The
Rambler
Suffers
Once Again
BY JOHN McKELWAY

Notes on the game last
night
Sat for a time in the dug
out, before the game, next
to Gil Hodges, the manager.
There is a quiet strength
about him. 1t may. still be
there, despite the defeat.
1t is the Rambler's fond
est wish that the man will
not have to endure roughly
20 years of the worst kind
OF Illustration. Managers
never last that long, over
that span of time, when
things don't get any better.
They are let loose.
Ballplayers come and go.
But the fan of the Wash
ington Senators has no es-
cape. Dumb and blind, he
continues to search for some
thing. He continues to go to
the game.
There had been a great
double header last Sunday.
They took two. That made
it seven in a row. How could
anyone ignore the eighth
game? They were off on a
streak, headed out of the
cellar. But only 1892 showed
up.
Last Sunday, there was
the recollection of q dou-
BILE header with the Yam
KEGS, back in the 194Os. They
took both games on bloop
hits. Old Griffith Stadium
had been filled and roar
ing, but the same thing
happened as it always did.
The Yankees tucked out. And
the Rambler stood up in the
crowd and threw a lemon at
the second baseman, Joe
Gordon.
And Joe Gordon walked
slowly over and picked up
the lemon and gracefully
tossed it away and the loud
speaker asked that fans not
throw foreign objects on the
field and delay the game.
Frustration produces
strange reactions.

DECIDED NOT To men,
ton the lemon incident to
Mr.. Hodges.
Shortly, as the rain came
down, he went away to a
meeting. He's trying every
thing, the Rambler guessed.
Later, in the locker room,
new and clean, ballplayers
sat reading the sports pages,
their spikes propped up. Big,
friendly guys with big
hands. Met George Susee
George Cyril Methodius
Susce the coach, an old
catcher. The fingers on one
hand are gnarled and twisted
In all directions.
The starting pitcher, Tom
Cheney, got a vitamin shot
and WINGED. Then he got a
rub down. A man worked
what looked like yellow
grease into the valuable right
shoulder.
Up in the stands, the rain
had lifted and the ground
crew had removed the blan-
ket, like so many house
wives, from what is COM
ically called the field Of
play" Then came the UNI
pires and Managers pa
rade as traditional as the
steps in a bullfight or cor
0naJlOn.
AS the game got under
way, fog drifted in over that
vast stadium of soft colors.
Odd how you can miss Grit
fifth Stadium, rickity and
dirty and uncomfortable,
but capable Of really rock
ing behind, say, Dutch Leon
ard and his flutter ball.
Once he pitched just after
a broken ankle. He was
limping. The Yankees
hunted him. They took ad-
vantage of the lame man on
the field of play. What a
great bool But they won.

Tall Buildings
Al White Oak
Draw Protest
IS Citizen Groups
Rup Zoning Plan
At County Hearing

A group Of White Oak area
residents last night found
themselves in the unusual posi-
ton Of attacking a master |
coming plan during their fight |
to block a high-rise apartment |
project in Montgomery County. |
More than 100 citizens
turned out at a County Coun- |
Gil hearing to protest the high
rise rezoning petition for 20
acres near Route 20 and New
Hampshire avenue opposite the |
White Oak Shopping Center.
r. Robert Linowes, attorney
for the petitioners, revealed |
that the proposed project was
designed by Architect Edward
Durell Stone and involves six
lO-story buildings In a STAR
Snapped arrangement with a |
pool and lighted fountain at |
the center.
Master Plan Attacked
Citizens who usually employ
Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission |
master plans as ammunition |
against high-density develop |
ment said last they disagreed
with planners 11th-hour de-
cision last November to des-
ignate the tract for high-rise
use.
The original White Oak and
vicinity masetr plan and a pre-
liminary general plan called for
the property to be developed
In 9,000-Square-foot minimum
residential lots.
Sam Fishman, speaking for
10 citizens groups in the area,
said there has been no change
in the residential character of
the neighborhood in the last
three years to warrant altering
the original White Oak master
plan or granting Mr.. Linowes'
petition.
1889 Record Cited
Mr.. Linowes, however, pro-
duced a transcript from a 1859
hearing on another apartment
rezoning petition for the tract
in which Mr.. Fishman urged
the council to abide by the
Forthcoming master plan for
White Oak. The council denied
that petition as it had six ear
lier requests seeking CONNER
cial coming for the property.
They urged q plan, and now
that We have it, we are merely
trying to abide by it." Mr..
Linowes said.
Another opponent, william
Lutwinlack. said the project on
the wooded Hydena tract would
completely change the neigh
borhood since the 1000 possi-
BILE apartment units would
nearly equal the 1,195 homes
within one square mile Of the
tract.
Robert A. Wallace, attorney
for the opposition, said there
is no need for the project, since
80 acres in the area already
are zoned for apartment use
but lie undeveloped.
Economic Survey Made
Mr.. Linowes reported that an
economic survey financed by his
client showed that the high
rise apartments would only
partially satisfy the predicted
future need for such dwelling
units in that area.
Mr.. Fishman told the coun-
Gil that homes have been built
near other major highway in
terchanges such as the north
west quadrant of Georgia ave-
nue. and the Capital beltway. |
Anthony DeSantis. a spokes-
man for Mr.. Stone, read a let
ter from the architect describ-
ing the apartment project as a |
desirable break in urban sprawl
and urging council indorse-
ment.
The record will be left open
for 10 days. Mr.. Linowes filed
the rezoning petition in the
name Of Bancroft-White Oak
Joint Venture. ]

Notte," is a fascinating reve-
lation of his style.
What he writes, mostly for
himself as director but Incl
dentally for his actors, is a
succession of camera direc-
tons. The d e sign essential
which emergeS from these,
and gives Antonioni films
their distinction, is that both
the camera and the perfor-
mers shall be kept constantly
in motion.
The intention behind this Is
to create a mood in the spec
tator as much as to describe
the variety of moods which
the characters on the screen
are feeling. 1t is not a method
calculated to inspire the easy
cooperation Of the mass Of
moviegoers. Antonioni, howev-
er, belongs to that growing
group of directors resigned to
the truth that they are des-
tined to be controversial by
daring to be different.
He is sheer style, which he
can afford to be by being the
independent man who writes,
directs, and produces his own
movies.

easiest way to deal with them
was to take them to the NOV
les. They are specialists in
irony who gamble that they
will not be identified as anti
inStitutionalists regardless of
the sacred groves into which
they intrude.
In their time, the Boultings
have looked with sardonic,
but goOd-natured, laughter at
such English institutions as
labor, management, the law,
politics, and the foreign serv-
ice. In Heavens Above!",
their subject is religion, tact
fully restricted to its bum

nerable humans who run it
professionally.
An Innocent Sellers
Actor Sellers is the major
and most innocent of this
group. His role is that of a
simple unpublished, intensely
dedicated cleric who is sent
by grievous mistake to a rich,
stylish, and sophisticated par
ish.
A man like Sellers comes as
a shock to a community such
as 0rbiSton Parva, and espe-
cially to its ruling Despards
who have become rich by
making a drug that is said to
be a sedative, Stimulant, and
laxative. They can react only
with horror to his primitive
Christianity which sounds like
Socialism, to his practice Of
social and r a CT a | equality,
and, most horrifying Of all,
his conversion of elderly Lady
Despard to a wild program Of
extravagant charity.
She imperils not merely
the family fortune but the
whole economic structure Of
prosperous 0rbistOn Parva.
The cleverness of the Boult-
ings is in extracting the hilar-
ity of Heavens Above!" from

Years First Hit
By WARD MOREHOUSE

North American Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK.-The impas-
stoned leader of the Protes-
tant Reform alton is the
subject of this seasons first
hit play, John 0sborne's 'Lu-
ther," at the St. James. It is
a stirring examination Of the
man and his tormente d
search for a personal relation
ship with God.
In vivid biographical scenes
we see Martin Luther as Au-
gustinian novice (1506),
priest, celebrated theologian-
preacher-writer, and finally
as the rebel he b econ e S.
From a pulpit we hear him
thunder his conviction that
men are saved by faith
Through the grace of Christ. I"
And we witness his Scornful
attacks on holy relics and the
sale of Papal indulgenceS.
His troubled conscience, his
humility and his stubborneSs
are apparent in his encounter
with Cardinal Cajetan, sent
from Rome to silence Luther.
The play reaches an exciting
climax at the Diet of Worms
where Luther makes his ring
ing refusal to recant.
Luther is played with enor-
nous power by Albert Finney,
the remarkable yoing English
actor who has been called
''The New Laurence Olivier. "
He seems fully to deserve the
compliment. Other fine per-
formances are given by Ken
meth J. Warren, John Moffatt,
Frank Shelley and Peter Bull.
The split in ChriStendom
started by Luther is still visi-
BILE today. Was Luther con-
WINGED he was right? John 0S-
borne says he was not.

Drama Critic Of The Star

A couple of the weeks new
movies offer further teStimo-
ny that it is the writer-direc-
tor who is the SureSt handed
operator in the art of the cine
ma.
This is the type, of course,
who first sets things down in
words and then translates
them into images. A very
handy form of bi-linguality, or
bi-literarcy, that is, and ra-
tionally recommendable to
anyone contemplating making
a career Of producing movies.
The write r-director films
which opened the throttle on
this sO-to-s p e ak train of
thought are both from Eu-
rope. One is 'H e avens
Above!", from England; the
other "L'Eclisse" or 1.-THE
Eclipse" an import from TIA
ly.
Heavens Above!" Is the
work Of the irrespressibly ir-
reverent Boulting twins, John
and Roy, and stars their ia
vorite actor, Peter Sellers.
'L'EciSse" is out of the dark
brooding imagination Of Mi
chelangelo Antonioni.
FlavOrs Different
The flavorS of the two films
are entirely different, the
English one wildly and mock
ingly comic; the other as mel
ancholy and moody as its Ro-
man setting is contraStingly
sunny. For all this and their
OF err differences, however,
they represent an equivalent
degree Of firm control over
their smallest detail. In other
words, they are completely
free from the many-minded-
ness which muddles so many
movies. And so many plays.
Heavens Above!" is a kind
of summitry in the Boultings'
career which was initiated by
