LB 682 would submit to voters a constituional amendment permitting a revised method. Sen.

Hans Jensen of Aurora said le hopes for a cattle taxing method similar to that used for grain. Grain is taxed at a prescribed rate per bushel, instead of on die value of grain held on the assessment date. Jensen said the grain tax has eliminated the "boom and bust method of marketing grain." A similar plan would do the same for livestock, he said. Also approved on general file was LB 580, revising the method of financing weed districts. In- tead of assessing land at one cent an acre to finance the districts, a tax of not to exceed .25 mill would be levied on all property in the district.

Altogether, the Legislature advanced five bills from general file during the afternoon session. Included was LB 686, making a series of mostly minor changes in game and fish laws. Among other things, it authorizes the confiscation of licenses of fish and game law violators. Also advanced was LB 304, which requires a deposit of $50,000 before any company begins writing pro-rate hail insurance in the state.

Horror for horror's sake is on its way out, according to Hammer Film Productions, which claims to be the world's most-successful makers of spine chillers. Human vampires can retire to their grave, me abominable snowmen to their mountain retreats, and creatures from outer space "can take the first flying saucer home," says Anthony Hinds, one of the top executives at Hammer studios, known here as "The House of Horror." The new gimmic, according to Hinds, is horror plus human interest. "In our new film," he explains, "we concentrate on the portrayal of character rather tihan horrific situations. If some of the characters are macabre so much the better." Apparently its American backers have confidence in Hammer Films' new formula. The British company has just completed the biggest Anglo American deal in screen history: 25 films for Columbia Pictures and another a 1 f- dozen for Universal International in the next five years.

'And not just for showing a your' American plea pits art cinemas, either," Hinds adds. "Our films are the first British films to get full circuit bookings at ordinary American cinemas." The lady is human interest, and she's humanly horro-stricken in this scene from "Ths Man Who Could Cheat Death," a new-style thriller being made in England. Swanton ing a fanged mask, is deliberately played down as a terrifying beast," says Hinds. "Instead, we have built up the character Sherlock Holmes, deerstalker cap, Inverness cape and all," The film, he adds, has broken all box office records at the Lon. The switch over to horror with Pavillion, where it is now a human element will mark a change for Hammer, which to date has measured success by the number of people who faint while watching its products.

'The Curse of Frankenstein" chalked up a toll of 3,000 swoonings in America, according to a publicity hand-out. It also grossed over seven million dollars in the world market on a $270,000 outlay in production costs. Explaining the new trend in horror films, Hinds, a dapper man with a small moustache and thick glasses, claims that audiences are growing more sophisticated, are bored with death rays and walking vegetables. The exception is in Japan, where, the demand for unadulterated horror apparently is insatiable, a c- cording to Hinds. For Japanese distribution Hammer adds extra blood curdling frills bo its films.

As an example of the new human look to horror, Hinds cites "The Hound of the Baskervilles" Hammer's latest release. "The hound a Great Dane wear- showing. Starting on a shoestring after the war with a $40,000 loan from the British government Hammer Films first hit the jackpot with "The Quatermass Experi ment" in 1Q54. This was followed quickly "The Curse of Abominable Snowman," "The Camp on Blood Island" and "Dracula." Secret of Hammer's success i its low production methods. With only 160 employes and no elaborate offices, Hammer holds i shooting schedule on films down to six weeks.

One of its main problems is censorship. "We work roughly to the rule of thumb that "you can frighten people as much as you like as long as you don't make them sick," says Hinds. If the horror film's days are numbered what will be the ultimate trend? "My hunch is that audiences will want to see films about human decency and the quiet heroism of ordinary people," Hinds says, surprisingly enough. "I may be wrong but I think there will be a demand for a return to the good old Victorian virtues." SHE'LL REMARRY Mrs. Rita Steeves, 23, who divorced Air Force Lt.
