BEAUTY TURNED BANDIT Beauty queen turned bandit
is the theme of an upcoming movie. It follows the pattern
of the life of Dixie Anne Dikes, shown at left after she was
crowned Miss Colorado Jaycee of 1958. At right, she is
shown when she was arrested on May 13, 1!)59, for the $131
robbery of a suburban drug store in Littleton, Colo,

Ex-Beauty Queen
Turned Bandit To
Be Theme of Movie
Canon City, Colo. -IUNI- A
beauty queen turned bandit
- that's the theme of an up
coming movie titled "The
Girl, the Gun." . .
The subject is a tall, 22-year-old
brunette serving
time for robbery in Colorado
Slate Penitentiary here. .
Two years ago, Dixie Anne
Dikes was crowned Miss Col
orado Jaycee of 1058. She
reigned over the Junior
Chamber of Commerce cele
bration at Centennial Race
Track near Denver.
Ten months later, she was
arrested for the $131 robbery
of a suburban drug store. She
has been in jail ever since.
Gailbreath Studios has ob
tained movie rights to her
story - a Cinderella tale in
reverse. Harold Robbins, fa
mous for his "Never Love a
Stranger," will direct the
film.
Dixie has been on police
records for some time. She
was arrested on assault charg
es in her home town of Pueb
lo, Colo., as a teenager, and
was listed as a runaway in
1957.
But this didn't slop her
from blazing the beauty con
test trail. She was runner-up
in the Miss Pueblo competi
tion the same year she won
the Jaycee title.
She returned to Pueblo in
Novereber, 1958, but couldn't
stay out of trouble. She got
into a fight with three police
men in a tavern once during
the fall.
Back in Denver the next
spring, Dixie needed money
"to get a new slart," an offi
cer quoted her. Friends have
said she was so poor she had
to trade empty pop bottles
for her groceries.
She staged two stickups in
two days, using the same tech
nique both times.
.' Her method was to stand
on a corner looking beautiful,
. until some man picked her up.
Then she'd ask him io stop
and wait for her while she
went in, once to a store, the
other time to a hold. The in
nocent companion thus pro
vided a linndy getaway car.
Dixie tried it at Denver's
Newhouse Hotel and got $17
from the desk clerk. Then
she tried it lit the Aurora
Pharmacy, but the druggist
pursued her and shot at the
ear five times. Dixie was cap
tured in an alley a block-and-a-half
from the store a few
minutes Inter.
T h e hot - tempered girl
knocked down a newspaper
photographer who tried to
take her picture at police
headquarters later in the day.
By that time, Dixie had
married William Gottfried.
She said the wedding was in
September, 1958, but he
claims it was in 1957, before
her beauty contest victory.
Gottfried is serving a term
In the Illinois Slate Prison for
the Criminally Insane for kid
naping a policeman.
He told the warden there
he was "hopped up on dope
when he married Dixie and
did it "more or less on a dare
from my friends."
No Firfng Pin
Dixie had a .32 caliber pis
tol with her in the Aurora
holdup, but it had no firing
pin so tlu charge against her
was reduced from aggravated
to simple robbery.
She was sentenced to the
Colorado State Reformatory
for an Indeterminate term in
July, 1959. Since the reforma.
tory has no women's quarters
she was held at Denver Coun
ty Jail.
Last December the parole
board transferred her tto the
penitentiary "to get her away
from less desirable associates
at the county jail and to pro
vide better rehabilitation facilities."
An appeal for parole was
turned down in February.
said he wants the hearings
continued "for a month or so
to look at the facts
In okaying the Southwest
Oregon Area Education Dis
trict, the board left out Jose
phine county because of op
position there and altered
other proposed boundaries.
As approved, the district
would be comprised of all of
Coos county, all of the Reeds-
port and Gardner school dis
tricts in Douglas county, the
Florence school district in
Lane county and the Port Or-
ford-Langlois school district
in Curry county.
Barring legal opposition,
the Southwest Oregon plan
will go on the November bal
lot and will be voted upon by
voters within the proposed
district.
Election of a five-member
board of directors elected at
large within the district will
also be decided.
To Make Decisions
The directors will make
such decisions as where to
physically locate the commun
ity college, and how much of
a tax levy to assess within the
district.
The levy will be based on
valuation of property within
the boundaries.
Coos Bay is considered the
most likely site for the school,
which will be a post high
school Institution on the jun
ior college level.
At the same time the board
adopted a statement of policy
relating to such districts.
It states that "a need exists
for post-high school education
in all areas of the state, and
Oregon citizens will benefit
to a greater extent if at least
some of this instruction is
offered in the territory in
which they live."
Commuting Type
The school is to be consider
ed primarily a "commuting
type of institution" at initial
formation. "Students living
ithin approximately 50 miles
can be benefited," the board
said. The plan eventually
could include branch facili
ties as needs develop and if
commuting is not feasible for
citizens in some of the far
reaching a.eas of the district.
The statement said that llie
need for post-high school edu
cation "will increase during
the immediate years beyond
the capacity of the present
facilities in Oregon."
"The citizens of any terri
tory to be included in a pro
posed area education district
should receive educational
benefits that would not other
wise be available to them or
be nvnilablc at less cost to
Ihem than if they were re
quired to travel outside the
district to secure such educa
tion."
Annexation Easy
The board noted that the
1959 law authorizing creation
of the districts makes it "rela
tively easy" lo annex ter-i-tory
to a district already
formed but another section of
the law makes it "more diffi
cult" for territory within a
district to withdraw. The
board said that in light of
this, it will "rule in favor of
deleting territory in the Initial
formation of a district if the
educational benefits to such a
territory do not appear self-evident."
