Born Joanne Letitia Lacock in Hoffa Aid Denied by Postal Boss WASHINGTON, March 18 OP Postmaster General Summerfield today described as a "vicious lie" a charge by columnist Drew Pearson that Summerfield three years ago had a congressional in vestigation of James R. Hoffa called off for political reasons. Hoffa is a Teamsters Union vice president now charged with brib ing a staff member of the Senate racket investigating committee. "This vicious lie by Pearson is a rehash of a similar fantastic charge he made in 1954," Sum merfield said in a formal state ment. "1 categorically deny without any reservations whatsoever the statements made about me by Drew Pearson in The Washing ton Mcrry-Go-Round' column pub lished in the March 18th edition of tbe Washington Post and Times 'Herald.-'. "r Don't Know Hoffa "I do not know James, Hoffa, and I have never had any deal ings with him or concerning him. I had nothing - whatsoever to do with the probe of Hoffa and the Teamsters three years ago, as Pearson alleges. Summerfield, who has been postmaster general since Jan. 21, 1953, made public the text of let ters received by him and his aides in early 1954 from three Republi can congressmen named by Pear son in connection with his allega tion that the 1953 Hoffa investiga tion had been called off on direc tions from Summerfield. All de nied the charge. The Pearson column said the 1953 investigation was directed by Rep. Clare Hoffman of Michigan, head of the House Labor subcom mittee which included Rep. Wint Smith of Kansas, and that it was drODoed when-word. eame. dowi from the White House through House Leaders Charles A. Hal lack of Indiana to drop it. For Support Pearson said high Republicans In Michigan led by Summerfield had the investigation dropped in exchange for Teamsters support for Sen. Homer Ferguson, up for re-election. Summerfield said today he had been authorized by Ferguson, now a judge on the U.S. Court of Mili tary Appeals, to make public this comment: "This matter was never called to my attention and I had abso lutely no knowledge of any -deal to call off any investigation." The Halleck letter to Summer field in May, 1954, denied contact ing anyone about the House hear ings. - The Hoffman letter disclaimed any knowledge of any "deal." Smith wrote that the 1953 hear ings were not in fact called off but were completed with the ex ception of two witnesses the com mittee was unable to locate.

Va., Joanne got her start as a Powers model in New York, where she and her mother had moved after her father's death when Joanne was just 14. Modeling led to Broadway and Broadway, as it generally does, led to Hollywood. Once here, an agent dug up the name Dru from Joanne's family album and got her a choice role in "Abie's Irish Rose." She's been a star ever since. Joanne Is a fairly tall girl with red-browi hair and green eyes. Afflicted with what she calls the "seven-year Itch," she has been married twice, each marriage hv Inr lasted lust sevea years.' Her first was Dick Haymes, her sec end, John Ireland. She lives today In a large Westwootl house with her three children, a boy and twe girls, plays a lot f tennis, swlmi. lakes long walks, visits a gym three times a week and, when she iant doing all that, relaxes for a bit and listens to music. Joanne is no ' stranger to TV, having done "Playhouse 90" twice, "Lux Video Theater" twice, "Cli max!" and six major TV films for "Ford Theater" .and "Play house of Stars." "Adventures of a Model" will be just what the title says it is. While I haven't seen the pilot film, I've read the script and it's as funny a script as I've read in many a weary moon. -, But like every New York-trained actress, Joanne has one consum ing ambition: to g back to Broad way and do a play. It's aot an ambition she's going te achieve la a hurry, however. If "Adven tures of a Model" hits the air In the fall, Joanne Is going to find herself minus her tennis, her swimming, her walking, her gym workouts, her music and he r Broadway play. The one thing she hasn't yet learned about show bus iness It that doing a weekly TV series is like being locked la a concrete vault under an indefinite sentence. AS PREDICTED here, Jane Wy man's half-hour dramatic film series has been dropped by its sponsor and probably won't be on the air come fall. In its place, insiders feel sure, will go the new Betty While - Bin Williams com edy series, "Dale With the Angels," a show which Bill says'uean organization throughout the flatly will make Betty "one of the i nation as many of us have for biggest stars in the business." 1 1 our favorite football or baseball hope hes right. There's a girl who's long overdue for the kind of recognition she deserves. (Copyright 1957, General Futures Corp.) Nixon Given Big Welcome By Tunisians TUNIS, March 18 I About 250,000 joyous Tunisians gave Vice President Nixon the most enthusi astic welcome of his African trip today.

Tunisian police and American Secret Service men struggled to hold back thousands who con verged on "the pair when they halted their motorcade.

So today he turned down a 840,000 movie con tract. "I don't want the $40,000," he was quoted in a copyrighted story in the World-Telegram and Sun. "I don't ever, want to come back.

March IS Wl - A proposal that this Willamette valley city annex the area in which the big Weyerhaeuser Tim ber Co. properties are located won the support of .the company today. The company has successfully opposed annexation proposals in two previous elections. But if another such election Is held, the firm "will go along with the desires of the city of Spring field and residents in the areas east of town," officials said today. Weyerhaeuser provides its own sewage disposal system, fire pro tection and other services a city usually supplies. But, the officials noted, state and county health of ficials have said the only sure way to end sanitation problems is by installation of sewage collection and disposal facilities for the en tire area. The Weherhaeuser plant ac counts for about five million dol lars of the estimated 'i millions assessed valuation of the built-up areas east of Springfield's present limits. Alcorn Seeks More GOP Cheerleaders LINCOLN, Neb., March 18 (v Republican National Chairman Meade Alcorn said today the GOP needs to "develop more vocifer ous cheerleaders within the party and fewer eloquent dissidents." Seeking to assure the "dissi dents" that President Eisenhow er's "modern Republicanism" can meet the ever.-present "challenge of change" without sacrificing any of the basic party principles, Al corn said: 'Let's keep our family differ ences within the family and re member that the Democratic par ty is. our common adversary and not some other Republican." Alcorn urged "team spirit" and a "greater pride in partisanship" as the prescription for. victory in the 1958 elections. Keener Sense "I would like to see us develop a keener sense of team spirit a feeling that anything Republican is good because it is Republican," Alcorn said in a speech prepared for a dinner celebrating Nebraska Founders' Day. . .. . "I would like to see us instill as much enthusiasm into our Repub- team. Alcorn said the "self-examination which we are undergoing to day is the truest sign of the vital ity of our great party," and add ed: "Let's not discourage frank discussion about what we be lieve." Hazardous Timea But Alcorn, champion of "modern- Republicanism," -sought to quiet fears about the meaning of that term on the part of some party m e m b e f s. He said the "challenge of change" in these "fast moving and exciting and hazardous" times must be met. "But," he said, "we can meet that challenge, solve the problems of today and go forward to a more hopeful future without surrender ing in the slightest the principles upon 'which the greatness of our party has been built."

That is, her creator, Gladys Parker, of whom Mopsy is a mirror-image, came from there. She" first studied figure-drawing at Albright Art School and she had a dress-making business in Tona wanda, where her father, Wilbur C. Parker, a boat builder, and her brother, Charles J. Parker, now live. Statesman Feature Miss Parker has put herself on paper in Mopsy of the towscled hair, quirked eyebrows and trick figure. She has been added to the outstanding features in The Oregon Statesman, effective Tuesday, March 19. "I got the idea for Mopsy when the cartoonist Rube Goldberg said my. hair looked like a mop," said the artist. "That was several years ago and she has been my main interest ever since." Now when Miss Parker combs her hair, she painstakingly rump les it again to give it the Mopsy mark.

After studying art at the Traphagen School, she began a round of knocking on doors, pedd ling her pictures. Some gag sketches she Sold to magazines led her into drawing the famous flirt.
