Lost In the storm of civil
rights debate and civil disobe
dience was the question of what
qualifications, if any, a voter
should possess in an open soci-
ety to prevent dilution of the
electorate by great numbers of
the absolutely ignorant.
President Johnson and sub-
stantial majorities in his Great
Society Congress finally gave
an abrupt but calculated an-
swer to that question. The 1965
voting rights bill denied that

• A feature for the
Young at heart!
BY JOHN LARSON
Screenwriter A b b y Mann
(“Ship of Fools” "A Child Is
Waiting” “Judgment at Nurem-
berg" “The Condemned of Al-
tona”) is much concerned over
where tomorrows writers will
come from.
“I think workshops should be
established for young writers
whether they want to write for |
television, theatre or motion pic-
tures. Writers need a place to
start and there aren’t enough [
outlets today," Abby told us.
“When I broke into television!
there were lots of opportunities
to do original work because
television was doing more or-
iginal plays. We had ‘Goodyear
Theatre’, ‘Studio One', ‘Robert |
Montgomery Presents’ and
'Playhouse 90’,” he said. “That I
kind of opportunity just doesn’t J
exist any more.”
Abby doesn't think that the I
really serious writers are get-
ting the kind of encouragement |
they need to grow. “I think it is
a great waste,” he said, “be-1
cause young people today are |
more aware than they have ev-
er been before. They’re aware
of the world and what goes on
in it. They have things to say
that should be said and some-
how we must give them the
opportunity to write material
that reflects their views and
their rebellion.”
Rebellion is not new to Abby
Mann. When he learned that
Hollywood was going to use act-
ors to play parts in “A Child
is Waiting” he returned the op-
tion money on the script. “I
wanted actual retarded children
to show how close to normal
they are, or seem to be I had
spent so much time with them
that I knew a child actor could
never be believable.”
After college he demonstrated
another example of his dedica-
tion to principle. He wrote and
produced a musical in Maine.
The late Mike Todd saw it and
took an option to produce it on
Broadway. When he learned
Todd was to make a “girlie”
show from it he returned the
money and called the deal off.
That story brought Abby to
another of his favorite subjects,
sex-ridden movies. “They are
both unfortunate and unnecess-
ary. It’s been proven time and
time again that fine films with
a good story are successful at
the boxoffice. People are be-
ginning to laugh at those lurid
films and I think they will have
run their course soon. At least
I hope so."
His current film, “Ship of
Fools.” produced by Stanley
Kramer, has received excellent
critical notice. He tells a humor-
ous story about one review,
“The reviewer picked on the
sequence between the baseball
player and the midget as being
a wonderful adaptation from the
book. I was very pleased, only
the sequence wasn't even in the
book!"
Writing attracted Abby Mann
early in his life. After high
school he worked as a copy boy
on the Pittsburgh Press. Short-
ly thereafter he was a police
reporter in Atlantic City on the
Daily World He decided to go
on to college and after a year
was called up for 18 months of
military service. On the G. I.
Bill he later attended New York
University where he wrote his
first musical, “Freud Had a
Word for It."
“My next musical was a dis-
aster,” he told us. An agent
told me he could raise money
to produce it. He did, but he
skipped town with the money!"
Today Abby Mann has suc-
cessfully made the big jump
from television to movies. He's
currently working on a screen-
play of Andersonville” for
Kramer and an original screen-
play, “Two For the Road."
knowledge of any kind was an
essential qualification of a citi-
zen to vote.
This was strong medicine for
a cruel disease. The disease
was the discrimination which
prevented Negroes in many
southern counties from regis-
tering to vote. If they did man-
age to register, the Negroes oft-
en were dissuaded from voting
by various intimidations.
