AROUND HOLLYWOOD By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON United Press Correspondent Hollywood, Feb. 23 UR) Think getting named for an "Os car makes any ditlerence in an a c t 0 r's life? Muscle -man Kirk Douglas says his nomi nation d 1 d n't impress a 11 y- body but him self. Douglas who'se bare torso and knowing leer leave ladies limp, snagged himself an academy nomi nation last week for "champion." The first 24 hours, he says, were like Christmas. After that nobody paid any attention to him. "I got lots of wires, some goofy, some sincere." Douelas said. "An astrologer in San Jose said he predicted it by the stars. And Jack Warner wired: ' 1 hope you win'." This was extra - flattering. Douglas says, because Mr. War- MaePhenost ner has an entry of his own in the "best actor" race: Richard Todd for "The Hasty Heart." Family Proud "But my mother and sisters are proud of me," Douglas added. "I've got six sisters, y'know. How d'ye think I learned about women, hmmmm? "And my old high school teacher in Amsterdam, N. Y., sent me a wire. So did the head water at Schraffts restaurant, where I used to tote trays. He said iny old job was always open, that after I win the 'Os car' I enn't go any farther. He's the optimistic type. Signature Sought "Plenty of persons wanted mo to endorse stuff. Nobody thought my mug'd sell anything before, but the day after I was nomi nated I got the pitch to blurb whisky, television sets, cigars, cigarettes, athletic equipment even a dramatic school." If he wins, and Douglas isn't coy about wanting to, he's go ing to send the "Oscar" to his mother in Albany, N. Y.

Goodman Let Hunt For Settlers Of Early Canada Runs Into A Snag Quebec (U.R) A Quebec city historical society which hopes to find the remains of Samuel de Champlain, the founder of Can ada, may have its plans spoiled by the march of progress. The "Societe Samuel de Cham plain" has asked the city's ad ministrative council to postpone for a few months the widening of Mountain Hill, near historical Chateau Frontcnac, It is believed the remains of Champlain and 40 other pioneers of this country were buried there. The j-ociety said it had discov ered proof that Champlain and some of the first settlers of Que bec such as Louis Herbert and Louis Joliette, who lived here between 1608 and 1650, had been buried on the land the city wants to use to widen the steep, nar row and winding hill. Views Differ The members of the society said they had asked Morris Bish op of Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y., an expert on the life of Champlain, to come here this spring to help them in their search for the remains of the founder of Quebec and Canada. But the city fathers did not look at it the same way. They said they would consider the re quest. Well-informed sources at city hall doubted, however, that the city's program of widening Mountain Hill would be post poned. They said there had been no real evidence that the remains of Champlain were still there and that even if they were, who would know whether they really belonged to Champlain, Hebert, Joliette or someone else?

Ed Nave, past president of the club, reviewed the history of the project! recalling that the pledge to f u r n 1 s h athletic equipment was made in 1947. The original fund was created with the pro ceeds earned in connection with the 1947 Catfish derby. Addi tional funds were raised througli sponsorship of the 1948 Civic Crama festival and other proj ects. Purchasing of equipment was under the direction of Mike Al tobello, representing the 20-30 club, and Jones, representing the YMCA. Schedule Prepared In order to make the best use of the money available a sched ule of purchasing was prepared giving priority to those items that would make possible the greatest membership participa tion. The first purchase was vol leyball equipment that was in stalled last September. To date, equipment valued in excess of $1,100 has been secured and in stalled in the "Y" by the 20-30 club, according to Altobello. The three gymnasium pro grams now under way are bas ketball, volleyball and badmin ton, Jones reported. 'Those of us in the 'Y',' he said, "realize the most impor tant phase of our work is the athletic program for the young boys and girls. The project of the 20-30 club has made this program possible.
