Actors’ Strike Will
Not Dull Academy
Awards Tonight
HOLLYWOOD, UP* — Tonight is
Oscar night and the nation, via
television, will get a look at the
prettiest bunch of unemployed
workers in history.
The month-old actors strike will
put a pall over the 32nd annual
Academy Awards but the public
won’t see it. The 90-minute show
promises to be as gay and gla
morous as ever.
If more time is needed, an extra
30 minutes will be tagged on the
end. Last year the two-hour show
found itself with 20 minutes of
embarrassing dead air.
Fourteen of the 20 acting nomi
nees will be on hand, including
the two favorites for best actress
— Elizabeth Taylor and Simone
Signoret—'both wearing gowns by
the same Parisian designer.
Audrey Hepburn, also a poten
tial winner, is kept in BUrope by
pregnancy and Katherine Hep
burn, who seldom appears at in
dustry functions, will be home in
Connecticut. Doris Day, nomina
ted for a comedy performance in
“Pillow Talk,” is not listed among
favorites, but will be present.
Mama of Flynn’s Protege
Gets Lover-Boy Backhand
HOLLYWOOD, W) — From now
on, vows Florence Aadland, she’s
going to see to it that her daught
er, Beverly, dates only doctors
and lawyers.
Mrs. Aadland checked into a
hospital to have her jaw exam
ined. “I think it’s broke,” said the
mother' of the late Errol Flynn’s
teen-age protege. She said Bev
erly’s latest admirer, age 19,
“backhanded me. when I told him
to get his hands off my baby.”
“This new guy,” she mused,
“he’s trying to be in love with
my baby, but this is a lot of silly
stuff. He couldn’t afford to buy
Beverly toothpaste for a month.”
On the top actor nominees, only
veteran Paul Muni will be absent.
Favorite is Charlton Heston who
is expected to win on a “Ben Hur”
sweep.
James Stewart and Jack Lem
mon could take it. Lemmon, won
the supporting Oscar with a com
edy portrayal a few years ago,
could repeat in the top acting
category. It would ipake him the
first actor to ever win in both
divisions and comedy is the hard
i way to do it.

Prelate Denounces
Departure from ‘Truth’
LOS ANGELES, UP)— A Roman
Catholic prelate says he believes
misguided liberalism is departing
from fundamental principles of
right and wrong.
“There is nothing as stubborn
as a fact-principle of truth, integ
rity and honesty,” James Francis
Cardinal McIntyre told a meeting
of Knights of Columbus Sunday.
Commenting on recent court de
cision on so-called obscene litera
ture, the Cardinal said: “The ef
forts of legislative and judicial
agencies to depart from these
principles are ludicrous. No mat
ter how thin you slice it, it’s still
smut.”
IPrimary Climax Expected to Weed Out
I Nominees as Million Wisconsinites Vote
By RELMAN MORIN
MILWAUKEE, UP! — Campaign
ing comes to a climax in Wiscon
sin today and the state is a poli
tical sphinx on the eve of its
crucial Presidential primary elec
tion.
Upwards of a million voters,
and possibly more, go to the polls
Tuesday.
They allocate delegate votes to
the nominating conventions of
both major political parties. But
far more important is the poten
tial psychological effect of the bal
loting on the outlook for the two
Democratic rivals, Sen. John Ken
nedy of Massachusetts, and Sen.
Hubert Humphrey of Minesota.
With good reason, Wisconsin has
come to be known as “the grave
yard of candidates.”
An air of caution pervades Ken
nedy’s camp. His supporters have
sharply tempered the exhu'berant
prediction they were making ear
lier in the campaign.
Vice versa, Humphrey looks
and acts more confident than he
did a few weeks ago. “I believe
we will obtain a majority of the
delegates,” he said.
A recent poll in Wisconsin indi
cated that Humphrey has gained
on Kennedy, although Kennedy
is still the front runner.
You hear muoh less talk today
of a Kennedy “grand slam” —
that is, that he will get the highest
total vote, scoop up the delegates
in all 10 Congressional districts
and win all the at-large delegates.
There are two reasons for this
eleventh-hour uncertainty:
1. No one can say with precision
how injecting the religious issue
into the campaign will effect
either Humphrey or Kennedy.
Humphrey is a Protestant and
Kennedy is a Roman Catholic.
About 30 per cent of the voters
in Wisconsin are Catholics.
The state law permits a voter
to ballot for either a Republican
or Democratic candidate.
2. The second great imponder
able in the battle as it stands now
is the extent to which Humphrey’s
campaign has caught on with the
voters.
His backers insist he has picked
up momentum in the past few
days. Neutral obserers tend to
agree.
Geneva Talks Bog
Down Again Over
Soviet Demands
GENEVA, (Ah — The Soviet
Union today rejected any agree
ment to 'ban nuclear space ve
hicles unless the United States
simultaneously abandons its over
seas bases.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Zorin described a space vehicles
ban alone as a one-sided proposal
aimed at controlling a sphere
where the Soviets have a superi
ority.
A ban on satellites capable of
mass destruction was proposed
Friday by U. S. Ambassador Fred
erick Eaton as the first concrete
step to a general disarmament
agreement. Zorin told a news con
ference today “Eaton’s proposal,
of course, cannot be accepted.”
Earlier, in a 55-minute session
of the 10-nation disarmament con
ference, the Soviet delegate ac
cused the Western powers of seek
ing to use disarmament negotia
tions only to deprive the Soviet
JJnion of its existing military ad
vantages. He claimed the United
States was pursuing policies, which
“have nothing in' common with
general and complete disarma
ment.”
Zorin’s charges tightened the
deadlock in the negotiations,
which have entered their fourth
week. He said no progress is pos
sible unless the West accepts the
Soviet four-year plan for total
disarmament as a basis of dis
cussion.
I NASA Takes Delivery of
First Space Capsule
ST. LOUIS, GW—McDonnell Air
craft Corp., has delivered the first
■Project Mercury space capsule to
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
The vehicle is designed to carry
the first astronaut into orbit
around the earth.
The capsule was delivered Sat
urday to NASA’s launch test site
at Wallop’s Island, Va., where it
will undergo extensive testing.
McDonnell spokesmen said the
capsule was the first ordered by
the government 14 months ago.
Rattlesnake Carnival!
OKEENE. Okla., GW — Connois
seurs with a taste for rattlesnake
meat joined hunters and curious
spectators Sunday at the annual
Okeene Rattlesnake Hunt.
The. people numJbered 19,000
and they turned this wind-swept
northwestern Oklahoma town of
lyilOO into a carnival.
The snakes bagged by hunters
in heavy boots weighed 2,044
pounds—before the hungry lovers
of barbecued snake meat went to
work.
Chamber of Commerce Presi
dent Anthony Felder said 500
pounds of the delicacy was sold
right off the griddle. Without
barbecue it tastes something like
chicken breast.
Felder said the price of rattle
snake — down from 50 cents a
pound last year to 20 cents this
year — probably prevented a re
cord catch.
