: Winters, who strives to be dig
s n'iied these days, has changed
her mind about
men she now
goes for intel

of heart is part
of the new

Personally I liked " the old
Shelley, but the new cfne has
her interesting points. And the
old version still peeps through.
"I get very bored when I
go out with young muscles,"
declared the vivacious blonde
as she prepared for wardrobe
tests for her new Warner pic
ture, "The Jagged Edge."
"The men I find attractive
now are men who are intellec
tually stimulating, who sound
mature. ,

"Many of them," she added,
"are physically attractive, too,
but their physical appearance
has nothing to do with my list,
Shelley paused to stare at her
famous face, part of her stock
in trade, in the mirror over
her dressing room table. She
touched up her make-up while
the make-up woman hovered
uselessly in the background
(Shelley knows what she wants)
and rummaged in a hat box fill
ed with odds and ends for some
jewelry (she is not super-neat).
"I'm getting old, I guess," she
continued, "but it seems to me
the most attractive thing in a
man is that he knows his job
well, be he a director, painter
or plumber. It's that assurance
that projects in a person and
makes him attractive.
"George Stevens, for exam
ple, is very professional, , and
most attractive."
This is a stroke of diplomacy
since director Stevens is casting
for his forthcoming film,
"Giant," and Shelley would
frankly give a mink coat for the
part.
"I'd put Marlon Brando on my
list of most attractive men,
too," she added. "And Prince
Phillip. When I was in England
working on 'I Am a Camera' the
Prince and I, had a conversation
about motors."
Shelley's list also Includes
film composer Franz Waxman,
Adlai Stevenson, actor-director
Charles Laughton "very poetic"
and director Nick Ray, her cur
rent escort "very fine director,
very adept at discussion on any
subject." t '
Shelley a few years ago sip
ped coffee at Schwab's drug
store and wisecracked in her
Brooklyn accent, but recently
she and Ray dined with play
wright Tennessee Williams.
"We discussed good manners
and came to the conclusion that
good manners are the essence
of democracy," the new, intel
lectual Shelley said.
I pointed out she had only two
actors on her list. What about
Robert Mitchum, whom she
often champions?
"Oh, he's too immature," she
said.
Offshore Fishing
Plan Gets Study
Salem (U.R) A nroDOsed
resolution to set up an interim
committee to study offshore fish
ing regulations was ready for
introduction in the House here
Saturday by the Fish and Game
Committee.
The interim committee would
attempt to reach an accord with
Washington, California, Canada,
and Alaska regarding fishing
practices beyond the three-mile
limit on the high seas where
thousands of young salmon are
taken annually before they can
enter coastal streams to spawn.
, Though the matter is an inter
national one involving both
Japan and Russia, the commit
tee agreed the situation was of
sufficient urgency to the state's
fishing industry to justify intro
ducing tne resolutions for further
consideration. There was no im
mediate estimate of the cost of
the interim committee.
The committee set Thursdav.
Feb. 17, for public hearing on
two controversial bills one
to outlaw f ishing derbies and
the other to set speed limits on
power boats on certain lakes.
The hearings will be held . at

PURUCKER PIANO HOUSE
son of Lord Halifax and member
of parliament, said Friday the
United States is "faced with an
absolute brick wall" in Formosa,
but would be wrong to give way.
"There is no conceivable solu
tion to the problem of Formosa
at present," he told a news con
ference in San Francisco, "but
there may come a day when
propaganda is not the main pur
pose (of the Communists) and
some sort of settlement is."
Later Wood addressed a
Commonwealth Club luncheon
as part of his British Informa
tion Service tour to urge co
operation, discuss Anglo-American
differences, and observe
American opinion.
The principal difference, he
said, is over Britain's diplomat
ic recognition of Red China
which he explained resulted
from Britain's acceptance of the
"very unpleasant fact", that the
Reds rule the China mainland.
Woods, who lost both legs in
a war-time battle near Tripoli,
said the U.S. and Britain should
not let their differences get "out
of proportion" to their vastly
greater mutual aims.
He described U.S. leadership
in the world as "absolutely indispensable."

40 Get Hospital Treatment
Forty passengers were hospit
alized or treated and released
at Alexandria and Sauk Center.
In addition, one rescue worker
required treatment for an in
jury suffered at the scene.
"The people showed no hys
teria," said Ercal Aga, part own
er of radio station KXRA at
Alexandria.
Other witnesses said the pas
sengers were "surprisingly
calm" as firemen, doctors and
others removed the injured.
Cold Blamed
The train, which left Seattle
for Chicago Wednesday night,
was carrying 190 coach and
Pullman passengers. The acci
dent came when a rail snapped,
apparently because of the severe
cold. Some cars came to rest
nearly 100 feet from the tracks.
Four were on their sides in a
snowy field and seven others
were derailed.
Passengers who stopped in the
Twin Cities early Friday said
there was a jolt and they felt as
if they were "floating" down
the embankment. They said "no
one panicked."
46 Kiwanians, Wives
At Kaoers Rehearsal
Forty-six Medford Kiwanians
and their wives were on hand
for a Friday night rehearsal at
the senior high school for the
annual Kiwanis Kapers.
The club members . and their

talent has been recruited from
both within and outside the Ki

turning in both day and night
duty, putting the show togeth
er for Randy LaFerr, director
for the same firm. LaFerr is to
arrive in town next Wednesday
and will put the finishing touch

Take-Off Theme I
Take-offs from various TV
programs provide the theme for
the Kapers arid there will be a
variety of scenes in the first act
with dance chorus routines,
songs and skits.
The show is the big activity
each year for Medford Kiwanis
club. Funds are used for surgi
cal and medical and dental as
sistance, food and clothing and
other help for needy young
sters. Tickets are on sale now at
many stores where there are Ki
wanis members. Cards in the
windows of the firms indicate
where the tickets are available.
The broken rail "curled up
like a pretzel," under the weight
of the engine an eyewitness said.
The engine rolled a quarter
mile dowl the roadbed although
it was partially derailed.

Nixon's Goodwill
Tour Said Success;
Leaves Mexico City
Mexico City (U.R) Vice
President Richard M. Nixon left
Mexico City by plane for Guate
mala Saturday on the third leg
of his month-long goodwill tour
of Central American and the
Caribbean.
Before leaving, Nixon talked
to reporters at a press conf err
ence in the U.S. Embassy. Nixon
described Mexico as politically
"mature and stable" and an eco
nomically "awakening giant."
Good Relations Important
He said that President Eisen
hower "thinks there is no more
important objective of U.S. for
eign policy than good relations
between Mexico and the United
States."
Nixon praised Mexico's Presi
dent Adolfo Ruiz Cortines as
"one of the greatest national
leaders of this age," and credited
his leadership for the political
and economic progress of this
country in recent years.
Visit Successful
Observers agreed that Nixons
three-day visit to Mexico was
highly successful. He won the
acclaim of the public and press
for his informality. His willing
ness to chat and shake hands
with anyone delighted ! and
amazed Mexicans.
Guatemala is the third stop
of Nixon's 7500-mile goodwill
tour. Cuba was his first.
On the eve of his departure,
Nixon conferred for two hours
with Mexican President Adolf
Ruiz Cortines at the U.S. Env
bassy. Details of the conversa
tions, their third, were not dis
closed.
South African Police Nab
Eight for Spreading Strike
Johannesburg, South Africa
(U.R) Police arrested eight
Negroes Saturday for trying to
spread a protest strike against
the removal of 60,000 natives
from a Johannesburg "white dis
trict" under the government seg
regation policy.
Call Said Flop
' Police Commissioner P. Grob
ler said the strike call was a
flop.
The strike was called for
Saturday when additional fam
ilies were to have been removed
from their Sophiatown settle
ment in Johannesburg to the
government-sponsored Meadow
lands project further out of town.
But the government announced
no families were being moved
Saturday and that the next mass
removal was to come next Satur
day.
50,000 To Be Moved
The evacuation plan calls for
the removal of 50,000 to 60,000
natives from Sophiatown, now
classed as a "white area," to
Meadowlands, a' native suburb.
Unofficial estimates Wednesday
said nearly a third of the natives
scheduled for removal that day
failed to show up at the govern
ment trucks sent to take them
away,
The evacuation was carried out
under protection of 2000 police
armed with machmeguns.

Augusta, Me. U.R) A
washout caused by a driving
rainstorm derailed three cars of
the six car Boston-to-Bangor ex
press Friday night and sent
them sliding down a 60 foot
embankment but all 114 persons
aboard escaped death or serious
injury in a "miracle."

Ten persons received minor
injuries in the derailment about
five miles north of Augusta sta
tion. State Civil Defense Director
Harry A. Mapes said that "only
a miracle" prevented the en
tire train from tumbling1 down
the grade into the swirling Ken
nebec river.
Many of the passengers that
were aboard the Maine Central
Railroad's "Pine Tree" express
were girls headed for Water
ville, site of the Colby college
winter carnival.
Awful Sound
Cynthia Carpenter, of D e s
Moines, Iowa, a Connecticut col
lege for women student, said:
"There was an awful sound as
we ca 2 to a jarring stop but
nobody in my car got hurt."
The derailment occurred in a
gully a mile from the nearest
road. The cars severed telephone

scene for two hours. . ,
