to recognize a political demon is
q man to deep-freeze the heart.
AS movie hero-villains 60. he is
the best character the screen has
found in long time. and surely
"All the Kings Men" makes the
dramatic most of him.
Willie Stark, the label the man
wears, is played by Broderick
Crawford and he never did bet
ter job. Yet the full view OF
Willie, the exposure of his rotten
human essence, is the work OF a
large gifted cast which includes
Mercedes McCambridge, Joanna
Dru, John Ireland. and many
others.
Willie, a supposed paraphrase
of the late Huey Long. is the
fellow most likely to be remem-
bered among a years Aim char
acters. His climb from back
woods buffoon to demented dicta-
tor Is drama not to be missed,
especially in a day when political
uncertainty lies so uncomfortaoly
upon all mankind.
y y \ X
The rich-actually over-r1ch-
detail of Warren's novel is absent
from the film but the simplif1ca-
ton of the screenplay makes 1t
q sharper X-ray of Willie Stark.
His tale begins in a small,
Southern town were the beady-
eyed political machine beats him
in his first quest for office. The
defeat merely adds one more welt
to the tough. SCARED surface OF
the huge country clown. Next time
out, life and dirty politics give him
q break. He becomes a community
hero and a minor political idol
whose veneer of idealism needs
only tiny crack for the power
lust in him to come roaring
through. When a pair OF State
capital slickers. a newspaper col
umnist and hard. wise girl show
him the way. Willie is Oh to 8
ruthIessness his old machine
made enemies never conceived.
If Willie's story were not rigid
history, it would have a fairy tale
incredibility about 1t.
It is. however, an old headlines
account of a power-crazed polltico
who got the mob behind him,
whipped it to an emotional frenzy.
and rode this dizzy force wherever
his whims led him.
Willie's whim was empire. He
was willing that every man should
be a king, If he could be the king
of kings. He bought power with
every device ever used. He built
roads, improved markets. con-
structed schools, made the State
university an architectural, model
and bought it q football team
Willie could be proud Of. He built
hospitals, established medical CEN
ters, and extended health services.
All Of these on the surface were
good, but the core of them was
rotten with Willie's own rotten
ness, his mad worship Of power for
powers own impure sake.
In both his personal and
official life he wasras inhuman as
his creations looked humane.
Everything he created, everything
he touched became corrupt, and
the Playhouse picture takes a
look at most Of it.
On the private side Of his being.
Willie Is shown timing the
wife who led him out Of illiteracy.

Police Reject:

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. - RAN
dolph Ward Aldridge was wanted
by police in Honolulu and in Mem

where he is, they don't want him.
The 32-year-old man with an in
%ternational criminal record is in a
Minneapolis hospital with a broken
back. Authorities say he'll never
walk again. But he is costing the
hospital more than $500 per month.
Detective Inspector Eugene Ber-
nath said the hospital would be
glad to get him Off its hands,.

that $500 a month are a little more
than the authorities are willing to
pay to prosecute the man on

Bernath said Aldridge was in an
automobile accident lei the town
Of Minneota, Mimi, where he had
run a radio repair shop and ga

He talked his way into a local
hospital by telling authorities he
had a multimillionaire brother-in-
law in Hollywood who would foot
the bill. He entered the hospital as

It turned out that the brother
in-law was nonexistent and there
was no one to pay the bill.
Aldridge was convicted of man.

Veteran Who Offered Eye as
Gift Loses II in Accident

LOUISVILLE. KY.-Chester R.
Perkins, blind Indianapolis war
veteran, wrote Santa Claus
that he wanted two shiny blue
eyes" for Christmas.
The appeal was answered by
Fred F. Wempe, a Louisville vet
eran, who offered one of his eyes.
But doctors told Wempe that an
eye transportation would not help
Perkins.
But Wempe's offer still stood. He
said any war-blinded veteran who
needed one of his eyes should write
him. There. were no takers.
One day Wempe reached to ad-
just a Tapping window shade. The
roller came loose and struck him
in the eye.
Lying in the darkness of Nichols
Veterans hospital, Wempe heard
the doctors say his eye must be re-
moved.
