...foreign-aid time, there are few sharper antagonists in the House than Louisiana Democrat Otto Passman and Minnesota Republican Walter Judd-Passman passionately against, Judd dourly for. Louisiana's Passman, 59, onetime refrigerator distributor and World War II Navy materiel and procurement officer, seven-term Congressman and Appropriations Committee axman, is an acknowledged expert who knows how to find every foreign-aid dollar in every foreign-aid pipeline and how to take maximum debating advantage thereof. Minnesota's Dr. Judd. 60, onetime medical missionary in China, is a nine-term Congressman and Foreign Affairs Committee veteran who just...
EURf Proclaimed World Refugee Year in the U.S. starting July i, sponsored a White House conference at which Minnesota's Republican Representative Walter Judd, onetime medical missionary in China, urged the West to do its utmost to help refugees from Communist aggression. "Every refugee who comes out,-". said Judd, "is a vote for our society and a vote against their society." ¶ Avoided the strong prospect of having an Eisenhower veto overridden for the first time during his Administration by signing a railroad retirement bill ($150 to $200 million more annual benefits) that he and most of his advisers...

Judd becomes a kind of ignoble Hamlet, a boy of "superior intellect" ill-adapted to a slick world of Stutz-Bearcats, bootlegged gin, and flappers. Artie, who dares him on, commands less sympathy, but lends a certain amount of humor in his badgering of the police and elaborately contrived lying...
...screenplay manages to connect the reporter who discovered Judd's glasses, his girl (Diane Varsi), and the homicidal pair. Artie urges Judd to assult the girl on a bird-watching date, and this crisis recreates the conflicts of the murder ("You're not that cruel, Judd....I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid for you"). But after the chatter between the cops, the reporter and his girl, Judd, Artie, and "Mumsie," and a destruction of the boy's alibi that has more resemblance to a college dean discovering who set off the stink-bomb in Chemistry, the movie...
