Monty Woolley, Famed Actor
With Flowing Beard, Dies
Albany. 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

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.

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

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

sought to ease the explosive
racial situation here.
More than 2,000 singing,

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

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.

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

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."
