The Cast
BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Critic Of The Star

BY now the American movie
goer may well feel that he, too,
is being ground to moral bits
by Italy's poverty.
Certainly he mas seen enough
Italian films on the subject to
give him a sense of sharing
life's harShness in that ancient,
sunny land.
These are usually we'll made,
convincingly real. Visually. they
take full advantage of the con-
trast between Italy's brightly lit
landscape and that landscapes
aridity. Also they are filled
with Splendidly sculptured hu-
mans, male and female, so visit
fully eXiled from the Edenlike
life for which they were made.
The latest specimen of this
formula film is From A Ro-
man Balcony" at the Apex the
ater. From its first scene to its
last it is dazzlingly photo
graphed, an asset to weigh
against the adultneSs and over
familiarity of its theme.
The hypnotic impact of Di-
rector Mauro Bolognini's cam
era work begins with the films
first sequence. In this stunning
shot of a balconied, low-rent
apartment complex teeming
with fecundity and its symbolic
lines of freshly laundered di-
apers. young man sets forth
in quest of a job.
The final equally arresting
shot brings him home at night
to the teen-age mother of his
illegitimate baby. Less than an
innocent when he left in the
morning. he returns thorough
ly corrupted, the score against
him two degrading experiences
in infidelity, crime committed
as the employe of a vicious syn
dicate, and a ghoulish robbery
of his own inspiration.
This is a too familiar story
not to have left the spectator
somewhat shockproof. Yet it is
well GRATED from a story by
Alberto Moravia, and film ed
with unwavering clevernesS.
Nothing could be more eloquent
than some of the films long
shots, its slow, wistful look at
the web of low-rent apart
ments. And so many others of
those grove lined superhigh-
ways which link sinful Rome
with the sinful beaches to the
e, west.
The acting of From A Ro-
man Balcony" pulses with
Latin feeling, principally that of
Jean Sorel as the boy, Lea Mas
Sari and Jeanne Valerie as the
casual mates of his corruptive
day.

- Steel Magazine said today
steelmaking operations are now
at the highest level in 20
months and it appears the
years output will be close to
98 million tons, about one per
cent less than the 1860 total.
Output this week will be
slightly above the 222 million
ingot tons the Woodworking
weekly estimates the industry
poured last week. In mid-April,
1860, the weekly output was
2.23 million tons.
Mill operators will boost
production still higher in COM
ing weeks to meet growing de-
maids for finished products
although the upswing will be
checked during the yearend
holidays" the magazine said,
adding:
"Automakers, appliance
manufacturers, and other users
are stepping up their consump-
ton and preparing to build in
ventories during the first half
of next year"

counties q form Of gambling which is
definitely stacked against the players,
which lures victims who can Ill afford
to lose their earnings and which by its
very nature encourages racketeers and
criminals to set up shop in Maryland.
Slot-machine gambling is legal at
present in Charles, Calvert, st. Marys
and Anne Arundel Counties. These
counties permit the devices because Of
the tax revenues derived from their
operation. But opponents of the ma
chimes correctly contend that the tax
Dement'S are offset by the disadvantages
Of encouraging honky-tonk joints and
other undesirable types of businesses,
with their hangers-on. Civic and
church groups in the several counties
are seeking county referenda to do away
with the tainted tax system.
However, as the Charles County
Ministerial Association has stressed in
a resolution submitted to the Legisla-
ture, the problem should be attacked
at the State level, through legislation
outlawing slot machines. Although
Governor Tawes has branded the ma
chimes as EVIL" he has suggested a
county approach to their elimination.
This approach, however, overlooks the.
fact that the State receives one-half
Of per cent Of the tax take from this
"evil" and that the State therefore can
not evade a share of the blame for its
existence in the four counties.
We hope majority OF the citizens
OF Charles, Calvert, st. Marys and Anne
Arundel Counties will join in the move
ment to eradicate the tainted tax evil.
Their support would facilitate passage
Of legislation providing for Statewide
referendum on the issue. And we are
confident that the slot machines would
lose in any such showdown.

FROM THE STAR FILES.
100 Years AGO

Not all Of the hotheads
In the tempestuous pre-Civil
War era were Southerners.
The North had a generous
share. notably Wendell Phil
lips. q fiery. untiring orator
and reformer from Massa-
chusettS. He was associated
with William Lloyd Garrison,
leader Of the radical aboli-
tionists. Phillips, an impress
sive figure. with superb ply
sique. was an extremist, an
agitator whose mission in life
seemed to be to stir his
countrymen to wipe out the
evils in their midst. More
temperate and tolerant
Northerners viewed him with
distaste, considering him an
aristocratic rabble rouSer.
Phillips traced his ancestors
back to the Rev. George Phil
lips. who landed at Salem
in 1880. He had wealth and
social standing. After show
ing great promise as a
debater at Harvard, he
started making anti-slavery
speeches as early as 1887. He
condemned the Constitution
because 1t compromised on
the slavery issue. Possessed
of a rich. persuasive voice
and a graceful, self-assur-
ing manner, he spoke be-
fore all kinds of au-
diences. Some were SYM
pathetic; others were hostile.
AS the Union began to
. crumble. his speeches became
more violent. He was almost
mobbed on several occasions.
A typical Phillips grafton was
reported by. The Star of jan
uary %. 1861: "Boston-Wen-
dell Phillips, in his disunion

Why is operation Of the

cause 1t will abolish slavery.
He called upon the North to
tell the South what they
really mean-namely, 'aboli-
tion.' Any compromise made
by Congress would not affect
the Northern heart and con-
science, he said. He argued
that the North would gain by
disunion and used the follow
ing language: Sacrifice
everything for the Union?
God forbid! Sacrifice every
thing to keep South Carolina
in 1t? Rather build a bridge
Of gold and pay her toll over
1t. Let her march off with
banners and trumpetS and
we will speed the parting
guest. Let her not stand upon
the order Of her going, but

and arsenals and sub-treas-
uries and lend her jewels OF
silver and gold and Egypt
will rejoice that she has de-
parted. All hail, diSunion!'
Mr.. Phillips was escorted
home by policemen. with a
crowd pushing after him. 30.
Two days later The Star re-
ported from Boston: 1.-THE
Anti-Slavery Society met in

hall was filled with friends
of the cause. The passages
and doorways were crowded

Nothing serious, however,
occurred, :"
