...squabble along producers' row. The tiger so clearly deserves top billing. While all the two-legged characters wade around uncertainly in one another's shallow psyches, the purposeful tabby chews up half the population of India (although only two on-camera) and chops Actor Stewart Granger to bits. Prowling through the hill country of southern India, Cameraman Harry Gillan has brought back some startling footage on a real cool...
Unfortunately, there are a few squares loitering in the tall grass. Actor Granger strides up answering to the name of Harry Black, a famed hunter hired by the government to dispatch the tiger. He quickly corners the beast and is squeezing his finger on the trigger when a Land Rover roars by and scares it away. Drat!

Granger, executive secretary for the National Urban League. The four were mindful of the President's recent exhortation to Negro publishers that Negroes be "patient" in their quest for full civil rights, and Wilkins, for one, had criticized Ike roundly. As a result, both the Negro leaders and the President...
