HOLLYWOOD sooner or later gets
around to providing something
for almost any special taste. In

has contrived an entertainment

surrounded by conditioned air,
Cannily feeling that this may
be too specialized an audience

Tony Curtis and Piper Laurie in
the leading roles. This IS a move
designed to lure the bobby-sox
set. which doesn't care whether
Tony wooes Piper on wheels or
on a ferris wheel, so long as
he's in there pitching.
All examples of rolling stock
on display in Johnny DARK"
NAV be slick sports jobs, but the
plot of Franklin Coen's original
screenplay is strictly a stock
model. It has Curtis impersonat-
ing a Young engineer in the en-
ploy of a staid automotive con-
Germ run by Sidney Blackmer.
He, Curtis that is, gets ms
chance of a lifetime to build the
sports car which will top any
thing yet contrived including
Ferraris. Turns out, though,
that Boss Blackmer just wants
this as ammunition in a battle
for control, like that New York
Central affair, and Curtis has
to steal his own sports car TO
get it raced. =,
The whole affair winds up with
Curtis and his ex-chum Oon

mammoth road race from Can

know from reel one who's going
to win this one, you'd better turn

The principal establishment OF

In making 1.-THE Queen in

film men were keenly aware Of
what they were up to-produc-
ing a documentary that would
show their country to the world
through the eyes Of a Queen.
They covered 1t all, it's gleam-

fruit and grain lands; its work
and its play; its museums and
its memorials; its people Of all
ages; and above all, its proud,
excited and loyal heart.

Such q documentary film, of
course. is infinitely more than a
travelogue. 1t abounds in all the

she has presented her bouquet

Prince Phillips primly careful
reading of the gospel lesson for
the day; the shy, proud grin of
a jockey who rides a stakes
winner under the royal eyes, etc.
The Queen in Australia" is a
contagiously happy film which,
in the case of documentaries
dealing with LIES realities, is
rather rare thing these days.
1t is being shown, incidentally,
with 1.-THE Final Test" an ex-
tremely funny satireal feature

Show AT Strand

Showing at the Strand Theatre
starting tomorrow is "The uoax-
ters," described as 81 minutes of
shock treatment. This M-G-M doc.
umentary film was designed for on
purpose, to present a factual and
pictorial review of Communism
since its bloody beginning in Mos
cow in 1917, down to the present
time.
The picture was assembled from
more than 2,OO0,OO0 feet of film,
newsreels, Army and Navy films,
captured enemy film and film
from behind the Iron Curtain. No
scene was staged" nor was any
attempt made to inject a story line.
The facts are presented bluntly.
For older members of the audience
the growth of Nazism and Fas-
cism, with its counterpart in the
militarism of Japan, will have a
remembered ring. Here are the
headlines of the past three decades.
For younger members of the
audience THE Hoaxters will pre-
sent for the first time a panor-
annie history of Communism, its
lnSldious methods of operation and
infiltraton, and the deadly parallel
between the aggressive Commun-
ism OF today with the forces of
evil which only recently threaten
ed the world.
The picture was produced by
Dore Schary, M.G-M's vice presi-
dent In charge of production. It
was written by Herman Hoffman,

WASHINGTON 1.-THE Treasury
Department has informed Con
|gress that out Of 80 security
|dismissals or forced designations
lin 1853. four were found TO bel
|"disloyal persons" under standards
since strapped.
The information was given to|
the House Appropriations Commit
|tee, which published 1t today, by
Ebert P. Tuttle, acting security
officer for the department, which
has about 1900 employees. The
committee was considering the
departments budget request.
A man doesn't have to be dis
loyal TO be classed as q security
risk, futile said. He might be
given a dangerous" rating if he
were "a rugged individual with
mother behind the Iron Curtain, he
added.
In a separate report on the Gus
toms service, whose 5000 employees
supervise imports nto the United
States, II was disclosed that six
Ipersons were dismissed last year
as security risks. Customs Com
missioner David B. Strubinger
said all six appeared to have had
"contact' with Communists.
Tuttle gave the information
about the Treasury Department
security dismissals under repeated
demands from Rep. Gary (D-Va).
A number of Democrats in Con-
gress have protested that Republi-
cans have sought to give the i'm
pression that most of the 1900
persons the administration says
were dropped from the federal
payroll last year under It's secur-
lily program were subversives.
Democrats claim a big majority
of the 1900 resigned or were fired
flor reasons other than loyalty and
THAT many of them simply trans
ferred TO other government agen-
Icies.
Gary said he objected to Jumping
laH security risks" together and
including Communists, alcoholics
and persons with other objection
able traits In the same category.
"There Is q difference between
a man being an alcoholic, and a
man being a Communist" he
said.
Tuttle said there was no way Of
comparing security dismissals un-
der the Eisenhower administration
with those under the Truman ad-
ministration because ''the whole
basis of approach is different"
Under the Truman loyalty stan
dards, he explained, disloyalty to
the United States was the only
grounds for dismissal.
The four "disloyal persons" he
mentioned, he said, were found to
be disloyal under the standards of
the Truman program. The Eisen-
hover program did not take effect
until last September. Tuttle insist
ed that no breakdown of diSmissals
under 1t was available.
The new procedure, he said,
