" F1AnA dI Inc OIrduQ lheafer
This is the type of picture
which has the imposing power OF
a turbine, the kind of story
which seems written for the tai
ent of Spenser Tracy. He is a
legitimate stage as well as screen
actor, imbueS his craft with all
the veterans skill at his com
mand. and that's five star grand.
Tracy is cast as an old war
horse attorney who has turned
from criminal to civil practice
because Of his health and the
tendency to drink when working
under high pressure. His daugh-
ter, played by Diana Lynn. tries
to keep him in pasture, but
he hears tne pugle call sounded
when a big hulking Irish lad is
accused of murder and robbery,
snorts back into the front line of
legal battle
The Story is cngrossing from
shooting start TO gun-fire finish:
how the attorney turns detective

the life of the accused; how he
struggles with his own weakness,
and how he uncovers a vicious
gang mixed up with narcotics
ana the killing, included
Pat O'Bryan and John Kodiak
turn in splendid minor roles. The
courtroom scenes with Tracy
showing evidence of his ebb in
efficiency, and the characters on
the witness Stand are individual
masterpieces of acting.
The ending is one of built-up,
nearly unbearable suspense. This
is one Of the best mature film
offerings of the year.

LOS ANGELES, Mar. ia
California news magazine pub
Usher today accused the Army of
playing Its time-honored game
of covering up" in denying charges
of incompetence and scandalous
conduct among some officers in
Korea.
o. D. Keep, publisher and edi-
tor Fortnight" thus defended
recent unsigned article by Navy
chaplain serving with the Marines
in Korea.
The charges were relayed to
the Pentagon in Washington via
Senator Knowland, Republican,
of California and Chairman John
son of the Senate Preparedness
subcommittee. Senator johnson
had asked Secretary of the Army
Pace for an investigation and
detailed report of the charges.
Charges Called irresponsible"
Maj. Gen. F. L. Parks, chief of
information, labelled the charges
irresponsible and ill-considered"
and told Senator Knowland:
I think you will agree
with me that if our Army ever
approached the state of incom-
petence and corruption claimed
in this attack, it would long ago
have fallen far short of its past
and present accomplishment"
Mr.. Keep said the article was
unsigned because I'VE did not
wish to expose this chaplain to
any immediate retribution. We
have been since informed that
an effort has been made to break
this chaplain and therefore we
are not prepared to release his
name"
He would not comment on re-
ports the chaplain might be 1t.
Comdr. Otto E. Sporrer, A Roman
Catholic padre, now in San Diego

Faith of Chaplain Confirmed.
Mr.. Keep did confirm that the
chaplain is Roman Catholic. He
added he is mature in years and
one who Travelled with the Ma
rines during their heroic fight out
Of the Changjin reservoir entrap-
ment."
