"Pockets" set the mood In her Introduction and outline of the story The curtain rose on the emperor's audience chamber in the palace, where the gold walls and glimpses through the windows of a lovely garden pro vided a background for the rich colors of the oriental costumes Magic and enchantment be gan working when a visitor from Japan announced he had heard of a wonderful nightingale in the emperor's kingdom, and had journeyed to hear it. The anger and chagrin of the emperor at his never having heard of the nightingale brings a little kitchen maid to his notice.

She claims to have heard the nightingale, and a search begins in which a young traveler and the chamberlain join. At last, after wandering through the woods, they hear the nightingale singing. Magic begins to work when flute like notes are heard and the bird appears and talks to the search ers, and agrees to go back to the palace with them. Betty Yudell was dainty and charming in her role of the nightingale. Back in the palace the em peror and his daughter, Wing boong, ably portrayed by Debra Van Vlack, are enjoying the delicate notes of the bird when a gift is brought to the emperor from Japan.

It is a golden nightingale in a cage. When wound it sings. This is a triumph of ingenuity. The golden wings slowly unfurl and liquid notes seem to pour from Its throat. Dianne Spinski is splendid in her role of the mechanical bird, especially when the mechanism breaks down.

Meanwhile, the real nightin gale has stolen back to the woods. When the emperor becomes ill, he longs to hear the song again, but the golden bird has broken down, and the real bird has flown. However, all ends well when the original nightingale returns to comfort the emperor, who re covers. He secures a promise that the nightingale will return each evening to sing for him. Charles Stanley gave a very fine performance as the em peror, roaring his commends in most autocratic fashion.

George McCornac as the chamberlain was also outstanding with his pompous blustering. Michelle Dering as the little kitchen maid deserves mention, as does Chris Wilson as Lin Foo.

President Johnson's support ers chastised iNew YorK sen. Robert F.

Kennedy for waging what they said was a full scale political charging that Kennedy forces had threatened to destroy state Democratic leaders who refused to support him. From the other side, State Democratic Chairman John J. Burns, a leader of the Kennedy forces, accused Rep. Joseph Y. Resnick of Ellenville, who is pro Johnson, of "trying to buy" the Democratic nomination of U.S.

Senate. Resnick is one of four declared candidates for the nomi nation to oppose Republican Sen. Jacob K. Javits in Novem ber's election. Talking of Resnick, the state chairman remarked: "He's said in a very brash way he's willing to spend $3 million" on his campaign Resnick shot back: "Burns is supposed to be a state chairman.

If he had a shred of politi cal decency he would resign and go on Kennedy's payroll." I he congressman said Burns had been "bought and paid for" by Kennedy forces, explaining that he meant oavment "in goodies in prestige of being part of Kennedy's organiza tion Harrlman Backs Johnson In another development, for mer New York governor and now Ambassador W. Averell Harriman, who has been close to the Kennedy family even to escorting widow Mrs. John F. Kennedy to social engagements announced his support for Johnson. "I firmly and sincerely believe that under his continuing leadership we can achieve peace," Harriman said in a statement that announced him as honorary chairman of the New York State Committee for President Johnson.

Frank D. O'Connor, Neve York's City Council president and chairman of the Johnson committee, said Kennedy was waging a "ruthless" effort to roll up support for his presidential candidacy. O'Connor said Kennedy's "full scale political war" could jeopardize chances for peace in Vietnam. State Chairman Burns replied that any charge that Kennedy's candidacy was aiding and comforting the enemy in Vietnam was just "a lot of garbage." Kennedy has called for an immediate halt in the bombing, followed by peace talks. Rep.
