PHYSICAL BEAUTY
NOT ENOUGH, SAYS
MOVIE EXECUTIVE
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., UPf—A
motion picture executive *says ex
travagant curves on the screen
are not enough to lure customers'
past the ticket window.
David A. Lipton told the thea
ter owners of America yesterday
that “the big busts have proven
to be a ‘big bust’ ,at the box office
during the past six months.
“Motion picture spectators are
demanding acting talent, not tre
mendous physical dimensions.”
Liphon said.
Lipton, vice president of Uni
versal Pictures, said, “We no long
er talk about new faces, but new
personalities—for we find that
the public wants more than a
pretty or handsome face; more
than a striking figure.”
Report Calls for Major Effort
To Avoid Soviet Neutralization
Of American Striking Power
WASHINGTON, t/P)—The White
House said Saturday President
Eisenhower will actively consider
a report unofficially described as
calling for a big effort to avoid
Soviet neutralization ofU.S. strik
ing power.
However, Mrs. Anne Wheaton,
associate White House press sec
retary who confirmed the exis
tence of the report, refused to
discuss its contents. She said she
does not know how purported ac
counts of it came to be published
in newspapers, but that it was not
released thru the White House.
The New York Herald Tribune
said the report warns that Soviet
missiles could neutralize the effect
of the far-ranging bombers of the
jUJS. Strategic Air Command by
; 1960.
! The New York Times said the
report urges building of a vast
network of shelters against atom-!
ic fallout.
Mrs. Wheaton said it was pre-'
sented td the President some time
ago thru the top' secret National
Security Council. She would not
discuss the newspaper accounts
of it.
Mrs. Wheaton said the study
was ordered early last spring and
was “one of numerous studies set
up to look into the problems inci
dent to active and passive nation
al defense.”
Mrs. Wheaton said the docu
ment is of a highly classified na
ture and therefore, “there is no
comment on its contents.”
She did say the work has been
completed and the report will be
actively considered by the Presi
dent and others.
