Pushbutton World Appea rs Ready To Give Way To Mere Hand Wave
Washington (U.R) Looks as
though the pushbutton is through.
It is losing out, apparently, to
the handwave of the future.
Persons only now approach
ing middle age can easily re
member when it was predicted
that the work of the world would
all be done some day by pushing
buttons.
gfiov, however, it appears that
tt won't be necessary to get close
enough to your work even to
leave a thumbprint on it.
Will Just Wave ,
You'll just wave. One wave,
say, will turn on lights. Another
will start up automatic machines.
Another, no telling what.
An old fashioned arm-waving
politician in that world of elec

Around Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Preu Correspondent
Hollywood J.R) Portrait '
of a woman starting life over:
Gail Russell, her hands clasped
in her lap,
talked shyly
today of her
movie "come
back" that has
come the "Hol
lywood heart
story of the
year.
The beautiful
b ru n e 1 1 e is
Aline Mosby playing a west
ern heroine with Randolph 5cott
in "Seven Men From Now," a
Batjac production at Warner's
studio.
When Gail put on her old
fashioned bonnet, it was the first
time she had faced a camera in
4V4 years.
Gail during that period starred
in some real-life scenes that were
more dramtic than in the movies
a night in jail, a day weeping
in court, near death, in a sani
tarium. Shot to Stardom
The shapely actress, who shot
to. stardom in "The Uninvited"
and "Our Hearts Were Young
and Gay," married cowboy star
Guy Madison. But the marriage
was an unhappy one.
1 "I quit acting because I
wanted to make a marriage and
'6 home life," she explained to
day. "But, well, it was one of
those things ..."
After a stormy life, Gail and
the young actor separated. Then
came other headlines. She was
named in the fiery John Wayne
Esperanza Bauer' divorce suit.
She and 'Wayne denied the al
legations. Later Gail was arrest
ed on drunk driving charges. At
her trial nearly two years ago
she was fined, put on probation
and ordered to take "medical
treatment."
Treated for Hepatitis
For more than a year she was
under treatment for hepatitis.
Her lawyer later revealed she
entered the hospital in a coma
and near death.
"I was in the hospital five
' months," she said today. "I
needed a good rest, a long one."
While she was in a sanitarium
Madison divorced her because
she was too "emotionally upset"
to appear in court herself.
Last April she was in court
again when she was fined on a
hit-run charge. But today Gail
indicated the unhappiness is be
hind her.
Last month Wayne tested her
for the starring role in "Seven
Men From Now," which he is
producing. When the movie com
pany went on location to nearby
Lone Pine, a huge sign decorated
the town "Gail Russell is Back."
"It's been so long since I acted
it took a lot of grinding to get
the rust out of the' wheels," she
said. "It's wonderful to be back
at work."
Walla Walla (U.R) Sen.
Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.)
will speak before a joint session
of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce and the Inland Em
pire Waterways Association at
the IEWA's 22nd annual conven
tion in Portland Nov. 21.

These observations were
evoked by some recent solemn
predictions of things to come.
National Air Lines, of course,
was having- a little joke last
week when it forecast nonstop
spaceship trips to Mars in 14
days and tVz hours by 2034 A. D.
Not Kidding
But the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce wasn't kidding when
it got out a color film entitled
"People, Products and Progress:
1975" which predicts among
other things an automatic brain
that will park your car while you
wander away on pleasure or business.
Nor was Nation's Business
merely having fun when it
spoke in a recent article about
changing the color scheme of the
1975 home with a wave of the
hand.
You'll just stand in front of
this electronic panel and wave.
The wave, cutting across lines
of force or photoelectric beams
or something, will activate sun
dry switches which will do things
to hidden fluorescent lamps
which thereupon will bathe the
room in a new set of colors, as
bidden.
Many things, naturally, won't
even require expenditure of the
energy it takes , to flip a mitt
toward an electronic windows
in event of rain will be strictly
automatic.
Washing Waves
Some of the machines of 1975
will have no moving parts.
Clothes and dishes will be
washed by ultrasonic waves
with no churning about.
The 15 trade associations and
two industrial firms which con
tributed their predictions for
the U. S. Chamber's film ignored
gloomy statements of the Atomic
Energy Commission that nuclear
engines probably never can be
developed for cars and trucks.
In ' this filmed-in-color world
of the future splitting atoms
will energize individual elec
tric motors on the axles of ve
hicles which, will ply the high
ways at terrific speeds.
- Such speeds will be safe be
cause of electronic warning de
vices and controls no cars and
super highways with special
lanes for irucks only.
When you make a telephone
call in that time of marvels only
a quarter of a century distant
you will be able, if you wish; to
gaze upon the televised image of
the person at the other end.
If you don't like what you see,
however, you will be able to
turn the picture off. A wave of
the wrist, presumably, will do it.
Replica of Mayflower
Due to Arrive in 1956
Plymouth, Mass. (U.R) The
replica of the "Mayflower which
the English people are building
as a gesture of Anglo-American
friendship is expected to arrive
here about Labor Day, 1956.
Under tentative plans the ship
will sail from England next
fourth of July. -
The keel of the modern May
flower was laid recently in 'the
old fishing port of Brixham,
England. She will be sailed
across the Atlantic under her
own canvas.
