i Falcon 10 Edwards Housing Administrator Albert M. Cole, Hollyday's boss, said In a news conference this week that FHA had approved for insurance oversize loans for the construction of rental apartments under terms of a government housing aid program ended in 1950. Cole' said Hollyday had known of. but had not acted against, approval for insurance cf larger tban necessary loans foisted on home owners for house repairs and renovations. This program Is still operating.

i Congress terminated the rental apartment programs long before Hollyday or Cole took office last year. WASHINGTON UP) A housing official has estimated that at least 75.000 tenants probably many more of apartments built with government insured loans probably are paying excess rent because the loans were bigger than necessary. The official, who asked not to be named, said he was doubtful that tenants could get back any excess rent payments and that he was not sure that the rents could now be reduced. The official made the disclosure in the wake of the summary dismissal earlier this week of Guy T. O.

The dark beauty is making "Night Music" and can hardly "wait to cut her way out of the Hollywood smog. She has made one film in Rome and hopes to make many more.

"I love it over there, said Linda In her dressing room, in which reposed a volume of "How to Speak Italian." Before leaving for Rome, she'll visit her New Mexico sheep ranch, which is close to the Texas border. Friends report Linda may also take care of another matter a possible marriage to beer magnate Philip Liebmann But she is mum on that subject happy day! That was Thursday when Bob Hope cut the ribbon that opened the last link of the Hollywood Freeway. To traffic-haggard Angelenos. the freeway is a heavenly span of signal-less road stretching from the edge of the Ean Fernando Valley, to downtown Los Angeles." The only sour note in the festivities: Because of the tremendous growth of Los Angeles population, the freeway was considered inadequate before it was opened Another legend shot to pieces: One of the fabulous attractions in the earlier Hollywood days was Buster Keaton's land yacht. It was a huge, bus-like affair that contained complete living quarters.

The comic was supposed to have lavished $100,000 or more on it. Keaton told me in Las Vegas the figure is false. He bought it for $10,000 from an official of the Pullman company, which had built it on a train car chassis for $60X00. Keaton had his fun with it, then sold it without losing money Highly recommended: "Genevieve," a wonderfully comic saga ot a lover of antique automobiles. A sure cure for the blues.

Chased by riders on motorcycles, he gets away by jumping a wide chasm. Almost dying of thirst in the desert, he is saved by a kindly little Mexican boy, only to be roped by a trio of cowboys. But he eludes them, too, by a sensational leap into a river at the bottom of a dee pgorge.

Torn and tattered, Gypsy gets back to his beloved Meg, and now, as though by a miracle, the dreadful drought comes to an end with a torrent of rain. Ten -year -old Donna Corcoran, who made an auspicious film debut as the little orphan who saw angels in "Angels in the Outfield," has since proven herself the screen's outstanding juvenile performer and gives an inspired per. formance in the role of Meg. There is an irresistable appeal to this little actress work. She can shed tears at the drop ot a hat.

but she also possesses the authority and dramatic conviction of an experienced trouper. Her rols as the little heroine of "Gypsy Colt" will add to her already wide fan following. The part of her rancher father, Frank, is skillfully played by Ward Bond, with Frances Dee adding warmth and understanding to the characterization of the sympathetic mother. Also, good are Larry Keating as Mr. Gerald, owner of the racing stable, Lee Van Cleef as a mean horse trainer, Bobby Hyatt as Phil Gerald and Bobby Dominguez, in the part of a big-hearted, little Mexican lad.

But, of course, the true hero of this picture is Gypsy, played by handsome, black, white marked gelding whose official name Is Highland Dale. He is as endearing an actor as the screen has seen in some time. When an earthquake hit San Francisco in 1906, nearby land slipped sideways 21 feet. WANTS TO BE: Actress Mar, ilyn Monroe turns on the charm as she tells reporters April 15 at Hollywood, that "I'm not pregnant, but wish I were-' She said she and her husband, Joe DiMaggio'want a lot of little DiMaggios."

G. ROGERS Associated Press Arts Editor' NEW YORK Ub "11 the kids in Brooklyn had' ever Jcnown I took piano lessons I Robert Merrill, the Metropolitan Opera's famous baritone, shivers even today to think of it. The thing expected of a kid in that city of his birth was that he play ball and Join the Dodgers. Merrill tried it, too.

He was a pitcher, he remembers, and for his New Utrecht High School he once pitched one inning in a championship game at Ebbets Field. "I didn't do very well," he admits. "I never got a bid from the Dodgers. But I did go on and play semi-pro baseball for some time to help pay for voice lessons." As if it wasn't bad enough to study the piano, he also black-haired though he is, and heavy-browed, and broad-shouldered had a fine soprano voice. Did he ever sing in high-school glee clubs? "When I had to try out for them," he says, "I took good care to sing as badly as possible, and I was successful in not making a single club." His mother was a small-time professional singer, and the first operatic classic he remembers hearing was a recording of "Vesti la giubba," from "Pagliacci," when he was 10.

He made up his mind then he was going to sing that when he grew up. The trouble was, he grew right past it. It's a tenor aria, and he went from soprano to baritone. Even co, he has sung it, and it's one of the numbers on his second appearance this spring at a well known entertainment spot in Las Vegas. "That's the place," he says, where night-club audiences yell for opera arias." He has done a lot of singing on both sides of the fence, with the long-hairs at the Met, for instance, where he has a repertoire of some 20 roles, and in clubs, resorts, on TV and radio, with all sorts of bands, once even on a bill with a striptease artist.

He shakes his head thinking of that one. "It was in Philadelphia. I forget the name of the theater. I remember the name of the girl. Twice a day I walked on stage, completely dressed, while she, completely the opposite, walked off.

Her picture was out front, my name was there as "The Star-Spangled Baritone. I got that for doing the anthem for wartime newsreels." He did a lot of curious Jobs on his way to the Met. One of them was working for his uncle, in the dress business. "I never tell this one, it sounds corny. But the fact is, I used to push those carts filled with Jogging, swinging dress samples up and down around the streets in the garment-working neighborhood of the Met." He got inside the Met early, too, or practically inside.

His first voice lessons were taken in a studio there with the 'only music teacher with whom he has ever studied, and the one he still goes to regularly.
