N.Y. - OIPD - Monty Woolley, the bearded actor lamed aa "The Man Who Came to Dinner," died today In Albany Medical Center hos pital. He was 74. Woolley had been on the critical list since April 6 with a heart ailment. He was moved to the medical center from Saratoga hospital about 30 miles north of here. He had lived in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. for the past few years, Born Edgar Montillion Woolley, In New York City, he taught for 12 years at his alma mater, Yale, before hedlng to Broadway, Because of his chin foliage, he was nicknamed "The Beard." His most famous role was as Sheridan Whiteside in "The Man Who Came To Din ner." He originated the role on Broadway and later por , trayed Whiteside in the movie version of the play. It was a role Woolley per petuated for years to the de light of movie, radio and tele vision audiences that of a white-bearded patriarch, with fierce blue eyes, at times clenching a cigarette holder between his teeth. Woolley built his reputa tion as an irascible curmud geon on the stage and screen. But he Insisted he actually MOTHER'S DAY CARDS Mother's Dy Sunday Ms? 13 217 I. Main St. MtdforJ was "mild-mannered ana easy to get along with." That was In 1855, when he came to Hollywood to play Omar the tent maker in "Kismet," his last major ven ture in the movies before re tiring to New York. Woolley, born Aug. 17, 1888, enjoyed a long success as a distinguished actor on stage and screen in spite of, or perhaps because of, his long and unusual beard. "The Beard" first appeared in chin foliage in the Broad way hit "On Your Toes," in 1B29. From then on, despite pleas of some film producers, he refused to shave off the magnificent beard and wore it in such films as "The Man Who Came to Dinner," in which he repeated his 1930 stage role that brought him his greatest success. The part was one of a self-centered, booming voiced egocentric who resembled in part a famed theatrical critic and personality of the day, Alex ander Woollcotl. California Textbook Selection Measure Before Committee Sacramento - IUPU - Assent-1 ability. Also the board would be the final determiner of which books, and how many, each district would receive. blyman Gordon Winton, mak ing a new attempt today at passage of his controversial textbook selection measures, has predicted they will win approval of assembly commit' tee members. Winton based his opinion on amendments he has made to the measure, which came be fore the assembly education committee this afternoon. The Merced Democrat said the changes, suggested by the attorney general's office, should make the measures more acceptable to the com. mittee, which defeated his constitutional amendment April 1. Prior to that, he had abandoned the bill on the same subject. In their original form, tiie measures would have permit ted local elementary school districts to select textbooks on a given subject from a state board of education list. Cur rently, the board generally selects one basic text on each subject. - under the amended version of Winton's bill, the ' board would select a list of books for each subject, but the texts would be designed for stu dents of different learning Need vacation money?

Lack of Arrests In Sunday March Said Encouraging Birmingham, Ala. - (UPD - Negro leaders, encouraged by the first march on city jail in a 34-day campaign that did not result In mass arrests, planned more protests for to day while federal officials sought to ease the explosive racial situation here. More than 2,000 singing, chanting Negroes Sunday marched six blocks from a Negro church to a park across from the city jail. They were permitted by police to hold a 15 - minute demonstration aimed at bolstering the spir its of more than 1,200 Negroes who remain in jail for previ ous demonstrations. Burke Marshall, head of the Justice Department's civil rights division and considered the chief racial trouble-shooter of the Kennedy administra tion, met with local officials during the week end in ef forts to ease racial pressures. Both sides remained tight lipped about the negotiations. U.S. Atty. Gen. Robert Ken nedy canceled a week end trip to keep an eye on the tense situation In this Deep South Industrial center. Negro leaders predicted students who began skipping school by the hundreds last week to take part in the driv would play hooky en masse today to participate in the protests. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who predicted com plete success for the protest movement in a sermon in At lanta Sunday, was back here today to spearhead the drive. Negro comedian Dick Gregory, active in a recent Greenwood, Miss., Negro voter registration drive, was to arrive later today by plane. Police Commission Eugene (Bull) Connor had police keep a tight rein on the march Sun day and set up barricades complete with fire hoses around the park, but the dem onstration was not broken up. Leaders in the campaign were elated over the march, the nearest thing to a victory in the campaign that has brought more than 1,500 ar ret'-', including many young children. Western Senators Run Into Roadblock in Effort To Change Laws for Public Land Administration Washington - HIPP - West-, the ern senators today ran into a new roadblocks In their ef forts to change laws under which 477 million acres of public lands are administered. Interior Department offi cials, headed by Assistant Sec retary John A. Carver Jr., ap peared before the Senate pub lic lands subcommittee to op pose a bill calling for the cre ation of a public lands appeal board. The legislation, introduced by Sen. Ernest Gruening (D Alaska), would create a board to review decisions dealing with use of the public lands for homesteading, grazing, mining and other purposes. Gruening said it would help homesteaders and others to cope with the "bureaucratic jungle" of the Interior Depart ment. But Carver protested that TRUMAN TO BE 78 Independence, Mo. - (UPB Former President Harry ' S. Truman celebrates his 79th birthday Wednesday, but he would just as soon forget it. "I wish they would forget my birthday," Truman said, "they only make me feel older." bill would take away some of the interior secre tary's power to administer the public land laws and create even greater delays in handl ing applications for public lands. Admitting that appeals un. der the current system some times had been handled with "bureaucratic callousness, superficiality and lack of im agination," Carver said he was taking steps to correct abuses. Gruening's bill, he said, would not solve basic problems and would "tend to thwart or defeat such admin istrative reforms." Westerners on the Interior Committee, all cosponsors of Gruening s bill, said they were not committed to its ex act provisions. But they said they saw it as a starting place to provide for appeals from any arbitrary decisions made by interior officials. Subcommittee Chairman Alan Bible (D-Nev.) and Sen. Milward L. Simpson (R-Wyo.) complained of not being able to get copies of the depart ment's unfavorable reports before the hearings. Bible said the committee staff had tried to get the information but that the reports had come "three minutes before we came into the hearing."
