Hollywood U.R) The "r.sw" Shelley Winters is so stage struck that for the next two v e a r s slie J I . star in movies . only as a sum mer job. Bionde. tou-sle-haired. out spoken S h e 1 1 e y formerly was known in Hollywood as an actress who rushed in and out of adventure pictures, west erns and gossip columns and Schab's drugstore. Then she surprised the movie capital by being one of the few film stars who scored on Broad way. Shelley captured top no tices for her exceptional pre formance as a drug addict's wife in "A Hatful of Rain." Shelley has returned to Holly wood a conquering heroine, so I visited her to see if she was as "new" as billed. For one tiling, slie actually is turning down movie scripts and soing back to Broadway in Sep tember. "I'll do a movie this summer actress said. "We alreadv have a S210.000 advance sale Mari lyn Monroe invested in my play. So did Linda Christian. "I found the theater a tremen dous experience and very grat ifying. I can't have doubts about my ability now. I've had people reassuring me every night. No body can tell me now I can't act." she added firmly. Out of Shelley's 22 movies in Hollywood she is proud of only four. During those years of de velopment. "I never fell I de served to be called a star," she said. "The first time I had the feel ing of what it meant was in New York. The people stood up on opening night and applauded me. Then I felt I was entitled to be a star." Now the actress, appearing more emotionally mature and confident, is being "very wary of what movie scripts I accept now." There are many signs Shelley actually has changed from her Broadway success and six years of study at the Actors' Studio in New York. For on thing, she is happier at being accepted as I a full-fledged member of the i studio (Marilyn Monroe still is if there's time, but I definitely I an observer) than if she'd won open on Broadway in another! an Oscar.

Long Beach, Calif. !U.R A rift between two foreign beau ties stole the show at the Miss Universe Pageant today from 16 domestic girls selected as fin alists for the Miss USA title. Even when Miss USA and her four runners-up are chosen to night the atmosphere at the con test still may be uneasy because of a controversy between Sara Tal. Miss Israel, and Marina Orschel, 19, Miss Germany. The dispute erupted shortly before Tuesday night's selection of Miss U.S.A. finalists when Miss Tal refused to pose for photographs with Miss Orschel. The Israel beauty later allowed her picture to be taken with the German contestant, but only after being coaxed by contest officials. "I have nothing against Miss Germany personally," Mis Ta! explained. "It is a matter of something entirely different. If I posed with her I would be afraid to go home and face my mother." Miss Israel said her mother's family was wiped out in Poland when it was invaded by Ger many and that her mother was the only one of her whole fam ily to escape. Miss Germany commented that Miss Israel was a nice girl, and added. "I don't know what to say." "On the other hand." she con tinued, "like any German. 1 am proud of my country. It's very un fortunate." Among the finalists for the Miss U.S.A. title were these Westerners: Miss Arizona. Maija BerVul son. IS, Buckeye; Miss Oregon. Maralyn Turner. 19.
