It's a slim chance that a 64-year-old Nampa, Idaho, woman and one of Hollywood's leading movie producers ever meet. But if they should be in troduced, the two would learn they share r common interest in a 24-year-old "folks swing er" named Jimmie Rodgers. The woman is a former teacher of the "Kisses-Sweet-er-Than - Wine" boy who credits her as "more responsi ble for my success than any one "else." And Jimmie says she has every record cut by her young, good-looking for mer pupil whom she taught in his native Camas, Wash. Matter of Finances Producer Jerry Wald's in terest, however, is a matter of finances since he is respon sible indirectly for Rodgers" latest hit, "Oh, Oh, I'm Falling in Love Again." But in Wald's case the 700.000 "Oh, Oh" platters sold in less than three weeks is distressing. The movie man is interested in the unplayed, reverse side of that record, a ballad which plugs Wald's latest picture, "The Long Hot Summer." "I'm in the middle," the dark-haired singer said. ','1 want either side to sell." Many Outsell Others And with Roulette Records pushing the fast-selling "Oh, Oh" and Wald making per sonal disk jockey visits to push "Summer" this record may outsell hie two big ones. HAZEL JOHNSON nited Press Writer "Besides, even, Jerry Wald should be glad to have that many records sold." he said. "They've got to flip it over once in a while." When Jimmie's fans aren't busy spinning "Oh, Oh" and ignoring "Summer" they're probably playing his first hit which sold two million re cords, "Honeycomb," or list ening to the smooth, country style lyrics of his second re cord, "Kisses Sweater Than Wine," which to date has sold 1,300,000. Hanford Blames Chemical Reaction Richland, Wash. (IP) The Atomic Energy Commission said today a fast chemical reaction in a processing cell at the Hanford Atomic Works here Feb. 13 caused between $75,000 and $100,000 damage. The AEC said the damage appeared to be minor and at first was thought to have been caused by a broken steam line. There were no workers injured, the AEC said, nor was there any radioactive contamination. The building, seldom en tered by humaii beings, is a concrete windowless struc ture the size of a football field. It houses a cell where radioactive iodine is removed fro mgasses produced when fuel elements are dissolved. GOLD HILL X-Ray Program Set By MRS.
