Page 6 : By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD w—They said * couldn’t be done. But a producer has gotten a movie script out of “From Here to Eternity,” the best- selling book laden with sex, four- letter words and slaps at the Army. Many Hollywood producers had been interested in the James Jones novel. But most despaired of how to. combine its elements into.a movie that would get the combined blessing of the censors and the Pentagon. Columbia took & chance and bought the book. The gamble apparently has paid off, because the studio claims it has an acceptable script which will be done before the cameras in Janu- ary. ‘ The man who accomplished this is Buddy Adler, a distinguished- looking producer who is a reserve Army officer himself—“So I know what the Army would and would mot approve.” The actual scripting was done by Dan Taradash. Novelist Jones was first brought out to whip up a treatment for his book, but that didn’t’ work out. “Jones didn’t seem to understand the censorship problems we have in the movies,” producer Adler explained. “Of course the four-letter words had to go,” he continued. “‘We try fo retain the same flavor by sub- stituting words that have the same sort of feeling but are not offen- sive to audiences.” Much of the sex remains, he added, but in a form that will pass the Breen Office, Hollywood's self-censorship group. Adler re- marked that one of the characters will retain a relationship with a lady of the evening, while another character dallies with someone eise’s wife. “But the Breen Office stipulate: that sin must be punished,” he said. “So the characters will suffer for their transgressions.” Some changes have been made fm anticipation of Army disapprov- al, he remarked. The brutality of a stockade beating of a prisoner by a sergeant has been altered, he said. “Also, the character of the Army captain is somewhat different,” he said. “We show that he is a bad officer and make no effort to crim there aren't bad officers in 1» Army.sBut there is a depart- * °* Known as the inspector gen- ’ “"'s office, which can take over command and investigate in- vpetent officers.

Adler feels confident that this and other, changes will meet the Red Expert Says Avoid War News And Prolong Life By EDDY GILMORE MOSCOW (#—The Soviet Union's outstanding authority on how to live longer—Prof. Olga Lepeshin- skaya—today disclosed her formu- la; take soda baths and avoid war propaganda.

He has received tentative but not final agreement from the authorities. “I could make the picture with- out Army approval,” he said. “‘but it is cheaper and more realistic to use actual locales, which the Army would provide. Besides, I don’t think zt would be right to make any picture in these times which might reflect badly on the armed forces.” The producer takes off this week to scout locations with director Fred Zinneman (“The Search,” “High Noon”). So far, Montgom- ery Clift is the only casting; he'll play Pruitt. Clift and other stars have sought to appear in the film. Among the others is Frank Sin- atra, who requested a test as the Italian GI. Adler said that the theme of the film will be the same as in the book—the life of the peacetime soldier. “We'll show how the soldier be- fore Pearl Harbor was almost shunned by the other Americans,” he said. “They didn’t want Army men around. Now the’situation has changed, since every family in the country. has had members in the Army. I think it will remain that way during our lifetimes.” SENATOR FERGUSON IS OUT OF HOSPITAL CADILLAC, Mich. (#—Sen.

And some auto makers say they may have to shut down by Feb- Tuary unless their steel quotas are Taised. | Due to last summer's steel =| strikes, mills are behind on deliv- | eries. But spokesmen of the steel in- j dustry fear that by mid-1953- their fast expanding capacity will have gone beyond the point of demand from the users—both military and civilian. And others close to the industry oes that government requests for further expansion of facilities to make certain kinds of steel es- pecially wanted by the military is raising the question: Will the industry lose money on such fa- cilities in peacetime? Still others predict that by next year U. S. steel mills may be seeking new export markets — ‘only to. run into competition from European mills. And they add the warning that there are signs al- ready of approaching overproduc- 1d/ tion in the international steel mar- collage games cost as much as $20] ket. And still another worry hangs over the steel mills, How long will their coalpiles last with the min- ers out in protest’ of the Wage Board's refusal to let the operators raise pay by $1.90 a day? The plight of the appliance mak- ers stems from this: Steel inven- tories fell during the steel strike, and so did the inventories of the appliance makers’ products. De- mand for these has recently. in- creased sharply, and now all ge steel they want is not av: under government aliocatiogg. Government officials think it will all come right later this win- ter, but it’s the present the users are talking about. 4 The hassel over steel expansion is aired by the Trade Magazine, the Iron Age. “Some of the product capacities the government would like to. see expanded most are considered least profitable in a peacetime economy,” the Iron Age says. It predicts, “keen disappointment in some government circles.” Some steel items needed for de- fense and defense-supporting pro- grams are in extremely short sup- ply now, the weekly says, adding: “However, industry expansion plans are based on estimates of demand over the next several years. When put to this test some of these products do not look like good breadwinners.” Many leaders of the steel in- dustry are on record as fearing that government pressure for ex- pansion of steel capacity is bring- ing them close to the day when— with military demand ebbing — they will have too little civilian demand to keep all their furnaces going.
