McClel- Uin (D-Ark) has asked White House aide Maxwell Rabb to explain at a Senate hearing tomorrow whether the Eisenhower administration supplied a private author with secret data it denies to Congress. McClcllan said last night the book, Robert J. Donovan's "The Inside Story," appears to contain much information "based upon confidential minutes of Cabinet meetings, interoffice memoranda, advisory opinions and other secret data." White House press secretary James C.

Hagerty said he did not know whether Rabb would accept the invitation to testify before the Senate Investigations subcommittee which McClcllan heads. Rabb, an assistant 'to President Eisenhower, serves secretary to the Cabinet. An article In the New Yorker magazine last week said that minutes of Cabinet meetings and other confidential documents had been supplied to Donovan, White House reporter for the New York Herald Tribune who took a leave absence from that post while writing the Questioned last Friday, Hagerty said he knew who in the administration made the i i to make the papers available to Donovan.

Guatemala Acts To Thwart Red Plot GUATEMALA UP) The Guatemalan government, announcing discovery of a Communist plot, has imposed a form of martial law on the country to "prevent seditious disorders." President Carlos Castillo Arm- ns' regime decreed a "state of alarm" after police broke up a mass meeting yesterday sponsored by the newly formed National Civic Committee.

Demonstrators at the gathering of about 400 persons outside the capital's railway station had distributed leaflets demanding cancellation of Guatemala's mutual aid pact with the United States and a lifting of the ban on Communist activities.

"There people accept me on my own. 'It is different in this country, where I am not as well known. After, all. memory of my father lingers here to a greater degree, because he spent the majority of his acting years in this country." The comparison to his father is inescapable a of their amazing blonde hair and polished manner of Leslie. His first Hollywood role might be said to begin where his late father left off.

Just about the last movie here Cor the elder Howard was "Gone With the Wind," in which he played the Southerner, Ashley Wilkes. Ronald is playing a Southerner in his current film, "Drango-" "But it's an entirely different kind of character," he remarked. "The man I am playing is a Southern officer who won't admit the is over. In his passion, he commits some irresponsible acts." This is a far cry from the roles of his father, who never played leavies. His brilliant career was cut short during the war when he was shot down in a plane near Spain.

They gave a cocktail party Saturday at "Whiteholme," Narragansett Avenue, in connection with the -opening. stage and screen star well known as a panelist on TV's "I- Got a Secret," will play the role of the thoroughly housebroken lusband who, upon sending his family to the country for the summer, finds himself on the primrose path willy-nilly after seven years of happy marriage.

The part calls for his presence on the stage for almost the entire two and one half lours of the action, and gives him plenty of exercise, since he will approximately three miles during each performance. His numerous soliloquies are de- livered in motion. The role is actually longer than that Shakespeare's Hamlet. Millay will play opposite the star as the scatter brained photographer's model upstairs who tempts him from his straight and narrow happiness. Lois Wheeler plays the wife, appearing in the fantastic scenes of her husband's imagination.

Lou Gilbert plays a literary psychiatrist, Howard Moreton appears as the wife's former beau and Maria Fenton plays the secretary.
