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

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

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

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
