Fisher Winston, a friend of

morning two weeks ago, for a
week end party on Long Island
Late Friday. he noticed that the
cuffs on a pair of slacks he was
taking along weren't exactly
right. "There's a little tailor
shop in the building" said his
secretary. "He often works late,
SO why don't you ask him to do
a rush job, and you can pick
them up tomorrow morning en-
route to Long Island"
Winston dropped in at the
tailor's, explained his dilemma
You work in the building?"
asked the tailor. Winston gave
him his business card. "a big
operator, yes?" nodded the tailor
Me, I'm only a schneider tailor
For you, will do it."
The following morning Win
ston stopped by in his car to pick
up the slacks. To avoid a park
ling ticket, he asked the elevator
operator to have the tailor bring
them down.
When the tailor arrived, Win
ston realized he'd left a brief
case in his Office. "Sit in the Car"
he told the tailor, until I rush
up to my office"
When Winston came back. the
tailor handed him SIS. 1t was on

seem to be in the lead in that
field. It is just a job before
which any brave man might
quail.
MIR. Dwan is at work for RKO
on a film called Slightly Scar
let," which does not owe its
major distinction to the fact
that it is an adaptation of a
James NJ. Cain novel called
Loves Lovely Counterfeit" It
is noteworthy for being the first
movie ever made with a cast
headed by both Arlene Dahl and
Rhonda Fleming.
If that does not constitute a
double handful of potential
atomic fission for the director,
red-headed women certainly
have changed in the past few
years. If Mr.. Dwan comes
through this unscathed, he
surely can take his place along
side Clyde Beatty among the
courageous of show business. All
Beatty did was PIT lions and
tigers, mortal enemies to the
roots of their instincts. in the
same act. Mr.. Dwan is not even
allowed to carry a gun.
The RKO announcement, pos
sibly written by somebody who
was keeping straight face at
the time, has this to add: THE
two beautiful red-headed act
resses, Misses Fleming and Dahl,
will have roles of equal import
ance." They had better be.
There is one consolation for
Mr. Dwan. He is in a position to
perform a great service by put
ting Miss Dahl and Miss Flem-
ing side-by side before the Tech
nicolor cameras. He may end
the confusion for those of us
who never can remember which
one of those red-heads is Arlene
Dahl and which one is Rhonda
Fleming.

tinental singers, has come up
with one with a difference in
Sandra Kiraly. She is a CONT
mental singer, possibly the first
one you ever heard of. whose
English is wonderfully impec-
cable. Its only accent is a slight
memory of the British schools
where it was learned.
Miss Kiraly was born in Is
tamboul, Turkey, but is billed
as a Viennese singer. There is
not much point in delving into
that, however, since her spe.
cialty is calypso songs, which
don't have much to with either
Vienna or Istambul. She ha'
quite a way with these. as she

Russians claim cut in budqet for defense spending in '56

ed in previous years at capital ist and imperialist warmong- CTS"
 The budget, slightly higher than that outlined in February for 1855, estirna ed eNpe1di- tures at 568,8O0,OOO,O0O rubles and revenues at 991 900. GOO. 900 The 1855 budga. put expendi- lures at 563, 482, 100000 rubles and revenues at 590, 192, ,O00, ,000
 The finance minister added. however, That a comparison of the figures for the two years was misleading because whole sale prices had been cut con- siderably during 1855.
 Zverev said defense appro- prial,ions for the coming year would be 10212 billion rubIes, just over Is percent of the to- tai expenditure and nearly 10 percent below the 1855 esti- mate of 112, ,122, 100000 rubles.
 (The Russians value the ru- ble arbitrarily at 25 cents, but its purchasing power is sub stantially less. However, the actual Soviet defense appropria ton cannot be estimated accur ately since many items which would be included u1ler that category in other countries are hidden under other headi1gs).
 The U. s. government is spending for defense at the rate of about 341a billion dollars an nually, or about 5 percent of it's e0penditures).
 Zverev declared the saving in the military budget would be used Ito help advance the na tional economy. education and culture. He recalled the cut of 620,000 in Russia's armed for ces, announced earlier this year, and Russia's decision to return to Finland the Porkkala naval base. All these moves, he said, showed Russia's con- cern for reducing world ten- sion.
