BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Critic of The Star

"Yes," Kirk Douglas said,
he enjoyed making "The
Hook" for Producer Bill PERL
berg and the latter's partner,
Writer-Director George Sea-
ton.
Mr.. Douglas, here to share
the master of ceremonies role
at Friday nights Kennedy
biennial gala, added that
part of his satisfaction in
the film is that it has some
thing important to say. He
finds Perlberg- -Seaton films
an attractive mixture of en-
lightenment and entertain
ment. This is Just fine and
equally so is the pleasure Of
working with a director as in
cisive and knowing as Mr..
Seaton.
Nevertheless Mr.. Douglas,
who does his own thinking,
refuses to become committed
to any one type of movie. He
has played in spectacles,
Westerns, comedies, dramas,
and virtually every other
form. It is his idea of the
proper pattern for the solid
professional in acting.
Greatest Art Form
"Film." he says, "is poten-
TALLY the greatest of art
forms. 1t has a huge audi
ence. This audience has a
wide variety of tastes and the
screen should serve them all.
OF course, I like pictures that
have something important to
say. Nevertheless, I will not
be committed exclusively to
this type of film.

ways be asked to listen to

NEGRO INSURANCE c0MPANYs
FEELING White COMPETITION

To meet this challenge, Mr..
Clement says, Negro companies
must train their agents better
than formerly and must offer
superior service"
"Our people are not going to
buy life insurance from us in
the future as they have in the
past merely because of race"
he declares. "They are going
to buy only if we can compete
in service"
In one way, at least, Mr..
Clement regards this competi-
ton from white business as an
encouraging sign.
It indicates, he says, that in
the life-insurance feld-the
Negro's largest business enter
prise-the Negro has at last
"entered the main highway OF
commerce. We have reached

The attorney general indicated
that he feels even a strong civil

for the racial problem.
"The basic answer is full
