HOLLYWOOD, NANA-
Greta Carlo, who was thwarted
in her attempt to turn her
French Riviera hideaway into
a fortress. will try again in the
spring. She surrounded the
place with barbed wire, in
cluding the Mediterranean side.
But the sea is considered as
belonging to the people. And
Greta was ordered to keep that
side unbarbed. 1t occurs to me
that If Greta really wants to
be alone she should do nothing
about it. The more you do, the
more conspicuous you become.

pies money? M-G-Ms on
Ben Hur," for instance.
1t already has passed its
first million at the boxofhce,
its second in advance sales for
future performances. This fiS-
cal feat is reported in a memo
from Oscar Doob, the longtime
New Yorker who lives here in
retirement except when MGM
summons him back to promote
15-million dollar pictures.
With everyone predicting
that Ben Hur" will be the
most profitable movie Of all
time-say a 50-million dollar
one against its 15-million dol
lar coSt-Mr. Doob continues:
What makes the record so re-
markable is that the picture is
playing in only IL theaters and
for so short a time. The IL
theaters now showing Ben
Hur' have a total of '15,264
seats, all of which have been
occupied at virtually every per-
formance."
MIR. Doob sounds like a man
who is happy at the prospect
of being back soon in his
comfortable retirement out on
Massachusetts, avenue. He
paints when he has the time.

D. Golden. AS head of the
Scientific, Motion Picture and
Photographic Products Division
of the Department Of CON-
merce, Mr.. Golden is the Of
fetal scorekeeper on movies in
America. His figures are not
merely comprehensive, they
also have a flnality that is
lacking in Miss Lollobrigida's,
Marilyn's, and those other box
Office figurines. At least at their
present ages.
Mr.. Golden starts of on a
cheerful note, namely by point
ing out that movie attendance
increased last year - for the
first time in many years. Re
ceipts at boxof1ces reached an
estimated one billion, two
hundred million dollars. This
compares with one billion, one
hundred and sixty-eight mil
lion in 1858.
This is fine, a few million
dollars more never hurt any
industry. But there is ground
for a Tut! Tut!", or some
similarly mild reproof, maybe
a little farther on among the
statistics. These show there
was a drop of some so films in
terms of feature production in
1859. This irked neighborhood
movie owners and operators
who had to scrounge for pic
lures, but these are our words,
not Mr.. Golden's. His were
silky and tactful.
ARE YOU STILL THERE?
The figure that always sur
prises us urbaniteS is more
surprising than ever this year
Urbanites, who fly from one
urb to another and otherwise
live tight to the hearts of cities,
almost never see a drive-in
theater.
Every year, there are more
and more of these, Mr.. Gold
ems scoreboard shows. Let's
go back a bit, to 1854, when
there were 1850 movie thea
tiers in this country. At that
time, only 3,779 Of these were
drive-ins. Loosely speaking, this
was a ratio of about five to
one in favor of rooted theaters.
In 1859, there we're some 10000
places exhibiting movies Of
which 4,700 were drive-ins. This
is getting close to one in three
which enables drive-ins-now
equipped with heaters and op-
Grating the year around-to ac-
count for one-fourth of the
gross box-office receipts.
One more figure: The stead
lily upward trend in movie
earnings since 1857, put the in
dustry about 7 per cent ahead
by 1859, with the promise Of a
still better gain in 1860.

SEWARD-O E. Darling, presi- dent of the Brown & Hawkins Commercial Company, spoke out here vehemently against the up- coming referendum for moving the capital from Juneau. He brand ed the move as being economical ly, sociologically and morally wrong and charged the perpetrat- ors of the petition with creating an economic vacuum within the state that is doing it great harm.
 Darling said, Certainly if our new state can raise any spare funds they should first be plowed back into projects that benefit the economy of the state as whole and help us to unlock some of the natural resources"

Fishing Derby
 For Youngsters

A Safety Fishing Derby, open to youngsters from both the Naval Station and town, will be held on the Naval Station on Armed Forces Day, May 21, according to an announcement made this week by Mrs. Fly Stanton, who produces the Safety Lady" program on AFRS-TV.

2 Time Offender Lands In Jail

The Deputy Magistrate meted out heavy fines this week in court, with one culprit appearing twice for the same offenSe.
 Three men were fined $100 and sentenced to 30 days on drunk charges. These were George Neke- feroff, Peter TripetZian and Char lie Christianson. The latter at his first appearance in court was fined $1OO and his jail sentence suspend ed. On his second appearance he was given a 30 day sentence.
 Others arrested were William Wolkoff, on a similar charge, who forfeited his bail of $25. Two charged with being drunk and dis orderly, Frank L. Holmes and Earl L. Hicks, were fined $75 and sen fenced to 30 days, the latter sus- pended.
 One other, Leigh Niblock, was sentenced to 30 days, which was suspended, when he appeared be- fore the court on an assault and battery charge.

cent per dollar, it was pointed out. That reflects an operating ratio of 99432o, including wages $8,970,- 251, fuel $746,397, ship supplies 71,115, repairs and maintenance $252,O78, insurance $77O,797, other operating expenses $2, ,429966, gen. eral administrative expense and depreciation $2,345, ,342 and federal and state taxes of $107075.
 "The 10 per cent rate increase that became effective January 10, 1860 does not appear to be ade- quate to lift earnings from this depressed position" Skinner said.
 Off-season operations in the Alasak trade normally reflect losses since about 70qo of the an nual traffic moves between April l and September 30. However, losses for the first quarter this year are approximately $331, 300 against $316,1OO for the first quarter of 1859, an increase of about $16, ,O00
 Mounting operating costs, not withstanding progressive improve ments in shipping methods, were described as the source of trouble.
 Alaska Line directors were re- minded that the company, further more, faces new wage reviews in 1860 with both sea-going and shore side unions, representing men who are already 'the highest paid mari time workers anywhere"
 "To continue to maintain a we'll balanced service to all Alaskan areas, we must experience a sub stantial increase in tonnage during the next six months and/or a reversal of the trend in operating costs" Skinner said.

Profits from Alaska Steamship Company's Alaska operation for the year 1859 amounted to only S92,64 after federal and state taxes, D. E. Skinner, president of the line, reported at the firms annual directors meeting last week.
 Gross revenue for the year totaled $16, ,185,665 on which the return was less than 6/10 of a

Crisis in Laos
By the Associated Press

The State Department yes
terday rushed its top Far East
expert to crisis-ridden Laos and
three other Southeast Asian
countries for a round of con-
situations during the next two
weeks.
j. Graham Parsons, assistant
secretary Of state for Far East
ern affairs and former United
States Ambassador to Laos, left
by military plane for talks with
United States Ambassadors in
Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and
Wet Nam.
He was accompanied by John
N. Irwin, II, assistant secretary
Of defense in charge of military
assistance.
Mr.. Parsons and Mr.. Irwin
left shortly after the United
States temporarily held up its
big military support program
for Laos.
Camb0dian Move
A new critical element was
injected into the situation by
the announcement of Prince
Norodom Sihanouk of neigh
boring Cambodia that he was
relinquishing once again his
job as head of government for
that neutralist country.
The developments in both |
Laos and Cambodia have Shak-
en- the pro-WeStern govern
ments Of Thailand and South |
Wet Nam. Both fear that If |
Laos should Succumb to strong |
Communist pressure their own
security would be severely COM
promised. 81
A high United States official
said the United States policy
toward Laos now is to rally |
strength to those persons in
authority who will resist Com
munist pressure.

Of the confused situation now
existing in Laos United States
financial support for the 3O,-
00O-man army and for the gov
ernment's budget had been
held up for the month Of Sep
tember.
United States officials are n
not expecting Mr.. Souvanna
Phouma to turn to the Rus
slams for financial aid. But the
situation is q critical one for
the Laotian government which
depends on the United States
for about 80 per cent Of its
budgetary support.

Explanation Due

1t is not necessary to indorSe Sen
ator Dodd's extravagant criticisms in
order to agree that the President owes
the country better explanation of his
refusal to reappoint william r. Connole
to the Federal Power Commission.
Mr.. Connole's service, especially his
work in behalf of the consumers, has
been creditable. We know of nothing
which reflects on his character or in
tegrity. Yet Mr.. Eisenhower refused to
reappoint him, curtly explaining that he
could find "a better man" The Presi-
dents choice as replacement, Thomas
j. Donegan, apparently has a good rec
ord. But there is nothing in that record
which specially qualities him for FPC
service, and certainly there is nothing
which indicates that he would be bet
ter commissioner than Mr.. Connole.
The President, of course, cannot be
compelled to give his reasons for the
Donegan nomination. But, in the cir
cumstances of this case, we think the
Senate would be fully justified in trying
to find out precisely why Mr.. Donegan
is "a better man." or, to state it in the
alternative, exactly why Mr.. Connole
was given the gate.

child in crib or on the fioor~or in a
high chair who acted as though he were
suffering from ennui. On the contrary,
the ones we have had any experience
with seemed intensely interested in
everything, from tasting the paint on
the crib or chair to standing on their
heads or trying to stick their heads
through the bars on the playpen or
striving to pull the tablecloth on the
nearby table. Sometimes they succeeded,
and never did we discern so much as a
hint of boredom in their expressions of
delight on those occasions.
They sucked their thumbs, too, of
course, but only when they were think
ing up some new scheme to upset the
household. The only bored child we
ever knew, in fact, was one who had run
out Of ideas and energy But he did not
stay bored very long.
