Completing Plans For
Premier OF The Robe
CONTINUED from nrst page)

kEOlNAAluCu AAOAAA Al - Ro6Gy
on all areas of the far-flung RO-
man Empire. The set for the Cru
cifixiOn, inspiratiOnal focal point !
for the whole drama, alone cost /
$4,000 for a scene that took only |
six pages in script, four days to
shoot and Is minutes in the final
film. Clasps of awe invOluntarily
escaped from visiting spectators
when they glimpsed the barren hill
with it's three crosses starkly sill
houetted against the 650-fOOt pam
Oramic background that shows Je-
rusalem and the surrounding hills
and valleys.
These same visitors could wan
der through the streets and Cata-
combs of first century Rome and
the by-ways of Jerusalem that were
extended through eight of the stu
dos 16 sound stages as well as
so per cent of the 30-acre backlOt.
These stages required twice the
candlepower to light than was us
ed in the actual city of Rome at
the time Of the story.
Whereas the Calvary set inspir-
ed a respectful and thoughtful 81
lence, the setting for a Roman
bath and adjacent tavern brought
out a vOlley of exclamation on its
mOdernity; the sets of the ancient
slave market, and the summer
palace of Tiberius on the Isle of
Capri drew exclamatiOns of praise
worthy comment, but it remained
for the Emperor Caligula's palace
in Rome to overwhelm them with
its magnif1cence.
659 Workers
So. massive and beautiful was
this set that even with the $50
people who were employed on it.,
it seemed no more crowded than
a summer resort in mid-January.
Two hundred twenty-five feet long
and ninety-fve feet wide, it was
a mass of marble walls, heavy
candelabra, columns and multi
colOred draperies. At the south
end was the throne area with the
throne an exact replica of the or
iginal in the famed Paris Louvre
Museum.
Everything about and including
"The Robe" has the handmade
look. Wardrobes for the thousands
in the cast were either of handwO-
ven fabrics dyed in ancient pro-
cesses or faded to irreprOducible
shades; sculptOrs, wOOdcarvers
jewelers., cOsmeticians worked Gag
erly to make the actors genuine
Roman citizens.
Behind the cameras to record
these efforts in the new screen
process was three time Academy
Award winner, Leon ShamrOy, not.
ed for his color photography.
Cinema scope makes possible the
feeling of participatiOn-gOal Of
the earliest Greek dramatists, anC
the new stereOphOnic sound, en-.
abling vibrations to come from the
exact point of origin, contributes
further to the life-like vitality Of
the film.
The sum total of the efforts ex-
pended for "The Robe" gives proof
that the motion picture is a cOlIab-
Orative art requiring the perfect
blending of the efforts and tai
ents of thousands.
Invitations have been extended
to many of the officials of the state
including his Excellency Governor
]. Caleb BOggs.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Aug. 5.-A
nationally known preacher has
resigned as pastor of a Memphis
church, saying he's ruined" be-
cause of an investigation Of his
past by members of the church.
The Rev. Leo L. Pysher. who
has left the Central Christian
Church, said he could explain
everything "but that would ac-
complish nothing and would in
jure some people"
ColumniSts, such national
magazines as Life, Woman's
Home Companion and American,
and newspapers gave Mr.. Pysher
boost to fame. BY every re-
port he was a remarkable man.
He held "six or seven" college
degrees; was a former physician
college football star, Air Force
lieutenant colonel shot down in
Italy in World War II. talented
violinist and concertmaster OF
the Royal Conservatory Orches-
ira at Brussels.
But when an investigation was
made. parts of the published
background didn't pan out. The
church board won't make its
report public until Friday.
However, both the Air Force
and the Army yesterday said
there's no record of a. Leo L.
Pysher serving in any capacity
In Omaha, Neb., Creighton
School of Medicine-where he
was quoted as saying he got his
doctors degree-said no Leo
Pysher attended classes there,

some of his degrees under an as

sumed name-one he took after
being adopted by a wealthy aunt
but resumed his true name
some years ago.
About those articles on his re-
markable career. he said:
MY career as outlined there
is absolutely correct, except it
may have made me seem nicer
than I am"
Mr.. Pysher said he resigned
several days ago because a
group in the church was SO
hampering to my duties as a
minister as to make me feel the
church was being torn apart.
i resigned because of this dis
Sension in the church and not
because of any investigation
conducted by some church mem

Military Spending To Be Held
AT 43Billion Dollar Level
BY JACK RELL

WASHINGTON IN - The Essen
hover administration tentatively
has decided to hold military spend
ing at the 43 billion dollar level
but Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) said today
the cut under former President
Truman's estimates "isn't
enough"
Taft, the Senate Republican
leader, confirmed that President
Eisenhower's announcement last
week Of an S1s billion dollar cut
back In appropriation requests to
Congress is based on continuing
the military program at its present
levels in the fiscal year beginning
July /.
This would lop of the 2l5 billion
increase in arms spending pro-
posed by Truman. Eisenhower has
contended, however, that his adj
ministration will get more out Of
its dollars and thus attain approx
mately the same combat strength.
Taft said he thinks q Defense
Department reorganization plan
now pending before Congress. and
proposed reductions in manpower
should yield some savings, but not
enough.
"What we need IS new military
advice-a resurvey which will fix
the wartime roles of the Army,
Navy and Air Force and tell as
what weapons we need and what
we should discard" he said.
with that kind Of survey we
ought to be able TO make some In
telligent savings In military spend

Taft said he thinks he Is ''mak.
chiefs Of staff be named to start
on this survey before their prede.
cessors retire this summer.
Pentagon officials disclosed yes.
terday that they plan to cut mill
tary manpower by about $4,000
If the Korean War ends but viii
trim only 10000 if the present
stalemate conflict continues.
These officials said total arms
spending could be cut about IA
billion by reductions in manppwer
and procurement Ct military hard
ware not needed Immediately.
Sc. Byrd (D-va) said that II
Eisenhoyer believes such cuts are
justified, Byrd thinks he can show
ia Defense DEPARTMENT where II
can save an additional 2h billion
without any slice into combat
strength.
For instance, he said the depart.
mcnt could save 500 million dollars
BY reducing It's present civilian
payroll and could cut q similar
amount Of proposed military public
works, such Is National Guard ar.
mor:es and land purchases.
Another Ia billion or more could
be saved BY limiting other activi.
ties to the present level, without
any reduction In arms purchases
or Ia uniformed manpower, be
said.
