S. of ficials believe Vice - President Richard M. Nixon did a good job of selling the administra tion's "partnership" policy to Latin America. Nixon told each of the 10 countries he visited that the United States regards them as "equal partners in the alliance of free nations." Extension ef FDR Policy The youthful vice - president presented the "partnership" pol icy to the neighbor republics as an extension of the late Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt's good neighbor policy. Privately, however, Nixon said President Eisenhower's pro gram has a more realistic ap proach since he believes the Dem ocratic administration tended to assume a "big brother" role toward Latin America. The administration's tneory is to let private enterprise do the basic job of economic de velopment, Nixon said. Stressed Frequently He stressed this frequently in speeches to officials and. busi ness groups during his trip "be cause I wanted to raise no false hopes that would lead to anyone to think our government is pre pared to make any more hand outs." Instead, he said the Eisen hower administration is taking a "realistic, business like view" of how the United States can help seed development in the Latin American countries through intensifying trade and i private investments. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent V V f Hollywood U.R) Hollywood Is proud of "On the WaterfroUt" and its 12 Oscar nominations, but its writer revealed today the film was a n "orphan" that almost wasn't made. . Every major Hollywood studio turned down the story about dock Aline Mosby workers. Real life waterfront interests were, against the picture and Marlon Brando, the star, didn't even finish reading the script when it was first sent to him. The drama behind the camera was told by writer Budd Schul berg. He flew to filmtown last week from his New Hope, Pa., home to collect a Screen Writers' Guild award for the best written drama of the year, and he'll be back March 30, possibly to snare an Oscar. A Rough Road But the road to gold statuettes and press clippings was rough, he admits. ' "Ilia Kazan, the director, wrote me about doing a picture with him. We'd never met," said Schulberg, who is well known for his books, "What Makes Sammy Run" and "The Disenchanted." "He wanted to do another story, but I told him I had a script based on articles on ;the waterfront by Malcolm Johnson in the New York Sun. "We worked eight months orm the script and took 'it to the studios. We had great difficulty, because the story was contro versial. The studios were afraid of the labor angle, afraid of the longshoremen's union. They thought it was too risky and that the story was downbeat and grim." Kazan and Schulberg finally wangled a deal at 20th Century Fox Studio. But CinemaScope ar rived at Fox, and their old-fashioned black-and-white drama went out the window. "Kazan and I went back to our hotel. We felt terrible," re called the writer. "Across the hall was a producer, S. P. Eagle, who saw we were in trouble. "Maybe I'll produce it and dig up the money,' he said.. And he did. "We sent the script to Brando. He turned it down. I had put little pieces of paper in the pages of the manuscript, a trick I learned from the O.S.S. When the script came back the bits of paper were unmoved, so I knew he hadn't read it. "We tried to get Frank Sin atra, but he was busy. Then Brando called back." A friendly pier where the movie about waterfront rackets could be shot finally was found in Hoboken, N. J. It was filmed in a "tense atmosphere" but no sabotage was attempted. Schul berg revealed it would be "diifi cult" to make the picture now because "waterfront conditions are back to what they used to be." . , The writer has one final satis faction for his, troubles with the film. "Now the studios who turned us down admit they need more pictures that go closer to life," he said. "It's been gratifying. I'm going to write the movie into book form now." Rubber Tested for - Akron, O. (U.R) The old t i m e head-banging railroad crossing has disappeared in one place here, and developers of a newer -and smoother type pre dict it soon will vanish through out the country. t The new and smooth crossing is made of rubber the first such in the world. It is so, ar ranged that an automobile cross es level with the tracks and can barely feel it when it goes over them. Slabs of rubber form the roadway. They are a little over three inches thick, including a sandwiched sheet of heavy gauge steel. The roadway rests on heavy treated wood planking laid on top of each railroad tie. Each slab is fastened down by 12-inch screws. The slabs are sprung into place. They have tapered flanges where they meet the rails and thus f orm.a watertight joint to keep water from seep ing through. There are 1347 high pressure fire hydrants throughout San Francisco.

(International) Navy Plans Atomic Sub Construction At Mare Island Washington (U.R) The Navy said yesterday it plans to build two atomic submarines at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard at Kittery Me., and one at the Mare Island Shipyard in Cal ifornia' Rear Adm. Wilson D. Leggett Jr., Chief of the Navy Bureau of Ships, disclosed the building plans to the House Armed Serv ices Committee. He said .the three ships will be in addition to four already authorized and assigned to the Electric Boat Company at Groton, Conn. New Carriers Considered Navy Secretary Charles S. Thomas at the same time told the committee "very serious consideration" is being given to building some big new carriers on the West Coast. The big ob jection is extra cost, he said. Leggett disclosed the new submarine plans after Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R-N.Y.) protested it was a "serious mistake" to concentrate nuclear shipbuild ing at a single yard. Qualified People Problem Leggett said t'.e Navy agrees. The problem has been to find people qualified to do the job, he said. The Mare Island yard, he said, has been training for the past six months for its part of the work. Thomas estimated it .will cost 20 to $30,000,000 extra to build one of the super carriers on the West Coast. Priest Sees Possible Cause of Expul From Soviet Union New York (U.R) The Rev. Georges Bissonnette said yester day his unexplained expulsion from the Soviet Union may have been in retaliation to the United States for its refusal to renew the temporary visa of a Russian Orthodox archbishop. The Roman Catholic priest said that "most diplomats and correspondents in Moscow" felt his expulsion resulted from American refusal to renew the visa of Russian Orthodox Arch bishop Boris, who left the United States 10 days ago. He said there was no other apparent reason for the Russians' sudden order for him to leave the country. Father Bissonnette arrived here by plane from Stockholm and talked with newsmen short ly after clearing customs inspec tion. He appeared healthy and fit and at times seemed embar rassed by all the attention. Father Bissonnette, 33, was met at the airport by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. .George Bissonnette, 'and a 'sister, Rose, 29, of Central Falls, R. I., and a brother, Albert, 31, of Cumber land, R. I. Taken by Surprise - He told newsmen he was taken completely by surprise by. the expulsion order because as re cently as last November he had been toasted by' Communist party boss Nikita Khruschev as "a sympathetic and Intelligent man."
