Movie Stars Kill Anniversary Plans Lack Os Interest By Stars Cancels Tour HOLLYWOOD (UP) — Movieland’s 50th birthday party laid the biggest egg in history this week when the golden jubilee 17 - city tour was cancelled for lack of interest by the movie stars themselves. For months the studios, producers and other high brass planned the 20-day junket to rekindle interest in motion pictures. Everybody was in on it—theater owners, publicity men, agents and moguls. Enthusiasm was lashed up to get a planeload of stars to visit such cities as New York, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans and San Francisco to let the public see its heroes and glamour girls in the flesh. Stan Reject Plan They overlooked one element — the stars. No amount of cajoling could get top-notch name* to go along with the idea. Thus, the invasion of the hinterlands was called off. Originally the plan was to show off stars of the stature of Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby and Audrey Hepburn. The Producers Assn., which backed the project with SIOO,OOO to meet expenses, announced the cancellation because “extensive production commitments” prevented the big stars from taking part. Yet many of the luminaries contacted for the jubilee will be trekking to New York this week to attend Mike Todd's wingding at Madison Square Garden. Upshot of the birthday party that flopped is much bitterness within, the industry. With theater business down 21 per cent over test year, the movie colony is in serious financial trouble. And many Hollywoodians are pointing

their fingers at the stars. Actors Endanger Careen They say the wealthy men and women stars, many of whom have made millions from the silver screen in the past 25 years, are bringing about their own downfall. , Others blame the major studios. But studio big Wigs point out that they no longer have control of the stars. Fifteen years ago studio chiefs would have ordered their stars to go on the junket. Today most players have formed their own companies, and do as they please when they're not working. British Designing Bowler Space Ship Hope For Return To Earth's Atmosphere LONDON W — A British aircraft company is designing a "flying bowler” space ship which it believes could return to the earth's atmosphere without being consumed like a meteor. Chief "'aerodynamist W. F. Hilton of Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Co. said he would build a windtunnel model to test his theory that a flying saucer shaped like a derby hat would be able to beat the heat barrier.

One of the problems still to be solved in space travel is that of re-entry into the atmosphere of the earth. A six-inch model of the Flying Bowler now on Hilton's drawing board will be subjected in tests to winds of three times the speed of sound. Hilton said he believed a bow-ler-shaped space craft would be able to cut gradually back into the earth's atmosphere in such away as to escape the consuming heat. Reuther In Proposal To Kohler Company Urges Company To Abide By Findings SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (UP) — A spokesman for the Kohler Co. today had "no comment" cm a prooosal by United Auto Workers Chief Walter Reuther that the company comply with the "directives and findings” of the National Labor Relations Board. In its turn, Reuther said, the union would call off one of the longest strikes in US. labor history. Lyman C. Conger, chief attorney for the plumbingware firm, said at suburban Kohler that the company was preparing exceptions to the trial examiner's findings which were handed down last week. The exceptions must be filed before Nov. 1. Reuther’s telegram to Kohler President Herbert V. Kohler Monday night said the United Auto Workers had exceptions of their own to the NLRB findings but are "nevertheless willing to accept the recommendations as a basis for settlement.” NLRB trial examiner George A. Downing found the company guilty of unfair labor practices and recommended that striking employes be reinstated and that Kohler "bargain collectively with the union as the exclusive representative of its employes.” Johnson County To Name Top Citizen FRANKLIN (IB — State Sen. Matthew E. Welsh (D-Vincennes) will speak at a "Good Government Award” dinner Oct. 30. Johnson County’s "outstanding citizen” will be named at the dinner, sponsored by Jaycees.

Women Working At Aiding Neighborhood Put Homemaking On Neighborhood Scale NEW YORK (UP)—More and more women are working at homemaking on a neighborhood scale. They're clearing slums and improving the neighborhoods in which they live. Currently, they’re particularly interested in civic action to make the multi - billion dollar federal highway construction program a means of ridding their home communities of unsightly or unhealthy areas. A spokesman for the non-profit, non • political organization called ACTION, the American Council To Improve Our Neighborhoods, said women make up close to half of the leader - correspondents in it* 750 member groups, and are joining the 2,000 organized groups in the country in ever-increasing numbers. Highways Key Concern The federal highway construction program and city planning around it is high on the agenda of ACTION activities in the coming months. It will have top priority at the Pacific Coast urban renewal clinic to be held in Berkeley, California, Oct. 17 and 18, as it did in the East Coast clinic which was held in New York on Sept. 23 and 24. The Durban renewal clinics, which last drew some 800 persons from several hundred cities in 32 states, are workshops in which mayors, health, housing and community planning experts, and rep- , resentatives of business and citizens organizations get together to talk over the financing and expediting of local neighborhood improvement plans. ACTION was formed in 1954 to serve a dual purpose through citizen action: To prevent slums from starting and spreading; and to eliminate those already in existence. Its activities have been further spurred by the daily Increase in population and the widespread shift from rural to trbarts living. The organization feels that if urban development is aUowed to grow spontaneously, it will lead to overcrowding and more depressed areas, but that if it is planned, it will lead to further expansion and prosperity. 1,009 Letters A Month ACTION says the fact that citizens are vitally interested in its programs is shown by the fact that some 1,000 letters a month asking for literature and information about how to form ACTION groups reaches its New York headquarters at 2 West 48th St., each month. Organization records show women's work in neighborhood improvement has transformed de-bris-strewn lots into playgrounds, and streets into parks. It has improved property values in single blocks and large metropolitan areas, and changed coding laws. "We have found women often are sharper than men in boning up on local laws and regulations,” said one male member of the organization. Want Court Set Aside Restraining Order WASHINGTON — W — Teamsers Union attorneys prepared toda yto ask the U.S. Court of Appeals to let James R. Hoffa take office as union president. The union’s lawyers want the court to set aside a temporary federal district court injunction preventing Hoffa from taking over command of the nation’s largest union for 10 days. Federal District Judge F. Dickinson Letts signed the temporary injunction «. Monday continuing Dave Beck in office. Beck has agreed to step down before his term expires Dec. 1.

The announcement was made by Vice Adm. Roscoe Good, commander of naval forces in Japan. A naval spokesman said, "Admiral Good’s action followed a thorough and exhaustive investiga- ’ tion and legal review into the com--1 plaints made by 25 prisoners at the (Sasebo) naval brig.

the back with rifle-butts by the U.S. Marine guards and "for no reason at all.” Daggett was in the brig at the time.

He said in an earlier outlook that the rain this week would average onefourth to one-half inch. But even that would help dampen parched countryside becoming drier by the day gs leaves fall from trees and frost-bitten grass turns brown. Temperatures at low points early today ranged from 49 at Fort Wayne to 59 at South Bend, far above the cool readings; some below freezing, which occurred last weekend. Similar lows were expected tonight. Trade in a good town — Decat..
