Around Hollywood Sy ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent mi Hollywood (U.R The life of a mind-reader is just one trial after another, the "Great" Dun- P5&w'.;1 ninger sighed "When I go into hotels I'm supposed to know what room is re served for me, and waiters in r e s t a u rants Aline Mosbr need a menu," the mentalist said morosely. We were sitting in the Brown Derby restaurant across the street from the Huntington Hartford Theater where Dun ninge: , on leave from his ABC TV program in New York, was on tour. For his stage show he per forms such feats as telling what is in a locked safe furnished by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. On TV he "reads the minds" of members of his studio audience and of his guest celeb rities. But behind scenes Dunniger is dogged by his strange occupa tion. Dogged by Occupation "One woman told me she cer tainly would not like to be my wife," he said. "People beg me to forecast the stock market. I am not a fortune teller! I can not tell what will happen to morrow,' nobody can." Dunninger shook his head sadly and continued, "At Las Vegas I was reading ihe mind of a blackjack dealer so they asked me to move on. And in one city a reporter asked to in terview me by thinking the questions in silence instead of speaking them! Of course, I re fused!" Dunninger, a balding man with piercing brown eyes, a re sounding voice and the air of a master showman, paused to autograph a menu for a female fan. He always uses a heavy brown pencil "So my signature will show up the others , and I noticed he scribbled grandly across her hard-earned auto graph of Chill Wills. Success Not Easy "Some people have to fight their way up and I am among them, he continued. I am con stantly fighting everyone. They accuse me of magic, collusion. How could I have stooges with my stage show? I'd have to carry 300 of them with me from city to ciy. I offer $10,000 tp anybody who can prove I have an accomplice." Dunninger fixed a brown eye on me and announced he usually doesn't read reporters' minds but he'd try mine. He told me to think of four number digits. After waiting testily for the people in the next booth to quiet down, he scribbled on a piece of paffer. It was the right digits 3434. ik ' fpv -:: '-' fj ' f&Kv -?f 3 & i i I "VIA Friday.

As a matter of fact, she has been supplementing the learn ing she got from an' "old pro" with a little book-learning. No Knitting One of the chapters which fascinated our young, lady was titled Sportsmanlike Driving, it had to do with things like paying attentidn to driving in stead of knitting. "Daddy," she told me the other evening,, "it says here a person who cannot control his own attention jshouldn't .be be-1 hind a wheel."; There are a lot of 'distractions on the road. A radio program, for example, might turn the head of a young or. old driver from the business at hand. There may be a bee or'a asp biting at the leg of a lady driwr A hat can blow off. A dog can bark in the back seat, j The driver with ihis car or her mind on the work at hand is supposed to ignore all of these minor things ijn life and grip the wheel and steer a straight course. A friend of mine, a sports writer, once was on a trip and flipped his car radio to a prize fight. Lost a Round It was exciting and he was driving along and all of a sud den the M. C. announced the decision. A close one. My friend lost himself in the excitment, took his lunch hooks off the wheel and applauded some thing no right-thinking sports writer ever would at the press table. The poor clown wound up wrapped around a fence post with a mess of broken ribs, a caved-in skull, and other minor injuries. He hasn't been the same, since. ,A great many high schools, vith the help of local car deal ers, have gone in for driver training.

'Last Chance Guch' Comes to Quiet End Helena, Mont. (U.R) Hel ena's main street, called "Last Chance Gulch" in the lusty, bois terous days of old, has come to a rather quiet end. It is still the bustling main stem of Montana's capital, but police have placed a strict ban on car processions and horn tooting. . The ban was ordered and a severe crackdown threatened for those disturbing the peace after seven wedding processiens in one day "galloped the gulch," creating a bedlam of screeching horns, brakes and clanking of oddments tied to rear bumpers of bridal party vehicles.
