Lancaster. Is
Apache" Star,
.CO-Producer.

The long-awaited initial produc.
ton Of the newly-formed Hecht-
Lancaster organization, "Apache, -
starring Burt Lancaster and Jean
Jeters under the production aegis
of Harold Hecht, will open its pre-
miere engagement locally on
Thursday at the Strand Theatre.
The saga Of NASSAU, fiercest and
most savage warrior of the Apache
tribe, who waged single-handed
bloody war against the whole Unit
ed States Army, is one of the most
colorful authentic chapters in the
story of the early West.
Lancaster is Massai and Jean
Peters is Nalinle, the lovely Indian
girl whose passionate devotion
turned Massai at last to the tasks
Of peace. The supporting cast is
headed by John McIntire, Charles
Buchinsky, John Dehner, Paul
Guilfoyle, Walter Sande, Morris
Ankrum and Monte Blue. Apache"
was filmed in color by Technicolor
under the direction of Robert AID
rich from the screen adaptation by
James r. Webb of the best-selling
novel by Paul /. Wellman.
"Apache" hews close to the line
Of history in telling the incredible
but entirely authentic story of Mas
sal, whose bravery is one of the
brightest legends of the Apache In
dians. In the process, it pulls no
punches, and put the blame for
MasSai's ill-fated war squarely
where it belongs, on handful of
greedy white men whose desire
for personal gain resulted in the
imposition of unfair treaties on the
Indians.
An outdoor picture, "Apache''
was filmed almost in its entirety on
location. There were nineteen loca-
ton sites in all, to each of which
was transported the whole troupe,
consisting of 110 actors and tech
nicians. Among these sites were
such striking locales as Burro
Flats, Iverson's Ranch, Solemint
Canyon, Vasquez Rocks and
Agoura Ranch.

Self Defense Is
Claimed In Trial
For April Staying

PENSACOLA R-The defense
attempted to prove today that Al
Wagner, owner of the Cavalcade
of Amusements, was killed in self
defense by a painter employed by
the carnival.
William O. Burke, 48, is being
tried for second degree murder in
the pistol Staying April II.
Before resting its case yester-
day, the state tried to discredit a
statement made by Burke shortly
after the shooting in which he said
he fired only after Wagner ''took
dead aim" at him.
Burke said in the statement that
when he went to see Wagner to
get pay check, Wagner came out
of his trailer and fired several
shots in Burke's direction. Burke
said he then started firing his rs
automatic into the ground and
when Wagner aimed directly at
him he shot him once.
Sheriff's investigator Hamp Can
dy testified that he found five bull
let holes in the side of Wagner'S
trailer and that the showman's 80
caliber revolver had been fired
only once, had misfired once, and
still had four bullets in it.
Mrs. Harriet Wagner, Wagner's
widow, said that when she ran up
after the shooting Burke told her
"You stay away from me or you'll
get it, too"
Property of the show, which had
used Mobile, Ala, as its winter
quarters, was auctioned by the
government there in August for
slightly more than $4,000 to sat
isfy a federal tax lien for $263, ,374.

Soviet Returns US. Protest
On Detention OF Embassy Wives

MOSCOW R-The Soviet Union
today returned US. note pro
testing against what the United
States called the forcible detention
of the wives of two American EN-.
bassy officials.
The us. Embassy-in Moscow
takes an extremely grave view oi
the incident, feeling that it strikes
at the basic issue Of the personal
safety of American diplomatic per-
sonnel in Russia.
(In Washington, the State De-
partment said the women were
held by Russian secret police for
approximately an hour and a hall
Monday Gin violation of generally
accepted diplomatic practice that
prohibits the arrest or detention
Of persons having recognized dip
lomatic status" !"
Gus. officials said the Soviet
government countered the US. pro-
test by accusing one of the wives,
Mrs. Earl e. Sommerlatte, OF
.'hooliganism"--a Soviet term for
rowdy behavior-and demanding
her recall by the United States.
Mrs. Sommerlatte is the wife OF
the embassy's second secretary.
(The other woman involved in
the incident was identified as the
wife Of Marine 1t. Col. Houston
Stiff, assistant naval attache at the
embassy
washington officials said the
women became alarmed during
their detention and scuffle en-
sued. One Of the women slapped
one Of the policemen. This appar-
emily was the basis of the hooligan-
ism charge against Mrs. Sommer-
latte.
us. Ambassador Charles E..
Bohlen heard about the incident
Monday when he returned from
lunch. He Immediately notified the
State Department in Washington
and sent Frank Siscoe, first Sec
retary OF the embassy, to the So
Wet Foreign Office to make an
oral protest to the acting head o t
the American section.
After receiving authority from
Washington, Bohlen sent a first
person note to Soviet Foreign
Minister v. M. Molotov.
Late yesterday, the Soviet For
eign Office summoned US. Minis
ter Walter Walmsley. When he ap-
pered at the office, the head of
the protocol section, M. Kisilev,
read him a statement setting forth
the Soviet position on the case.
Walmsley termed the statemen
q fabrication and refused to ac-
cept a written copy of the oral
statement in which the Soviet gov
ernment said Mrs. Sommerlatte
was "no longer desirable" in the
Soviet Union.

Cost Differential
Studies To Be
Completed Soon

WASHINGTON, GA member
Of a special committee studying
living cost defferentials in us.
territories and possessions said
Saturday the committees report
may be completed in the next few
weeks.
DR., James H. Shoemaker, Hon
olulu economist and vice presi-
dent Of the Bank of Hawaii, re
turned Saturday from a series of
hearings in Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands.
Shoemaker is member of a
four-man committee, headed by
Sidney de la Rue of the State De
partment which was appointed by
the Civil Service Commission to
make the annual review Of living
cost differentials required by law.
Federal workers in the territor-
les and possessions are now given
premium pay because of living
cost differentials outside Of the
continental United Safes. Civil
Service law now requires annual
review Of the living cost differen-
tials between off shore areas and
the city Of Washington.
Shoemaker said there are Job
vious price differentials' between
territories. But, he said, there is
difference between comparison
Of prices, item BY item, and COM
par;Son of living costs.
Determination Of living costs,
he said, involves complex compu-
tations, giving consideration to the
pc etn-2ae I'm .o-al income ex-
pended by the peoples in a given
area for particular items.
