For in real life, Mr. Walcott is an active deacon in his church, a Sunday School teach. er and a lay-preacher. He is active in the Hollywood Christinn Group and has played in many religious pictures. ,!. y ) In speaking to the mid-week ser. vice of the Baptist ' Church here last Wednesday evening, Mr. War cott told of , the Christian side of the film capitol and' asserted bold ly that he believed that someday Hollywood would be the "Christian mecca" of " the. world due to the wide influence of such groups as the Hollywood Christian Group and the spread of religious films such as ','The Robe" and 'Martin Luther" and others. ' Mr. Walcott was accompanied by his charming bride of a few months Whom .he met at a meeting of the Hollywood Christian Group at the home of th famous-aototv -Roy Rogers. - , - On his return to Hollywood, the young actor will . begin work im mediately on a new picture, "I Died A Thousand Times" which will star Edward G. Robinson. Asked what he contributes his vising success to as nn actor in h ighly competitive Hollywood, Mr. Walcott says it is due to his two agents Mr. Wallace Middleton and "The Lord."

News Report Front Washington ous groups may be forthcoming in the national convention next year. If the Eisenhower organisation is not badly mistaken, it will have a majority of members of the key credentials committee on its side when the convention meets. The Old Guard party groups from various southern states-r-Vho have been unimpressive in building up the Republican party in .' the South will have, a difficult: time gutting organized. Instead,, new Republican factions which have a better chance. to build party -membership in. Dixie, Will get'the ndd.

The United States, which looks upon developments in this part of the world with more than detached interest, is officially- disturbed about tense" situations' in at least three Central American countries, and one of them is Guatemala! The former President of the pro- Communist regime in Guatemala, who was harbored by Mexicans in the Mexican Embassy in Guatemala City during the revolution, is re liably reported to have been buy ing arms in Switzerland recently on trying to buy them. One of the factors which will discourage some to sell to Col Ja obe -Guzman is- the fear that United States ships might inter fere with' arms shipments to Cen tral America, especially if they are Communist arms, bound for. a Com munist group seeking to oust Presi dent Carlos Armas in Guatemala. But Communist business men in Europe are probably eager to sell to Guzman. The situation is such in Guatemala that trouble- might easily start if and when Guzman receives arms. ' Another threatening situation ex ists nearby. Costa Rica and Nica ragua are carrying on a bitter war of nerves and Nicaragua's purchase of twenty-five F-61 Mustangs re cently sent a chill down the backs of several Central American coun tries. This single purchase gives Nicaragua a dominating, air -force in the area. Revolutions are reported possi ble in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, -Honduras and -other countries --in' the next few '- weeks and months. " Perhaps none ' will come off but there are constant rumors that trouble is ahead in .these states. ' The Reds naturally sek to ex ploit every opening in Central America, and new revolutions of fer them the best opportunity of gaining positions of power and in fluence very close to the United States. The Communists are not unaware of this and are doing ev erything possible to ferment trou ble. ' President Eisenhower and some of his top aides are now ready to carry out a policy already tenta tively underway,, which would give the Republican party its best chance to make inroads in the Solid- South in many decades. That 'policy is 'one which would encourage new blood to take over the- old, ' small and unpopular Re publican party organizations in sev eral states in Dixie. : ? ..It fa no secret, that the Republi cans are already withholding pa tronage from some old Guard Re publican' party organizations ? in southern states. They are doing so because these Old Guard party organizations have traditionally been more concerned with staying in power than in expanding the party. One cap recall that most of these party organizations were opposed to Mr. Eisenhower in the Republi can' national convention in 1952. !r.
