II I I .HCftAUM.ur I ii I I ii ii I SPECIAL STUDENT MATINEE TUESDAY ADM. 50e U, Msndar, April 17, 1958 ...AROUND lT VIRGINIA United tttm Hollywood, Apr. 17 :u.R) If Senator Johnson plans to investi gate every film star with a secret past he'd bet ter look up Tex Williams first thing. This cowboy croon er's been lead ing a double life for years. Practically any western fan can tell you that Tex is d o i n' all right making movies ren. Virginia KacFhertota orris, and televisions shows. But he has a. habit of sneaking off between public appearances for hours at a time. Nobodv knows where he goes or what he does. Mysterious young ladies visit his house. Tex never tells who they are. He even got caught once in a pretty blonde's bedroom. But that didn't slow him down one bit: His wife didn't even rush to tell it to the judge. It was because that prettv young blonde was three years old. And her bedroom was in a hospital for crippled children. Viiilli Victims When Tex sneaks away from reporters he's on his way to a polio ward to sing and chat with the tiny victims propped up in braces and traction splints. And those "mysterious" young ladies who call on him usually get there in wheel chairs. This Is the dark secret in Wil liams' private life. And up lo now. he wouldn't talk about it to anybody but his wife and a few close pals. "I don't even know why I'm a-doin' it now," he drawled. "I never let the newspapers print it up because I don t want any body to think I'd use these little kids for publicity." Onct Polio Patient rex is Hollywood's one-man "March of Dimes." He can talk to crippled tots in their own language. He was a polio victim himself. And that's something else he had kept secret. "But I talk about it to the kids," he said.

"Some days I sit down right after breakfast and start in," Williams said, "And plenty of times I don't quit till after mid night. There's nothing so heroic about this. Lots of stars do it. They just don't talk about it." Daily Weather Report FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: fair and mild tonight and Tuesday. Western Oregon: Increasing eloudl nes sUintght; rain Tuesday.
