Citizen Bond Owners Meet about the producers. They get hysterical sometimes." "Of today's young actors," he said, "I like Clint Eastwood and Jimmy Caan.

I think they can make it." For a couple of hours, he talked and drank and ate and chatted with anybody and everybody who came over to the table. The next morning, many of his table-mates were hung over pretty good. But Old Duke was out there working, his face shining and his eyes clear. He's had practice.

Miss Meyer gave a talk on how to give a demonstration and she then gave a demonstration on making a "Sundae Cake," which was very delicious. The meeting was then adjourned and refreshments were digestive tract. It's too hectic, too often interrupted. Old Duke, as Wayne calls himself, is down here about 170 miles west of Seattle, a resort on the Pacific Ocean to film "McQ." For a change, Old Duke is not in a cowboy suit. "McQ" is a cops-and-robbers film.

"I've been wanting to do a cop film for a while," he said. "I wanted to do "Dirty Harry" and they wanted me but Old Duke wouldn't say those words in the script and they wouldn't change them." It was drizzling most of the day. They managed to do some shooting at a place called Moclips, up the coast a ways. Old Duke was tackling the bad guys under a railroad trestle. There were hundreds of people gawking from the trestle.

Then they went back to the motel. Wayne relaxed a while in his room and then called his pals to have dinner with him. He likes friends around when he eats. There was his secretary, Pat Stacy, and his publicist, Jack Casey, and his still photographer, David Sutton, and his costume man, Les Bayliss. Naturally, he got the best table in the house and all the help came around to talk.

Old Duke likes to talk. The group drinks pretty good. It helps, because dinner is a tough proposition. People come over for autographs -Old Duke has them printed on cards and he hands out the cards and ask to pose for pictures with him and want to shake his hand and talk. He's always gracious.

Sometimes they play liar's poker. That's Old Duke's game. He's good at it. He told about how he played with Jack Elam and how Elam "contributed to Old Duke's bank account." After the game, Wayne had his son, John Ethan, 11, write Elam a thank-you letter for the bike he bought. "Old Jack took it pertty good," Old Duke said.

"He wrote John Ethan back and sent him a horn for the bike." It was hard to carry on a coherent conversation but once in a. while there was a pause in the stream of visitors and Wayne could say something. "I miss the he said. "They weren't very moral men but they made stars." "I think this Diana Muldaur (she's his leading lady) is a great actress," he said. "If the moguls were still around today, they would have made her a big star." "I still enjoy acting," he said.

"I don't know what I'd do if I didn't act. I'm going to keep on as long as they want me. I know the public still wants me but I can't be sure JOHN WAYNE as "McQ." Hallmark Theatres Daniel Ahner, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Banks, Jr.
