If Fondos Want to Act,
HenryWon'tStop Them

Sar and I don't recall her
having any theatrical ambi-
tons.
"a couple Of years later,
though, when we spent the
summer at Hyannis Port,
Jane asked whether she could
join the apprentice group at
the Playhouse there. She
had met Lee Strassberg and
wanted to study under him"
Fonda, veteran of nearly
rs Hollywood feature pic
lures, said he was now-as
events have turned out de-
lighted that his son and
daughter had chosen the act
ing profession.
They certainly knew all
along the obstacles and the
advantages" he laughed.

at the studio I often brought
them home with me-"
Stage Satisfies
Although he has mellowed
substantially in late years,
the Nebraska born Fonda,
who will be 81 May 16, was
once a firebrand on the
sound stages. Developed by
the famed Omaha Commu-
nifty Playhouse and a sudden
star on Broadway in "The
Farmer Takes a Wife," Hank
came to Hollywood in a mood
to dispute conventional film
land acting and directing
methods.
While conceding that the
money is much better in
Hollywood, Fonda gets inner
satisfaction, he says, out of
his stage performances, which
have always excelled those
he has delivered for the
screen. Presently he's in the
midst Of his most daring
New York footlights project:
the star role of q career
dying writer in Carson
Kanin's play, THE Gift of
Life"
He was so fascinated by
the script that he could bare
ly wait to finish his part
in "The Longest Day" before
getting in his practice licks.
1t was therefore a terrible
disappointment when the
show opened to bad reviews
and q Shaky box office.

HOLLYWOOD. - "Once
their children have been Bit
ten by the acting bug. there
isn't much parents can-or
should-do." sighed Henry
Fonda. who has gone through
two sessions Of the kind.
The Fonda offsprings. Jane
and Peter, are making their
way in the theater and in
movies and Papa Henry
doesn't feel that he could
have stopped them. But he
can't recall encouraging
them.
"If young people really
want to do something, they
must try it and parents had
better not take too firm a
stand against their wishes"
he said. "All we can do is
hope they have the intelli-
gence to realize themselves
whether they have the talent
or are lacking.
IF they can't size up their
own ability, if they go en-
even though obviously unable
to make the grade, then
that's where it gets bad
very bad. I know a lot of
actors with little talent
who've been knocking around
for years, but won't give up.
They just can't face up to
themselves"
The Longest War
Fonda, who says he'd
rather talk about his kids
than about himself, recently
finished the role Of Brig.
Gen. Theodore Roosevelt in
Daryl Zanuck's THE Longest
Day." 1t was a real long ses-
sion, too, Henry admits. Some
of the scenes were done on
the lie de Re. off LaRochelle,
on the west coast of France.
There were many tedious
Interruptions and delays.
1T was quite an expert
ence," Fonda said. 81 was in
the scene in which they re-
created Utah Beach on in
vasion day, II years ago.
Roosevelt, who was the as
sistant commander Of the 4th
Division, became a hero there.
"I felt like a hero, too. I.
had to Jump into the ice-cold
water from the landing craft
and wade ashore. That
would have been okay, but
the ramp didn't come down
at the exact right spot on
the first try. I jumped out and
went under up to my helmet.
We did that one over again!"
Together on Stage
Although there haven't
been two Fondas In the same
movie or the same Broadway
play, father and daughter
have been on the stage to-
gether.
Jane Fonda, 81, and fea-
tured in the filming Of THE
Chapman Report" showed no
particular interest in acting
when a youngster, Fonda re-
called.

The Senator From Arizona

Few orators who have graced the
well of the United States Senate have
been the peers of Henry Fountain Ash
urst, who died here yesterday at the
age of ST. Never at a loss for words,
indeed any number of words, the former
Arizona cowboy was one of those who
could draw full house both on the floor
and in the galleries whenever he rose
to speak. In was not so often what he
said, it was the way he said tin
phrases replete with color, humor, wis
dom and quotations from the classics
that assured Mr.. Ashurst an always
rapt audience.
With all this, the courtly Arizonan
was gentleman from top to toe-baSi-
cally modest, always courteous and in
variably charming. He loved the Senate,
and so declared on many occasions
during his nearly 80 years service in
that distinguished body. He fitted it
well, and with it the whole broad polit-
ical stage of the Nations Capital. 1t
was our pleasure, as it was his, that he
stayed with Us during his many years
of retirement.

these books, but has moved now to do
so as quickly as possible. As a first
step, every textbook in use will be sur
veyed by name and date of publication.
These data then will be reviewed by the
department head in charge of each
subject to decide which books are unfit
for use. The determination in all cases
will not be easy. For age alone lin such
subjects as the languages, for example)
is not necessarily an indication of
obSoleScence.
In any event the survey results
have been promised in about two weeks
This is not report, however, which
should be rushed. If more time is needed
to make certain of the results, the
superintendent should not hesitate to
ask for it. Nor, in our opinion, should
Senator Humphrey base his campaign
for higher school book appropriations,
as there are some indications he might,
on specified expenditure per student
The extent of the need should be left
to the school officials who are in the
best position to determine it.

Obsolete Books

Carl F. Hansen, the superintendent
of District schools, has argued con-
vincingly during the last few years that
adequate education depends upon the
placement of basic textbooks in the
hands of every student. It is evident
from the revelations of Senator Hum
phrey of Minnesota, however, that
school officials have too lightly CLOSED
over the even more basic matter of the
adequacy of the textbooks at hand.
We hope that the obsolescent books
which the Senator obtained from a
number of Washington schools are ex-
ceptionS to the rule. But whether they
are few or many, biographies which
teach that airplaneS are gradually con-
quering the EARTH" or which picture the
conditions existing in Latin America As
years ago, belong in the waste basket
and the sooner they get there, the better.
To his credit, Dr. Hansen has not
tried to excuse the failure to weed out

New Downtown Library

1t is disappointing that the District
budget requests now being considered by
Congress do not include funds to buy a
site for a new Central Library. Even
more difficult to understand is why this
project has not been restored to the
long-range city program of public works.
The need to replace the obsolete
and overcrowded library at Mount Yer
non Square with a new facility, at a
location that would encourage rather
than discourage its maximum use, has
been accepted for at least three decades.
This need has been further documented
by the exhaustive consultant study for
which Congress appropriated money
two years ago. Perhaps one reason for
the inertia of the past was the lack of
a clear and forceful relocation plan
Now that is changed. Agreement was
reached more than a year ago that
the new library should be located In
the heart of the downtown shopping
and business section, not only as con-
venience to library users, but to aid the
effort to revitaliZe the entire central
area. Working closely with Downtown
Progress, library officials have reached
conclusions on suitable sites which
would enable them to move ahead with
the acquisition of land as soon as the
money is available.
The unfortunate thing is that even
If the money were provided today, five
years probably would elapse before the
new Central Library could open for
business, during which time the severity
of the current deficiencies would con-
tinue to increase. 1t is a shameful fact
that the Central Library Of the Nations
Capital is the smallest and most over
crowded of any city of comparable size
in the country. Unless Congress should
choose to act on its own volition, how
ever, even the initial step Of site acqui-
sition will be delayed for at least
another year. In that event, the Com
missioners should restore this project
to the public works program immedi-
ately, and grant 1T priority considera-
ton in the preparation Of the next
budget request.

Still Indecisive

Apparently the District Zoning
Commission still is not fully convinced
that it should grant the rezoning re-
quired for the Watergate Towne project
in Foggy Bottom. 1t is hard to under
stand what further evidence its mem
bers need to help them make up their
minds.
The White House, in an official
letter, has scotched the rumors that
it is concerned about the development.
The Fine Arts Commission, after an
agonizing reappraisal of its own, agreed
last week to withdraw its objections,
with stipulation that buildings on no
more than Is per cent of the site will
reach height Of 100 feet. While making
clear that the commission wants to re-
view the redeSigned sketches, Fine Arts
Chairman David E. Finley said he saw
mo reason" to delay the rezoning de-
cision while the new plans are being
drawn.
In It's own statement, the Zoning
Commission has been less fortnight.
On the one hand it has seemed to
indorSe the coming changes. On the
other it has reserved final Judgment
until 1t, too, sees the revised drawings.
Thus, while the developers spend more
money on yet another set of plans,
degree Of uncertainty continues to
hang over the project and it is high
time that this uncertainty be ended.

Ready for Business

Those OF us who saw or read OF
the damage wrought by the $300-mil-
lion Worcester which hit the Atlantic
seaboard on March and z will find
it hard to believe that most Of the hard
hit resorts are ready to open for bust
ness for the new season, just beginning.
From the Jersey coast beaches to the
Carolina Outer Banks, the worst scars
of the storm have been obliterated.
Streets once filled with sand and debris
are now clear, boardwalks have been or
are being repaired or replaced; damaged
hotels, business places and homes have
been rebuilt, where feasible, and the
summer influx of vacationers already
has started.
In short, near-miraculous trans
formation has occurred since the worst
Atlantic blow in recent memory devaS-
tated miles of shoreline properties. OF
course, some homes and other buildings
disappeared under the unprecedented
impact of the Storm-many Of them
never to reappear, at least in the same
locations But where reconstruction was
possible, the hardy and undismayed res
idents Of such resorts as Ocean City,
Md, Rehoboth and Bethany Beach, Del,
and Virginia Beach modified their
forces and resources and went to work
with will. There was, of course, timely
help from the Federal and State govern
mentS, both financially and in the en-
cheering and construction fields. Even
missing dunes and sand for the beaches
have been restored in some areas.
We pay our respects to the seaShore
resorts for their quick recovery from
one of natures more destructive forayS
and we hope that the new season will
bring them better than-usual business
and prosperity.

Apprehensive Booster

Premier KhruShchev'S bid for a new
international trade organization and his
blast at the European Common Market
are something more than propaganda
stunts. Mr.. KhruShchev is clustering.
as usual, and in this case because his
imprisoned Communist economies are
not doing well by comparison with those
OF the capitalist free-enterprise system.
On one hand, he would like in-no
doubt on terms which would benefit
only his own Straitjacketed economies.
On the other hand, he would like most
OF all to torpedo the Common Market
to halt its impressive growth in eco
nomic strength and to forestall its
progress toward West European polit-
ical union that would tower over his
uneasy satellite empire.
1t is not surprising that Mr..
KhruShchev made his pitch while re-
ceiving a delegation from the Mali Re-
public Of Africa, onetime French ter
ritory. For the Treaty of Rome, under
which the Common Market was created,
contains express provisions that African
states which were Western colonies or
United Nations trust territories at the
time OF the treaty signing in 1857 are
assured Of tariff preferences, price sup
ports on certain of their products and
access to the European community out
let. Ministers of the Common Market
countries reaffirmed this provision last
December and signed agreements with
16 African states guaranteeing these
trade advantages.
With typically exaggerated misrep-
resentation, the Soviet Premier describes
this arrangement as a new form Of
collective colonialism" designed to
subordinate the African countries to a
role Of "agrarian and raw material ap-
pendages Of former metropolitan coun-
tries" He would, of course, prefer that
they become appendages of Communist
imperialism.
Tt is Mr.. KhruShchev who has
boosted loudest and most often about
the competence of communism in eco
nomic competition. The worldwide re-
turns thus far do not bear out his
confidence, and his latest words in Mos
COW merely betray his apprehensions.

THE PASSING SCENE
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE
The Economy's Lost Generation

Speaking OF Wall Street
and all that, the most Sensi-
tive economic factor Of all
Is never mentioned In writ

This Factor K Is Middle
aged American Male. Old
enough to recall In the most
personal way the great de-
preston Of the 30s, he is for
ever marked by his memo
ries and forever scared by
his nightmare. He Is like an

exactly what he is, tool who

All the same. by and large
1t is Middle-aged American
Male who largely controls in
vestment in this country. He
represents that class which
has the most money and the
most Of management. His
state Of morale is thus at the
vital center of our business
affairs. The point of special
delicacy, to put it as gently
as possible. is that his re-
sponSes to any break in stock
prices, large or small, are
likely to be ridden by an
anxiety that is irrationally
keen.
Economic Combat Fatigue
Let him hear that the tick
er tape is running is min
utes behind and his mind, in
spite of himself. begins to
cry havoc, even If his voice
does not. For, you see, he is
suffering from mic
combat fatigue, and will un-
til he dies. Bluntly, it is q
pity, for all these reasons,
that he does so largely con-
troll our economic affairs.
For his counsel is usually the
counsel of extreme timidity.
And his view. in spite Of him
self. is the view Of a man
who knows too well what it
is to be hit by shrapnel.
