MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY. APRIL IS. 1961 On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE Civil Defense Planning on Federal Level Reviewed In observance of the Easter season, two color specials will be presented today on KMED-TV-the Biblical play, "Give Us Barabbas," at p.m. and at 8:30 p.m. "He Is Risen." tequal to the Christmas fea ture "The Coming of Christ." Henry Denker's play, "Give Us Barabbas," stars James Daly as Barabbas, the crim inal whose life is spared when Christ is condemned; Kim Hunter as Mara, the woman who loves Barabbas, and Den nis King as Pontius Pilate. It tells the story of what might have happened to the thief Barabbas after Pilate, following the Roman custom of freeing one Jewish prisoner at the time of the Passover feast, heeds the mob's cries to "give us Barabbas," re leases him and orders Jesus delivered for Crucifixion. . The author Denker states that "In the release of Barab bas, we find the whole concept of Christianity, for this is the first man for whom Christ actually dies." "He Is Risen" uses photo graphs of several hundred paintings by great artists of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance to depict the final period of Christ's ministry and His last days. Among the masters repre sented are Caravaggio, Ru bens, Titian, Velasquez, Rem brandt, Bellini, El Greco and Van Dyck. The stills-in-action technique Is used to give movement to the story. The narration by Alexander Scourby relies almost wholly on Jesus' own words and the words that were spoken about Him while He lived, as record ed in the King James version of the Bible. Robert Russell Bennett's original musical score is what he describes as a "kind of f o u'r-movement symphony" based on themes from several Gregorian chants. TWENTIETH CENTURY, 6 p.m. Sunday KBES-TV.

World figure skat ing championships in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Col. Arthur Savard, Med ford director of civil defense, addressed the Medford plan ning commission Thursday night regarding recent devel opments in civil defense plan ning at the federal level. "We have a definite re sponsibility to provide pro tection for citizens of the com munity in the event of an atomic attack," Savard told the commission. Adequate for Shelter It is possible to survive an atomic attack, Savard main tained, but responsible agen cies must plan and coordinate pre-attack dispersal move ments in order to insure that our population is able to reach adequate shelter. Savard said a recent federal government survey has re vealed there are 100 buildings in Jackson county, 60 of which are in Medford, that are adequate for use as fall out shelters. If the buildings and the program meet with final gov ernment approval, Savard said, the structures will be stockpiled with survival sup plies capable of sustaining their occupants for 14 days. "Here in Medford we must lean heavily on community shelters," he said. He suggest ed the commission give con sideration to the possibility of constructing a shelter with a 5,000 person capacity under the freeway viaduct. Earlier, the commission de nied a request for a variance to the front yard setback re quirements In a single-famly AT DEDICATION Ashland -Dr. Elliott B.
