Attorney Thinks
There Is Merit
On Both Sides

A prominent colored attorney
said last night there was merit
to some of the complaints
against Police Chief Robert "
Murray brought by the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People,
but he added that when the
entire factual situation is
brought to light, there will be
merit on both sides in a num-
Der Of these questions"
George B. Parks, a member
and former official of the
NAACP, made the prediction
on WRC-TV's -Four Corners
News" Mr.. Parks Is the WASH
ington Bar Associations rep
resentative on the District
Council on Law Enforcement.
He proposed. however, a diff
ferent approach to the prob
lem from that advanced by
the NAACP. He recommended
that the Commissioners appoint
a committee to reduce friction
between police and the public.
This committee, which he
thought should include repre-
sentatives Of the police, the
Commissioners and civic or
CARNATIONS, could "enlighten
the people Of Washington on
problems that police encounter
in making arrests-and prevent
the public from developing a
fear Of police officers," Mr..
Parks said.

Miss Lille. To some extent, she
brings her own material in the
form of two Seif-written
sketches. These together with q
comedy style that. incredibly.
improves with time. are the daz-
zling jewels in the "Follies"
showcase.
Miss Lille asserts her claim to
being the funniest woman alive
whatever she does, whether it
be trimming and buffing the
claws of a lobster served for her
dinner; turning a pair Of divan
cushions into cymbalS, ear -muffs
or falsies; or playing an airline
stewardess lecturing her pas
sengerS on the perils Of flying.
She is even uproarious once
again in tossing garterS from a
moon identical with the one she
rode above audiences in a pre-
war musical.
Beyond Miss Lille. the fiuctua-
tons in the spirit of the show
are sometimes grave.
It's flavor which runs to comedy
is in able hands when Mr.. De
Wolfe takes stage in song. dance
or skit. He. too. brings style to
his work. even IN such an off,
beat. for him. bit as a rock and
roll ballet. II Don't Wanna
Rock this item is called. and
its hero's very appealing mes
sage is that mothers should leave
their children alone.
Time passes brightly also when
Mr.. DeWolfe insists upon illus
trating frustrated fair for real
ly dramatic acting; and when he,
with Bob and Larry Leslie, sings
of Time magazine and the curse
of being its man of the week.
The new "Follies" is least kind
to its available talent in it's music
which is notably lacking in dis
tinction.
The only times when the show
musically picks up some Of the
traditional luster Of the old Fol
lies" is in the ensembles Bring
on the Girls" and another, "Mu-
sic For Madam" which is danced
with charm by Mr.. Lang and
Miss Wood in nostalgically ex-
travagant setting. Another bal
lad-ballet combination. but in
dire need Of polish. is one called
Two A Day On the Milky Way"
Yet even in the music depart
ment. the "Follies" is best when
it falls back upon Miss Lille,
