GREGORY PECK
 IN YELLOW SKY
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Pairing Gregory Peck and Anne Baxter for the first time on the screen, and presenting Richard Widmark in another role calculated to advance his standing as Holly woods most provocative new star, Yellow Sky" opens three-day run tonight at the 20th Century Theatre.
 The film is a tense and gripping story of elemental emotions played out against a rugged outdoor set ting as primitive as life itself. It unfolds the story of seven desperate outlaws who, forced to take refuge in a ghost town, stumble across a treasure horde of gold and a pretty girl whom they each mark as their personal prize. Tension mounts as Gregory Peck finds himself matched against Widlnark for the girl and the gold. Out of this situation arises a welter of antagonisms and hat reds involving all of the men and resulting in a climactic showdown between Peck and Widmark.

June is recognized as Dairy

be little need of accomplishing the

1t may be that some more empha-

Add the remaining milk and stir

Then for the person who skimps

Local Officers
To Get Final Say
On Racial Bias

WASHINGTON d: c., Dec. IT.
Racial segregation in public housing
projects will be left up to local
authorities, as long as the number
of units is apportioned fairly among
the races, a Public Housing Admi-
nistration spokesman said this week.
The PHA policy is expected to
be announced formally In a few
weeks as the multi billion dollar
public housing program approved
by Congress at its last session
gains momentum.
The question of racial segregation
in Federally subsidized low-cost
dwelling units was raised after the
recent announcement of a policy to
ban Federal mortgage insurance of
private housing on which discrimi-
natory race-religious covenants are
recorded In the future.
Basicaily, a PHA official said
there will be no change i'm the
present practice Of letting each
community decide whether to have
separate projects for racial groups
under the new public housing law.
But he said more explicit instruc-
tons will be issued to make sure
that the overall constructions pro-
gram in each community is properly
balanced to meet the needs of low
income families in each racial group.
