Mulvey Mulvey's Withdrawal From Goldwyn in Effect The retirement of James A.

However, he will maintain his own offices for the management of numerous family interests, including investments in independent and imported film productions, bowling alleys in Connecticut, stockholdings in the Los Angeles Dodgers, and a variety of other investments. Associated with Mulvey in the management and extension of such interests is his son. Eyes 'First Real Vacation' Mulvey observed he will have plenty with which to keep occupied and, at the same time, will be able to take his first real vacation since he started work at the age of 14.

Douglas Netter, who has been with Goldwyn since 1958, will take over the supervision of the company office here. No Senate Action on Foreign Claims Bills From THE DAILY Bureau WASHINGTON, June 30.
