Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY Ucfted Press CorresDondent Hollywood (U.R) Humphrey Bogart occasionally blasts the new fad for actors' names such . , as Lance Rock i and Tab so today I looked up the man who's respon sible for the movement. Agent Henry Willson is the person who has given so- Aline Mosby ciety such names as Lana, Rhonda and Race. He started to fame Rock Hudson, Tab Hunter. Lance Ful ler, Guy Madison, Rhonda Flem ing, Race Gentry and a host of other players after changing their names. "Some were embarrassed," admitted the affable Willson in his Sunset "Strip" office today. "Race Gentry has been kidded by a lot of those nonworking actors who hang around .Schwab's drugstore. He wants to change his name to John. Actors Need Attention "But I believe a new actor, unless he already is established on the stage, needs an unusual name to get him attention. A name must have flair and flash. Like Rex Reason Most of the kids who come to me have names that are just dull." Henry started his name changing with Lana Turner. He moved on to Rory Calhoun (from Francis McCarthy) and has been name-changing with abandon ever since. "Mention any of my clients or former clients in South Afri ca and they know who you're 'ATI "MHOA M3(J "03 SH3H10H3 H3AJ1 (ill ipeysiios toil II 1DtJ Xouow asodjnd-B ami sim jo ezjs AU10U003 jueig AJ3A9 apjsuj 9mo; U9lJ3pj NONNVOieay talking about," he said proudly. "Who else but Rhonda Fleming is named Rhonda? "The right name is important. Bogart would have made it in Hollywood 10 years sooner if he'd changed that 'Humphrey'," he added. Names Prompt Gags Willson's names prompt many gags around Hollywood. One lo cal pasttime is making up new actors' names: Chuck 'Wagon, Al Fresco (for an Italian actor), Hard Times, Rock Bottom and Mack Truck. . Willson smiles feebly at these gags. Once he tired of the jokes and dubbed one of his new cli ents John Smith. The agent now is launching three new players Rad Fulton (his real name, James Westmore land, was "too long"), Cain Ma son and Rena Clark. "I discovered Rena behind a bakery counter," said Willson. "She's a combination of Lana and Rita so I named her Rena. She has a contract at Warner Bros, and she's just like Lana was at 17." Warranls Served in Policemen's Deaths - Portland (U.R) SSgt.

For not only are sliced tomatoes, fresh from field or hothouse, a year round favorite; but canned toma toes, tomato puree and tomato paste are used in cooking in just about every household. Cream of tomato soup is number one among soups; tomato juice is found on just about every menu round the town; and condiments based on the flavorful, brightly colored fruit, namely ketchup, chili sauce, Worcestershire, bar becue and other meat sauces, outsell all others. , Agricultural experts through cross - breeding and controlled cultivation have been largely re sponsible for the present day firm, smooth, lovely crimson ap pearance of the tomato. Toma toes have an interesting histori cal background. When Cortez and his Spanish conquistadores invaded Mexico in 1519, they found Aztec farmers cultivating irrigated fields in which a strange plant was growing. The fruit borne by the vine-like plant was small, wrinkled and lopsid ed; but its fine flavor made it an Aztec favorite. Such was the original tomato. It is interesting to note that soon after the conquistadors in troduced ' tomatoes in Europe they fell into disrepute. Bota nists discovered the plant had some unsavory ancestors. It be longed to the night-shade family, some of whose relations were known as effective poisoning agents. However, once the toma to was proven harmless, all Europe bowed to the flavor of this lush fruit. Today modern methods of farming, marketing and process ing make fresh tomatoes and to mato products available to the American homemaker the year round.

"This idea of fighting fire with fire is not a new one," said Dr.; Joseph Sheehan. "But we believe we've uncovered a hitherto' un recognized' key point that im proves the technique." In adult group studies, he re lated, subjects were asked to ape their own stuttering style while reading, a passage. Many stut tered worse than ever while do ing this. But when men and . women used a manner of stuttering com pletely new to them, such as the bouncy speech . impediment of young stutterers or sliding ' into . words ,they improved at a fast clip in later readings. .. j "The average stutterer is caught in a vicious circle," said Dr. Sheehan. "The more he. stutters, the more he seeks to avoid the words he stutters over. "When a stutterer is forced to. stutter in his old, unpleasant way, "f ear is likely, to increase. But when he is given a new way of stuttering that is more pleas ant, his fear of the stuttering act is reduced and he can speak more freely." Gravity Gives Full Effect of Nose Drops Buffalo, N. Y.

Instead of sniffing, let. gravity do the work.. Follow the same procedure for both nostrils. You'll be surprised how much medicine you save.
