The Idea for a scholarship at Harvard started with Nathan S. Sodekson f Brookline, then on the staff of a Boston paper. Since it was raised through ptAlic subscription, the fund has permitted more than 35 news boys "with at least one year on the strset" to attend the uni versity. Among those aided have been Dr. Samuel Levine. a noted heart specialist, is well as various "Portland (U.R) Sen. Rich ard L. Nuberger has appointed Richard H.

Tops and more meaningful Christmas" and thought other Americans might like to try it. King said he and his wife had "talked at some length" about the tragic news from Hungary and "the sufferings of many peo ple in this world as compared to the comfort and warmth of our own home." They also talked about all the money they were preparing to spend on Christmas presents for each other, for their 17-year-old daughter, Patsy, their 15-year-old son, Bill, and their own par ents. The Kings decided that it would be more in the "spirit of Christmas" if the money they might have spent on family pre sents was given instead to the Red Cross and CARE for relief of Hungarian refugees. Family Support 'I should state that this idea has been supported and sub scribed to by our children and their grandparents," King wrote. "We all feel that our gift will make for a richer and more meaningful Christmas. "I am writing this letter to you because I believe other Americans might feel the same way and, if you agree, you could give the idea publicity." It sounded like a sincere, straightforward letter. There didn't seem to be any catch to it. But a news agency has to check such things. And a little in vestigation of Harrison King disclosed that he hadn't told the whole story in his letter. Whole Story He didn't, for example, use his proper title, which is "Colonel, U.S. Army, Retired." And he didn't say that he knew what it's like to make sacrifices for a cause, as the Hungarians are doing. He didn't mention the fact that he lost his own eyesight while leading a U.S. battalion in the battle of Anzio beachhead in World War II. "Yes, he is blind," Mrs. King told a reporter who called to confirm these facts. "But he wouldn't want you to make a lot of that in the story. "You see, it's not his troubles but his blessings that he wants to share." Oregon Unemployment Increases 50 Per Cent Salem (U.R) Unemploy ment in Oregon rose 13,400, an increase of about 50 per cent, in November, the State Unemploy ment Compensation Commission has reported. The increase was smaller than that of November last year, but the total number seeking work was 1,100 above last year. IPEAI email Army Surplus Half-Tracks Used I In News Coverage j Bloomsburg, Pa. (U.R) Army surplus half-tracks have I gone into the front lines for lo cal news coverage in this quiet community previously known for coeds and carpets. The front lines for news cov erage may range from scholastic football games and band parades to floods, fires or other major disasters, because the rebuilt tracks are owned by Harry L. Magee, head of the Magee Car pet Co., and owner of the Bloomsburg radio station which bears his initials WHLM. Thus far three surplus half tracks have been elaborately re built with the most effective equipment available for their specific usage in this community, home of Bloomsburg State Tea chers college. The first track was rebuilt as a powerful fire engine capable of going anywhere at moderately high speed. The second is gear ed for hunting or general utility in the roughest terrain. Both are on call at all times for commun ity service or in disaster civ il defense. Ideal for Sports But the third, dubbed the "Giraffe," is used primarily for WHLM's news coverage with a towering second-floor deck that can hoist a third floor level. The Giraffe's elaborate equip ment, added to its mobility, boasts a complete broadcasting unit with its own generator, a triangular aerial for transmis sion, a front turret motorized for picture taking so that it swings to any position with foot button control, monitor sets beamed to the Pennsylvania State Police and civil defense, plus its own two-way radio con nection with WHLM. In news coverage trips Into disaster areas, the Giraffe car ries its own soup kitchen, refrig erated food supplies, medical supplies and a heater unit. The height of the Giraffe vir tually ruled out the need for Annie Oakleys for scholastic sports coverage because it tow ers over the field and most of the stands. Portland (U.R) Gov. Elect Robert D. Holmes has named Margaret (Peg) Clarke of Port land as his research assistant. The that If you'll just pour yourself a cup of new Instant Hills Bros. Coffee, we be lieve you'll find it's uonderjul!

TM Thursday, Daeembar 13, 19S8 Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Holly wood's veteran kings such as Humphrey Bogart and John Wayne poke fun at the new - style "method" ac tors, but one of them. Anthony Franciosa. fought back today. "They could be better ac tors," announc- Aline Mosbr ed Tony at 20 paces. "if they had taken lessons at the Actors' Studio." The New York studio has turned out such leading expon ents of the intense, realistic style of acting as Marlon Bran do, James Dean. Eva Marie Saint, Karl Maiden. Eli Wallach. i Franciosa and even the new- style Marilyn Monroe. ' To Bogart, Wayne and the others who are "movie stars" in the traditional Hollywood sense, these stage-bred, serious young actors are mumbiers, back scratchers, nose-twitchers and followers of the torn T-shirt school of acting. Talent Not Developed "Well, Bogart could have been a better actor if he'd studied at the studio," retorted Franciosa. "Bogart has much more talent than he has ever shown. Gary Cooper is the ideal movie actor a mobile kind of face. As far as Wayne is concerned, I wen't even discuss him." Franciosa has no fear of prod ding the middle-aged stars on the ladder ahead of him, for he al ready has established a big name on Broadway in "A Hatful of Rain." He alsc won a .niche in the gossip columns by being linked with his co-star In the ! play, Shelley Winters, a romance 1 he declines to talk about. I But New York-born Tony j frankly snipes at the old-time i star system in Hollywood, which he likens to selling "soap and tomato- juice." Publicity Creates Stars "Most movie stars were made , stars by publicity, through the j old publicity machine," he said. I "Studios constanly bombarded the public with their pictures. It's the same thing that sells soap and tomato juice. "Now movies are in competi tion with TV. The product has to do better. Acting has to be better. Actors who knock the Actors' Studio method are say- i ing that only out of fear and New iluminum O o first instamt coffee smells like coffee-I flavor-protecting vapor which is locked inside the jar by an innef-seal of aluminum foil that keeps taste; in, keeps air out, Hills Bros, original TASTE-L0K.
