The last thing anyone around
here wants to do is say some
thing churlish that might dilute
our utterly cordial relations
with Moscow. The blunt truth
is, however, that sitting through
THE Idiot" latest of the cul-
tural exchange films to turn
up here, is a less than wildly
exciting experience.
1t was launched with a gala
premiere last night at the Apex
Theater and starts its regular
run there today, virtually GER
tain not to increase the stature
OF the Russian cinema during
its stay. It's not merely the
missiles we have to think about:
these Russians could talk us to
death.
Ivan Pyriev, who wrote and
directed The Idiot" OTIS the
first half of a projected two
part fllm). has turned the
Dostoyevsky novel into some
thing of demonstration that
avarice is the root of all evil.
1t is not too sound a demon
stration, probably because the
narrative keeps getting more
and more preposterouS as it
unfolds.
The entire action is COM
pressed into one day in the
life of DoStoyevsky's epileptic
Prince Mychkine and that little
man has a busy day. Mychkine,
as set forth in the Communist
f1lm version. remains the soft
spoken, sweet dispositioned,
Christ-like figure who can turn
another cheek quicker than a
drunken Cossack can shout
nyet.
In Mr.. Pyriev's movie we first
encounter him aboard a primi-
tive train bound for st. Peters,
burg, to which he is returning
from a futile search for a cure
in Switzerland. He leaves us
that night, rushing out into
the SWirling snow in pursuit
of a stylish doxie named
NaStassia who has just Spurned
his offer of marriage to run
of with a wealthy boor of
their acquaintance.
Between arrival and depart
ure, the prince is subjected to
enough melodrama to keep a
TV soap opera going for five
39-week seasons. Insult and
injury are heaped on him,
family quarrels explode over
his head and NastaSSia finally
creates a turbulent topper for
1t all by throwing 10000 rubles
INTO the f1re to prove what a
man will do to get 10000 rubles.
Mr.. Pyriev has captured a
great deal of the feel and mood
OF the Russia of a century ago;
or at least it seems authentic
to one who was never in st.
Petersburg during 1860. The
English clubbing is surprisingly
good, too. with voices that
match the characters if they
don't always match the char
acterS' lip movements. The
color photography is erratice,
both good and bad, but when
it Is good, it is very, very good.
The acting from Yuri Yakovlev
and Yulia BoriSova to the most
ragged extra, is the over
theatric sort you see on the
late, late show. Good night
sweet prince.

plans a talk in Hartford, Conn,
tonight in the windup of a

During the tour, a finger on
his right hand was bruised by

handshaking. 1T is much bet

For Farmers
By Johnson

. GARDEN CITY, Kans., Sept.
"a (AP).-"Republicans simply
do not know how to sit down
with the farmers themselves
and thrash out the problems
that are threatening agricul-
ture," Senator johnson of Texas
said last night.
He told a crowd Of 1900 in
this Western Kansas farming
center that is "the real reason
for the failure of the Republic
can Party in agriculture"
But we promise to work with
you," the Democratic Vice
Presidential candidate added,
because we are for you"
Senator johnson cautioned
that the Democratic Party does
not promise to solve farm
problems overnight.
after eight years Of Repub-
lican mismanagement." he said,
helping farmers out of their
present predicament is going
to be a monumental job"
Senator johnson said farm
purchasing power is down
about a third, farm debt is at
a record high, the parity level
has fallen 81 per cent, and,
as a result, 3 million farmers
have left the farm in the past
eight years.
A Democratic administration,
he said, will work with the
farmer to provide a decent re-
turn for agricultural products
in our domestic markets, open
the opportunity to seek new
agricultural markets abroad on
a competitive basis, establish a
reasonable system Of managing
supplies to avoid the build-up
of additional surpluses and
bring about wider distribution
and consumption of farm prod
ucts among the needy at home
and throughout the world"

FuIbright Rops Morton
For Kennedy Attack

THE law of the tooth and
the fang will apparently apply,
Senator Fulbright said.
Senator Fulbright, chairman
Of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, said the entire
world is watching the conduct
of the presidential campaign
between Senator Kennedy and
Vice President Nixon.
If such an election "is to be
based upon or Influenced by an
atrocious personal smear cam
paign, then there is little hope
that others will be favorably
impressed by democracy or, in
fact, that democracy can long
survive" Senator Fulbright
said.
He continued:
1T may be that Mr.. Nixon,
having achieved his initial and
greatest political success dur
ing the dark era of Mccarthy
ism. is not aware of the fact
that such methods are deeply
offensive to most people"

Mr.. Nixon stops his auto cara
van to greet people, and per-
haps speak briefly, along the
way.
Children have made up a
large part of his crowds in
many of the smaller towns he
has visited. He has made
many stops where school chill
dren were clustered along the
road to see him. Two were
made yesterday in an l8-mile
drive between Rockford, ILL.,,
and Beloit, Wis.
Mr.. Nixon, as a veteran
campaigner, plays the local
angle wherever possible. When
he was scoring Senator Ken
nedy for suggesting American
prestige has slipped, the Vice
President cited the 70-to-C
lineup by which the United
Nations sustained this country's
position. That, the nominee
said, was a good score in a
football game and it was good
in the U. n.
BY the time ne reached
Springfield, Mo. he had i'm
proved on it. He rang in Mis-
Souri's 20 to % defeat OF
Southern Methodist a week
ago. When he was in Kansas
City last night, he remembered
Kansas 21-to-7 victory over
its lasv foe.

Senator Fulbright, democrat
of Arkansas, has accused Sen
tor Morton of Kentucky, the
Republican national chairman,
of an outrageous attack up on
the patriotism and loyalty Of
Senator Kennedy and other
Democrats"
Senator Morton in a Colo
radio speech Thursday said
Senator Kennedy, and other
Democrats were guilty of "giv-
ing aid and comfort to the
Communist en- emies Of the
United States"
These words are the stand
ard terms for treason" Senator
Fulbright said in a statement.
He added that if Senator
Morton had made the state
ment on the Senate floor, he
would be ordered to take his
seat for violating Senate rules,
but on the stump apparently
there are to be no rules for the

For Governors

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Sept.
"a (AP).-National politics will
be relegated to a minor role
in the 1860 Southern Governors
Conference, Chairman ]. Lind
say Almond predicted yester-
day.
| The Virginia Governor was
among the early arrivals for
the conference. which starts
with a reception tomorrow.
Business sessions are scheduled
Monday through Wednesday.
Il don't think national poll
tics will come up as a regular
order of business, but it'll prob
ably be talked a lot in private
discussions" Gov. Almond said.
He is a Democrat.
Gov. Almond expressed dis
satisfaction with the Demo-
cratic platform but said he was
firmly behind the Kennedy
johnson ticket.
However, he said Senator
Kennedy, the presidential NOM
inee may have trouble in Vir-
ginia because the religious is
sue "is a focal point of dis
cussion" there.
It'll be close in Virginia, but
the Democrats are making
steady gains" he said.
Some Virginians think the
Republican platform is more
conservative, Gov. Almond said,
But "the only difference be-
tween the two platforms is like
that between tweedle-du and
tweedle-dee."
The South's progress in in
dustrialization, conservation of
natural resources, highway
safety and interstate compacts
will be the principal topics for
formal discussion, Gov. Almond
said.
Other early arrivals includede
the host, Gov. Faubus of Ar
kansas, Gov. Ellington of Ten
nessee, and Farris Bryant,
Democratic nominee for gov
ernor of Florida. Gov. Faubus
and Ellington are Democrats.

of spiritual values and moral
strength-the Communists can
never overcome us, unless we
fall back to their level"
The Senator made no direct
reference in his speech to the
religious criticism he has en-
countered himself, but he noted
that the late Senaor Smoot of
Utah, a Mormon apostle whose
right to sit in the Senate was
challenged by critics of his
faith, had shown that "a
public servant devout in his
chosen faith was still capable
iof undiminished allegiance to
our Constitution and national
interest"
Later, in the question period.
he was given a chance to re-
assert his own devotion to the
separation of church and state
when he was asked how he
would deal with conflicts be
/ tween the Constitution and
Rome"
Il support the Constitution"
he said to loud applause. II
regard the separation of church
and state as the most admi-
rable organization of society
that we could provide"
Halls Reuther Support
| Another questioner gave
Senator Kennedy his opening
to call for the custer of Mr..
Hoffa by asking about his at
titude toward labor leaders.
Senator Kennedy pointed out
that while he had the support
of United Auto Workers Presi-'
dent Walter Reuther and other
honest union leaders," Mr..
Hoffa was working to defeat
him.
Then he added: IT believe
any effective attorney general
with the laws we presently
have on the books can remove
Mr.. Hoffa from office. And I
feel the same way about Mr..
Bridges Harry Bridges, presi-
dent of the International Long
shoremans and Warehouse
mems Union.
. AS Senator Kennedy wound
up his tour of the Mountain
States, a Democrat from that
region gave The Star his ap-
praisal of the political situation
in the area where he has been
travelling for the last three
weeks.
17-tO-7 Vote Seen
The rundown, which should
be viewed as an effort at OBJ
jectivity from a partisan
source, credited Senator Ken
nedy with clear leads in Ne
vada and Montana and Mr..
Nixon with a marked ad-
vantage in Utah.
New Mexico, Colorado and
Wyoming were put down as
battle-ground States, with the
Democrat holding a slight edge
in the first two and the Re
publican marginally ahead in
the last.
If the actual voting con-
f1rmed this appraisal, Senator
Kennedy would garner II elec-
toral votes and Mr.. Nixon seven.
This Democratic source said
he was struck by the high pro-
portion of voters who said they
were undecided on their choice.
He estimated it might be as
high as 80 per cent of the
electorate.
In part, he said, this un-
certainty reflects the cross
currents of the religious issue.
Like Democrats in Southern
and Southwestern States, he
reported evidence that the pub
licity given to attacks on Sem
ator Kennedy's Catholic faith
had begun to produce a
sympathy vote" for the Demo-
cratic nominee.
If thE trend continued, he
said, it might swing even States
like Utah into the Democratic
column.
There is also a widespread
uneasiness, he said, about the
spread of Communist influence
in the world-and particularly
in Cuba-and some nervous
ness over the state of the do
mestic economy.
