Posner and hurled it back at the Democratic county leader. Posner had challenged any or all Republican candidates to debate 11 topics ranging from "the results of secret government" to "frills in our school system." Farbo, a Repub lican candidate for another term as councilman-at-large, offered to meet Posner on his own ground. 1 11 debate the 11 issues or any other he choses with Mr.

Posner at any time or place," the vice mayor said. "All Mr. Posner has to do is pick the time and the place and I'll be there." Farbo said his offer stood for any other Democratic candi date." Asked if he'd agree to debate before a Democratic meeting, Farbo replied: "That will be perfectly all right with me." The 11 main topics Posner outlined are: "One-party secret government and its results conflict-of-interest involving city-county personnel: slow-footed planning and what it has cost us; water pol lution and its health conse quences; tratlic problems and what is happening to downtown Rochester; increasing taxes and what the 3 per cent sales tax means to us. "Civil rights and the refusal of the city administration to do anything about it; consolidation of county-city services what is holding it capital improvements let's take another look at the needs and costs; juvenile delinquency and what are we going to do about it; and frills in our school system and do we want them?"

Police accused Reed of wounding Ersil Washington, son of Mr. and Mrs. Collie Roberts, 478 Ormond Friday afternoon with a- butcher knife while the boy was at his home with a baby sitter. The boy was treated for a 2-inch head gash at Strong Memorial Hospital. Reed was arrested about six hours after the alleged attack.

Detective Lt. Bernard Dailey said Reed admitted the attack, but gave no reason for it Greats of 1926-30 out into Shakespeare in "The Taming of the Shrew." Lillian Gish then was at the peak of her long screen career. To her credit were "La Boheme," "The Scarlet Letter" and "The Wind," now considered far ahead of its time in power and artistry. Navarro specialized as a gay romantic for most of that period with one notable exception. In "Ben Hur" the young Mexican bom actor gave a performance that many feci was the most moving case of actual inspiration ever to be captured by American cdmeras.

Barthelmess played 17 leading roles over those five years including that of Tol'ablo David in "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" and the lead in "The Dawn Patrol," praised by flyers as the best motion picture concerning the air phase of World War I. Lloyd was and is a byword in Hollywood comedies. It is only necessary to report that in the late '20s he made "For Heaven's Sake," "The Kid Brother," "Speedy," "Welcome Danger" and "Feet First." For Gloria Swanson. Lillian 1 Gish, Mary Tickford, Barthelmess and Lloyd, this is their second citation from Eastman House. "George" awards went to them at the First Film Festival, held in 1955 and covering the silent movie period of 1915-25.

OSCAR X. SOLBERT, Eastman House director, explained the various reasons other George winners cannot attend the presentation ceremonies. Greta Garbo, the great beauty and greatest actress of that period, is reportedly ill in New York City. Granted, she has remained aloof from the public since her abdication years ago. But Solbert holds out a slim hope she may yet appear.

"As one Swede to another," he said, "I'm planning on flying to New York Wednesday for a last chance talk with her." For the record," Garbo made her American debut in "Torrent," scored equal successes in such other films as "Devil and the Flesh" and "Love" and entered the talking era "Anna Christie." Clara Bow has been ill for some time. As the famed "It" Girl she set the tone of the Roaring Twenties in "Dancing Mothers." "Man Trap," "It." "Red Hair" and "The Wild Party." Norma Shearer, the sophisticated woman of that era, won acclaim in "The Divorcee" and "The Lat of Mrs. Chenry." She declined personal appearance here for "personal reasons." Powell, reportedly ailing, marked that era by turning from villainous roles to that drlnnair drtcctue In "Th and Co.

Presentations will be made by Mamoulian, famed stage and screen director-producer. Clips of the winners' movies will round out the program. )f rllE 33 WINNERS were selected from among 600 film artists of the 1926-30 period by their contemporaries during a special poll last sum- mer. Unfortunately, not all of them can be here in person.

Greta Garbo can't. At least, efforts to persuade her so far have failed. And she was voted the No. 1 star of that era by an overwhelming majority. Nor can Clara Bow, Norma Shearer, William Powell, Fred-ric March, Ronald Colman, Charlie Chaplin, Frank Capra or Cecil B.

DeMille. Saturday night's show still offers a commanding cast of characters. Gary Cooper, the durable "yep" man, will make his first visit to Rochester to get his George. And, for many movie fans, it may come as a surprise to learn his career dates back to the late 1920s. Cooper first gained notice in the 1926 film, "The Winning of Barbara Worth." In this same period he also made "The Legion of the Condemned," "The Virginian" and "Morocco," the first American film with Marlene Dietrich.

Gloria Swanson, still a leading personality, traces her film days back to 1915. By 1928 she reigned as undisputed queen of silent drama and a few years later successfully bridged the transition to sound when she sang "Love, Your Macic Spell is Everywhere" in "The Trespasser." Chevalier and sound movies arrived in Hollywood about the same time. Both are still going strong. His continental gaity bloomed in "The Love Parade," "Innocents of raris." "Playboy of raris" and "The Big Pond" and the "musical" took on a new meaning. Joan Crawford is the veteran of veterans.

She has more films to her credit and more yean as an active star than any other player in history of motion pictures. Since her debut in 1923 she has played major roles in more than 70 films. Some of them of the 192630 period: "Our Dancing Daughters." "Our Modern Maidens" and "Our Blushing Brides." Janet Gaynor, after several minor parts, won "overnight" stardom in "Seventh Heaven." Her special sweetheart approach reappeared in "Street Angel," but wai lost (and partially hidden hy a blond wig) in "Sunrise." 3JARY PICKFORD moved through that movio era by making her final appear-a nee as a golden-lock girl in "Sparrows," playing a young woman in "My Bot Girl" winning a 1929 Academy Award for her first talkie.

March cannot get here because of his current stage play on Broadway, "Long Day's Journey into Night." His George honors his parts in 14 films made in 1929 and '30, many romantic leads opposite Clara Bow, Ruth Chat-terton, Ann Harding and Jeanne Eagels.

Colman too, is too ill to make it. Back when he played the great lover in such films as "Night of Love," the scoundrel with a heart in "Raffles" and the intrepid "Bulldog Drummond." He also won a 1955 George. Chaplin, as he did in 1955, again has ignored all attempts to be contacted from his self-exile in Switzerland. "The Circus" was his outstanding film of that period. fHE MORE NOTABLE films of the award-winning directors are: King Vidor's "The Crowd," "The i "The Jazz Singer" and "Hallelujah." Frank Borzages "Seventh Heaven" and "They Had to See Paris." Clarence Brown's "Flesh and the Devil" and "Anna Christie." Frank Capra's "The Strong Man," "Long Pants" and "Ladies of Leisure." Cecil B.

DeMille's "The King of Kings," "The Godless Girl." "Dynamite" and "Madam Satan." Frank Lloyd's "Weary River." "The T)ivine Lady" ff and "The Lash." John Ford's "Four Sons," "The Black Watch" and "Men Without Women." Josef von Sternberg's "Underworld." "Docks of New York," "The Last Command" and "Morocco." The cameramen winning honors ore: Howe, for "Sor-roll and Marley, "The King of Mohr, "Noah's Rosher, Daniels, Edcson. "All Quiet on the Western Folsey, "The Garmes, "Garden of Allah." Solbert said DeMille will be Europe and Capra and Frank Lloyd are tied down in Hollywood with work. Others, hoped, might still make ceremonies. I THE SPREAD OF INFECTION IN YOUR HOME!
