WhitneySeen
As q Brusque
Inventor
BY CYNTHIA LOWRY


NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Some
Of us who always have asso-
ciated the name of Eli Whitney
with the cotton gin were ex-
pecting last nights Our Amer
ican Heritage" drama to be full
Of plantation scenes and spir-
itualS. The NBC biographical
drama, however, was briskly
concerned with a man who in
vented mass production and
was a musket maker.
Except for a passing mention
that growers were "wailing
about green seeds plaguing
their cotton" and a glimpse
of a box the size of a small
suitcase there wasn't much
about Whitney's famous gin.
The play was concerned with
his life after he returned home
to New Haven, bitter because
Southern courts had not up
held his patent rights.
Burgess Meredith playe d
Whitney as a brusque. preoccu-
pied man so pasSionately con-
centrated on his inventions he
had little time for anything
else, including a pretty girl
played by Miss Garner, who
proposed to him three times.
There was more plot than
that, however, involving a
scheming War Department
man who wanted to become
his secret partner and his
financial troubles. And when
these were cleared up and the
British set fire to Washington,
Eli capitulated ungraciously to
romance. Mark Stevens, too
handsome and dashing to be
a villain, played the chiSeler.
This type of historical drama
invariably has a principal char
acter who is so involved in i'm
portant world changing events
that-in an hour show-there
isn't time to do much about
developing character and small
human touches.

Montana Records Low
Traffic Death Toll

While Montana was recording
its lowest traffic death toll since
1851 (193 dead), Alex B. Stephen
son, Chief of the Montana High
way Patrol, said that seven of the
fifty-six counties survived with
out a single traffic death. They
were Carter, Meagher, Petroleum,
Powder River, Sheridan, Teton
and Wibaux.
Petroleum County continued its
eviable record of seven consecu-
tive years without a traffic death,
while Carter County reached its
second consecutive year without
a traffic fatality. With fourteen
deaths, Cascade County led the
rest of the State, followed by
Missoula and Yellowstone with
ten each.
Stephenson said that since the
Highway Patrol was organized in
1885, its records show 101,437
reported traffic accidents result
ing in ABB traffic deaths and
41,724 injuries. The largest in
dividual total was Cascade County
with 283, followed closely by
Yellowstone, 1858; Silver Bow,
225; Missoula, 205; and Flathead,
las. Golden Valley and Carter,
with ten deaths each, had the best
record, followed by Wibaux with
fifteen.
