For once he is not being forced to play the stereotyped version of the last angry man. Instead, he is able to use all the things he does best the loud guffaw, the easy patter and the perpetual jittery look to create a full-bodied man, an angry and yet still sym- at CO a a td td to i 1 By KATHLEEN CARROLL Has the American Dream become the American Nightmare Has the race for material success cost America its innocence Are we, as individuals, so caught up in that race we ve lost sight of life real values? "Save the Tiger," at Loew's Tower East, answers yes. In its stronger moments, It is a savage satire on the way we live now, a bitter indictment of a high pressure society that reduces its cab drivers to snarling beasts and its business executives to sexual predators. BUT THE FILM has weak moments, too, scenes that are sluggish and oppressive. One is left feeling vaguely unsatisfied, as if something had been lost in the As he demonstrated in the movie, "Joe," director John Avildsen has a particular talent for recreating lifelike situations.

Here, his camera works like a magnet, picking up each squalid detail. He begins by closing in on a stagnant Beverl; Hills swimming pool and adjoining mansion. These status symbols belong to the owner of a sportswear house, a man who has worked hard to earn his Italian silk suits and his Cadillac OUR MAN, played by Jack Lemmon, wakes up looking sour and surely as if he had been drinking hard the night before. He gropes his way through the morning paper, noting groggily that the world is in one big mess. Eventually he drives to work, arriving at a dismal building in the heart of the Angeles' garment center.

From his partner (Jack Gilford), he learns the worst. The crisis he has feared is at hand. He has two choices, accept bankruptcy and lose everything, including his precious status symbols. Or he can ignore his conscience, hire a professional arsonist to burn down one of his plants and use the insurance money to salvage his business. IN THESE times of pornographic movies it doesn't seem like an immoral act, only a necessary compromise for survival, our man tells himself.

And yet instinctively his mind drifts back to a more innocent time when such moral, decisions would have seemed clear cut. He suddenly finds it comforting to rattle off the names of old baseball heroes. As if reminding himself of the days when heroes -were heroes and rules were rules, will somehow ease the pain of his decision.

Would Bolster Law Against Child Abuse Hartford, Feb. 14 (AP) The General Assembly's Finance Committee ran into a solid wall of opposition today to a proposed penny tax on gasoline to subsidize bus transportation in Connecticut. Senior citizens, taxicab companies, the Connecticut Labor Council, the Connecticut Automobile Club, the highway lobby and representatives of dozens of other groups as well as a host of individuals packed the Hall of the House to urge defeat of the proposed levy. The public hearing confirmed reports from Republican leaders that the proposal did not have enough support to win approval from the legislature. Hope for Alterations The leaders held out hope that alternatives would be proposed, based on some kind of gasoline tax.

But at the end of a morning of testimony, no basic changes in the tax plan had been publicly proposed. "When there are two other available sources of revenue already available to the state to get the buses back on the road, why is a new gas tax needed," asked Joseph C. Bober, legislative agent for the State Labor Council.He said the state could tap the ublic Service Tax Fund or federal revenue sharing rather than increase gasoline taxes. William Holsten of the Connecticut Senior Citizens Council denounced the tax proposal. He said it was "difficult to understand' the plan in light of a state budget surplus, a proposed cut in the sales tax, revenue sharing and a surplus in the state High way und.

Fund Sacrosanct "Why is the Highway Fund so sacrosanct that it can't be used in an emergency?" Holsten asked. Granby's First Selectman Otto Neuman said his town would be taxed with no say in how the money would be spent. Under the proposed tax, a one penny tax would be levied on all towns within a planning area for use in transit districts within the planning regions. Sees Special Interests Finance Committee co-chairman Lawrence DeNardis of Ham- den said the opposition came from the suburbs and vested interests." He mentioned the pe troleum industry and what he termed the "road gang," a reference to the highway lobby. Meanwhile, Gov.
