Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Shirley Jones, the movie Cinderella of the year, is a natural, unspoiled wmisin girl who s been I fit. If " 1 uif wjfh snrJ- i den fame and money, but she's made one promise to her self: "I won't change." Shirley's rise to fabulous stardom even Aline Mosby beats last year's success story of Grace Kelly. Two years ago Shirley was a singing school girl in Smithton, Pa., where her father is a brew er. Today you can see Shirley singing in her first movie the biggest in size, at least musi cal of the year, "Oklahoma." The young star also is calmly winding up her starring role in the most supercolossal musical of 1956, "Carousel," at 20th Century-Fox Studio. The Cirl Nexi Door ' Yet 21-year-old Shirley still looks and acts like the girl next door in Smithton. She's been to f.ew Hollywood parties, she knows hardly any movie stars and her name is still simply Jones. "It's not Hollywood, but the person who's at fault," she de cided today. "If a person has flreat wants and a driving am bition then he can be spoiled. "I've always wanted a career, but it's never been a driving thing. This is not a way of life to me it never will be." Shirley figures she still has her feet on the ground because "of my family I had a won derful childhood and they al ways let me make my own de cisions." "I grew up in a small town. "We lived modestly, and that's the kind of life I like. I still get homesick at times," she smiled. Shirley admits some home town folks figure Hollywood is town of artifice. But she wears hardly any make-up in her films and "they've never padded me they want me to look natural," she said, pointing to her slender figure. The blonde actress began studying singing when she was 12 and after high school took a year of drama school in Pitts burgh. Then she casually walked into the open auditions that Broadway producers Dick Rodg- ers and Oscar Hammerstein hold in New York. .Hundreds of other young beauties struggle for years be fore making the grade. But Shirley was signed on the spot by Rodgers and Hammerstein Art Seized by Russians Shown in East Germany Berlin (U.R) East Germany today exhibited 750 famed paint ings which were seized by the Russians at the end of the. war and returned last month. The paintings from the Dres den Gallery will be shown in the East Berlin National Gallery for five months while a new gallery is built in Dresden. Among the paintings is Ra phael's Sistine Madonna. tf your child catches more than one cold a winter SHE NEEDS RELIEF from suffering that DOES She needs Vicks VapoRub the proved medication that acts two ways at once.

A New Team "Carousel" unites Shirley and Gordon again, and Hollywood has dubbed them a new Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy team. Shirley was "wonderfully ex cited" when she first saw herself in "Oklahoma!" on the Todd-AO screen. The big-eyed singer shares an apartment with actress Barbara Ruick and seldom dates "because I don't have time." "I don't know many people here, anyway," she said in her sweet manner. "I met Lana Turner, though," she said eagerly. "She's always been a girlhood idol." No Radio-Aciivily Reported in Portland Portland (U.R) Reed college chemists said today that there was no abnormal radio-activity in the Portland area in the wake of Russian H-bomb test. Arthur F. Scott, head of the department, said that he and instructor Louis P. Varga made smear tests of water, leaves and- autos on the campus and found no signs of a fallout. However, Portland research chemist Jack DeMent said that Saturday's rain contained "three to five times" more radio-acti vity than normal. DeMent, who used a bismuth tube counter to check the rain, said it measured .1 of a milli- roentgen per hour. Normally, he said, it measured only .025 milli- roentgens. Cherberg Fate In Hands Of Board of Regents Seattle (U.R) Johnny Cher- berg's fate as football coach at the University of Washington to day was in the hands of Vice President H. P. (Dick) Everest and the school's Board of Re gents. Everest said his office would conduct an investigation of the matter and make recommenda tions to the regents Dec. 10. This meant that the problem of deal ing with 30 to 35 players who asked that Cherberg be fired no longer was up to the coach. Sea Water Studied as Aid To Understanding Plasma Austin, Tex. U.R) A study of sea water reactions at freez ing temperatures, designed to aid scientists working with blood plasma, is underway at the Uni versity of Texas. University engineers, working under a grant from the Ameri can Society of Refrigeration En gineers, are gathering new data on sea water, which has a con tent similar to that of the highly important plasma.

Denial Backed x Pauley, who brought Mr. Tru man here in his private plane, backed Mr. Truman's denial. "I was with him all the time," Pauley said, "and he certainly did not say such a thing." Another newsman who met the plane at nearby Lockheed Air Terminal said he had not heard Mr. Truman make such a statement. Meanwhile, Mr. Truman side stepped any outright comment on the merits of potential Dem ocratic candidates for President.

"It's got to happen," Pastor said. "But I just hope he gets a little taste of it while he's still able to enjoy it. I'd say he's in his late 60's now." Robinson, who used to con duct the "Deep River" program on radio, composed "Old Folks" and "Cottage for Sale," which Pastor called "fair hits." But Pastor said Robinson has other "wonderful songs that come right from the heart and he can't sell them. "I recorded an album of them once, but it was on a little label, no promotion,, and nothing hap pened," Pastor said. He said Robinson will sit at the piano and sing songs with titles such as "In Cotton Cor ners," "The Old Deserted Farm," "Thunder, Lightning and No Rain" and "In My Neck of the Woods."

New Auto Color Schemes Confuse Police Reports Oklahoma City (U.R) Police dispatchers here' are complain ing about the color schemes of the new automobiles. It's getting to the point where a broadcast bulletin for a stolen car sounds like' "a loud speaker at a style show," they moan. Radioman W. G. Nash explain ed that a car description now adays is a tongue-twister. "It used to be we could de scribe a stolen vehicle as black, green, blue or red," he said. "Now it's at least two-tone, and colors range from robin's egg blue and fuschia to lavender with a biege top.. What makes the situation even worse, said Nash, is that even the owner doesn't always know the color of his car. It is 1,160 mles from Duluth across the Great lakes to On tario's outlet which is in the St. Lawrence river.

Industry experts are trying to find a replacement for the mal let, used to stun pigs before the actual killing. Aled P. Davies, director of the department, of livestock of the American Meat Institute, said electric shock for stunning was seen as a possible solution. However, the meat inspection branch of the agriculture de partment ruled out the method. "The electrical stunning meth od caused pathological changes in hogs which made it impossi ble for the federal meat inspec tors to determine the true condi tion of the animals," Davies said. Davies said' the meatpacking industry is "determined to con tinue its efforts to improve of dispatching hogs, bearing in mind its humanitarian responsi bilities."
