Photographically, the Susskind
film wisely avoids that broody
darkness characteristic of its
type. 1t explores its dramatic
human relationship with candor
in a revealing sunlight.
In this process. it achieves
many moments of high and hon.
est drama. Some of these are in
the freight ward where the fatal
fight is building up. More subtle
and less familiar are the scenes
IN which the introverted Casa
veteS character is invited to meet
Poltier'S wife, to encounter an
attractive young white teacher
friend of the Poitiers. and TO
learn something of family life
that comes to him as a revelation.
There is sensitivity and un-

difference in background and its
effects in these scenes. They have
much to say of the tentativeness,
awkwardneSs and reserve of the
approach of even well intentioned
to this kind of friendship.

Dear Lyndon:
II have read carefully
everything you wrote and can see
how you justify your position On
basis that you will at least get
something, and I am not finding
fault with You. however I just do
not think you are thinking the
thing through to the actual local
situations where any civil rights
law would have to prove itself.
Lets take given situation;
suppose here in Montgomery a
judge should order the registrars
to stop their currently diliatory
tactics and proceed to registar Ne
groes with reasonable dispatch and
a proper consideration for their
convenience, as they now do in the
case of any white person who ap-
plies. And suppose the judge
finding at a later date that the
registrars had not obeyed his order
but we're continuing their delaying
and obstructing tactics and proceed
to find them in contempt, now
what | would like to ask is, would
such registrars be able under your
amendment to demand and be en-
titled to have a jury trial? II they
would, then you can pass civil
rights bills until you are blue in
the face and you will not help
Negroes in Montgomery, Alabama

Lyndon, my dear fellow, let's
don't kid ourselves, this jury
trial idea is sprung as defeating
move. No Southern State has ever
had such, it is only now as our
good friends from these deep
South states see this thing coming
down on them that they spring
this. It was clever stratagem but
it should be seen for what it is and
disowned and fought for that rea-
son.
