BBC Depicts Prostitute's Life On TV, Gets But Few Protests LONDON (UP)-The British Broadcasting Corporation showed the life story of a prostitute on television Thursday night and about the only protests today were from viewers who thought ant should not have picked an Ameri can to lead her to ruin. The government-run BBC de voted 90 minutes of its evening tel evision service to a dramatic and analytical portrayal of the problem of prostitution. Nothing was held back in the life story of Jackie the prostitute except the bedroom scenes. In "Without Love" the BBC pre sented what it believed to be the typical life story of a girl gone Anita Ekberg Frees Husband HOLLYWOOD lfl Swedish actress Anita Ekberg early Satur day bailed her husband, British actor Anthony Steel, out of jail after he was arrested on suspi cion of drunk driving. She put up $263 at West Los Angeles police station. Policemen George Toliver and E. R. John said they arrested Steei, 38, as he was driving his wife's sports car 50 miles an hour in a thick fog that limited visibil ity to 100 feet.

Parents had been warned well in advance to decide for themselves whether the story was suitable for their children to watch. The prostitute, played by 25-year old actress Clare Austin, was first seen as a girl of 17 arguing with her low-income parents about the frustrations of teen-age life in a provincial English city slum. Jackie, addicted to heavy make up and tight-fitting sweathcrs, left her grimy home in the industrial mid-lands for the bright lights of London. There she found romance with an American airman who was going to prove to you there's at least one good American in this country." He seduced her and deserted her when she became pregnant. lhat was about the only part ot the show the British public was annoyed at. BBC reported it re ceived only a "negligible" handful of protests, but many persons were reported to have called in and objected that it was a Gl who caused Jackie's downfall. Sen.

I miles a second. The prospect that the next few I- years will see the development of intercontinental missiles capable of carrying atomic or hydrogen war-heads, it was said, has led to a conclusion that new emphasis should be put on this type of weapon. Accordingly, missiles will be added specifically to the list of weapons which this country will advocate should be made subject to limitation and control of an in ternational arms agreement. There is little real hope, how ever, that any U.S. emphasis on long-range missile, controls will have much effect in dissolving the main obstacle which has blocked efforts at an effective arms reduc tion agreement for the past 10 years. This is Western insistence on some ironclad system of inspection as contrasted ith Soviet Russia's refusal thus far to open her terri tory to international inspection teams. Some slight hope has been gen erated here by the latest proposal from Soviet Premier Bulganin for aerial inspection system to extend approximately 500 miles on each side of the Iron Curtain. The hope is that this may in dicate some lessening of Russian objections to the "open skies" pro posal which Eisenhower made at the Geneva summit conference jn 1955. He recommended that Rus sia and the United States open their skies to mutual aerial in spection. Administration insistence on; some form of aerial inspection re, mains unchanged, officials said, j Interest Open On GI Loans WASHINGTON uwrhe Veterans Administration said today lenders may stipulate that GI home loans now being negotiated shall bear the highest interest rate permis sible when the loan is closed. This was a recognition of the possibility that the new Congress may increase the maximum GI home loan interest rate, now 44 per cent. GI home loan activity had dropped off, in part because of a shortage of available investment money. NEWBERRYS 241 N. Liberty OPEN TONIGHT!

Back in 1941 Jeanette Mac Donald and Nelson Eddy ended those MGM movies they did to gether, and no more does he bound through the forest in his Mountie uniform or gaze at her in rapture while she sings, "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life." Today's young movie-goers know only such screen combinations as Piper Laurie and Tony Curtis and Elvis Presley and his ' sideburns. But to us oldsters MacDonald Eddy successes such as "Naughty Marietta," "Rose Marie" and "Maytime" were memorable films even though Eddy's acting was understated, to put it mildly, and the stories were sugary.

This is quite exciting, the spirited, vivacious Miss MacDon ald declared today. Vi e ve been asked to appear on television be fore but one 'of us always has been busy.

Still another concept held by some astronomers is that the uni verse is a steady thing one that never has expanded or con tracted as a whole, although in dividual star systems within it may do so.

This, how ever, has not stopped fans from thinking they are husband and wife. "People ask Nelson about his wife, Jeanette, and fans call my husband, Gene Raymond, Mr. Eddy." the singer said. "Some times Gene goes along with the idea and signs his autographs Nelson Eddy. "Nelson and I used to date each other before I married Gene," she added thoughtfully.
