OREGON PAGE 2 A "DENNIS THE MENACE" L-i r High Cost Of Top Stars Headache To Film Studios Offers Besiege Inventor Of No Air Collision Device LOS ANGELES (UP1) Inventor Elmer Mtukel, debt - ridden "dreamer" whose idea (or a de vice to prevent aircraft collisions aroused wide interest, was a key figure today in a race to develop his device. Where before, the lanky, self educated Meukel had trouble in teresting anyone in his electronic motion detector, his main problem now was considering offers and protecting his interests. Shortly after returning over the weekend from three months wan dering that took him to a Hcno, Nev.. hobo jungle, the inventor to day contacted attorney Leonard Weinberg. Weinberg planned to go over the rontract Meukel signed with the Polaris Engineering Company be fore leaving home in a "mental funk" last June to escape crcdi tors. The pact calls for Meukel to re ecive 3'j per cent in royalties if his device works. The total could amount to $.15,000 a year. Polaris officials were anxious to reach an agreement with the in ventor so company engineers could (tart work on development of the Invention. Meukel scoffed at a million dol lar damnge suit filed against him Dtt you windows iwoot? STORM WINDOWS Made to Measure FREE ESTIMATES George Clark V"u by Comapco Inc. The firm claimed his invention might have infringed on the company's patent rights of its motion detector. The 41-year-old inventor wanted to know how his device could have infringed on another 'when no one but he knows the details of it. 'Weinberg said Meukel had re ceived one offer for his invention from U. S. Dynapower Electronic Corp., Franklin Park, H. The com pany was reported to have offered 25 per cent of the gross profits on the invention providing it works. Editor's Note The fabled studio tycoons, who since the beginning of Hollywood time exercised auto cratic authority over every tace' of movie making, are gone or fad- A new set of faces has taken over, faces laminar to all wno watch the silver screen. Associ ated Press motion picture writer Bob Thomas describes this strange revolution in four columns. By BOB THOMAS AP Motion Picture Writer HOLLYWOOD IAP These are the men who now rule the movie industry: Marlon Brando. Gary Cooper Tony Curtis, Kirk Douglas, Clark Gable. Cary Grant, William Hold en. Burt Lancaster, Gregory Peck. Frank Sinatra, Stewart and John Wayne. A golden dozen. They hold the balance of power in Hollywood just as surely as the town was once ruled by the pioneering pro ducers. The pioneers are dying, and the strength of the maior stu dios has steadily ebbed. The top draw stars have moved into the vacuum. If there is any doubt about the strength of this talented 12. you have only to ask the major and independent producers in town. They are screaming over what they have to pay those stars to get their services. Couple Robs Rug Dealer KANSAS CITY (AP)-The well dressed couple seemed pleased with four antique "Oriental rugs which Mrs. Josephine Potter, an 83-year-old invalid, had advertised for sale. They looked at them Sunday and returned Monday with $210. While the man carried the rugs to his car, the woman stayed in side the house with Mrs. Potter, who will enter a hospital next week for hip surgery. "When the man came back he grabbed up the $210 and took $10 from my purse." Mrs. Potter said. Then the couple left, taking along two linen table cloths and a china soup tureen for good measure. Workers Die From Fumes DETROIT IAPI Gas fumes m a forge plant furnace of Chrysler Corp. killed two workmen Mon day. The two, Joseph Bonk. 42, of llamlramck, and Fred Bradshaw, J-l, of Detroit, were overcome by carbon monoxide gas while clean ing the furnace. The furnace had been shut down since Friday for cooling and cleaning. Company officials called in ex nerts to determine the source of the gas. The furnace cleaning is routine work and gas masks arc not normally needed. Another employe found Bonk and Bradshaw on the furnace floor. Ladies They t! Values to $14,95!

Sixth Next to Oregon Food CHICAGO UPI -The retiring president of the National Federa tion of Grandmother Clubs of Amer ica said Monday night the mod ern grandmother has shed her shawl in favor of the sack. Mrs. Thomas Stalcup. H9. Akron Ohio, said before the federation was formed grandma s place was in the rocking chair and baby sit ting. She said grandmothers now don't have time to rock because they're too busy taking part in community affairs through social and welfare organizations. And. she added, "we don't let our children push the baby sitting chores off on us all the time. Mrs. Stalcup said not only have some grandmothers abandoned their gray hair and shawls, they "have gone so far as to wear sack dresses and tint their hair. The federation, holding its 2i)lh annual convention here, received a message Monday from President Eisenhower, a grandfather. "As hnmemakers. mothers and grandmothers you have an impor tant role m directing and building the character of our citizens," the President's message read in pail An MGM producer recently wailed to a columnist that the stu dio's product was stalled because stars wanted a wing or me aa ministration building plus a mil lion dollars. Though they may scream, the producers pay and how they pay: Take a look at some of these re ports: Paramount gives Brando all the profits on his new Western deducting only studio and distri bution expenses. Twentieth Century - Fox pays Holden and Wayne $750,000 apiece plus 20 per cent of the profits for each of them on "The Horse Sol diers." Many producers claim that such deals are outrageous and that the stars are pricing the film busi- james,ness into Bankruptcy. I nc creator oi me movie enas up working for a salary, an in dependent producer complained You've practically got to give away 125 per cent of the picture to line up stars. By the time the talents' demands are met, there's no profit left for anyone." The stars appear unconcerned In the case of Bill Holden. he can point out that his last five film: have averaged a world gross of between 12 and 14 million dollars His "Bridge on the River Kwai' deal is offered as proof that there can be prolit for everyone in good picture. Holden was oflered 10 cents of every dollar that came in the box office. The film is one of the all time greats, and his take will amount to 21 j million dollars. His payments are limited to $50,000 a year, so he can be still collect ing when he's a great-grandfather. On the strength of just such gold mines as "Kwai," producers continue to offer fabulous deals to the 12 stars. The fact is that with one those famous names on a contract, the movie makers have trouble lining up the money thev need to make a film. And without those names, a major studio cannot remain major. Of course, the golden dozen are not the only stars who can draw big money. There are others, but their power is not quite as in tense. What about the girls? I'm glad you asked. If you wanted to be gallant, you would have to add Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor for a more (etch ing 14. Consider these deals: MM gets 10 cents of every box office dollar for "Some Like It Hot." Liz draws a half-million plus 10 per cent of the gross for "Two for the Seesaw. Bvit despite their impressive figures, the girls shouldn't be list ed among Hollywood's new rulers. The reason: few big pictures are about women. Most of the epics concern the stalwart heroes whom Messrs. Brando through Wayne portray so effectively and profit ably.

Clnford Brmey sa:d tbe steam apparently escaped WASHINGTON I API Presiden Eisenhower apparently is eager U lay his prestige heavily on tlu line in a stepped-up congressional campaign he says may decide the (ate of "moderate government." His White House pep meeting. with GOP leaders Monday pro duced strong signs that he will bear down on the tvtin issues of socialism and higher taxes in forthcoming chin'-ui tour to stir up Republican voters.. At the same tune, he made it clear he is ready to take on all Democratic critics of the manner which he has handled the crisis over Ouemoy and Matsu. GOP National Chairman Meade Alcorn reported Eisenhower was "very vigorous" in condemning those who contend the Nationalist- held islands aren't worth fighting for. Alcorn quoted the President saying his critics missed the point that Jhe principle of halting possible Communist aggression is involved. However, a joint statement is sued by the conferees alter a 2'i- hour session with Eisenhower laid heaviest stress on the contention that continued Democratic control of Congress would point the coun try "down the left lane which leads inescapably to socialism Alcorn said the statement was revised to include some president ial suggestions. This led to an as sumption that Eisenhower may be pigeon-hdling his theme of "Mod ern Republicanism" for the time being in favor of an attack on the old-line GOP s target of "social ism." In the past some Republicans have grumbled that Eisenhowef himself was too much of a New Dealer to suit them because of his proposals for expansion of so cial and welfare services of the government. The presidentially approved statement pictured a black future for private entei prise if the Demo crats win in November. It said that because the Demo cratic partv is dominated by certain politico-labor bosses and left-wing extremists" any future Congress controlled by the party would be tar to the left of the New and Fair Deals." "Taxation for political purposes would again become a harsh real ity with an increased Democratic majority in Congress." the GOP leaders said. "Imposition of high or federal taxes to finance grandi ose spending scnemes would oe- come a reality." Alcorn quoted Vice President Nixon as expressing the belief at the conference that peace and ec onomic recovery are the principal campaign issues. In this connection. Aicorn ported that Chairman Andrew F Schoeppel (Rani ot tne itepuou can Senatorial campaign iommn tee said he had found a tremend ous reservoir of confidence in the President in the handling of for eicn affairs. Sen. Schoeppel also said he had found that the people generally believe the President handled the economic recession in the right wav." Alcorn said. However. Sen. Hubert Humph rev (D-Minni disputed this, well as the optimistic reports about Republican chances that came out of the White House meeting. "There is a general lack of con fidence in the Eisenhower admin islration in both foreign and do mestic affairs.' Humphrey said "The people of the country have a feeling that things are not right that there is no one in charge of the store." Humphrev. a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee. sa:d Eisenhower had changed position on Qnemoy and Matsu by indicating this country is willm :o negotiate for withdrawal of The American people are not favor of becoming involved in hostilities with Red China over he offshore islands." he said.
