IF VOO REALLY WAMtIJ a ur i aira i tK-TKr A DELICIOUS DISH OF RICH MAID ICECREAM' 5 vo A wai' Western, Japanese Mayors Due for Meeting in 1953 Seattle, Wash. OJJD Mayor William F. Devin of Seattle is arranging a meeting of Japanese and western American mayors here in 1953 which he hopes will be backed financially by the IT. S. State Department He said the mayor's confer ence would be a follow-up to the one held in Tokyo last Novem ber which he attended ' with other West Coast musical lead ers. "I only hope that a mayor's conference here can match the wonderful hospitality we re ceived from' the Japanese," Devin said. "I wish I could con vey my appreciation of the re ception we enjoyed there." . Press clippings and records of the Japan conference will be sent for and forwarded to the State v Department as a sort of brief to encourage backing of the proposed 1953 convention, he explained. "Besides satisfying an eager ness of Japanese civic leaders to learn how we operate our cities, such a conference would help to encourage a mutual con fidence between the two nations, which in turn encourages trade," Mayor Devin said. In commenting on the Tokyo conference, the first of its kind ever held, Devin said he thought great strides were made in our efforts to bring practical democ racy to the Japanese. "Democracy here is strongest at the local level," Mayor Devin said, "and it was fitting , that mayors of West Coast cities most vitally interested in our rela tions with the1 Orient should ex change viewpoints, methods and experiences, with Japanese leaders."

March 14, 1152 Around Hollywood Hollywood U.R One of the magic city's favorite legends is that Lana Turner was an over- - night success. out lor e;gni months after she was discov ered in that soda fountain, the movie stu dios turned her Alina Mosby life in a maga zine article that even said her father was a gambler who was murdered. But the tale of those heartbreaking eight months when nobody wanted Lana got lost in tne printers ink. Agent Harry Willson, one of her discoverers, told the story today for the first time. "She was no quick sensation," he said. "She worked hard and had a lot. of disappointments. Told To Buy Dress "Trade paper publisher Billy Wilkerson saw her in that soda fountain and sent her to the agency where I worked. Her name was Judy Turner. She came in all decked out in her aunt's borrowed furs and jewel ry. She had "black hair. I told her to go out and buy a $6.50 navy blue dress with white col lar and cuffs that I'd seen in a store window. "After school she worked in a little lingerie shop on Holly wood Boulevard for $12.50 a week. I'd go to the principal of Hollywood school to get her excused from class. Then with her books under my -arm we'd make the rounds of the studios. Turned Down by Paramount "I took her to Paramount but they didn't see anything in her. At Fox they didn't see any spark in her personality. What they should have done was put her in a part that fit her personality until she learned how to act. That's what makes a star." Willson heard that RKO need ed dancers for "new faces." Lana insisted she could dance and "my boy friend can play the. piano for me." The boy friend turned out to be Mickey Rooney. "She didn't have any routines, and I had to send her out for a fast dancing lesson," he recalled. "She was cute and graceful, but she didn't get the part. Played in 'Star Is Born' "Everyone thinks her first movie was They Won't Forget.' Before that she did a one-day bit in 'A Star Is Born.' For her movie debut she sat around a swimming, pool in a bathing suit and got $25. "Finally director Mervyn Le roy at Warner's put her in They Won't Forget and we changed her name to Lana. All she did was walk down the street in a sweater. When she saw herself on the screen she was ember rassed. She said, that's terrible.! ADDED SATURDAY SERIAL , CARTOON SHOW Daws Oaaa lO AM.
