Patterson, who recently pre-

WASHINGTON, DC. - While

and peoples leaders cheered,
William L. Patterson, militant
leader of the Civil Rights Con-

Federal Judge Luther Young

Judge Youngdahl entered the

the beginning of the trial on mo-

Patterson's attorneys argued

Lobbying Committee had no
right to ask Patterson for CRC

U. S. Tv Show Of peer Gynt' Hamlet Of Scandinavia

Albert McCleery, producer-di-
rector of the NBC televisio
Cameo theater, offers new ap-
proach to drama in television with
his presentation of Henrik Ibsen's
celebrated Peer Gynt" in three
parts, closing March 9.
The title role is played by
Douglas Montgomery. former AM
erican film star who appeared as
Peer Gynt at the Pasadena Play
house just 20 years ago. Aase,
Peers mother, is acted by Leon
ore Shanewise, now senior direc-
tor of the playhouse, who had
the same role in the 1882 perform
ance at Pasadena. The Woman in
Green is portrayed by Claire Luce,
well-known stage and screen star.
and Rita Gam is Ingrid, who was
Peers first love.
David Hall, director of Ameri-
can Scandinavian Foundation S
Music Center, has been engaged
to supervise the musical part Of
the production, which features the
most popular melodies in Edward
Griegs Peer Gynt Suite" as we'll
as good deal of Harald Saevrud S
ultra-modern program music for
Peer Gynt." This marks the first
time Saeverud's compositions are
being used in connection with a
television program. Many of the
records to be played have been re-
corded in Norway by Oslo Phil
harmonic Orchestra.
Everyman Theme
Described as a poetic drama
Peer Gynt" was written in 1876.
Ibsen based it on the legendary
Peer Gynt of Morse folklore and
followed the multiple adventures
of the reckless and charming Peer
at his farm home, in the domain
of the trolls, in, A merica and
North Africa, poking fun at hu-
man frailities and conceit. Pro-
ducer-director McCleery says Of
Ibsens masterpiece: This is the
Hamlet of the Scandinavians. It
is man searching for himself, the
'Everyman' theme"
Francis Bull, noted professor of
literature at Oslo University, des-
cribes Peer Gynt as a character
egotistically sufficient unto HIM
self. Cowardly avaiding all diff
culties, he refuses to take a firm
stand or make definite decision
until the end is near. Yet, des-
pite all his mendacity and mean
neess, Peer Gynt is rich in imagi-
nation, humor and charm, and so
wonderfully human that every
reader or spectator can apply to
himself Ibsen's words: However
thin the blood. one always feels
akin to Peer Gynt."
NOrway's Hamlet
The Norwegian literateur con-
clues: "A large proportion of the
winged words in the English Ian
guage is desireved from Shakes
peare's Hamlet; with us it is
Ibsens Peer Gynt which occupies
a similar place. In any single poem
entitled to be called the chief work
in Norwegian literature, it must
be Peer Gynt"
Guy de Vry's script for the
