"Definitely," said Arthur P.

Jacobs, producer of the Planet of the Apes pictures, the third sequel of which is being released this summer. ''I've heard all the urgumeuts pro and con," he said, "Some people say we were raised on cowboy and Indian pictures and war pictures during the 1330s and '40s. Maybe so. But usually we saw the gun fired and a man fall. There wasn't any detailed close up of the wound.

And blood was a rarity. "The overall effect was one of illusion. Fantasy. Today it's a different story. Personally, I think there was too much violence in The Godfather.

They didn't need it." Jacobs singled out A Clockwork Orange and Straw Dogs as excessively violent movies made for the sole purpose of exciting audiences on the basis of the amount of gore spilled. "An immature mind can be affected by these pictures," he said. (In B.C. the three films named above were in the Restricted Admittance classification.) "This atmosphere adds to the violence, shootings, crime and upheaval. "I think producers have a responsibility to audiences to cut down on violence.

Of course a man like Stanley Kubrick makes a point of saying Clockwork Orange has such a high degree of violence that it has the opposite effect on people. It turns them away from violence. "I don't agree. Sometimes violence is a possible substitute fur talent with some picture makers." Jacob's newest movie, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, is being made in three versions for different markets. "Our main ver 1 fV Monday evening on the National Broadcasting Company's nightly news program, John Chancellor was delivering a news item concerning Washington, D.C.

With thorough irrelevance, a map of the eastern seaboard appeared behind Chancellor, and Washington, D.C, was geographically pinpointed for viewers with faulty memories. According to the map, however, Washington was situated somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, several miles off the coast of the mainland. Chancellor, in the unflappable manner of network anchormen, didn't even blink, in fact he conveyed the distinct impression that if Washington isn't out in the Atlantic Ocean, it should be.1 No treatment of little things would bt complete without mention of a TV commercial. And this month's award for Instant Irritation goes to a modest production for tonic water. The scene: an at home party, carefully draped with Beautiful People.

A party game is in progress. A blind-folded man is handed a bottle and proceeds to guess what's in it. He suavely rambles on in British accent about "Schvveppes-ervesenee." The other guests are completely charmed and amused. But he hestilates, and his female British companion removes the blindfold, announcing with patronizing impatience: "Dahling, it's Schweppes toe nik woe-tah!" Frightfully moronic, don't you know. Where do all these little things leave the average viewer? Perhaps, while fixing another gin and tonic, worried about Washington, D.C, he is still wailing for the report from Lourdes.

The Gallery Singers appeared to do excellent justice, to each of these demanding works, and also to the Nunc Dimiltis from William Byrd's Great Service which, appropriately enough since Byrd was born in Lincolnshire in -4 terior prayerfulness was a prime requisite. Tuesday's program was of particular interest because of the first Vancouver performance of two works, a Jlissa Sine Credo by Bernard Naylor, an English composer who was formerly active in Winnipeg and who now lives in retirement in Victoria, and a Jubilate Deo specially written for the Gallery Singers by Michael Young of Vancouver.

For first instance, there were the closing moments of The Song of Bernadctte as seen on WABC-TV one afternoon recently. Jennifer Jones, in the 1943 film role that won her an Oscar, had already progressed beatifically from Lourdes to a life of shimmering renunciation in a convent. The climatic death scene was approaching. Doubts remained, however, about her claims of having seen "The Lady" at Lourdes, and an official delegation was sent to record her final deathbed affirmation. Then, as the music soared and Jennifer struggled for the energy to convince the skeptics, a message was superimposed on the TV screen: "Coming Up Next: Eyewitness News." Little things.

It's Fly-the-Flag Week World Championships Chessmen By ANN HENCKEN Associated Press NEW YORK Promotional aspects of the Fischer-Spassky world championship chess match are becoming as important as they arc in any big league sport. Chess matches are not usually world happenings. But with the keen interest caused by American Bobby Fischer challenging Russian Boris Spassky for the world title, it's a different situation.

Other highlights of the program were a lovely performance of Messiaen's 0 sacrum couvivium, and Debussy's settings of three medieval French poems by Charles d'Orleans which, with their typical Debussian fingerprints of parallel motion and the use of bare fifths, have an equivocal effect of sounding archaic and modern at the same U.Tic. i ') new experience.

1 turn their boats when they see his boxy blob of pubiug jelly. Swimmers sprint to safely, fir this sea wasp's sting is said to be fatal within three lo eight minutes. Milder sea wasps arc found in the Atlantic, soul ward from the Carolinas as far as Brazil and share the habits of their fiercer relatives. However, the mildest cuboidal jellyfish delivers an agouiz-iug sling. Even when beached by stormy gales, they can sting careless bare feet running over the sand.

Naturally these mindless creatures do not sling people on purpose. The rows of poisonous gUnds in their trailing tentacles arc triggered to sting anything they touch. The object is to paralyze or kill a sizeable fish that can be devoured without a struggle. Numerous sensors in the tentacles detect what may be edible foud. When Ihe object is human skin, the stingers react automatically.

This built in mechanism continues to operate lung after a cuboidal is beached and presumed dead. Many olhcr jellyfish arc armed with stinging tentacles, though these are the worst. We can be thankful that all the sea wasps are smaller than (ho.se jellyfish with saucers eight feet wide, trailing tentacles down 2uQ feet. The tides of most sea wasps measure only about one or two inches, though ono mcasuies 10 inches over his cuboidal roof.

There is a sea lily and a sea cucumber, a seahorse and a sea cow and once there lived a sea scorpion. These creatures bear slight resemblances to their land dwelling namesakes, though naturally they are in no way related. The sea wasp could never be mistaken fur a ycllowjackct or any other insect at least on sight. Ilcwevcr, he has a waspy sting.

It is far worse than a sting from a bad-tempered ycllowjackct. Sometimes il is fatal. The sea wasp belongs in the genus of cuboidal jellyfish, so named because his umbrella is shaped like a cube. In certain tropical and ecmilroplcal seas, swimmers and fishermen lake off when they see his bo.y blub of clear jelly in the water. The tentacles that dangle from each corner bear deadly dangerous stingers.
