'For Whom the Bell Tolls' Called Curious Alloyage Of Awfully Good, Awful f 1 r . William EwU Bt WILLIAM EWALD New York -OD- The first section of "For Whom The Bell Tolls," unfurled Thurs day night on CBS-TVs Play house 90, was a curious al loyage of the awfully good and the awful. 4 Ernest Hem ingway's nov el of the ef forts of some Loyalist par tisans to blow up a bridge during the Span ish Civil War contains patches of some of the worst writing ever turned out by a major author. Its love scenes are stupifyingly jejune and its principal figure, Robert Jor dan, is a cardboard man. It's to Maria Schell's credit that those love scenes fatu ous, unreal, pubescent were thumped alive Thursday night. Miss Schell, a player of luminous presence, gave them extraordinary believability. She injected calories and ma turity into them and un lumped them completely. However, Jason Robards Jr., who was playing Jordan, was not quite as fortunate. Hem ingway's Jordan is a walking stick, just dandy for a per former like Gary Cooper. But unhappily, an actor like Ro bards and a fine, solid play- New England Digs Out of Worst Snow of Winter By United Press International The worst storm of the dy ing winter season eased off to scattered snow flurries in the northeast today on top of average 10- to 12-inch accu mulations in Pennsylvania and New York and up to 34 Inches in Maine. Snow continued during the night in northern New Eng land, leaving a 22-inch blan ket of white over much of New Hampshire and Maine. Caribou, Maine, reported 34 inches early today and Rum ford, Maine, 26. Unusual Warm-Up The storm raced across the northeast Thursday, on the anniversary of the great bliz zard of 1888, dumping heavy snows from Ohio into New England. Only an unusual warmup in the midst of the storm, turned the snow into icy slush over much of the storm belt, prevented it from turn ing into a paralyzing blizzard. Flights Grounded Scores of schools and indus tries closed, airline flights were grounded and trains and buses were,hours late. Traffic jams were common through out the snow area. The intense storm, which began Wednesday, was blamed for at least 23 deaths, including two men and five children killed today when fire swept their home on the edge of Easton, Maine, during the state's heaviest snow of the year. Other victims in cluded 6 each in Ohio and Iowa, 3 in New York, and 1 in Connecticut. er he is who needs some thing to bite into, really can't get a good toothhold in it. As a result, something rath er strange happened during the course of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" Thursday night. As long as the action centered around Robards and here except the Schell-Robards love scenes the play seemed flat, awkward, unfired. But when the drama shifted its focus to 'another character, Pablo beautifully played by Nehe miah Persoff the screen ex ploded. In A. E. Hotchner's adap tation, Pablo was a character in the round. His complexities dangled from his body like live wires. When other char acters Jordan, Maureen Sta- pleton's Pilar, Steve Hill's Agustin, Eli Wallach's Rafa el touched those wires, you could almost feel the charge in the air. Swiped the Show Persoff s Pablo was a hunk of meat playing. Bearded, borish and beat, he swiped the show out from under every one else. He caught magnifi cently the minglement of bar barity and civilization, butch er and shattered hero. Next week, Playhouse 90 will turn to the final part of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and I suggest you catch it. The actors may be the most skill ful group of mummers ever assembled for a TV produc tion and director John Frank enheimer is one of the medi um's most sensitive straw- bosses. Hit or miss next week, it will be worth watching just for its sheer ambition and craftmanship. Portland Flag Maker in Quandary Portland (UPD Allied Arts studio here, the Northwest's only flag manufacturers, may have to rely upon collectors of Americana to take some brand new 49 star flags off its hands The firm, owned by Ray An- dreason, has had the 49 star flags in production since Jan. 6. Andreasen said he sent home seven women seam stresses as soon as the news of statehood for Hawaii broke. Operations were at a stand still, but Andreasen said he was behind in his orders for the new flags and hopes col lectors of Americana will take some of the surplus. Forty eight star flags? "They're obsolete," he said. IRS Asks Small Cigar Makers To Stop Tax Dodging Washington (UPD The In ternal Revenue Service wants some small tobacco companies to stop avoiding taxes by making so-called "small cigars" that are more like cigarettes. The federal excise tax on small cigars is' 75 cents per 1,000, on cigarettes $4 per 1,000. Production of small cigars, as reported to the revenue service, has skyrocketed from a normal 4,826,035 last Aug ust to 80,843,059 in January. Officials say it's not a sud den smoking fad. Rather, they said, "a handful of com panies appear to have "switched" from cigarette to cigar production presumably to take advantage of the low er tax rate. IRS Warns Companies The IRS sent letters this week to the tobacco com panies telling them either to stop the practice or to expect a new ruling that would make the so-called small cigars subject to the cigarette duty. The revenue service de clined to identify the com panies but it was understood that none of the major to bacco firms was involved. The law says a cigar is a roll of tobacco wrapped in to bacco and a cigarette is a roll of tobcco wrapped in paper The IRS said some manu facturers have been using wrappers, made of reconstitut ed or sheet tobacco. Tax of ficials said it can be bleached white and otherwise has many characteristics of paper. Labeling Inconspicuous . ' The IRS has held that smokes wrapped in sheet to bacco may be classed and taxed as small cigars 'pro vided that such product must be prominently labeled on the front of the package as cigars and marketed as such product." Such labeling has been in conspicuous or non-existent in some cases, the IRS told the industry in a Feb. 26 cir cular. The circular also said some "small cigars" have cigarette-type filter, wrapper, filter and packages. Frankfurt, Germany - (UPD - Frankfurt Zoo keepers have an eternal triangle on their hands but it's their own fault.

Neuberger has urged fellow Democrats in the Oregon Sen ate to approve the nomination of L. C. Binford of Portland to the State Water Resources Board. The Democratic - controlled Senate Natural Resources Committee voted 4-3 earlier this week against Binford's confirmation. Neuberger sent a telegram to Sen. Andrew Naterlin (D Newport), chairman' of the committee in which he said: "Most senators here take the general position that presi dential appointments should be sustained by the Senate un less adverse matters of moral turpitude or personal integ rity are upheld against nom inees in, open hearings. I be lieve it advisable to permit gubernatorial appointees simi lar latitude and fairness, so responsibility rests squarely with the governor for policies of his appointees." . The committee has sched uled another hearing to con sider the nomination.
