Guy Mitchell No Longer Singing Blues;
Hit Record Starts Him On Way To Top
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York U.R Guy
Mitchell, almost dead broke a
year ago, no longer is singing
the blues.
"I won't kid you, last year at
this time I had really come on
hard times," said Mitchell as he
dived into a whopping salad of
tuna fish, cottage cheese and
mixed greens.
"Bookings? They were awful.
I had a real slump there. It was
rotten. And I had come out of
a law suit almost broke it real
ly drained me.
Luck Turned
"Over a period of about a
year. I had only one record you
could call even a little hit, '99
Years.' And it just made me
enough money to meet my ob
ligations." That was the picture until re
cently, continued Mitchell.
"First, last fall, I decided to
get married," he said. I had just 1 Mitchell. "And it really took off
S2.000 in the bank, which be
lieve me, is cutting it pretty
thin for an entertainer. Her
name was Else Sorensen and I
had met her in Vancouver.
"Well, I got this booking at
a hotel in Atlanta and they were
wonderful to us. Gave us a suite
with flowers and everything.
"And then things really
started breaking when this fel
low, Monte King, who works for
Columbia down there, called a
record to the attention of Mitch
Miller and myself."
The rerord was Marty Robbins
"Singing The BlueS,". a number
which was beginning to move
fast in the country field. Miller,
the bearded artists - and - reper
toire chief at Columbia Records
heard it and s-o-s'd Mitchell into
New York.

Polio Mother
Of Year Chosen
New York (U.R) The Nation
al Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis today named Mrs.
David Phillips, 33. Los Gatos,
Calif., as the "Polio Mother of
the year."
Mrs. Phillips, wife of a United
Air Lines pilot, has three chil
dren, all of whom also were
victims of the disease. Mrs. Phil
lips, who was stricken Oct. 13,
1P51, spent one year confined
to a respirator and two years
hospitalized. She was paralyzed
from the neck down, but today
is sufficiently recovered to do
some of her housework and to
garden.
The children, Eugene, 14;
Tommy, 9, and Lani Sue, 7, be
came ill the same year as their
mother, but were less seriously
affected. .
Pretty, auburn-haired Mrs.
Phillips and her family came to
New York this week as guests
of the foundation. She was hon
ored today with a lunch at the
Waldorf-Astoria, and presenta
tion of a plaque. She will act as
honorary chairman of the found
ation's annual fund raising cam
paign, the "Mothers' March on
Polio."
WORSE THAN EVER
Honolulu U.R) Robert
Owens sued a hair clinic for
55,600 Tuesday because he said
a toupee made him look "ridicu
lous." He charged that the tou
pee which the clinic sold him
looks so "unrealistic" a stranger
came up to him on the street and
said, "Take that thing off" and
that when he took it off, he
looked worse than ever "be
cause I had acquired a good tan
below the toupee."

Mrs. K. V My daughter Is
sneaky.
Sandra V. Mother is always
against me.
Mrs. K. V. I am a widow
with four children and I am do-
t ing my best to bring them up
right, but my oldest daughter is
a terrible problem. I can't seem
to manage her at all and she is
very sneaky.
Sandra is now 17 and I know
for a fact that for the past two
years she has been smoking in
secret although she made me a
promise never to smoke.
Then, she started going steady
with a boy two years ago. I
told her she must break it up
because she was much too young,
but she continued to see him
anyway. After a while, I got to
know this boy and I saw that he
was very nice and I didn't mind
Sandra's seeing him.
Then Sandra took a part-time
job. At this place she met a
man she likes and she wants to
give up this very nice boy. I
told her she is being very un
fair to Johnny, who is really
in love with her and wants to
marry her. She pays no atten
tion to me and has been going,
out secretly with this new man
about whom I know nothing. I
just don't know what to do with
her. She is so headstrong.
Sandra V. I guess my mother
is right. I'm just headstrong. It's
true about the smoking. I made
my mother a promise, but all
my friends smoke and I wanted
to try it too. I've only done it
a few times.
She's right about Johnny too.
I know I'm being unfair, but I
can't help it. When I started go
ing out with him, I had a very
good time, but now I don't en
joy it any more. He's really such
a kid. At the factory where I
have been working I met older
boys and I like them much bet
ter. The one I have been seeing
is 23 and is the nicest fellow I
have ever known.
I don't want to be sneaky, but
it seems as though my mother is '
always against me. She didn't
even want me to take the part-
time job, but now she sees that
the extra money is a big help to
all of us. My mother is very ner
vous and always thinks I'm going
to do something terrible, but I
have never gotten into any
trouble and have done nothing j
very wrong even though I j
don't always tell the truth. 1
'-
The Council: Sandra seems to
have a reasonable point. Her
mother is too nervous and has
too many fears for her welfare.
She sets too many rigid rules i
and Sandra is forced into being
"sneaky" by her need for ex
perience and independence. ,
Mrs. K. V. relied too strongly
on her rigid rule tgainst smok
ing. She should, instead, have
discussed the general problem of
smoking and its relation to
health and Sandra's general wel
fare. If she understpod the rea
sons why her mother is opposed
to smoking, Sandra would prob
ably have been much more in
clined to accept her mother's
point of view as her own.
The rule against going steady
was also too rigid. Now Mrs.
K. V. sees there was little harm
in Sandra's dating, but she
wants to hold her down to a
pattern that she now sees was
safe. Sandra has, however, quite
naturally outgrown both this
stage and her boy friend. Mrs.
K. V. should accept that as na
tural and should ask to meet her
daughter's new boy friend. In
this way she will be able to in
fluence and guide Sandra.
Sandra is basically neither
headstrong nor sneaky. She's
just a normal .girl growing up
and her mother should view each
stage with interest rather than
alarm. If she knows she can ex
pect friendly interest from her
mother, Sandra will begin to tell
the truth.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB
fMr. Powerhouse' Man To Watch
In Britain's New Government
London U.R) The man to ! atomic eapactiy. The $2 billion
watch in Britain's new govern
ment is "Lord Powerhouse." His
mission is revolution.
His orders are to pilot Britain
full-speed into the atomic age so
this island will no longer depend
so heavily on the Suez Canal
and Middle Eastern oil. It is an
urgent race for survival.
Foreign policy, defense policy,
trade policy in fact, Britain's
whole future are wrapped up
in the mission of Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan assigned to
his new minister of power. "
Going Business
His name is Sir Percy Mills.
It will change soon. He had to
be appointed to the House of
Lords to enter the cabinet. But
before he could choose his new
title, Britons dubbed him, "Lord
Powerhouse."
When Macmillan called him to
the cabinet, Mills, a square
jawed engineering tycoon, was
on his. way at 6 a jn. the next day
ana at work before eight.
Atomic power already is a
going business in Britain. The
world's first full-scale uranium
powered electric power plant
started pushing kilowatts into
the national electricity system
last October. It is pronounced a
success. .
But with Middle East oil
doubtful and America literally
shipping dollar-costly coals to
Newcastle to bolster ' Britain's
sagging output the country needs
all the power plants it can build.
Government sources say Mills'
first move will be the announce
ment of new target of from 16 to
19 nuclear plants by 1965 with a
total .output of 6,000 to 7,000
megawatts compared to the
1,000-2,000 megawatts originally
hoped for. ,
One thousand megawatts alone
is a lot of electricity enough to
light a million homes. One thou
sand megawatts would provide
the power needed to light about
half the homes in Britain.
Even so, the atom plants in
1965 would produce only a frac
tion of Britain's power needs.
The demand for power eight
years hence is expected to be al
most five times the planned
expansion program will bring
British Children
To Gel Salk Vaccine
London (U.R) Thousands
of Britons were expected today
to register their children for ! meet
polio shots now that Queen El
izabeth has announced her two
children had been inoculated
with Britain's Salk-type vaccine.
Many British parents had
avoided registering their chil
dren for the shots until they
learned what the royal family
would do.
Tuesday's Buckingham palace
announcement that Prince
Charles, 8. and Princess Anne,
5, had received injections was
expected to do more than any
medical proof in convincing the
doubtful parents that their
youngsters should be given the
vaccine.
the power provided by a month's
coal digging in 1956.
Atomic Power Costlr
Over the years, atomic power'
should cost about one-third the
price of coal and oil. But it now
costs twice as much to get the
same power from an atomic sta
tion as a coal-fired one. The
atomic power plants cannot yet
be speeded up economically to
peak load periods like
sundown.
Mills has experience as board
chairman of two big engineering
firms, director of a dozen com
panies, a wartime production of
ficial and advisor to Macmillan
in Britain's big house-building
splurge in 1951. '
One of his companies helped
put up the Calder Hall Station.
Its builders expected it to be
shut down 20 per cent of the
first few months for checks, re
pairs and growing pairs. It's
been shut only half the expected
time. A burst fuel element
caused a one-day shutdown in
late November but there have
been no major hitches.
