KIM NOVAK, who has been away from the movie scene
a couple of years, returns in “The Legend of Lylah
Clare.” As can be seen, Kim looks as good as ever.
Kim’s Back With
Her Low-Cut Dress
t By DICK KLEINER
HOLLYWOOD — (NEA) —lt’s
been a couple of years since Kim
Novak last faced a movie ca-
* mera here. That was in “Kiss
Me, Stupid,” and I remember
going on the set and there she
was, in a lowcut dress. Now
t she’s in “The Legend of Lylah
Clare” and I went on the set
and there she was, in a low-cut
dress.
, Besides proving that some
things never change, this scene
also proved that Kim Novak
still looks good, despite the re
morseless series of accidents and
r misfortunes that have plagued
her lately.
“I’ve had my troubles the last
few years,” Kim said, understa-
* ting matters. “But I’m feeling
fine now. The best ever, actual
ly.
“I’ve been lucky all my life
* and I always felt that someday
I would have to pay for all that
good luck with some bad luck.
Now I’ve paid and the worst is
over.”
So now everything’s coming
Up roses?
“Well,” said Kim, “I’m not
too fond of roses. Let’s say ev
erything’s coming up wild flow
ers."
They called her back into the
scene, a big, emotional thing.
She plays an actress in “The
Legend of Lylah Clare” (if the
title sounds familiar, it’s becau
se it was adopted from a tele
vision show which starred Al
fred Drake and Tuesday Weld)
and in the scene she had to tell
off a waspish newspaperwoman.
This character was played by
a brilliant English actress, Co
ral Browne, who has made a
specialty of playing nasty lad
ies. She has done her share of
classics, too, but it is as the
mean ones that she is best re
membered.
“I love the U.S. with all my
heart,” Coral said, when the sc
ene was over. “In fact, a fe w
years ago, I thought seriously
of moving here. But I found out,
when I talked to my lawyer, that
it was financially impossible,
because of the tax situation.
“I’m hoping, after the picture
Is over. I’ll have some time to
see southern California and lie
in the sun. I received a letter
from a friend in London yester
day, telling me that winter had
set in back home, and I’ll have
enough of that in the months to
come. I might just sneak a week
of sunshine before I go home.

ENGLAND DELUGED
LONDON (UPD—Rain and
hail storms over much of
England were forecast again
today.
Police and armed forces
personnel launched a clean-up
operation in the aftermath of
heavy flooding Sunday that
claimed at least four lives.
Including three brothers on a
fishing trip.

When she gets home, she isn’t
quite sure what she wants to do.
Basically a stage actress, she
finds parts difficult to come by
these days — “They’re not writ
ing plays for ladies, are they?”
—but she refuses to do any more
revivals.
"I hate revivals,” she says.
“The producer gets the rights
to the play free — they’re in the
public domain — and then hires
a lot of big stars who may or
may not fit the parts. I told my
agent that if I had to wait 22 ye
ars for another new play, I’d
wait — but I wouldn’t do anoth
er revival.”
“The Legend of Lylah Clare”
is being produced and directed
by Robert Aldrich, the man res
ponsible for “The Dirty Dozen.”
That one is breaking records at
the box office, despite a few sc
athing reviews.
“There are three kinds of
critics,” Bob Aldrich said
“Good ones, bad ones and cor
rupt ones.
“Movie critics can help an art
picture find an audience, but
they can’t hurt a big picture —
if they could, Darryl Zanuck
would be out pushing matzos,
after the way the critics mur
dered ‘The Sound of Music.’ I
don’t let critics worry me any
more.”

Arms Amendment
Could Scuttle
Britain Deal
By WILLIAM THEIS
WASHINGTON (UPD—Con
gress has approved President
Johnson’s record S7O billion
defense money bill after tacking
on a “Buy America” amend
ment that could scuttle a major
arms deal with Britain.
The Senate passed the mea
sure on a 74-3 vote Wednesday
and sent it along to the White
House after upholding a House
amendment forbidding construc
tion of U.S. Navy vessels in
foreign shipyards.
The amendment overrules an
administration decision to allow
Britain to bid on constructing
seven minesweepers for the
U.S. Navy at a cost of $60.7
million.
Defense Secretary Robert S.
McNamara had warned before
the vote that the amendment
was “not in the national
interest.” It could undercut an
Anglo-American arms deal call
ing for Britain to buy eight
times as much U.S. military
equipment as the United States
would buy from England.
The U.S.-British arms ar
rangement called for Britain to
buy $2.6 billion worth of
military equipment—including
50 FIIIA (TFX) fighter-bom
bers—while the United States
purchased $350 million worth of
equipment from British manu
facturers.
But Senate managers of the
legislation, looking at the 233-144
vote by which the House
affirmed its “Buy America”
amendment on Tuesday, decid
ed there was little point in
sending the bill back to a joint
conference committee for more
wrangling.
Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-
Ga., chairman of the Senate
Armed Services Committee,
called the House action "a
grievous mistake.” He said it
would not help American
shipyards, as claimed, and “it
is going to injure the image of
this nation.”
Sen. John G. Tower, R-Tex.,
said the United States cannot
maintain good relations with
Britain “if we are going to pull
this kind of doublecross on
them.”
Sens. William Proxmire, D-
Wis., and Daniel B. Brewster,
D-Md., both from shipbuilding
states, praised the action.
Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore.,
siding with the House, called
the arms arrangement a
“secret deal” and said it is
time Congress stopped such
“extraconstitutional conduct.”
Russell agreed with Morse
that Congress should know

House Committee Opens
Death Penalty Study
ATLANTA (UPD—State Cor
rections Director Asa Kelley,
members of the Pardon and
Paroles Board, and Reidsville
State Prison Warden Lamont
Smith were to appear today be
fore a special House committee
studying capital punishment.
Kelley, in a speech Wednes
day to a group in Columbus,
said he plans to testify in favor
of the death penalty and tell
the legislators that dropping it
would cause “utter chaos” in
the prison system.
Committee Chairman Savan
nah Rep. W. J. (Dick) Rich
ardson Jr. said he asked the of
ficials to bring specific answers
to a number of questions, in
cluding how many persons were
sentenced to death, actually
electrocuted, pardoned or com
muted, or sentenced to life and
found guilty of more crimes
while paroled in Georgia during
the last 10 years.
He said the committeemen
also want to find out the aver
age time a life termer serves
before being paroled and the
basis of granting pardons and
paroles. Richardson has said
more in advance about such
arms deals. But he said the
current arrangement is “highly
favorable to the overall econom
ic interests of this nation.”
the Georgia practice of paroling
a life termer after seven years
has lead most Georgians to fa
vor capital punishment.
Kelley said the public “must
be brought to understand that
the only way a prison official
can maintain discipline in a
prison system is with the threat
of capital punishment.”
Kelley said he personally fa
vors retaining the death penalty
for persons convicted of murder
of “law enforcement officers or
correctional institutional person
nel.”
He spoke to the Columbus
Law Enforcement Association
following a tour with six state
prison investigators of the Mus
cogee County prison and work
camp.
The committee set the meet
ing to help determine Georgi
ans’ opinions on the controver
sial subject of doing away with
the death sentence.
The 10-man House group held
its first meeting last month,
and Richardson said members
would also seek information on
pardon and paroles practices in
states where the death penalty
has been abolished or modified.
Public hearings on abolishing
the death penalty will be held
in Atlanta on Sept. 26; Bruns
wick, Oct. 12; Americus, Oct.
26 and Gainesville, Nov. 9.

New Prison Rules
Would Limit Term
In Hole To 2 Weeks
ATLANTA (UPD — The still
to-be-adopted new prison rules
dictate strict health and fire
safety standards, but they also
specify that no “boss man”
will send a “convict” “in the
hole” for more than two weeks
for punishment.
Common courtesy and proper
protocol for both inmates and
prison personnel should become
matters of habit in Georgia’s
extensive but often inadequate
prison system, the 50-page reg
ulation report said.
If the rules go into effect Oct.
1 as anticipated, it will no
longer suffice to say “cap’n”
or “boss man” when referring
to the warden.
The report prescribes “cor
rectional institution” and
“inmate” to replace “chain
gang” and “convict.”
Other outlawed slang terms
would include “in the hole” for
isolation or solitary confine
ment.
The rules would prohibit leav
ing one or more inmates un
guarded, permitting inmates to
handle firearms and hazardous
broken tools like hacksaw
blades, and allowing “dog boy”
prisoners who train bloodhounds
to run them in searches for
escapes.
“No inmate shall be kept in
isolation ror punitive reasons
for more than 14 days,” the
rules report declared.
Each prison would be re
quired to provide sufficient
clothing, libraries, edu
cation, specific diets, and good
treatment to Inmates, and
guards would be required to
take special training programs.
DUTY FIRST
BLAIRGOWRIE, Scotland
(UPD — Honeymooning police
man Ted Page smelled smoke,
quickly knotted a ladder out of
bed sheets, leaped on a scooter,
raced a mile to turn in an
alarm, then raced back to his
hotel Sunday.
There he helped his bride,
Vanessa, and other guests climb
down from second floor rooms.
“Duty first?” he asked. “I
suppose so, but Vanessa under
stands.”
