WASHINGTON Rl-ThlS is the
season when the picture turns
grim and things are in a hell of
a fix.
1t is the time when each of the
armed forces tells how good it is.
And it is, perchance, the time
of budget-making. 1t happens every
year, in peace and war, in every
administration.
Some years there are mysterious
rumors of foreign submarines
cruising off American shores. 9th
err years there are vapor trails
from highflying, unseen, unknown
aircraft above the northern de-
Tense perimeter. And some years
people just sit down and add up
all the military and diplomatic
perplexities and intelligence esti-
mates and come up with broad
and brooding and black picture.
Only Thursday a group of con-
gressional leaders emerged from
a White House session with mill
tary, intelligence and national Sc
curity council officials-speaking
graphically but apprehensively of
the briefing they had. 1t was moth
ing new, they said-the picture has
been grim for a long time.
The congressional leaders then
went to the Capitol where Con-
gress is going to work on the
budget.
Across the Potomac at the Pen
tagon the armed forces seemed
to hear no unusually loud alarms
from around the world but maybe
that is just because they are used
to the grimness of the times.
Individually, the three services
wanted folks to know how each of

rates, either IN June when they
may be dropped, or at least at the
end of the year, as the law now
states.
Talk of threatening world con-
ditions could dash these hopes.
On the production front, how
ever, the picture is different. Indus
try is confident it can produce all
the military goods prolonged pro-
gram may cali for, and still shield
consumers from any civilian good
shortages.
The defense spending. II II con-
tinues at high rate for five more
years, win be an important prop to
the heavy industries and TO metal
and transportation companies.
This prop would at least slow
down the sag in the economy which
a majority Of businessmen seem
to expect. perhaps the next year.
Deflationary signs have been
multiplying Of late Chief is the
slump in commodity prices around
the world-painfullY at the farm
level here. Continuing high defense
activity could assure some support
for prices by sustaining military
demand for such things as metals,
oil. ruhber--and a big army eats
lots Of food.
But the grim weird picture may
have been trotted out at this time
to dsmpen congressional ardor for
cutting military plans and voting
tax relief.

Personality Check Is Vital
To Job Hunter Who Is Oven Al
By ApELAlnE kERR

NEW YORK Rl-Anybody over
40 looking for job had better
take stock of himself to make sure
he is not his own biggest STUN
bling block
Personality traits, such as talk
Ing too much and a Lick of adj
aptability, may be far greater
handlcapS than any prejudice
against the older worker.
That is the concensus of 80 pri-
vate employment agencies of New
York City, as revealed in an ex-
haustlye survey of the job-hunting
problems and performance of men
and women over 30.
The survey was made by the
New York State Joint Legislative
Committee on Problems of the
Aging as part of many years eff
fort to aid the 4O-plus jobseeker in
his quest for work. The committee
Is headed by State Sen. Thomas
Desmond.
again and again the jobseeker
over 40 spoils his own chances of
getting job" said Sen. Desmond.
Too often this is the picture he
presents:
He talks too much. He inter-
Fupts the man who is consider
ing him. He fidgets or drums on
ways and in his opinions and lacks
limberness to adapt himself to new
conditions.
in short, he shows that he is
giving no thought to the boss's
needs and has no interest in them.
He is interested only in his own.
All things considered, he presents
a personality he would not hire
hlmself-if the tables were re-
versed. OF course he is not aware
of what he is doing. But neverthe-
less, in just these things, he often
blocks his own progress"
Sen. Desmond said the survey in
Dictated that women are a bigger
problem than men in 40-plu job
placements - largely because of
their own attitudes.
There is the woman who makes
martyr Of herself because she
has to take job at her age and
will gladly take anything" he said.
There is the average flirt who
goes job-hunting wearing too much
makeup and too elaborate clothes.
There is the one who says too
often I've never done that before
and objects TO accommodating an
employer in such small things as
switchboard relief, office reception
or information service.
Then there is the applicant who
feels that the way she has been
taught to do a job is the only way.
lnssead Of trying 10 fit herself to
the ioS, she tries to reorganize it
t. meet her standards. Finally
tfere is the applicant who resents
Gvag 2ny information about her
saf because she thinks the inter.
viewer is prying INTO her personal
scicirs.'
The agencies urged that com.
munit.es do more to aid the older
worker In his job quest-including
helping him 10 see himself as he
is and correct the faults that block
his progress. Among their sugges-
tons were public counseling cen
tiers, training and retraining CEN
ters and 4O-pluS clubs.

NEW YORK.
One of the healthieSt things
about the theater is that each
new season there are several
acting groups who make
enough fuss and achieve
enough success to compel
established Broadway pro-
ducers and playwright to look
to their laurels.
Several such examples are
shaping up now in this usually
quiet part of the summer, as
a prelude to the first Broad
way drama and musical pre-
mieres in September.
Off-Broadway groups, some
in Greenwich Village and some
in cities across country, are
joining forces in productions
ambitiously planned to be hits
on Broadway and elsewhere In
the fall.

these groups is now under

agreement between theater
authorities in four cities: New
York, Dallas, Cleveland and
San Francisco. Later it Is
planned to bring other cities
into the circuit. Theater
groups in Miami, Kansas City,
Boston and elsewhere-all pro-
fessional-are in on discus
sions of this plan to exchange
players between cities.
Leading these groups plan
ming to use Broadway as a
showcase for successful stage
productions in their home
towns and then troupe them
to other theaters are two di-
rectors. They are Jose Quin-
tero. producer of successful
plays in the off-Broadway Cir
cle-in-the-Square Theater for
the last two seasons, and Mar
60 Jones, founder and direc-
tor OF famed Theater SO in
Dallas, Tex.
Quintero, a native of Pam
anna, directed one of the New
York theater's top hits. "The
Grass Harp" The humorous
fantasy by Truman Capote
was a sudden failure when first
produced on Broadway.
A few weeks ago, Quintero
restaged it at the Circle-in-
the Square. Now this fanciful
story Of small-town life is
drawing some of the audiences
that spurned it when it was
first performed in a Times
Square Broadway playhouse.
A similar thing happened
after Tennessee Williams
play, Summer and Smoke"
ran into a blind alley on
Broadway. It profted for a
year when Quintero took it
40 blocks downtown to the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Style Helpful
I'm the arena theaters,
where the audience sits on
four sides of the stage" Quin-
tero said, "a certain vitality
is brought TO plays which get
lost in proscenium theaters.
Audiences are fascinated
by every chance they get to
see backStage actions and all
this Is revealed to them, along
with the play itself, in the
arena theaterS. The real con-
1licts Of plots and PERSONAL
tiles in a play are things very
personal. They need the in
timacy that an arena theater
brings, much as If the audi
ence was viewing the action on
stage through . microscope"
Quintero In New York, Miss
Jones in Dallas and theater
leaders In other cities plan to
exchange their acting groups.
For instance, the performers
now playing "T'he Grass Harp
in New York will move on to
Cleveland, San Francisco and
elsewhere. They will carry
only their costumes. The seen
cry will be furnished by the
arena theaters in each town.
These new groups are dis
covering in off-Broadway the
aters and in similar play
houses across country that
they do not need the big bank
rolls Of Broadway and Holly
wood producers to present en-
tertainment that finds appre-
ciative audiences.

Heroines in the weeks new
movies reverted to an unfatl-
ingly piquant type, one that
Hollywood has been avoiding
of late.
This would be the emergent
woman, or, to put 1t less
stuff1ly, the junior miss COM
ing to seniority.
This is a good girl for play
. wrights, novelists and movie
script writer's to play around
with. If these treat her with
sympathy and intelligence,
they may count on her natural
fascination to attract and hold
widespread attention. one OF
the basic concerns Of all
writer's, including political
columnists.
She Must Be ReoI
BY the same token Zone OF
the most useful phrases ever
coined), the dramatist who
mistreats this dew drenched
female exposes himself to the
pitiless scorn of his fellows.
This does not mean that the
writer cannot picture girls
growing up in any save the
most idyllic terms. There Is
no need to simper over her
type. All that is required is
that she, as BELTS everybody's
dream girl, shall be made
recognizably real as a human
being.
The play, picture or book
maker who can do this Is a
popular man in the COM
nunity; possibly the most
popular man in the COM
munity at any given time.
Such q man, for instance,
Is Paul Calico, who wrote the
original story for the Aim,
"Lili," the foreign-Sounding
production starring Leslie
Caron which was made by that
old domestic institution.
Metro GoIdwyn-Mayer. CALI
co, a reconverted sportswriter,

the same time, she is q tower
ing symbol of humanity'S lost
innocence. Lili, in Gallico'S
hands, is the light Of morning
making the world radiant once
more.
Story q Delight
Lili is precious in the good,
old-fashioned meaning Of the
word. So, happily, Is the fllm
that has been made Of her
adventure by the sensitive di-
rection of Charles Walters and
the sparkling acting Of Miss
Caron, Mel Ferrer, Jean Pierre

''Lili" is a little movie. It Is
not spectacular and it did not

its characters are so-called

that, like the best of foreign

who look unfailingly real. What
happens to them is important.
