Star Os TV Western In Top-Flight Movie By VERNON SCOTT . UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPl)—Steve McQueen. star of TV's “Wanted — Dead or Alive” oat bin epic, has slouched his way into a top-flight movie, following the sawdust trail pioneered by J"J3 (Maverick) Garner and Clint (Cheyenne) Walker. A sort of a beatnik without portfolio, McQueen has a sleepyeyed outlook on life that even a co-starring role with Frank Sinatra can’t shake. "It’s pice,” he said laconically. “Like I’m plaiying a soldier in this picture, man. You might say it’s a change from this Western thing I'm doing, right? Likes Sport Cars “You know, when I first came out here I’d never ridden a horse. But I tackled my role of Josh Randall in the series like it was 'Hamlet on Broadway. Spent four or five hours a day learning tp ride. iEven studied how to saddle . and unsaddle soy horse.” jt Th* Jrtond, '■ diffident actor ■ abrupw changed the subject to I, his hdSpy—sports car racing. h “Thjq* the way to live,” he said. you’re out there on t the tracer you get rid of all your frustrations. It’s away to express * yourself. ■« 4 “Last week I broke the track ■ record in a four-lap race. Only thing wrong is half way through the race my brakes went out on me, and things got pretty exciting . for a while.” Perfers Stage ' McQueen will share billing with * Sinatra and Peter Lawford in "Never So Few,” playing a role originally scheduled for Sammy Davis Jr. ... The film won't interfere with his CBS-TV series, however.

Power Steering WASHINGTON (UPD—The air-' craft industry has developed an electronic power steering system for supersonic fighter-bombers that makes takeoffs and landings at speeds of 200 miles an hour as easy as steering the family automobile. Planes, official publication of the Aircraft Industries Association, says conventional mechanical steering systems were too slow to cope with the high speed of the latest aircraft. A half-second delay in responding to the pilot’s signal could send the jet plunging off the runway. 7 Not even for the highest principles has anyone the rfg'it to sacrifice others than himself. The wages of inefficiency are hard work, poor pay, sharp criticism, and the first one to be iaid 'off."' ■ ' How different the world would be if we could forget, our troubles >es easily as we fArget our blessings.
