Of Making Movie From Best Seller Termed Tough Job By BOB THOMAS AP Motion Picture Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP)-How they could get a movie out of linn Whitehead's best seller, "The FBI Story," seemed a puzzle. The bonk had a wealth of fas cinating data, but no central story line. So when 1 learned that War ner Brothers was off and running with the film version, 1 went out to Burbank to investigate. I sought out director Mervyn LeRoy, the Itooney-sized movie maker and race track tycoon. how on earth did you get a script out ot 'The FBI Story'?' I asked him. "Toughest, job 1 ever tackled,' said LeHoy, blandishing his om nipresent cigar. I dutifully followed him to a nearby set that depicted Okla- YULE PARTY HELD NORTH KINGSTON, R. I.

"The banker is killing off the rich In dians to get their oil rights. It's a tough case, but the FBI solves it. I've got 160 sets on this pic ture, more than 1 ve ever had on a picture before." Did J. Edgar Hoover see the script? 'Did he! Of course, he read it. So did the attorney general. They have given us terrific cooperation in preparing the story. We'll shoot part of it in Washington. Also at the FBI training grounds at Camp Quanlico, in New York, St. Louis and the Bronx. How dons the picture end? "Think I'm going lo tell you?" he snorted. Obviously not, I concluded as he stalked off to toss some directions at the crew. Still not having solved my case. I sought out James Stewart for an explanation of how the story was licked. 'I think the problem was solved in a very ingenious way, he ex plained. "The Whitehead book was largely a straight history of the nil.

If he insists on watching the old ball games, you insist on his buying another old TV set for you." This Department's recent dis cussion of the weaknesses of the rating theory and star theory of television programming has brought a spate of mail, all en dorsing our criticisms and none requiring a direct answer except manKs. Especially encouraging was a letter from a television sponsor, Benzhaf, director of advertising for Ihe company which sponsors Circle Theater: "This is just to let you know that here is one advertiser who agrees with you completely. I have long felt that these two (rat ing and star, theories promoted not only had programming, but poor advertising as well." course I know that I am no expert on such things, but it would seem to me that puor people have colds, sufler from sinus, have headaches and the like.

(LTD Police suspected robbery today as the motive for the murder of Mrs. Helen Maude Edgren, wealthy and eccentric widow of a nationally known sports cartoonist. .Mrs. Edgren's body was found Monday in the bedroom of her secluded home, clad in a nylon nightgown and wrapped in a tan died bedsheet. A blue and white; linen guest towel was around her neck. Deputy Coroner Robert Wallace said she had been strangled two to four days before.

A friend, Mrs. Mary Gould, dis covered the body. She had missed seeing Mrs Edgren on her daily strolls. Entering Mrs. Edgren's hom by an unlocked back door, Mrs. Gould went upstairs and found tha body on the floor. She called police. The room was in complete dis array, indicating Mrs. Edgren had put up a fierce battle despite her 90 pounds. A number of small coins were strewn about the room. A hand bag containing only $20 lay on her bed. Mrs. Edgren's husband, Robert W. Edgren. was a famed cartoon ist and sports writer. In the early days of his career, he did cartoon. ing for the San Francisco Exam iner and the old New York Jour. nal. lie died in 1939. The Edgrens had one son.

In terms that the average, swel tering man will understand, they arc trying to think themselves cool. This is no simple feat, and the Japanese have spent centuries perfecting an elaborate set of gimmicks to help their mental air-conditioning systems to func tion smoothly. One is Ihe wind-bell, a simple, charming device that captures the faintest breath of a breeze and magnifies it into a tinkling little sound. Almost every home and of fice has one. Most Gardens arc equipped with water spouts that release a tiny trickle of water. The constant drip, drip" sound was used quite effectively by medieval torturers to drive their captives mad. but Explorer V Still Mystery Doori Opan 1:30 Show Starts ot 2:00 Out At 4:1 J WEDNESDAY iEE FOR KIDS!

Mir IURAD0 CLAIRE KCUY METROCOLOK s A. ft? if you're in the right frame of mind, the dripping noise actually helps you to think cool. In the doorways of many de partment stores and large shops, the Japanese set a large chunk of ice atop a stand. The ice often is sculptured in the shape of ani mals and surrounded by cool-look ins sprigs of leaves. The theaters do their part too. At lokyos hoktisai Theater the "Atomic Girls" billed as the hot test things in town when the weather is cooler cavort amidst waterfalls, gushing streams. Donds ana occasional thunderstorms. the traditional Japanese Kahuki Theater also offers summer plots with plenty of water but the Ka buki bas something even better to chill the audience ghost plays. Nearly every summer program includes the "Yotsuya Kaidan." a spine-tingling drama written during the 18th century. The beautiful heroine, in ghast ly succession, is poisoned, finds that her hair is falling out and her face growing disfigured, as a result, stabs herself and watches helplessly, in her last moment, as a giant rat chews her newly-born baby to death. That's not the end of the hor ror, either, She becomes a ghost! and, alter learning her husband has poisoned her and killed her father, haunts him until he dies in a final, agony-drenched scene. The Japanese also have a few other techniques for heating the heat. On the theory that if you whack yourself over the head with hammer your headache won't seem half as bad. many of them lake summer baths where the wa ter is just under the boiling point. They emerge bright red and stcoat for hours afterward, but the explanation is that since it's in disputahly cooler outside the bath, then the bath is refreshing. GOP, Democrats Nominate Senate Candidates In NY By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS New York state Republicans and Democrats nominate their candidates for U. S. senator to day while Alaska residents make their big decision on whether to join the Union as the 49th state. Other voting takes place in Mississippi, where state Demo crats nominate a senator, six con gressmen and local officers. Two political veterans, Demo cratic Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York City and Republican Rep. Kenneth B. Keating, ap peared in line for reluctant nom ination as senatorial candidates in New York. The Democrats and Republi cans found it much more difficult to choose nominees for the Sen ate than for the governor's race. Monday night, as expected, the Democrats nominated Gov. Avcr- ell Harriman for a second four year term and the Republicans tapped Nelson A. Rockefeller to oppose him. Democratic leaders, finding dif ficulty in agreeing on a candidate for senator, hoped to persuade Wagner to make the run as a compromise choice. Party offi cials were unable to get together behind one of the six active can didates. Wagner had said he did not want to run. However, should the Wagner draft fail, there was a possibility the nomination would go to Thom- K. finletler, former secretary of the Air Force who is now a New York City lawyer, or to Dist. Atty. Frank S. Hogan, also of New York City. Keating, like Wagner, voiced no interest in the Senate race. The general outlook in Alaska was for a 2-1 victory for state hood advocates. Congress gave a go-ahead for the referendum several months ago when it passed an Alaska statehood bill. In Mississippi, five incumbent members of Congress are un opposed for Democratic renomi nation, which is tantamount to election. They are Sen. John Stennis and Representatives Tom Abernethy, Jamies Whitten, Frank Smith and John Bell Williams. We've Got 'em! Buy Now for School!
