THE THEATER WEEK
BY WILLIAM GLOVER

MATUNpCK, R. l., July %
R.-Dolores Del Rio, raven
tressed film queen long absent
from American screens, is
face to face with her public
at last-and learning some
thing new every day.
This is the first time any
where. absolutely anywhere,
that 1 have acted in a stage
play" she says of her current
eight-week tour of summer
theaters in the drama "Anas-
tasia."
1T is a new part of my long.
unending career Always I
have felt that the movies were
my medium, but people kept
saying Why don't you do a
play in the theater?'
There are so many things
to do and time goes so
fast. :"
Dolores, who is 81 by the
book. is a woman who has
bewitched time. The actress
who enchanted fans 80 years
ago - remember Ramona?
is girlishly 1.-the in ges-
ture, ner complexion is un-
sullied. the famous profile
unflawed.
Far From Idle
The lady, of course, has
been far from idle since she
left Hollywood way back. in
disgust over picture assign
ments that simply required
her to wear pretty clothes.
She has been continuously
busy in her native Mexico max
ing films that have kept her
name in lights on theaters
throughout Latin America.
There are "a million peo-
pie in the world who speak
Spanish. she points out. This
is a nice audience to have"
Altogether there have been
81 f1lms-and two more are
waiting to be shot when she
returns south of the border
in September.
For some reason, the cause
Of which she confesses is OBJ
scure, she is also a reigning
favorite in the Far East. But
virtually none of these nu-
merous movies have been shown
in the land where she first
rocketed to the heights Of star
dom.
Il think it is mostly a lack
Of distribution facilities" she
says with the poise of woman
well acquainted with the buSl-
ness side of movieland.
Men Just Come Along
"Also my pictures seem
mostly for people who love to
cry. They are made for the
woman. AS a matter Of fact. all
films are made for women.
The men, they Just come
along"
Her visit to Matunuck' S
Theater-by-the-Sea and other
top houses on the strawhat
circuit is. she explains. actually

principal South American
cities during the winter.

to choose among several
scripts.

a second batch of wounded Egyp-
tan prisoners from Israeli hos
pitfalls.
U. S. 1t. Gen. Raymond A.
Wheeler retired, u. N. adviser
on clearing the Suez Canal, in
spected Sunken ships and other
distractions for the second day.
An aide said it would take at
least a week to complete the
survey of the entire 1O3-mile
waterway. 1t has been estimated
that the job of clearing the
canal will take six months and
cost at least $50 million.
Declines Precise Estimate
Some persons have estimated
the clearing job might take a
year. But Gen. Wheeler told a
news conference in Cairo it
would certainly not" take that
long. He declined to give a pre-
else estimate, however.
Gen. Wheeler talked with re-
porters before leaving for Port
Said to inspect salvage operations
that a British French naval task
force already has begun.
He said 40 or so ships were
obstructing the canal, but divers
will have to make an under
water inspection before it is
known how difficult the clearing
operation will be.
He said the Egyptians had
been cooperative and had sent
a resident engineer and staff to
questions, but these were
civilians and the extent of scut-
Ting would have to be deter
mined from military authorities.

ain will have to be convinced
that European unity would moi
restrain them in the future from
carrying out their individual
Mideast and North African poll
cies.
To accentuate the positive for
a few paragraphs, one can tick
of these points:
Friendship-The old DAYS OF
ministerial backslapping are
certainly on their way back and
every delegation here is express
ing its determination to let by
cones pretty much be bygones
and to be pals again.
Alliance - The Soviet thaw
which threatened the military al
lance during most of the past
year has been proved a trap. SO
all delegations are back to their
old determination that the At
lantic community must stand
strongly together or fall help
lessly through the ice.
Other Problems
Political decisiOns-The min
listers in secret sessions will de-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-12-11

duck in any atomic war and Her
Majesty's delegates shy away
from NATO dependence on nu-
clear warfare.
Old Problem
Germany.-The old problem
Of squeezing more men and
arms out of Germany will be
puzzled over again, but NATO
still has no power to compel;
1t can only persuade. Germany,
with its own domestic problems
and its own theories on foreign
affairs, seems as hard to per-
suade as ever.
ExpansiOn.-Some delegates
would like to expand NATO into
the mideast in order to protect
the Soviet-threatened flank of
the alliance. This would involve
initiation of new members, how
ever, and this conference appar-
emily is not considering any in
vitations.
Secretary General.-There Is
talk here OF increasing the pow
ers of Nato's secretary general.
The present holder Of the posi-
ton, Lord Ismay. said yesterday,
however. that his Job has no
powers whatsoever and could not
have unless the basic nature of
alliance were to be changed and
members were to relinquiSh some
sovereignty. This isn't happen
ing.
The Suez Canal-There is al
ready much talk about Suez, par
ticularly in private conversations
among Secretary Of State Dulles,
and Britain'S Selwyn Lloyd and
Frances Christian Pineau. They
agree to cooperate in unlock
ing the canal but here nothing
can be done without the CO.
operation of Egypt and the
United Nations. The best that
has come out of these talks so
far is q return to the prewar
position of the Big Three and
everyone knows where that bit
of unity led. Basic differences
in Middle East policy still exist
among NATO members.
EurOpe-Some observers hope
a more united Europe will grow
out of the past crisis. but there
is much feeling that NATO is
not the proper instrument for
this. and that France and Brit

eide what NATo can do II. for
instance, East German workers
revolt. II the Hungarian revolu-
ton spreads. or If Russia really
penetrates the Mideast mill
tarily.
Emergency Plans-Lord Ismay
will urge the adoption OF some
additional wartime emergency
measures, concentrating on plans
for civil defense. He expects to
get good cooperation on this.
Information - The Secretary
General also will ask for better
education. information and pro-
paganda work from NATO mem
bers. Nobody seems to know
what we are trying to do here"
he complains.
Cultural Exchanges-The con-
ference also will study some
minor recommendations for the
exchange of professorships and
an increase in NATO scholar
ships, but no one expects much
to come of NATO's planned role
of an instrument of cultural
exchanges.

within the North Atlantic COM
munity before the burst into
flame. But other nations fail ia
see NATO as a political instru-
ment and there is no indication
that the conference will do any
more than provide some new po-
Ilitical mechanisms the members
can use If they-in their indi-
Ividual sovereign ways-choose to
use them.
COnfidence.-Lack of consulta-
ton between NATO members
before the Suez expedition
caused a breakdown of conf
dence in the organization. There
is no way to insure that another
such breakdown will not occur
in the future. There can be firm
new pledges of confidence and
future consultation, but such
pledges also existed before Suez.
Strength. There is general
agreement here that NATO must
be stronger militarily in order to
offer good defense against the
Soviet amorality demonstrated
anew in Hungary and the Middle
East. But none of the key ma
tions-America, Britain, France
and Germany-Seems ready to
spend more money on NATO and
some, indeed, are expected to
insist this week that their own
contributions be cut back. There

power, but machines cost per-
haps more than men and their
effective utilization here is some
years off. Dependence on atomic
power also has its drawbacks.

Ten Thousand Members
Egyptians in Port Said claim
there are 10000 members of the
Moslem Brotherhood in the
city. The secret organization

attain greater inner cohesion
than existed before the Suez war
And these same structural lin
itations make it impossible for
the Is nations foreign, military
and finance ministers here to
turn into an effective political
instrument. The facts of Euro
pean and American economic life
also make it impossible for NATO
to increase its military strength.
This is not to say that the is
nations are wasting their time
here, for they can 60 a long way
toward restoring old friendships;
they can give formal recognition
to the -obvious fact that
there never was a thaw in the
cold war, and they can make
some firm political decisions on
what NATO will do under GER
tain foreseeable types of Com
munist threat.
The negative list is longer,
however. 1t looks like this in
eyes of realistic delegates here
and almost all of them are de-
cidedly realistic in this seventh
year of NATO's life:
COhesiOn-NATO is a military
alliance providing also for Gull
tural and economic cooperation.
But because it is only an alli-
ance in which no nation has
given up any sovereignty rights,
1t cannot enjoy any more unity
than the individual members per-
nit. The Suez war showed that
there are times when some ma
lions will want to go off on pri-
vate expeditions to the detriment
Of NATO. This conference can
not abridge this right not to con-
suit and cooperate.
Political Aims

Kidnoper Of Bride, II,
Captured in Wild Chase

DENVER, Dec. 20 R.-An
escaped mental patient, who kid
|naped his teen-age bride from
her Napa City, Calf, home at
gunpoint Monday, was cap
tured in Denver early today
after a wild police chase through
deserted streets.
Mike Wiegner, Is, and his
bride, Clio Ann Mowatt Wiegner,
II, are in Denver General Hos
Ipital for injuries suffered when
the fleeing kidnap car hurtled
into a West Denver gulch.
Mrs. Wiegner, suffering from
head and internal injuries, un-
Iderwent an emergency operation,
and hospital attendants said she
had been taken of the critical
list. but was still in serious con-
Idition.
Wiegner, at first believed not
badly injured, also was termed
in serious condition and surgery
was planned later today.
A hospital attendant said,
however. neither was expected to
die from the injuries.
Police squads moved about the
city looking for a scar-faced In
dian named Jesse Eastman. alias
Jesse Red Cloud, 35, who Wieg-
ner said made the trip from
California with him.
A .22-caliber rife was found
insthe smashed escape car. East
man, apparently not seriously
hurt, fled in the darkness. Police
said they did not know If he
was armed.
The Indian. known also as
Chief" was described by Weig-
ner as "gun-happy."
The chase began sometime
after 1880 am. and ended is
minutes later. Three police cars
were damaged and at least one
policeman slightly injured pur-
suing Wiegner's car.
At one point a patrol car ram
med the escape vehicle. But
Wiegner stepped on the gas,
slowed, and forced the squad car
into a parked machine. Another
police car smashed up on q turn
and third struck a parked car.
Wiegner reused violently when
an Associated Press photographer
took his picture as he lay on a
hospital table receiving plasma.
IF you don't get out of here" "
he said. "I'll grab that bottle
and throw 1t in your face!" He
made an attempt to grasp the
plasma bottle, but was restrained.
Then he threw an arm over his
face and squirmed.
Later he told q Denver Post
photographer that he was the
son Of a San Francisco police
officer.
Wiegner's capture was a wild
ending to a romance which be-
gan last month when Clio Ann
