for the first time in nine years, j
made her nightclub debut last .
night as the highest paid saloon
entertainer in the world. j
For $55,000 a week a record ,
in this town of skyrocketing sal-:
anes Judy sang to a capacity
of 850 cheering customers at one
of the most star-packed openings
in Las Vegas.
Only One Appearanc
Judy performed at only one i
show on opening nignt, a privi
lege never accorded any other
star. Entertainers from other ho
tels in this Broadway - on -1 he
desert, including Martha Rave.
Jimmy Durante and Sophie
Tucker, thus were able to leave
their own shows to fill the sup
per club at the New Frontier
hotel and cheer one of the last
belt-'em-across singers in show
business. Juriv. trim but still slightly
overweight in a tight-fitting
black sequinned dress, sang old
favorites such as "Come Rain or
Come Shine."
Sh was one of Hollywood's
last Las Vegas holdouts, never
having sung in a nightclub be
fore except for brief engage
ments in small clubs when she
was nine years old.
Didn't Get III
After the show at a celebra
tion party Judy confessed that
for the first time in her stage
career she did not get ill before
the opening.
After four weeks here. Judy
will take her troupe of 11-male
dancers to the Palace theater in
New York and then to the Palla
dium in London. Las Vegas crit
ics rated the show "a tremen
dous hit" for the girl who once
, Unafraid,
in Nightclub
tried to take her life in despair
over a faltering film career.
"I turned down Las Vegas of
fers for years because people
said it wasn't dignified." she
said. "But after Noel Coward
played Las Vegas, I thought
why shouldn't I?''

Gangland Murders
Seen as Possible
Start of Baffle
Chicago 'U.R Police are
checking today to determine
whether the gang-style murders
of two underworld characters
signaled the beginning of a bat
tle between rival hijacking
mobs.
Chief of Detectives Patrick J.
Deeley said there was little
doubt of the connection in the
slayings of Peter Salanardi, 44,
wanted in New York for robbery
and assault, and Joseph Restag
no. 27, awaiting trial here on hi
jacking charges.
Salanardi's body was found
early Sunday on the floor of an
abandoned auto at Carpenters
ville, 111., about 40 miles from
here. He had been shot seven
times. Stuffed in his socks was
S3.900 in large bills.
True Identity Revealed
Salanardi at first was identi
fied as Restagno who had been
missing since July 5. A finger
print check later revealed his
true identity.
California license plates found
in the car were linked to Restag
no. Then police recalled the find
ing of a bullet-riddled body
wired to a log in a canal near
here Friday. Another finger
print check identified the dead
man as Restayno, who had been
dead about two weeks.
Restagno had been charged in
connection with a hijacking of
women's clothes valued at S300,
000. Police theorize it was pos
sible Restagno was killed by
representatives of an Eastern
"mob" and that Salanardo was
murdered in revenge.
Minister To Tell Son
Eyesight Will Be Lost
Orlando, Fla. (U.R) A sor
rowing Baptist minister said he
would take his four-year-old son
for a last look at the ocean to
day, and then tell the boy he
must lose his sight.
The Rev. James M. Sibole said
he and his wife would take their
son. Mike, to New Smyrna
Beach, about 55 miles north of
here, to give the boy his last
glimpse of the sea. Then, Sibole
said, thetime will come to tell
the boy about an operation
scheduled for Wednesday which
will remove Mike's only remain
ing eye because cancer of the
retina threatens his life.
The minister said he would
try to sum up the courage to tell
the boy tonight, but indicated
he might delay breaking the
news until Wednesday morning,
just before the operation at an
Orlando sanitarium.

Nixon's Father Said
In 'Good' Condition
Fullerton. Calif. (U.R) Vice
President Richard M. Nixon's
71-year-old father, Frank Nixon,
was reported in "satisfactory"
condition today at Cottage hos
pital where he received trans
fusions for hemorrhaging stom
ach ulcers.
The elder Nixon was taken
to the hospital Monday with the
recurrent ailment, but doctors
said his condition was not

Charles Porter, Eugene attor
ney and Democratic candidate
for Congressman from Oregon's
fourth district, Sunday renewed
his charges against Congressman
Harris Ellsworth for his stand
on the housing bill.
Porter spoke at a meeting of
his Jackson county campaign
committee at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Norton in Phoenix.
"I call on Congressman Ells
worth to change his vote in the
rules committee and work to
permit the housing bill to reach
the floor of the house before ad
journment," he stated. "To my
knowledge the Oregon press
failed to report Congressman
Ellsworth recently used his po
sition on the house rules com
mittee to help bottle up the
housing bill. If it fails to reach
the floor of the house, he should
be to blame," Porter declared.
The candidate pointed to the
declining number of housing
starts and said the Oregon lum
ber industry would be directly
benefited by passage of this bill.
"Ellsworth's o b s t ructionism
and that of those who voted with
him holds up amendments of
fered in the senate to aid in the
construction of privately fi
nanced homes for elderly fam
ilies," he said. "The housing bill
not only provided for aids in
construction, but for modifica
tions in the FHA home improve
ment program to help modernize
and rehabilitate millions of ex
isting homes."
Only one of eight men regis
tered for the draft in World War
I actually became a member of
the nation's armed military forces.

Canadian Swimmer
Spans English Channel
Dover, England (U.R) Cana-'
dian swimmer Jacques Amyot of
Quebec swam the English chan
nel from France to England to
day, the first person to make
the crossing this year.
The 31-year-old French-Canadian
plunged into the cold wa
ters of the channel at Cap Gris
Nes. France at 2:38 a.m. He
crawled out of the water at
South Foreland near Dover at
3:41 p.m. after a swim of about
38 miles.
His reception was meager.
Hardly a soul was on the beach
to greet him. He immediately
returned to France on the trawl- j
er Roland Sonia, which had ac-i
companied him on the trip. '
