The Goth Century-Fox prod
cast, has all the qualifications of
a sleeper" which refers to a
movie that surprises the day
lights out of everyone by being
better than expected. There are
those who think this applies to
any moderately good picture, but
these are churls unworthy of
Of membership in polite society.
violent Saturday" to get
with it, is much better picture
than its title. 1t is a melodrama,
what else. and more provocative
than usual because it bothers to
take a look at the moral level of
an entire community. The result
OF this scrutiny is the dramatic
disclosure that the difference
between the so-called best peo-
pie and the worst is shockingly
less than most of us realize.
To illustrate, there's a bank
cashier who is a Peeping Tom by
night; a young society matron
who by her own confession is a
tramp; a harmless looking
librarian who is willing to steal
to get out of debt, and the son of
a copper baron whose hobby is
alcoholism.
Dragged out of context this
abruptly. these creatures imply a
deliberate effort on Producer
Buddy Adler's part to be sensa-
tional. Provocatively, that is not
the case. violent Saturday"
goes rather quietly, if inexor-
ably about making it's point that
few of us can afford to throw
stones whether or not we own
picture windows.
Bradenville, a rich community
out in the starkly Scared copper
country, is the setting of "Vio-
lent Saturday" It's bank is
chosen as a worthy target by a
trio OF smoothies headed by
Stephen McNally. This is a gang
that cases its jobs carefully and
while it is going about the design
OF its holdup, Producer Adler's
cameras scan Bradenville's peo-
pie.
These turn out to be a lot
more refreshing and interesting
than any equivalent number
moviegoers have met recently.
And, thanks to Director Richard
Fieischer's skill, each is real
enough that the moviegoer can
care what happens to him.
The little mouse of a librarian
for instance. Why should she
have to steal? And isn't it
spunky of her when she dis
covers the Peeping Tom side of
the bank cashier that it gives
her a sense of power over him?
And the pretty young society
wife who wishes she had the
strength not to play golf just to
keep a rendezvous with Braden-
vllle's most talented wolf.
1t must be clear by now that
Director Fleischer has been
given a dizzily involved plot, but
the merit of Violent Saturday"
is the precision with which he
Keeps its strands in both clear
focus and proper relationship.
There is even an Amish family
whose belief in nonviolence even
IN the face of death figures
vividly in the climax of violent
Saturday"
There is no lack of momentum
IN the Capitol's melodrama. This.
obviously, is all to the good. Not
SO good, but less of a flaw than
1t might prove in many another
picture, is the too pat wrap-up
OF the story at the end.
1t is a virtue of Violent Sat-
urday" that its performances are
pitched in that quiet key that
permits them to be seen in a
frame of reference that is more
l1felike than Hollywoodlike.
Among the performers who
merit bow for this quality of
work in the picture are Victor

 FARM - Secretary of agri- eul.ure Benson, under fire from Democrats and some oth- CTS who center criticism on the administrations flexible farm price support policy, appealed to the public for ideas on how to solve the riddles of over production, surpluses and fall ing grower income.
 In a speech prepared for the annual convention of the Na- tional Grange in Cleveland, Benson said anything will be considered except return to the old fixed high-level supports. He said the admin stration has made progress to- ward a solution but conceded flexible supports alone will not do the job.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (P) Congressman supporting a de- claration of a state of seize won a test vo in the chamber of de puties today.
 Final action on the measure to give the president Nereu Ra- mos wide powers in coping with political strife was expected in late afternoon.
 In the test vote, the chamb- CT voted l162 flo 69 to have a standing vote on final passage instead of the usual roll call, which would put each deputy on record.
 After final passage the mea- sure would have to go to the senate.
 Chief aim of the s. ate of seige asked by Ramos is to block any supreme court action to rein sta.e Joao Cafe Filho, who took sick leave from the presidency two weeks ago.
 Opponents of Cafe fear he would permit a coup pr other action which would prevent president elect Juscelino Kub- itschek from being inaugurated on Jan. 31.
 The chamber of deputies and senate already have rejected ACafe's bid to resume his office which he left on Nev. 3 after suffering a heart attack. He has been under virtual house arrest but army troops and tanks sur rounding his apartment were removed today. leaving only a 50 man federal police guard.

.Hutoyan1u wins

TOKYO (P) Prime minister Hatoyama won overwhelming reelection today, formed a new right-of-center administration with his newly merged Liberal Democrats.
 The program he immediately announced hints at closer rela- tions with communist nations and perhaps dropping some Am erican occupation reforms, but it is expected Hatoyama's new administration will in reality be even friendlier to the Unit ed States than his two previous governments since last Decem- Der.
 At his first press conference Hatoyan1a said he was deter mined to seek normal relations with the Soviet Union.

came back to strip the dead and re-
trieve their boats. Benham was near
ly famished but let them pass without
making a sound. He was afraid he
would be tomahawked IL discovered.
The evening of the second day
Benham noticed a raccoon coming
down one of the trees nearby and
shot 1t hoping to devise some way to
get it and make a meal out of the
animal. At the roar Of the gun a shout
came from the bushes about so yards
away. Fearing it was an Indian ruse
Benham did not answer but made
ready to fire again. After more sup
plication he did answer and another
survivor came out of the brush. He
had been shot through both arms
and both were broken.
The newcomer kicked the raccoon
to Benham who cooked it over fire
he made and they both ate, Benham
feeding the other man. Holding Ben
hams hat in his teeth he brought
water from a creek and thus they
both lived in the tree top for weeks
while their wounds healed enough
to permit travel.
Then with the newcomer walking
and carrying Benham on his shoulders
astride his neck, the two made their
way through the woods to the Ohio
River bank. There they built crude
shed for shelter while waiting for
some boat to come along.
It was November 81, 1778, before

The little fleet of keel boats was

Indian bullets and was adequately
manned they carried 79 we'll armed
men including Colonel Rogers, who
had commanded them in conveying
flotilla of emigrants' flat-boats to
Bear Grass. now Louisville, and was
returning up the Ohio River to Pitts
burgh. 1t was autumn, 1778 and the
War for Independence was on.
AS they neared the bottoms where
Cincinnati 10 years later was laid
out the soldiers noticed a few Indian
canoes in mid river flee at their ap-
proach and a little further on turn
into the mouth of Deer Creek. Being
80 much better armed and outnumber-
ing the savages 80 strongly, Rogers
boats pursued the canoes into the
creek.
A little up creek they found the
canoes abandoned and the Indians
gone. So mooring their own boats the
whole party went afoot into the
woods to hunt out the savages. They
found them-more than 500 blood
thirsty, war-painted Indians hidden
in the bushes to ambush the white
men after the canoes in the river had
lured them in.
OF Rogers well equipped fighting
men only nine escaped-the other 20
were killed on the spot. Indian guns,
tomahawlks, hunting knives and ar
rows, all took their toll. One Of the
survivors was Robert Benham who
was shot through both thighs but

his wounds Benham dragged his rifle
and ammunition along.
