Restoration and mainte-
nance of the historic furnish
ingS at the White House is
costing the taxpayers $165, 900
this year.
That does not include the
value of some $40 historic
pieces donated to the execu-
tive mansion, estimated at
some $4,000.
Nor does it include any ex-
Henditures President and
Mrs. Kennedy may have
made from his Federal pay
check of 100000 a year or
from his Federal expense &C
count of $4,000 a year.
The taxpayers part of the
tab, however, is expected to go
down to $4,000 annually in
the fiscal year starting next
July.
The budgetmakers figure
the project, displayed recently
in a nationwide television
program, will cost the Urea
sury about $4,000 a year as
long as the First Family
keeps it going.
ClOSed-DoOr Hearings
These details were provided
to a House Appropriations
Subcommittee behind closed
doors by T. Sutton Jet, re-
gional director of the National
Park Service. The service has
taken over budgetary respon-
sibility for the mansion and
its 18 acres of grounds.
Jet informed the Congress-
men that a museum exhibit
is to be established along the
entrance corridor to the pub
lie rooms of the White House.
Visitors, which numbered
almost 100000 last year,
will be able to view the ex-
hibit while waiting to tour
the mansion.
The household budget for
the White House runs to
$658,000 for the next fiscal
year.
For the current year, the
Congress first provided $685.
900, and then added $165, 900
to take care of the refurbish-
ing project.
Budget Goes Up
Back in the 1866 fiscal
year, the budget was $780,
200, but increasing costs of
such things as domestic help
and laundry kept the total
up. In the last year the ten

HOLLYWOOD.-"I was in

apartment houses, said Larry
Parks, when John Huston
called me and said, don't
shave And this is how I
learned that I would play a
starring role in his picture,
Freud with Montgomery
Cliff and SuSannah York"
And thus Larry's 10-year
Hollywood film drought was
ended. He had made a picture
two years ago in England, but
that was a British job. Freud,
while filmed in Munich and
Vienna, was strictly a Holly
wood production, for Uni
verSal- international.
Parks had been at the
height Of movie fame, follow
ing "The Jolson Story" in 1948
when congressional investi-
cations, and appearances
before the Un-American Ac-
Invites Committee eliminated
several active Hollywood
careers, Parks among them.

work. has ever been NOM
mated before. A complete
shutout for the old-timers,
especially such habitual WIN
ners as William Wyler ("The
Children's Hour") and Billy
Wilder cone, Two, ThreeO.
Whose then will be the
new face at the podium on
the night Of April 9? The
others nominated are Mr..
Kramer for Judgment"
Signor Fellini for La Dolce"
]. Lee Thompson for "Nava-
rone," and Robert Rossen for
"The Hustler"
A jolly tight duel this could
be, with Fellini not a bad
bet in a ry-old-chap-
about your picture-not-be-
ing-nominated mood. Yet,
Kramer is a better one,
especially if Judgment" of
which Hollywood is so proud,
happens to be the best picture.
And Where's Deborah?
If it were not at the mo-
ment pretending to be above
a how-come attitude toward
Hollywood. this department
would ask it of Deborah
Kerr'S being overlooked as
best actress for her role in
1.-THE Innocents"? But there
for the first time in years,
Deborah is not, leaving one
with the solace that the win
ner very likely will be Audrey
Hepburn.
She could very we'll win for
her Holly Golighty high
comedy portrait in Break
fast at Tiffany's." Sheer
glitter all the way, this por-
trait was, which, looking
backward a few paragraphs,
raises the question:
If this comedy performance
is so devastating, how come
that comedy frolic of Gag
ney's in "One, Two, Three"
did not get on the male star
performance ballot?
There simply are no an
swerS to these questions ex-
cept the final one on the

that a Stanley Kramer pic

That Hollywood! Always
showing off. Especially at
Academy awards nomination
time when, after that
euphemism, due considera-
tion." it reveals its sur
prises.
These, which are never
really numerous, are Holly
woods rebuttal of the charge
that it is drearily practicable,
conformist, and those other
disdainable things.
They have their uses,
mostly having to do with
adding Zest to the nominal
tons when the naughty rest
Of the country thinks it has
read the Hollywood mind.
The funny thing about Holly
woods surprises is that they
are usually on the negative
side, omissions, oversights,
lapses of memory. Or, worst
Of all, lapses of taste.
It's Not Wasted
Even these have their
worth, however. 1t puts the
rest of the country in a mood
that is summed up in the
words: How come?
How come, for instance,
