Tallulah Bankhead
Dead At Age 65
NEW YORK (UPD—Tallulah
Bankhead, the transatlantic star
who called everybody “Dahl
ing!,” is dead at the age of 65.
Miss Bankhead died at 7:45
a.m. EST Thursday in the
intensive care unit at St. Luke’s
Hospital. A spokesman said
death was caused by double
pneumonia complicated by em
physema.
An older sister, Eugenia
Bankhead, and a nephew, Billy
Bankhead, were at the bedside.
Private services will be at 3
p.m. Saturday in St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church, Kent, Md. A
memorial service will be at 3
p.m. Monday in St. Bartholo
mew’s Church, New York.
Miss Bankhead’s great suc
cesses were scored on stage—as
Regina Giddens in “The Little
Foxes,” Sabina in “The Skin of
Our Teeth” and Sadie Thomp
son in “Rain”—but she was
most widely known for her
films, notably the 1944 Alfred
Hitchcock picture “Lifeboat.”
Miss Bankhead had an acid
tongue, but she herself was as
often as not the target of her
own gibes—as, for example
when she described herself as
being “pure as the driven
slush.”
On another occasion, when
making a moving picture in her
later years, she remarked “they
used to shoot Shirley Temple
through gauze (to minimize the
visible effects of age). They
should shoot me through lin
oleum.”
Miss Bankhead was born Jan.
31, 1903, in Huntsville, Ala., the
child of one of Alabama’s
leading political families. Her
grandfather and an uncle were
U.S. senators, and her father,
Rep. William B. Bankhead, was
speaker of the House of
Representatives.

Czech Workers Warn
Against Ousting Os
Parliament President
PRAGUE (UPD—lndustrial
workers today warned the
Communist party against oust
ing parliament President Josef
Smrkovsky, a reform leader
under pressure since the Aug.
21 Soviet occupation of Czecho
slovakia.
One workers’ group an
nounced it would use “any
means including a general
strike” to prevent Smrkovsky’s
political downfall.
Resolutions from several
Prague area factories appeared
in the trade union newspaper
Prace In support of Smrkovsky.
In the capital, the party
central committee meanwhile
resumed its two-day session
the sagging economy and the
press, which Premier Oldrich
Cernik said does not strongly
enough support the party line.
In the suburbs the workers
showed concern for Smrkovksy
and other reformers whose
policies helped bring on the
Soviet occupation. Workers at
the Naradi tool factory said “a
removal of political leaders who
are supported and respected by
the whole nation would have
catastrophic consequences.”
“To make it quite clear, this
mainly concerns comrade
Smrkovsky. We shall protect
outselves against his removal
by all means the working class
has at its disposal including a
general strike,” the statement
said.
Smrkovsky before Aug. 21
was one of Czechoslovakia’s top
three or four Communist
leaders. No more. He was not
among the leaders who attend
talks with Kremlin leaders last
weekend in Kiev. Unofficial
reports said that he is being
forced by Soviet pressure to
quit have since spread.

tenced him to 17 years in
