With a 14-month income tax saving plan ended for film stars, 4 they ve found a new way to save money turn produc er. Three years ago some stars e s c a ped the staggering tax on their high income by Aline Mosby working abroad for 14 tax-free months. Then Congress plugged that le gal loophole. Now luminaries have decided the only way they can take home much of their fortune is to turn businessmen and make their own pictures. Kirk Douglas, Jane Russell, Burt Lancaster, Robert Mitch- um, Frank Sinatra, Henry Fon da, Betty Grable, Victor Mature and Joan Crawford all hold star- producer agreements. Old Age Considered Marilyn Monroe's celebrated sitdown strike against 20th Century-Fox involved her wish to make outside pictures under her own production company so she can save for her old age. Mitchum recently returned from Mexico where he filmed his second production, "Bandi do," and I dropped in on his set to see how he looked as a sedate producer. Mitch, however, was as ever relaxed, joking and I-don't-give-a-hang. Director Should Direct "Some fellows like Kirk Doug las put the sign 'Producer' on their office mmmph!" snort ed Mitchum. "Just a technical ity. The assistant director still is the boss. "I'm making my own pictures because I didn't want to just act under a straight salary. It seems to me almost criminal to earn as much money and then not keep it. You just sign your name on the back of the check, and hand it 'over to the govern ment. Anyway, this independent set-up keeps a lot of lawyers busy," he said. This, he concluded poetic ally, "is the actor's last, desper ate thrust towards some sort of freedom." Workshop To Start For Footlighters The Footlighter's, local thea ter group, will launch its thea ter workshop at 7:30 p.m. Wed nesday in the St. Mary's school activities room. The workshop, which will be two hours, will be held both Wednesday and Thurs day nights.

All phases of the theater will be available for experimenta tion, including acting, directing, play writing, and technical as pects of production- Subscribers To report improper or non-delivery of the Mail Tribune phone 2-6141 before 6:45 p.m. daily and 10:30 a.m. Sunday.

SHRIMP Ohio Court Review Conviction Of Dr. Sheppard Columbus (U.R) The Ohio Supreme court today agreed to review the second degree mur der conviction of Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard, but rejected a plea for a new trial on grounds of "new evidence." The court said it would re view the case record and the defense claim that Dr. Shep pard's constitutional rights were violated by a "circus atmos phere" during his original trial in Cleveland more than a year ago. But the state's highest court rejected Sheppard's plea for a new trial on the basis of "new evidence," which Dr. Paul Kirk, University of California crimi nologist, claimed he had found. Doesn't Win Release The decision to review the case was the first legal round Dr. Sam had won since he was first accused of beating his pregnant wife Marilyn in their house overlooking Lake Erie July 4, 1954. While the decision did not win Dr. Sam's release from Ohio penitentiary, it means the court will review the case in detail. The court, although it rejected the request for a new trial to day, still could order a new trial after it studies and decides the constitutional question. Or the court may decide that Dr. Sheppard must serve the life sentence which was imposed by Common Pleas court in Cleve land. Florida Farmers Get Some Relief Miami, Fla. ''U.R) A gradual warmup brought relief to South Florida farmers today but none to beach-loving tourists. Florida will remain chilly through Sunday, weathermen predicted. The ocean at Miami Beach was a teeth-chattering 68 degrees and a sharp northwest wind still fanned the coastline Farmers, plowing under more than $10,000,000 worth of frost shriveled crops in South Flor ida, were cheered by news that vegetable prices had jumped on the New York market. One report said that tomatoes were bringing S12 a bushel on the New York market, compar ed to S4.50 a bushel farmers were receiving south of here last week. Such news encouraged Dade county growers, who managed to save part of their crops. Those farmers not completely wiped out may recoup most of their money losses. More than 13,000 acres of to matoes, beans, squash and other tender crops were destroyed in Dade county, the hardest hit area. fi Process Authorify For Loans Received Grants Pass Authority to process disaster " loan applica tions for Jackson and Josephine county farmers who suffered flood losses has been received, according to William N. Young Jr., supervisor of the Farmers Home administration here. An established farm owner or operator who suffered a sub stantial loss during the Decem ber flood is eligible for an FHA loan if unable to obtain from other sources credit required to continue normal farming opera tions, Young said. The farmer should have reasonable pros pects for success with assistance of a loan. Loans may be made for pur chasing feed, seed, fertilizer, re placement of equipment and livestock, for other essential farm and home operating ex penses, and for replacement or repair of buildings, fences, drainage and irrigation systems on individual farms. Loans will not be granted to pay existing debts, Young said. Diving ducks take off by running along the top of the water to gain flying speed; pud dlers spring straight out of the water in taking off.
