Gov. McKe|din Blasts
Defense Spending
AboyeU. 5. Needs
BY The A.sesia.sd p,e.s

BOLTON LANDING, N. Y,
July 14.-Gov. Theodore r. Nc
Keldin of Maryland charged to-
day that some National planners
are trying to perpetuate war
economy in this Nation beyond
the point Of necessity"
Gov. McKeldin added in a
speech prepared for the Cover
nors' Conference:
Il was amazed. and even as
founded. lust last week, to note
the National Planning Associa-
ton advocating, to all intents
and purposes. the building up of
a war scare and special session
of the Congress to appropriate
more money than now is COM
mitted for what cutely was called
defense spending"
Blasts Unnecessary Spending.
He quoted the group as saying
1t assumed" the Administra-
ton was examining its defense
needs and would find "that ma
tlonal security calls for bigger
defense spending"
Il favor and I am sure we all
favor the spending of all that is
necessary for the defense of this
nation" Mr.. McKeldin said. But
to spend more under the guise
of defense just to increase temp
orarily the level of economy
would be dishonest. deceitful and
foolish in the extreme"
The Republican governor then
praised the Eisenhower admin
1stration as doing much in a
proper and sound way to en-
courage and help the national
growth of our economy"
FavOrs Lower Tariffs.
Gov. McKeldin said this coun-
try's economic development could
be given a further boost by
lower tariffs to stimulate more
trade with other countries.
He added that the President
should be given broader powers
to carefully lower tariffs on
selected imports"
Gov. McKeldin said yesterday
that Maryland is opposed to any
weight-distance tax on trucks
as a means of raising additional
highway revenue.
He urged instead that States
consider meeting expanding
transportation problems by
building toll highways which
could be used exclusively buses
and trucks. This, he said, would
relieve other highway congestion
while benefitting bus and truck
companies.
Seen Bringing Barriers.
Gov. McKeldin told the con-
ference that a ton-mile truck
tax could be "the forerunner to
interstate trade barriers, If not
In itself the actual creation of
such barriers.
A ton-mile tax has been pro-
posed in some States as a means
OF meeting rising highway costs.
1t would apply to trucks and or
buses and would be based on the
weight of their load and the dis
lance they were travelling.
Such levy would be especial
ly harmful to commerce in
Maryland, Gov. McKeldin said.
He said Baltimore's port activity,
and Maryland's seafood and
agricultural industries are heav-
lily dependent on truck travel as
well as other means of trans
portation.

These supports, however, do
affect the price of milk used for
manufacturing purposes, and
since all milk above that needed

A spokesman for the Maryland

They said the prices paid pro-

Lavish Film Tells Life of Dr.. Marshall
By Bob Thoamos
Associated Press Stuff Writer

|. HOLLYWOOD, Nov. "A
film studio is gambling 50 million
in the hope that audiences viii
buy tickets to hear sermons and
to see the life Of q remarkable
Washington minister.
Twentieth Century Fox is
making "A Man Called Peter"
the biography Of the late Rev.
Peter Marshall. pastor of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church who also served as
chaplain of the Senate.
This is a far cry from the stu
dos other CinemaScope offer
ings, which have specialized in
sex and spectacle. Perhaps the
studio feels, as many do. that
it's time the big screen said
something.
Producer Sam Engel spent
more than a year working on
the script, which was written
by Eleanor Griffin, Academy
Award winner for Boys Town."
He insisted on keeping large
excerpts from the minister's
sermons in the film.
Scenes Filmed Here.
"You wouldn't film The Jol-
son Story without SONGS" he
reasoned. "Nor would you make
the life Of a great preacher
without using his sermons"
He felt some trepidation when
he sent the finished script to
boss Daryl Zanuck in Paris. But
Zanuck okayed the script and
approved a top budget. Filming
began this fall in Atlanta, Ca;
Washington, D. c., and Annapo-
lis, Md. The picture is now be-
ing completed here.
The sermons are designed to
occupy 20 minutes in the entire
film, and one lasts a full eight
minutes. Just in case the public
won't go for such big amounts,
the scenes have been designed
so the sermons can be cut. But
the studio hopes that won't be
necessary.
I visited the set and met
Richard Todd, the Dublin-born
actor who is portraying DR.. Mar
shall. He had never known Of
the preacher before the film
came up, but has since learned
much of his life from friends and
DR.. Marshall's widow Catherine,
who wrote the best-selling book.
"Truly Remarkable Man."
"He was a truly remarkable
man." Todd said. "He was a
vigorous man, to whom religion
was very real and living thing"
I asked Todd how the plot of
the picture fitted into the
necessity for screen entertain
ment.
There is no plot as SUCH"
he replied. ut is a saga of a
mans life. AS for entertain
ment, I think that anything
that interests, entertains. Ger
tainly the book must have been
considered entertaining by the
many readers who made it a
best seller"
He said the movie would begin
with DR.. Marshall's life as a
boy in his native Scotland.
where he was born in 1902. It
will show how the boy educated
himself and came to America
at the age of Is.
