Comic Hypnotized
To Stop Gambling
T VERNON SCOTT
Wid Pr Correspondent
Jlolly wood (W Comedian
Tommy Noonan, an inveterate
Aarabler and horse player who
8Js for a 20-week stand in
SUb Vegas next month, has
Jtal himself hypnotized to
nk his betting instincts.
Sleepy-eyed Noonan and his
partner, Pete Marshall, invad
ed the home of Hypnotist
Xnile Franchel seeking help.
It was mid-morning and
Noonan. was in a confessing
wood.
. "I gamble on everything
ards,' pool, dice, horses," he
gambled. "Once in a while I
"Sfi a couple grand at the
races, but mostly I lose."
"He has a compassion to
loH," Marshall filled in. "He's
miserable when he wins be
cause he wishes he'd bet more
ntoney. Tommy is never more
cfteerful than when he blows
st couple of hundred bucks."
"Hmmmm." said Franchel
studiously. "Gamblers want to
lose. Their subconscious mind
figures it's a way of punish
ing themselves."
Against Gambling '
Tommy flinched. "My wife
Pocahontas Crowfoot - is
against my gambling, too," he
complained. "I'm taking her
and my two kids to Vegas
with me this trip. Maybe that
will keep me from betting."
Marshall put a consoling
arm around his partner. At
one time they were brothers-in-law.
Pete's sister is Joanne
Dru. Tommy's brother is John
Ireland. At one time Joanne
and John were Mr. and Mrs.
'TU give you an example
of my gambling," Tommy
said.
"When I came to Hollywood
in 1945 I managed to save
S3,000 from my early picture
work at RKO. I withdrew it
from the bank to buy a laun
dry business in Beverly Hills.
Everything was fine when I
stopped on my way from the
bank for a drink with my
brother, John.
"After we'd belted a few
we decided to go to Santa
Anita to play the nags. Broth
er John said I wouldn't like
the laundry business anyhow.
"The first horse I bet on
was a dog named 'Cracks.' He
was an even-money favorite,
so I bet a thousand on him
to win. He broke down right
out of the gate and walked
around the track. My next
horse, another favorite, fell
down in the middle of the
race and they sent an ambu
lance out to take care of him.
I blew $3,000 on him. I ended
up the day broke.
Dubious About Outcome
With that, Franchel led
Tommy away to another room
for the hypnosis. The hypno
tist was dubious about the ex
periment. Tommy seemed
hopeful.
They were gone an hour.
During that time Pete re
called a cross-country saga
with Tommy which they
began in a new and highly
expensive sedan.
"Every time we stopped in
a town Tommy would trade
our car for a cheaper one
using the money for gam
bling," Pete said.
"By the time we returned
to Hollywood we were driv
ing an old wreck. And to top
it off, Tommy's wife had di
vorced him and taken posses
sion of the car, leaving us on
foot."
Presently Tommy returned,
more drowsy than before.
Franchel appeared slightly
groggy himself.
"Did jt work, Buddy Boy?"
Pete asked suspiciously.
"Sure did," Tommy said.
"Ill lay you 8 to 5 I'U never
make another bet."

Quotes From the News
By UNITED PRESS
Detroit Henry Ford, II, in re-iewing current negotia
tions between Ford Motor company and the United Auto
Workers union:
"In recent years, labor unions with monopoly power have
forced labor cost increases far in excess of increases in pro
ductivity. Sharp price inflation has resulted."
Berkeley, Calif. Larry Fanning, assistant executive of
the Chicago Sun-Times, in saying newspaper must cover the
broad middle ground between magazines and TV:
"If our newspapers are to be really good enough we must
operate in a climate of continuing self-criticism; a climate
in which new ideas and experimentation are not merely
countenanced but encouraged; a climate in which we strive
always to think first of our readers and how best to get
through to them."
Houston, Tex. The Rev. Montague Cook of Moultrie.
Ga., opposing a resolution passed by the Southern Baptist
convention calling for contact with every race and nation
ality: "I do not bring up the merits of integration and segrega
tion as such. But I do not believe such a resolution should
go into the records when it is not the wish of the majority."

Reuther Suggests
Wage Scale-Down
Detroit (W United Auto
Workers President Walter P.
Reuther goes before the
union's national bargaining
councils Friday to deliver a
report on the state of auto
contract negotiations.
With a week to 10 days be
fore expiration of contracts
with General Motors, Ford
and Chrysler, Reuther was ex
pected to tell the councils the
union must scale down its ori
ginal bargaining demands.
The UAW promised that the
first official and formal state
ments of actions taken by the
UAW, General Motors, Ford
and Chrysler national coun
cils, would be made this after
noon. It said there would be "no
formal statement or press con
ference" with Reuther follow
ing his address to the joint
councils.
Reuther is scheduled to hold
a news conference Saturday
on the actions reported by the
councils Friday afternoon.
Reuther had already indi
cated the union will demand
gains on at least four issues
before signing the two-year
contracts the industry wants.
These issues are supplemental
unemployment benefits, pen
sions, job transfer protection
and skilled trades wage
boosts.
If the UAW cannot get its
minimum demands, Reuther
said it will seek to extend
present contracts on a day-by-day
basis while negotiations
continue, or work without a
contract. There is no inten
tion to strike since the auto
industry has a large supply of
unsold cars on hand.
