Play Criticized
But Still Put On
OBERAMMERGAU Germany (IV)
— A German critic wrote "It is
just bad theater" A correspondent
for New York's show business news-
paper Variety found it stuffy and
dated And even before the season
started a professor raised an old
complaint that it is anti-Semitic
They were all talking about the
Oberammergau passion play pro-
duced every 10 years in this vil-
lage at the foot of the Bavarian
Alps
Despite all criticism the show is
playing week after week this sum-
mer to capacity audiences of 5000
Drug Producers
Said Fixing Prices
WASHINGTON (iP) — The chief
buyer of medicines for the armed
forces has asked Congress for more
authority to protect the government
aginst overcharges by drug manu-
facturers Rear Adm William L Knicker-
bocker testified he has had some
"pretty frustrating" exper ien c es:
with identical bids from rival manu-
facturers for contracts at prices he
deemed too high He said he has
referred some of these instances to
the Justice Department for investi-
gation His prepared testimony did
not name any firms involved
Knickerbocker is executive di-
rector of the Military Medical Sup-
ply Agency in Brooklyn N Y
which spent $654 million last year
to buy medical supplies for the
armed forces
The Senate Antitrust and Monop-
oly subcommittee planned to hear
more testimony from Dr W G
Malcolm president of the American
Cyanimid Co of New York City
before calling Knickerbocker to
the witness stand
The subcommittee headed by Sen
Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn) is ex-
ploring allegations of monopolistic
practice and profiteering by the
drug industry
Malcolm vigorously defended his
company's record insisting the 177
percent profits earned by its medicine-producing
Lederle Laboratories
last year were "fair and reasonable"
But Kefauver questioned that
conclusion setting off a row with
Sen Everett M Dirksen
Dirksen suggested sharply that
"maybe someone has in mind here
a profit control or a price control"
by federal law Kefauver denied
any such desire
Knickerbocker said he had saved
the taxpayers $19 million within a
year by awarding five contracts to
Italian and Danish firms because he
felt American bidders were asking
too high prices
He advocated enactment of 'a new
law to let his agency demand a
satisfactory proof of cost factors
before determining whether a bid
is reasonable He also asked for au-
thority to review contracts for
medicine and to recover unreason-
able profit margins He said this is
permitted by law in other types of
defense procurement
Courthouse Going
Taxpayers Will Pay
TULSA Pi—Tulsa County's old
courthouse building ill be torn
down at county expense before the
property is offered again for sale
or lease two county commission-
ers are saying
Commissioners Fre nk O'Brien
and W V Caffey made the an-
nouncement after deciding to ask
the county Excise Board to trans-
fer $33000 from the county's $600-
000 highway general fund to fi-
nance the demolition
Both said the site is worth more
without the massive stone building
on it
The commission hasn't found
any takers on its offers to sell the
property It has been cool to offers
to lease
The property's value was ap-
praised officially in 1955 at $262-
000 without the building and $225-
000 with the structure in place

The visitor sees a dramatization
of Christ's last week on earth
crucifixion and resurrectioa accovi-
ing to a 100-year-old script Betm t:en
the narrative scenes are long choral
interludes and tableaux depicting
Old Testament scenes The perform-
ance runs from 6:15 am until nearly
6 pm with two hours out for lunch
Spectators sit under an arched
shelter open at one end to a big
outdoor stage
The elders of Oberammergau
pledged in 1633 to perform every
10 years a play in memory of
Christ's passion if the village was
spared from a plague According to
local legend plague deaths stopped
immediately and in 1034 the first
passion play was performed In 1680
the play scheduled shifted to the
10-year schedule
The current text is basically one
written by a parish priest the Rev
Alois Daisenberger between 1850
and 1860
It is strictly a local show per-
formed by villagers paid nominal
sums to make up for time lost from
regular work No professional actors
are used
There is a strict rule against
makeup The men of Oberammer-
gau let hair and beards grow for
the year of the passion play
Most spectators are obviously im-
pressed by the performance Some
weep during the crucifixion which
is presented with a startling real-
ity that has Christ hanging on the
cross almost 20 minutes
The passion play committee re-
ports its mail runs 90 percent favor-
able and 10 percent critical Pub-
lished articles on the play divide
about the same
At least some of the villagers
take the criticism seriously Revi-
sion of the play has been discussed
for over 30 years but a strong fac-
tion favors the traditional script
The passion play committee shrugs
off any attempt to criticize the play
on a theatrical basis Variety's critic
declared flatly "whatever it is it
is not entertainment" And the play
committee agrees They see it as a
devotional play not subject to nor-
mal standards of theatrical criti-
cism Stemming as it does from an
earlier time the play does not take
into account modern sensitivities
about anti-Semitism Some of the
harsher references to Jews were re-
moved from this year's production
but the Jewish high priests remain
the villains of the piece
Although some Jewish organiza-
tions still find objection individual
Jews have given testimonials ap-
proving the play as it is now be-
ing given

Pilot Sets Record
In New Carrier Jet
LOS ANGELES (P) — A Marine
Corps pilot whipped a new Carrier
Jet around a 310-mile triangular
course at almost twice the speed
of sound to break the closed-course
speed mark by 400 miles an hour
The record was set at Edwards
Air Force Base by Lt Col Thomas
H Miller in a McDonnell F4111
Phantom II fighter His speed:
121678 mph The old record set
in April 1959 by an Air Force
RI101 Voodoo was 8163 mph
Miller said powerful new engines
enabled the two-seater Phantom II
to set the new mark by such a
wide margin The jet is powered
by twin 16000-pound-thrust engines

Protestant Group
Against Kennedy
WASHINGTON (-Th--A Protestant
group says any Roman Catholic as
president of the United States
would be under pressure from the
heirarchy of his church and might
not be able to withstand it entirely
The statement came from a
group of 150 ministers and laymen
claiming membership from 37 de-
nominations They met as individ-
uals making up the National Con-
ference of Citizens for Religious
Freedom
Dr Norman Vincent Peale New
York minister and writer who pre-
sided at the meeting said there
was only incidental mention of
Sen John F Kennedy the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee who As
a Roman Catholic
'Were just raising the question
as to how free he could be" Dr
Peale said after describing Ken-
nedy as a loyal son of the church
Kennedy has repeatedly said that
as president he would not be in-
fluenced by church officials in mat-
ters of government policy
