CART whether he is playing an
escape convict for sinister sus-

or the same for laughs in WIRE

There was time when Tracy,
who may be the best actor in
Hollywood, could do virtually
anything. But now is a time
when Tracy has no trouble play
ing the Old Man in Ernest Hem

There is a long array of able
actors whose names you might
consider for this list. There are
Marion Brando, Yul Brynner,
Ernest Borgnine, Frank Sinatra,
Gregory Peck. Henry Fonda, Van

Joseph Gotten. There are Charl-

Cummings before he took up

actor.
The truth may be that the five
best actors in Hollywood are
character actors, in which case
you can start the list with Tracy
and Thomas Mitchell. And your

The safest way to answer the
query of the young lady from
Bethesda. of course. is to weasel
out of it. The other four" of
the five top actors are Joseph

The other fact is that a man
who employs hyperbole is more
foolhardy than courageous. The
only thing gained by the use of
improbable exaggeration for eff
feet is the knowledge that the
world is full of literal people.
Awhile back, in the report here
on Glenn Ford's fine perform
ance in The Fastest Gun Alive,
he was referred to as one of the
five best actors in Hollywood.
He was not loosely called one
of the best or one of maybe a
dozen best actors. but bluntly
one of the five best.
y **
This went unchallenged for a
month, but young woman in
Bethesda has decided to take
issue. Il am very curious to
know whom you consider to be
the other four" she writes. And
also on what basis you rank
Glenn Ford so high"
Well. this is what is known as
a snare and a delusion. If this
lass thinks anyone around here
is going to step into her snare,
she is deluded.
Answering the latter half of
her query is not difficult. Mr..
Ford ranks SO high because he
is not merely a thorough crafts
man but versatile one as we'll.
He can play a wide variety of
roles with complete credibility.
He is not typed. as SO many Hol-
lyWood actors are, and he can
play a part without stamping it
with Glenn Ford's personality
The list of those who can dis
play this competence in any,
thing from a Western to a boud-
DIR farce is shorter than you
think. William Holden's name is
on it, but you are on your own
if you want to go from there.

The House holds the key to
the chances Of the Federal en-
ploye major medical insurance
bill becoming law this year.
If the House approves the bill
within the next few weeks. then
there would be a good likelihood
that the Senate would take quick
action without even holding
hearings.
However. the bills major OBJ
stacle is the time element and
also the opposition Of the private
health insurance groups:>
The House Civil Service Com
mittee is devoting the major por-
ton Of its time to the hearings
on the retirement legislation
which everyone agrees is the
more important of the two bills.
Consequently. the committee is
able to squeeze only about one
hearing week on the health
bill into its busy schedule.
The. major medical insurance
bill is strongly backed by the adj
ministration. The major Federal
employee unions also favor it. But
their main interest lies in the
civil service retirement liberali-
cation bill. Consequently they
don't have the time to give the
major health insurance bill the
about support they would like to.
The House committee meets
on the major health insurance
bill again Friday. If it can wind
up its hearings on the measure
within the next two weeks. there
still remains an outside chance
that the bill might get through
Congress this year. Otherwise.
the legislation will have to 60
over until next year.
RETIREMENT - Meanwhile,
the House Civil Service Com
mittee resumes its hearings on
the Senate-approved Johnston
civil service retirement bill on
Tuesday. Regardless of the time
remaining before Congress adj
journs, it's apparent that the
congressional leadership will
schedule time for action on the
measure before the legislators
go home for the year.
PAY RAISE BILL-RepreSen-
tative Lesinski, Democrat of
Michigan, has sponsored a bill to
give Federal classified employees
pay raises ranging from 7.3 per
cent for those in the lowest
grade to ZIG per cent for those
in grade 10. A member of the
House Civil Service Committee,
Mr.. Lesinski's bill won't be acted
on this year. but it indicates that
|employe groups may make a seri-
Gus attempt at securing a pay
boost next year.
Mr.. Lesinski said Federal

ployes have Jagged far behind

launch this huge project, one Of
the greatest in all history.
Subsequently it was under
stood that Premier Nasser had
substantially accepted the West
ern project, leaving a few loose
ends to be negotiated. About two
months ago he suddenly injected
an element Of delay which
changed the basis of the deal.
He announced that ne wanted to
negotiate a water agreement
with the Sudan before rather
than after starting construction.
The dam would back water into
the Sudan section of the Nile
but work could have started and
the Western powers were willing
to start 1t without getting a Su-
dan agreement beforehand.

since 1889. The approximate
LOG per cent increase in average
salaries Of classified employees
since 1889 is about 122 per cent
below the average boost in in
dustrial blue collar tskilled
trades workers and 81 per cent
below clerical and professional
employe pay increases in in
dustry, Mr.. Lesinski said.
Mr.. Lesinski said Federal en-
ployes in the upper brackets
have Jagged even further behind
in pay increases since their
raises were disproportionate in
relation to the pay boosts given
lower-salaried workers. Under
his bill, the larger percentage
raises proposed for upper
bracket employees would result in
a new Federal classified pay
ceiling of $4,000. compared to
the present $4,000.

Case Calls Cuts
In Allied Arms
'IsoIdtionism'
By J. A. O'LEARY

Senator Case. Republican of
New Jersey. warned last night
that the current Senate drive to
cut military aid for allies and
give it to the United States Air
Force smacks of a return to
''isolationism."
The first showdown may come
tomorrow. when the Senate
makes choice between q Demo-
cratic move to add nearly 81
billion to the administrators
budget for the Air Force. and a
Republican substitute to- add
only $500 million.
Some increase appears certain,
and the odds appear to be
slightly in favor of the larger
amount. Republicans generally
do not believe any increase is
necessary for the next IL
months. They offer the $780,
million amendment only in the
hope of saving half of the
amount the Democrats sue
ceeded in forcing into the bill in
the Appropriations Committee.
Foreign Aid Fight Follows
AS soon as the $35 billion
defense budget for all of the
armed services is passed tomor-
row or Tuesday. the Senate will
plunge into the foreign aid fight.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee has recommended
restoration Of $703 million of a
$1.1 billion House cut in the
Presidents $40 billion foreign
aid program, mostly from the
military side.
But moves are being planned
on the Senate floor to 60 back
to the House cut, or even lower.
If the Senate already has added
81 billion to the United States
Air Force budget before it takes
up foreign aid, that step will be
used as an argument for holding
down military aid to other coun-
tries.
Case Opposes Swap
Senator Case said he does not
believe amy such swap repre-
sents the thoughtful reappraisal
of our long-range policies which
most Of US agree is desirable"
Policies must, of course.

tinued, but let us not be

day that Defense Secretary Will

ayerted. Some are more pessi-
n1istic.
All agree that If the United
States has to give up its air
base in Iceland or If Russia
gets a stranglehold on the
economy or on the political life
Of Egypt the Soviet grand
strategy Of disuniting the free
world will have notable victories.
Outline Of Situations
The two situations which are
causing deep concern are these:
Iceland - The citizens Of the
North Atlantic island go to the
polls today to elect a new par
lament. The major issue in the
campaign has been the presence
Of United States troops at the
Kefiavik air base. Several par
ties. including the powerful Pro-
gTessive group. want to force the
United States to evacuate the
base. The first-ranking ConServ-
ative party would not force
withdrawal but has been unable
to meet the Progressive challenge
head on.
The Icelandic government has
already presented the United
States with a demand to begin
negotiations on withdrawal Au-
gust /. The elections could re-
suit in that demand being modi-
fed. But officials here doubt that
the voting will change Iceland's
attitude toward foreign troops
very much. especially since the
demand for withdrawal is based
on the argument that the friend
Is behavior Of the Bulganin-
Khrushchev regime in Russia
has greatly lessened the danger
Of war. Thus. it is argued. the
full stating Of the $3.50 million
United States base is no longer
necessary.
Egypt-The Egyptian situation
Is, vastly different but the threat
it presents is somewhat similar
Unlike Iceland. Egypt is not a
member of the Atlantic or any
other Western alliance. Under
Premier Canal Abdel Nasser II
has proclaimed neutrality as be-

CIlduCco lOI d0UpJlOu Ol The
Democratic 81 billion increase.
Mr.. Wilson said yesterday his
use Of the word "phony" had
been misunderstood. Only the
closing hours of debate tomor-
row will show whether this ex-
PLANTATION has softened the re-
sentiment stirred up in the SEN
ate Friday by his original state
ment.
In the pending Defense bud
|get the administration asked for
Sl5.6 billion for the Air Force.
The House cut that to $15.4 bill
ion. The Senate committee has
approved $16.7 billion.
Close Vote Expected
The vote is expected to be
fairly close. but Senator Chavez,
Democrat of New Mexico. in
charge of the defense budget,
predicted the 81 billion increase
will carry.
Senator George, Democrat of
Georgia, pointed out that, while
Congress can appropriate more,
lit cannot force the administra-
ton to spend it all.
II doubt that Secretary Wilson
and the President will spend it
unless something unexpected
happens" said Senator George.
The Georgian said he is not
inclined to vote for a whole lot
of additional money unless some
responsible official /, says it is
necessary"
The controversy between the
two factions in the Senate re-
wolves largely around the ques-
ton of whether the Air Force
budget should be boosted now or
next year. Republicans say
nothing would be gained by MAX
ing more money available now.
Democrats point to testimony by
Air Force officials that there is
no escape from a substantially
larger Air Force budget at the
1857 session Of Congress, and
they contend that If the money
is made available now the time
OF delivery Of more B-52s could
be moved up.
OF the more than 81 billion
the Democrats propose to add,
$500 million would be for plane
procurement. If all Of it were
applied to B-52s, it would pur-
chase 100 more.
In deploring the linking of
foreign aid cuts with a bigger
Air Force budget, Senator Case
said:
Il had thought the American
people had long since rejected
the notion that the United States
could or should attempt to go
it alone in the world. Rather,
we have acted on the premise
that the best chance for United
States security lies in a partner
ship with other free and strong
nations. -" 1t is unfortunate,
at the least, to let it appear
that we are choosing between
allied strength and our own
forces when in fact. the Mutual
Security program is an integral
element Of our national overall
defense PLAN"
