"One of the Willi. EiU greatest things I've ever seen." "Who are you?" I said. "You don't know me, he said, "But I read you every day. I just wanted to say it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen." "Where are you?" I said. "Indiana," he said, "abso lutely one of the greatest." "Where in Indiana?" I said. "Columbus, Indiana," he said. "It was so real. Really great. You know, I've never done anything like this, but I had to tell you." Kind of Flattering Well, to tell you the truth I never did anything like it either and in a way, it was kind of flattering. It's kind of nice to know there's one person out there reading you -that is, aside from numerous and anonymous old ladies who write indignant letters in grume on the back of slightly used Uneeda biscuits. Anyway to get on with it, Loring Mandel's "The Raid er," the Playhouse 90 entry, was an engrossing drama about a corporation proxy fight, acted with some fire and directed with skill. But I'm afraid I'll have to dis agree a bit with my friend in Indiana because its ending was a cheat which spoiled it a good deal. "The Raider" posed an ab sorbing problem, but it never came to grips with that prob lem: Whether loyalty to an organization should override every other loyalty, be it loy alty to friends or to a per sonal code. It is a problem increasingly cropping up in our post-war fiction-"The Caine Mutiny" and "From Here To Eternity," for example, both fell, despair ingly enough, on the side of organization. And in an even more miner key, the problem is even turning up increasing ly in ladies magazine fiction. Gnawed on Problem What "The Raider" did Thursday night was to gnaw on the problem, but leave the swallowing of the problem to its audience. What it lack ed, as a result, was dramatic resolution, genuine climax, a real wholeness. It is perhaps significant that it was- pro duced by Herbert Brodkin, who several seasons back pro duced another play, "Thunder in Washington," that also caused some controversy by its shy-dodger ending. The actual mechanics of the play, as I said, were quite Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Rockland, Mass.-The sister of Capt. Samuel B. Nikerson. skipper of the tug that rescued eight survivors of a plane crasn in new YorK city s tast river, telling of a nervous col lapse he suffered five days after the crash: "He kept worrying afterward that he might have saved more had there been more time and more rescue boats." London-British Dr. G. A.4Rose, reporting an increase of angina cases marked by sharp pains in the region of the heart while watching exciting shows on television: "Those people who aspire to mental detachment, even at the height of the chase in a Western, may care t ponder that some hundreds of their less fortunate fellows are at that very moment clutching their chests with one hand while feeling for their medicine with the other. Newton, Mass.-Earl Attlee, former British prime minis ter, warning that the world has a choice of world govern ment or world chaos: "We are living in the most dangerous period of the world's history. We must surrender to world authority." New York-Luben Vichey, whose Les Ballets Africans troups has bowed to an order to cover bare bosoms or close calling the order incomprehensible: "At no time do you get as much nudity on the stage as you do in a 52nd st. strip joint. Tacoma-Former Teamster Union President Dave Beck, on how he felt after bein convicted of income tax evasion: "I feel fine. I couldn't feel better. If I felt any better I couldn't stand it."
