Havana Unaware of Sexiest
Town in World9 Reputation
By FRANCIS L. MCCARTHY
United Press Staff Correspondent
HAVANA, Cuba (UP) Maybe
we can't see the forest for the
trees, but it never dawned on us
we've been living all these years
in "The Sexiest City in the
World." r
That's what an American mag
azine (Esquire) Said about Ha
vana in an article being read
avidly and with some alarm in
bars and clubs and living rooms
.throughout the city. More than
likely it is then torn up or burned,
or hidden in the closet so the kid
dies won't see. !
"Tourists, caught for the first
time in (Havana's) deep, hot un
dercurrent think they must be los
ing their minds," the article says.
"Respectable middle aged cou
ples are effortlessly transformed
into satyrs and nymphomaniacs...
and every woman, no matter
what her age and appearance,
feels like a combination of Mari
lyn. Monroe and Marlene Diet
rich." 'This is an outrageous bit of li
bel, or it's a frank piece of jour
nalism, depending on which side
you take in the local debate the
article has touched off. ,
"I've always wondered what ft
was about Havana that made me

of ours. "Now I know." t ,

were sold a mirage for political
purposes, he declared.
The Talent project, in the Rogue
River Basin, would develop storage
to water 8,640 acres of arid land
and supplement the water supply
for an additional 9,250. The project.
authorized by Congress last
summer with cost estimated at 23
million dollars, also would include
a 16,000-kilowatt power plant.
Neuberger said Republicans fa
the political campaign last year
staged celebrations "heralding
the Talent project .
'Yet," he continued, "having
used this important project, which
has the support of Oregonians of
all political persuasions, as a
campaign device to drum up
Republican votes, the admimstra
tion has' now evidently abandoned
interest in the project as demon
strated by the fact that no funds
have been included in the budget
for construction of either irrigation
works or the power plant.
Neuberger said he and Sen,
Morse (Ind-Ore) are asking the
Interior Department to seek
project funds and "will spare no
effort to try to redeem the broken
promises which the administration
made to the people of Southern
Oregon last year."
The new senator said Oregon is.
one of the nation s fastest, growing
states and needs sound, steady
development of its resources,
adding:
"Its people should not be sub
jected to so-called political
'authorizations' of projects, which
then are cavalierly abandoned
once the campaign at the polls is
over.1
Ike Attends
Tadies Only'
Breakfast
WASHINGTON (UP) Presi
dent Eisenhower, who has been
holding stag dinners at the White
House, honored Republican wom
en Wednesday by attending a
"for ladies only" breakfast
The breakfast fare was not
quite as Sumptuous as at the din
ners 'scrambled eggs; bacon,
toasted cornbread, and coffee
but the ladies were delighted.
Mr. Eisenhower urged them to
"get down to brass tacks" at the
precinct level - to build up sup
port for his administration pro
gram. Miss Bertha Adkins, assistant
to the GOP National Committee
chairman, told reporters she has
"no doubts" that Mr. Eisenhower
will run for reelection in 1956.
She said that was her own opin
ion and she had no information
one way or the other from Mr.
Eisenhower or Mrs. Eisenhower.
The breakfast was the first in
a series of six breakfast meetings
of GOP women to be held extend
ing into the spring.
The President and his appoint
ment secretary, Thomas E. Steph
ens, were the only men present
at the breakfast
Clare Boothe Luce, U. S. Am
bassador to Italy, and Oveta Cuip
Hobby, secretary of Health, Edu
cation, and Welfare were invited
to the breakfast but were unable
to attend.
The breakfasts are the admin
istration's answer to those women
supporters who have complained
of not being invited to Mr. Eisen
hower s now famous stag dinners
at the White House.
Rex Harrisons
Deny Separation
LONDON (UP) Rex Harrison
and Lilli Palmer made short work
Wednesday of a rumor that they
have separated.
The husband-wife acting team
briskly denied the report by tele
phone from the Phoenex Theater
where they are co-starring again
in their New York hit Bell,
Book and Candle." .
"Entirely untrue," snapped
Harrison. "Goodbye."
And what had Miss Palmer to
say? "Only that you're crazy,"
said she with a lilting laugh.
"That's alL crazy. Thank you!
Goodbye!"
What has many Cubans hop
ping jnad is that the article was
written by Helen Lawrenson, the
same who some years ago cre
ated another stir in 'these lati
tudes with a story called "Latins
Are Lousy Lovers."
El Mundo, one of Cuba's lead
ing newspapers, suggested in an
editorial that it was Miss Lawren
son who was sexy, not Havana.
The editorial describes her as a
"firebrand" and said her error in
judging Havana was the same as
"misjudging Paris by Montpar
nasse or New York by its Bow
ery." The onlV way to get to the bot
tom of this, we decided, was to
do a little surveying outselves. A
scientific glance from the window
of the United Press bureau made
us lean strongly in Miss Lawren
son' favor.
Judging from the hip move
ments of the first three women
who passed, they could, indeed,
be imagining, they were Marilyn
Monroe. .
We hurried to the street for
some research in the field. The
first girl we sidled up to proved
to -be a pretty tourist from De
troit "Tell us," we asked. "Does
the Havana atmosphere make you
want to live for love?

Skid Rote Lawyer's Battle
Inspiration to
CHICAGO (UP) A distinguish
ed attorney's fight to get out of
Chicago's tawdry skid row was
giving a boost Wednesday to every
bum on the city's "mile of mis

William G. Wood, a law professor
who hit the skids of alcoholism,

Advertising
Pressure Told
In Kansas Gty
KANSAS CITY HI Four wit-
nesses testified Wednesday that
they reduced or dropped advertis
ing in ' competing media after
receiving calls from Kansas City
Star advertising solicitors.
Mrs. Shirley Rose, a publisher,
testified that she heard Emu Sees,
the Star's advertising director, tell
a client "If you have other
mediums, you don't need the Star."
The Star and Sees are on trial
in U. S. District Court on. charges
of violating antitrust laws by using
unfair practices in an" attempt' to
monopolize the dissemination of
news and advertising in the Kansas
City area.
Vincent Crimmins, who said he
handles advertising for the Country
Club Dairy, testified that he was
a regular advertiser in the Star,
About 1940, he said, he took a
large ad in the Independent
Magazine, and a Star solicitor
called to say that he was surprised
at the size of the Independent ad.
Crimmins said he subsequently
reduced the size of the ad.
Mrs. Ruth Seufert a booking
agent for concerts and- other enter
tainment testified that in 1950, , a
few days after she had taken a
full-page color ad in the Independ
ent a Star solicitor told her it
should have been in the Star. She
said she never took another full
page ad in the Independent and
later had the Independent ad
tailored down and placed in the
Star.
On cross-examinaiton she said
the Independent ad "didn't pull.
James H. Nixon, who said he
had been bringing stage shows and
other entertainment to Kansas City
for 35 . years, testified that an
agency once placed an ad in the
Kansas City (Kan.) Kansan for
him without his knowledge. He
said a Star solicitor called it to
his attention and he subsequently
told the agency not to advertise
in the Kansan. ,
Mrs. Rose testified that shejonce
attempted to sell advertisinrin one
of several journals she and her
husband published in this area to
Herbert Aaronoff, then proprietor
of Lullaby House, a children's
clothing chain.
She said that when she called
on Aaronoff in 1948 and asked him
to advertise in the Weekly High
light he called Sees on the
telephone and held the phone so
she could hear.
"You can go ahead and advertise
in the Highlight if you want to."
she quoted Sees as telling Aaronoff,
"but if you have other mediums
you don't need the Star." -

Bars Reminded of
Minimum Age for
Liquor Purchases
l PORTLAND m The Oregon
Liquor Control Commission re
ported Wednesday it had mailed
to all licensees a notice calling
attention to 21 as the minimum
ace for legal purchasers of liquor,
A married woman cannot buy
liquor legally if she is not 21.
This came up because Portland
Municipal Judge 'J. J. Murchison
recently refused to penalize an
18-year-old married woman who
had falsified her age to buy liquor.
He said it was a technical violation
because in OregoL a person who
is married is viered as having
reached his majority.
But the commission notice said,
the liquor control laws don't
authorize sale to persons who have
reached majority only to those
who are 21 years old.
The commission said it would
continue to enforce that law.

Witness Says
Nugent Upset
Escape Plans
FT; SHX, Okla. tfl A' key
prosecution witness at the general
coun-maniai ot Ma. Ambrose H.
Nugent Wednesday accused the
artilleryman of upsetting escape
plans! of three enlisted men soon
after their capture by the Com
munists in the Korean War.
The testimony came from Sgt.
Marvm- Talbert, a 35-year-old
combat infantryman from Albe
marle, N. C, and now stationed
at Ft Bragg, N. C.
The court-martial of the 44-year-
old Merrill, Wis., Army-officer
went into its third day, but Talbert
was the only witness called by the
prosecution. He underwent stren
uous cross-examination by chief
defense counsel Maj. Robert .
Hough.
Nugent is charged on 13 acounts
of collaboration with the enemy.
Lt. Col. Donald J, Manes. The
last of the charges against Nugent
was thrown out by the law officer,
Lt. Col. Donald . Manes, The
defense did succeed in amending
a charge which accused Nugent of
urging fellow prisoners "to collab
orate) and co-operate with the
enemy.
Talbert told of meeting Nugent
about two hours after their capture
by the North Koreans on July 5,
1950. He said he, two other enlisted
men he knew only as Dubois and
King, and Nugent were herded into
a small building and questioned by
Korean officers.
He said Nugent was ' the only
one to protest when the Koreans
threatened them with a gun at each
forehead. Talbert said Nugent
spoke up, saying he was a
personnel officer and could help
them. ,
"The witness then testified the
four were tied up individually and
linked together for a long march
to another village under super
vision of a guard. .
Talbert said the plan to escape
came when the guard lagged
behind about 100 yards and was
lost from view because of a curve.
Nugent complained he wasn't
able to make a run for the hills.
Talbert said, and then threatened
to call the guard if the others tried
to take him along with them.
On cross examination. Houeh
tried to show that the escape of
the four prisoners, trussed as they
were, was preposterous," but
Talbert insisted the chances were
good because it - was dark and
misty at the time.
"I met Nugent about two hours
after our capture, after he iden
tified himself to me." Talbert
related. "A little while later we
were taken to a hut and North
Korean officer walked up and
down, pressing a pistol to our
foreheads and shouting 'Sovonara'
which means something like, 'If
we kill you, O.K.?' '
King remained quiet. and the
rest of us at first said no. Then
Dubois and I said go ahead, but
Nugent broke in with No, No, me
personnel officer. Me can help
you. Me have wife and kids."
After court adjourned, attorneys
remained' to hear a recording
which the defense made while
questioning Talbert several days
ago. Information in the recording
is being put into written form for
presentation to the court
