It's not easy to cry on cue,
but with concentration and disci
pline every actress should learn
how to do it. And once I begin
crying it takes about two minutes
of self-discipline to stop.
"I tried cheating once in 'Su
san and God' after I'd been cry
ing for about four days. I told
my director, George Cukor, that
I was all cried out. So they put
glycerine on my face. But it felt
phony and I forced myself to cry
an over again. 1
"Real tears cause your voice
to change and your whole atti
tude is different."
Joan, who stands only 5 feet
4Va inches, appears shorter in
person than she does on the
screen. Between scenes she
slipped into a pair of high heeled
shoes, threw her head back in the

famed Crawford manner and
transformed herself immediately
into the role of movie queen.
Gone was the faded, terrified
little ax murderess she had been
only seconds before.
Composed now, she said, "I
never really know what I'm go
ing to do when the camera starts
rolling. I wait until the emotion
brings it on pure emotion right
from the guts.
"But you must discipline your
emotions so that they convey ex
actly what the character is sup
posed to be doing and thinking."
What does Crawford, one of the
brightest stars of all time, think
about the so-called method school
of acting?
"You can analyze youseU right
out of this business," she said.
With that Joan walked back
into the set for her next scene.
When the camera began rolling
she pulled some hidden switch
and became the murderess again.
It was something to see.
