the doubt that a girl, even
one as lovely and as sighted
by her husband as Miss Manx,
could be taken in by so preda-
tory an intruder as the man
stalking her. Actually, in the
mind Of at least one moviegoer
the doubt is never completely
resolved.
Nevertheless. to the credit
of both Miss Manx and Actor
Allen, the performances come
close to their elusive purpose.
The young wife she plays is in
nately a decent human being,
quick with her sympathy for
the underdog, instantly ready
with her trust for the fellow
human in need of pity. AS for
Aliens young man, his witness

excellenceS, contribute vastly
to the dramatic effectiveness
of Private Property" One OF
these is Ted McCord's photog-
raphy, so trinity and attrac-
lively in contrast to the

The other is an eerie, icy
musical score which intensifies
the judiciously mixed moods of
Mr.. Stevens duel between good

Senator Morse today called
on the Senate Labor Subcom-

tions against picketing by
building trades unions.
The Oregon Democrat indi-
Gated he will make a formal
motion to that effect when the

His move would be designed to
thwart delaying tactics being

man Kennedy, Democrat Of
Massachusetts,, has pledged to
get the bill to the Senate floor
for a vote before adjournment.
Even if Senator Morse's plan
to curtail hearings prevails,
chances are slim for getting a
Senate vote on the bill through
normal processes. Senator Ken
nedy, who did not attend to-
days subcommittee hearing. is
considering bringing the bill
up as a floor amendment to
some House e-pasSed measure.
C. ]. Haggerty, president of
the AFL-CIO Building and

ended at 10 am. when Senator
Goldwater objected to the SUBJ

contractors are scheduled to
