'Starlet1 Business Dying
In Hollywood Industry
Hollywood - (CPD - "Starlet
is a dying word in the lexi
con of tinsel town now that
professional "cute young
things" are becoming as scarce
as All Landon buttons.
For years starlets were kept
under contract at the major
studios to pose for cheesecake
with a firecracker' on the
4th of July, a turkey at
Thanksgiving, a candy heart
on St. Valentines day. They
accompanied single stars to
premieres, in addition to fill
ing in background scenes re
quiring cuties with curves,
Sldom did they develop to
stardom. But they were a part
of Hollywood's wacky traditi
tion.
Marion Marshall was a star
let until she married director
Stanley Donen in 1952. Now,
following a separation from
Donen, she is attempting to re
establish her career as an ac

From Jerusalem:
Gale whipped sandstorms
swept across Israel from Sy
ria and Iraq over the week
end, leaving a trail of damage
and dust in their wake.
The total amount of sand
and dust transferred by the
winds amounted to an estim
ated 30 million tons about
equal to the amount of sand
evacuated to build the Suez
canal.
TJMMMMMM.
Construction of the Suez
canal was started on Nov. 17,
1859. Ten years later, on Nov.
17, 1869, the canal was opened
to traffic.
That is to say:

nature is pretty powerful.
SOUR note in the news:
Major crimes in the United
States increased an average
of 11 per 'cent in the first
nine months of this year over
the same period last year,
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
reports in Washington.
Robbery, burglary, forcible
rape and larceny led the
mounting crime wave. Rob
bery increased 18 per cent,
burglary 14 per cent, larceny
in amounts over $50, 13 per
cent and auto theft 5 per cent.
MURDER increased only 3
per cent and aggravated as
sault only 2 per cent. The big
increase, please note, has been
in crimes involving the desire
to GET SOMETHING FOR
NOTHING.
YITHY this increase?
" Nobody KNOWS. But
It could be that a time-worn
proverb holds a key to the
mystery. The proverb goes:
"As the twig is bent, the
tree's inclined."
Maybe, in these days, there
isn't enough bending of the
twigs in the right direction.
rpHE old proverb, incidental-
ly. was rendered into verse
by Alexander Pope, who lived
and wrote a couple of cen
turies ago. '
In his Essay on Man, he
put it this way:
"Tis education forms the
common mind:
"Just as the twig is bent
the tree's inclined."

have a very,
very happy

to 20th Century-Fox they used
me to fill empty chairs, or
put my body in a costume to
fill in the background.
"I posed endlessly in the
studio gallery in bathing suits,
lingerie and other brief out
fits. "Sure I was given roles in
36 picture, but I never had
an opportunity to act."
The blue-eyed blonde's big
gest breaks were in- Martin
and Lewis comedies. But au
diences were too busy laugh
ing at the comedians' antics
to notice the presence of the
gal with the roller-coaster fig
ure. "Marilyn Monroe is the on
ly starlet I can think of who
became a big star," Marion
said. "The Others lasted four
or five years, until their faces
became too familiar. Then
they were dropped. Most of
them married and forgot all
about becoming movie stars.
Kids Are Smarter
"Today the yxmng kids are
smarter. They realize a star-
le contract is a trap, and they
don't fall for it.
"That's the reason for the
big gap between the Clark
Gables and Joan Crawfords
of the past and the young
crop of stars like Paul New
man and Joanne Woodward,
"Gable and Crawford were
never starlets, and neither
are the newcomers. But for
20 years inbetween pretty
faces 'were exploited instead
of talent. The studios are pay
ing for the mistake now."
Marion says cheesecake and
publicity never build stars.
"I was 'miss everybody'
during my starlet years. And
the publicity pictures showed
up in the papers, she laugh
ed. "But it didn't help my ca
reer in the slightest.
"Now the studios can't af
ford to pay a flock, of girls
every week just to have their
pictures taken. So the starlet
system is dying.
"It won't be long before
the word 'starlet' will be out
of use altogether."

push through snow-clogged

that the Sioux Indian tribe

Questionnaires
Seek Opinion on
Station for Music
Questionnaires seeking pub
lic opinion on whether an FM
broadcasting station devoted
solely to good music would re
ceive support were mailed out
to a number of . valley resi
dents this week.
The sponsors of the poll, a
group which has adopted the
name of "The Good Music
Committee," envision a small
FM broadcasting station, sup
ported by subscriptions which
would have no advertising, no
news, no sports -only good
music. ' .
The idea is patterned after
a successful subscription sta
tion now operating in the San
Francisco bay area, which
also emphasizes good music,
although it also carries other
features.
Contents of Letter
The letter accompanying
the - questionnaire says, in
part:
"This station will be built
and sustained by the listening
audience. In other words, aft
er building and operating
costs are determined, a fund
drive will be launched, and,
once the money is raised, the
station will be built. The costs
involved . . . are estimated at
$15,000 plus about that same
amount annually to operate
it . . . Contributors would
have a voice in programming.
. . . The station would be
built and operated by a non
profit corporation; with con
tributors as voting mem
bers . . ."
The questionnaire seeks in
formation about how people
now feel about the availabil
ity of music, of musical pref
erences, and of whether or
not contributions would be
forthcoming.
The committee is using
Post Office Box 1374, and
welcomes requests for addi
tional details and questionnaires.

Space Age Seen
Era Without War
Honolulu (UPD Kraft A.
Ehricke, one of this country's
leading space technologists,
predicts that - the space age
will be an era without war or
destruction.
Ehricke made this predic
tion Tuesday night in a
speech to the Western Gover
nor's Conference.
He based it on the fact that
weapons will become so de
structive that "barring insan
ity," tlo leader or government
could resort to all-out war or
even limited war.
Ehricke also said that the
space age will usher in "new
values and goals capable of
displacing the unique fear of
war and annihilation which is
the mark of our guilt and
fear-ridden era."
The development of ulti
mate weapons, he said, pro
vides a mutual feeling of
safety and security because
the feelings of everyone are
reduced to "simple self-preservation."
Ehricke is now employed
with the Astronautics Divi
sion of Convair.
