New Season of Film Monsters

This fact Is obvious. Holly

profound information on the
eerie trend, few qualify any
better than Richard Carlson,

Carlson. "Imaginations are
running wild and every one is
having a ball. 1t looks like
sure-f1re stuff, too. All you
have to do is look at the

It's Cost-Cutting Time
NSponsors and Broudcusters Pare
Budgets With Repeot Films, Music
By Harry Macarthur

The summer look already is
being seen here ana there on
televiSion. The broadcasterS
and sponsors, as you know, are
convinced that the Nation, in
a body. moves out Of doors on
Memorial Day and does not re-
turn to the living room until
the day after Labor Day.
They do not quit telecasting
and go dark" in the summer,
though. There Is too much
danger that some rival may
sneak in. find somebody at
home and steal q customer.
Instead of suspending opera
lions, the sponsors just try to
make it as easy as possible on
themselves.
II some sponsors do leave, of
course, the TV broadcasters are
stuck with time to fill. They
can't stop, or you might for
get that that channel is there.
The brodcasters also like to
make it easy on themselves, so

Sd Sound Is Here to Stay,
Adding Realism to Screen
BY Wayne Oliver

and seven sound tracks are
used.
All Sd Aims that are
viewed through special glasses
have Stereophonic sound
which, like that for Cinerama,
is on a magnetic tape sep
arate from the film.
Twentieth Century-Fox has
developed a system for putting
four sound tracks on conven-
tional film for providing
stereophonic sound for its
CinemaScope. This process,
like Cinerama. creates the IL
fusion of depth and reality
through the wide, curving
screen.
BY narrowing the sprocket
holes in the film, Fox has
manager to squeeze two sound
tracks on each edge of the
film. Spyros P. Skouras, pres
ident, says this would enable
the theater to continue to use
a standard protector, with
slight notifications, without a
separate unit for the sound.
The theater still would have
to install additional speakers,

NEW YORK
Whether movies eventually
swing all the way to three
dimension or wide screen
processes or not, Sd sound
is here to stay.
That seems to be the con-
sensus among officials of both
producing and theater firms
who report enthusiastic pub
lie reaction to directional
sound that follows the &C
ton on the screen instead of
coming from one central point
as in years past.
Like the new wide screen
and Sd film processes, direc-
tional sound reproduction isn't
new, but it is being offered to
the public for the first time
on a large scale with the Sd
and wide screen pictures.
Several Trocks
It is accomplished by use
Of several sound tracks, instead
Of the conventional single
track, and a series Of loud
speakers spaced at intervals
behind and at the side Of the
screen. AS the action shifts
on the screen. the sound is
shifted to another track and
another speaker so it seems to
follow.
When you see a racing car
enter the picture from the
right, for instance, you hear
it from that side of the screen
and the sound follows the car
as 1t crosses the screen and
goes off at the left.
1t Adds Reality
This alone adds greatly to
the feeling of reality that is
the prime purpose of both the
3D. films viewed through spe-
cial glasses and the wide
screen types that do not re-
Quire glasses.
Stereophonic sound, as di-
regional sound is usually re-
ferred to in the industry, was
used with particularly striking
effect by Cinerama, first of the
new movie techniques to hit
the public. The panoramic,
curving screen has II speakers
spaced behind and to the sides,

Draper Sees Possible Ending
OF Aid to Europe in 2-3 Years

The man who has been CO.
ordinating American spending
abroad for the last year sees a
possibility of eliminating eco
nomic assistance to Europe in
the next two or three years. But
there are several "ifs," some of
them imponderable at this time.
Ambassador William H. Dra-
per, United States Special Rep
resentative in Europe, bases his
opinion on the future threat of
war and European adoption of
new economic policies. His views
were given in an exclusive copy
righted interview with u. S. News
and World Report published to-
DAY.
Mr.. Draper, asked how much
longer aid to Europe will be re-
quired, replied:
Speaking as an individual
American citizen, I would say
this: The United States will
have to assess the threat grow
ing out of the cold war; from
year to year and decide g.
whether it can achieve the best
defense by assisting it's friends
to arm or by concentrating on it's
own forces. It would seem
to me that over the next two or
three years it elimination of
economic add would be not only
perfectly feasible but highly de-
sirable. European countries
should be encouraged to earn
their own way by our buying
more from them and by our en-
couraging private and. perhaps,
semi-governmental investments
in other parts of the world"
Express Optimism.
He was optimistic that present
and past barriers to American
investments could be overcome.

Walkers S Defense
Calls Him Victim Of
Political Vengeance

A Federal court jury yester-
day heard Clovis D. Walker, for
mer head of the Department of
Agriculture Cotton Branch de-
scribed as the victim of political
vengeance and distorted news
stories.
Walker, so, was indicted last
September on count of con-
spring to give advance informa-
ton on Government Stockpiling
of long staple cotton to Loufty
Mansour, a broker in Alexandria,
Egypt.
Mansour was named as a de-
fendant with Walker, but he has
not been arrested. It is believed
he returned to Egypt.
A third man. Dyke Cullum, of
Germantown, Md. a commodi-
ties speculator and former friend
of ex-Democratic Senator Thom-
as of Oklahoma, was mentioned
in the true bill as a Cocoon
spirator" but not as a defendant.
"Inside Information"
The prosecution charges Walk
er's inside information, passed
to ManSour through Cullum,
enabled the Egyptian to consum-
mate deals totaling $37 million.
Walkers lawyer, William E.
Leahy, termed him faithful
public servant"
He told the jury of seven men
and five women on the opening
day of the trial that Walker
was open and above board in all
his deals while head of the cot
ton branch.
He said the $11,88O a year
agency chief saved the United
States 100000 on a series of long
staple cotton transactions with
ManSour in 1851.
Different View.
Prosecutor Vincent P. Russo,
SAID Walker and ManSour were
"close friends" who visited each
other daily, wrote each other
letters using the salutation
Brother" entertained each
other and swapped gifts.
Prosecutor Russo said he in
tends to prove that Mansour, on
two occasions in February, 1851,
came out of Walkers Office with
successful bids.
Each time, he declared. Man
sour went in with contracts filled
in completely except for the
blanks denoting his selling price.

Nam Leader Defends
Industy's Motives
In Aiding Education
By the Associafed Press

PHILADELPHIA, April IA
The president Of the National
Association of Manufacturers
said today the NAM and indi-
vidual industry leaders have
been subjected to unfair at
tacks questioning their motives
in expressing interest in edu-
cation and better financial sup
port of schools.
President Charles r. Sigh,
jr.. told some 200 educators and
industrialists attending an ed
ucation-industry conference here
that the MANS interest in edu-
cation is the same as that of any
good citizen.
I'VE ask for no regimentation
or restriction in the search for
truth" he said. 1--WE maintain
that the business of education is
the most important business in
America and that we have
rightful interest in its operation"
Mr.. Sigh said the industrial
group has formed a subcom-
mittee, composed of educators
and induStrialists, whose task it
will be to "intelligently encour-
age" members to give more eff
fective support to education.
Business must share with edu-
Gators the responsibility for
solving the problems of educa-
ton. MIR. Sigh contended,
whether they are financial, spirit
ual or theological.
The conference, a one-day ses-
sion of panel discussions devoted
to induStry'S part in education,
is sponsored jointly by the NAM,

Commerce. the Pennsylvania AS
sociation of Colleges and Uni
versities and the Pennsylvania

Backers Of Tax Cut
See Good Chance 10
Force Vote on Bill

House advocates OF an income
tax cutback July / believed to-
day that Ways and Means Chair
man Reed stands a good chance
of getting the necessary 21S
signatures within two weeks to
force a vote on the question.
The New York Republican is
known to feel that the risk he
took in waiting until after Easter
to press for a real showdown will
pay off.
G. o. P. congressional leaders
in general have said the budget
for the first year starting July
must be balanced before there
can be tax reduction. Mr.. Reed
was rebuffed repeatedly when
he asked the Rules Committee
earlier this year to report out
his bill for an II per cent an
nual reduction in personal in
come tax rates beginning July
l instead of December 81.
Growing Impatience Seen.
When the House reconvened
yesterday after an extended
Easter recess. he filed a petit
tion to discharge that commit
tee Of his bill. He repeatedly is
banking on signs that House
members. back home during the
last 10 days. learned that a lot
of their constituents want tax
relief now.
Mr.. Reed. according to some
OF his colleagues, also timed his
petition to coincide with other
developments. One of these
according to supporters of the
Reed bill, is growing impatience
on the part of Democratic House
members waiting for action on
budget and tax legislation.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Reed
expects many Democrats to sign
his petition. Names of signers
will not be officially disclosed
unless and until the 218 mini
mum is obtained to bring the
bill to a floor vote.
Appropriations Bills Due.
In another bit of timing, Mr.
Reed invited members to sign
while the first regular depart
mental appropriations bills are
due to come up in the House.
The Appropriations Committee
plans to report out the Interior
Department bill perhaps today
or tomorrow and House leaders
hope to have a final vote by
Saturday.
This bill and a parade of other
budget measures will reach the
House floor during the next four
weeks. They are expected TO con-
tain substantial slashes not only
by Eisenhower administration
budget makers but by the COM
mittee itself. Mr.. Reed has indi-
Gated that any evidence of major
economies will help to win addi-
tional support for his tax cut
back move.
Still another advantage re-
portedly sought by Mr.. Reed in
the timing of his petition is the
still fresh memory of March Is
Federal income tax payments
and the current April headlines
for many State income taxes.
