They have found a dramatic
setting for white Feather" an
indian wars recall in Cinema
Scope, which opened today at
Loew's Palace.
It's craggy, colorful beauty,
in fact, not only dominates the
goth Century-Fox production
but explains more than any ele-
ment in the screenscript why
the Cheyenne tribe fought 50
fiercely against the white in
vader.
Apart from this virtue, how
ever, and the currently fashion,
able idea of such films that the
Indians were mistreated, White
Feather" is a formula film which
is too thoroughly resigned to its
cliches. It's stars are Robert Wag-
ner and Debra Paget, who are
ornamental enough but artisti-
cally too inexperienced to catch
the dramatic throb of historic
conflict.
A reputedly factual narrative
provides the inSpiration of
White Feathers" screenscript.
written deftly enough by Delmar
Dawes and Leo Townsend.
It's principal figure in terms
Of drama is not the one played
by Wagner, but a ferociously
proud young Cheyenne, Little
Dog. played by Jeffrey Hunter.
Little Dog, son Of Broken Hand,
is an Indian who is ready to fight
the United States cavalry single
handed, indeed does so. in order
to save his tribal hunting ground.
His gallant one-man stand.
however, is the main bout. so to
speak, after a great many rou-
tine preliminaries. Wagner, as
a young surveyor who under
stands Indians, participates in
most of these. They have to do,
first, with his efforts to convince
Little Dog that he is standing
unreasonably in the way Of prog
ress; and, second, with symbolic
ing the good neighbor policy by
marrying Little Dogs sister,
played by Miss Paget.
Robert Webb's direction Of
white Feather" is calculated
to wrest q maximum of excite
ment out of the material avail
able to him. Photographically
he never misses, but only in the
occasional incident of the action
does he find real inspiration
AS for the pictures climax, it
is one of those situations that
is too big for either the director
or his cast.
Noteworthy smaller touches
are added to the film by the per-
formances of John Lund Noah
Beery, Eduard Franz, Virginia
Leith and Emile Meyer.

Station A01utenL ----- Guy MlooleVon
Don't be misled by the mis-
guided whimsy Of the title. Fuss
Over Feathers" at the Colony
Is a captivating film. a charmer
In the best tradition Of those dis
arming British comedies.
It is an account Of the defeat
Of the Raj by a group Of coastal
vallagers who refuse to surrender
q 2,000-year-old bird sanctuary
rs a jet plane target range. In
flavor, it is close to such earlier
films as Passport to Pimlico"
and "The Tawny Pippit," a pair
of memorable samples Of the
simple life's refusal to bow to
progress.
That it may have occurred to
the films producers that the pic
lure would prove irresistible to
al yearners for the simple life
only goes to show the compati-
bility of the British artistic and
commercial instincts.
John Gregson CGenevieveD
and Muriel Pavlow head the cast
which is only too delighted to
show that governments still can
be bent to the will Of invincible
citizens. And. furthermore. that
these vital victories can be won
without loss of good nature on
the part Of either side.
Norfolk's coastal Island OF
Children is the setting Of the
Colony film, and nature could
look no lovelier nor more invit-
Ing anywhere. Here, humans and
birds have lived a tranquil idyll
since the Romans, until the Raj
decides it needs the area for
rocket practice. .
That instantly draws the bat
tie lines for one Of the most
bitterly fought but amiable sp1r-
tied conflicts anyone ever was
inspired to put on film. The VIII
layers sympathize with the Raj,
the latter with the villagers.
They have been congenial neigh
bors for years, but this is a ques-
ton of not merely human rights
but bird rights, fateful COM
bination.
AS usual, the players in Fuss
Over Feathers" see that the
people involved are made COM
pletely real and altogether at
tractive. These are. principally,
the dreamy idealistic girl (Miss
Pavlow); her Raj suitor, played
by Gregson; the stormy petrol
villager, a retired navy man, by
Mall MacGinnis, and the frus-
trated RAF squadron leader, by
Kieron Moore.
1t is sheer visual poetry that
has been captured by Director
John Eldridge's Technicolor
cameras in the film at the Col
ony. Perhaps no scenes should
be singled out as the films best,
but two that are unlikely soon
to be forgotten are the race be-
tween the villagers and the RAF'
bombers for the target area, and
that in which the planes are de-
fed to fire their rockets by the
valiant bird lovers.
Make a note Of Fuss Over
Feathers" in spite Of that title.

specialist at the University of

In fact, says Anderson, strange

He says recent studies indicate
a newcomer to the herd is the
most frequent cause of psycholog-

The intrusion creates excite

Airman Schmidt and Wife
On Belated Honeymoon,
Divorce Plans Cancelled

PORTLAND, Ore, "a sur
prise reconciliation put Altman
Daniel Schmidt and his wife Una
on belated honeymoon yester-
day and wiped out his plans for
a divorce.
She came here Wednesday after
he had talked with her by tele-.
phone at her hideout near San
Jose, Calf, and their reunion,
said a neighbor, twas something
to see."
They promptly went into seclu-
sion and were reported to be at
an Oregon beach resort today.
Schmidt was released from a
Red Chinese prison last month to
learn his wife said that she had
thought him dead and had mar
ried another man. In California,
where he spent three weeks try
| ing to untangle his problem,
! Schmidt filed for divorce and
asked custory of their small son.
But, said the neighbor, "He
loved her and she loved him, and
they never had a chance to get
together Since he got back they
had only seen each other across a
desk with a lawyer present You
can't settle anything that way"

Jaguars Open
Grid Practice

Ushering in the 1866 grid sea-
son here last week were the South
ern University Jaguar Cats, who
needed the annual call from Coach
A. w. Mumford-
Early predictions are that the
Jaguars will be unusually well
stocked with talent, especially that
of the freshmen variety and that
the local eleven will be the heav-
lest in quite a few seasons.
On tap for the Cats will be a
two-a-day drill, which will continue
until the beginning of classes
fortnight hence. Calisthenics with
special emphasis on getting every
gridder into the best possible shape
in the shortest time will take up
most of the opening sessions. After
that the Cats staff will resort to
the teaching of fundamentals and
will probably round out the first
ten-day working with light contact
drills.
The Jaguars have but three
weeks before prying the lid off the
campaign, when they meet the
highly respected Texas Southern
Tigers, who are making a strong
bid for a high place in the South
western Conference.

However, he said, he has received
many complaints that registered
and qualified Negroes were denied
the right to vote in both the origi-
nal primary on August 2, and the
run-off on August %.
Justice Department Aides said
FBI agents are already at work
on the investigation which will go
into the question whether civil
rights violations took place.
The civil rights law under which
the attorney general apparently
intends to proceed makes it I'M
lawful to conspire to injure, OPP
press, threaten, or intimidate, any
citizen in the free exercise or en-
joyment of any right or privilege
secured to him by the Constitution
and laws of the United States.
According to reports just about
every possible method short of &C
tual violence was used to stop
Negroes in various sections of the
state from voting in the August
elections, including the reported
receipt by a Negro of a note saying:
"VOte and Die"
Far from taking a cynical view
of the situation, Negro leaders of
the state say that the only hope
for anything like real democracy
in Mississippi is the two-party
system in the whole South, which
can only be supported by Fed
eral law making it mandatory that
all citizens of the United States
automatically assume the right to
vote upon reaching the age of ma
iority.
Negro leaders also pointed out
that in his report at the conclusion
of the investigation the attorney
general would perhaps accomplish

most by including in the report that
the Republican party take immed-
late steps to break up it's west
pocket" organization and begin a
sincere effort for the organization
of the Republican party in the
South.
In commenting on the newly con-
ceived efforts to disfranchise the
Negro in Mississippi, and the at
torney generals investigation,
Percy Greene, President and Ex-
ecutive Director, and Founder of
the Mississippi Association of Ne
gro Democrats Clubs, under whose
leadership and influence most of the
states estimated $4,000 Negro
voters became qualified said, the
newly conceived efforts to totally
disfranchise the Negro in Missis-
sippi seems at the moment almost
certain of success, but can be main
tanned only by appeals to the base
instincts and emotions of both the
Negro and white masses, with re-
sultant hatred and bitterness which
will inevitably lead to more of such
incidents like the Till Staying bring
ing Mississippi and Mississippians
into further illrepute in the eyes of
the rest of the nation, and of the
world.
Pointing to the fact that chair
man Tom Tubb of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee was
taken the lead in the newly con-
ceived effort to disfranchise the
Negro in the state in the face of the
law recently enacted by the state
legislature to make it more difficult
for Negroes to qualify to vote,
Greene said, that in Mississippi
only the most intelligent and better
thinking Negroes have become
qualified, and are seeking the right
to vote, and that it is matter
that the white leaders of the Demo-
crat Party in the state have been
unable to see, and are apparently
unwilling to take advantage of their
deep seated desire to cooperate with
the leading white people in order
to make Mississippi a better state
for all it's people.
Seeing as the main issue behind
the newly conceived efforts to dis.
franchise the Negroes of the state

"But we feel there is still room

added.
He said "our feeling is that the
way to get at the problem is by
discussion and education rather
than by punitive action"
He said the conference is to

which Vice President Richard M.

Atty. Sydney Carlton, one of
the five defense lawyers after the
indictments were returned said
that the defendants want quick
action in the trial.
Under Mississippi law, conviction
for murder carries the maximum
penalty of death, kidnapping a
maximum sentence of ten years.
The indictments were returned
