Amounts Variable Yearly pensions, or annuities, for a retiring Congressman range (in amount -pavable at age (2 1 from S1.4C) to S7."00. The size of a pension depends upon two things: The amount the Congressman con tributed to the Civil Service Retire ment Fund and the length of his service. it .Tie b'2. man in a v. u a full contribu t to the retire-pen-ion then is A retiring Com' he desires, m.il-e tion with intcii ment fund.

Speaking in German, the dean, the Very Rev. C. A.

D The lure of the fur coats displayed in a local store window proved disastrous for a stray coyote. When discovered-, the animal was jumping excitedly at the window and was dispatched with a bullet from a policeman's gun. HOLLYWOOD After four years in the Air Forces, ex-Capt. Robert Presloix finds Hollywood "17 times as alert as when I left." i "You can sit down and talk poli tics as sensibly with an actor as with a lawyer." this stream-lined green-eyed giant told me between takes of "The Big Uaii'cut." Bob thinks it's easier fop an actor than for most fblks to, keep a pro per perspective on, controversial is sues . . . because the actor lives so- many synthetic careers. Vn one picture he's a bum; maybe, ana in the neat,, a capitalist . . . Honest, that's what the man said. But Bub's- most interesting dis closure was that he has taught his five-year-old Irish setter,, Mike, to. talk. It took a lob of? patience and sugar cookies. When. Bob- aad his actress wife, Catherine Craift return home from any absence, Mike growls, "Where were you?" For the Silver Lining and HI Wind file: The studio strike has kept Charles Coburn from start ing work in "Little Women" (the picture was postponed because color-film facilities were tied up), but he has been able to enjoy life that much more. "I've been going to ball: games, fights, and the opera," the digni fied; 69"-year-old character actor said during a lull in the rehearsal for a radio program. The monocled Oscar winner has never permitted his career to inter fere with hifr enjoyment of life, though he believed in moderation: "I have no prohibitions and no in hibitions," Coburn said. He smokes a dozen cigars a day, drinks five or six Scotch-and-sodas per evening, doesn't walk so far as across the street it he doesn't have to. A widower, he lives alone in an apartment next door to Ciro's, an expensive night spot which he rarely visits. Week-ends he spends at home or around town; as for dashing off to Palm Springs, "you might as well tell me I have to take a dose of disagreeable medU cine!" Steve Cochran, who does a swell job as a moanie in a mediocre pic ture, "The Chase," has the best cook in Hollywood, a colored wo man named Alma. This I state un equivocally after an evening visit to Steve's bachelor hideaway in a Beverly Hills canyon . . . and a sampling of her steaks, baked po tatoes, with cheese, and lemon creafrr pie. Steve, a dark, hand some young raajj with a triangular face, kills time awaiting his next pieture assignment by studying Chinese and- learning to- sail a 27 foot ketch both just for fun.

Another casualty to the recent election is Rep. Andrew J. May of Kentucky. May is 71 and has been in the House almost sixteen years. A contribution of $2,716 would bring him a pension start ing at S3.376 a year and declining to S3.298 when he is 75. Hep Hatton Summers of Texas, who did not seek re-election, has been in Congress since March 4, 1913. If he makes the minimum S2.716 contribution, his pension will begin at SG.220 and decline to 56,009.

I hate being' conspicuous. But after 2 years of acting, I'd hardly know what etee to. do." Douff was making himself pretty conspicuous the day I saw bihi. He was rehearsing' for a radio show to do for a half hour what he dis likes, and; a repeat broadcast later in the evening for which he would receive approximately $3,0001 At noon, be had' addressed a downtown, crowd from the City Hall' steps, as a- vice-president of the- American- Association for the United Nations. "Belief in a cause sometimes impels you- to do things you'd rather nor have to," Doug said. He explained: Mere acting "interpretation" bores hint; he enjoys it only when he has a hand also tin the welting; and "creation" of movies. That" s Why he's now an independent producer. I asked' Doug what career he thinks he would have undertaken if he hadn't followed in his father's agiJc footsteps as an actor. "Probably the diplomatic serv ice," he said spurning the steps and leaping four feet to the stage to resume his rehearsal. What becomes of an old-time boxer? Well, he may wind up as a movie stunt man. Raspy-voiced, 190-pound Frank Moran had nearly 100 heavyweight bouts between 1908 and 1923. He lost a 20-round decision to Jack Johnson at Paris in 1914 . . . bat tled Jess Willard for 10 rounds and no decision at Madison Square Garden in 1916. But for 17. years he has been dishing it out and taking it in the movies' phoney but sometimes painful fist fights. t found Alan Ladd' pretending to bop Moran in "The Big Hair cut," which boasts 42 stunt men and one of the fiercest fights on screen record. Frank would jerk his big, shaggy head back as Alan's fist appeared to connect. It's a good living stunt men earn $-100 a cfiay and Frank doesn't mind being battered with balsa wood' chairs, which break anart easily. Buddies in this bone-bust ing business; respect him for an impressive ring eareer. "But say," he rasped; "put down that the thing I'm proudest of mo6t is, that Fm a grandfather!" TOBACCO CONTROL You know if you have any sense at all, that the economy ot North Carolina is based on tobacco that S5 per cent of our agricultural money last year came from the weed, and that it brings in about one million dollars a year to North Carolina in all its phases ... But did you ever stop to think that the Republicans can toss to bacco control out of the window overnight and not lose one vote0 That's right, for tobacco control is in Democratic states, as it hap pens.
