~ @aAA OAA-N~NAO
On q hot early July day in
Berlin last summer, the fllm
festival jury Of which this
correspondent was president.
voted "l2 Angry Men" the
best OF 50 films from %
countries.
The vote was . TO 2.
As one OF the nine, this
Juror wondered then how the
Henry Fonda film would
stand up back home among
the pictures to be seen in the
succeeding months OF 1857.
Today. December 20. 1t sur
wives as his CHOICE as the best
picture Of the year.
A message" picture. one
Of . category that has been
dominant not only in Holly
woods output but that OF
other major producing coun-
tries, the winner has had
competition from many
other types. AS the list
above implies, the fair for
making these latter, and
making them excellently. has
not disappeared IN the
screens talent for writing
editorials.
Stlll stood Out
For all the seriousness OF
q cold war, spiraling living
costs. and the sudden skepti-
cism about progressive edu-
cation. movie makers have
found time for comedy. mu-
steals. westerns. fantasy. his
toric spectacular. etc. These
make q l0-best list. not arbi-
trarily TO show a broad taste
on the part Of the selector
but because they merit selec-
ton.
Yet. among the years re-
leases az Angry Men" stood
out. Lean. lucid. remorselessly
precise in story line. the Aim
took its audience into a New
York jury room. There 1t
showed q man Of conscience.
one among IL. refusing to
add his vote 10 the IL others
in favor Of railroading q de-
linquent boy for killing his
father.
The lads life. this Juror
No. 3 insisted, was not the
jury's to throw away until
the last shred Of evidence
was weighed.
The Berlin festival jurors,
representing 10 nationalities,
were impressed by Fonda's
Juror No. Q. In his insistence
upon justice for the least Of
rpen--in this case an immi-
grant boy--he represented to
them the best Of democracy
and the democratic ideal.
II this just man deserved
his vote in Berlin last sum-
mer. he is every bit as deserv-
ing on the last Sunday Of the
year so far as this correspond
ent Is concerned.
Man Of Conscience
So. as the list above runs,
Is his counterpart played by
Richard Widmark in the sec
ond choice picture, Time
Limit" This was another
man Of conscience holding
the key to the fate Of another
accused. in this instance an
army ofiicer who succumbed
to brain-washing in Korea.
Time Limit" took that SEN
sational headline word and
shook 1t until more than an
emotional meaning fell out
Of It.
Again. through q mans re-
morseless demand for all the
evidence, the face Of justice
showed itself against almost
hopeless odds.
Surprisingly enough, the
third picture on the list. "The
Spirit Of st. Louis" was not
q major boxofiice attraction.

New City Council Calls For
State Audit Of Towns Books

At the request Of the town
council, Lou Miller Of the State
Examiners office arrived in
Browning Monday where he is
auditing the towns books.
From all indications the finan.
cial status of Browning is in bad
shape. The town appears not
only only to be broke, but has
gone beyond its legal bonded in.
debtedness and on various oc.
casions has improperly trans
fered funds from one department
to another.
The water department.. in par
ticular. has been source Of
much criticism. from the start
uf the construction Of the new
water supply system 10 the gen.
eral handling Of the operation
and laxity in collections.
Under the new council the pO-
lice department has been re.
organized with Bill McMullen re.
placing Dewey Brey as Chief
and new regulations have been
adopted.
1t would also appear that the
prospect of building a new city
hall. as had been planned. Is all
but impossible until the bonded
indebtedness Is paid off. or at
least substantially reduced.
II was brought out at the last
Council meeting that had con.
struction and financial arrange.
ments for the new city hall been
made prior to the bonding agree
ment for the water system. the
town could have had both a city
hall and a new water system;
but, as the deal was handled. in
q reverse manner. with the water
system ahead of the city hall,
the city hall must now wait.
Council members and the new
city attorney. Huppy. say they
are at loss to do anything other
than to call for the audit as the
old books show too many dis.
crcpancies and too many details
in the records are lacking.

the million dollar-plus hole north
OF Babb which has been carefully
watched by Montana oilmcn
since last October when drilling
started, was plugged last Thurs
day after reaching a depth of
l2,727 feet.
However. although the we'll
went deep and cost fortune,
plugging of the we'll does not
necessarily mean that an cxten.
