The Passing Show

One has not far to look for
some fairly conclusive evidence
that the living theater is not
going to die.
Only as far as Catholic Uni
versity Theater where Sopho-
cles' 2,500-year-old "Antigone"
is holding audiences as hushed
and tense as they have been
since the drama was discovered
as the best way to tell a story.
Contemporary plays may
seem wan as compared with
this remote progenitor. That is
not the point. The point is
that play written in 442 or
AL B. c.. can have such vi
brant life as the Sophoclean
melodrama does on the uni
versity theater stage.
Unfeozed by Sd
So long as "Antigone" can
have this effect, the techni-
clans can go as mad as they
please with big-screen, third
dimension movies and the
electronic magic that already
can produce colored television
entertainment. The day may
even come when these miracle
inventions will be pressed into
the service of showing why
Sophocles is immortal and
Milton Berle cannot endure
longer than current audiences
can endure him.
A television "Antigone" is
not likely tomorrow or next
week. It is virtually inevitable,
however. that some day some
discriminating producer will
have to face its viability. That
is the day on which new mil
lions will discover that writer's
who get richer in a week than
Sophocles in a lifetime are in
credibly his interiors.
Catholic University. which
has had a singular success with
the ancient Greek playwrights,
owes it in large part to the
only common sense definition
of a classic"
Not a Musty Tome
1t does not regard a play in
this category as a mustily pre-
cious piece of writing to be
preserved on a library shelf.
A classic, instead, is a play
that enjoyed such extraordi-
nary popularity with the
masses that it became a classic
and, under the new label, un-
popular. This unpopularity is
a ridiculous perversion of logic
of which. for one, Catholic
University's lively entertain
ment makers are so ashamed
they undertake to correct it.
So. they produce ".Antigone"
and prove there has not been a
melodrama so exciting since
the last production of Anti
gone"
Hidden behind the plays
strange title. the name of a
beautiful, nobly born, fire-eat-
ing girl, is a story that would
curdle the blood Of a Mickey

ent of this department who
showed concern over the disap-
pearance of Hollywood Screen

really to get away from it all.

Wetherbee Awaits
Sentence; Silent on
Seized Mariijjuana
By Joseph B. Byrnes

The key to how much mari
juana. If any, is missing from
a record seizure remains locked
in a District Jail cell today with
John r. Wetherbee, convicted
owner of the drug.
In less than four hours, the
29-year-old New Yorker was
tried without a jury yesterday
and found guilty by Judge Wal
ter M. Bastian of the U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District Of
Columbia.
Convicted on two counts of
possessing and transporting
658,1 grainS-97.99 pounds
Of marijuana. Wetherbee was re-
manded to jail. pending a pre-
sentence report. He faces a max
imum of 10 years.
Trial for the former Univer-
sity of Mexico student, who
studied horticulture to better
understand his business of run
ming marijuana from south of
the border. was secondary to the
puzzle of the missing weed.
Carper Not q Witness.
Spectators also were diSap-
pointed by the failure of 1t. H.
H. Carper, former head Of the
police Narcotics Squad and his
chief aide, Sergt. William l..
Taylor, to appear.
It was Carper, Detective Guy
w. Holcomb testified, who re-
ceived the original tip Wetherbee
was in town, and who MASTER
minded his arrest at Ninth and
E streets NV, on June 20, 1851.
Prosecutor John Lane de-
clined to call the pair because,
had he done so, he would have
had to vouch for their credibil-
ity, Carper and Taylor are
awaiting trial charged with a
narcotics conspiracy and of ac-
cepting bribes from local dope
peddlers.
Asked by Defense Counsel Ber-
nard MargoliuS if he intended to
call the policemen, Mr.. Lane re-
piled, "They are not under sub
poena. The witnesses are not
available to the Government"
Carper had boasted that 1913
pounds Of marijuana-the largest
seizure in United States history
were taken from the New
Workers. Buick sedan.
100 Pounds Turned Over.
However, when Treasury Of
ficials said only about 100 pounds
had been turned over for dis
posal, Carper announced he had
not weighed the drug and his
figure was an incorrect estimate.
DR.. James L. Young, Treasury
Department chemist, testified
yesterday he received from po-
lice 169 green and white plastic
bags containing a total Of 97.99
pounds of marijuana.
Failing in his efforts to have
his arrested declared illegal.
Wetherbee put on no defense and
refused to take the stand, there
by preventing either Mr.. Lane or
his own lawyer from asking him
the exact weight of the weed
hidden in the body panels of his
auto.
The bespetacled defendant was
indicted in July, 1851, and
jumped bond shortly thereafter.
He was unheard from until De-
cember 81, when he gave himself
up to his roommate, a Richmond
California; narcotics squad
member.
For 18 months police, United
States Attorney Charles M. Irelan
and a grand jury have been at
tempting to determine how much,
if any, of the drug was missing.

By The Assoeiessd Pre-.

ROCKY MOUNT, N. c., Aug.
IA high State Baptist oficial
today answered charges by a
minister who has threatened to
resign his pastorate unless his
congregation withdrawS from
the Southern Baptist Conven-
<tion.
The resignation threat was
made Wednesday by the Rev.
Samuel H. w. Johnston. pastor
Of North Rocky Mounts 1900
member Baptist church. He
attacked the convention for
what he termed its lack Of
foreign missions and for its sup
port Of two colleges, Wake Forest
in North Carolina and the Uni
versity Of Richmond in Virginia.
The congregation is scheduled
to vote August 8 on the pastors
resignation ultimatum.
Says Missions are Sighted.
Mr.. Johnston charged that
only 2.7 per cent of every dollar
given to the Southern Baptist
Conventions cooperative pro-
gram goes to foreign missions.
During his attack on the col
leges, he introduced Howard
Wallace, a Rocky Mount buSi-
nessman who said he had re-
ceived reports that whisky is
hauled into Wake Forest dormi-
tories "by the truckload." Mr..
Wallace said one Of his relatives
had attended the University Of
Richmond and had left as ian
infldel."
Answering Mr.. JohnSton'S
charges, the Rev. Douglas M.
Branch, president Of the North
Carolina Baptist State Conven-
ton, said the report concerning
the proportion of cooperative
program money spent by the
Southern Baptist Convention
for foreign missions was mac
curate. He declared the conven-
tion's foreign mission board gets
39.71 per cent Of the co-opera-
tive program dollar.
Professors Defended.
He also noted that Wake
Forest and the University Of
Richmond are supported by Bap-
lists Of North Carolina and Vir-
ginia and the Southern Baptist
Convention has no connection
with them.
DR.. Harold Tribble, president
Of Wake Forest, could not be
reached for comment, but Mr..
Branch quoted from a letter he
had received from him. In it,
DR.. Tribble defended Wake
Forest professors for their Chris
tian faith and invited the North
Rocky Mount Church's officials
to inspect the college.
Mr.. Branch declared that if
any one had received reliable re-
ports Of whisky law violations
at Wake Forest, he is obligated
as a citizen to report it to police.
He termed the charges "irre-
sponSible."
