'KID GALAHAD' EXTRA SNEAK PREVIEW At ihe Fox Balloon DETROIT FREE PRESS 1 2-A Saturday, August 25. '62 IN WASHINGTON House to Get Elvis Has More Rock Than Sock Scandal threatened New York for awhile, but. we're pleased to report, everything's normal again. It seems his only defense in his first fights is to stare sleepily at the oncoming gloves. But he is gifted with a lethal right when he gets around to throwing it, and Young decides to exploit him.

that Dr. Clifford Lord, dean of Columbia's School of General Studies, wrote an indignant letter to Mayor Eobert F. Wagner disclosing that waiters had been insisting that he eat two scoops of ice cream after his dinner, instead of the one he wanted. The only reason the waiters played by Joan Blackman with almost aggressive sultriness, and proves himself to be a thorough-going gentleman. Young, however, is more elusive.

He causes some anxious moments for the singularly appealing Lola Albright, who loves him against her good judgment. Other roles are handled capably by Charles Bronson as Elvis' despairing trainer, Ned Glass as a resort owner, and David Lewis as a crooked gambler. This is one for Presley fans but should be avoided by fight fans. would give, he said, was that they had "orders" to serve two. This, Lord said, was a "smart-aleck attempt to increase ice cream consumption by extra-legal means." The mayor stood up for Lord: "It seems to me that anyone who wants to get one scoop of ice cream should be able to get it," he said forthrightly.

Wagner had a man assigned to take a "quick, hard look at this matter." The investigator discovered that Lord right. Restaurant owners said they were against a one-scoop policy because costs were prohibitive. After word from the city, however, they agreed to fall in line. i What They Say Cop-Killer James Duke, just before he was executed in Chicago, quoted these words from Plato: "We go our separate ways I to die, you to live. Which is better, God only knows." Billie Sol Estes, arrested in Abilene, for driving through a stop sign and having no driver's license: "I sure don't need the publicity.

I respect the law all the way. A policeman has the hardest job in the world. I still don't think I ran that stop sign." Mrs. Maria Del Carmen Guiterrez De Chittendam, Costa Rica's new ambassador to Britain: "If after dinner the ladies get up and leave when the men start drinking port, I shall get up with the girls."

Winn Of nf Irt Arorlamu rtvAir-rlc iiiiiiivi vi nvnuiftiij rtuui mo I ijPj For the Kiddies BY KEN BARNARD "Five Weeks in a Balloon," now at the Fox Theater, is bound to give the kids a rise, but adults are apt to feel that the picture never really docs get off the ground. Based on Jules Verne's first novel, the film glides along at a much lower level of interest than "Around the World in Eighty Days," and seems to be a pale carbon of that hit. Billed as an adventure-comedy, the plot deals with a professor. Sir Cedric Hardwicke, who is seeking to prove the practicality of a balloon.

AN AMERICAN newspaper publisher offers to back a proposed air exploration of East Africa, mainly because that seems a likely place to ship his playboy nephew to. Red Buttons, as the nephew who is all thumbs, is assigned as a reporter on the journey. At this point, the British Government steps in. Seems as if Her Majesty is right royally disturbed because some slave-trading blokes are rushing in from West Africa to claim territory over which Kngland was about to hoist the Union Jack. Will the professor a.dd another 4,000 miles to his flight plan so there can always be a bigger England? Righto, chaps, and the adventures begin.

Along the way pretty Bar ho ra a a 11 1 I rha fa TTHrtn are rescued from slavers, who deserve at least a little credit for their good taste in captives. RED BUTTONS i3 not very funny, and it's left to Peter Lorre and Richard Haydn to walk off with the acting honors. Lorre portrays a slave trader who enjoys his work and reveals the sharpest insight in the cast as he mutters from time to time. "We are doomed." Haydn goes along on 1hf trip as a stuffy general who Is supposed to be the African expert but can't tell a rhi-nocerous from an elephant. Some much needed life comes into the picture with the last 20 minutes of helter-skelter escape.

This is about the time that a hostile groundling punctures the balloon with a nicely aimed scimitar. Nameless hurler though he be, give him a bow for good critical sense in knowing that it was time to let most of the hot air out. It's fine airy adventure for the youngsters, and their parents can pass the time wondering how Fabian ever got into the picture as the inventor's assistant. U.S. Reds Ignore Order To Register WASHINGTON Iff A Justice Department official said Friday that no Communists had registered with the department under the Internal Security Act of 1950.

Thomas K. Hall, an aide in the Internal Security Division said only one or two requests for the registration forms had been received and even these could have been from curiosity collectors. In order to carry out tho provisions of Ihe act, the department has obtained indictments against the United States Communist Tarty on charges of failiny to register as a Soviet-directed organization. It also has obtained indictments for failinsr to resrister as Tsiiif rtffinovo orciinct fli Wall and Benjamin J. Davis, identified as the party's general secretary and national secretary, respectively.

Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy has petitioned the Subversive Activities Control Board to order 10 persons to register as members of the party. Ken nedy has estimated total menl-bership as 8.000 to Bishop Backs Pravcr Ruling INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) Methodist Bishop Richard C. Raines has called the recent United States Supreme Court ruling against school prayers "wise and sound." "I believe we have been depending on a broken reed if we thought the repetition of such a prayer in the school was a major help in the development of real moral and spiritual life in our children," he said. CONTINUOUS fro 12 NOON OPEN ALL NIGHT AIR CONDITIONED Report on Mutuals Fre Press Wirt Services WASHINGTON The Gov-.

vernment is sending CongTess an explosive report suggesting that the fast-growing mutual fund industry is plagued by potential conflicts of interest. report says stock purchases by mutual funds "significantly affect the daily movements in the stock market" and sometimes have "destabilizing effects." Plans to send the 600-page report to the House Commerce Committee were announced Friday by the Securities and Exchange Commission which safd the document will be made public Tuesday. In its announcement, the SEC said the findings may lead to changes in laws and regulations governing the funds and the way they handle their $19 billion of assets. Four years in the making, the report was prepared for the SEC by the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania. The SEC paid $95,700 for the work.

Mutual funds are particularly popular with small investors. They enable an individual to buy a share in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio which is likely to be less risky than a small collection of individual stocks. UJS. to Continue Humphrey Probe -The Government announced Fj-iday it will fully investigate the cost claims of George M. Humphrey's Hanna Smelting whose nickel stockpile contract has been the subject of heating hearings on Capitol Hill.

Bernard Boutin, administrator of the General Serv ices Administration, said the inquiry will be carried out by a A auditing team with the co operation of in-vesti gators for the Senate Stockpile Investigating subcommittee. Boutin noted that testimony before the subcommittee last week "raised the question whether Hanna Smelting expense statements were inflated (during- the 1957-61 period) through the improper expensing of capital items, in order to justify company demands for a higher price for nickel delivered to GSA for the stockpile." Philippines War Claims to Be Paid The Senate passed by voice vote and sent to President Kennedy Friday a $73-mil-lion measure to complete payment of nearly $500 million in Philippine war damage claims. The bill already has been passed by the House and is expected to receive quick approval by Kennedy. After an initial surprise defeat of the bill by the House' last May, Philippine President Diosdado Macapagal canceled a projected official visit to this country which had been set for June. It was assumed that Macapagal probably would reinstate his plans for a visit.

Cold War Vets' Bill Shelved The Senate staged an unscheduled five hour debate Friday on a bill to give educational and other benefits to "cold war" veterans, then put the legislation back on the shelf where it had lain for more than a year. The measure is opposed by the Kennedy Administration. The Veterans Administration has estimated the education costs alone would exceed $3 billion over the next decade. The measure aroused opposition from Republicans and some Southern Democrats. They said it would set s-n expensive precedent.

Ex-GI's included in the bill are those discharged between Jan. 31, 1955, when Korean War benefits ended, and July 1, 1963, the current date for expiration of the draft. Chicago Hood Found Slain CHICAGO HEIGHTS, HI. -The body of an ex-convict and smalltime hoodlum, with bullet wounds in the head and back, was found face down in a paperboard carton in a field Friday. He was identified as Alex Sorrentino, 54.

Police theorized the killer forced Sorrentino to kneel before putting one bullet into the head from close range and drilling another into his back.

AT 8:00 ftTSfTTFrP BY HARVEY TAYLOR Free Pres Staff Writer Elvis Presley, who plays the guitar as though he were wearing boxing gloves, boxes as though he were carrying a guitar. As the novice fighter in a musical re-make of "Kid Galahad" which opened Friday at the Palms, he gives an engaging enough performance when he's outside the ring, but only his most ardent fans will be able to keep from flinching in embarrassment in the badly directed fight scenes.

HIS BURLY opponents belt him around as gleefully as if they were music critics, and soon his fans will be shrieking along with his trainer to him to keep that left hand high. Elvis plays the role of a young mechanic just out of the Army. Penniless, he wanders into a fighters' training camp owned by Gig Young, a rather shady promoter. He wants to work at his trade but takes a fling at being a sparring partner.

At any given moment, Cooper is likely to be slapped with a notice of resignation from star Shelly Winters.

Miss Winters, who replaced Bette Davis in the drama, is on a week-to-week basis. She reportedly has handed in and rescinded her quitting notice a number of. times. The on-and-off-situation was intensified recently by Miss Winters' desire to star in a movie version of the far-out off Broadway play, "The Balcony."
