U.S. To Give
Russia Chance
‘To Make Good’
WASHINGTON, tP) — The
United States is going to give
Russia a chance to make good on
its new ambassador’s call for
“lifting all kinds of restrictions,
including those on travel.
Amiable Mikhail Menshikov
swept through town yesterday
like a one - man peace crusade.
He made two get-acquainted visits
to the State Department and one
to Vice President Nixon.
“I’m in favor of lifting all kinds
i of restrictions,” he said in a loud,
happy voice on Capitol Hill, wav
ing his arms. “That would be bet
ter for everybody.”
He gave short shrift to re
porters’ questions about a three- !
month-old formal U. S. note to j
Russia suggesting an end to off- |
limit areas in both countries. I
When, they asked, was Russia [
going to reply?
The State Department has been !
asking itself the same question, j
Thanks to Menshikov’s statement, |
officials said they will ask it of j
the Soviet government either thru j
the ambassador or in another for- ;
mal note.
Jayne Mansfield And Her
Muscular Hubby Wow
Them In Night Club Act
LAS VEGAS, Nev., (JV-Actress
Jayne Mansfield opened a four
week night club engagement last
night, shimmying, singing and
whirling about in the air while
clinging to the neck of her bride
groom, Mickey Hargitay.
That routine got the most gasps
from a $50-a-plate, March-of
Dimes benefit audience of 500
which rewarded her lush show
with considerable applause.
In other aerial acrobatics, the
muscular Mickey flipped his wife
around in the air and walked up
a ship’s gangplank holding her
over his head in one hand. This
was to climax one of her songs—
all special material — called “I
Want Love.”
Further proving Hargitay’s
muscle, Miss Mansfield wore dur
ing the whirlaround athletics, a
gown fashioned of tiny gold discs
and links and weighing 12 Vis
pounds, and costing, a hotel pub
licist averred, $25,000.
Miss Mansfield will get $25,000
per week for the Tropicana en
gagement.

cier has crashed through ice up to

“Full of Life” is Comedy
About Expectant Mother
To Show at Nomerama
The comedy “Full of Life” is
free of the usual Hollywood
blessed - event cliches, according
to Judy Holliday who is seen in
the film as a mother-to-be, wife
of co-star Richard Conte. “Full of
Life” introduces Metropolitan
Opera star Salvatore Baccaloni,
making his debut as Judy’s exu
berant father-in-law who contrib
utes to the problems of imminent
parenthood with which the film is
hilariously concerned.
“Usually on the screen,” Judy
says, “the new baby starts a cat
and mouse game between the hus
band and the wife. Everybody
knows she’s pregnant but him,
and she gives him more hints
than a contestant gets on a radio
quiz program, but nothing sinks
in.”
“In ‘Full of Life,’ Judy twin
kles, “just as in real life, my
screen husband, Richard Conte,
is the first to know.” In fact, the
picture is frankly and joyously
dedicated to the fact that babies
still come in the same old-fash
ioned way, with Judy playing a
nice young lady who is so “Full
of Life” she has everyone talking!
The picture is showing at the
Nomerama Friday and Saturday.
