Montgomery Cliff. This is a
priest accused of murder and
likely to die for the crime be-
cause the seal of the confess
sional makes it impossible to
name the real killer.
With the aid of a cast which
includes Anne Baxter, Brian
Aherne. and Karl Maiden, Hitch
cock revertS to his old mastery
of suspense IN II Confess" The
familiar touch" is evident also
in the directors selection of
Quebec as the setting of his film
There is lot of pictorial drama
in the ancient city on the st.
Lawrence. Hitchcock uses it's
majestic plateaus and dark.
twisting, walled streets and alleys
with a f1awless sense of dramatic
effect.
II Confess" is an adaptation
of a French play by Paul An
theime. by George Tabori and
William Archibald. Hitchcock
chose Quebec as its setting, not
merely to bring the story nearer
Rome, but because the province
is still the one place where the
caSSock is worn at all times by
members of the Catholic clergy
1t is this garment that plays so
prominent a part in the identi-
flcaticn of the accused murderer
1t is an intriguing plot that
Hitchcock offers his faithful fol-
lowers in II Confess" He is not
in pursuit of a murderer here.
The audience knows who the
murderer is by virtue of hearing
his confession to Father Logan
(Clift) in the Church of Santa
Maria. The suspense of the pic
ture lies in the question: Will
the finally suspected priest die
without violating the seal of
the confessional because the po-
lice are satisfied with the cir
cumstantial evidence against
him?
Hitchcock makes sure that not
a single element of this circum-
Staptial case is wasted in "I Con-
fess."
Encouraging him in the effort
Is the fact that he is dealing
with an interesting lot of people
His accused priest, the picture
makes clear, is a man who could
have a motive for killing the
dead man. This unprincipled
character was blackmailing the
sweetheart (Miss Baxter) of the
priests adolescent days as a re-
suit of having caught the inno-
cent couple in a compromising
situation before the young cleric
became a Seminarian.
This, together with the fact
that witnesses described the ap-
parent slayer as wearing a cas-
sock. is enough to satisfy a tough
police inspector and the crown
prosecutor that a murder indict-
ment is in order.
Some expertly polished per-
formanceS of the kind that are
expected of Hitchcock actors are
extremely helpful to IT Confess"
The film makes much of the
fact that it is almost as incon-
ceivable to Cliff that he could
be arrested for murder as that
he could be tempted to reveal
the confession of the killer to
him in church. Yet. when he
knows he is about to be arrested,
he is human enough to find
himself with a battle of con-
science on his hands-in one
quick scene of which he studies
his image outlined in a gray
flannel suit in an expensive
haberdaShery window.
Miss Baxter'S character, a
more conventional one, is almost
as dramatic. If the priest is
unwilling to save himself, she
will attempt to spare him, by
relating the story of her love
and the failure of her marriage
to another man.

General Electric Credit Corpora
ton and others - through whom
John @. public pays for his auto
mobiles, radios, electrical appli-
anceS and a galore of other items
their hearts are made to bleed
as they see a sea of White men
and women and girls taking in
money and giving receipts for Mr..
and Mrs. Negro Americas money,
which provide a great portion of
the bread and butter for the
White employees but only a
crumb for a Negro janitor or maid.
Sepia Americans buy millions
of dollars worth of automobiles
but there is seemingly an unwrit-
ten law in sections of the United
States which is against their be-
ing employed by automobile deal
ers to sell automobiles even to Sc
pia Americans except as fish
hook sales hustlers for White
statesmen on strictly hand out
basis. And where there is some
attempt to qualify, they run into
unSurmountable difficulties in
getting banks to finance their
operations.
This is the situation in a null
titude of areas of America. And
this is representative Of an as
pect of the domestic Iron Curtain
which excludes all but the pale
face.
The National Baptist Conven-
ton is meeting in Miami and
Denver come September. From
them should come memoranda on
this unholy situation to the auto
mobile manufacturers, home ap-
pliance manufacturers and other
merchandise and credit corpora
tons, on the national level. Later

the South and bids fair to affect
the whole nation with a cancer
Gus condition beyond control OF
any earthly power. 1t may well
destroy civilization much sooner
than any atom hydrogen bomb.
This situation leads to the pro-
duction of hate ridden and world
killers of the American dream as
exhibited when a young Negro
woman with a companion applied
at an applicants drivers license
test bureau in Birmingham re-
Gently.
The driving test officer inquir-
ed, (Which Of you wants to take

toward the young woman'S COM

"What young lady? I don't see
nothing but niger gal"
The young lady, who is a re-
cent graduate of Talladega Col
lege, was gruffly instructed by
the officer, "Well, get in and let's
get it over with" To which she
replied: "No, don't want to take
the test, because I know I could
never pass with your attitude"
To which the cop replied, II don't
give a damn"

who refer to Negro litigates as
