Character Actor O'Connell Admits
He Dated Miss Hamilton in Europe
By VERNON SCOTT
United Presi Hollywood Writer
Hollywood OP) Grayhaired
character actor Arthur O'Con
nell happily admits he squired
Sonia Hamilton, this year's Miss
England, in .Monte Carlo and
movieland and hopes he is
the man to whom Sonia has lost
her heart,
Senia, a statuesque blonde
with a roller-coaster figure, told
English newsmen this week:
"I've fallen in love with some
one in Hollywood," but refused
to name the man.
Because of her new - found
love, Sonia plans to return to
the movie capital.
"There's no way for me to
know if , I'm the lucky guy,"
O'Connell confided. "But I must
admit she seemed attracted to
me."
A homespun kind of guy in
his late 40s, bachelor O'Connell
is best remembered for his role
opposite Rosalind Russell in
"Picnic." v
M I met Sonia in Monte Carlo
and took her to her first gala,"
he said. "The party was thrown
by Princess Grace last summer
for the benefit of the Red Cross.
It was quite an affair.
"There was a sumptuous din
ner at the casino followed by
entertainment and fireworks.
After that I saw quite a bit of
Sonia. I even got her a small
( part in "The Monte Carlo Story,'
a picture I was working in at
the time.
"When she turned up out here
for the Miss Universe contest I
was delighted. We started dating
again."
Arthur admits he's no dash
ing lover-boy type, but he did
date Kathy Grant, the sprightly
brunette cutie who once was
Bing Crosby's girl friend.
He's also appeared with more
film queens than most of Holly
wood's leading men.
"I worked with Marilyn Mon
roe in 'Bus Stop, Kim Novak
in 'nic,' Shirley Jones in
'April Love,' Marlene Dietrich in
The Monte Carlo Story,' and
Judy Holiday in The Solid Gold
Cadillac,' among others," he
said.
"But I'd never thought of my
self as a romantic character. I
figure the glamour girls think
of me more as the fatherly type, i sense of humor and pals around
It gives me a good insight i with the rest of the cast and
into what makes them tick. They
aren't wearing their party man
ners or trying to impress anyone
when they talk to me.
Marilyn an Actress
"Marilyn is so intensely in
terested in her acting techniques
on a set she rarely has time for
chit-chat. It takes up all her
time. Kim, on the other hand, is
nervous and unsure of herself.
She always stays to herself.
Marlene is good company
one of the guys. She has a great
crew during a picture."
O'Connell currently is work
ing with Julie London in Universal-International's
"How Lonely
the Night." He describes her as
aloof.
Getting back to his fling with
24-year-old Sonia, O'Connell con
cluded: "If I'm the guy she's coming
back to see, you can bet we will
be dating again. She is a very
lovely girl. Placed third in the
contest, you know."
Experts Studying
Four Murder Slugs
Chicago (in Ballistics ex
perts studied four bullets taken
from the dismembered head of
Judith Mae Anderson in an ef
fort to identify the death
weapon.
The bullets were the first
solid clue in the gruesome mur
der of Judith Mae, whose but
chered body was found in two
oil drums floating in a Lake
Michigan harbor.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Trib
une offered $50,000 for infor
mation leading to the killer's ar
rest and conviction, "and the
Robert O. Lw Co., v. here the
victim's father is employed, of
fered a $1,000 reward.
Cause of Death
Dr. Victor Levine, coroner's
pathologist, said that an autopsy
showed four bullets in the girl's
head and "two of them entered
the brain and were the cause of
death."
A third bullet was imbedded
in Judith Mae's neck and a
fourth in the fleshy side of her
jaw. One bullet was spljt.
Authorities said the bullets
appeared to have come from a
.32 caliber pistol, but intensive
tests were scheduled to deter
mine markings and possibly es
tablish the exact make and
model of the death gun.
Levine refused to comment
on how long Judith Mae had
been dead before her torso was
found in an oil drum last
Thursday and her head, arms
and hands were found in anoth
er oil can Saturday. Judith Mae
disappeared the night of Aug.
16 after leaving the home of a
girl friend for her own home
about eight blocks away. ;
Coroner Walter McCarron
slated the opening of an inquest
into the murder this morning.
However, he indicated there
probably would be little new in
the way of medical findings re
ported at the session.
McCarron said a complete re
port on the post-mortem exami
nation of the body would re
quire about two weeks.
Hundreds of police pressed a
search in the victim's West Side
neighborhood seeking possible
clues and checked out hundreds
of telephone tips.

Private Pools Built
Wrong, Firm Claims
Chicago OP) Nearly 95
per cent of all private swim
ming pools are improperly built,
according to Charles Russell,
president of Water Conditioning
Products.
Russell said pool construction
is enjoying its biggest boom.
In lfo6, he said, approximately
25,000 pools were built in the
U. S., all but about 2,000 of
them privately.
More than 50,000 will be built
this year about 43,500 private
and 6,500 public.
At least 50 per cent of the
public pools are built without
the professional guidance of reg
istered architects and engineers,
Russell said.
He said reputable builders
know that the well-designed,
trouble-free pool is more than a
simple matter of digging a hole,
lining it with some material and
filling it with water.
Russell said communities
should analyze their needs care
fully and build accordingly, with
modern filtration, re-circulation
and chlorination equipment.
