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.

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.
