Day in life of U. S. 9
on network tonight
By RICK DU BROW
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) -“A
Day in the Life of the United
States” is the title of a lengthy
CBS-TV special which tonight
tries to portray for history a
little of what America was like
on the 1969 day when man
landed on the moon.
“Civilization: A Preview” is
the title of an NBC-TV special
which tonight offers an advance
look at an acclaimed 13-week
series that deals with great
Georgia News
Worms ruin pastures
ATLANTA (UPI) — Agriculture Commissioner Tommy
Irvin said Monday that army worms had wiped out
pasture land on some farms in Stephens, Banks and
Franklin counties and that federal aid was being sought in
dealing with the pests.
The worms developed following drought conditions in
the north Georgia areas.
Irvin said Gov. Lester Maddox had wired Secretary of
Agriculture Clifford Hardin to request an immediate
survey of conditions and for action to divert soil bank
acreage for grazing and hay crops along with low cost
loans for hard-hit farmers.
Taxi driver shot
ATLANTA (UPI)-A
ATLANTA (UPI)—A Marietta taxi driver was found
shot to death today in downtown Atlanta.
Police said Bobby Jack McManus, 25, had been shot
four times in the back of the head as he sat in his cab.
Officers, who found $73 on the body, ruled out robbery as a
motive.
McManus reportedly picked up several persons at the
Marietta bus station Monday night His body was found at
about 1 a.m.
Williams blasts GOP
ATLANTA (UPl)—Hosea Williams says his withdrawal
from the race for secretary of state will cost Georgia
Republicans a chance to win 425,000 black votes.
Williams, a vice president of the Southern Christian
Leader-ship Conference, announed Monday he was
dropping out as a GOP candidate, blasting “unfair
reporting” and the Republican Party.
The fiery civil rights leader noted he was the only black
candidate on the GOP ballot and said, “It will cost
Republicans a chance at 425,000 black votes in the general
election.”
Williams, whose wife, Juanita Terry Williams, is a
Democratic candidate for comptroller general, said also
the loss of a suit to have Robert Carney removed from the
ballot as a candidate for secretary of state was a factor in
his decision.
Williams had charged Carney, a white man, qualified
after the deadline.
Williams said the main reason for his withdrawal was to
achieve “unity in the black community,” urging all
Negroes to support candidates sponsored by the Black
Coalition.
Despite Williams’ withdrawal, his name will still be on
the Republican ballot along with Carney, the only other
candidate for secretary of state.
Man held in death
MACON, Ga. (UPl)—William Hugh Avera, 23, of
Macon, has been charged with murder in the shooting of a
guard at the strikebound Armstrong Cork Co. plant.
Avera, described as a member of the striking Cement,
Lime and Gypsum workers union, was arrested three
hours after Donald Bruce Stickney, 24, was slain by a rifle
bullet in the chest
Stickney, an employe of a private detective agency
hired to guard the plant had gone to investigate
movement in some bushes near a gate when he was shot
Police traced the gunman’s path with bloodhounds to a
parking lot where the rifle was found. Later Avera was
taken into custody.

“A Day in the Life of the

45 minutes long. “Civilization:
A Preview” runs an hour.
Together they occupy almost
all of tonight’s network prime
time. Wonder of wonders, they

evening one of the most notable
of the new season for television
watchers.
Perry Wolff, the producer
and writer of “A Day in the
Life of the United States”-
which was filmed entirely on
the moon-landing day, July 20,
1969—describes the program as
follows:
“A modest effort to make a
film equivalent to John Dos
Passos” ‘The 42nd Parallel’—a
cross-section of life in the
United States ... America
captured, frozen in a day of
time. The landing on the moon
is almost incidental to the
story. It’s oily a day of
reference.”
It’s a good description, and a
good peg. Seen in advance by
this reviewer under CBS-TV’s
policy of allowing criticism of
its shows before they are
broadcast, the program ram
bles around the country,
seeking out simple humanity,
with a sense of leisure that will
be welcomed by viewers who
grow impatient with the rat-tat
tat style of the usual, shorter,
time-pressed shows. Charles
Kuralt, CBS-TV’s specialist on
the human side of life, is the
adept host and narrator.
Aside from a poetically
oversimplified attack that
seems to unfairly single out and
put down Chicago for social
problems that can be found in
any major American city, there
is a homogeneous tone and
texture to the 105-minute
broadcast, and it holds together
well.
It is, in effect, a time capsule
for 100 years from now, a letter
to history with an all
encompassing scope.
We see the search for new
directions, and hear the sounds
and accents of Americans from
all over, and glimpse their
work and cares and the sights
around them, and feel the
program’s occasional anger and
humor and sheer visual beauty
and, above all, its affection.
And that’s all right, you know.
But what, I wonder, will
posterity think about history
being sponsored by Geritol and
Dash?
