z National (Continued From Page One) mark the second anniversary of President Kennedy’s Inaugural. There are strong rumors in Washington that the dinner will cost $1,000 per plate. Bedford \yynne, Dallas industrialist and co­ owner of The Dallas Cowboy’s Football team is chairman of the dinner but last week said that it had not been definitely decided to charge $1,000 for the dinner. - Wynne said that President Kennedy personally asked him to serve as chairman of the dinner and a gala affair will follow the dinner at which the cost . ,. will be $100.00 per plate. * * * In still another money move the tough Internal Revenue Department took a backward step from the howls of protest of businessmen and decided that instead of demanding vouchers of receipts for each $10.00 spent by businessmen on expense accounts it would instead demand vouchers of expenditures of $25.00 or more. —< The new regulation became effective January 1st. * - ♦ . * In a Legislative action Superior Court Justice Douglas granted a stay which would have permitted Railroads to cut their work forces on January 2nd. Douglas moved the effective date of a lower court’s order back to January 9th. * * # In Nashville, Tennessee the Rev. Martin Luther King told a conference of Southern leaders that most of the South will be desegregated in less than 10 ■ ’ years. •, King added that non-violence is the Negro’s strongest weapon in his fight but cautioned that it should not be used to rise to a position of advantage over the white race. “Black Supremacy” said King “is as dangerous as white supremacy”. * * • A look at the nation’s manners and morals found eyebrows arched over the revelation that a !5-year old youth from Norwalk, Qonn. had been arrested for inadvertently outlining to policenjgn his plans to establish a nudist camp for teenagers. « » « Washington is looking at a strong effort by Democrats to change the Senate rules to shut-off filibustering. If it comes it will be led by Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, Senator Joseph Clark of Pennsylvania and Senator Philip Hart of Michigan. # This is the perennial question of whether the Senate should regard a 2 3 majority to shut-off debate or whether a simple majority should be able to do this. At the present time a definite 2/3 majority is required. The matter of fact outlook: there will be a big fuss made but the rules will remain the same. * * * Business wise the-President of Westinghouse Elec­ tric predicts that sales of the electrical manufac­ turing industry will increase in 1963 and that sales next year will be more than $25-billion. Mark Cresop, Jr., President of Westinghouse Electric said his firm will reach a record high of more than $2-billion in 1963. _____---------------------------------------L- On Local Screens . -.J On RKO Circuit I Newlyweds Jane Fonda and Gvpsy ” starring Rosalind Jim Hutton sail through a smooth marriage ceremony Russell.

There are musicals off Broad- ay which have reached thia erformance peak, Including The Threepenny Opera,” “The antasticks,” “Leave It To Jane” nd “Little Mary Sunshine,” but The Blacks” is the first straight lay which has played so many erformances. Other off-Broadway dramas ihlch have had long runs, but ot played 700 performances, rere “The Crucible,” “The Con- lection," “The Balcony’’ and 'Our Town.” Frankel Director Gene Frankel directed the Fean Genet play which opened >n May 4, 1961 to rave reviews Bernard Frechtman translated The Blacks” from the original ’’rencto.

He can only hope that the trust will vote his stock his way. Under the complex holding company plan approved by Trippe, Hughe’s 78% in TWA would be reduced to about 28% in the new company. The strongest arguments in favor of merging the two airlines seem to be (1) the possibility of a strong U.S. flag airline regaining the 42% of the U.S.’s share of transatlantic business which has been lost to combinations of foreign air carriers in the past 12 years, and (2) important operating econ­ omies would be attained. The two lines have 13,000 miles of routes that duplicate each other. TWA showed a loss of over 44 million dollars in the past twenty-two months. Pan Am earned profits of about 18 million in the same period, due in part to its diversified business interests. Significance The significance of the merger becomes ap­ parent when we realize that the very existence of one of our major international transport facilities is at stake. The merger should be of special interest to non-white air travelers throughout the world because Pan Am and TWA book the majority of their trans-ocean flights. The stock market coasted out the year-end as it often does with moderate trading and few radical price changes. Brokers are reporting an interesting trend which some say may hold well into 1963. Stock buyers are moving strongly into the blue chips deserting the so-called glamor space age issues which disappointed many shareholders in the May-Decem ber period. Mutual Fund sales held up very wel during the year in spite of the market slump and the questionable publicity that resulted from the SEC Investigation and the Wharton Report. A review of } ear-end reports and projections o ' business prospects for the new year reveals a feeling of optimism for 1963 which is heightened by the possibility of personal and corporation income tax reductions, though the latter face stiff opposition from the conservative group in Congress. President Kennedy considers tax reductions an essential part of his program and he is receiving strong support from taxpayers and from business men. This is reflected in some of the opinions expressed at a recent meeting f of the Nationa Association of Manufacturers. There is strong fee ing that many corporations will raise their c&sh dividends and announce stock splits in the coming year. gggdg ■■ • HOMES • CALL Ri 9-5300 To Place An Advertisement BETTER HOUSING SERVICE • FARMS • CALL ACademy 2-7800 To Placo An Advertisement N.

Poitier’s Stand-In A Standout Dancer Wesley Gale is a living refutation of the traditional concept that motion picture “stand-ins" need neither brains nor talent — simply a physi­ cal appearance conforming to that of the established star for whom they substitute before tbe camera while the lights are be­ ing arranged. Gale, who serves Sidney Poi- ier in this capacity during the current shooting of "The Lilies of the Field” for United Artists release, proves the concept out­ dated. Gale not only approximates Poitier’s size and dimensions, but he moves like Poitier and he thinks like Poitler. The latter qualification permits him not only to anticipate Poitier’s re­ quirements but also to provide a sounding board for Interesting | discussions — a comforting cir­ cumstance during the filming of "The Lillies of the Field” by producer-director Ralph Nelson on parched, barren Arizona lo- | cation where other avenues of in­ tellectual exercise are limited. Moves Like Him Gale moves like Poitier be­ cause he is an accomplished dan­ cer and can adapt his movement to mimic anyone else’s. As a member of Katherine Dunham troupe he appeared in her re­ cent presentation of "Bam- boche” both in Los Angeles and on Broadway. In addition. Gale is a gifted artist and keeps a sketch pad with him constantly on the set. He has known Poitier since the late 1940’s, stood In for him In ’’The Blackboard Juwgle,” and shares Poitier’s interest In wid­ ening the sbowbusiness horizon te all its aspects for creative Negro performers, writers, direc­ tors and/producers.

He was 72 years old. Funeral services were con­ ducted for him Sunday at the Frank Campbell Funeral Church, Madison Avenue and 81st Street.

He died about Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles9 Young Pal Little Stevie Wonder, the 11- year old one-man band, has a famous fan, Ray Charles. Like Ray, Little Stevie Is blind but a musical genius who plays a variety of instruments and also wails when it comes to blues | and jazz. Stevie fin'shed a 10-day stint at the Apollo Theatre recently where he was a smash success. | He plays the piano, harmonica, organ, drums and bongo. His three albums on the Tamla label show every indication that Stevie is a big seller among the jazz crowd. Stevie has a simple formula; "I’m always in the mood, so I just sing and play with my heart. I call It pretty music, but the old people call it the blues.” To Stevie anyone older than 11 Is “old.” Lives In Detroit combined a distinguished legal career - which he never left - with a successful career in thea­ ter.

In 1950, he founded the Am­ erican Shakespeare Festival Theatre and Academy In Strat­ ford, Coon., and with his wife, a co-director, of the Theater Guild, - he was ownei of the Westport Conn.

False Teeth No Help To Sax Player DETROIT, MICH. — A music­ ian got rfd of his saxophone be­ cause of false teeth. Disgusted after finding out that he wasn’t “playing very good” any more, he planted the gold- plated instrument to the drive­ way of John Blont’s home.
