Shakespeare Actor Rejects Film Oller "a Young Briton Turns Down Big Contracts By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Writer HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Movietown has a “lowbrow” reputation when it comes to the classics, but a young Shakespearean actor played to packed houses here this week in “Henry V,” stirring studio bigshots to offer him longterm film contracts. Laurence Harvey, who is not yet 30, turned them down admist cries oi disbelief. Here, indeed, was a new breed of actor. Harvey, crewcut and rangy, looks like an Ohio State fullback, but shatters the effect with an English accent as thick as a peasoup London fog. Youth Surprising “Everyone in this country is surprised to find a young man playing Shakespeare,” he said over a cocktail, “and that’s the principal reason why Americans avoid Shakespearean performances. They expect to find old men mouthing formal exercises in the tradition of the Japanese theater. “Granted, it takes experience to play Shakespeare. I started out when I was only 14 years old.” A member of the Old Vic Company, currently touring the United States, Harvey also is a member of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and the Shakespeare Memorial Society. Unlike most British visitors to I Hollywood, there is nothing reserved about the youngster who bears a resemblance to Robert I Mitchum. If it were not for his (accent he could be mistaken for ' a member of the Texas Chamber of Commerce. Dull and Phony “Stylized Shakespeare is as dull and phony as anything in the theater/’ he observed. “The bard i wrote for his times, and to enterstain people. “Therefore, I try to make my characterizations come alive by foregoing the old booming Shakespearean delivery. Not long ago an American tourist approached me after a performance at Stratford on Avon, amazed that he could understand the play and the actors. “Hollywood itself is falling into stylized performances. There seems to be a young group of actors making films here who specialize in mumbling their way through roles. “I find it very boring. A touch of Shakespearean dogma ipight help.” Harvey says he would enjoy appearing in motion pictures, but turns thumbs down on TV, preferring to work in England's National Theater where he earns only SIOO a week. “There is a great future for young- actors who want to perfect their trade and build fine careers,” Harvey concluded. “The Shakespearean field is wide open and uncrowded. Their participation also would stimulate American interest in the classics.” Safety Expert RALEIGH. N. C. — <UPD — Television station WRAL-TV was filming a farm safety show which featured demonstrations by extension service experts! A corn-husking expert was talking about safety as he approached the mechanical husker. Suddenly the cord of the microphone about his neck became entangled in the whirring machinery. 'The cord drew him closer and closer to the de-husking leaped to his rescue just in time. Station officials withheld the name of the expert. The scene was deleted from the film. The League of Nations was founded Jan. 10, 1920, and dissolved Jan. 10, 1946.

Sawfish's Saw Not Mainly A Weapon Rakes Sea Bottoms To Root Out Food By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — Among the innumerable unanswered scientific questions is what is the saw of the saw fish for. and a fish scientist has proposed a new anwer. It is used by the fish more as a rake than as a saw, suggested J.C.D. Watts; the fish rakes the sea bottoms with is rooting out small fish hiding in the mud and then gobbling them as they appear. Previous answers centered on the obvious. Surely any animal with a snout as long and meanlooking as the saw of a saw fish, used it as a weapon. Watts said, perhaps so now and then, but that wan’t its main purpose. Among Nature’s Ugliest If you’ve never looked a saw fish in the eye, you have a nightmare waiting., for you. They inhabit the warm seas and are among the ugliest of nature's creatures many of which are ugly enough to stop a clock. In the first place, they’re rather flat and spready at the belly. Then there’s the saw of bone lined op both sides with triangular teeth, which can account for more than one third of the total length. Finally they run to size. ITie largest with which people have become acquainted were 20 feet long with six-foot saws, weighing around 1,000 pounds. Fortunately for human peace of mind, people don't see them often because they are bottom livers. Watts is employed by the fisheries research unit of the governiment of Sierra Leone on the AfijI can west coast, a good place to j study saw fish. Occasionally they get washed up on beaches and fishermen encounter the disaster of getting one in a net. 10 Miles from Sea They're known to swim up rivers for long distances when the rivers are in flood. Watts,based a part of his contribution to science’s scant saw fish knowledge,

on one he caught in a river 10 miles from its outlet into the sea. This fish was male, 14 feet long, weighed 566 pounds. In its stomachi was a small fish which, having been gulped down, was whole and in “a fair state of preservation,” Watts reported to the international technical journal, “Nature.” This small fish haa been both sawed and stabbed by the saw fish's saw. On the basis of thi, Watt admitted, you could think the saw was a weapon of offense. But he thought it was a happenfish's saw. On the basis of this rivers at flood time, the water is so muddy they couldn’t see prey at a great enough distance to use their saws. Season's Greetings LYNCHBURG, Va.

Lower Farm Parity Ratio Is Foreseen

Lower Farm Prices To Decrease Ratio

WASHINGTON (UPD — The Agriculture Department indicated today lower farm prices in the wake of heavy production will send the farm parity ratio somewhat lower by the end of the month. The parity ratio is the relation of prices farmers receive to the cost of things they must buy. The ratio in mid-September was 85 per cent. It was 83 per cent in mid-August and in September, 1957.

Economists writing in the department's publication, "The Demand and Price Situation,” noted that prices of important farm commodities on major central markets the first part of October averaged slightly lower than in mid-September. Declines were reported for corn, eggs, broilers, hogs, and potatoes. A drop in farm prices of these cash crops without a corresponding cut in production expenses would cause the parity ratio to fall. No drop in production expenses was forecast.

The next farm price report, giving conditions as of mid-October, will be issued Oct. 31.

Meantime, the department estimated farmers’ cash receipts from marketings in the first nine months of 1958—up to Oct. I—at $22,800,000,000, up 11 per cent over the corresponding period in 1957. Prices averaged 6 per cent over the corresponding period in 1957. Prices averaged 6 per cent above last year, and the volume of marketings was up 5 per cent. Receipts from livestock and products for the first nine months totaled $13,800,000,000, up 10 per cent from a year ago, largely because of higher prices for cattle, hogs, and eggs. Crop receipts of 9 billion dollars were up 13 per cent from a year ago. This was due mostly to the large wheat and cotton crops. Higher average prices resulted in somewhat larger cash receipts from fruits.

Total cash receipts in September were about $3,300,000,000, 12 per cent more than year ago. Prices and marketings both were up from September, 1957. Receipts from livestock and products were $1,700,000,000, up 10 per cent from a year ago. Crop receipts in September were about $1,600,000,000, up 15 per cent from September a year ago. Prices of crops averaged slightly higher than a year ago. Prices of crops averaged slightly higher than a year ago, and marketings were up substantially. The department noted that the farm price of corn dropped a little more than usual from Aug. 15 to the early part of October.
