o O o o o o u o o 0 Star Producer Strike Blow for Long-Short Love By ROBERT MUSEL United Press Correspondent London HP) When Sophia Loren, who is five feet eight, married producer Carlo Ponti who is let's be generous five feet five, she did not realize she was striking a blow for the long and short of love the world over. Her fan mail is swollen with letters from small men in love with bigger girls. And from tall girls in love with smaller males. They all say that the "cour ageous" example of the Italian film star has emboldened them to "flout the traditions." too. "I never dreamed that love de pended in people's minds so much on height,"said the pride of Pozsuoli, Italy, looming over me. Looming is the right word. Mis Loren was in costume for her new Carl Foreman film, "The Key" slacks as clinging as bal let tights and a woolen sweater that couldn't have fitted the or iginal sheep more closeiy. "You're a nice height," she re marked, scanning my five feet seven. "A trifle too tall, per haps." As to how this amber-eyed goddess happened to fall for a smaller man, 21 years older, Miss Loren will only sav: "If you love Qromeone you do not notice his height or his looks. I tell all these girls who write me about it that a man is a giant if you love him. He becomes everything wonder ful, my Carlo." " Sophia is not only big and spectacular but demonstrative. When Ponti is around she cannot hide her feeling for him. She fusses with his tie, touches his hand and otherwise displays an ownership that is vaguely primi tive and, according to other mem bers of the cast of "The Key," sometwhat disturbing. .Director bir Carol Reed is quite happy about this uninhib ited emotion, Some of it has rubbed off in the love scenes with William Holden, even though he is g six-footer. Detroit (IP) Waldorf T. Kitk, 60, secretary of the Michigan Bell Telephone Co., died Wednesday at Providence hospi tal.

Jury Expected To Get Beck Case Momentarily Seattle H" A jury of seven men and five women may begin deliberating the grand larceny case of Teamster President Dave Beck late today. Beck, 63, is accused of em bezzling S1.900 of union funds obtained from the sale of a 1952 Cadillac owned by the Western Conference of Teamsters. The state charges he placed the money in his private bank ac count. Beck testified Wednesday for 51 minutes, 24 minuteg under cross-examination by deputy prosecutor Laurence Regal. Dur ing the cross-examination, de fense attorney Charles S. Bur- dell made five futile moves for a mistrial on grounds Regal had gone beyond the scope of direct examination. Answers Calmly The Teamster head answered questions calmly. However, Bur dell limited his questions to Beck's career and authority within the union. Judge George H. Revelle per mitted Regal to question Beck about the identity of the Cad illac and who authorized the sale but efforts by the deputy prosecutor to go farther were stymied. "Did you authorize the sale of the car?" Regal asked. At this point, Burdell object ed, the jury was excused 'and after a brief argument Revelle upheld Burdell. A few minutes later Regal asked Beck where the money was deposited. He was permitted to answer despite Burdell'3 objection. "The money was deposited, I think, in the B. & B. account," Beck replied.
