David Goldbogen, brother of the late Cinemogul Mike Todd, last week had an eye-boggling idea for dressing up the plot in Forest Park, Ill., where Mike's body lies. The proposal: a 9-ft.-tall, 2-ton, $8,000 marble statue of filmdom's Oscar, which Mike won for Around the World in 80 Days (still busy at the box offices).

Beise (rhymes with icy) joined the Bank of America in 1936 at Giannini's invitation after an early career in banking, took over as president in 1954.
