He is Dr. Barnes Neville Wallis,

talks with Dr. Wallis and to study
the blueprints of his folding-wing,

too costly by the Ministry of Sup
ply, which has sunk nearly five
million dollars into its develop

he discussed the possibility of com

with dollar aid, and now the U.S.
experts are coming to make an on-the-spot
check.
At the Vickers-Armstrongs air

HOLLYWOOD (AP) Life is
just one jungle after another for
Audrey Hepburn.
For a girl who started her film
career in sophisticated comedies,
she certainly has done an about
face. Her last film, "A Nun's
Story," had her sweltering In the
Belgian Congo.
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-

ney ailments are even more pain

children."
She declined, however, to pre
dict how soon.
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

"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. It is not pro-
Catholic nor is it anti-Catholic. It
is simply a story, and a very
warm and intesting one.
H is more or less like a mar
riage. The woman and the church

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.
Wallis, however, is best known
for his invention of the skip bomb
that blew up the Mohne and Eder
dams in the Ruhr. His problem
here was to hit the dams well be

Comedian's Daughter Asks
Mother To Take Her Back
By RICK DU BROW
HOLLYWOOD (UPIt Barbara
Burns, 20-year-old daughter of the
late comedian, Bob (Bazooka)
Burns, pleaded with her mother
today to take her back "now that
I've licked the narcotics habit."
"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."

ever, all will work in Hollywood.
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.
"It's always a temptation to
adapt a novel because a good
story already exists," said Brod
kin. "That's the easy wav. But
1 believe television should create
its own."
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. Recently, he confessed
to her that he had several planned

FRIDAY
State Secretary's Office
Mails Voting Information
SACRAMENTO AP-The sec-i
retary of state s oitice today
began mailing booklets which will
gie California voters pro and con
irumen'.s on bdilol propositions
or the November election.
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
