HOLLYWOOD—William Wyler,
three-time Academy Award win-
ner, who was honored this year
with the coveted Irving G. Thal-
berg Award, has been signed to
direct "Patton" for 20th Century-
Fox, Richard D. Zanuck, vice- ,
president in charge of production,
announced recently.
"Patton," to be produced for
the studio by Frank McCarthy with
an announced budget of over
$10,000,000, is based on the bio-
graphy of the - late, once highly
controversial General George S.
Patton, Jr., written by Ladislas
Farago and titled, "Patton, Ordeal
and Triumph," with the screen
adaptation by Francis Ford
Coppola.
Wyler plans commencement of
photography in February of next
year, with exteriors to be shot in
Spain and interiors at the 20th
Century-Fox studios in Hollywood.
The Iberian location was chosen
because the Spanish army has
large quantities of World War II
equipment maintained by soldiers
who know how to operate it. Pro-
ducer McCarthy has obtained the
full cooperation of the Franco
government, though the picture
has a definite anti-Nazi slant. .
When Wyler completes editing,
scoring and dubbing on "How To
Steal A Million," the Audrey
Hepburn-Peter O'Toole comedy, in
which "Oscar" winner .Hugh Grif-
fith appears as the young lady's
millionaire father, and Eli Wallach
and Charles Boyer have important
parts, the film director will junket
to Europe with his producer to
select locations for "Patton': in
Spain.
Leon Belasco as the dialogue coach
and Moscovite language teacher.

Cash Checks; Nix Loans
BUENOS AIRES (JTA) — The
credit cooperative banks whose
activities were restricted by the
new government of President On-
gania, to the detriment of many
Jewish small merchants, July 20
started cashing checks in small
amounts, thus relieving some of
the tension which the restrictions
caused.
However, the cooperative banks
cannot grant any loans as yet for
the time being.

Our City retires . . . the aged, the infirm, widows with helpless
children ... today struggle to exist almost at starvation level because
yesterday's dollars won't buy today's groceries. These men and
women have given their best years to our City's service. Can we face
our consciences if we deprive our City retirees of the right to live out
their retirement years in dignity, free from the shadow of want?
Detroit has a reputation for fair play. Let's live up to that reputation!
Let's keep our City retirees from going on welfare and at the same
time keep our welfare costs from skyrocketing!

Charles L. Levin was rated in a
Detroit News editorial as the best
qualified candidate for judge in
the Michigan Court of Appeals.
Levin, 40, has been an attorney
for 19 years. The editorial said
"It's a busy court, and it's due to
get busier. Levin's combination of
legal background and the vigor of
relative youth will be an asset."
It cited his "fine credentials in
education and experience, and a
reputation for legal scholarship,"

Joseph Stein's Broadway comedy,
"Enter Laughing," based on the
semi-autobiographical novel by
Carl Reiner dealing with his entry
into show business, has been
streamlined for the screen and
went before the cameras at Colum-
bia Studios in Hollywood.
With Stein and Reiner co-produc-
ing from their own screenplay,
Academy Award winners Shelley
Winters and Jose Ferrer co-star
with Elaine May (of the comedy
team Nichols and May—now mak-
ing her screen debut), Jack Gil-
ford„Janet Mar g o 1 i n. David
Opatoshu, Michael J. Pollard, Don

Reni Santoni, New York performer

Griffin Show, in his film debut as
young "hopeful" Reiner, a Jewish
boy from the Bronx who made his
entry into show biz via the Man-
hattan garment center.

Carl Reiner, who rose to fame
and fortune as "second banana"
on the old Sid Caesar TV show,
recipient of eight "Emmys," now
directing his own screen epic,
"Enter Laughing," can be seen
currently in the hilarious spoof
on war hysteria, "The Russians
Are Coming, The Russians Are
Coming," in which Alan Arkin
(who portrayed Reiner on the
Broadway stage in "Enter Laugh-
ing") appears as Lt. Rozanov,
leader of the Soviet landing party
at an island off the coast of
Massachusetts. "The Russians Are
Coming . . " is a contemporary
comedy which takes a rather
impertinent look at our modern-day
confusion on both sides of the
Iron Curtain and comes up with
a very simple, human solution.
Based on the novel, "The Off-
Islanders" by Nathaniel Benchley,
with a screenplay by William Rose,
the picture was produced and
directed by Norman Jewison for
the Mirisch Brothers. While Arkin
(who also scored on the stage
in "Luv" and "Second City")
snatched the plum role of Rozanov
in the current epic, Reiner is
seen as the nitwit comedy writer
Whittaker; Theodore Bikel as a
Russian-speaking, swaggering sub-
marine commander whose anxiety
almost causes bloodshed; Ben Blue
as a modern Paul Reveres with
