Is The Double Feature
Still A Popular Thing?
By BOB THOMAS
AP Movle-TV Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP)-The time
has come for the movie industry
to do some thinking about the dou
ble feature.
Does the public still want it?
Can the film business still af
ford it?
The twin bill has been wilh us
since the Depression days, when
theaters tried to cure lagging
business by giving the public dou
ble its money's worth.
Double leatures haxe long been
attacked by producers, especially
Samuel Goldwyn. but they contin
ued to be the mode of film presen
tation. Why? Because theater men
thought movie-goers liked it that
way.
But times have changed. As a
straw in the wind. Variety tells
of two single - feature houses on
Long Island, N. V., that generally
onldraw the double-feature thea
ters in the area.

It makes sense. If you, the
movie goer, can be convinced that
.he double feature is no bargain.
ihe theater men will come around
Kor they are faced with three con
dilions that make the single bill
more urgent.
1. Movies are longer than ever
The 80-minute leature is almost
obsolete. A Iwo-hnur minimum is
standard for an important film
these days. Three-hour epics are
not uncommon.
There's nothing wrong with long
pictures. But two longies in a row
are hard to take for even the most
rabid of fans.
2 Movies are fewer than ever.
Hollywood is making less than
hall the number of features that it
used to.
In their desperation to make up
double bills, many exhibitors have
taken to combining a new picture
with an oldie. People can get
enough old movies on TV.
3. Movies are costlier than ever.
The industry can claim that the
ater admissions haven't risen as
much as other consumer prices.
But people still resent paying pre
mium fees for what was once in
expensive entertainment. Single
lealures could help cut costs.
Gl To Get Help
From Rockets
ABERDEEN, Md. (AP) - A
rocket designed to give a foot
soldier some defense against a
strafing plane is being developed,
according to the Army's weapons
research staff.
Lt. Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau
told about the rocket at a news
conference at the Army Proving
Ground Wednesday.
The "Red Eye" uses the same
principle as the "Sidewinder," an
air-to-air missile which is at
tracted to the heat of an engine.
The ground-to-air weapon is
fired by hand from a bazooka
like launcher and is effective up
to one mile, Gen. Trudeau said

Nixon Gets To See
Heavy Red Industry
SVERDLOVSK, Soviet Union
'API Vice President' Richard
M. Nixon took a long look today
at heavy industry in Siberia, vis
iting a huge tube rolling mill and
a copper mine near this city of
600,000 on the east slopes of the
Jral Mountains.
High spots ol the nearly 11-hour
schedule were tours through the
Pervouralsk mill and Ihe Degty-
arsk mine. Nixon also took a long
drive through the area surround
ing Sverdlovsk, a center for the
production of strategic metals,
armaments, chemicals and heavy
machinery.
Despite the hecklers who dogged
his footsteps Wednesday in Novo
sibirsk and again in Sverdlovsk,
Nixon said his welcome in the So
viet Union has been warmer than
Allies To
Ask Delay
In Meeting
GENEVA (AP) - The Western
Allies planned today to ask the
Soviet Union to agree to a long
recess beginning next Wednesday
in the Big Four foreign minis
ters' conference. The Allies ob
viously hoped that an agreement
to renew negotiations would sus
pend the Soviet threat to West
Berlin.
There was no indication Soviet
Forei&.i Minister Andrei Gromy
ko would agree to a recess.
There was no expectation on the
Western side that Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev's speech in the
Ukraine, made public today,
promised any change in the So
viet position that might make it
worthwhile to continue 1 negotia
tions now. '
Although Khrushchev called for
renewed efforts by the foreign
ministers and said the Geneva
conference had made progress, he
oflered no modification of the So
viet demands which the West has
rejected.
British Foreign Secretary Scl-
wyn Lloyd reportedly would like
to persuade his Western Allies to
agree to a summit conference to
follow up the present Big Four
meeting. But there presently is no
prospect the United States and
France will agree that sufficient
progress has been , achieved here
to justify going to the summit.
Barring a sudden turnabout by
the U.S.S.R. on some crucial is
sue in the Berlin negotiations,
most Western diplomats now be
lieve the foreign ministers meet
ing will break up in failure with
out agreement on either Berlin or
a summit gathering.
The Wednesday deadline was set
on the initiative of Secretary of
State Christian A. Hertcr, who
said he is going to attend the
meeting of the Organization of
American States opening in San
tiago, Chile, Aug. 19 and wants
a few days in Washington to pre
pare for that conference. Lloyd
and French Foreign Minister Mau
rice Couve de Murville agreed to
his proposal.
Following a long luncheon meet
ing between Herter and Gromyko,
Assistant Secretary of State An
drew H. Berding announced that
"Mr. Gromyko and Mr. Herter
agreed that we would wind up by
Wednesday of next week."
However, a Soviet spokesman
said that Herler's departure left
Gromyko no choice but to go home
himself. It appeared the Soviets
were putting themselves in posi
lion to put full blame for a break
off on the U.S. secretary It that
suited their propaganda purposes.

he expected, especially in Siberia
which has been a closed region to
most foreign visitors: Thousands
turned out in Novosibirsk and
Sverdlovsk to applaud him.
Nixon canceled a dinner in his
honor Wednesday night to work
on a speech he will give from
Moscow Saturday night over the
Soviet radio and television net
work. In it he will urge that Si
beria be opened up to more for
eign visitors and to more ideas
from outside.
Nixon told hecklers here in Sver
dlovsk that Western radio broad
casts to them are being jammed
and that they do not know the
truth. The Soviets ought to have
the right to hear both sides, he
said, urging them to listen to his
broadcast.
The hecklers' themes in both
Novosibirsk and Sverdlovsk were
markedly similar, and Nixon's
press aide, Herbert G. Klein, hint
ed the Soviet government had
primed agents with hostile ques
tions.
The hecklers usually asked why
Ihe United Slates maintained bas
es around the Soviet Union and
why the United States wouldn't
ban nuclear weapon tests at once.
In a discussion outside a steel
mill here Nixon told plant super
intendent Nicolai Stravtsev: "You
don't know the truth. You are jam
ming Western radio broadcasts."
"What you present," Stravtsev
countered, "is not ideas but dirty
slanders."
Nixon told him he could "stick
to your own ideas, but you ought
lo have the right to choose what
you hear and read."
"Why must you let somebody
else tell ' you what you must
hear?" Nixon asked Stravtsev.'"
"I am surprised that a bright
man like you should stick to such
an outmoded system," the Russian
answered. .
Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, broth
er of President Eisenhower, and
Vice Adm. Hyman G. Rickover,
the atomic submarine expert,
helped Nixon answer the hecklers.
"What about your rocket
bases?" asked one young man.
"What about your rocket

Planes Carry
Atom Bombs
HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) -Atomic
bombs are stored at
Homestead Air Force Base and
jet bombers carry them over
south Florida on practice mis
sions, the Air Force has disclosed.
"We're not just sitting here,"
said Maj. Carl Harris, Homestead
disaster control officer. "We have
a job to do, and our aircralt are
flying around wilh them (atomic
bombs).".
He made the statement Wednes
day during a meeting of Air Force
and Dade County (Miami) police
and fire officials called to set up
plans in case of emergency.
The possibility of dropping a
bomb accidentally on south Flor
ida is remole, Harris said. If it
did happen, there would be no nu
clear explosion.

Big Ship
Ready To
NEW YORK (API The Queen
Elizabeth, world's largest luxury
liner, was set to sail today as re
pairs were rushed on her hull fol
lowing a collision with a freighter
during patchy fog in New York
harbor.
There were no injuries to pas
sengers or crew aboard the out
bound 83,000-tone Queen and the in
bound 10,460-ton American Hunter.
The ships came together about
3:30 p.m. Wednesday near the en
trance to Ambrose Channel about
I'-i miles off Coney Island. Both
vessels were damaged above the
water line. At the helm of each
were trained harbor pilots.
The mishap in the freakish fog
no visibility in some areas and
good visibility in others led to the
harbor . being shut down for 24
hours.
Repair crews went to work on
the three-foot hole in the star
board bow of the liner immediate
ly after dusk, when tugs brought
her back to Pier 90 where she
had lifted anchor just six hours
earlier.
The impact was felt only as a
dull thud aboard the Elizabeth.
Few of the ship's 1,9) passengers
knew what had happened.
The American Hunter, just ar
rived from the Elizabeth's home
port of Southampton, carried a
crew of 50 plus 6 passengers. The
freighter suffered a two-foot crack
in her bow. The Hunter is owned
by the United States Lines.

He said both of the Queen's ra
dars were functioning and showed
no other ships closer than 1.6
miles.
The Queen was sounding her fog
horn steadily. Bell said, when "the
other ship suddenly appeared out
of the fog on the starboard bow."
He said the Queen's engines,
ihrown full speed astern, brought
her to a dead stop before the col
lision. "The American Hunter Was at
right angles to the Queen Eliza
beth at the time, and was not go
ing very fast," Bell said.
Lewis Funke, New York Times
drama editor aboard the Eliz
abeth, wrote in a dispatch from
the vessel that the blow "caused
this mammoth vessel to quiver,
but not a glass stirred on the din
ing salon tables."
When the Elizabeth returned to
her North River berth, a crowd of
about 2,000 were at the pier.
All passengers elected to remain
aboard the Elizabeth except Two.
Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Anderson left
the ship around midnight saying
that the collision had ruined their
schedule and they would seek oth
er means of transportation to Eu
rope. The Elizabeth s passenger list
included Floyd Odium, financier;
Gen. James A. Van Fleet (retired),
former commander of the 8th Ar
my in Korea; Jacob Grumet, head
of the New York State Investiga
tion Commission; and Harold W,
