Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Prau Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Gregory Peck isn't interested in money p Trrom now on, the world - roamer said, he's work ing "for stimu lus and adven ture." - Peck, home to stay after nearly three years of acting overseas, wound up his Aline Mosby tour wnn "Moby Luck, ' a motion picture that will go down in film history for its troubles and colorful drama that went on behind the camera. Xl -7 Magnuson Requests Change in Review Of CAB's Decisions Washington (U.R) Sen "Warren G. Magnuson has asked Congress to revoke the Presi dent's right to review Civil Aeronautics Board decisions ex cept in "cases involving nation el defense and foreign policy." The Washington Democrat's measure also would open the door for non-scheduled airlines C to be given recognition as reg ular supplemental carriers under CAB regulation. Commerce Chairman Magnuson is chairman of the Senate Commerce committee which would consider the bill to overhaul the 1938 Civil Aero nautics act. His proposal would give the CAB discretionary authority to recognize "non-sked" airlines in a special class known as "sup plemental air service carriers." The board also would be au thorized to issue "certificates of Dublic convenience and neces sity" to such airlines defining the "type and extent of supple mental service" they could pro vide. Approval Required Under present law, the Presi dent is required to approve all franchises granted by the CAB to U.S. airlines for schedules and routes outside the country. He does not have to review do mestic route decisions. ,: . Magnuson was a leading crit ic of a recent White Hiuse de cision which denied Northwest Airlines a Seattle-Honolulu route but let Pan-American air ways to continue to fly the same route. The depision later was modified to certify both car- riers,;.......c--r- The film's 65 - foot phony whale sank, actor Richard Base hart broke a leg, actor Leo Genn was injured, storms battered the company, and Peck was dunked in the ocean. For . seven months adventurous director John Hus ton led his sea-soaked actors and technicians - from Ireland to Wales to London to the Canary Islands and almost to Africa, if a second thought hadn't stopped him. Greatest Adventure But all this discomfort to Peck was "really living." "We shared an adventure, the greatest adventure I've ever had," Peck said with a bit of nos talgia as he sat, warm and dry, at his hotel. "Unless a movie has some kind of stimulus or new idea I'm just not interested any more. I've made all the hack pictures I'm ever going to. make. I'd rather do something I like on a straight salary than 'The Indians Ride Again on 66 per cent of the gross." The company's darkest hour was the 11 weeks' location for the : whaling sequences off the coast, of Wales. "Every day we went out, but we had only 10 good weather days,", said Peck. "The boat (built by Walt Disney for "Treas ure Island') was top heavy be cause of the length of the mast, and when it got too stormy we were. chased in.. "People got seasick. Then the tow line broke on our whale which had been made of wood, wiring and a rubberized material covering the hull of a ship. Two men nearly drowned trying to save it. The waves were 20 feet high. Others Nearly Lost "We also lost two masts, and if they had fallen minutes before, the 18 men on them would have been lost, too." For the final scene Peck is shown strapped to Moby Dick, the Great White Whale. "I thought it would be a trick shot in miniature, but that was a little treat Huston had been saving for me," grinned Peck, "Darned if he didn't tie me on the side of the whale and roll me under the water." The film, scheduled for 12 weeks of shooting, took 30. The budget, says .Peck, "was never taken too seriously." Occasion ally the men who put up the money dropped in "to see what we were doing." "They were worried," he smiled. "But after thejr saw how great the film was, they'd leave." Peck, I noticed, picked up a lew continental habits on his trip, such as wine with lunch and a collection of art objects and paintings.

Quantico, Va. -(U.R) S e n. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) a proud former leatherneck, told it to the Marines Saturday: let civilians run foreign policy. Mansfield's remarks were pre pared for a batch of new second lieutenants graduating from the Marine Corps schools, but they were aimed at all career military men. V :- !. The Montana Democrat, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, warned military leaders to shun politics also, . lest they lose the confi dence of the people in their un biased military judgment. ; , "Military leaders ought not to assume that military training provides an automatic back ground for politics, whether na tional . or ; international," said Mansfield, "and they ought not, in the formulation and conduct of foreign policy, to exteed the powers of their appointive of fices." Provide Power Reserve "The role of the military in foreign policy," he said, "is to provide a reserve of power to support negotiations concerning our just interests in the world, and to defend those interests if attacked." But the President and the Sec retary of State, not the military, must determine "what our in terests are, and when and how they are to be defended," Mans field added.
