it is up to Fonda to convince bis
IL fellows that neither Of two
positive eye-witnesses to the ac-
cuseds' stabbing of his brutal
father could actually have seen
the act. This is by no means
an easy thing to do. Neverthe-
less. it is simple as compared
with the need to convince one
juror that he actually hates
all adolescents and another that
slum life does not necessarily
breed criminals exclusively.
There is no pretense, fortu-
nately. that "12 Angry Men"
covers the sum total of human
nature as this reveals itself in
jury rooms. The films concern,
instead. is to make the dramatic
most Of the particular elements
that it does have to deal with.
This it does with more than
enough impact to make az
Angry Men" an eloquent and
engroSsing film, faulty directed,
and wildly acted by a solid cast.
Fonda's, of course, is the
quietly heroic performance and
IA convincing one every step of
the way. But there are corking
others. Warden's as the juror
who votes guilty so he can get
to a baseball game: Cobb's as a
psychotic father who wants
vengeance on all members of his
sons generation: Joseph Swee-
ney as the elderly man with
hearing sharp enough to catch
the voice Of conscience; and E.
G. Marshall as the broker irked
TO find himself mixed up with
anything so sordid as a slum
murder case. Begley is superb
as the Juror who loathes all slum
products.
For the blistering things 1t
has to say, and also for the ones
which it tactfully avoids as be-
yond its scope. the discriminate

posedly IL good men and true
charged with judging a boy &C.
cussed of murder.
Through the character of its
star. Henry Fonda. the screen
play makes the hair-raising
point that IL of the IL approach
their duty in an attitude that
is recklessly irresponsible. Re-
ginald Rose who wrote the
script, and with Fonda its CO.
producer. is by no means at
lacking the jury system. He is
reporting instead on a crime
that could easily be committed
in its honorable name by faulty
human nature.
Sidney Lumet who directed the
film has given it spine-chilling
plausibility with the help of
Fonda and an inspired cast
which also includes Lee ]. Cobb.
Ed. Begley, E. G. Marshall and
Jack Warden.
AS an expansion of a television
original by Rose. "12 Angry Men"
again under scores the big
screens debt to its small. often
delinquent brother.
AHA
The entire action Of ~ Angry
Men" takes place in one Of those
worn backrooms Of justice where
juries sit. Instead of being suf-
located in the confined area.
Lumet uses it to give his story
bite.
His directoral intention is to
use his camera as an X-ray on
the consciences of his jurors.
This he does with minimum ex-
pense of time when. on the first
vote. Fonda as Juror No. 8 dis
sentS on sending the accused
boy to the electric chair.
AS a responsible citizens, a quiet
architect, he explains that this
negative is a demand that the
case at least be deliberated. With
q young human life in the bal
ance. he is opposed to precipitate
decision merely for such reasons
as that one juror wants to go to
q ball game Nor another's that
juvenile delinquents should be
taught a lesson.
Now, the fight is on and before
1t is finished a lot Of light is to
be shed on the attitudes with
which a variety Of human types
approach one Of their most exact
ing duties. It is a conflict that
produces an amazing amount of
absorbing detail.
This latter deals not merely
with the cleverness with which
evidence Is handled by court
room rivals but also with the
feady-made convictions Of Jurors.

The resolution called ON the

Commissioners, the National
Capital Housing Authority, the
Redevelopment Land Agency, the
National Capital Planning Coun-
ell, the Housing and Home FL

The council also adopted a
resolution charging that hous-

The area is bounded by Florida
avenue, Sixteenth street, Irving

gineering.
The resolution also urged the
Commissioners to have their
Corporation Counsel watch for
and comment on any bills in
Congress which might affect the
District, other than those which
specifically refer to the Nation S
Capital.
The resolution stressed that
the Federal Government has an
Overriding influence" in Wash

sions must be accepted by the
District inhabitants, even when
they are harmful to the in
habitantS."
Point to Responsibility
At the same time, however, the
council declared that 1.-The Gov
eminent of the United States
must assume the responsibility
for every aspect of existence of
the District of Columbia" in view
OF its paramount position here.
Also, it called for Qualification
from Congress to spell out the
needs and desires of the Fed
eral Government relative
to political. geographic. social,
financial and physical aspects of
existence of the District and its
inhabitants"
The resolution warned that
constant shifting of subsidiary
Federal activities obviously cause
continually varying needs for
lands, buildings and relative
services" Also, the resolution
said, ANY radical change in the
location of Federal employment

Laying Hen Flocks

million birds raised this year is
less than one-third of the num-
Der raised in 1913.
Guellow says that over peri
cd of years Maryland poultryrnen
have cut back egg production
sharper than the country as
whole but the Is per cent decline
from last year is the same as for
the nation.
Only two states show increases
over 1856. They are South Caro-
lima, up 2 per cent, and Utah, up
g per cent.
Decreasing numbers of laying
hens is due mainly to an increas-
ing rate of lay per bird, according
to Guellow. 1t now takes fewer
layers to provide us with our egg
supply.

Maryland farmers have about
10 per cent fewer hens in laying
flocks this year than in 1856, to
continue a trend that started
downward in 1914.
Creighton N. Guellow of the
Maryland-Delaware Crop Report
ing Service, says the number of
hens on Maryland farms this year
is placed at 2.8 million, compared
with "a million last year. In the
peak year of 1913, about 975 mil.
lion layers were raised. The num-
Der has declined every year but
two since then.
The cutback this year is sharp
er than in any year since 1852,
when reduction amounted to about
$4,000 birds-a cut of II per cent
from the previous year. The 2.8
