HOLLYWOOD.
Greg and Greta Peck haven't
an enemy in Hollywood-except per-
haps the real estate agent who sold
them their new house.
Several months ago the price was
S129OO0. Greg, a shrewd bargainer
for houses as we'll as movie roles,
waited and then closed the deal
for $4,000.
The Pecks like to entertain. Their
dinner parties are rated tops among
the more solid people of Hollywood.
These parties probably will get even
better with the Pecks in larger
home.
It's hard to be a success in Holly
wood without making enemies. But
Greg and Greta seem to have sue
ceeded. Biggest reason is, they seem
to want nothing anyone else mas.
Their friends say they want only
what they can get by their own
efforts.
Strangely, even the stigma some
attach to Duel in the Sun" mas
had little effect on Gregs popular
ity. He makes it clear that he IS
an actor, first and last, and only an
actor. He worked in both Duel
and "The Yearling" at the same
time. In contrast to his "Lewd
Lewt the Brute" role in the former,
he was "a very sweet fellow" in
"The Yearling." And it was the
.veet role which won his nomina-
ton for an Academy Award.
He Lives to Act.
Outside his work and his family,
Greg has few interests. "What
more" asks Greg with Irish phil
osophy. "does sman need?"
There are some stars to whom
movies are just a means to an end
an easy way to finance their ap-
petites. But to Peck, acting is an
end in itself. He lives to act. he
has the self confidence OF man
who is doing a job he knows he can
do we'll.
Greg had a hard time making up
his mind to be an actor. Acting,
he once felt, was for sissies and girls.
He hates sissy stuff.

heavies are one e-dimensional. They
are merely a story device-an OBJ

lished in Hollywood as a top d.
rector and drew heavy wages fol
his chores. One OF his first efforts
was 1.-The Man from Hell's River
which had Wallace Beery and Rim
Tin-Tin as stars and Eva Novak
as leading lady
Next he handled the direction of

pie. Cummings whistled as he re-
called the cost Of that one-$27, 900.
The picture he begins shooting for
Columbia next week, however, will
rattle the cash box to the extent of
81 100000.
Subsequently, Cummings made
the first outdoor talkie, TN Old
Arizona" with Warner Baxter. He
gave Janet Gaynor her first big
chance in "The Johnstown Flood,
and steered Tyrone Power toward
success in Girls Dormitory." From
that one, Ty went straight into
''Lloyds OF London"-and fame. He
also handled five of the Shirley
Temple features when she was a
toddling box office sensation. Dur
ing the making OF my Gal SAL" he
spent hours of extra time showing
Victor Mature how to act In a
restrained, sincere manner.
Cummings admits that his ap-
preaching venture with Susan
Peters in a wheel-chair role is one
of the most exciting ever to come
his way. And he has no doubt
about its ultimate success. Sarah
Bernhardt did 1t, he points out
emphatically. So why not Susan
Peters, whose indomitable courage
and ability could be a parallel?

D'Ewarf Reviews
Funds Available for
State Reclamation

Montana projects of the Blu
reau of Reclamation have ex
cellent prospects for completion
despite cuts in the Interior de-
partment appropriation, Con-
gresham Wesley A. D'Ewart
reported this week.
D'Ewart called attention 10
the fact that stable reserves
are available to the bureau
from funds frozen last year by
the president. President Tru-
man limited the bureau of
construction expenditures Of
$13O,OOO,OOO in the current fis-
cal year, leaving an unused
balance of $97,596,517 for flu
ture use. The House of Repre-
sentatives has agreed to ap-
propriate an additional $780,
433,6OO for 1948.
The new appropriation plus
the frozen funds, which the
president can release at any
time, make a total of S146,030,-
1T available for the bureaus
construction work in fiscat
1948, D'EWart pointed out. This
is $170O0,OOO more than the
president permitted last year,
and about twelve million less
than the ceiling set for next
year.
The Savage unit of the Low
er Yellowstone Pumping pro-
ject is the only project the
bureau planned to complete
this year in Montana. Tbs
unit, which will irrigate 1900
acres near Sidney, will cost
$4,000. The bureau has $780,
COO in carryover funds for this
project and for advanced work
on tn e Lower Yellowstone
pumping units.
Some additional money viii

from the $9,611,60O appropria-
ton for the Missouri River ba :
sin. Added to $1O,049,053 in

sin. This is about two million
more than the 1916 appropria-
