BBC Depicts Prostitute's Life

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

wrong. 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.

U.S. to Stress
Missile Curbs
In Arms Talks
New UN Negotiations
Expected to Start
Early in 1957
WASHINGTON 11 The Eisen
hower administration is reported
prepared to put new stress on thei
desirability of controls for long-
range missiles in forthcoming
United Nations talks on disarma
ment.
Renewed U. N. negotiations on
the long-stalemated question arejifornia suggest that the universe
expected to begin early next year, j may be an "oscillating" thing
In preparation, the administration, like a toy balloon that is repeated
has undertaken a restudy of U.S. Jly blown up, partially deflated,
policy which, officials said, has then blown up again,
resulted in no basi. changes. This tentative conclusion is
Informants said the major prin-. based in part on studies of stars
ciples have been approved by a thousand billion billion miles

by the Defense, State and other ward at speeds exceeding 60,000
departments. 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;

Interest Open
On GI Loans
WASHINGTON uwrhe Veterans
Administration said today lenders
may stipulate that GI home loans

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.

Jeanette and Nelson to Sing
Together for 1st Time on TV
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Hollywood Writer
HOLLYWOOD (UP) After 15
years, the movies' most romantic
screen couple even though each
married another walks into a tel
evision studio Thursday night to
sing together again.
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.
Television Milestone
Thus TV fans will see a mile
stone when Miss MacDonald and
her celluloid swain reunite for
their first television appearance
on the Lux Video Theater's special
holiday musical show over NBC.
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. We finally made it
this time because one of Nelson's
club dates was cancelled." I
The MacDonald-Eddy combina- !
tion began in 1934 and established j
screen history until the couple's
contract ended. .

Other astronomers said if the
concept proves to be sound, such
oscillating of the universe would
take place gradually over billions
and billions of years.
They said the Carnegie report
constitutes the first observed evi
dence, however tentative, to sup
port the theory of an oscillating
universe, which is not a new one.
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.
Astronomers generally define the
universe as including matter, en
ergy and space. Many say it. is ex

lures the studio later wanted me
to do," she explained.
During the past 15 years Miss
MacDonald has been a successful
concert artist, with an occasional
TV appearance, while Eddy turned
to night club and concert work.
But their , fans did not forget
them.
Letters Flattering
"I think it would be great fun
if we.did another movie."
Both Eddy and Miss MacDonald
were single during their team
days,-but for reasons known to
them they wed others. 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. "We always
have been good friends, but, well,
it was just never a romance."
