' Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBT Unitad PrsM Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Don Mur ray, a hot new acting find, ro mances Marilyn Monroe on the screen. But be hind the cellu loid he's a re ligious consci entious objec tor who's spending his own money to help refugees in Europe. The fans Aline Moebr who sighed over Don's tight blue jeans and cowboy drawl In "Bus Stop" would find an entirely different person In real life. In two weeks the actor and his pretty actress wife, Hope Marker Erected at Billy Mitchell's Home West Allis, Wis. (U.R) A historical marker on the site of Gen. Billy Mitchell's boyhood home has been erected by the local Rotary Club. The marker, dedicated to the man who lost his Army rank be cause of his strong views in favor of more airpower, was put up at 57th and Hayes Streets, where Mitchell's family lived In his youth. The marker says: "This tract of land was once part of the estate on which Gen eral Mitchell lived as a boy. His fearless and inquisitive personal ity as a youth carried over into his military career when he spoke out against overwhelming odds for an adequate air force. "After commanding the U. S. air forces in France during World War I, he emerged as the nation's pioneer advocate of air power. "He did not live to see the wisdom of his foresight, but all America now honors his great courage, heroism and keen sense of judgment on the future of air power." Mitchell's memory also has been honored by naming Mil waukee's airport "General Mitch ell Field." Rats Used in Study Of Dieting Habits Lawrence, Kan. (U.R) : Sci entists at the University of Kan . ias are trying to learn more about the appetites of diet-conscious Americans by watching the eating habits of rats. Dr. David G. Fleming, assist ant professor of physiology who is conducting the research, said there is a certain portion of the brain, the hypothalamus, and certain substances in the blood that affect appetite. In the K. U. study, two rats arc joined along one side from the ear to the tail, making them surgically produced Siamese twins. Using this technique, the brain factor can be separated from the circulation factor. If a nervous condition is the cause of any change in food intake, only one animal responds. If sub stances in the blood are respon sible, both animals respond be cause their circulatory systems are joined. The results so far indicate clearly that substances in the blood affect appetite, Fleming said. But the big challenge is re lating the nervous factors to the circulatory system. "If we can define the role of the hypothalamus, we think we will have made a large step," he said. Lange, leave for Italy where he'll croon western tunes in theaters where "Bus Stop" is opening. But away from the crowds they'll work on their plan to find a permanent home for several thousand persons jammed into a refugee camp near Naples. Large Tract Sought "We're going first to Geneva to meet with leaders of difier- ent church groups to discuss our program," he explained. "Hope and I want to buy a large tract of land with our own money in whatever country will accept these people. We feel they can farm the land and become self-supporting." Don, now 27, first met the refugees and became interested in their plight when he was serv ing his two years required social service work as a conscientious objector in Germany during the Korean war. He is a member of the Church of Brethren, the members of which ta"ke an official stand against war. Don has followed his pacifist belief since he was a 8-year-old in East Rockaway, Long Island. "But I found 4t difficult as an actor to have my status as a CO accepted by the government, he said. "It took about two years.1' Belief Hinders Career ' Because he was anxious to do something constructive right away he quit his successful role in "The Rose Tattoo" on Broad way and went to work for his church in Germany and Italy, He was a laborer and stone-cutter and helped refugees from behind the Iron Curtain. Murray returned to New York after 2Vi years to play in "Skin of Our Teeth." He immediately was signed by director John Lo gan to be Marilyn's co-star in "Bus Stop." Since then, in less than a year, he's won stardom, finished a second picture, Hecht Lancaster's "The Bachelor Par ty" and married Miss Lange, a woman he persistently courted for five years. Special Feature Turns Dream To Nightmares Harrisburg, Pa. (U.R) The Pennsylvania health depart ment has a special kind of "dream house," completely fur nished, with a special feature to turn the "dreams" into "nightmares." The 8x1 0-foot exhibit, a three- dimensional display prepared by the department's division of en vironmental safety, is intended for showings at fairs, carnivals and similar public gatherings. The outward beauty of the house is deceiving and the de partment has every reason to hope no one ever lives in a house like it. By pushing a series of buttons, viewers can light up 30 typical home safety hazards that the house was built to demonstrate. "Home accidents cause nearly 2,000 deaths in Pennsylvania each year," Secretary of Health Dr. Berwyn F. Mattison said. The majority of these acci dents could be avoided if people would learn and avoid the com mon household hazards that the display demonstrates. Dr. Mat tison said. Memphis, Tenn.

Through the findings of a House of Representatives inves tigating committee, the fact sheet described what it said was McKay's attempt to force a group of non-profit cooperatives to accept power from a private utility, his attempt to conceal Attorney General Brownell's findings until it was too late for the coops to take advantage of tneir rights, and his eventual surrender. The House Committee report quoted told the story of "The 45 Co-ops and The Georgia Powery Company" in pointing cut that McKay's position and tliat of the private power com panies were identical, and that it was "designed to destroy the federal power program and eliminate every vestige of op position to the establishment of a complete power monopoly in the U.S." POWER RESTORED Portland (U.PJ Sharp rises in Columbia river flows due to at a drive-in desk, a hotel driver takes over the wheel, and drives him to a floor on the hotel's ad jacent parking garage which is opposite the floor housing the j guest s room.

An announcement of decisive importance to anyone about to buy a new automobile 'The most exhaustive endurance test ever given an automobile has just been completed by two stock '57 Fords identical in every respect with cars now being offered by Ford Dealers. Under the supervision of the United States Auto Club and the Federation Internationale de Automobile, each of these two '57 Fords traveled 50,000 miles in' less than 20 days. Fond No. 1 averaged 108.16 mph for the entire run . . . Ford No. 2, ever 107 mph. These averages include time for all pit stops. In all, the '57 Fords smashed 45S national and international records. This test was run on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah . . it was (he longest left turn in history. A car, like a man, is known by its deeds, not words. That is why, we at Ford, despite our confidence in our '57 cars, let their deeds of accomplishment speak for themselves. We wanted them to prove to you in action the stamina and performance we had built into them. No words of ours could speak with equal conviction. Therefore, we engaged an independent engineering organiza tion to test our '57 cars more thoroughly than any other cars have ever been tested before in this country or abroad. We provided them with "57 Fords cars identical with those now offered by Ford Dealers. The rest we left up to them. Here is what they did: They took these cars to the Salt Flats at Bonneville, Utah. Here, twelve of the world's greatest drivers took over. In relays they drove these cars night and day for a distance greater than twice around the world ... a distance equal to 5 years of normal driving. Not in all history has a man-built machine traveled so far in so short a time by land or seal Eut this was not a test of speed but of endurance of the "Inner Ford." A trial to take the measure of Thunderbird Y-block V-8 power without qualification of any land. A test of running gear of brakes, of materials in body and chassis. Of steering and readability, yes, and comfort, tool A test, indeed, such as no cars have ever undergone, let alone successfully concluded. We feel that by their deeds, you shall know the "57 Ford cars. Surely they have told you, in decisive terms, that they are worth more when you buy . . . and when you sell! Tour Ford Dealer will gladly place at your disposal the new kind of Ford that means a new land of value for your car buying dollar the greatest the world has ever seen.
