rrired of nagging the Old Man
for that mink coat, girls? Then
step up and
m e et Sam
Manis. He auc
tions 'em off
cheap.
More than
700 fur coats a
week go on
Sam's auction
block. And
mink - hungry
h o u s e w i ves
snap 'm up but
quick.
"You never
saw anything
like it," he said. "In the past
two years I've sold around 40,000
coats this way."

Mannis, who's 37 and looks
like a young Clark Gable, says
as far as he knows he's the only
fur auctioneer in the country.
"Those gals come in there,
and they sit around as friendly
as can be," he grinned. "Say I
bring out some coats that aren't
too good. The women pass those
dogs up cold. Still friendly,
though.
No Friendly Bidding
"Then I bring out a good mink
. . . or a fine muskrat . . . and
bro-ther! You can hear a sort of
sigh go over the house. Then out
come the claws! And there's
nothin' friendly about the bid
ding from there on in."
Mannis stages his auctions all
over the city, from San Fernan
do Valley to Culver City to
Downey to Burbank. Plus a tele
vision auction three times a
week.
He sells all kinds. From
"dogs" that go for S3 to passable
fur coats for $65 on up to what
he calls "darn good mink" for
$600.
Can Undersell Anybody
"I can undersell anybody by
half," Mannis says. "Because the
way I get the coats in the first
place is just plain larceny.
"I buy 'em wholesale . . . and
usually from a manufacturer
who's about to go broke. I offer
him cash for his whole inven
tory, and he jumps at the deal.
"A little while back I got a
S64.000 shipment for $20,000.
Sure, it's a chisel. But it legal
and business is business."
With a deal like that, he
shrugs, he can afford to let the
housewives have their fur coats
cheap. He's still making enough
to drive around in a fancy Cad
illac convertible.

Divorcee Quizzed in
Death of Infant
Mexico City, June 16 Jftl.R)
A 20-year-old Greenwich, Conn.,
divorcee who "didn't know I was
pregnant," was held for question
ing today in the death of her
new-born baby which police said
was strangled by a piece of gauze.
The infant's body was found
in a wastebasket among pieces
of newspaper in the luxurious
hotel suite of Vera June Hunt,
daughter of a Connecticut busi
nessman. Miss Hunt said she did not
realize she was pregnant and "re
member very little" about the
baby's birth and death.
In a signed statement, Miss
Hunt said the child was born
unexpectedly after she took
some pills prescribed by a phy
sician for stomach pains. "I
didn't even know I was preg
nant," she said.
Fort Worth, Tex. (U.R) Fed
eral Judge T. Whitfield Davidson
blew the whistle on a man's re-
3ue.it to be excused from Jury

ketball game. Rivalry between
the two teams was red hot, the
man explained, and they picked
him as a neutral referee. Re
quest denied, said the judge.
