Around Hollywood By ALINI MOSBY United Preu Correspondent Experiments Seeking Disease-Free Plants Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) The University of California is ex perimenting with a new way to produce disease-free strawberry plants. The process, now in its exper imental stage, is to put one glass house inside another glass house to keep the tender plants warm. Prof. Stephen Wilhelm, of the department of plant pathology, now has 200 plants growing in side an electrically heated green house inside of another green house. The plants are grown for two weeks under 100-degree temper ature, Wilhelm said. The high temperature gets rid of viruses that cause heavy losses in '.3 strawberry industry. "If the small greenhouse works as well as we think it will" Wilhelm added, "the uni versity will be able to provide nurserymen with basic stocks of virus-free varieties every year." Phoney Orders Placed For Radio Shop Here Robert D. Edwards, Jackson ville, informed city police Fri day that an unknown person had placed a number of fictitious orders in the name of the United Radio Supply company, 301 South Front st., by which he is employed. He said the orders were placed after someone called him by telephone concerning a radio repair job. Edwards.' told the caller that his firm did not do repair work and that it was not the policy of United to refer repair work to any particular shop. v Following that plumbers of four different shops called at his place of business.

Hollywood (U.R) Jack Webb, the hero of Dragnet who catches the criminal but never a girl, gut ins J. 11 9 b screen kiss yesterday in the fervent hope his TV fans wouldn't mind. As Sgt. Fri day on his TV series, the big eared Webb Aline Mosby has remained the steely-eyed cop whose mind is on crime angles instead of ankles. Like the western star who's allowed to kiss only his horse, Webb's companions could only be his trusty pistol and side kick Ben Alexander. - But for Webb's first non-Friday role in five years, as a jazz musician in a Warner picture, "Pete Kelley's Blues", he was summoned to weather four siz zling love scenes with curvaceous Janet Leigh. , Lore Sequences "The fans of Mickey Spillane stories will like this picture," grinned Webb as he rested for the, big moment. "Racy, swift dialogue and a couple of pretty torrid love sequences." Only once did Webb introduce sex apeal into Dragnet. Sgt. Fri day dated a girl friend on four programs. In one Webb gave her a good-night peck and the mail man arrived with bagfuls of com plaints. "Fifty per cent of. the letters thought it was splendid but 50 per cent thought it was bad to let love creep into Dragnet," Webb continued. "In 24 minutes you can't tell a love story, anyway, so we cut it out. It's bad enough to resolve the mystery in that time." Dragnet draws about 1,500 let ters a week and most of them are, curiously, from women, de spite the loveless dialogue and Webb's emphasis on a poker-face instead of passion. "Why we get so manv letters from women is as big a mystery as some of our plots," added Webb. Enter Canary The actor, who's also directing "Pete Kelly's Blues," then walked back to his set to guide himself through his first love scene in a movie (in earlier film roles he usually played a heavy). Webb made this scene more com plicated by casting a pet canary named Fred to perch on his shoulder and then fly away when Janet threw her arms around his neck. After eight tries, the canary finally made it. "We were both so nervous," Janet said later. "This is my first adult love scene, too. I've always just had young, tender ones be fore. Jack is just great! I don't think those women who write him will be disapointed." As I left the set, a box of flowers arrived for Janet from Webb with the card, "Fred sends his love."
