Her, She's Mine" presents
Stewart as a father so over
solicitous in his protection Of
his adolescent daughters vir-
tue that he makes himself
suspect Of something worse
than mere paternal idiocy.
This is carrying even farce
too far, an effect not too east
ly achieved in these days Of
anything for a laugh.
The Joblike paid follower Of
what's going on that's sup
posed to be entertaining finds
this Over-evident in almost ev-

every joke to which it buys

Another sample, not quite

comedian of Jack Lemmon's
caliber is unable to retrieve
this little funny about a bach

lord VINO rents only to at
tractive single girls on whom
he lavishes personal attention
beyond the call of duty.
In the banal exaggerations Of
the screen treatment, the tru-
ly hilarious character in the
farce is a fairly minor one, a
righteous maid who is played
by Imogene Coca. This flag
rantly is not the intention Of
the makers of ''Under the

are stuck with it.

in point is 'Seidman and

miraculously to mention all
the sources of tension and
hostility in the family circle.
Friction CavaIcade
These include the wife who
lets herself become dowdy,
the idealistic 19-year-old son
who fights all liberal causes
with a father who is no less
liberal, the temptation to phi

These are the sources Of
amusing family frictionS, ira
ditionally the more amusing
since the family happens to
be Jewish, but they are kept
in proportion. AS head of the
house Of Seidman, Actor Le-
vene, one of the real styliSts Of
comedy, comes off as a nor
mally harasSed human who
accepts the risks of family
life with an open, reasonably
wise mind and a tongue that
can be either corrosive or ten
der as the situation demands.
He is much less explosive,
for instance, than the Jewish
father in Come Blow Your
Horn" yet somehow manages
to be even more amusing as
a man in the middle of the
contemporary family predica-

One can only wonder what
will happen to the character

Guide said he had been In
touch with state leaders of the
League of Women voters which
twice has petitioned General

been assured his proposal was
acceptable to them.
"The important thing to re-

Sen. GUIDE says, tbs that under
this proposal everyone gets as
near equal representation in
Congress as is possible"
He also, of course, belives
that 'it's not necessarily sac

pecially Democratic and Repub-

Pointing to the scheduled
statewide referendum on the
General Assembly's proposed
redistricting in November, the
suit argues ''to subject to ref
erendum law which is uncon-
stitutional and null and void on
the day 1t becomes effective is
to waste the taxpayers funds"
It urges that the court ruling
be handed down in time for the
General Assembly to act on a
new proposal during its 30-day
session in February.
The suit adds gloomily, how
ever:
"Plaintiffs, and other citi-
zens Of Maryland similarly Sit
uated have appealed to the gov
ernor, the General Assembly

lative Council of the General

slightest promise of favorable

hand, since Maryland was ac-
corded an eighth seat In the

General Assembly has enacted
two separate redistricting acts,
both of which have been petit
toned to a referendum of the
voters, and both Of which would
have provided, or wouldpro-
vide, unfair, unequitable and

1871 Raised In Drive
For Elderly Indigents

Sentinel readers by the score
contributed generously the pre-
Christmas campaign to raise
money for elderly public well
fare charges that have been
placed In nur sing homes
throughout the county.
The recipients are old and
most have no friends or rela-
tiveS. And Christmas with no
presents, no one to care, can
be pretty bleak.
In the three-week campaign,
readers Of The Sentinel sent
checks totaling $676 to provide
generous fund to buy presents,
most Of them having to do with
creature comforts, for the old
folks.
There are 100 of the elderly
indigents scattered throughout tn
county. That's a little over Sc
per person for Christmas,
probably the only Christmas
presents they received.
In addition, the Junior Wom-
ans Club of Rockville, which
generously purchased the gifts,
wrapped them, and delivered
them in time for Christmas,
dug into its own funds and came
up with another sos as part
Of the campaign to buy a needed
wheel chair for one Of the nurs-
ing homes where more than 4C
elderly indigents are housed,

Suit Seeks To Upset
States Redistricting

It Is futile to expect that the
Maryland General Assembly
viii enact ''fair and equitable"
legislation setting up a new
eighth Congressional district, a
suit filed In Baltimore Federal
declares.
The legal action naming state
election officials, Gov. J. MIL
lard Tawes and Secretary OF
State Lloyd Simpkins as defen-
dants, was brought by the Mary
land Citizens Committee For
Fair Congressional Redistrict-
ing (MCFCR). Roland l.
Perusse, Bethesda, is president
Of the group.
In the suit, MCFCR argues
that voters in the Second, Fifth
and Sixth Congressional dis
tricts "are subjected to gross
ly invidiouS discrimination in
their rights of representation
and that the members Of the
House of Representatives rep.
resenting the people Of the State
of Maryland in the Congress
are not, In truth, elected by the
people of the State of Mary
land"
The suit asks the court to
declare present redistricting
unconstitutional on the basis Of
the disproportionate popu-
lations. The first eastern
Shore) district had only 243, SIC
persons in 1860 while the states
most populous district, the fifth
prince Georges County and
Southern Maryland had $685.
666.
Under proposed redistrict-
ing bill passed by the General
Assembly, according to the suit,
the district populations range
from 243, $40 I'm the firs) tc
608, 666 Tin the SIXTH which
leaves the disparities still toe
great.
And before the end of the
decade, the suit continues. the
