Around Hollywood Hollywood U.R) A top Hol lywood photographer said Wednesday most movie queens could never pose for nude calendars like Marilyn Mon roe did be cause they have exotic faces or un shapely f i g ures. Laurence W i 1 linger shoots more magazine covers and other com mercial photos using models clothed or otherwise than any other lenser in the cinema city. But finding a female who's adaptable all over for nude pho tos is "very, very difficult." Only a handful of movie stars could sell a calendar In their birthday suits, he said. . "A nude model has to have a sexy body but an unsexy face," he explained. "She has to look I cornfed and completely blank. ' You can't sell a face that looks exotic." , Aline Mosby Economic Studies Of Irrigation Aid To Production Set An economic study of the Sams Valley-Beagla soil conser vation district, to show the com parative potential productive ca pacity of the district with and without irrigation, has been au thorized by the district's direc tors, according to W. B. Tucker, secretary of the board. The study will concern 12,400 acres classified by the Bureau of Reclamation as farm plow land; and possible supplemental wa ter storage sources besides the Rogue river, which is too low af ter July 1 fdr complete irriga tion, according to Tucker. OKi Enlargement The board, which met Monday evening in the courthouse, has also approved enlargement of the district to include the Evans Valley area, bounded on the west by Josephine county, on the north by Douglas county, on the south by Rogue river, and on tjie east by Trail creek, the sec 1 retary added. , f ) He explained that the soil con ' servation committee of Oregon " will decide when a referendum election will be held.

In parts of Alaska, rock strewn valleys today lie bare at points where early in this century glacier ice stood hun dreds of feet thick. By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent This, he speculated, would eliminate such sultry beauties as Ava Gardner, Cyd Charisse, Rita Hayworth and Lauren Bacall. Many other movie stars curves come from courtesy padding and wires. He thinks the only cinema cuties who could work as nude models are Sally Forrest, Peggy Cummins, baby-faced French star Cecile Aubrey, Mona Free man, June Haver, Doris Day, Terry Moore, Piper Laurie and Jane Powell, "Wanda Hendrix and Janice Rule have innocent faces and beautiful bodies, too," he add ed. "They'd make fortunes a! nude models. It's the Shirley Temple type I look for the look of inexperience. Bleached Blondes No Good "I can't even use blondes with bleached hair. They look like the show girl type." Miss Monroe was a Willinger model, with her clothes on. He sold 82 photographs of her -for magazine covers, ads and bur boards. "She's not a raving beauty and has short legs, but she's the best model I ever had," he said "She had that innocent face. But now her studio make-up depart ment seems to have changed that. The fuss over the famed Mon roe calendar, he went on, was "infantile." .He knows three oth er top actresses who posed for nude calendars in their model Ing days. Not Much Demand Furthermore, he said, there Isn't much demand from calen dar companies for nude photos, anyway. "That's only about five per cent of my work," he said, "There's much more demand for babies, puppies and landscapes." But he's still anxious to find models who can pose nude at his swank Sunset Strip salon. "Nude models needn't worry about the photographer," he grinned. "When I spot a girl who looks boring, I know she'll make a good model. But it's strictly business. They're the opposite of the type I like personally.
