Around
Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
Hollywood (U.P.) With a
14-month income tax saving
plan ended for film stars,
4 they ve found
a new way to
save money
turn produc
er. Three years
ago some stars
e s c a ped the
staggering tax
on their high
income by
Aline Mosby working
abroad for 14 tax-free months.
Then Congress plugged that le
gal loophole.
Now luminaries have decided
the only way they can take
home much of their fortune is
to turn businessmen and make
their own pictures.
Kirk Douglas, Jane Russell,
Burt Lancaster, Robert Mitch-
um, Frank Sinatra, Henry Fon
da, Betty Grable, Victor Mature
and Joan Crawford all hold star-
producer agreements.
Old Age Considered
Marilyn Monroe's celebrated
sitdown strike against 20th Century-Fox
involved her wish to
make outside pictures under her
own production company so she
can save for her old age.
Mitchum recently returned
from Mexico where he filmed
his second production, "Bandi
do," and I dropped in on his set
to see how he looked as a sedate
producer.
Mitch, however, was as ever
relaxed, joking and I-don't-give-a-hang.
Director Should Direct
"Some fellows like Kirk Doug
las put the sign 'Producer' on
their office mmmph!" snort
ed Mitchum. "Just a technical
ity. The assistant director still is
the boss.
"I'm making my own pictures
because I didn't want to just act
under a straight salary. It seems
to me almost criminal to earn
as much money and then not
keep it. You just sign your
name on the back of the check,
and hand it 'over to the govern
ment. Anyway, this independent
set-up keeps a lot of lawyers
busy," he said.
This, he concluded poetic
ally, "is the actor's last, desper
ate thrust towards some sort of
freedom."
Workshop To Start
For Footlighters
The Footlighter's, local thea
ter group, will launch its thea
ter workshop at 7:30 p.m. Wed
nesday in the St. Mary's school
activities room. The workshop,
which will be two hours, will be
held both Wednesday and Thurs
day nights.
The school activities room is
being loaned as a public service
while the Footlighter's theater
on Highway 99, South, is being
remodeled.
Mrs. Stan Zapell will conduct
the workshop with assistance
from Mrs. Edward C. Kelly,
Frank Buchter, Miss Ruth KiL
bourne, and other local people
interested in theater work.
All phases of the theater will
be available for experimenta
tion, including acting, directing,
play writing, and technical as
pects of production-

Ohio Court
Review Conviction
Of Dr. Sheppard
Columbus (U.R) The Ohio
Supreme court today agreed to
review the second degree mur
der conviction of Dr. Samuel H.
Sheppard, but rejected a plea
for a new trial on grounds of
"new evidence."
The court said it would re
view the case record and the
defense claim that Dr. Shep
pard's constitutional rights were
violated by a "circus atmos
phere" during his original trial
in Cleveland more than a year
ago.
But the state's highest court
rejected Sheppard's plea for a
new trial on the basis of "new
evidence," which Dr. Paul Kirk,
University of California crimi
nologist, claimed he had found.
Doesn't Win Release
The decision to review the
case was the first legal round
Dr. Sam had won since he was
first accused of beating his
pregnant wife Marilyn in their
house overlooking Lake Erie
July 4, 1954.
While the decision did not win
Dr. Sam's release from Ohio
penitentiary, it means the court
will review the case in detail.
The court, although it rejected
the request for a new trial to
day, still could order a new trial
after it studies and decides the
constitutional question. Or the
court may decide that Dr.
Sheppard must serve the life
sentence which was imposed by
Common Pleas court in Cleve
land. Florida Farmers
Get Some Relief
Miami, Fla. ''U.R) A gradual
warmup brought relief to South
Florida farmers today but none
to beach-loving tourists.
Florida will remain chilly
through Sunday, weathermen
predicted. The ocean at Miami
Beach was a teeth-chattering 68
degrees and a sharp northwest
wind still fanned the coastline
Farmers, plowing under more
than $10,000,000 worth of frost
shriveled crops in South Flor
ida, were cheered by news that
vegetable prices had jumped on
the New York market.
One report said that tomatoes
were bringing S12 a bushel on
the New York market, compar
ed to S4.50 a bushel farmers
were receiving south of here
last week.
Such news encouraged Dade
county growers, who managed
to save part of their crops. Those
farmers not completely wiped
out may recoup most of their
money losses.
More than 13,000 acres of to
matoes, beans, squash and other
tender crops were destroyed in
Dade county, the hardest hit
area.
fi
Process Authorify
For Loans Received
Grants Pass Authority to
process disaster " loan applica
tions for Jackson and Josephine
county farmers who suffered
flood losses has been received,
according to William N. Young
Jr., supervisor of the Farmers
Home administration here.
An established farm owner or
operator who suffered a sub
stantial loss during the Decem
ber flood is eligible for an FHA
loan if unable to obtain from
other sources credit required to
continue normal farming opera
tions, Young said. The farmer
should have reasonable pros
pects for success with assistance
of a loan.
Loans may be made for pur
chasing feed, seed, fertilizer, re
placement of equipment and
livestock, for other essential
farm and home operating ex
penses, and for replacement or
repair of buildings, fences,
drainage and irrigation systems
on individual farms. Loans will
not be granted to pay existing
debts, Young said.
Diving ducks take off by
running along the top of the

dlers spring straight out of the
