He has fi- nally made it in films after two false starts; but he still consid- ers the stage his profession. ISN'T UNREASONABLE This is not an unreasonable stance. He has starred on the New York and London stage to critical acclaim. His interpre- tation of Shakespearean heroes has been hailed at all three Stratfords (Ontario, Connecticut and on Avon) and his TV Ham- let, filmed at Elsinore Castle, the receive States "Certainly we. all know the dramatic limitations of specta- cles, but the picture was better than most of its kind," he said AGREES WITH CRITICS On the other hand, Plummer agreed with critics who called his next film,.The Sound of Mu- sic, saccharine. ."We tried not to make it that way, but the ma- terial overwhelmed us,"' he said "Anyway, it was what I needed A big commercial success." The momentum carried him to his latest film, Inside Daisy Clover. He plays a Svengali-like film producer of the 1930s-- Handsomer than Louis B. Mayer, taller than Irving Thal- berg."

ICE-BREAKING OPERATION The tour is above all an ice breaking operation--a term that crops up again and again in British newspaper reports. As Vincent Mulchrone writes in the London Daily Mail: "Nobody, least of all the Ger mans, expects a love match, let alone an engagement, to come of all this. Enough, for the mo- ment, that Britain's Queen Is here saying 'forget' if not ex actly 'forgive.' The Germans, of course, are not a down-trodden, defeated people looking 'for crumbs from anybody -- economically, they are better off than the British President de Gaulle, arms outstretched, has long since as- sured the Germans, in their own language, of their essential role in resurgent Europe The late President Kennedy \lifted the Germans to frenzied cheers with his pledge of United States protection and his further pledge '"'Ich bin ein Berliner: (1 am a Berliner)."'

Said John ager of the pany: "When I heard about what the men and their union de- cided, it nearly brought tears to my eyes. Paying them all more than an extra pound a week would have put us on the spot. Their decision gives us a breathing space." The drivers won't get a pound raise, but they will get 3s fd (about 53 cents) more The question of arose when it was recently an- nounced that under a national agreement, all truck drivers are to an extra six per cent beginning next month Davidson, trucking man- com- tion that it was the intent of Congress.
