hero is played by Richard Egan
with Just the right amount of re-
morse that he is the fastest gun
in the West instead of the un-
stained fellow he once was.
Moreover, it is not only in this
respect but in all others that
count that Tension at Table
Rock" keeps the faith with the
Westerns that have been prov
ing most popular of late. This
is to say that it is handsome to
look at in RKO's colored photog-
raphy, keeps its suspense taut
but low pressued. and winds up
with all debts squared.
Winston Miller's screen play.
directed by Charles Marquis
Warren, is as lean and laconic
as its sort of thing can get.
It presents Egan, its hero, as
right guy whose good motives
cannot keep him from entangle-
ments with the wrong company.
In breaking with this gang, he
finds it necessary to shoot his
old leader. The killing is en-
tirely sportsmanlike, conforming
in every respect to the code.
This is not the way it is re-
ported. however, and pretty soon
Egan finds himself the subject
of a ballad, THE Ballad of Yves
Tancred," all about a guy who
shoots his best friend in the
back.
Rather than shooting down
everybody in the West for sing
ing the song. he takes a new
name. and settles in Table Rock
hoping in his quiet. lonely way
to start a new life. He might
have done this, too, except for
the fact that Table Rock is sud-
denly submerged in bad guys who
have come to town in a cattle
drive.

Director Warren are reconciled
to the fact that there is little
novelty in the plot of the Nets
film. They aim merely to make
the most of each of its familiar
turnings and in this they see
that Egan's portrait of Yves is
entitled to hang beside those of
Alan Laid, Gary Cooper, Spencer
Tracy and Gregory Peck. The
shots these fired in their top
flight westerns, like Egan's were
in virtue and not in anger.
One irritating loose end of the
script is left dangling in the
picture. 1t has to do with the
girl in the first scene who
hangs the e-shot-him-in-the-
back legend on poor Yves. She
never does show up again and
1t leaves a man uneasy that she
is still around to play the same
dirty trick on some other good
guy.

The witness said he discussed
with Hughes three alternative
methods of handling the ma

veloped by Hughes. He said
they discussed either turning
over the completed material to
the Department of Justice, a

Mr.. Rauh said Hughes had
agreed to this suggestion and
that they had considered the
New York Post and the New

on the Washington Post.
Mr.. Rauh said they chose the
Washington Post because he be-
lieved that newspaper had an
adequate staff and facilities to
check whatever material was
submitted to it and also because
he (Mr. RauhD had friends on

told a House Commerce SUBJ
committee hearing:
II would not hesitate to say
that it was a definite collision.
Earlier he testified that "TWA
had full responsibility for main
tanning separation" of the two
|airliners after it had changed
flight plans.
The TWA Super Constellation
and United Airlines DC-7 COL
lided over Grand Canyon last
Saturday witha loss of 1913 lives.
1t was history'S worst commercial
aviation disaster. Both planes
were eastbound from Los Ange-
les and took off only three
minutes apart.
Flies to Hearing
Mr.. Andrews, whose home is
in Bethesda, Md, flew here from
the Grand Canyon, 1876 airline
miles away, to testify. He has
been heading the CAB investiga-
ton at the wreck scene. His
statement was the first official
recognition that the two planes
collided. although all physical
facts Of the accident pointed
to it.
An Air Force spokesman at
the scene earlier this week re-
ported finding interlocked metal
parts of the two planes, as we'll
as paint from one on parts of the
other.
The nine-man House subcom-
mittee heard three officials of
the CAB and Civil Aeronautics
Administration in open hearing
before going into executive ses-
sion.
Mr.. Andrews told the subcom-
mittee:
"TWA was advised that United
Air Lines was traffic. There is
no indication that United Air
Lines was advised TWA was
traffic"
/ One Pilot Had Been Advised
BY this, Mr.. Andrews meant
that the TWA pilot had been
advised that the United Airliner
was flying at $1,000 feet before
being granted permission to
change his elevation from 10000
feet to 1000 feet on top" of
thunderclouds.
The top of the thunderclouds
was estimated at about 10000
feet. which also put TWA in the
81 ,000-foot range.
Mr.. Andrews. first witness at
the subcommittee bearing pre-
sided over by Representative
Oren Harris, Democrat of Ar
kansas, also said:
United was on IFR Ljnstru-
ment fight rulesl control as it
crossed the airways. The TWA
captain was free to go up and
down as he saw fit because he
was on VFR visual flight
rulesl.
Pressed by Congressman, Mr..
Andrews agreed that the only
safety factor under the circum-
stances was 1.-The sight of the
pilot given the VFR clearance. /"
By this. Mr.. Andrews said. he
meant that it was the TWA
pilots responsibility to be on
the lookout for and avoid the
United plane.
"TWA had full responsibility
for maintaining separation, "
Mr.. Andrews told the subcom-
mittee.
