QUARANTINE OF suspect- Sophia Loren, stern-faced splashy "West Side Story" go winners of the 34th annual sensational bit of gate-crash- Italy's Miss Loren is best actress. Vienna's Schell is best actor. Hollywood's "West Side Story" is the best picture, winner of a near-record 10 Oscars. New York's Stan Berman retains his title as "world champion gate crasher." BERMAN, 35, A cabbie who has made a career out of penetrating the impenetrable, stalked onto the stage in midtelecast at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, presented astonished emcee Bob Hope with an ersatz Oscar, and stalked off leaving the film famous and a nation of onlookers flabbergasted.

The handsome Schell won for his role as the defender of Nazi war criminals in "Judgment at Nuremberg' reaching the top despite the handicap of starting in the shadow of his famous sister, actress Maria Schell. The voluptuous brunette Miss Loren won her Oscar in absentia for playing the earthy war refugee in the Italian production, "Two Women" -climaxing a rags-to-riches tale that began on the streets of Rome. Hers is the first Oscar to a role played in a language other than English.

THE SHOW WAS plodding dully along, seeming especially tame after last year's dramatic win by Elizabeth Taylor--until Berman strode on stage in the midst of a presentation by Vince Edwards, television's Dr. Ben Casey, and Shelley Winters. Berman grabbed a pintsized Oscar and held it up and said, "This is Bob Hope's Oscar for 'The Big Broadcast of 1938.

To the world's greatest comedian from the world's greatest gate crasher." Berman who had his picture taken in the box with President Kennedy and his family at the inaugural gala, said stage crashing is a pushover. "ALL YOU NEED is a tuxedo and the appearance of looking as if you belong," he said. Miss Loren didn't come for the awards, saying she was "too tired and too scared might lose." Schell flew in over the weekend from Germany, kiris came in from Hawaii and Miss Moreno spent 18 hours on a plane flying from movie location in the Philippines. OTHER OSCARS went 1 to: "Moon River." from "Breakfast at Tiffany's, best song.
