(AP) A mysterious midnight visitor to the apartment of Doris Williams, 21, stage aetress, and film extra, also known as Doris Dore, was being sought tonight by Hollywood police to whom the ac tress told a story of having been attacked by an "ape-like" man who slashed seven or more letter "K's" on her body. The name of the man 'sought is known, according to the police, and if he is located and questioned the entire mystery may be solved. The police search for the man believed to have paid a call at Miss Williams' apartment was based on questioning of other residents of the apartment house. Slashing of the letter 'K" with a safety razor blade upon the fore head and one hand of Miss Wil liams was being investigated to day by police detectives. The ac tress with two of the wounds bandaged and the rest treated with iodine, sat in her home relat ing confusing accounts of an at tack by a member of a secret or ganization who had hounded her across the country. The attack of an unidentified man with "terrifyingly long arms" occurred in the early hours today, Miss Dore told the police when she opened her apartment door in re sponse to a knock. She thought the knock was by a friend with whom she quarreled yesterday, who had come to apologize. The man seized her, and despite her struggles held her on the bed with his knee while he carved out the initial on her forehead, chin, breast, hands and arms. When she revived she found herself splashed with blood and the man gone. Miss Dore, who played a minor role in a stage-play- here-recentryl14 apltalist- was flTe -'dy8 ia before takfng screen parts, told the detectives she had been - fol lowed from New York City to Den ver and then here by a male mem ber of a secret organization. She said two years ago in New York City where she ; was born, and where she at that time played in "Aloma of the South Seas," had signed a paper "in fan" at a party of Stage people to become a mem ber of the organization. She was wanted to obtain information con cerning members of a race to which th6 organization was op- (Oontinaed oo P(t 5.)

Not that it all wasn't good, for it was, every number on the hour's program. But when a little four year old, in all the dignity of long trousers, white shirt and tie, gets so filled with the music In his soul that he can't stand still, one has to laugh. And when the same little fellow sings "Jesus Loves Me," and "Precious Jewels," with all the fervor and flourishes of a trained choir singer, ho one can resist him. That was. little Don ald Broncushio. And the other tiny tots did equally well. Harold Stout, 6, and Adelbert Henderson, 5, sang a Japanese love song, in costume.
