Nor perhaps 100 million Americans, that matter. Be that ns it may, Hollywood's self-imposed censorship code forbids the shooting scenes showing couple in a double bed, and this restriction nearly created a crisis in Franco-American movie relations during the making of a recent picture in 'Paris. The film, "The Ambassador's Daughter," was written, directed and produced by Norman Krasnn. It Is a comedy about young OI who falls In love will: a girl who turns out bo who else but the daughter of America's timbas, sador to France. A plot, has to have some connection with the title.

OP do'or; il.V) Krasna figured he could save a tidy if lie r.hot the picture In and nr.pd an all-French crew and cast with the exception of a few imported American stars. He did, too. But there were complications. The first came when actor John Foray the, playing the American soldier, gulped and blushed when he glanced into a mirror and presumably saw the undraped bosoms of some night club chorines. "Why should he look embarrassed?" argued the French cameramen.

"That's how the girlc perform night club." The cameraman also couldn't understand why Krasna wouldn't. let him turn lens on the chorines and put them in the film. 'Patiently, the producer explained the scene wouldn't, par.n Hollywood's litmus moral test. UNCONVINCED "What's immoral about, bosom?" demanded the cameraman, unconvinced. In a later bedroom scene in which Adolphe Menjou and Myrna Loy played the ambassador and his wife, Krasna ordered the double bed removed from the set and replaced by twin beds.

At first the French crew thought Krasna was joking. Then they began to suspect it was a plot to ridicule their nation by spreading the falsehood that French husbands and wives used twin beds. "All married in France sleep in double beds," they insisted. "It IK the only way." When Krasna explained again that Hollywood 1 strange morality code required twin beds, one Frenchman observed: Sparkman Softens Adlai's Statement On Desegregation "These Americans they must nil have soiled minds." The twin beds proved an expensive item. None could be found to match the rest of the 150 year- old furniture in the bedroom set, and a new pair had to be built.

Krasna, a slender, quick-witted man of 46 who started his theatrical earner as a copy boy for critic Alexander Woollcott, had another problem in tact. He had to turn down U. S. Ambassador C. Douglas Dillon's courteous offer to use the American embassy in Paris for his exterior shots.

"An American audience wouldn't think it glamorous enough," he said. "So we used one of the Rothschild castles." The producer said his experiment in employing all French technical crews probably would be followed by other American producers making films here. "Until now they've brought their own people over, even though they've had to hire French standby crews. Naturally the French cameramen, who are the equal of any in the world, have found this insulting even though they were being paid." Praising the artistry, Intelligence and loyalty of French film industry workers, Krasna also had this to say about the French populace generally: "Don't tell me the French are grasping. I saw only generosity, affection and a capacity for hard work.

"They don't bother to put on a front. They aren't hypocritical and they aren't intolerant. Agriculture Dept. Forecasts Cotton Crop Down This Year WASHINGTON The Agriculture Department forecast Wednesday this year's government-controlled cotton crop at 13,. 562,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight.

Sparkman, Stevenson's vice presidential running mate four years ago, gave this view in an interview as he prepared to leave for the party's national convention in Chicago. Sparkman is Stevenson for the presidential nomination again, but he said "I am not in any sense a candidate for anything." Sparkman stressed that he does not believe the party's civil rights platform plank should include any declaration about the Court's decision outlawing racial segregation in the public schools. Appearing on a TV interview in Chicago, 'Stevenson had been quoted a.s saying: "I have a very strong feeling that the platform ess unequivocal a a 1 of the court's decision, although it seems odd that you have to express your approval of the Constitution and its institutions."
