The actor of Egyptian films t , won the proverbial overnight ; ', fame in the West with his role .' in "Lawrence of Arabia." .'; Recently Sharif finished a job j in Spain of acting with ophia i-'ILoren in 'The Rise and Fall of J.'the Roman Empire." Now in J France, the fellow who a year ' ago was not known past the Nile ' River is sharing equal honors .- ' with veterans Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn in "Behold the Pale 'Horse," being filmed in Paris and Pau, France. Receives Many Offers His dark, good looks have brought a suitcase full of offers to play sensual desert lovers on - horseback. But Sharif Is one new ; : ; matinee idol who is outspoken on . ; his reluctance to be one. "No camels, no burnooses. ;-said Sharif in an interview at ;-'his Paris hotel. "If a romantic part comes along with great character, yes, but no stupid -; young lovers. : "I want to be known as a good -; character actor, not a lover or I ; matinee idol. Like Anthony ; - Quinn. No desert love stories. ; -want nice air-contioned Indoors. 1 turned down bon oi Sheik as tasteless. You have a longer ca- . reer as a character actor. Sharif also shows signs of be coming an offscreen colorful character. His candid comments on the "before and after" Sharif present an interesting portrait of a man abruptly entering a new ' : life. Wife Big Star ; In Egyptian films, he said, he lyaa "not as Important" as his ye, Faten Hamama, the lead ing movie queen in Egypt. The visiting "Lawrence" producers . -were invited to the couple s home I'; in Cairo and discovered Sharif spoke English. He was tapped for an Impor .' tant role on condition he hava a black mole removed from his : face. He bowed to Hollywood de- mauds and received "thousands" ; of letters from indignant Egypt ; : ian fans, he said. ; . Sharif appeared to ba enjoying his new real-life role as the first ;: Egyptian actor to find stardom .; abroad. He speaks fluent "Brit. I;3sli" English, French,' Arabic, I; Spanish and Italian. :: He hasn't been in Egypt for :-18 months because of making ' three films abroad. He plans to ; : establish a home in Paris where he can pursue his newly found International life. His wife, who still is back in Cairo, "wants to stop working" except for an oc casional film In Egypt now that ; : her husband has hit the Interns- : tional jackpot. dinavian Airlines System 'SASI schedules nightly tourist flights from Stockholm to Kiruna and back. The plane leaves Stockholm Bromma Airport at 9 p.m., and returns at S a.m., the following day. During their brief stop in Ki runa, passengers are snuttieo oy motor coach to nearby Jukkas Jar- vi, a Lapp village, to meet some villagers, sample native delicacies and stand eyeball-to-eyeball with a real Lapland reindeer. A 16th century church and Lapp museum are among the things to see. The local cuisine includes smoked reindeer meat and an Arc tic berry Jam. Live Nomadic Life The majority of the hardy Lapps still live the nomadic life, following their reindeer neras across the north of Scandinavia. But. like most Swedes, the Lapps at Kiruna are at least bilingual and cheerfully tell about their his tory and customs in English. They wear the traditional Lapp costume of blue, red and yellow with a red-tasseled cap. I The flight north, approximate ly 550 miles. Is far more than transportation to Kiruna. The two-i engine plane flies at about 1.500 feet, sometimes lower, while multi lingual guide describes points of interest below. A circui tous, low-level tour of Stockholm, a pass over the historic univer sity city of Uppsala, the fir for ests and log-filled rivers of Swe den's rich lumbering country, busy Baltic ports and fishing villages are among the sights. At about midnight, the aircraft crosses the Arctic Circle and Kebndkajse, Sweden's highest mountain, comes into view. Pas sengers are invited to the cock pit to look at the sunlighted hori zon ahead and photograph it if they wish. Many Photographers Everyone Is an aerial photogra pher on the Midnight Sun flight and the beauteous forests, lakes and snow-crested mountains of Sweden's north offer rewarding subjects. Color film is a must to capture the rugged terrain sil houetted against the sun. (Just in case SAS gives souvenir color slides to passengers.) Before touching down at Kiruna airport, the plane passes over the vast mountain of iron to which the Far North city owes its existence. Large quantities of high-grade iron ore were discovered there 60 years ago and the early Klon dike-type mining settlement has grown into a modern city of 23.000. Kiruna is the largest city of the world in administrative area .038 square miles. For tourists on a Norwegian holi day, SAS schedules a similar Mid night Sun flight nightly between Oslo and Bodo, an important com munications center on Norway s northwest coast. Automobiles take passengers on to Ronvikfjellet for spectacular sunlighted view of the rugged north, including the cuffs of the Lofoten Islands. A midnight supper of local cuisine is served before a crackling log fire in the tourist chalet. The cost of either the Stockholm to Kiruna or Oslo to Bodo round trip flight is $78. From Copenha gen, via either Stockholm or Oslo, the cost is $135.30. Plant Converts Water From Sea PITTSBURGH UPI Your seswater been tasting different lately? That's because of a new tech nique known as "thin-film vapor compression," developed by West inghouse Research Laboratories to make fresh water from the sea. The process, which eventually could reduce the cost of seawater conversion below the $l-per-thou-sand-gallon mark, is an improve ment on established methods. It desalts ocean water by changing it to a vapor and condensing it back again to a liquid, leaving salt and other- impurities behind. The basic principle of salt wa ter conversion was well known to scientists. Westinghouse-built evaporator plants already have installed a capacity of more than six million gallons of converted seawater daily. The latest development is at Point Loma flash evaporator plant of the Office of Saline Wa ter near San Diego, Cain. Here a million gallons daily are converted. Hunting Fun Starts Soon!

Skates Speed Development Of Jetliner LONG BEACH, Calif. (UPD- It is taking something as prosaic as roller skstes to get the 560-mile-an-hour DCS jetliner off the ground. Douglas Aircraft Co. officially started work on the twin-Jet craft last April with the first test flight scheduled for early in 1965. Ironically development of the fast-flying DC9 was being slowed down by the hum-drum routine of 'delivering blueprints to engineers working in the 600,000 square loot facility. Hundreds of hours were wasted while engineers waited for 'delivery of blueprints from one part of the new Donald W. Doug las Engineering Center to anoth er. Douglas solved the problem roller skates. The Idea was first used by the firm during World War II at a plant on Manchester Avenue Four messengers skated up and down the halls there from 1041-44 i another period when speed was essential in processing engineer ing documents. Douglas again called upon the method during the Korean War and used roller skating messen gers at its El Segundo. Calif., fa cility from 1049 to 19K. Now three teen-age girls, clad In capri pants, deliver blueprints oi tne dcs to experts in less than half the time required on foot. Plant officials said a future pre requisite for messengers here would be an ability and willing ness to roller skate. Science Seeks More Women MADISON, N.J. (UPI) - The number of women training for ca reers in science is increasing, but not rapidly enough. So says Dr. William G. Torpey, manpower specialist, Office of Emergency Planning, the federal government. Torpey, writing In the current issue of "University Woman," said additional numbers of wom en should be enrolled in collegiate programs to "meet even current demands" for scientists. He predicted there would be opportunities for considerable additional numbers of women" in the field. He added that "a fun damental reason for the very small number. . .is traditional (although seemingly irrational) attitude that science is a man's field." The "University Woman" Is a quarterly magazine published on the campus here of Fairleigh Dickinson University.
