port II.
It's reported that Senator Nicely,
Democrat, of West Virginia. who
voted for the committees top
bracket pay measure last week, said
at the time that he probably would
support the LANCER amendment.
Senators Ecton, LANCER and Hen
erickson had voted against the
p-bracket measure on the ground
it did not include pay boosts for
other Government employees.
Whether the move by Senator
LANCER will be successful remains
to be seen. The odds appear
against it, but groups such as the
AFL American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees are preparing
to give it their support. In fact, all
the AFL Federal worker unions,
including the postal groups. are
asking all their members to tele-
graph and write to their Senators
and Representatives urging pas
sage of a pay raise bill.
The employe groups are hoping
that, even If Senator Langer's
amendment fails, it will have the
effect Of forcing the Senate Civil
Service Committee to hold hear
ings as soon as possible on regular
pay raise legislation. AS disclosed
in this column yesterday, the
committee has its hearing dates
on various legislation all filled up
until May. Unless pay hearings
are started before then, the time
element would be enough to defeat
such legislation.
That's why employe groups are
basing 50 much hope on the effort
to amend the top-bracket bill
from the Senate floor. It's a
long shot hope, but at this stage
of the game pay raise advocates
are grasping at any possibility
that they can find.

HOUSE SIDE - Although a
House Appropriations subcommit-
tee has approved the top-bracket
pay bill, some wrangling over it
appears certain when it comes up
before the full House Civil Service
Committee.
Some subcommittee members
thought the salary increases were
too great, while others thought
they were too small. But both
sides decided to report the bill
out 50 that the full committee
can decide the issue.
The bills sponsors expressed
confidence today that. at the very
least, the subcommittee salary
raises proposed in the bill will be
upheld by the full committee.
And they say that there is a
chance that the full committee
will increase the amounts.
The subcommittee bill would
provide substantial pay increases
for the Governments top 239 ofh-
cials, although it is slightly less
liberal than the measure approved
last week by the Senate Civil
Service Committee. The subcom-
mittee, however. followed the Sen
ate groups lead in approving ret
roactive $3.50 pay boosts for the
District Governments employees.
In this regard, Representative
Miller. Democrat. Of California
holds out hope for District Gov
ernment employees getting their
raises.
Despite the defeat Of the Dis
trict sales tax measure. Mr.. Miller
says other ways can be found to
increase the Districts revenue.
I'VE mean to see to 1t that Dis
trict employees get the $3.50 pay
raises to which they are entitled" :"
Mr.. Miller declared.

She hastens to add that the
old argument of screen versus
stage acting is a waste of breath
in her opinion.
There are certain differences
in technique which stage ac-
tor coming to Hollywood must
learn" she remarks. But the
aim of all acting, whether on a
Hollywood sound stage or be-
hind the footlights is the same.
That is to give q convincing and
entertaining Characterization. "
She declared, for example,
that she couldn't easily conceive
of any Broadway actress giving
a more authentic performance
that Jane Wyrnan did as the deaf
mute girl in Johnny Belinda. -
And she rates Olivia de Havil-
lands performance in THE
Snake Pit" as tops anywhere.
New Workers who look down
their noses at Hollywood actors
usually can't see beyond the end
of their own noses" she en-
phatically declares. They >seem
amazade when fine actor like
Henry Fonda comes out of Hol-
lywood and turns in grand per-
formance in Mr.. Roberts I say
most Hollywood actors who take
ther craft seriously can hold
their own in any Broadway unit.
81 would like to see Bing
Crosby or Bob Hope do a New
York show. l would make a bet
that it would be big hit, be-
cause they are both great show
men,"
Miss Penman believes that
motion picture actors should
overcome their feeling of inferi-
ority in relation to their stage
colleagues.
Every other actor on Broad
way is looking forward to free
trip to Hollywood" she asserts.
"They may belittle Hollywood,
but most of them would give
their shirts for studio con-
tract"
The motion picture actor has
the greatest audience the world
has ever known, she points out.
A stage performer could not
hope to play to 6O,000,O00 people
in three lifetimes.
Miss Penman cites a minor
difference in acting behind the
f o til g hts and before the
camera.
"If you muff line in a play
you let t go and hope not too
many people will notice the mis-
take" she says, For picture
you do it again and again until
it is Just right.
"The fluffs that pass in the
night on Broadway would never
get by in Hollywood"
