 Is Multiple Threat Man

Peter Ustinov, winner of an Academy Award for the best sup porting actor for his performance in the film "Spartacus," is the kind of man who is becoming rare in modern times - the all-around, or multiple threat kind of man.

On the side he clowns, wears funny hats, sires children, confers with publishers, writes songs, mimics musical instruments, makes pie torial sketches.

This is the story of a defense
contractor that cut its price by
almost two-thirds when COM
petition entered the picture.
The case was laid on the
record by Defense Secretary
Mcnamara yesterday. The
Pentagon chief didn't identify
the contractor, but 1t came to
light when a reporter took a
close look at a portable radio
set used by the Secretary to
illustrate a point.
The set bore the manufac-
turer's label OF the Radio
Corp. Of America, the Nations
biggest electronics maker and
one Of the country's leading
defense contractors.
Under an agreement ne
gotiated without bidding or
competition two years ago, RCA
produced the transformed
radios about the size and
weight Of a metropolitan
phone book--for $2,278 each.
Then, in competitive bidding
with 20 other firms earlier this
year. RCA agreed to produce
the identical radio in the
future for $843.

day, Mr.. Mcnamara had this
comment on the price change.

was jailed In 1861 for ~ years,
the longest sentence for espio-
mage in British history.
Informants said the Russian
has given invaluable informa-
ton on the Soviet espionage
methods and its spy network
in the West. This could force
the Soviet Union into q major

telligence.
Prefers Life in Britain
One account, described by Of
ficials as substantially ae-
curate, said the Russian told
United States authorities he
would prefer to live in Britain.
After prolonged questioning
he satisfied the CHA that he
was not q plant. T. n he was
brought under guard to London
on a commercial flight and
handed over to British intel
ligence.
When word leaked out that
he was here, the Government
asked British newspapers not
to mention his arrival.
Later an official spokesman
said the fact that the defector
was here could be used, but his
name should be suppressed.
If the normal practice is fol-
lowed the Russian eventually
will emerge from his hideout
with new identity as a British
subject.
The Manchester Guardian,
without giving a source. said
the defector is far better in
formed than Donald Maclean
and Harold Philby, two Britons
who went over to the Russians.
The Daily Express ranked
him as the biggest defector
since Vladimir Petrov blew open
