Egyptian, Eng lish, Belgian, Sudanese they all went out of their way to help me. It made me re alize how much kindness there is in the world." This was Rl cardo Montalban speaking of be ing caught in the middle of the war in Egypt. The Mexico-born actor had been living in Cairo and filming "Son of the Sheik" in the nearby desert when fighting broke out. Montalban missed a chance to be evacuated with other Ameri cans. Stuck in Cairo, he suggested the company continue shooting. So it did, performing an Arabian fantasy within sight of aerial bombardments. After a few days of filming, it was apparent the company could not continue. Montalban was ad vised to leave the country. But how? He was befriended by four Bel gians who were en route to the Sudan to be picked up by an air line for which they worked. Their car was stalled in traffic in the middle of a Nile bridge.

Handsome 40ish Cameron, who started from scratch as a wild catter in Oklahoma and built him self a $30,000,000 fortune, has given the biggest boost to Palm Springs. He launched the town's third radio station IKDES). He bought the weekly newspaper, the Desert Sun, a year ago and turned it into a thriving daily. 1 "We were lucky to fill 10 pages then, now we print 16 and could print 24 if we had the news print," he said. But his biggest venture is Cam eron Center, a 12-acre develop ment featuring swank shops and what he thinks is the country's most expensively-built restaurant the $750,000 "The Springs." The spectacular restaurant on the highway features a dining room with hand-woven carpets, a coffee shop, a dining room for men only and a patio with a waterfall where you can dine under the stars and dance on a heated floor. Seven Golf Courses Downtown, the town's one night club, the Chi Chi, has expanded to become larger than some of the Las Vegas spots. Seven more golf courses are planned. The res idents in their suntans, sequinned shoes and sequinned bathing suits are flocking to inspect c.,e new house that's for sale.

By BOB THOMAS plane was overhead and it was believed the bridge was a target, The plane was shot down. As the car inched across the bridge, Montalban saw a man being clubbed to death by a mob. At the depot his new found friends bought him a ticket south ward. "When we got inside the depot to take the train, the siren sound ed and the lights went out," he said. "The only light was the flash of bombings. We stood in the dark for hours, fearful that panic would break out at any mo ment." Finally the train left. Montal ban, who had a third-class ticket, was taken into a first-class com partment by the Belgians. In Aswan he was stymied by officialdom. He had no exit visa. He faced a trip back to Cairo, but a kind official let him go on the boat trip to Sudan. He slept on the deck of the steamer until an Egyptian army officer gave him a bed. The entry into Sudan was aided by a dozen Sudanese fellow passengers who stuck by Montal ban until he got a visa. It helped greatly that people recognized me," he said. An English busi nessman offered to take him on a private plane. The actor had no money, but his credit was ac cepted.

(AP Wlrepholo) BUSINESS MIRROR Some Industrial and Security Chiefs Are Preaching Caution By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK Ifl-Most trade and manufacturing concerns are fly ing high. But caution is coming back into the thinking of a grow ing number of businessmen today. It showed up first in the stock market. Daily ups and downs there have been attributed to war scares as they wax and wane. The return to a cold war basis with the posibility of even worse has played a large part in (he planning of both stock traders and industrialists. But there is a group in Wall Street even if a minority far as sounding off is concerned who have been wondering about the high price of stocks and the high ' speed of industry as it climbed to new heights. In the market the worry has been over the debated question of whether stock prices have risen faster than earnings and so are nc: anticipating what industry will be doing well into the future. In industry the worry Is whether another levelling off period may be ahead. Earlier this year in dustry paused after a headlong upward rush and levelled off for a time. In the summer, and es pecially after the end of the steel strike, it shot upward again. Industrial production apparently climbed to a new high In Novem ber. Department store sales are running a bit ahead of a year ago. Personal incomes, on average, are at a new high, In many places North Africa "which was Cairo all over again," he got back to London.

But some are beginning to preach caution. Before they left for Hollywood, Fla., for their an nual convention, a number of members of the Investment Bank- Assn. of America were ad vising their clients to take a cau tious approach to common stocks and were praising the virtues oi bonds and tax exempt securities'. The uncertainties they see In the outlook include the touchy affairs In the Mid East and in eastern Europe, where others than our selves have already upset trade routes, piled up problems of get ting oil and dollars on the western Europeans a crisis that some 1,200 American exporters, import ers and financiers are worrying with at the convention sponsored by the National Foreign Trade Council here this week. The uncertainties here at home include the yet to be tested will ingness of motorists to buy as many of the new cars as Detroit thinks they should. There is also 4hc general question of higher prices and the consumer's willing ness or ability to pay. The National Assn. of Purchas ing Agents say that so far there is no sign that war scares have influenced the buying of its mem bers. But it says they are much more1 cautious now about buying far ahead both because of the increased prices and the easy availability of most materials. Another worry both for industry and for stock traders Is the slow welcome "house" gift lo be en a Celebration but steady shrinking of profit mar gins. Operating costs have been rising faster than they can be passed along and it's beginning to show in the earnings state ments, although so far it hasn't affected the dividend policies of most companies. Even the big boom in plant ex pansion and equipment buying now at a record high shows some first signs of slowing down. While machine tool shipments arc at ahigh level, new orders aren't pouring in as fast as they once did. And new plant building may top out in the first half of 1957.

BI.AKESI.EE Associated Press Science Reporter NEW YORK W-Harvard Uni versity scientists today blasted the, idea that you would stay younger aboard a spaceship than by stay ing home. j Such an idea is based on a mis understanding of Einstein's spe cial theory of relativity, they told the American Rocket Society. Science fiction writers, some college teachers and others have proposed that spaco travel could give you a drink at an Einstcinian fountain of youth.

"Why can't I have black hair?" Her father is Robert Prosser of the Okinawa Star, English lan guage newspaper. Ho wrote of Penny's complaints in an edi torial. To Penny, anyone whose hair Is not straight and niack is doomed to a life of the most abject hu miliation. "And why not?" Prosser said. "Born In Japan, raised in Tokyo and Okinawa, she claims as her closest friends the little Oklnawan girl around the corner, the Eura sian girl down the block and a well mannered but uniformly bru nette assortment of Japanese and Okinawan Nisei, children, plus a smattering of Filipino kids." Penny complained she was the lone blonde on her school bus and was equally outnumbered at school. "Why do I have to have such a light skin?" she tearfully asked her puzzled parents. "Blue jeans look good on girls with brown skin. I just hale white skin." Prosscr wrote he had no answer for Penny.
