Landlord Groza formed a left-wing peasants' movement known as the Plowmen's Front. He piled up wartime profits under the German occupation, but he shrewdly calculated the turn of the tide, got himself jailed by the Nazis before the Reds marched in from the east...

When Dr. Cooney made known his quandary, he had no trouble hitting Page One. Last week, over-cutely swathed as The Complex Mummy Complex, Dr. Cooney's story got into TV as the Armstrong Theater's first comic dramatization-from-life.
