Jobs Open in Television For Girls Willing To Make Start at Bottom of Ladder New York (U.R) There are jobs open right now for girls who want to break into TV, one network personnel director said today. The only hitch a girl shoot ing for a glamour career in TV must be willing to start at the bottom. "We have about 15 jobs for girls right no, who are willing to start as secretaries or clerk typists," said Marie McWilliams of the American Broadcasting company. "And I'd say that we usually have that many open. I'm pretty sure it's that way at the other networks, too." Miss McWilliams, a native of New York City's Staten Island who has chaperoned ABC's per sonnel department for three years, pointed out that a job in the network cellar had its ad vantages. "Usually," she said, "when a jpung girl just ,$ut of school comes in to see us, she doesn't know what she wants to do. She may know generally that she wants to be in the creative end rather than say, sales. But that's about all. "Working at a junior level job gives a girl a chance to look around and choose. She can use her secretarial job as a stepping stone to other jobs." Although this may sound like a shopworn formula. Miss Mc Williams can offer case histories at her own network to support this view. Time Out for Training Perhaps the most outstanding is Geraldine Zorbaugh, the gen eral counsel for ABC and secre tary of the corporation. She started as a secretary at the net work, took time out for legal training and then came back to work her way in to her present exalted position. Starting pay at a network, it might be pointed out, isn't very high, particularly, for a cave dweller in New York City. A new network secretary can only expect to pull down S55 to $65 a week. But, as Miss McWilliams said, some girls have hiked their status considerably after only two or three years on the job. 4 ff'fZzs - . iff Is-n-i f Sty- jMmvf , vU-.

HANNA Circuit Judge story one hears around the fam ily circle in the Burns home in Beverly Hills. What to Do There Burns sounds like any father who's faced with the prob lem: "What to do with a son who has trouble finding his niche in life. "Ronnie didn't know what he wanted to do," explained Burns in a fatherly tone as I sat with the family in their comfortable den. "For a while he was a lifesav er. Then it was surfboards. Then he built a boat in the back yard. "A lot of parents force their kids to be what they, wished they had been. I wanted Ronnie to go to college presumably be cause I didn't. He wanted him to take up law. We had no idea he wanted to be an actor. "Last summer we didn't want him on the beach for 10 weeks so we suggested he take a dra matic course at Pasadena Play house just for experience. When he called us he'd gotten the lead in "Picnic" at the school we were elated. Performance Viewed "We went to see his perform ance and Gracie said, "He wants to be an actor." Burns paused, lit his usual ci gar and continued: "He was good. So I asked him if he want ed to be on the show. We didn't want to force him to be an actor." Young Ronnie, who was sit ting in the den watching his fa ther talk, spoke up. "I was very happy to get the job. I didn't have to go back to college!" "Children," concluded father Burns, "find their natural groove. Leave them alone. They'll find what they want to do." -A 1 No. 9647 NOTICE IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR THE COUNTY OF JACKSON. In (he Matter of the Estate of JAMES STITT. Deceased.

Coos Bay Coos Bay (U.R) Fallout from a Russian atomic explosion was believed responsible today for an unusually high radioactive reading in Coos county. Byron Hansen of Bay Park discovered the radioactivity late Monday while operating his Geiger counter 10 miles south of Powers. He said he dug a hole at the spot but got no reaction. When he pulled up some of the turf and tested it he again got a high reading. Gen. John Hargrave, Oregon CD medical officer, said the reading was only about one tenth of the amount needed to get worried about. The most affected area cov ered about 10 square miles. State civil defense head quarters was sending a man to check the area, although offic ials said there was no cause for alarm. Last known atomic explosion was last week when Western of ficials said a nuclear device had been exploded in Siberia. Portlanders Search For Name for Daughter Portland U.R) Mr. and Mrs. Casper N.
