Apaches Rage
In Film AT
Islander.

A hard hitting tale Of the wars
waged against the rampaging Apa-
che Indians is thrillingly related
in Paramount's brand new Tech
nicolor Western, "Arrow head"
which opens at the Islander Thea
tre Tuesday night.
Starring Charlton Heston with
Jack Palance and Katy ,Jurado,
this Nat Holt production, set
against the plains of 1870 Texas,
stirringly tells the story of hard
bitten Indian Scout, Charlton He's
ton, who nurtures a bitter hatred
toward the redskin, and of sim
ister Indian leaderwho hated the
whites with an equal passion.
'Arrowhead's" high charged
story gets it's initial power kee
send off when, in the films
first moments, Heston tangles with
three Indian lookouts and kills all
of them. Returning to camp, He's.
ton is fired for this act of violence
by the commander, who thinks the
Indians were sincere in their agree.
ment to be sent to a Florida reser.
vaton.
However, Heston knows that the
treacherous Apaches plan to am
bush the soldiers, and when they
do, the Army brass is convinced
it is because of Heston's killing Of
the three lookouts.
The commander welcomes the
Apaches who are led by Toriano,
played by Jack Palance, an Indian
chief fresh from a white mans
school in the East. Haunting the
welcome, Palance takes a segment
of his tribe on a warpath and after
wreaking much havoc, he offers to
meet the Army to discuss peace.
Again there is an ambush and
from there on in, Arrowhead" is
an exciting series of clashes which
eliminate in a brutal hand to-
hand, unarmed duel between Hes
ton and Palance, with Heston en-
erging victorious.
Companion feature at the Island
er will be- ''House by the River" +"
starring Louis Hayward and Do
rothy Patrick.

Fulbright Is Skeptical About Seriousness
OF McCarthy's Elbow Trouble; Debate DELAYED

Sen. Bennett (R-Utah) has an
nounced he will file a fresh charge
based on McCarthv's declaration
that the censure committee served
as the 'tunwitting handmaiden' of
the Communist party and on Nc
Carthy's imputation of cowardly
actions to Watkins.
A Democratic senator, who
asked that his name not be used,
said he feels a majority of the
Senate believes Mccarthy should
be reprimanded for saying those
things. He said it is his opinion
the Zwicker count has lost backing
since Sen. Case (R-SD), a member
of the Watkins committee, said he
had changed his mind and would
not vote to censure Mccarthy in
the Zwicker matter.

The 1855 Pontiac is getting royal welcome. s1t's

And no wonder! With its Vogue Two Tone styling
and to-Streak VS. engine, Pontiac wraps up
more beauty, luxury, size and power than like
amount of money ever bought before. The price is
near the lowest, but the car is way out front in
everything that makes an automobile great.
The reason lies in the achievement General
Motors is now celebrating-the vast experience

Tience that uncovers what you want and need.

neering experience producing more dollar-for-
dollar quality year after year.

A Republican senator, who also
asked not to be quoted by name,
said, Mccarthy has lost support
by criticizing Watkins and the
committee" This Republican said
he was inclined to vote to rebuke
Mccarthy for that, although he had
decided against censure on the
other two. counts.
Case indicated in a radio-TV
appearance yesterday that he does
not feel McCarthy's statements
about the censure group merit a
formal reprimand. He said Nc

TWoNewD Doctors Have Begun

For years, there has been q

newcomers.
They were newcomers only IN the
sense of opening their practice to
the general public. Both men are

WASHINGTON R - Sen. Full
bright DARK says he doubts
Sen. McCarthy's elbow trouble is
"quite as serious as we were led
to believe" when the Senate last
week suspended debate on censure
charges against the Wisconsin
Republican while he underwent
hospital treatment.
sIt seems to me-" Fulbright said
yesterday during a television
interview, "that this delay is GER
tainly consistent with an effort to
prevent any vote at all.
Debate on the censure charges
which Fulbright helped initiate
was broken off last week until next
Monday when DR.. George w. Cal
yer, Capitol physician, reported
Mccarthy had developed "trau-
matte bursitis" after his elbow was
injured in a Milwaukee handshak-
ing accident.
Mccarthy has been undergoing
treatment at the Bethesda Naval
Hospital. The hospital reported
yesterday his condition continues
satisfactory.
"This isn't the first time that
he's reported to the hospital when
he's in an embarrassing position, =

recess, but IS other senators ap-
proved.
The Senate is authorized to sit
for this session only until Christ
mas Eve. If the vote on censure
does not come by that time, the
charges automatically die.
Sen. Watkins (R-Utah), who
headed special committee that
recommended Mccarthy be CEN
sured, said yesterday he doubts the
recess ''will have any effect On
the final result" Speaking on a
recorded program telecast from
New York, he said the censure
debate luI may ".cool off some of
the people who have been emotion
ally upset"
Meanwhile, q move reportedly
was developing to substitute a new
count - the alleged maligning by
Mccarthy of the Watkins commit
tee - for charges now before the
Senate.

three Republicans and three Dem
ocrats recommended that McCar-
thy be rebuked for allegedly treat

grounds that he repeatedly

was testifying before McCarthy's
Investigations subcommittee last
February.
Senators who so far have taken
no public stand on the charges
were said to have discussed a pos.
sible bipartisan move to press the
new count.
