Nixon Credited With
Doing Good Job on
Latin American Tour
Washington (U.PJ U. 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.

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."

Experiment May
Bring Bigger Pumpkins
Urbana, 111. (U.R) Experi
ments by an insect expert may
result in bigger, better and more
plentiful pumpkins. ,
Dr. John M. Wright, associate
entomologist of the Illinois
Natural History Survey, worked
to find a way to combat squash
bugs and other insects that feed
on pumpkins and pumpkin vines.
. Wright reported a spray of
one of h the new insecticides,
dieldrin, was used on. experi
mental fields of pie pumpkins.
The result, he said, was
luxuriant vines and a bumper
crop of good-sized pumpkins.
Nearby fields that weren't
sprayed were hit hard by bugs,
Wright said.

The rare water used exclusively in brewing
Olympia Beer is different in two essential ways. ,
If flows, dear and cold, from our famous
artesian wells. Nature's own underground
filtering process gives it the ideal character for
extracting the most delicate of flavors from the
premium hops and grains used in brewing Olympia.
Not only is this rare water perfect for
brewing but it is perfect all the time. It is
the consistent quality of the water that
permits us to maintain, year after year,
the exquisite flavor of Olympia -"It's the
water" that has made Olympia "the beer
that keeps its friends.M
