The dollar’s weakness more
than offset the climb in average
per capita income in 1958, says
the Commerce Department. So. on
average, citizens were a little less
well off than before when it came
to spending their bigger intake.
Even worse off were those liv-
ing on their pensions or their hus-
band's insurance, whose dollar in-
lncome didn't climb with the
average.
Thus life Insurance companies
find themselves competing with
mutual funds and common stocks
and real estate, all touted as
hedges against inflation, and with
(he emergence in their own ranks
of variable annuities — insurance
backed by reserves invested in
stocks and offering payments
based on returns from stocks.
Few question the worth of the
Institute's fight to keep the dollar
strong. But one life insurance of-
ficial takes up the cudgels for the
permanent value of life insurance.
Charles H. Schaff, executive
vice president of Massachusetts
Mutual Life, suspects a lot of time
may be wasted In guessing how
the dollar will rank in the future.
He jibes at insurance’s competi-
tors this way:

Unexpected, hit
has Brian Aherne
working overtime
By BOB THOMAS
AP Movie TV Writer
HOLLYWOOD (API — “I’ve
been working my fool head off,”
says Brian Aherne, “all because
I got involved with a sleeper.”
From the British-born actor, I
learned that there are also sleep-
ers on the stage. The term has
long been used to designate mod-
est movies that achieve unexpect-
ed success — “Marty,” "Cham-
pion” and the like.
Aherne wasn’t looking for any-
thing like a long run after he fin-
ished 15 months in the road com-
pany of “My Fair Lady.” The
producer wanted him to sign on
for another five years at a fine
salary.
"I couldn’t possibly,” he said.
“If I had stayed with the show
any longer, I would have lost my
health, my wife, my family, ft
was absolutely exhausting. I don’t
understand how Rex Harrison was
able to do it for two years in New
York and one in London.”
Aherne limped back to Holly-
wood to marshal his force*. Then
he received a call from his long-
time co-star, Katherine Cornell.
She said a talented man named
Jerome Kilty had put together
the correspondence between Mrs.
Patrick Campbell and George
Bernard Shaw for a reading.
They ended up giving a highly
charged rendition of a romance
that spanned four decades. The
tryout was cheered from Arizona
to Florida.
"We suddenly discovered we
had a hit on our hands.” said
Aherne. “None of us ever sus-
pected it. We thought it was some-
thing that might go over in aca-
demic communities. .So it was
booked as a concert through Sol
Hurok.
"We were scheduled a year
ahead to play big college auditor-
iums and one-nighters; the tickets
were already sold. We can’t even
get Into New York until March.”

The 31-year-old American was
stem faced but otherwise out-
wardly indifferent as he was
brought under guard before an In-
donesian air force court-martial
for the trial that could mean a
death sentence.
Pope, who flew combat missions
in the Korean War, was captured
May 18, 1958, after his B26 was
shot down over the Banda Sea
during the uprising in Sumatra
and the Celebes.
Four charges were lodged
against him. They were helping
enemies of the state and carrying
arms and ammunition, each of
which carried a maximum death
sentence, and rebellion against the
state and killing Indonesian na-
tionals. The latter two carry maxi-
mum sentences of 15 years im-
prisonment.
Pope’s Indcnetian lawyer, ap-
pointed by the court, challenged
the validity of the trial. He also
protested he had not been given
time to prepare his case since the
English translation of the charges
