Sea Of Grass tells old story
Of farmers VS.. cattIemen
en- i|Ii|ssI
By MARJORIE MILTON

During the two hours in which
many reels of '"The Sea of Grass"
slowly unwind, the characters age
about thirty years. This is nothing
to what happens to the audience.
The story. while it makes an
abortive attempt TO deal with a
conflict between progress and
reacfaon. Is basicallY the old
tale of feud between home
steaders and cattlemen.
AS a conservative cattleman,
Spencer Tracy eventually loses
out to Melvyn Douglas, who is
supposed to represent the forces
of progress.
THIS STRUGGLE. however,
merely serves as a superficial We
hiele to get Tracy and Douglas
into stereotyped conflict with
each other. No attempt is made
to analyze the social forces which
brought such conflict into being.
There. are. some. beautiful
shots of the rolling'prairies and
occasional moments of honest
emotion. Katharine Hepburn is
lovely and tortured. Douglas
distinguished and suffering. and
Tracy rugged and harassed.

If the DFL were to endorse

Overwhelmingly to ask Henry A.

he would support the third-party
move. Although he expects Wal

Room of the Knickerbocker

GONE decades ago the late
DE. w. Scripps chose Chi

NE. W. ScrlppS chose chi
cago to experiment with an
ad-less daily newspaper.
Today his successors in the
local publishing fraternity are
conducting an experiment on
vast scale in production of
news-less newspapers prof.
ect which probably would lead
the enterprising founder of the
Scripps journalism traditions
to question their sanity.
This is the first time in his
tory that big city publishers
have collaborated to reduce
their newspapers to the COM
petitive level of the Dogoatch
Gazette.
Only the publishers claim to
s be satisfied. They would like
the public to believe that new
era in newspaper processes is
here.
THE CUSTOMERS of course,
are without a voice, although
it is fairly apparent that this
performance is a public hoax
eclipsing anything perpetrated
by journalism in its loosest
days.
One staff observer COM
mented on the state of chaos
in his plant as being compar-
able only to the typical zanY
scene in a Marx Brothers
movie.
Conscientious newspapermen
see resemblance in the final
product to conceptions of the
Marx Brothers gagmen.
THE NEWS for the past two
weeks locally has been routine
But the handling of routine
news has produced a strain on
nerves unmatched by the fast
est-moving crime story in Chi
cago history.
Local stats are being called
TO work to gather and write
endless columns of items which
never get published.
Copydesks are working to
prepare a news report smaller
than ever before was handed
the nations second largest city.
Art department staffers are
doing a cutting and FASTING
job that might entrance a kim
dergartner, but hardly becomes
skilled craftsman.
THE PAY-OFF is not ia
tigue, but Illustration.
Newsroom headlines have
become a state secret, prob
ably because there are none.
But copYreaders estimat tie
that the time for getting a
must" bulletin from the copy
desk TO the street is two and
one half hours. leaving news
executives in a continuous
state of anxiety over what to
do when that inevitable big
story" breaks.
FOR A CITY which has an
unbeatable record of big news
breaks and smart news handl-
