Observer, La Grande, Ore., Fri., June 5, 1959 Pago 6 Playhouse 90 Fell Short With Mussolini TV Show ' NEW YOHK (UPIl "The Kill ers of Mussolini, inursaay night's CBS-TV Playhouse 90 dra ma, can be summed up in a sin gle unhappy sentence: It didn't play well. " ' Writer Ed Hotchncr had some chunky material on his hands in his study of the Italian dictator's final days, but he never really managed to pull it together Into a tight dramatic package. It was an exercise that proceeded in a halting manner jerking head at a swift clip for a few minutes, coughing to a halt, staggering forward again, only to sputter to a slowdown.- To compound the difficulty, Hotchner's script contained sever al touches that bordered embar rassingly upon soap opera: a. par tisan couple (good guys) planning their marriage and future just .be fore Communist partisans (bad guys' gun them down; a doomed partisan boy offering the doomed Mussolini some bread baked by his dear old mother; Mussolini writing a touching letter to his wife just before his mistress walks in. - These were ' cheap emotional contrivances, the shoddy ironies of a writer reaching out for the easy way of juicing a faltering story. Buzz Kulik's direction didn't help matters much either. The drama had a herky-jerky air awkward transitions, badly paced scenes and a complete lack of in ternal rhythm in the piece as a whole. The play s opening scene, in which Mussolini's advisers traded desperate strategy, was stupefyingly unreal. So, too, was the staging of all of the battle scenes. As for the acting, for a Play house 90 it was curiously disap pointing. Nicky PersofC as Musso lini seemed . strangely jiff-center all evening. The character of Mussolini was obviously a com plex one and Persoff never suc ceeded Jn quite delineating him: His Mussplini struck me as a crazy, mixed-up kid. The rest of the cast ranged from awkward to adequate with the exception of Ilka, Windish, who played Mussolini's mistress. In a small role, she turned in the only hard and effective portrait in the entire piece. Side Glances The Channel Swim: CBS-TV has signed Sid Caesar to an exclusive long term contract. Caesar's or ganization, in turn, has signed Audrey Meadows for all the TV specials he'll do for CBS-TV next season. ABC-TV's Dick Clark will 'be the subject for the June 24 NBC- TV This is Your Life show the half hour is already on tape.

Welo, district manager of the La Grande social security office. Welo noted that maay people are supplementing their social security benefits by doing seasonal or part-time work. Persons under age 72 may earn as much as $2080 and still get some payments. Those whose yearly earnings are $1200 -or less are eligible to receive all of their checks for the year. If the earn ings for -the year exceed $1200 one check may be withheld for each $80 (or fraction of $80) over the $1200. Welo illustrated this provision of the retirement test by citing the beneficiary or worker or retire ment age (62 for women, 65 for men) who works steadily and has earnings for the year of $1800. This person could still receive 4 checks, Those who work throughout the year and earn over $2080 would lose all their social security checks for the year. However, they would be, eligible.-ip receivp payment for any month they did not work in their business or earn no more than $100 in wages. After the year a worker becomes age 72, he may earn any amount and still be entitled to all his so cial security payments. However, in the year in which he became 72, he must include all his earn ings for such year. Thus, if he earns over $1200 in the year he reaches age 72, he must lose pay ment for those months prior to his 72nd birthday. Beginning with the month of age 72; benefits are pay able regardless of earnings. ' To avoid owing the Government money Welo urged those people with questions about the effect of earnings on their benefits to con tact the local social security dis trict oflice at La Grande, Oregon. was knocked unconscious ty a prop, will rejoin the Paar pro gram June 15.

Payments Due School Districts SALEM IUPI) Payments to Oregon's poorer school districts under the basic school support program will be increased during 1959-60 as a result of an opinion released Thursday by Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton. The attorney general's ruling was requested by the State De partment of Education because the House Education Committee at the last session of the Legisla ture failed to take any action on the basic school support cost ratio computed by the education de partment.

CBS-TV will offer a two hour tele cast of the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway June 26. ' The way Thornton interpreted the law, those districts which have been receiving the greatest amount of equalization funds will get more under the new computation.
