" Actors Strike Film Studios HOLLYWOOD (API - The Screen Actors Guild today called the first strike in its history against producers of theater mo tion pictures, forcing seven major film studios to shut down part oi their operations. No picket lines were expected, but the 14,000 members of the SAG were preparing for a strike at least six weeks long. The guild rejected a request by the Assn. of Motion Picture Pro ducers that lilms now being shot be completed belore the actors walk out. The SAG board of directors also voted to ask the Federal Media tion Service to help settle the dis pute, a guild spokesman said. Main issue is the 2iiM demand that actors be paid part of the earnings of pictures made since LAST 2 DAYS!

East And West Staging Tug Of-War Dver Domination Of Ato Nations i aim Sudan (UPH -going on between Couple Stage Diamond Hunt MOW YOHK (UP1I A pretty brunette and her tiance spent most of the day Sunday melting snowbank to find some ice. Joyce Mullan, 21, and Thomas .VlcCauley, 2.1, were looking for her $2,000 diamond engagement ring. Joyce and Thomas were saying goodnight after a Saturday night dale when the ring came off her finger and found its way into the snowdrift by her door. First cx- planalion was that Joyce had handed the ring hack to Thomas ifter a quarrel and that Thomas angrily tossed it away. ine couple later said the ring slipped off her finger. Any argument if one there was melted a w a y Immediately. loyce and Thomas got down on heir hands and knees and started sifting the snow. No ring. Then they woke her parents to help them, search. Still no ring Around !) a.m. they called the police, and four patrolmen joined them. Shooing away children who wanted to use the precious snow lor a snowball light, they started melting it, shovelful by shovelful wilh hot water. Still no ring. Then the police had to leave, but Joyce and Thomas kept at it They even invited 20 relatives and friends to a dinner mirtv to be lollowed by a snowririlt treasure hunt, but only eight were able to come. The search was temporarily called off. Jovce and Thomas uliinnrri to do a little more hunting before work and after, if necessary to day. The ring was not insured. KHARTOUM, A tug-of-war is Kast and West lor Africa's 26 na ions and 230 million persons. 01 those 2.10 million only two per cent are white. The West is not taking any chances in this struggle and can not allord to do so. Topmost in the minds of the Western nations the old saying that a man "wilh bare feet and empty belly is a candidate for communism." Who is winning? At the mo ment, nobody. Kor both commu nism and capitalism are second ary in the minds of the Alricans, and that means pan-Africanism and nationalism. Indicating the extent of the struggle for Africa, leaders of both sides have visited or plan to visit the continent. President Eisenhower touched down in Tunisia and Morocco on his journey to the Mediterranean and Asia last December: Prime Minister Harold Macmillan toured the British areas in January, Nikita Khrushchev has indicated he will accept invitations from Guinea and Ethiopia later this year. There's even talk that Khrushchev may go to Liberia, the first independent country on the west coast ol Alrica which was settled by ex-slaves from the United States 138 years ago. To this day Liberia uses dollar bills printed in Washington for legal tender. It has no currency notes of its own.) lied China and Russia are prob ing for soft spots as the new African states get their indepen dence after 300 years of European colonial rule. Nevertheless, most leaders of the 20 nations on this huge continent five times the size of continental united stales are friendly to the West. Least favorably disposed arc thought to be Sekou Toure of Guinea and President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, , but neither of them has moved toward making his country a Communist slate. Taking advantage of the East- West jockeying, the African coun tries may be expected to play both sides against the middle If Uncle Sam isn't sufficiently generous and open-handed. Afri can leaders may seek Russian aid. Nasser got Russian help for the lirst stage of construction of Aswan Dam on the Nile: Emperor llailc Selassie recently got a whopping Russian credit of the equivalent of one billion dollars It's all in rubles, however, and has to be spent in rubles The black leaders of all the new African states are united in de nouncing "racial discrimination' and "colonial imperialism." The Communists love to hammer those themes, loo, but the Euro pean powers have been divesting themselves of the colonial lag a; tnst as they could. Great Britain France and Belgium have all of lered independence to their for mer colonies. England started it three years igo when its old Gold Coast colony became the free nation of Ghana. Nigeria becomes free October. Under de Gaulle a whole rait of new countries are popping out in what used to he French West Alrica and French Equator ial Alrica. Guinea was the first French colony below the Sahara to emerge as an Independent state, and just a few weeks ago Belgulm agreed that her big African colony, the Belgian Con go, could De independent me eno of June. Kenya, Tanganyika, Northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, Zanzibar, Uganda and Sierra Leone are on the planning board for indepen dence in the luture. Phased with drawal of British control in from 18 months to 5 years is planned for all of Ihcm, but the irresis tible surge of African nationalism may force the colonial offtake to step up its time-table. This correspondent saw signs in Swahili tor "uhuru" in Kenya, Zanzibar and Tanganyika inde pendence now.

On racial discrimination, Mac millan I old the parliament ol South Alrica in a frank speech in Cape Town that England would no longer support the apartheid policy. Apartheid is South Afri ca's program for separate de velopment of blacks and whites, Some Johannesburg editors blamed the United Slates for Mae- millan's tough talk, but other observers pointed out that Ghana and Nigeria, new black commonwealth nations, had given their point of view to Macmillan as he traveled south to Cape Town.
