Montgomery County officials,
who insist they already know
the score. recommended this
week against accepting an
$1,000 electric scoreboard Of
fered to a Rockville school.
A staff recommendation
signed by School Supt. C.
Taylor Whittier. dealt with
the matter indirectly: BY pro-
posing a ban on all advertising
on school grounds.
But officials admitted the
ban, on which the school board
is expected to act next week,
was aimed directly at a sit
uation caused by the scoreboard
and other proposals for lad
vertising."
The Scoreboard, which would
have included an electric clock
and an automatic number
changing device, was proposed
to be set up this fall on the
athletic grounds of Richard
Montgomery High School.
Donors Name on Sign
The catch, according to John
Whelan. president of the Rocket
Booster Club which originally
suggested the scoreboard, was
that the sign would have in
cluded the name of the sponsor
ing firm.
1T would have cost the COM
pany a lot of money" Mr..
Whelan observed, land they
naturally wanted something in
return"
He said school authorities
apparently were afraid, how
ever, that the firms name
might be construed as official
Endorsement of the products
and therefore recommended the
advertising ban.
Fans, he said, now must
depend on a hard to read
homemade scoreboard which is
operated by hand.
According to school officials,
advertising already is prohibited
inside school buildings, and

Because of the plans con-

Boys Hurt in
Bus Wreck

Eight children from D. C
Junior Village and the driver o1
the small bus they we're riding
in were injured yesterday when
the bus struck a street sign and
a telephone pole in the 1000
block of Nichols avenue S.W.
The driver. Arthur Carey, "a
of the 1900 block of Sixth
street NV, told police he
"blacked out" as he was re.
turning his passengers, all boys
aged II to II, to Junior Village
from a trip to look at the new
District Stadium.
A 15-year- old boy was
treated at DC. General Hos.
pital for an apparent dislocatec
hip, and a 14-year-old for q
possible dislocated knee. Two
other boys, aged II and 13
were treated at the hospital
for facial and scalp lacerations
Three 13-year-olds with fac
ial and scalp lacerations went
to Hadley Memorial Hospital
An eighth boy, II, was treated
for minor head injuries at the
Junior Village infirmary.
The nine-passenger bus, a
District vehicle, was travelling
south toward Junior Village al
the foot of Nichols avenue
when it jumped the curb and
struck the sign and pole, ac-
cording to police. The bus was
a total loss. There were ap-
parently no witnesses to the
crash.

of Kaufman's friends was
told of his having joined the

In instructing Howard

on "The Solid Gold Cadillac"
in how to tell actors about
cuts, Kaufman said: "Just

on Long Island. On week

be arriving there, he'd come
into the city, and that's when
we'd do our work" He was

When the Pasadena Play

about his collaborators:

said, "the Pennsylvania Rail

it carried to Philadelphia was

BUT THEY'RE LAZY
New Generation Discovers Morxes
BY JAMES BACON

HOLLYWOOD.-The irrev-
erent, implausible, fireplace
able Marx Brothers are in
renaissance.
But that's only on the
Late, Late Show in TV,
where they are being dis
covered by a new generation,
and rediscovered by the old.
Despite this new popularity,
Groucho VOWS the zany
brothers will never reunite
as a team. Chico's recent
heart illness seems to assure
this.
But the basic reason, says
Groucho, 65, is:
MY brothers are even
lazier than I am"
Groucho, after Is years on
radio and TV, is quitting
next season. Harpo, the
silent one, interrupted his
marathon golf game at Palm
Springs to write a best
seller "Harpo Speaks"
Chico, at 10 the eldest,
had his continuous bridge
game at the Friars Club
broken by a stay in Cedars
of Lebanon.
Producers have wheeled in
money to entice the wacky
trio to team up again-but
it's no use.
Harpo and Groucho are
well-fixed. Chico made a
dozen fortunes and spent
two dozen. Says Groucho:
"If Chico made $4,000 a
day, he'd spend $4,000 a
day. It's better he doesn't
make so much, then he won't
wear himself out spending it.

Drama Critic Of The Star

Film reviewers, trapped in
the eye Of the storm over
censorship of movies, find
some odd escape matches in
the hope of saving their san
ity. Or at least their hear
ing.
A pair of the local ones
just a few days ago reached
a firm decision on how they
would classify two specific
films in terms of the age
group for which they are
suitable.
One of the pictures is
''Gidget Goes Hawaiian"
which, they agreed, should
be classified as prenatal. The
other, a bit earlier in its
booking, is Return to Peyton
Place" The age group for
which this was deemed suit
able is one described as post
humous.
Position Clarified
AS is the practice among
statesmen, each party to the
dialogue (as we now say)
went on to issue clarifying
statements, these pointing out
firmly that the decisions re-
lated to specific pictures and
in nowise represented a COM
mitment to the principle of
classification. Critics, as
a class, are opposed to CEN
sorship largely on the theory
that the expertise needed to
fulfill the censor function is

Something else is neces-

Ready for Anything
I have to use an old-fash-
ioned word. That word is
character. I don't mean good
character or bad character.
I'm using the word in the
old-fashioned way. I mean
simply that the director is
there. He is there at all
times. He is there and he
stands up. He has to be
there and he has to stand
up.
He has to be ready to take
on all problems. He has to
be ready to accept the blame
for everything and anything
that goes wrong. It is all his
fault. In a crisis or an "un-
pleasantneSs" he has to stay
there in the middle, avoiding
nothing, the last to go home.
When things get impos-
Sible, it is his tenacity that
again makes them possible.
He has to tell the truth
when no one else will. He
has to "do something about
it" when everyone else has
stopped trying.
He has to be there. He's
the one person who can't
walk" (And sometimes it's
such a temptation to walk"
Go home. Drop it and let
someone else pick it up.
He Sees It Through
But when once a man ac-
ceptS the responsibility of
being the director, he's there
till it's over. No exit en-
route. The director sees it
through. That's who he is.
I am romantic about all
this. I admire my fellow di-
rectors-the good ones-be-
cause of their characters.
The really good ones-that's
what you first notice about
them. The house falls down
around them and they're
standing there, looking
rather quixotic. the mortar
dust on their shoulders.

word. He once said: "Cour-
age is the greatest virtue be-
cause it makes all the others
possible" That says it too.

Saving a Marriage

The hilariously funny Sc
quence of the seven in Love
and the Frenchwoman" is
one involving a couple near
ing middle age who long for
a return to their radiant
courtship emotions. They will
achieve it honorably, they
decide, by getting a divorce,
only to discover that hon.
orable divorce is impossible
under French law.
To be separated legally,
husbands and wives must
loathe each other and, in
attempting to qualify for di-
vorce, the couple in question
completely forget the original
intention behind their legal
maneuver.
The best of Frances film
makers, writer's, directors
and performers have partic-
ipated in making Love and
the Frenchwoman" and in
every sequence they have
done credit to both.
Yet both this film and "a
French Mistress" so intelli-
gently made, could miss the
audiences best qualified to
appreciate them.
