Lassie Show Great,
TV Actress Remarks
Editor's note: Vernon Scott
is on vacation. Jan Clayton,
who recently "retired" from
the "Lassie" TV shows, turns
her talents to singing.
By JAN CLAYTON
Written for United Press
Hollywood (IP) For me,
leading a dog's life has been a
vonderful experience.
So, it wasn't easy stepping out
of the "Lassie" TV series for
many reasons. Firstly, because
of the wonderful friendships I
ri.ade; also, because the public
seemed to like what we were
doing.
The show helped me a great
deal O personally, as well as
professionally. Working 'with
children and animals helped to
ease some of the hojirtajhe I ex
perienced wheii a tragic acci
dent took the lire of my 16-yeav-old
daughter, Sandra. I kept
thinking that we were giving
some pleasure to so many young
ster's her age. Most important
of all, the series kept me busy
at a time I needed most desper
rtely to be kept busy.
Professional Opportunity
Professionally, it gave me a
chance to do straight dramatk
acting for the first time in my
;ife. And therein lies a funny
twist of fate.
Before the '"Lassie" series, I
had spent considerable time on
Broadway, appearing in such
Musical comedies as "Show
boat"' and "Caiousal." But be
cause of television's great im
pact on the public, people soon
lorgot that I even sang a not.
Recently, (in fact, the president
ot a leading record company saw
me on a panel show and intro
duced himself to me later.
"Miss Clayton," he said, "you
reem to know so much about
liuric, I think you'd be great on
lecords. I'd likfi to do a session
with you."
While I was still dazed at the
impromptu offer, he said, "by
the way, have you ev;er done
ary singing?"
Change in Career
It was then that I decided o
change career plans and start
tinging again. But it was far
from easy.
I remember vividly the first
aay I worked with my accomp
anist. I was so nervous I could
not even remember the lyrics to
thf- songs I had sung nightly for
hiii.dreds of performances nn
Broadway. But it's all working
cut fine now.
Many grown-ups have asked
me if I took my role in the
Lassie" series seriously. My
answer always is yes. The series
basically was a lesson in living,
stressing the family unit. And
who could look at that wonder
lv 1 dog without a smile in his
heart?
I'm sure if I Jo end up record
.ng pop songs, people who may
have seen me on "Lassie" will
never believe it's the same Jan
Clayton. But then, neither will
I.

St. LcQis 'IP Raymond Pitts
really wasn't trying to make
like a satellite when he launch
ed himself from a ramp and
went sailingo out into space.

Nationwide Listing
Available On Jobs
Salem (IP A nation-wide list
of more than 6.500 job openings
for professional and managerial
personnel is now available at
the Portland office of the Ore
gon State Employment service,
it was announced.
Many of the jobs are for me
chanical or electrical engineers
but more than 300 different oc
cupations are on the list, em
ployment officials said.
Creswell, Ore. IP The Am
erican GI in K-jrea who fathers
and then abandons the children
rf Korean mothers can thank a
ioft-spoken Oregon farmer th-tt
those rejected youngsters have
a chance for homes and happin
ess in the United States.
But Harry Holt's biggest wor--y
today is that he can reach
and rescue only a small part of
those helpless products of an
iulf- army Holt has sacrificed
his health and the bulk of his
modest fortune bringing, to date,
434 mixed-blood orphans to ad
optive homes in the United
States.
He recently completed his sev
enth trans-Pacific flight to Port
land to Korea with a planeload
of babies and there will be many
more.
No End to Job
In a voice heavy with fatigue,
he confessed that he can see no
immediate end to the job he
created for himself. With the
Far East command of the Army
now moved to Korea, he fore
sees a mixed-blood orphan prob
lem continuing into the indefin
ite future.
On a recent flight between
Seoul and Portland Holt suffer
ed a heart attack and he now
pursues what he considers to
be his mission in life in defiance
of doctor's orders.
"The doctors get sort of fed
up with me," he said, sitting in
that part of his home that has
been transferred into a bustling
adoption agency with a staff of
clerical workers.
With only the help and en
couragement of a missionary or
ganization known as World Vis
ion, Inc., of Pasadena, Calif.,
Holt has shouldered the full
burden of his giant rescue mis
sion. Alone he battles the maze of
red tape thrown in his way by
both Korean and American au
thorities; begs, borrows and buys
Ohio Man Elected
To Head Demo Clubs
Reno, Nev. (IP Nelson Lan
c'one of Columbus, Ohio, has
been elected president of the
Young Democratic clubs of
America at the conclusion of the
group's bi-annual convention.
Lancione won the post after a
bitter four-hour fight, defeating
Jack Noles of Tonkawa, Okla.,
who had the backing of the
powerful New York and New
Jersey delegations plus a block
of southern votes.
Philip A. Burton of San Fran
cisco, a California assemblyman
and a co-favorite with Lancione
for the top post, threw his sup
port behind the victor after a
late-night "Liberal" caucus.
medical supplies for his fragile
wards; arranges their transporta-1
tion; processes adoption applica
tions from parents in this coun
try; operates the farm that finan
ces the philantropy, and is the
adoptive father of eight Korean
orphans who first inspired the
full-scale operation.
Operates Seoul Orphanage
He even built and operates a
large Seoul orphanage that acts
as a staging area for little mi
grants waiting for transport to j
the United States.
But Holt said his operation
functions smoothly and on a piti
fully small budget compared to
adoptive operations in this
country. No one gets a profit;
there are no attorneys' fees and
no adoption fee. Parents can ad
opt a Korean orphan merely by
paying the cost of transportation
from Korea. The Korean govern
ment now provides passports at
a special price to Holt.
Still preying on his mind,
however, are the children of Am
erican soldiers in other parts of
the wond. In Germany this sum
mer his inquiries were rebuffed
by authorities who said orphans
were wards of the state. Only in
Korea has he found anything
like official cooperation.
Jazz Leader Carried
In 1929 Automobile
From DuPont Family
Detroit (IP Jazz band lead
er Turk Murphy of San Francii
co, with the aid of a two truck
and extensive repairs, rolled on
toward California Saturday in a
1929 Rolls-Royce touring car.
Murphy said he got the car
from the Dupont family- in Sep
tember when he saw it on a
Dupont estate in South Carolina,
where he was playing at a pri
vate party.
The dixieland jazz artist said
he spent Sl.OOO in restoring the
auto, which has ? white top and
body and blue ferders. But when
Murphy arid bandsman Al Cong
er arrived here from New York
Wednesday morning, the car was
gulping a quart of oil every 30
milps and the windshield wipers
an-' heater were out of action.
The car was in the shop a
full day, then had to be pushed
to another garage Friday when
Murphy got ready to leave. The
7,000 pound chrome-laden Rolls
almost caved in a grease rack
at one shop.
Murphy said his next stop was
Elkhart, Ind., to pick up a tuba
at the Conn musical instrument
factory.

Has Riotous Election
Edinburgh, Scotland OP
Tramp Jimmy Miller stayed
away from his usual haunts Sat
urday to escape questioning on
one of the most riotous elections
cvpi held at Edinburgh univer
sity. Students battled for nearly
four hours Friday on the uni
versity campus while officials
counted the votes that elected
Acior James Robertson justice
rector of the college Three stu

a hospital.
The dispute was over the with
drawal of Miller as a candidate
in the election. He was nomin

boast he hasn't worked in 35
years. But he withdrew because
"people are laughing at me."
