AMOUR Is YHEIK BUSINESS
Individuality Means
More Than Glamour

"And when I came to Holly
wood, the makeup men i'm
mediately tried to improve
my features. They wanted
to completely redo me. They
wanted to curl my hair, en-
large my mouth and even
give me false eyelashes.
"It's easy to do what people
want. especially when they
are so pleasant. 1t wasn't
that I thought I couldn't
be improved but they wanted
to change me so drastically,
and I wouldn't let them.
When I was given a screen
test, I asked to do the role
without any makeup so I
would look natural. They
signed me up the way I was,
so why should I change?
II wouldn't go so far as
to say I'm glad I'm not
beautiful" Shirley told me,
as we had tea in her dressing
room. But since I'm the or
beat type I might as well
make the most of it.
Always Herself
Being yourself is very i'm
portant, and I've never felt
comfortable around people
who expected anything else
from me. One Of the things
I love SO much about my
husband Is that he doesn't
try to change me. He loves
me the way I am.
Some couples have to pro-
fess what they don't feel.
Often the wife excels over the
husband. and she has to
make him believe she doesn't.
Fortunately Steve cher hus-
band Is Director Steve
Parker) does everything bet
ter than I do, so there is no
problem. But If he didn't, I
wouldn't like having to pre-
tend that he did" f.
Shirley is firm in convic-
ton OF right and wrong.
Sometimes it takes per-
severance to follow what I
think Is right, but 80 far I
haven't regretted it." Shir-
ley confided. II was rehears-
ing q play two weeks after
my baby. Stephanie, was
born. My doctor advised
against this. but I felt fine.
Three hours after she was
born I was up roaming the
corridors. I walked out of
the hospital "a hours later
and cooked dinner that
night.
II wouldn't advise every
one to do this" she warned.
Not all women feel as well
as I did. But I'm so healthy.
I felt strong and eager to be
up and doing things. They
couldn't keep me in bed.
Il wanted to regain my
figure III q hurry because I
was excited about doing the
play. I did all the exercises
my doctor gave me and I was
careful to avoid getting over
ly tired. It was o wonderful
feeling. though. getting back
into my old dresses again."
she exclaimed.
Clothes Chat
We chatted about clothes
and the problem Of finding
the right At.
Il was no problem to Edith
Head. Paramount Studios
fashion expert. She recog-
nized Immediately the type
OF clothes that suited me.

HOLLYWOOD.
Shirley MacLaine. with a
sprinkling Of freckles on up
turned nose, wouldn't ex-
change her individuality for
all the glamour in Holly
wood. And why should she,
since this was the very reason
she was starred in her first
picture. 1.-THE Trouble With
Harry" and later chosen to
co-star with Shirley Booth in
Hot SPELL?
Shirley came to Hollywood
from the Broadway produce
ton Of "Pajama Game" She
was discovered by Hal Wallis,
who was in the audience the
night that she took over in
the starring role after Carol
Haney broke her ankle.
Mr.. Wallis tested me in
New York and put me under
contract" Shirley revealed.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-10

ALL" Shirley admitted, but
/ love to be comfortable no
matter what / wear. Miss
Head and I agreed that I was
the casual type and should
refrain from wearing frills
or anything too sophisticated.
II practically live at the
beach in the summer, and at
home I wear toreador pants
most Of the time. I don't like
pedal-pushers because they
hit my legs at an unbecom-
ing length. However, being
casual doesn't mean you
can't be chic. It's good taste
and scrupulous groo ming
that make a person well
dressed"
I noticed a very heady, So
phisticated perfume on Shir-
ley's dressing-room table.
That's my favorite," she
confessed. When I seemed
surprised she commented,
TITS amusing to do the I'M
expected as long as it isn't
phoney. Although I'm not
sophisticated, I do like to in
dulge occasionally in this
type Of perfume"
While Shirley was in
Japan, she discovered how
sincere and courteous the
japanese people are. IT adj
mired their philosophy Of
simplicity and politeness. I
think that we Americans
could take a lesson from them
by practicing consideration
and thoughtfulness toward
Others" she said in parting.

Subcommittee Chairman Chef
Holifleld asked DR.. Libby to pre-
pare for inclusion in the record OF
the hearing an explanation of his
position on cessation of nuclear
tests.
The following day. DR. Libby pre-
sented the statement to the COM
mittee. II was the most vigorous
defense of the administration
position that had yet been heard.
DR.. Libby explained that the very
survival of the Nation depends on
our defense and deterrent capa-
bilities (which arel inextricably
bound to our nuclear warheads and
the weapons system which would
carry these waTheads."
To cease tests now. he said, would

Where's the Threshold?
Underlyine the whole controver

Underlying the whole controversy
is the disagreement over the ex-
istence and location of a "thresh-
old"-a point beyond which the
human body cannot safely absorb
the poisons from fallout. The
committees expert witnesses could
not agree on whether or not there
is any definite amount of radio
poisons such as cancer-forming
strontium 80 that can safely be
taken by the somatic cells Of the
body.
One scientist. the Nobel Prize
winning geneticist, DR.. Hermann j.
Muller, summed UP the thinking of
many of his colleagues with the
warning that wed better soon
find out" about the existence of a
threshold DR.. Muller and the
other geneticists who testified all
agreed that. as far as concerns
damage to genetic cells. there is
no threshold" that every nuclear
explosion leaves its mark upon fu-
ture generations. They further
suggested that they may have pre-
viously underestimate the possible
genetic dangers.

nitely shorten future lives, impair
mans fertility and result in in
creasing deformities. They added.

comparative size to the total pop
ulation will not be great.

and theological split that permits
maneuvering only on the narrow
bridge built by the mutual aware
ness of danger.
The week saw these develop
ments:
. Appearing on an American tele-
vision show, Nikita Khrushchev,
No. man of the Soviet collective
leadership, again pointed up the
sharp differences of approach be-
tween the United States and Russia
on disarmament, while grimly con-
cedlng that IF the means of war
fare now enable one country to
destroy another, then that second
country can probably destroy the
first"
. President Eisenhower, in effect,
again rejected Mr.. Khrushchev's
remarks on disarmament and re-
iterated that nuclear weapons test
ing must continue until some firm
arms agreement is reached.
. The United Nations disarma-
ment talks in London went through
a desultory week. with the antici-
pated presentation of a new
American proposal still in the Of
fling and hopes for some sort of
agreement weak but still alive.
. Members of Congress searching
for def1nitive statement of the
danger to man presented by radio
active fallout from weapons test
ing again encountered sharply con-
Trajectory testimony, with only one
point agreed upon: Great amounts
Of fallout from testing do present
some degree of danger to the hui
man race.
Thus, the fallout testimony on
Capitol Hill provided an urgent
counterpart to the diplomatic CROP
ing in Washington and Moscow for
national positions compatible with
the unique problems and threat of
the nuclear age.

THE STATUS OF FORCES AGREEMENTS

The United States has no status

Pending an agreement, the mem
bers OF the American military mis-
sion there enjoy the same immu-
to local law possessed by diplomats.
Thus there was no legal question of
jurisdiction by the Army court
martial that acquitted M/Sergt.

OF Liu Tze-jan. But the acquittal

Feelings Are Strong
There have been other less con-

recently in the Far East. where To-
cal feelings on the subject tend to
be extreme because Of the areas
strong nationalist current. Gen.
Carlos p. Romulo, Philippine AM
bassador TO the United States,
speaking in New York at the time
Of the Formosa riot, put it this
way:
ITO us court jurisdiction is part

eighty is sacrosanct. Anything that

diers were accused did not arouse
the Indignation of the populace as
much as the fact that the courts
Of the countries where the crimes
were committed were not allowed
to try the accused.
What was resented deeply was
that the native civil courts were
made TO yield to the American

The du Pont-GM Case

The other decision called for a
splitup of one of the greatest in
dustrial empires, the du Pont Co.
and General Motors. 1t left up to
the court of original jurisdiction
the task of determining how du
Pont should divest itself of its
% per cent of GIN stock.
Antitrust policy, which over the
years has been quite flexible. is
based on two laws-the Sherman
Act of 1890 and the Clayton Act
of 1914. The former was designed
to break up monopolies, the latter
to prevent their inception. The
du Pont case was brought under
section of the Clayton Act.
Justice Brennan. writing the
majority opinion. held that: THE
first paragraph of section
plainly is framed to reach not only
the corporate acquisitions of stock
Of competing corporation . but
also any corporation. COM
petitor or not. where the effect
may be either Cd to restrain com.
merce in any section of the
community: or (2) tend to create
a monopoly of any line of COM
merce."
Justice Brennan said du Points
position as a major GIN supplier
was not achieved until after its
purchase of large block of GIN
stock in 1917. Immediately after
ward. he said, du Pont became
GINS supplier Of paints and fabrics,
tending to lessen competition.

Girord Case:
Delicate Matter

Relations with Japan involved
much more than commercial con-
sideration last week. The Defense
Department. having delayed for
study" the case of an American
soldier, Army Specialist &c Will
liam S. Girard. charged with homi-
eide in the death of a japanese
mother Of five. decided belatedly
that the soldier would be tried by
a japanese civil court. The Penta-
gon announcement touched off a
storm of protest in Congress and
among patriotic and veterans
groups.
Defense Secretary Charles E.
Wilson and Secretary of State
Dulles agreed on the decision to
release the soldier to japanese Gus
tody. They acted on the finding
that the soldier. who shot an empty
cartridge case at the japanese vic
tim on a firing range where she was
collecting scrap, was mot in the
performance of duty" at the time.
Therefore, under existing status
of-forces agreement with Japan.
that nations courts had primary
jurisdiction. (See story by Tom
Henshaw on this page)
Almost Immediately, lawyers re-
tanned by the Girard family in this
country obtained temporary stay
Of the Pentagon order. Pending a
hearing on an application for a
writ Of habeas corpus on Tuesday,
Federal Judge Joseph c. Nc
Garraghy in Washington ordered
Gilard kept in Army custody.
The case has thrown wide open
once again the dispute over the
Status-of forces treaties with ma
tions where American troops are
stationed Long time enemies of
the agreements, which are praised
by the State Department as major
contributions to harmonious re-
lations with foreign countries, were
forming for a determined assault
on the pactS.
The Senate Armed Forces SUBJ
committee dealing with the agree
ments promptly summoned Defense
Department general counsel Robert
Dechert for questioning. Senator
Bricker, Republican of Ohio. an
arch-foe OF the pacts, called the
action the sacrifice of an Ameri-
can soldier to appease japanese
public opinion" In the House.
Ohio Republican Frank 7. Bow
mustered new support for his bill,
now in committee. calling for can
collation. Of the agreements.
