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."

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.!

"Leroy took her to MGM. But
I spent eight hard months with
her first, and it wasn't easy when
the studios couldn't see anything
in her."
