Starlet Says People Talking Can Assist With Popularity "People can make you popular by talking about you," says blonde, 16-year-old Tuesday Weld who says "the only time a Hollywood ' starlet should worry is when 'they' say nothing. I'd rather have 'them' say something." She says she has been called: "A child woman." "The next Marilyn Monroe" "A firey Brigette Bardot." "Jayne Mansfield, rear view." "Sixteen, going on 30." "But these references do not distress me," insists the voluptu ous starlet, who could give any glamor girl a run for her money. Tuesday has been in three mo vies, her latest with 'Danny Kaye in "The Five Pennies."-She was born on Thursday, two days late, which accounts for her name, she says. Her hobby js "philosophy." Writing Loved "I love to write philosophy stor iesmy thoughts, emotions, concep tions, sort of Freudian type ex cerpts. But I don't share my phi losophy. Each must find his own. Our ideas change as we grow. They must, otherwise we would get static, and it's no fun to be static." There is no danger of Tuesday becoming static, she assures with her infectious smile and merry laugh. She has many beaus, but "I like the gentlemanly type." she says, "though they should he rugged. 1 don't like yes men. And I prefer a man with a wide scope of in terests horseback riding elec tronics, history. I like to learn things from men." That's how Tuesday became fond of pool, a game she loves. "I don't see why more women do not play pool," she says. "They bowl, ski, fish and skin dive. Why do they frown at pool?" Many young girls ask Tuesday's advice about Hollywood. Is it worth it? Should they try for it? "I tell them to stay home." Tues day says. Why? Because it s not all gla mor, fun, gay life, she says. Strain Is Great Ts a great strain, even giving an interview to the press, she laughs. It you still insist on trying your luck in movieland, she says, re member there is enormous compe tition, and that you'll need a good drama coach, and no matter what you've heard to the contrary: The wolves are still there. "As a matter of fact, they re hanging from the trees." laughs Tuesday who says that though "some are fun, you must know how to handle them." "Oh, yes," she adds. "And don t forget to take your mother with you." Tuesday began her career mod cling for Harry Conover at age 2'i. At 6 she was a television perform er. She is an accomplished singer and dancer. She depends on swim ming, dancing and other activities to keep her weight down. She explains:' "I just can't lie on the floor in the morning kick ing my legs around for exercise even though I gain weight easily."

Beoutiful Styles in Loce. Shantung, Toyo and Straw. Mostly white with a few summer colors in this By W. G. ROGERS Aitocialtd Praia Arts Editor NEW YORK, (API "Faith in God, love for people, and vision of a better world" this is not the credo of a preacher but a piano player who exactly a year ago was catapulted over night into fame. I Once in a while a singer comes out of a church choir; actress Kthcl Waters enthusiastically proclaims her belief; Jenny l.inil was notably devout. Here is one more musician who, instead of hailing from Bo hemia, comes from Baptist Sun day School and prayer meeting, and persists in his double allegi ance to pulpit and concert platform, cnurcn and music nan. When it came to writing a book about him, "The Van Cliburn Leg end" (published next Monday by Doubleday), it seemed natural that two authors were needed to cover the subject's two brisht facets, and the work is described on the title page as "By Abram Chasins j with Villa Stiles." Chasins is the musician. Miss Stiles the inspira tional writer. Hugged by Khrushchtv On April 13, 1958, Van Cliburn won the first piano prize of the Tchaikovsky competition in Mos cow, where he was hugged and bussed on both checks by Nikita Khrushchev. It could be that with out the prayers of the church goers of Kilgore, Tex., young Cliburn would never have been kissed by the Communist boss of atheist Rus sia: As he got ready for the severe ordeal of appearing before the judges, says Chasins unless this is Miss Stiles speaking "He did not neglect to telephone his par ents in Kilgore to notify them of the time he would be playing and to elicit their spiritual support. They, in turn, elided the support of the local ministers, and 'later I learned (says Cliburn) that the ministers had asked the whole town to pray for me. My parents did not pray for me to win, because winning in their minds is not al ways the best thing. They prayed that God's will be done.' " The news of his victory came to the senior Cliburns by phone call from Moscow just before they left for a prayer meeting. For a previous competition in Chicago.! the first time he missed a major prize, he also had prayed, explain ing, "I'm praying to God to give me the strength to hear it if I don't come through." One conduct or "blew his stack," in Chasins' words, when during a performance a pedal on Cliburn's piano broke, and the devout young artist promptly walked the enraged and profane maestro off the stage say ing, "Let's pray." They did. "God's Language" Music is God's language," Cli burn believes and often says. One photo in the book shows him with hands clasped in prayer just before he did his first Carnegie Hall concert after the Moscow tri umph. He had a private box in Madison Square Garden for evan gelist Billy Graham's rally. What with the prayers, the tick er tape and the incredible adula tion of which this book contains an apparently complete and de tailed record the boy makes one of the really extraordinary stories in the art life of our time. Though you may have heard him in a con cert, and seen him, you need this biography to give an adequate idea of the intensity of the storm and furor he has kicked up, in all innocence, wherever he has appear ed in the last 12 months. Before he went to Moscow, he got $100 or less for a concert; since Moscow, he has on otic oc- casion in California collected $18, 000 for two nights, and in his na tive Texas, $10,500 for a one-day j affair. Once he got $75 on a TV i show; now the same show paid him $3,000. His sinalo recording of the ( Tchaikovsky may sell one million i discs this year. Somt Critical Objections Chasins points, fairly, to some critical objections raised, in par ticular lately, to some of Cliburn's playing, but mostly he sticks to the almost incredible success storv. The boy was born July 12, 1931, and named Harvey Lavan Cliburn Jr., for his businessman father. His mother, Rildia Bee O'Bryan, taught piano, and the boy decided when he was three or four that if she could teach his playmates she could teach him. He was a fast grower, till he reached his present 6-fecM, and perhaps in connection with that he has had more than his share n boils and carbuncles; he has been ft -4. W r "r 9 - Jit if " X ' v , irV'n- if . laid up jut recently with one bail finger, and when hp went to Rus sia, iorearnied against sickness he took along 300 vitamin pills and some gelatin. lie fell early into the habit ol winning priz.es both in his home town and in Texas. In 1951 he en tered Juilliard, in New York. He greeted his teacher to be, Mine. Itosina Lhevinne. with, "Itonev, I'm here to study with you." When he squeezed two pianos into his room, he told his landlady excitedly, "Honey, it looks just like home'" When he won the coveted I.evenlritt award, he reported to Mine. Lhe vinne, "Honey, I got it!" Wherever he goes ho is spotted, and followed. Girls want to sit lit the restaurant table whore he sa', old men bless him for what he has done for America, cab drivers blow their horns, and policemen cra:'k In in on the hack. He stays up to all hours, keeps a schedule that would kill an ordinary man, and doesn't even have time to buy himself clothes he played one Carnegie Hall concert with the sole of one shoe flapping so loose he fastened it with a rubber band. Chasins remarks that, though Washington has been coldly for mal about Cliburn's success! local governments have shown the wild est enthusiasm, lie suggests it's time we gave more recognition to the invaluable service performed for us at home culturally and abroad both culturally and politi cally by a youth of Cliburn's mag netic appeal. ...V' 117 V A.

Students Escape Penalty For Two Tilts With Police NEW HAVEN. Conn. (AP) - City Court today decided not to prosecute 42 Yale students charged with participating in two tussles with police. Judge Charles ltenchcl gavel nisi continuances until June 1 in i all cases. In effect, this means the I charges will be dropped at that I time unless there is a change in j the situation. These cases should not and ought notito bo prosecuted," Asst. City Attorney Frank Meadow told the judge. Few of the students were even in court to answer the charges, mostly breach of peace. They were accused of throwing snow balls at police March 12 and 14. Police used fire hoses and hilly clubs to put down the March 14 uprising. Meadow said he was making his recommendation because Mayor Richard C. I.ee had appointed a three-man commission to look into relations between trie community and the university. The two riots created a big stir in the community and among city and university officials. Yale President A. Whitney Gris wold called it "hnorishncss" on the part of the students. He placed undergraduates on general proba tion. The students called police brutal in their methods of putting down the riots.
