Tuesday, Sept. 8,1970 8 TV in review 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. achievements of Western cul ture and begins soon on the non-commercial television net work. “A Day in the Life of the United States” is one hour and 45 minutes long. “Civilization: A Preview” runs an hour. Together they occupy almost all of tonight’s network prime time. Wonder of wonders, they do not overlap or conflict in any way for viewers who want to catch both. And, as a double entry, they may well make this JK. SB ' a a * W W ■L ‘ .jt 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? < / : -;$&5 %&*- z ';, ' <x^^ z wfe > jI-l B SbSBBmKmEL fs MERIIII IBh EbSKi t ' > WW ': <>- WBB Mfct '-W—- -■ ;JBw \ ■ ..- ■ '■; ■ -fS" : ’ r .■< •'■ . 1 :-■-;•■ ■ > •■; A* Maw a: « :UMBr# ;;; . f gBSIIMr / v I ImHIFT / - ill --ga<Fl if BM - mHHI K fTßUrti ■r ’ i 0 • f ' . mU. ■ ,- tMMM | Ik V sS< ~ Mi ;■• f * 1 ~. /'^sfSi,.. ; si■ i B I i.
