MIDTOWN NEW YORK

By ROBERT SYLVESTER

NEW YORK-The most har-
rowing story about anybody who
has come up against q demand
from the United States Internal
Revenue Departm ent is very
likely the story of a fellow named
Jack Kelly. Jack is a pianist and
composer and music teacher who
works on morning TV and what
not. Jack is also a fellow who Is
pretty well crippled and wears
heavy braces on his legs.
So just the other day Jack got
a letter from Uncle saying that
his claim Of $40 q day for taxi
cab fares was nonsensical and
would be please report at the
Bureau and have an interview
with q Mr.. Goldwatter. Jack
did. But before he did he got a
lot Of advice from his lawyer
his accountant and from other
sufferers who had been through
the same ordeal.
Therefore, Jack arrived at Mr..
0oldwatter's ONCE and sort of
pulled himself in. He almost fell
down at Mr.. 0's desk. He ex-
planned carefully and in detail
that his legs were in braces, that
he could not walk distances. that
he must hustle about town to
make a living. : And. Of course.
that he must take taxicabs
wherever he goes.
After ALL" he told Mr.. Gold
water. you can't expect me to
walk from my home in the West
SOS to my Broadway appoint
ments. You can't expect me to
climb up and down subway
stairs, can you?"
1t was at this point that Mr..
Goldwatter put both Of his hands
fiat on his desk. He pushed hard
and got himself erect. From
somewhere he found a crutch
and got it under his right arm.
From somewhere else he found

tercontinental missile. There is
a bit Of French and a dash Of
Italian in its mood. but the over
all flavor is definitely and
uniquely Spanish. It spoofs us
rich North Americans with a fine
comic look at ourselves as others
see US. It also spoofs the poor
people Of Spain. 1t does both
with charm as well as wit.
It Is the thesis Of Director Luis
Berlanga and whoever wrote the
screenplay for welcome. Senior
MARSHALL that the impact of
American aid on a sleepy Castil-
liam village might be more comic
than anything else. This it GER

gets into motion slowly, but once
moving it is a zany delight. Its
hero is the ages-old village Of
Villar del Rio, electrified one day
by the arrival of an important
government Official. His unex.
pected appearance throws the
populace into panic because the
harvest has been good and now
it has to be hidden lest heavy
taxes be imposed.
He is not interested in the
harvest this time. however. To.
day he bears word that a Mar
shall Plan commission is on the
way and Villar del Rio must pre-
pare to welcome it properly.

the other day she saw q cat

bought the cat. Then she de-

he'd have q better score.

This plan is not put into effect

The jurors carried with them
a dramatic defense plea for ac-
quittal Of Beck and a demand
by the States attorneys for
conviction on evidence so
overwhelming it's ridiculous

The final arguments turned
even to hearings before a

The Northern Virginia League
basketball season got under way
last night with eight of the 10
member teams in action and,
of the results. there seems lit
tie likelihood Of a runaway
such as last season.
George Washington went I'M
beaten IN a l4-game league
schedule last year. The only
serious competition was pro-
vided by Wakefield. which fin
ished 1872. Both losses were
to CIV.
Wakefield. with only two reg
ulars from that team lost by
graduation. has been picked by
most followers as the team to
beat this season. The Warriors
opened their season last Tues
day with a 52-40 victory over
Bethesda Chevy Chase in
montague game. and followed
II up with a 60-4o decision over
Fairfax last night at home in
their league debut.
But. Wakefield, although hav-
ing little trouble with the Reo-
els. revealed weaknesses that
will keep 1t from being an over
powering club such as CIV was
last year. Coach Robbie Rob-
1nSon. however. looks for con-
siderable improvement after
the Christmas holidays.
We have Highland Springs
Tuesday and then another
league game when we play
Hammond Friday" Robinson
explained. Then we're of
until January 10 when we play
WI.
But during the Christmas
holidays We hope to get in sew
eral scrlmmages with top clubs
IN the area. This is far from
a polished team.
Last night We didn't make as
good a showing as in our opener
against B-CC."
Wakefield went into a 1871
first quarter lead and left no
doubt as to the final outcome
when 1t went out at halftime
with a 3l-l8 advantage.
The spread was 1929 at the
end of'the third quarter and
Robinson made liberal use OF
his reserves. Fairfax. mean
while. couldn't come up with
any combination to check the
Warriors big three. Dave Lock-
man. Ronnie Terwilliger and
Gar Schweikhardt.
Lockman finished with %
points. Terwilliger Is and
Schweikhardt 10. The latter
also was the outstanding re-
bounder.
