r Nathan Leopold Asks Commutation; Has Offer of Job Springfield, III. W Nathan Leopold, 52, partner in the Loeb Leopold thrill-slaying of little Bobby Franks in 1924, today sought commutation of his 85 year Stateville prison term. An application was presented to the State Parole and Pardon board for forwarding to Gov. William G. Stratton. Offered Job Leopold has won the support of a former University of Chi cago classmate, who offered him a job as head of a manufacturing firm's foreign department, and Dr. J. B. Rice, who directed a study of malaria in which Leo pold took part. It was this participation that prompted ex-governor and 1956 Democratic nominee for presi dent Adlai Stevenson to shorten the original 99-year sentence to 85 years. Leopold has been a "model" prisoner. Attorney Elmer Gertz said, and has skill in foreign languages which would enable him to hold down the job of fered by Arnold Maremont.

(International) Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent o Editor's note: Marjorle Best, trous ers expert at Warner Studio, write about men's clothes in today's guest column irom Hollywood. By MARJORIE BEST Written for 'the United Press Hollywood IW Clark Gable has the kind of figure that well fitting trousers are proud to be on. I recently designed Mr. Gable's wardrobe for "Band of Angels," in which he plays a plantation owner of the Civil War period. Many people find it an un usual circumstance that a woman should design clothes for men. Since coming to Warn ers along with their purchase of United Costume Co., some years ago, I have specialized in putting male stars in buckskin britches. For years I did just that for Errol Flynn, who will never be surpassed in his adaptability to colorful period clothes. To me, he was every inch the proper male in style and figure. I've also designed costumes for Burt Lancaster, especially during his swashbuckling days when he muscled Virginia Mayo through flames and arrows, and when he romped up the masts in "The Crimson Pirate." Proper Physiques Three other male stars, with which I have worked and who have the proper physical qualifi cations for outdoor and period costumes, are Alan Ladd, Rock Hudson and Guy Madison. Other than a fundamental conservatism and an insistence on perfect fitting, the only spe cial thing I noted about Mr. Gable's taste was his affection for pearl stickpins and polka dot ascots. He likes to wear them wherever possible. Ordinarily a designer of ac tors' costumes must be excep tionally careful of neckwear. A star wearing a gaudily patterned necktie or a flamboyant bowtie is likely to attract more audi ence attention to his adams apple than to the expressions on his face. All of Mr. Gable's clothes in "Band of Angels" are basically authentic for the period. We have taken a few minor liber ties, however. Clothes Tightened For instance, this was the bag gy period for men, and in the interest of displaying Mr. Gable's fine physique, we have tightened up his clothes some what more than was usually done in the 1860s. His cufflinks and studs, incidentally, are made from antique buttons, and it's a shame they don't get any closeups. I find that in the matter of clothes, men are very much like women. They are rightfully con cerned with how they are dressed, and they invariably have something they like to point out to the designer such as, "One of my shoulders is low er than the other." I "always laugh to myself, because there is not one man or woman out of hundreds who doesn't have one shoulder out of line. In costuming stars, I always try to emphasize their best physical point. If a man has a slim waist, I dress him so that it shows off. If he has good straight legs, narrow hips or broad shoulders, I try to em phasize those points in his clothes. Stock Dividends and Splits Expected To Continue During 1957 Tuesday, July 9, 1957 MEDFOBD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor Now York (IP) Stock divid ends and stock splits, in the news during the first half of 1957, are ex pected to con- untie in qudii- tity in the sec- ond half. There were 103 stock splits in the first half and that's the most in many years for the per- Elmer Walzer iod. There will be' fewer In the second but the total may set a record, the experts anticipate. Standard & Poor's notes that stock dividends are contiuing to gain in popularity as corpora tions seek to conserve cash to finance expansion programs. The effect of a stock dividend and a stock split is the same, it is explained. However, there is a difference in accounting. Equity Unchanged Each increases the number of shares the stockholder has with out changing the percentage of his equity. In the case of a stock dividend, there is a bookkeeping operation of transferring to capital account a portion of earned surplus, leav ing unchanged the par or stated value of each share. In the case of a stock split the par or stated value is reduced to conform with the increase in shares. The usual form of the stock dividend is much smaller than Court Records MUNICIPAL COURT Michael Fredrick Wooldridge. ex cessive noise. 55. bammie Lee umbere-er. violation ot basic rule. $10.

Standard points out that in vestors o f t en prefer stock to cash dividends since there is no tax involved until the stock is sold and then the profit is treat ed as a capital gain. Such stock held for more than six months and sold produces a long term capital gam on which the max imum tax is 25 per cent. There is a disadvantage in stock dividents, too. If the com pany doesn't grow at a rate in excess of. the rise in share cap italization, the benefit of stock dividends will be nullified by dilution of the equity, Standard and Poor's notes The stock splits so far this year include a large percentage of utility companies. There was one railroad Virginian sever al banks, insurance companies, and investment companies as well as a long list of industrials The split candidates and stock dividend candidates for the remainder of the year include such issues as Allied Chemical, American Home, Eastman, Gen eral Electric, 'Firestone, Good year, Gulf Oil, National Lead, Shell Oil, Union Carbide, War- ner-Yambert, Wilcox Oil, and Freeport Sulphur. Some of these have been lively issues in recent stock market sessions.
