pancy of the screen may,
and should, be a disappoint-
ment to those who go to see
Two Women" for this SEN
sational passage.
The film at the Apex is
an antiwar picture. 1t is
the work of the master of its
genre, Italy'S Vittorio de Sica.
He makes other kinds of
movies, gusty comedies such
as Gold of Naples" and hu-
man tragedies like "Umberto
D." dealing with the plight
of those who have lived be-
yond what is deemed the age
of usefulness.
All of De Sica's films are
memorable but the most
memorable are those which
find him inveighing with
striking eloquence against
wars dehumanization of
those caught up in it.
Most Memorable?
Of these, Two Women"
may well prove to be the
most memorable.
Based upon an Alberto
Moravia novel, from which
he has deleted a cruelty
ironic and negative ending,
De Sica's picture uses the two
women of his films title as
the narratives key victims.
AS played by Sophia Loren,
a mother, and Eleanora
Brown, her daughter, they
give the screenplay an alb
sorbing center.
Its reach, however. is far
more expansive than that
implicit in their personal
fateS.

I don't see anyone coming up

Jimmy Stewart, 81, is cur

burn? For some, there is no
replacement.
There are about 10 mascu-
line giants left. But they
can't appear in every picture,
though some of them try to
do their best to help the
producers - and themselves.
Cary Grant, for example,
rarely stops working. And it
isn't for the money. because
he is a millionaire many
times over. Cary always has
some project on hand. Cur
rently he is co-starring with
Doris Day in "A Touch of
Mink" When this is finished
he dashes to England to star
in a spy-thriller for his own
company with Stanley Donen.
Cary is 81; his hair is still
thick. but quite gray. For my
money he can play lover
roles until he's 80. But the
teen-age moviegoers may
have other ideas.

He has a ready answer for
people who cavil at such
treatment of the Nobel Prize
winners material The project
was started five years ago
with the knowledge and con-
sent of Hemingway, who back
in 1854 selected Hotchner as.
the sole adapter of his works
for television.
I'm not saying this is
pure Hemingway" Hotchner
points out. This is a rounded
play. 1t has a beginning, a
middle and an end. 1t isn't
just a set of excerpts. ~
1T also has a point of
view - and this is seen
through my glass"
For anyone who might
bubble about that, Hotch-
ner goes on:
Ernest gave me the clue
himself about how to do a
play.
He insisted ! that there
were elements in any situa-
ton for a story-if projected
in the right way-and that
it was the duty of a writer to
do that extending by always
approaching the situation
from his own point of view"
Always Same Hero
The play brings into focus
Hotchner's belief that Hem
ingway always wrote about
one man. regardless of his
alias in an individual MARIA
tive.
He is the youth Nick
Adams in the short stories.
In "A Farewell to Arms he
has grown up to be the lieu
tenant. The current flows on,
through For Whom the Bell
Tolls under Across the Riv-
er and into the Trees
1T is not simply because
each hero ages chronological
ly. There are cross-references
back and forth in all to the
previous works
The dramatist is using
THE Shows of Kilimanjaro'
and its protagonist. Harry
Davis, as the central sub
stance of his work. Il feel
that story is the prize of all
he wrote and comes as close
to being autobiography of
his own inner stuff as any,
thing he ever did"
Hotchner disagrees with
those who argue that Hem
ingway, whose life ended in
a shooting miShap July 2.
displayed inordinate preoc-
cupation with death m his
works.
"As a story writer he SIM
ply knew that every story
must end in death"
The playwright's associa-
ton with Hemingway began
in 1913 when he dlffidently
approached the literary lion
in his Cuban lair about do
ing some magazine articles.
Hemingway later engineered
a lengthy European sortie
for Hotchner ION the pretext
that it was the best way to
make sure a manuscript by
the master got delivered on
time and then deputized
him to do TV adaptations.

 US. acks Military Power Second to None in the World
By Whitney shoeznal<er

BY " 4144A4VX x = k<k&4 Zs1e4@s ss&< WASHINGTON M President Kennedy says the United States packs military power second tc none in ttsssse world and won't be fooled hy the Soviets into losing this strength.
 To maintain the US. position, he proposes:
 To seek additional money for defense next year.
 To keep steady eye on US. strength, intelligence and com mitnents in relation to the capa- Utilities of it's adversar;es.
 To get ready for nuclear tests in the atmosphere and to con- duct them if necessary.
 If was in connection with nu- clear test readiness that Kennedy declared Wednesday the, United States is determined not be maneuvered out Of position of power. He reminded his news conference that the Soviet Union prepared for it's current series of nuclear blasts while discussing a test ban over the conference table.
 If they fooled us Sace, it is their fault, Kennedy said, land if they fool us twice, it is our fault"
 Kennedy, who previously had signalcd rise in military ex- did not say how much he would ask Congress to appro- priate next year. The 1861 -62 de fense budget, increased $6 bill lion since he took office in Janu- ary, is about SAT billion.
 This was Kennedy's 18th Presi- dential news conference his first in nearly month. 1t ran for about a half hour and was light ened by flashes of hurnor. While it produced nothing especially new, it gave the President d chance to express his views on many things rum military power to recent Democratic tri- urnphs at the polls.
 He is reluctant, Kennedy said, to predict the future results on the basis of past elections. But had Mayor Robert Wagner of New York, ov.-elect Richard Hughes of New Jersey and Rep. .-elect Henry Gonzalez of Texas lost, he said, cit would have been inter preted as stunning setback for his administration. So he said he would break his rule and say their victories were a "source of satis- faction to us"
 Kennedy replied with vigor when questioner said some people rgard the views of Prime Minister Nehru of India as tend- ing to be proc Communist.

Guilty in Second
Obscenity Case

Hermann. Womack, o former
philosophy instructor, pleaded
guilty in District Court today
to conspiring to send obscene
advertisements and pictures
through the mail.
The guilty plea came after a
decision this morning by the
United States Court Of Appeals
affirming Womack's conviction
In District Court last March on
similar charges.
Womack, 38, Of the 1900
block of Eighteenth street NE,
and Alfred J. Heinecke, As. Of
Lakewood. N. j.. went on trial
yesterday in the latest case.
Both were charged with viola
ton of laws banning lewd
matter from the mails in q
Z9-count indictment.
Womack, however. pleaded
guilty only to the first count
relating to conspiracy. The trial
Of Heinecke is being continued
before o District Court jury
with Judge Alexander Holtzoff
presiding.
During Womack's trial last
March his attorney tried to
establish that the material
mailed to a list Of 10000 pro-
spective clients did not appeal
to any morbid interest in
nudity"

Judge e. Barrett Prettyman,
said that the material actually
mailed by DR.. Womack had mo
