'Unusual Job Interview At Her 'Inconvenience'

Hollywood News

By PHIL NEWSOM Sourly surveying Britain's boom-and-bust economy and the speculative inroads against the British pound, the respected Times of London last March 22 commented: "The pound could be strong if the British people had the ears to hear, the eyes to see, and the will to recover their native sense and energy. They have done it time and again in wars; why can they not do it just once in peace?” The Times then found 26 reasons for Britain’s economic ills and for weakness of the pound, which along with the dollar is the basis for exchange of most of the world currencies. Taking aim at successive Conservative and Labor governments, it declared that "for 20 years leadership has been lacking; soft words have been substituted for hard facts; exhortation has never been followed by deeds; rights have come before responsibilities; the national philosophy has been all take and no give” In 20 months in office, as Britons happily spent themselves toward national bankruptcy, Prime Minister Harold Wilson had in fact tried both cajolery and persuasion. This week, as Wilson temporarily abandoned domestic ills to launch an abortive Veitnamese peaoe mission to Moscow, the pound sank again under new speculative attack. And on Wednesday, back at home, Wilson acted to give the country the leadership the Times had demanded.

He announced a six-months wage freeze, the first in British history, also froze prices and with new taxes and other measures acted to take more than $1 billion dollars out of the overheated economy. The drastic deflationary measures announced by Wilson had one immediate desired effect. The pound strengthened. For Wilson, the leader of a Labor government, it was a bitter pill for it meant the sacrifice of labor’s own plans for extension of social welfare, the British version of the "Great Society.” It also meant certain trouble within his own party. Early this month, Wilson’s minister of technology, Frank Cousins, quit the cabinet in protest against the government’s policy on wage controls. Cousins, leader of the Transport and General Workers Union, Britain’s largest, declared the restrictive policies had no bearing on Britain’s economic ills. There also was the question whether Wilson, having announced the wage-price freezes, had the legal power to enforce them. Many believed he did not. And further there was the question whether Wilson really was reaching to the root of British ills. Over-simplified, these have been ascribed to a reluctance to Change, both among British industry and labor and to a condition of almost total employment wherein industry fails to make use of technological advances and labor feels free to press irresponsible demands.

By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD UPI — Shades | of Prince Michael Romanoff! The son of King Farouk has invaded Hollywood with plans to become a movie producer | which, after all, Is more im-1 pressive than opening a saloon and restaurant. Jon Farouk, who claims to be the son of the late and deposed King of Egypt, says he will produce a series of Disney-like movies because “I believe in the All-America, clean cut, wholesome image that Disney pictures portray.” There are cynics who hint that Farouk’s credentials are suspect. The very thought outrages the 25-year-old Farouk who explains his heritage thusly: “I am the son of King Farouk and Mary Cohen. It was a legitimate marriage but I am not accepted by the rest of the family because my mother was Jewish.” The rest of the family, according to Farouk, is a 15-year-old half-brother in school in England and three half-sisters. Farouk says he is on friendly terms with his relatives but they do not recognize him as a full-fledged member of the clan. If he is less than a blood brother to the royal Egyptian family Farouk is at least on excellent terms with Jordan. “I am a member of the Arabic delegation to Jordan,” he claimed. "And King Hussein has offered me a lieutenant colonelcy in the Jordanian army. But I refused it. His country is in need of qualified leaders, but I don’t think I qualify.” Farouk said his headquarters are in New York City, but that his Farouk Corporation will center in Hollywood where he plans to open a recording company, a music publishing company, an export-import company and his own airline.
