Farmer, 51, a well-to-do corporation lawyer, an Episcopalian and a Yaleman, gave up his legal practice about five years ago, devoted himself to the cause of world government, is suing the U.S. Government for recovery of two-thirds of his income tax because the two-thirds are used for war purposes.

Best of many good sequences: a bizarre ballet, staged by Choreographer Eugene (Billy the Kid) Loring, in which a dungeonful of non-piano-playing musicians writhe in expressionistic torment as they are punished by fanatical...
