also won awards for best costume
design in color; best sound; best
film editing; best art direction,
which included best set direction
by Hugh Hunt, who did the same
job on the original silent "Ben-
Hur" in 1924; best color cinema
Biography, and best musical
scoring.
Shelley Winters, nominated for
the third time, was named best
supporting actress for her work
in ''The Diary of Anne Frank"
The failure of Ben-Hur to win
best screenplay was not a sur
prise. A controversy involving
director William Wyler, the
Screen Writers Guild and British
writer Christopher Fry colored
the voting.
A Screen Writers Guild arbi-
tration committe finally decided
that writer Karl Tunberg should
have sole credit on the screenplay
despite protestations from Wyler,
Fry - and even Tunberg himself.
Probably the most applauded
award of the evening went to
Bob Hope, perennial master Of

who received the Jean Hersholt

Eisenhower Blasts Out at Ignorant Or
Blind Critics of Admin. Space Policy

as they are both at home and
abroad"
''The President refers to people
who criticize our defenses as
being both blind and ignorant"
Mansfield said. "He must be re-
ferring to individuals within his
own Administration, such as Gen
erals Thomas S. Power (head of
the Strategic Air Commando and
Maxwell D. Taylor dormer Army
Chief of Staff and such individ-
uals as Sen. Barry Goldwater R-
Ariz) - who wants more BIOS
and Sen. Norris Cotton Or
NH, who wants more Polaris
submarines.
Maybe he has in mind (Wehr-
ner) Won Braun and Gen. Me-
darts, both of whom are unhappy
over our space and missile pro-
grams" Medaris recently retired
as head of the Army Ballistic
Missile Agency with a blast at
Administration defense policy.
Won Braun heads the rocket scien-
fist team at Huntsville, Ala, and
has generally avoided any open
criticism.
Record Filled with improvements
Eisenhower tolled off what he
regards as the accomplishments
Of his administration, starting
with the hating of the Korean
war and the keeping of peace
thereafter.
"The record is filled with such
advances as improvements in the
health and welfare of our people,
the greater soundness, freedom
and growth of our economy, in
increased modernization an d
strengthening of our defense,
greater prestige abroad, and the
initiation of a building pro-
gram that dwarfs anything of it's
kind in all history of all nations"
Eisenhower said.
The President told the Repub-
lican women he hoped they would
drive home another idea in the
coming months: '1Some opponents
apparently feel there is no prob
lem that cannot be solved by a
subsidy = that all social and eco
nomic difficulties can be speedily
resolved by tapping the treasury.
What myth that is"

Social Security
Bureau Will Select
20 Job Trainees
ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE - If you think
you can determine the age of a
native born Alaskan, claiming old
age payments under the Social Sc
curity Act, when that person may
have been born hundreds of miles
from the nearest hospital and
without the benefit of doctor or
records, the Federal Government
may have job for you soon, says
Cradoc Bagshaw, Branch Man
, ager of the Civil Service Commits
sion's Alaska Office. Establishing
the age of such natives is just
one of many duties performed by
claims representatives of the Bur-
eau of Old-Age and Survivors In
surance, and the Bureau is now
seeking qualified applicants for
the position.
If you are interested in a career
with the Social Security Admins
tration, this may be the time to
act.
The Bureau plans soon to select
at least 20 persons from the North
west states to enter training at
Seattle and Portland. The training
programs are scheduled to begin
about July |.
After three months instruction
in the administration of the Fed
eral old-age, survivors and disabil-
ity insurance program, trainees
will be assigned to one of 20 Off
ces in Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and Alaska.
According to Bagshaw, all train
ees will be selected from among
individuals who receive a passing
grade in the Federal Service En-
trance Examination. To take the
examination, to be given May IA,
application card, Form 5OOO-AB
must be filed with the Seattle Re-
gional Office of the Civil Service
Commission, 302 Federal Office
Building, by April %. In Alaska
the Federal Service Entrance Ex-
animation may be taken at An
chorage, Cordova, Fairbanks, Ju-
neau, Ketchikan, Seward, Nome
and Sitka.
Application card Form 5OOO-B
may be obtained from any Post
Office.
To qualify for the test, an APP
plicant must have a college edu-
cation or equivalent experience.
A claims representative trainee
starts at salary of $4,040, or
$4,980 a year, depending on his
qualifications. Six months later,
the annual salary increases, and
one year later he is promoted to
the full claims representative po-
sition, starting salary $5,47O. A
25 per cent cost of living allow
ance is added for Alaska positions.
Describing particulars of the
job, BagshaW stated that the
claims representative in district
office of the Bureau of Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance is re-
sponsible for assisting persons ap-
plying for old-age, survivor and
disability insurance benefits and
approving the payment of the
benefits claimed. A big part of the
job, he added, is to translate the
technicalities of the Social Sc
curity law into everyday language.

WASHINGTON, R = With
partisan crowd cheering his words,
President Eisenhower praised
Vice President Nixon and struck
back Justify Monday night at
Democratic critics of his defense
policies.
sour nation is the most power
full in the world" Eisenhower
said, land only the ignorant and
the blind insist it to be other
wise"
The President chose the Repub-
lican Women's National Confer
ence as the forum for his open
ing salvo of the party's campaign
to elect Nixon as his successor.
The speech, preview of the kind
he is likely to make as the cam
paign progresses, contained some
sly digs at Democratic Presiden-
tial hopefuls.
About 1000 persons heard his
speech, cheering both Eisenhower
and Nixon, who introduced the
President and lauded the record
he has made.
Praises Nixon
EiSenhower's praise of Nixon
was unstinting. He said Nixon has
been "a credit to the Admins
ration, our party, and our country
Since 1852 he has gained nearly
eight years of added government
tai experience at the highest level
= tour of seasoning unmatched
in the nations history. All of us
know him as a man of integrity
and deep faith"
At another point, Eisenhower
said Its not my purpose tonight
to take off into oratorical orbit -
already we have a number of
senatorial hopefuls doing that,
each hoping to scramble into the
chair l shall soon vacate." Since
Nixon is unopposed for the Re-
publican nomination, the senator
ial hopefuls he gibed at could only
be Democrats.

quickly from Sen. Mike Mansfield

The letter IN" is certainly
