The 1,800 miles an hour plane has been rejected as too costly by the Ministry of Sup ply, which has sunk nearly five million dollars into its develop ment. But when Prime Minister Mac millan visited Washington in June he discussed the possibility of com pleting research on the Swallow with dollar aid, and now the U.S. experts are coming to make an on-the-spot check. At the Vickers-Armstrongs air craft plant in Surrey, the Ameri cans will be shown blueprints as well as films of a large-scale mod el of the plane in flight. They will also get the opportunity to know Dr. Wallis at first-hand.

Now she is playing the Bird Girl in W. H. Hudson's "Green Mansions" in the Culver City jungle of MGM. Despite the blistering weather, ihe said she fared well in Africa. "Our company had a few minor ailments," she reported. "My only trouble happened after I got back to the interior shooting in Rome. Because of the dehydration, I had a kidney ailment. It was extreme ly painful, and I was delighted to read that someone said that kld- Bell's Hardware Martin Senour 3000 Outside White Paint "OUR VERY BEST" 49 4 gal.

Audrey, who is married to actor Mel Ferrer, commented that A Nun's Story" has already aroused controversy, and is bound to create more. Taken from the best- selling novel, it concerns a Bel gian girl who serves the church as a nun in Africa and Europe Then, as war comes, she decides to resume the secular life as a nurse. "I've already had church people come up and ask me why I am do ing such a story, Audrey said. "They say they know the facts of Ihe real-life story are not the same as in the book. "Well, I have come to know the woman on whose life the book was based she lives quietly here. I know what parts of the story have been dramatized. But the story re mains basically true.

This eliminates the need for long runways and dan gerously high landing speeds. No ailerons, flaps, tailplane or similar controls. The pilot changes course by moving the plane's four jet-engines which pivot on mount ings outside the wings. The jets can be directed side to side or up and down.

With the future of dirigibles doomed, Wallis turned his atten tion to planes. His record of achievement over the next 20 years was impressive and included: The single - engine W'ellesley which captured a world's record in the 1930's by flying non-stop the 7,162 miles from Egypt to Austral ia in 49 hours. The Wellington bomber, which for three years carried the attack inot Germany. Embodying Wallis' famous hollow-wing construction, the Wellington could be shot to rib bons and still bring its crew back alive.

"I'm trying to set my life m order, and the love of my mother comes first," the tall, slender, au burn-haired girl told United Press International. I guess I disappointed mom and dad from the beginning," she said. "They wanted me to go into high society and that sort of life, but I wanted to be a singer and actress and they couldn't under stand it. "Maybe it was because I was i heavy. I was always being teased about being fat and had such a complex that I was ashamed to go into our swimming pool. I lost 45 pounds taking nar cotics, but it's better to be fat than to do it that way. Barbara, who was placed on two years' probation after being convicted of a misdemeanor nar cotics charge last June 9. said the last time she saw her mother was in March, 1956. shortly after ber famous father died. "That was before the narcot ics." she said. "I just decided 1 had to leave home and seek my career my own way. "I took an apartment in Holly wood, but I had led such a shel tered life that I was naive. Be fore long, I was hanging around with addicts in the places along Sunset Boulevard and elsewhere. Soon I was one of them. They promised me I could lose weight fast that way." Last Jan. 7, Barbara was seized with two men in a raid on her apartment. Several months later she mar ried the man convicted of being her supplier, film technician Da vid J. Mack, 27. during his trial. "I was warned not to testify against him and was scared." she said. "So I married him. But I'm having the marriage annulled. I haven't seen him once since he's been in jail." Live Show Video Producer Looks Like Outdoorsman By CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK (AP) Herbert Brodkin is a tall, lean, sandy haired man of 45 who looks as if he earned his living out of doors. Rancher? Forest ranger? To the contrary, Brodkin be longs to an almost extinct species: he is a producer of live TV drama. With Fred Coe and John House man he composes a new trium virate which will guide the des linies of Playhouse 90 (CBS-TV) through another season.

With a long career as a produc er of live television in New York, Brodkin quit Studio One last sea son rather than follow it to Holly wood, where it will shortly be in terred as another live drama series that died. But he is enthus iastic about the prospects of the l.i or 20 live dramas he will pro duce for Playhouse 90 on the West Coast. "Any weekly drama series is good." he says. "The biggest prob lem a producer faces is having enough time to .prepare scripts. There's plenty of material, but you have to have time to prepare it." The problem of time, nearly everyone agrees, was the insur mountable problem of Martin Manulis, the talented producer of Playhouse 90 for two years. The luality of the weeklv 90-minute dramatic series declined last sea son because, in Ihe opinion of many viewers, production was simply too heavy a burden for one man to bear. Of the 20 productions on which Brodkin currently is encaced. all hut one are being originally writ ten for television.

HOLLYWOOD (AP) Is musical dead in Hollywood? Cyd Charisse doesn't think so. Usually a calm tomato, she gets het up about those who would bury the tunefilms. She admits she is on the defen sive. The number of musicals has sagged to almos nothing, where as they once constituted almost a fourth of the Hollywood product. The reasons are many. ".Mainly, it s because musicals are expensive." she admitted. The five-month strike of film musicians also contributed to the decline. And there is the repeated claim that musicals do not sell overseas, where about half the profits must come in order for the studios to survive. "I hear that all the time," Cyd said angrily, "and I don't think it's true. The whole thing started because 20th Century-Fox had bad luck with a couple of its musicals in Europe. They were Carousel and The King and I." "But those weren't movie must cals in the strict sense. They were 1 ilmed stage plays, there was little dancing, and most of the songs were sung m closeups. Some of the songs were cut in Europe, because they didn't understand them over there. "But none of my numbers from 'Meet Me in Las Vegas' or 'Silk Stockings' have been cut in Eu rope, and those pictures have done well over there." She admitted that movie musi cals suffered from the competition oi television. "TV has made dancing less im portant," she said. "It used to be a real treat to go to the movies and see Fred Astaire dance. But now you see dancing every time you turn on the set. You see lines of girls on the variety shows the i even girls dancing around a big dox ot cleaning powder for commercials. "But dancing in movies still has its advantage. It's impossible to make dancing really effective on TV. The screen is too small, and the cameras cant move fast enough to get the right angles." She sees hope on the horizon A top producer was moaning to ner weeks ago that be d never make another musical, despite her arguments.

The propositions range from he controversial "right-to-work" law that would outlaw the union shop to one that would legalize Sunday and Memorial Day boxing matches now banned by law. The booklets 634 million of them will go to county clerks and registrars of voters, who in lurn will mail them to voters in October. Copies also are available from the secretary of state. The 42-nage pamphlet also con tains the full text of the proposals and an analysis of each by the Legislative Counsel. Three of the measures show no opposition, while the other 15 all are at least slightly controversial. Unopposed are Prop. 1, which would authorize the sale of 300 million dollars in state bonds for the state veterans farm and home loan program: Prop. 2. authorizes sale of 220 million dollars worth of bonds for the state school building aid program, and Prop. 7. provide for continuous state government in a wartime disaster. Among the most hotly disputed are Props. 16. 17 and 18. Prop. 18 The "right-to-work' proposal is scored by opponents as "an evil masquerade, hiding an attempt to destroy unionism by, a few selfish people, whose real and self-seeking desire is to create a cheap labor market. Proponents say: "Vote 'Yes' on Prop. 18 and support the principle of freedom of choice guaranteed in the United States Constitution and the United Nations Code and endorsed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Harry 'Iruman, Kich ard M. Nixon, Pope Piui XII, the Rev. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and all other leaders of liberal :hought." Prop. 17 The tax revision measure would cut the state sales tax from 3 to 2 per cent. lower the tax rate on incomes under S3.000 a year and boost the rate in higher brackets. 'Prop. 17 speaks for justice In taxation," say its backers. Don't wreck the financial structure of California s public schools, state colleges, welfare programs, hospitals and institu tions!" cry the opponents. Prop. 16 would repeal the prop erty tax exemption granted to parochial schools unless the school is run solely for the blind, mentally retarded or physically handicapped. "Vote Yes! Stop violation of American separation between church and state," urge 16's backers. Opponents say: "An overwhelm ing 'No' vote on Prop. No. 16 will defeat an unjust and discrimina tory tax while upholding religious and educational freedom. Other measures Include: Prop. 3 To authorize selling 200 million dollars worth of bonds for state construction; 4 To permit sale of 60 million dollars worth of bonds for building small craft harbors and improving the port of San Francisco; 5 To allow the Legislature to set its own salaries, not to exceed the average pay of county supervisors in the five most populous counties; 13 To make the office of state superin tendent of public instruction ap pointive instead of elective after 1926. with appointment subject to Senate confirmation; 15 To re peal the penal code section pro hibiting boxing matches on Me morial Dav and Sunday.
