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.

After singing in the chorus of
their "South Pacific" and "Me
and Juliet" on the stage, she was
handed the starring role opposite
Gordon MacRae in the movie
"Oklahoma!"
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.

Seattle (U.R) Johnny Cher-

gents. Everest said his office would
conduct an investigation of the
matter and make recommenda

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.

Austin, Tex. U.R) A study

University engineers, working
under a grant from the Ameri

that he referred to Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon as
"that
The 72-year-old former Demo

denial that he called Nixon a
vulgar name.
Truman Bristles
The Los Angeles Examiner
said its reporter asked Mr. Tru
man when he arrived here on
oilman Edwin W. Pauley's pri
vate plane last night" what his
reaction would be to Nixon be
coming the 1956 Republican
presidential candidate."
The newspaper said Mr. Tru
man, "bristling with indigna
tion, snapped:
"I don't event want to discuss
that ! Don't even
mention his name to me!"
The Los Angeles Times also
carried the same report of the
incident and said it would "back
the quote" attributed to the ex
president. ,
But Mr. Truman later -stated
at Pauley's home here that he
had stated only that he did not
want to discuss the vice-president.
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.

Robinson's Music
Genius Praised
Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) Band
leader Tony Pastor calls com
poser Willard Robinson the "for
gotten genius of American music
today."
Pastor thinks Robinson, of Sa
lina, Kan., will one day he "as
great as Stephen Foster.
"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."
"Those songs will live," Pastor
added. "They've just got to.
They're what everyone knows
and feels and understands."
Siskiyou Supervisors

county about $16,000. The work
would be done over a two-year

in spawning runs and to deter
mine if survival is easier there

having trouble with his extra-
long teeth and decided to do
something about it. He took him
to Dr. W. M. Hickman, his own
dentist.
After a brief diagnosis, Dr.
Hickman clipped the three . of
fending teeth, evening Skippy's
bite and improving his looks.
"Nothing to it," Dr. Hickman

well."
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.
The first car ferry is believed
to have been put into operation
in Scotland on the Firth of Forth
in 1849.

Campaign for Easier
Hog Killing Underway
Chicago (U.R) The meat in
dustry is continuing its cam
paign to make hog slaughtering
easier on the animals.
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."

pino, is accused' of the slaying
here of James R. Appelgate, 39

jail Oct. 24.
Defense Attorney John B. Fen-

widespread opinion against the
defendant which arose at the
time of the shooting of James
Appelgate and which continues
to exist, would make it extreme
