Hollywood's famed Sam ("include me out") Goldwyn has warred for years against: 1) double features, 2) overproduction of movies, and 3) the English language. Last week he was happily fighting again, on a new front this time-Hollywood's method of marketing its product. Warrior Goldwyn complained that independent moviemakers, such as himself, are throttled by the monopolistic major producing companies (which control theatres grossing 70% of U.S. movie receipts) and theater chains (which control a substantial part of the rest).

As a professional soldier he is distinctly the command-and-staff rather than the warrior type. Ike Eisenhower never took a platoon or a company into battle. The smallest military organization he has ever commanded in actual combat was the Allied Expeditionary Force that went into French North Africa in November 1942. He has no specific battle experience remotely comparable to that of Britain's Generals Montgomery...
