(UPI Telephoto) Movie Break Comes Fast for Student After School Play By JOE FINNIGAN UPI Hollywood Correspondent Hollywood - IUPII - -Paula Prentiss is a new Hollywood actress whose movie break came so fast that her luggage went east and she travelled west. Pretty Miss Prentiss never expected to be heading for California when the school term ended at Northwestern University last June so she shipped her luggage to Penn sylvania, where she'd planned on doing summer stock, and New York, for fall job hunt ing. But, luck was on Paula s side and she got a call to come to Hollywood for a screen test. Didn't Expect Contract "Oh, I'd been talking to Hollywood people before the term ended but I never ex nected to get a contract," she said. "A man from the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer eastern tal ent division came to North western and saw me in a play. "He liked it and asked me to visit New York and do a scene for him. I returned to ichool after the New York trip and was surprised to get a message telling me to go to Hollywood for a screen test." Paula's screen test im pressed producers of "Where the Boys Are" and they gave her a top role in the film. It's a comedy part ana ivuss : Prentiss is being given the once over as a possible suc cessor to some of filmland's lady laugh-g e 1 1 e r s who've . been inactive of late. "Oh, I don't know Just how well I'll do in comedy," she said. "I like it very much and want to be a character artress which would include comedy. "However, I'm in no posi tion to say what I'll be re ceived as. To pick parts takes time and experience in this business." Paula never did any pro fessional acting before com ing to Hollywood, full of fright over her movie prospects. "I was scared out of my wits," she said. "I was wor ried to death about my screen test. But, when I went in front of the cameras it seemed that everybody had something oIsp In do' and didn't care about me. "You know, it helps your own concentration to know that other people are con centrating on their work.' tlnbowled bv Glamour A tall girl who stands five fpt. nine inches tall, Paula has not been bowled over by Hollywood's glamour. "I haven't been here long enough to see much oi u she said. "I've only been in town a short while and know just one person. So, I haven't been involved in the social thing very much. I went to one birthday party for an actor out here and it was nice to see so many nice people being congenial. Like many of the younger actors and actresses coming to Hollywood these days, Paula has a solid educational back' ground in theatre. She did a year of post-graduate work at Northwestern and intends to continue studies in between pictures. The acting profession was the furthest thing from her mind when Paula started col lege. "I was a pre-medical stu dent when I started," she said. "But, I found out that I was not so inclined." ilgrimage of 1 Mourners Pass Earl Long's Bier Baton Rouge, La. (UPI) Louisiana's greatest pilgri mage of mourners since the death of Huey Long Wednes day filed past the ashen re mains of Huey's little brother Earl, gaudiest of an untamed breed of politicians. The wasted body in the bronze casket was that of the ate congressman-nominee, but to the thousands expect ed to view it here he will al ways be the governor or 'Uncle Earl." The three-time governor died Monday under an oxy gen tent at an Alexandria hospital, nine days after his nomination to Congress at a ime when it was believed his political career had ended, Monument Illuminated Among the hushed file of mourners in the flower-scent ed statehouse lobby, a fat woman streaming with sweat was heard to mumble to a friend, "D'ya think they'll bury him out there with his brother?" Huey's body lies under a tall white monument illumi nated at night by a spotlight atop the Capital skyscraper he built. 'They ought to," was the whispered reply. "I was never for him, but ties served so long, so long." Hilltop Grave Site In fact, Earl Kemp Long was to be buried today on a hilltop at Winnfield, on the 25th anniversary of the assas sination of Huey, "The King-fish." State polce Tuesday count ed more than 7,200 visitors to the flower-filled rotunda of the Capitol. A louble bank of wreaths pressed in from the marble walls of the vast lobby. Behind the casket was the red, white and blue bunting Earl used in his campaigns. On one side was the flag of the United States, on the oth- that of Louisiana. oMEDFORD ITribune SECT'ON C MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. 1960 PAGES 1 to 10 Atom Smashers With Super High Energies Urged Rochester, N. Y. - (Science Service)-Atom smashers hav ing super high energies can and should be built to probe more deeply into the atomic nucleus, an international group of 30 physicists meeting informally here have agreed. The five Russian scientists attending the informal meet ing reported for the first time that construction has started on a 70 billion electron volt accelerator near Moscow. When completed in a few years, this machine will be the world's most powerful, more than twice as powerful as any now operating. In Higher Energy Class The atom smashers agreed upon as "feasible and desir able" by the international group are, however, in a much higher energy class, some 300 billion electron volts. This is 100 times more powerful than either the Brookhaven Nation al Laboratory or CERN accelerators. Estimated cost for the 300 Bev machine and its required equipment is $300 million. The question of how such a machine should be financed wns not considered by the group. Informally some scien tists have suggested that it be built and operated under an international cooperative pro gram. Dr. J. Robert Oppenhei- Kentucky Vets Asked To Apply for Bonus Veterans who entered the service from Kentucky have been urged to apply for the Kentucky veterans bonus, ac cording to County Service Of ficer Jerry V. Bianconi. He noted that Kentucky of ficials cannot reach a decision on whether to pay a bonus to out-of-state veterans until they determine how many Ken tucky veterans are residing in other states. Applications may be made at the veterans service office court house, Mcdford. mer, director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Prince ton, N.J., backs such a plan. Ustd as Microscope Besides the five Russian scientists and one Polish phy sicist attending the informal meeting, representatives of the U.S., Germany, and Unit ed Kingdom, Italy and CERN (an international unit of 13 European nations) attended. Dr. Robert Wilson of Cor nell university, Ithaca, N.Y., who is chairman of the infor mal group, said the 300 Bev machine could be used as a very high - powered micro scope to look deep inside the now-mysterious center of an atomic nucleus. Dr. Wilson said he personal ly pictured a nucleus as a fuzzy object surrounded by a diffuse cloud of mesons. As one looks deeper inside the nucleus, the meson population becomes more and more dense. The structure of the deep interior is the current puzzle in nuclear physics. Anfi-Ffea Dog Food Found Accidentally In OSC Experiment Washington -lUrll- "Every dog has his day" is about to become true for millions of flea-bitten dogs. Little did author Miguel de Cervantes know when he penned his famous line about dogs in "Don Quixote" some time between 1547 and 1616 A.D. that some day dogs would get relief from fleas. That day apparently is in the offing. An Agricultural Research Service entomolo gist has stumbled on an anti flea dog food which eventual ly may make a dog's life worth living. The anti-flea element when mixed in dog food permeates the dog's body. When the flea bites the dog, the flea gives up the ghost. Maket Discovery The Agriculture Depart ment said the discovery was made by Dr. R. J. Goulding at the Oregon Experiment Sta tion at Oregon State College, Corvallis. Goulding was testing chemi cals for control of cattle para sites when he conceived the idea ' that certain chemicals mixed in dog food might pro tect dogs from fleas. Working with a veterinari an and a parasitologist, he added to dog food two chemi cals that had been thoroughly tested and used as a food sup plement in beef rations. Two dogs ate the dog food and then were exposed to a carefully counted number of fleas for four days. At the end of the trial period, 851 to 95 per cent of the fleas were dead. Reduces Stomach Worms The dogs received another boon from the chemicals. Vet erinarians checking them dis covered that the chemicals also markedly reduced stom- ach worms. I Goulding said development of a chemical-food combina tion which kills fleas also may have Important results in prevention of certain dis eases. Most rodents carry fleas, and these fleas frequent ly are infected with disease. Before a flea-proof food can be perfected and marketed, Democrat Finance Coordinator Named Portland - IUPI1 - Marshall Swearingen of Salem has been named finance coordinator for the Democratic party in Ore gon. Dewey Rand, state finance chairman for the Democrats, said Swearingen would work with congressional district and county finance chairmen on a program to raise a budget of $158,000 for the period end ing with the primary election of 1962. Swearingen is a former Central Oregon rancher and former president of the Ore gon Farm Bureau Federation. Goulding said, further re search is needed. SPECIAL THIS WEEK FOLGER'S COFFEE Ellis Grocery 830 Crater Lave Ave. Portland Doctor Honored by Society Portland - IUPD - Dr. Stanley Boyd, Portland general prac titioner, has been named as Oregon's doctor-citizen of the year by the Oregon State Medical Society. . . Nearly 65 per cent of all residential gas customers now heat their homes with gas. Britain To Banish Farthing From Coin System This Year London - IUPD - Britain an nounced recently it will ban ish the lowly farthing (about Vi of a cent) from its coinage at the end of the year, but it's already apparent the four-a-penny midget won't die without a fight. Its senior relation, the guinea ($2.93), was dropped as a coin of the realm some 140 years ago but despite dis embodiment survives today in commerce and trade. The guinea remains the standard quote for the fees of practically a 1 1 professional men. When it comes to bids at the plush auctions of jewels and objets d'art, or even the sale of cattle, the standard rates still are guineas. Most of the better shops price their wares in guineas. The long- gone guinea thrives on the awkward arithmetic it in volves - it being the term for 21 shillings, one more shilling than in the pound. Already Scorned The one-thousand limes less valuable farthing has been handed around as legal tender since about the year 1280, working its way downwards through the ranks from silver to tin. to copper to bronze. Shopkeepers will refuse them as 1960 closes; bus con ductors already scorn them. Schoolteachers are waiting the signal to drop them from the money tables. While the public probably keeps some sentimental affection for coin that has lingered so long few trouble to pocket them Inflation has made them a nuisance. But businessmen use farth ings in many basic prices. Retailers, wholesalers, mid dlemen, importers and export ers all still quote them on invoices. One dealer noted, "The man buying a particular article by the thousand will not stand by and see the farthing on each item changed upwards into a halfpenny. The booming football pools business, which rakes in some 90 million pounds ($252 mil lion) a year in stake money also has a vested interest in the farthing. The cheapest entry on some coupons costs one farthing. Experience has shown pool promoters that four guesses a penny is money maker for them. Liked in Legal Profession The legal profession also seems destined to hang on to the little farthing it has cher ished for ages. A recent Scottish editorial explained this part of the farthing s life by stating: The advocate addressing the court for the defense in an action for damages, breach of promise, for libel or slan der must conjure up the farth ing in that final stroke by which he seeks to demolish the plaintiff's case, "The award of one farthing as an assessment of damage must surely remain as an ex pression of ridicule for a claim that has no basis in reality. The halfpenny or penny could never have the same crushing effect." Deviled eggs delicious with OREGON PARM-FRBSH EGGS Guaranteed fresh! O PROCHR a. SAMSLC CO. FIND THE PRESIDENTS IN THE PICTURE...
