with the United States.
In Allied countries in Karopt-.
pressure is growing for talks witii
Russia. Talks on easing tension,
high level talks on ilisarroamrnt-
any kind of talks that would gire
hope of removing th<* H-horufc
threat.
It vmight seem that Russia would
welcome a Far Eastern crisis, on
tilt? theory that Communists
vravs welcome anything that cau.-< s
a free country troahte.
But the Kremlin has problems
of its own. Its food situation is In-
coming increasingly serious. Some
experts believe it could reach the
crisis stage next winter. The shuf-
fie in the Soviet government whii-h
started with the ousting of Georgi
M. Maienknv as premier continues.
The position of Foreign Minister
Vyaeheslav M. Molotov may i e
shaky.
N<>\ the Kremlin is faced with
German armament.
Finally, it must he remembered
that Russia is closely allied by
treaty with Communist China.
What would happen if, in the
| evert of an armed clash between
j "he Red Chinese and the Cnited
( States,the Reds called on Soviet
; Russia for military aid?

HOLLYWOOD<r.P> — A detei-
mined Jennifer Jones said she
wants to sweep away the tumo.s
that her husband is a Svegaii who
"interferes" with her career.
The mysterious Miss Jones, one
of movietown's finest actresse.1,
long has been a subject of specu-
lation in the film colony.
She appears aloof to some co-
i vvokers, shy and insecure t o
! others. She is rarely interviewed
by the press, and the stories long
! have sizzled the gossip col urns
i that her husband, eminent pro-
ducer David O. Selznick, -who dis-
covered her and then married her,
still wields control over her ca-
reer.
While she was starring in Italy
in "Beat the Devil." her cowork-
ers say, Sefcrnick allegedly dispatch-
ed 10-page memos daily to director
John Huston as to how his wife
should be directed.
But the actress, in her first in-
terview hei-e in three years, tfe-
.-iurtd heatedly "he naa never in-
ter ferred in-any way."
"This is a subject I usually
avoid," she said, her big, brawn
eyes flashing. "But perhaps it's
time I spoke up.
"He has at times been asked
for advice. As a matter of friend-
ship, he has given his adviee. it
j very often happened they turntd
| back on him and people said he
j interferred.
"After all." she said, "my hus-
! hand is David O. Selznick and he's
| not a man to ignore.
j "He is much too busy, much too
; occupied with his own interests to
j become involved in anyone else's
| production.
"He was interested in the ca-
reers of Ingrid Bergman, Vivien
Leigh and other stars he had under
contract. A certain amount of pro-
tection is implied. But as far as
interferance is concerned, that is
really quite ridiculous!
"I get quite hot under the collar
when people say and print these
things. He wants me to be happy.
When I say f Vant to do a role,
he says all right."
Jennifer's personal story has
been a dramatic one. As Phyllis
Isley she rode that-away in 1938
westerns. The Tulsa girl finally
returned discouraged to New York.
There she walked into Selznick's
office to try for the film role of
"Claudia," and the famed pto-
vlucer signed her. Her then hus-
band, Robert Walker, became a
film star, too.
Selznick changed her name and
made her a star in her first film
"The Song of Bernadette." Short-
ly after she woo an Oscar for that
film, she divorced Walker. The
beautiful brunette married her
producer-boss four years later, in
t94J>. In 1951 Walker, a tragic fig-
ore, died after a doctor gave him
a sedative to calm his emotional
state.
The former Miss Isley continued
to reign as a top actress and also
as the sedate, lowly wile of a
Hollywood producer. But in recent
suffered some setbacks. *
