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.

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
