If Wj Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Beauti ful girls are signed for pictures because of their slender shapes, but Muriel Landers, a well-fed tour ist from New York, was rushed into pic tures Tuesday because she's a perfect 42, Twenti eth Century - Fox studio's Aline Moiby been scouring the cinema city for a caloried cutie to play 287-pound Thomas Gomez' Indian wife in "Pony Soldier." But the Hollywood dolls are too busy dieting. So when Miss Landers hap pened to visit the town and lunch with a friend in the Fox commissary, bedlam busted loose. She was, to be exact, discov ered over a piece of banana cream pie. The casting director leaped to her table and begged her to take a movie test. . Lands Leading Role The pretty brunette was whirled through the wardrobe department . . . tested in techni color . . . and signed for the leading role before her ' hefty lunch had a chance to settle. "The studio claims I'm 225 but I'm only 201. Don't make it any worse," she chuckled, all over. She's only five feet one inch tall, too, just ike two Marilyn Monroes. "When the casting director saw me he grinned as though a light had gone on," she said. "He called the director of the picture and they all were smil ing broadly. "After the test everybody around the studio looked at me and grinned and I thought may be my slip was showing. Papooses in Picture "Finally this big gentleman comes along and shouts 'How!' 1 said 'Why?' He was Thomas Gomez, very big, and I knew why they were laughing. He says wait till I see the eight chubby papooses we have in the picture." Miss five-by-five started out to be an opera singer in Chicago but ate her way out of that ca reer. So she crashed into New York television to play charac ter roles with Frank Sinatra, Ed Wynn and Jack Benny. "I kept putting on weight, in layers," she smiled. "My name isn't too well known, but any-1 By ALINE MOSBY United Prats Correspondent body with a TV set can't for get my figure." She Won't Diet She doesn't regret overeating and she'll never diet, either. "I've never had to look for jobs," she shrugged. "In New York every time I eat in a res taurant some TV producer of fers we a part. They welcome me with open arms. Not being a glamour girl hasn't hindered me. "I find audiences like me, too. After all, half the women in the audience are more like me than Lana Turner."

Science at Work New York (U.R) There are comeback stories in science ev ery bit as unusual as those in sports. One such is the story of neo mycin, the antibiotic discovered by the famed Dr. Selman Waks man in 1949. Announcement of its discovery created a stir in medical circles. Laboratory tests with animals and bacterial cultures indicated that here was as potent a weapon as ever was given medicine in its battle against human disease. In actual work with human disease victims, the new "won der" drug proved too toxic for the human body to tolerate. The ditches in the high road to scien tific progress are lined with simi lar spectacular failure. They are failures which looked vonderful By PAUL F. ELLIS United Press Science Editor in the test tube but never panned out in practice. Such hopes were short-lived Neomycin was shrugged off as another such flop by almost everyone. Scientists Carry On One group of scientists at the Upjohn company in Kalamazoo, Mich., refused to quit on neomy cin. They refined it more care fully, stepped up its purity and potency and finally developed a dosage form in which the drug, again in the laboratory, was highly effective in treating stub born pus-forming skin infections. Again the drug went out for clinical testing. This time the re sults were different.

Dr. Clarence S. Livingood, pro fessor of dermatology at the Urn versity of Texas Medical school, Galveston, noted that the drug gave a "prompt, completely sat isfactory response" in treating 264 difficult skin cases, many of whom had been treated with no success with other antibiotics be fore being given neomycin. Drug Found Useful The drug, in ointment and wet compress form, was evaluated by Dr. Roy L. Kile, of the Univer sity of Cincinnati's College of Medicine, after tests on 800 pa tients, in these words: "Neomycin was far more effec tive for most skin infections than other topical agents we have used." Subsequent reports by other investigators in skin diseases bore out the work of Drs. Livin good and Kile. The story of neomycin and its amazing comeback is not -yet over. Further research is point ing to the development of dosage forms which can be used intern ally and which may make neo mycin one of the most important of all antibiotics.
