By JAMES BACON

HOLLYWOOD R-William Hol-
den, the movies favorite average
guy, and Audrey Hepburn, its ia
vorite princess, won Hollywood s
top acting Oscars last night.
The movie from Here to Eter-
nifty" tying the an-time record OF
eight awards, was named the best
picture of 1858 at the 26th annual
Academy Awards presentation. :,
Holden, who played a semi-heel
in the movie "Stalag IT." was
both happy and upset about his
first Oscar. He was happy, OF
course, for winning the top honor
but said he was livery upset" for
having to hurry his acceptance
speech due to the television time
commitments.
"They told me to say Thank
you and get off," he said. Il
wanted to give credit to Billy
Wilder (the director of 'Stalag I'D
for having so much faith in me.
| think they could have held off
the closing commercial just a lit
tie longer so that everyone could
know how much Wilder was re-
sponSible."
Holden, a youthful IS, said he
twas pretty leery" before the pre-
sentation of the award.
81 thought Burt Lancaster would
get it."
He admitted that his role in
"Stalag" was one that he wasn't
particularly thrilled with during
the making of the picture.
But l see the light now. In
fact, I'm holding it," he said, rails
ing his golden Oscar.
Miss Hepburn, in stage makeup
for her Broadway role of a water
nymph in the play "Ondine,," re-
ceived her award in the New York
portion of the show. Her first NOV
lie starring role was that of a prin-
cess on the loose in "Roman Holt
day"
Visibly touched, the 24-year-old
ex-ballerina said, Il am truly,
truly grateful. She said it like she
really meant it.
'It's too much" she said. ats
like being given something to wear
that you have to grow into. Some
thing to work toward"
Someone asked: What next?

the excited actress replied, Smil-

eyes, to be a really good one. |"
So she would be free in time for
the announcement, the manage
ment of her stage play had ad-
vanced curtain time 10 minutes
and cut the intermiSsion. In cos
tune, she hurried to the NBC Cen

French endorsement of edo now
would work against Russian &C.
ceptance of any proposals for set
ting the French Communist war
in Indochina. American and
French government leaders con-
tend privately it would not work
this way.
At the end of the Berlin confer
ence of foreign ministers Ameri-
can leaders were convinced that
the Laniel government would get
EDO into parliamentary debate in
March or early April. But the feel
ing here now is that the best that
can be hoped for is that Premier
Laniel may be able to announce
by April 10 definite plans for be-
ginning debate in early May -
about two weeks after the Geneva
talks start.
Diplomats who think that Rus
sia's primary motive in setting
up the Geneva meeting was to
stall off EDO believe that the So
viets will do all they can to stretch
out the Geneva talks as a means
of prolonging French hopes for an
Indochina settlement.

Setback In
EDCHopes
BY JOHN N. HIcHToWER

WASHINGTON The United
States has suffered a new setback
in its hopes for early French action
to create a European Defense
Community as the eapstone Of
Western defenSes in Europe.
French parliamentary debate
will begin at least a month later
than American officials had ex-
pected following the conclusion Of
the Berlin Big Four conference
last month. 1t will not get under
way until after the April rs open
ing of the Geneva conference on
Asian problems-a fact which may
cost far more time in the long
run.
Changes in the Bonn constitu-
ton were approved after week
of wrangling in which initial
French opposition was overcome.
The Big Three high commission
ers approved constitutional
changes to permit West Germany
to raise SOC, 000-man army, while
barring actual CONSUMPTION until
EDO is ratified by all six nations.
So far, only the Netherlands and
Belgium have completed ratifica-
ton.
The West German parliament
has also approved ratification, but
signature was withheld by Presi-
dent Theodor Heuss pending re-
quired approval of the constitu-
tional changes by the occupying
powers.
One facet about the continuing
delays on edo which is particu-
larly worrisome to Washington Of
ficials is that a foreign aid ap-
preparations bill to include funds
for European arms aid goes to
Congress early next month. Unless
there is clear evidence Of prog
ress on EDO, officials fear that
many congressman will balk at
voting any substantial additional
sums.
Some French officials argue that
