Ooh! La! La! Jane Russell ‘| sHere In 3D {Ooh La Lat Jane Russell opens ‘at the Monroe Theater today in “The French Line,” a lush and lus- ty sereen musical comedy in 3D and Technicolor. Fresh from her success in “Gen- tlemen Prefer Blondes,” the jazz- hipped Jane sings and dances through romance and high comedy in this new Howard Hughes pre- sentation as she portrays the rich- est gal in Texas. To avoid fortune hunters she goes to Paree incog- nito, by swapping identities with a New York fasion model, but finds much more in the romance line than she bargained for. Gilbert Ro- land and Arthur Hunnicutt co-star with Miss Russell in “The French ance as comedy 2 dashing French musical star and Huhnicutt sup- plies @ good share of the laughs the role of Jane’s saddle-sore Texas guardian. Also prominent in the cast are Mary McCarty, sing- liott, Craig Stevens and Lauta El- liott. Action of the picture centers on board a liner en route to Paris and in the gay Frénch capital, where beautiful girls and gorgeous gowns provide extra sparkle to this bubbly entertainment. Lloyd Bacon directed “The French Line” for RKO Radio and the music score was written by Joseph Myrow, Ralph Blane and Robert Wells. Billy Daniel staged the dance numbers for Producer Edmund Grainger. They are built around such song hits as “Any Gal From Texas,” “Well, .I’ll Be Swit- ched,” “With A Kiss,” “Comment Allez Vous?” and “What Is This That I Feel?” Line.” Roland provides the rom- Top Diplomats Discuss War -|Deadlock Today" GENEVA (#— Top diplomats at the Geneva conference held a series of private talks today which may determine the fate of the deadlocked Indochina parley. The United States was reported réady to write off the negotiations as a failure unless the Communists drastically change their line. Formal _negotiations were sus- pended for the day. The latest snarl was due to continued Red demands that the Communist “re- sistance governments” of Laos and Cambodia be invited to Geneva.

They said nothing against me and I said nothing against them. My present opponent is an upright ung man, twenty-three years of age, the son of Mr. illiam A. Freeman, owner of the Porter and Allen Insur- ance Company. With you, as with me, whenever we wish something to be done for us, something of importance, we go to the man or woman in that particular calling, whom we know to be experienced and efficient. Long before my opponent was born, it was said in Key West, many a time, when a matter of accounting to the ultimate penny came up, "Go to Frank Bentley; he'll straighten it out for you.” It may be said that anybody with a normal mind can learn to do anything. That's true of my opponent and you and me, too. But if you want a man to build your house, if you want a doctor to treat you when you are ill, if you want a lawyer to attend to a legal matter for you, if you want oes in any particular trade or profession, you do not go to a man or a woman who is inexperienced in that particular thing. You want a man who. knows, a man whose efficiency has been demonstrated, time and time again. I have been dn accountant for thirty-five years, and am chairman of the county commission's financial com- mittee, the most important in the county. I am confident ° that the other four members of our county commission will bear me out when I say they feel I am the right man to head the financiql committee. As chairman of that committee, my work not only en- tails assistance in making up the budget, but also in de- termining, to the ultimate penny, the allocation of the funds the county receives in its maintenance and its op- eration. I see to it that your tax dollar‘is expended in the way the law says it should be expended. So this contest between my opponent and me simmers down to these questions: Are you willing to pit his inex- perience against my experience? Do you prefer a man who has yet to learn the intricacies of an office to one who is efficient in performing the duties of that office? Are you willing to put aside one who has served you faithfully and and efficiently to install one who will serve you as faithful- ly as I have but has to learn to be efficient? I am a normal human being, just as you aré a normal human being, and I firmly believe you will agree with me that the experience we have acquired over the years in whatever our work in life may be can’t be acquired by any- body else, regardless of whom he may be, by any magic formula. He must learn, as we have learned, which proves to us the truth of that old saying, “We learn by experi- ence.” Our county is progressing now as it has never pro- gressed before. I conceive it as my duty, and I know you conceive it as your duty, to do whatever we can to promote that progress. We don't want a hitch anywhere retard that pr » such as substituting experience, inefficiency for efficiency. You won't take that chance in your business, and I believe you won't take it in your county. You have heard the old saying, “He has it on his finger tips.” I assure you, that through experience and applica- tion to my duties, I have at my ages line every detail of the financial structure of Monroe ty. On that basis, I respectully submit to you my candidacy at the primary to be held next Tuesday.

Milton Berle Prefers To Work In Hollywood By BOB THOMAS is here to finish off his TV séason, and he says he’d like to do his shows in Hollywood all the time. Berle holds the amazing record of 290 hour-long shows on TV. He has been on-camera throughout most of them, and nearly all Wave originated in New York. Eastern- ers who have watched the west- ward movement of TV production may be pained to learn that Uncle Miltie favors working on these sunny shores. “Sure, I’d rather work out here,’’ he said between rehearsals for one of the three shows he will do in Hollywood. “It’s better for me. In New York, I don’t sleep. You get ail the city noises, And you know me—as long as I know Lindy’s is going to be open until 4 in the motning, I gotta be there. “In Hollywood, it’s different. There’s nothing doing at night, so you go to bed at 10 o'clock.” Berle said he didn’t know wheth- er he would get his wish to work out here regularly. It’s up to the sponsor, and so far the sponsor likes the New York origination. But the comic did say that he was going to cut down his pace. When he started TV seven years ago, he did 29 shows a year. This season he has been doing three a month, with Bob Hope taking over each fourth week. Starting in the fall, Berle will appear every other week, alternating with Hope and Martha Raye. “And in the year following, I hope to do only one show a month or even one every six weeks,” he announced. “Why should I do More? I can’t keep the money.” When I expressed some doubt, he bared his financial picture. “I get $30,000 a show,” he said. “That is my personal salary, for me alone. But I am in a 92 per cent income tax bracket. That leaves what—about $2,400? Of course, that’s after expenses. But many weeks I will take up to $5,000 out of my own pocket for special lighting and other effects. You can get only so much out of a sponsor.” There may be as many as three million termites in a single colony.

An average of the last two years indicates that about 13,000 inspec- tions a year are given each year. The inspections cost the city about 28 cents each. The city initiated the city inspec- tion sti¢kers shortly after it was ruled by the state Supreme Court that the cities of Florida could not charge for local license plates. The lation had charged $3.00 annually for a city tag.
