"I have no quarrel with sex, but I have a quarrel with depravity and sheer bestiality. "Far from exciting a sexual urge, the movie would seem to depress it. If I were shopping for sex, I wouldn't be attracted by the bill of fare." Aden said he does not feel the edited, or so-called "Maryland" version of the movie would be more acceptable.

One of the scenes deleted is the "casket" scene, in which Brando unleashes a stream of invective obscenities directed against the corpse of his wife, who had committed suicide. "WHY THE HELL would you delete that scene?" Aden commented. "It's just a routine psychotic bit on the part of a routine psychotic widower. Taking it out wouldn't do a thing for the movie." "Last Tango in Paris" is scheduled to run at least eight weeks at the Belcourt. Then and Now Jfe Sir 9 i I xn.mm.

THE ACCIDENT occurred, Loftis said, where the 1-40 inner-loop merges with 1-65 and 1-24 North at the entrance ramp to Silliman Evans Bridge. "The car struck the outer edge of a small concrete safety island, causing the right front tire to blow out," said Loftis. "After the blowout, the car swerved out of control, traveling about 100 feet diagonally across the two lanes of 1-24, 65." The officer said the car struck the guard rail "almost headon and plunged through SUN VALLEY POOL PARK 10 A.M. .7 P.M.. tun.

It landed on its top in the brushy area below the bridge. LOFTIS SAID Mrs. Brown, whom he identified as the driver of the sedan, had a letter explaining how to "get through Nashville." He said the letter, written by a relative, instructed Mrs.

Brown to "get on 1-40 to Nashville and take 1-65 north from Nashville to Louisville." According to Mrs. Hattie Tate, mother of Ternetter Tate, the trip had been planned for several weeks. "SEVERAL MORE of us had planned to go to Flint this month but my husband, John, got his vacation in May and we went up there then," she said. Mrs. Tate said the victims were planning to stay in Flint for two weeks, visiting Mrs.

Brown's son, George Brown and his family. Mrs. Tate's husband, John Staff Photo by Robert Johnson Tragedy Capt. Malcolm Akin, head of special operations, which includes the traffic division, said the emergency equipment was not available because "we do not run traffic cars from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.

We simply don't have the manpower." The traffic commander on the day and evening shifts "is supposed to have a saw in the trunk of his car," said Akin, explaining that since no traffic officers were working, "there was no traffic commander on duty." said the highway patrol unit arrived about 6:30 a.m., more than 45 minutes after the accident. Witnesses said it took about 10 minutes for officers to remove the top of the car. "When we got there the car was still on its top," said Greg May, a driver for Phillips-Robinson Funeral Home. "We could see no signs of life. Later we heard a small child inside whimpering.

"THE BIGGEST problem was that we couldn't get to the one that was alive," said May. "The officers used a wrecker to pull off a door after the car was turned upright, but the top was flattened right down to the top of the seat backs." May said the Rayford child, the lone survivor, was found lying on the back seat beneath several other people. The accident was reported by a Mid-State Steel Co. employe, who was working in a building about 100 yards from where the car crashed to the ground. James White, a Mid-State foreman, said Thomas Talley reported hearing "something that sounded like a shot, then the loud crash just before the dead thud" when the car landed.

By EVE ZIBART "Last Tango in Paris" opened last night at the Belcourt Cinema to two sell-out crowds, while an estimated 800 to 900 persons were turned away at the box office. Those who expected mistakenly, it turned out a raid by the district attorney general's office or the Metro police on the controversial X-rated fitm were likewise disappointed. ALTHOUGH THE tickets for the 6:45 p.m. showing did not go on sale until 5 p.m., the line of prospective buyers began forming about two hours earlier. All 436 seats were sold out within the first hour, and the second show tickets went as quickly.

Jim Doran, attorney for the Belcourt's owner, Fred H. Massey, said he did not expect a "bust." "The district attorney's office was invited to the screening Tuesday, but Dist. Atty. Gen. Thomas Shriver indicated that he did not wish to attend," said Doran, adding that he had been watching in the looby lor a representative and had not seen one.

"if anyone came, they for their tiCKet, I know that. SHRIVER SAID no one from his office attended last night's shows but that an investigator probably will view the iilm eventually. The district attorney said there will be no "raid" against the movie since Tennessee law does not permit such an action. "If we found it to be without redeeming social value, we would have to seek a court order against the film." he added. "Why don't you just let this die a natural death?" he asked a reporter.

Many of those in the first-show audience voiced approval of the Bernardo Bertolucci film. MR. AND MRS. David Mun-son agreed that "there was nothing pornographic about it." "I've seen R-rated films that were worse than that," said Munson, and his wife added, "It's about a lonely man, and I've seen men like that all over the place. You don't have to go to Paris for that." Stanlev Siegel, host of WLAC-TV's "Morning With Siegel" show, said the movie included "some of the most dramatic and moving scenes I've ever seen." "NO.

I WOULDN'T want to see it again," he continued, "but then I wouldn't want to see World War II again either." Laura Dennison thought that, while the film was "important," she wouldn't want to see it again. "But I thought it was one of Brando's best. I'd go see this long before I'd see 'The Joyce Murphy called it "not profane, not "I wouldn't see it again, but not because I didn't like it," said Hendricks Brown. "I hadn't read much except that it was a movie you should see or shouldn't see, depending on your point of view." THERE WERE, however, differing opinions. John Aden, professor of English at Van-derbilt University, characterized the film as "hideous." "When I say 'hideous' I mean that it turned my THE JUDGE added, however, that he had no plans to cite the Tennessean for using the names of the youngsters in a story in its editions yesterday, according to UPI.

"As far as I know, they were never notified not to tun it," he said. "I don't think the Tennessean should be fined on contempt charges unless they are notified." However, UPI quoted Young as saying he had consulted with attorneys Carter Conway and James Woodard, who represent the other two youths, and they will "seek contempt charges against the Tennessean." THE ATTORNEY said the paper's correspondent "was in the courtroom when the order was handed down." "I feel that in the interest of my client I'm bound to seek contempt charges. They're only juveniles and are protected under the law, particularly prior to a preliminary hearing. So far they have onlv been charged," UPI quoted Young as saying. William R.

Willis, general counsel for the Tennessean, commented last night: "THE TENNESSEAN is not a party to the action. No papers have been served on the newspaper. And of course, Brushy Mountain Penitentiary looks like a ghost town now. Until it closed last July as the result of a guards' labor dispute, the prison housed 400 inmates and employed almost 200 guards. Tom Rogers went to Petros, to survey the impact of the closing on Morgan County.

NO WAITING LINE ON SUNDAYS Metro Detective C. Hendricks, Secretary Fired (Continued From Page One) three traffic tickets for one person." THE SOURCE said Hendricks, Mrs. Stannard, and Bob Johnson, a former warrant server who quit his job about two months ago, allegedly took $150 from the person for allegedly "fixing" the tickets. The source said he did not know the identification of the person who was cited with the violations. The source explained that an investigation into the case has been under way about two weeks by the internal affairs section of the Police Department.

A MEMO stating the dismissals of Hendricks and Mrs. Stannard was sent yesterday from the office of Asst. Police Chief Donald Barton. Police Chief Hugh B. Mott and Barton were reported to be attending a convention in Memphis and could not be reached for comment.

Hendricks, a detective for four years, could not be reached for comment at his home last night. When Mrs. Stannard was reached by phone at her home, she declined comment about her dismissal. "I JUST DON'T want to talk about it," she said. "I just don't have any comment about it." Cases in which action is taken against Metro policemen usually are the business of the internal affairs section of the Police Department.

Capt. W. A. (Mickey) McDaniel, who works in that division, was asked last night about the dismissals. "I can't talk about it," said McDaniel.

"It has long been out of our hands." Capt. Paul Godsey. chief of detectives, said he was aware that Hendricks was fired but said he did not know the reason. in addition and most important, the Tennessean is covered by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States." During yesterday's coroner's inquest Dr. Lillie Mauricio, pathologist at the Williamson County Hospital who performed the autopsy on Eason.

testified that all evidence pointed to a drug overdose. She added, however, that the autopsy did not produce any evidence of drugs in the body. It was noted at the inquest that a complete report on the autopsy has not been received from a state laboratory. Williams quoted statements from the girl as saying she, Hawks, Eason and another girl, Sue Maddox, of Franklin, injected the heroin in a room at a motel north of here. The sheriff said the other girl was not charged because she got in an argument and left shortly after the heroin allegedly was taken.

THE SHERIFF further testified that Hawks apparently aided Eason in taking the shot. He said Miss Jones and Hawks left the motel for a period and when they returned they found Eason dead. They then went to the truck stop where Hawks recruited Daniels and Helton to help him move the body, At These Two Restaurants Tate, said he drew a map for Mrs. Brown to follow. "I DIDN'T THINK they would have any trouble in Nashville but I told them to be careful going through Louisville," he said.

Tate said the car belonged to Mrs. Glover and when they left Pine Bluff, she was driving. He added Mrs. Rayford also could drive. The officer said investigators were unable to determine why Mrs.

Brown had taken 1-40 inner-loop instead of the section of northeast bound interstate that connects with 1-65 near Trinity Lane. "ITS A NATURAL tendency for people unfamiliar with Nashville streets to follow the loop to where it meets 1-65 near the Silliman Evans Bridge," Loftis said. He speculated that perhaps the "heavy ground fog" caused Mrs. Brown to get lost. All nine passengers were trapped in the wreckage lor more than an hour, witnesses said, while police attempted to locate a power saw to remove the car's top.

Police officials said officers assigned to a squad car specially equpped to handle such emergencies were not on duty and that a Tennessee Hignway Patrol unit had to be dispatched to the scene. THE ACCIDENT was reported shortly before dawn at 5:43 a.m. A spokesman Patrolman Draws 3-Day Suspension A Metro patrolman, once charged with setting fire to his wife's clothing, was given a Mme-dr- without pay following a disciplinary board hearing yesterday, Police Chief Hugh B.
