For Interest on
Stadium Debt

The District has dispatched
a request for a s415,S00 Treas
ury Department loan to meet
an interest payment on the
new stadium'S bond issue due
Friday.
1t moved yesterday after the
Armory Board, which operates
the stadium, alerted the Com
miSsioners it does not have the
money because Of heavier than
expected construction costs.
The boards need for finan-
cial help came as a surprise to
the Commissioners, who ear
lier had been told the stadium,
which opened october /, would
pay for itself the first year.
Further Deficits Seen
The board also warned it
would need a similar loan next
winter to meet the second in
terest payment. due December
l. on the stadium's $19.8 mil
lion bond issue.
The city's request is for a
short term interest bearing
loan which must be repaid
about July /. 1868.
The Commissioners said they
have to borrow because they
were not notified of the sta
dium deficit in time to seek
a congressional appropriation.
Armory Manager Arthur
Dutch) Bergman also issued a
report showing the stadium
faces a $617, 1000 annual deficit.
This is the difference between
the 1881, 900 annual interest
payments and estimated annual
stadium earnings Of $214,500.
Depends on Teams
Mr.. Bergman said the only
chance for the deficit to go
down is for the baseball and
football teams to make more
money. 'If they make more
money than we anticipate. we
will have to pay less" he said.
Mr.. Bergman added the sta
dium operates like a business
firm.
''No one expects a new busi-
ness to make a profit until it
operates for two, three or five
years." he said.

Foreign Visitors to U. S.
Increasing This Year

has been involved in only cne
controversy. Some Britons have
complained that the services
advertising gives an unrealistic
picture of United States travel
costs. The ad campaign in
Britain has featured a claim
that foreigners can tour. the
United States on $98 a week,
a figure the agency defends.
Establishment of the service
was an innovation in Federal
activities, although many for
eign countries have supported
official travel services for many
years. Before creation of the
service, the United States
ranked 23d among 25 leading
countries in public and private
spending to promote foreign
travel. Even the Congo spent
three times more than the
United States, while Russian
outlays were 20 times greater.

The fledgling United States
Travel Service, claiming an
initial success in Turing foreign
tourists to American shores,
reports the number of visitors
from abroad increased 13 per
cent early this year.
The Travel Service said yes
terday that 97.802. foreigners
visited the United States in the
first three months of 1864
This figure, which excluded
visitors from Canada and Mex
leo, compared with 86,597 in
the same months last year.
Congress created the Travel
Service in an effort to reduce
the tourist gap" and ease the
gold dollar problem. The
agency has a budget Of $2.5
million for the fiscal year end
ing June 30 ana seeks $4.2 mil
lion Tor next year.
The official Government
campaign to entice foreigners
to travel a new world" is
seen as a potentially important
factor in reducing the United
States balance of payments
deficits.
Added to Deficit
In 1861 spending here by for
eign visitors totaled $1.1 billion
compared with $2.2 billion spent
by Americans travelling abroad.
This gap added to the payments
deficit, which balances all
United States spending and
lending overseas against the
lesser amount spent here by
foreigners.
The Travel Service believes
its ''Visit USA" program was
responsible in good measure for
the increase in foreign visitors
early this year. And officials
are optimistic that even greater
gains can be made. .

THE PASSING SHOW
BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Critic of The Star

The Old Vic company at
the National theater turns
this week from the CORY vio-
lence of its Macbeth" to the
moral duelling of Shaw's
Saint JOAN"
This is the way life and
art 60 with great repertory
companies and while those
who missed it can rue the
recess from Macbeth" those
who did not can easily un-
derstand the player groups
need for a rest.
Another thing made clear
by this violent version of
Macbeth" is why it remains
so persistently in the Old Vic
schedule, and has done so for
the last Is years. It belongs
there. not because it is time
less but because it can nev-
er have been more timely

World War II. More, it

litter the news.
It's ASSurnabIe
There is no formal word to
confirm that Director Mich
ael Benthall took his inspira-
ton for the current Old Vic's

headlines. Yet there is plenty
of evidence in it's staging

cialist in "Macbeths," may
have been profoundly influ-
enced by the epidemic of po-
litical barbarity.

HOLLYWOOD. - No one
quite knows how to define
it. Either you have it - or
YOU don't. Publicity, ever try
ing, can't manufacture it.
Over the years Hollywood
has labeled it IT." "Oomph,"
Sex Appeal" THAT Magic
Quality" and a dozen other
things.
Whatever it is, Nancy Kwan
has it - and she uses it
where it counts.
In person, Nancy is demure,
petite in the best traditions
of her Chinese and English
parentage. She is pretty but
no Elizabeth Taylor. AS Eu-
rasian beauty goes, one might
even say that in person she
is only a little above average.
But when cameras turn
and lights go up, it's some
thing else again.
She's Hong Kong's answer
to Marilyn Monroe.
With Little Help
All of this is accomplished
with little outward help -
maybe a little eye shadow
and lipStick. In person, Nancy
seldom wears makeup.
But it's what's inside that
counts.
Nancy's Hollywood story is
the Chinese version of Gin
derella - but no starry
eyed Cinderella is Nancy.
The daughter of a wealthy
Hong Kong architect, she en-
joys every minute of her
orbit in the Hollywood stellar
system.
But she is not the least
bit awestruck by it.
II like acting. I like the
artistic challenge but I hate
premieres and big parties
and that's what a lot of Hol-
lywood is"
Barely out of a convent
school, she met producer Ray
Stark by chance In a Hong
Kong studio her father was
designing.
Stark was there looking
for his "Suzie Wong" He
brought Nancy to Hollywood
for three months training in
the role. 1t was her first taste
of dramatics.
But when the role was
cast, Stark gave it to France
Nuyen who had created it on
the stage.
Naturally, I was disap-
pointed. I almost quit and
went home to Hong Kong"
Nancy recalls. But Mr.. Stark
soothed me by making me
one of the Yum Yum girls
and an understudy to France
on the stage"
When France went to Lon
don and Hong Kong to shoot
the picture, Nancy was sent
on the road with a touring
company. This time she
played "Suzie Wong"
When a million dollars was
spent on the movie, a long
brewing feud between Miss
Nuyen and Stark erupted
into International headlines.
The producer fired France
and along with her, Director
Jean Negulesco. Feuds are
famous and chronic in the
movies but never had any
producer allowed one to cost
him a million.
Inside Story
A highly reliable source
gives this insiders view of
Vhe feud.
France was great on
Broadway in the part but
she also had a reputation for
being difficult. I believe Josh
Logan called her impossible.
She came to London and
Hong Kong in the midst of
romance with Marion Bran
do. The separation made her
unhappy. Then came reports
of Marion being seen along
the SunsetlStrip with another
Oriental beauty.
France got increasingly
difficult. She went on an
eating binge. I sat beside her
one night while she downed
