2X hr sy ° = a On The Set With Marilyn Monroe The town of Dayton, Nev., one hour southeast of Reno, is hot (110 on a bad day) and tiny (population: 200), But Dayton was recently the scene of the filming of "The Misfits," and for a time the celebritics were thicker than. the flies: Director *John Huston; writer Arthur Miller, wife Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift, Clark Gable, Thelma Ritter, Eli Wallach, The - making of "The Misfits" some- times had the feeling of a play within a play -- featuring Hus- ton, . the soother of rumpled feélings; Gable famous for his dislike of waiting, and Miss Mon- roe, famous {or being late. Last week Miss Monroe, ex- ~hausted by both heat and work, was ordered into a Los Angeles hospital for a rest, and filming was abruptly suspended. The following is NEWSWEEK re- porter Richard Mathison's ac- count of a typical day in Day- ton immediately before the sut- "down: * NM . At 10 a.m. in Reno, John Hus- ton and Arthur Miller emerged from the lavish Mapes Hotel, climbed in to a chauffeur-driven tan Cadillac, and set off across the mountains for Dayton and another day's filming. Huston sighed happily. "Well, I ran into trouble last night," he said. "Went downstairs and dropped a thousand . .. Then went back up to the top floor of the casino and got it back, and two thou- sand besides." Two companions expressed admiration, but Miller, puffing on a worn pipe, merely gave Houston a silent sidelong glance. At the moment the Huston schedule runs about as follows: til 11 p.m., then a huge plate of cottage cheese and a trip down- stair to the crap tables until 4 or 5 am. followed by another nap and then conferences. with Miller at 7.

Hurry, send rived, the latter wearing a long black duster, dark glasses, and a pointed black straw hat that made her look vaguely like a figure from a Charles Addams cartoon. Gable, across the street, looking like a marshal watching a suspicious stranger ride into town, squinted and lit a cigar- clte, "Filming finally fash with a scene in which the five stars 'enter town in an old car. Mrs. Strasberg, munching corn chips and yellow cheese, watched her wedged-in pupil. "She's a mar- velous actress," she announced, to nobody in particular. "Marvel- ous.' At the 2:15 lunch break, Miss Monroe walked over to Huston. "I'm sorry I was late," she said softly. "I've lost- some weight," she added, abstraetedly. Huston walked to a near-by house taken over by the produ- cer, poured himself a vodka on the rocks, and attacked the prob- lem of finding a tall and classic- looking Indian, as called for in Miller's script. All the local Pai- utes are under 5 feet 2, and non- classic. In the town saloon --- refurb- ished for the movie -- Gable sat sipping a lemon drink and listening to the complaint of a bearded native who had cornered him. "Not used to beer," the native was complaining. "Drank nothing but champagne all my life. Seen more of the world than anyone here, including you." Gable nodded. The lunch break over, rehears- als began inside the bar. Miss Monroe, slightly skittish in her scenes with Gable, looked re- peatedly at her husband (he nods very -slightly when he feels she "Gable is a mag- nificent actor," said Mrs. Stras- berg with an expression of sur- prised delight. "I watch him and study "all those little moves. He is truly: wonderful. I want to find some way to tell him." Clift, jubilant one moment and "silent the next, was watching from the sidelines, and singing "Mountain Greenery." Mrs. Strasberg gave some ex- tensive direction to her pupil while Miss Monroe fretted. Gable listened with a poker face, then, at the conclusion, gave the coach a broad wink. Across the street, two beer- drinking natives, one youthful, bearded, and enthusiastic, the other elderly and cynical, sat watching the young Hollywood girls walk by in their tight torea- dor- pants. A peroxide blonde swished past, and-the enthusiast sighed ecstatically. "Now lookit the finest woman I ever saw." The old man helped himself to a thumbnail of snuff. "I seen bet- ter heads on hogs," he announced. When the day's filming was fin- ished, the Millers, Huston, and Clift departed together for Reno, Gable drove off alone, heading for the huge Reno house he rents with his wife, servants, and dogs. "I think Gable will blow up just once," an observer said thoughtfully. "He's going to have to let everybody know where he stands." -- From NEWSWEEK. Now The Poor Pooch Can't Even Scratch! To the four basic dog frce- doms -- freedom to bark, bite; bait cats, and bury bones--an Oregon scientist proposed last month to add still a fifth: Free- dom from the old scratch. Dr. R. L. Goulding, an assistant pro- fessor at Oregon State College in Corvallis, believes that by feeding dogs certain chemicals he can make it positively fatal to a flea to bite a dog. It's not/that Dr. Goulding espe= cially fancies dogs. As an ento- mologist, he's interested in in- sects and got his- big flash last fall while - experimenting - with insecticides, He was working with Ruelen and ronnel, synthe- tic chemicals that are added to stock feed which, once in the bloodstream, kill pests that bite cattle, When it occurred to him that the same trick might work on dogs and fleas, Dr. Goulding bor- rowed dogs from his friends, but like the these pooches "didn't salty, bitter taste of the chemi- cals. Next he whistled up four puppies. "Puppies," he explain- ed, "will eat anything." On each he strapped a porous container .of fleas and began feeding the chemicals to three "of the dogs. Three days later, the three dogs were flea free. but the fourth was scratching furiously. "As far as we can tell," Dr. Goulding said, "these synthetic chemicals are com- pletely harmless. There's just one hitch. As the dog gets older, he gets more discriminating, and he doesn't like the taste." Now Dr, Goulding's problem ,is to teach old dogs his new tricks.

Through "the "window He saw 1wo tagged women grubbing inthe garbage cans in his alley. "A torrent of invectives tore out of me," Dr. Townsend would recall. He dashed off a pam- phlet: It proposed $200-a-month pension to a retired person over 60 in scrip to be spent within a month, Before long, an_ estimated 30 million people had rallied around the ple in Dr. Town- send's sky. The way was easy. When as many as 100 paid 25 cents each for a copy of the new gospel, they could form a Town- send Club. About 8,000 such clubs became a huge political force overnight, In those days, any candidate for Congress usually made haste the Townsendites. At one time, Dr. Townsend himself defied a Con- gressional committee looking in- to his followers' finances--and _ was forgiven a 30-day jail sent- ence by Franklin D. Roosevelt. - Ungratefully, the single-minded old doctor even tried to elect his own President, the Union Party candidate William Lemke, in 1936. =. Early this month at the age of 93, Dr, Townsend died in a Los Angeles hospital. His Townsend- ites "had . shrunken - 'elubs whose purposes nowadays are social." ~The soclal-security program had long since robbed the Townsendites of much of their force. But the biggest blow was ' the World War II-inspired boom, because Townsend's basic plan was never intended just to get pensions for old folks. What he . wanted was to end poverty. If old people got pensions, he rea-. soned, they would open jobs for - the young. And if they had to spend their monthly scrip fast, they would create still more jobs. 5 SLIGHTLY SWELLED HEAD?

It was a cool day so I wheeled my sun-cot from the front porch to the back patio where it was more sheltered. Then the sun came out, bright and warm. There was no way of escaping it so I went into the house and came out with a para- sol. So there was I, holding a parasol up with one hand-and Partner was sitting quite happily in a garden chair, He doesn't mind the sun at all, I wouldn't either except that it bothers my eyes. One thing is certain, I wasn't sitting in the sun last week! Our September heat wave was really awful while it lasted, wasn't it? On one of those ninety degree days 1 was sche- duled to speak at a W.I. meet- ing near Ginger Farm. I wished I could call it off but of course I didn't. On the way over I several farms where threshing was in progress and I - thought to myself -- what have I to grumble about compared. with "the women who are having to cook meals for threshers? Strange to say the talk I had prepared was entitled "Look "Back "in Gladness." In it T was comparing present day farm housekeeping to what it was thirty years ago. Now that hydro is "available for farm folk we have electric stoves, refrigera- tors, plug-in kettles and so on. Very different from the days ~ when getting meals for threshers meant either cooking on an oil- stove or bringing in chips from the backyard to make a quick fire in the kitchen range. Either way. created extra heat. I couldn't have chosen a better day to suggest to my fellow W.I back .in gladness. 3 On the way home I stopped to pay brief visits to a. few former neighbours. At one place _a large. swimming pool had been. installed at the back of the house. - About four adults and half a dozen children were hav- ing a wonderful time. But I am not sure that they were having any more fun-than our genera- tion did at the "ole swimmin' hole" down at the creek. I might add this swimming pool had not been installed from the proceeds of farm income, Although still living in the old farm house -- remodelled -- this young fellow has a far more lucrative income than he ever got from farming. A funny thing happened -on- 3 my cross-country trip. I had be given directions on how get from one place to another -- to farms we had known for . thirty-five years, This was all on account of Highway 401, That is to say people on certain farms now have to drive several miles to reach the next farm, because instead of a line fence the 401 is'now the dividing line. It is slightly confusing until you get used to it.

Well, Dee and the boys are home from the cottage and back to normal living, Dave is strug- gling once again with the mys- teries of the "three R's." Not too enthusiastically, I gather. They were here Friday, well tanned and full of pep. Incidentally, during the summer I noticed quite a number of letters in the press, for and against mothers and children spending the sum- mer by the lake, leaving father to sweat it out downtown, work- ing all week and then driving to the: cottage for the week-end. + Some letters made the women sound awfully selfish. But are they? Mothers of small children are not just sitting around all summer, There is work no mat- * ter. where you stay. But at least the children have more freedom get more fresh air and build up reserve strength against the wine ter.
