Star eEaa WritsR


II you have been harboring
the thought that the sure
way to riches Is via the
movie star route. you'd bet
ter cast that thought adrift.
Sure an Elizabeth Taylor
or o Marion Brando can
demand and get 81 million q
picture. Other stars can de-
mand and get almost equally
fantastic sums. These high
fees have been q matter of
concern for some time now.
Those most concerned, of
course, have been the movie
producers who have had to
pay the high salaries.
Some Of them have come
right out in the open to COM
plain publicly. One Of these is
Ross Hunter, who makes
those glossy, well = dressed
movies for and about women.
He had his say several weeks
back In Variety, the weekly
show business journal. after
Walter Nathan had stunned
him by saying he'd be happy
to play a supporting role In
THE Thrill of It All" for
100000.
"Tt Was an Insult"
This, MIR. Hunter declared,
was a prime example of the
exorbitant demands the ac-
tors are making these days.
1t was time, he suggested,
that producers got together
and put a ceiling on acting
fees.
Mr.. Nathan got around to
a reply this past week, in
the same forum. Variety
quotes him:
II felt that with the part
inconsequential to the core Of
the story-which l thought
was strictly featherweight
material anyway-it was an
insult. I knew 1t wasn't worth
100000 - 1t wasn't worth
more than $4,000. But II
you are offered a weak part,
you ask for q salary hike to
compensate for 1t.
"If somebody asked me to
carry a spear In Last Days
OF Pompeii' I'd say sure-for
$l50,000."
The Boss Dream
or the other Hunter sug-
gestion, Mr.. Nathan had
this to say to the interviewing
Variety mugg: That's always
the dream Of the boss-to set
his own limit on what his
workers can make. They think
$3.50 a week for an actor
would be Just fine. Fortu-
nately the system Of free
enterprise is still In effect.
There is still competitive bid
ding for talent"
The actor did not add, and
didn't have to add, that the
dream Of a salary ceiling is
a really wild one. No film
star holds a gun at a pro-
ducer's head to coax a fancy
fee out of him. II all the
producers got together. there
still would be one renegade
who would offer Liz Taylor
a million dollars for a movie.

u. S. AIDE ADMITS CAPITOL
CAN BE RATED SUBSTANDARD

An official of the General Accounting Office told
House subcommittee today that the United States Capitol
could be declared substandard and demolished under
present wban-renewal regulations.
Testifying before the House District Subcommittee
investigating urban renewal in Washington, Bernard S.
Sacks asked by the subcommittee chairman, Rep
resentative Dowdy Democrat of Texas:
what is a substandard building, according to the
Urban Renewal Administrations"
Mr. Sacks replied: I'VE don't know. The regulations
do not define it."
ION that basis would it not be possible to classify
the United States Capitol subsandard?" Mr. Dowdy
asked.
Mr. Sacks, a supervisory official who recently con-
Quoted survey of renewal activity in Cleveland for
GAO replied
"Conceivably the Capitol could be declared sub
standard under their regulations the basis that is
singlepurpose building the basis that there is
inadequate street layout. for example" he said. .

them back from a chase. yThey
followed a scent to two Of
ficers hiding in a shed.
Senator Byrd and his aides
watched in their shirtsleeves
the impromptu field trial on
the National Training School
for Boys grounds.
Series Of Visits
The visits were in a series the
Senator plans before he opens
Senate hearings on the city
budget, probably in August.
Earlier at District General
Hospital. the chairman of the
Senate District Appropriations
Subcommittee closely questioned
DR.. John c. Schultz, medical
director, on safeguards adopted
since thousands Of barbituates
we're found missing. An internal
audit last year found 10000
phenobarbital and 300 sodium
nembutal tablets unaccounted
for. averaged drugs also were
found.
Now, drugs are kept in a
locked area and carefully
checked in and out, DR.. Schultz
said.
Three Suspended
Three employees, one a nur-
ing supervisor, have been sus-
pended indefinitely without
pay, pending a complete inves-
tigation, DR.. Schultz said.
Nearly one-third of all drugs
that went out Of the hospital
were taken by the supervisor,
who was very highly regarded,
he volunteered.
This was in line with a past
administrators policy that hos
pital employees could receive
drugs for their own use when
they were sick. DR.. Schultz as
sured the Senator that the poll
cy had been changed. Now small
packaged drugs in locked cabi-
nets are available only during
emergencies.
He protested that a hand in
ventory Of $50O,O0O OF drugs
always could be unreliable. The
hospital needs attenuation, he
said.
Watches Operation
He took the Senator through
the hospitals operating rooms
-four crowded quarters off a
single corridor. The Senator
watched an operation on a
woman who was having a tu-
HUT removed.
There Is only one recovery
room, crowded with four beds,
for patients taken from operat-
ing tables. DR.. Schultz said as
many as eight have been in the
recovery room at the same
time.
Afterwards, Senator Byrd
said he was interested to learn
that the operating room is the
worst "bottleneck" Of the hos
pital. This was DR.. Schultz's
word for the cramped operat-
ing rooms. The lack of space
and the need for operations in
emergencies interrupts the
"flow Of patients" the doctor
said.

Piles of justice and charity"
The archbishop, who was to
speak on behalf of the city's
Tnterreligious Committee on
Race Relations of which he is
chairman, was one of approx
mately so witnesses scheduled
to appear at the hearing held
by the District Commissioners.
Purpose of the hearing was
to help the Commissioners de-
eide what type Of housing reg
ulation should be approved to
ban discrimination based on
race, color, religion or national
origin.
The Commissioners already
have agreed unanimously that
they will adopt a fair housing
ordinance unless Congress
blocks them.
Ordinance With Teeth
The archbishop said that a
fair housing regulation should
include a clear definition of the
discriminatory practices pro-
hibited, machinery for carrying
out and enforcing the ordi-
nance and penalties for viola
tors.
Two complete proposed anti
discrimination measures have
been submitted to the Commits
sioners for their consideration,
one by the city's legal office
and the other by the Lawyers
Committee on Fair Housing
Regulations, a group of local
attorneys.
Joseph Rauh, general counsel
for the United Automobile
Workers Of America, and Mon
roe Freedman, a law professor
at George Washington Univer-
sity, both members of the Law
yers' Committee on Fair Hous-
ing, sharply attacked the mea-
sure proposed by Chester Gray,
corporation counsel.
They centered their criticism
on a statement by Mr.. Gray
that the Commissioners have nc
authority to include a provision
for injunctive relief in the
regulations.
Mr.. Rauh, who is vice chail'-
man of the District Democratic
Central Committee, told the
Commissioners that you might
as well throw in the sponge If
you are going to follow Mr.
Gray's recommendations"
Questions Gray's Services
Mr.. Rauh said later in q
statement outside the hearing
room that otis time we had a
corporation counsel who says
what the Commissioners can
do instead of Mr.. Gray, who
is always suggesting what the
Commissioners can't do"
This raises the question
whether there is any value in
Mr.. Gray's services at this
time"
Mr.. Rauh's staten e n
brought into the open reports
that certain elements Of the
Democratic Central Commit
tee would like to see Mr.. Gray
replaced by another man in
the top position of the city's
legal office.
Backs Injunctive Remedy
Mr.. Freedman said that the
injunctive remedy for housing
discrimination is "of the es-
sence."
He explained that unless
the Commissioners have this
power a homeowner who has
been accused of discrimina-
ton could sell his house to
someone satisfactory to him
before the District could even
begin to attempt Cancellation
Explaining his opposition,
Mr.. Gray said:
II do not mean to imply
that one aggrieved by the dis
criminatory act of another is
precluded from seeking in
junctive relief on his own be-
half.

the letter encouraging District
individuals and organizations
to sign up for the march.
Specifically, the District Co.
ordinating Committee for the
march asked churches to offer
their facilities and services for
the demonstration.
Churches, organizations and
individuals are being asked to
provide lodging and meals for
as many persons as possible,
Mr.. Fauntroy said.
Even though we are stress
ing that this is a one-day DEM
onstration, some people who
come from afar probably will
arrive the night before and re-
main the night after the
march," Mr.. Fauntroy said. "In
cases like this, we hope to be
able to provide for their tenn
porary comfort. We are asking
that these services be offered
us by calling the Washington

Supporting Groups
All civic, religious, social,
fraternal, labor and neighbor-
hood groups desiring to par
ticipate in the march must ap-
ply for supporting status" Mr..
Fauntroy said. These requests
should be made to the District

"Only those citizens who are
pledged to non-violence as a
creative means of protest are
urged to participate in tn e
march," Mr.. Fauntroy empha-
sized.
A public orientation meeting
for all District area organiza-
tons participating in the
march has been scheduled fol-

The
Rambler
-. Longs for
A Dogs Life
BY JOHN McKELWAY


Periodically-it frequently
happens during periods of
high humidity--the Rambler
finds himself envious of vari-
Gus animals.
There is a fat squirrel, for
one, who has little trouble
coming down a tree and,
while causing much excite
ment and banging of screen
doors, is shortly fed pounds
of shelled peanuts. After
wards, he retires back up the
tree and, one supposes, en-
joys the summer breezes
which pass over those of us
who are grounded. At least
he never appears to be over
heated.
Sloths, while captured, al,
ways seem serenely con-
tented to. hang for hours,
upside down, at the Zoo.
Probably a fairly happy life.
Has one ever tried to break
out?
Now he wants to be a bull
dog named CheSty II, mas
cot of Marines stationed at
the Marine Barracks.
CheSty is only 2 years old
with only comfortable years
ahead of him.
Most of the time, he has

block of mysterious passage
ways, a soft lawn and many,
