Newspaper Page TextPAGS 4 A Diana Lived In Shadows Of Her Famous Family NEW YORK (UPD Diana Barrymore had a way of denying that her soul was tormented by failure to measure up consistently tn the stature of one of the stage's most famous names. "The fact that I came from a long line of Barrymores isn't going to make me feet that 1 must always keep striving to live up to their accomplishments," she taid. And yet, set alone on a prefa tory page of her autobiography, is a quotation from the preface of the Temple edition of Hamlet: ". . .Shakespeare sought to depict a great deed laid upon a soul un equal In the performance of it." Investigators who thronged her apartment after she was found dead in her bed Monday found it crowded with pictures of her fa ther, John Barrymore, acclaimed the greatest actor of his time with Hamlet his crowning achievement. And there were pictures of her renowned aunt and uncle, Ethel and Lionel Barrymore, and me mentos of the other acting Barry- mores and Drews who had given her a heritage of four generations of theater greatness in America and England. , It was Dolores Coslello Barry mure, Diana's stepmother, who j.nid on Diana's death that "she was badly treated all her life. Diana's half-sister, Dolores Bar rymore Bedell, commented this week in California: "I think it's lime someone said something good about Diana. Only my mother (Dolores Coslello Bar r.vniore) and I ever had anything good to say about her. Mother laid you can sum up the story of Diana's life in two words: 'No body cared.' Oh, she came to us all right, but it was too late. She didn't come to us as a child but as a beaten woman. 'Nobody cared' should have been the title of her book." The incomparable Aunt Ethel once told. Diana: "Never, never, never stop trying to improve yourself. Any role can be bet tered. Do It." Once, Diana took this advice lightly and drank and caroused herself right out of the movies and off the stage. But some four years before her death, she was ttudying and working. And when on the comeback trail she opened In "The Ivory Branch" off Broad way, Brooks Atkinson ot the New Vork Times wrote of her: ". . .Any time she wants to stop - fooling around and learn the dif ference between acting and per forming, she can be an exciting actress. The stuff Is there." A year after that, Diana ended her autobiography with these words: "1 promise. You'll see. You will indeed, Mr. Atkinson! Perhaps 1 have begun lo find my way." Perhaps she had. Some critics aid that for the first lime in her life she was trying hard lo be come an actress. Her last time out, she rang the bell. That was In Chicago. On her previous ap pearance there, in 1454, a critic wrote she was "coarse and stri dent enough to make everyone who loves the theater wish she were named something else." Bill last spring when she ap peared there a changed woman in Tennessee Williams' "The Garden District," critic Sidney J Harris wrote it was "the restora tion of a great name to the Amer ican theater." However, recently she had been Idle, had become depressed, and had begun drinking again, al though she had been warned this would kill her. There now are three members of the family left who have Bar rymore as their last name. In an ef loft to shed some of the burden ot his name, Diana's half-brother. John Barrymore Jr., changed it to John Drew Rarryinorc. His son is John Blylh Barrymore Jr., and his mother is Dolores Costel- lo Barrymore. John Barrymore. the "Great Protile" and "Great Lover." who died at tin of diseases connected with imbibing, lelt Diana's moth er, poetess Michael Strange two years alter the only child's birth He wasn t around Diana much nfler that. And her mother had a busy career. John's divorce came through in 132B. and in Hollywood he mar ried Dolores Cotcllo, years his junior. Alter he broke olf with her, in '.a:, he got into the bi Plea Entered Of Not Guilty Rohm Melvin Hawkins, 18, 12-14 Homedale Hoad, pleaded not guil iy rriaay in district court to a charge of being a minor in pos session of alcohol. Slate police said Hawkins, with two juveniles, was arrested in a ear parked at Ihe county fair grounds January 22 during a teen age dance. In the car was a par tial case of beer and three newly opened bottles. Judge D. E. Van Vactor sched uled Hawkins' trial without jury for 10 a.m. Wednesday. Hawkins wai released on $50 bail. zarre "Caliban and Ariel" pursuit ot him across country by his young protege, Elaine Barrio. They .were married in HWB and toured in a play, with much com ic by-play. When the play stopped in Chi cago, Diana had a brief reunion with the father she idolized a brief meeting, with press photog raphers. Later, when she moved lo Hollywood for the movies, she saw him more frequently. Diana was about to get anolhe chance to prove her comeback this week. Her manager tele phoned her apartment to tell her the good news she had been offered a road company starring role in "A Streetcar Named De sire." A maid took the news to Ihe bedroom. The oiler was loo late. Diana Barrymore was dead Drug Probe Discloses Price Spread WASHINGTON (API - A Iran quilizcr sold to the government lor W) cents a thousand was sold to druggists by the same company for $.'19.50 a thousand, a Senat( investigation discloses. A Senate Antitrust subcommit lee, winding up one phase of a probe of drug prices, brought out this price spread Friday. The company was Ciba Pharmaceuti cal Products of Summit, N.J. Company President T. F. D. Haines said "in retrospect, per haps it was a mistake when we did il we lost money." The (iO- ccnls-a-thousand sale was made last February to Ihe Military Med ical Supply Agency. 'I can't understand why you charge the druggists so much," said Chairman Estes Kcfauver D-Tennl. "While you think your prices are reasonable, there is plenty of room to- reduce them very substantially." Other testimony brought out that the suggested retail price to the public for this Ciba drug was $1)5. 3D a thousand. Haines defended the cost of Ci ba's tranquilizers, and spoke of long yqars of research in develop ping the drug, a derivative of a tropical root plant called rauwol- fia. An official of a small drug com pany, Panray Corp, of Englewood N.J., testified earlier that its own rauwolfia drug was sold to the public for $4.41 a thousand, com pared to Ciba's $(15.38 price. Kefauver said the small com panies have much lower prices but can't afford advertising "lo gel their message before the physi cians who write the prescrip tions." The subcommittee will resume Ihe drug hearings in late Febru ary.

There, experts monitored the airman a condition with instruments and by radio conversation. Barwise complained of leg cramps throughout the test and of frigid lake water seeping into the capsule. "There's a leak in the capsule somewhere," he reported. "I had to pump out water every two hours." Otherwise he said it was smooth sailing. The Air Force said it planned no radical changes in the capsule as a result of the tests. Barwise told newsmen he "thought a lot about ham and eggs, but a steak would taste very good to me right now. He lived on concentrated sur vival foods in the capsule. tails were developed by the office of Ihe secretary of stale accord ing to a procedure suggested by the County Clerks Association. Jordan explained a combined program of reporting returns by telephone and specially installed teletype - writers will insure the most rapid and accurate tabulation of the vote from each county on statewide contests and issues. Each county clerk and registrar of voters will be required lo re port his returns at two-hour in tervals, beginning at 10 p.m. on election night. The system will be similar to that used by the major wire serv ices in rapid tabulation of the vole, and the returns will be im mediately available to all news agencies at the office of the sec retary of state. The county clerks at their ses sions Thursday adopted a resolu- tin pertaining to replies on state wide surveys conducted by the various agencies and departments of government.

And facing them are the armies of NATO, a David by comparison. Recently the Institute for Strate gic Studies in London published a report on the military strength of East and West. The institute is a private organization, but a spokes man for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said the report "gives a very accurate picture." Here is a service-by-service com parison based on the institute's re port: MISSILES: Russia has an esti mated 100 missile bases along the Iron Curtain. Armed with both in tercontinental and intcrm e d i a t e range missiles,' these are located in northeast Prussia around Kocn- igsberg, in the area between Lake Ladoga and the White Sea, in the Thuringian Forest in ' East Ger many, the southern Ukraine, and the Carpathians, The men who man the missiles have been organized into what is virtually a fourth arm of the serv ices under the command of an en gineer general. He commands 200,- 000 men and has control over the manufacture and operation of all nuclear weapons. The Russian ICBM, the T3, has a range of 5,000 miles and a speed of 16,000 mph. The. IRBMs, the T2 and T4, have ranges up to 1,600 miles. NATO has seven intermediate range missile bases, each equipped with 15 missiles. Four are in Britain, two are under con struction in Italy and the seventh- still in the planning stage will be located in Turkey. The American IRBMs Thor and Jupiter have 1,500 mile ranges. The American ICBM, the Atlas, has a range of 5.500 miles and a speed of 15,000 to 20,000 mph. NATO s Atlases are based in the United States under control of the U.S. 1st Missile Division. Soviet Premier Khrushchev boasted December 1 that Russia's stockpile of missiles with nuclear warheads could "raze to the ground all our potential enemies." At his final news conference, for mer defense secretary Neil H. Mc Elroy estimated that Russia and the United States have about the same number of ICBMs a very small number. But he warned that Russian production will surpass the United States in the years ahead. Ground Forces: Russia's (round forces total an estimated 2,700,000 men and those of its satellite na tions 545.000. There are 20 Rus sian divisions and seven East Ger man divisions m East Germany, eight Russian divisions in Hungary, 11 Polish divisions and 14 Czecho- slovakian divisions in their home lands, and 147 Russian divisions in Russia. NATO has 750,000 men: 21 divi sions in Central Europe, 12 in Turkey, five in Greece, seven in Italy and one each in Norway and Denmark. Air Forces: Russia has 20.000 aircraft, NATO 5.000. However, the NATO air forces do not include British and American strategic bombers, which remain under na tional control. Naval Forces: Russia has 2.270 surface vessels and 500 submarines. NATO 1,061 surface vessels and 252 subs. The Russian Navy is modern it has increased from 600,000 tons in l';M0 to 1.600,000 tons today.
