PAGE 2 A HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1958 Singer Says A Good Show Will Bring The Audience By CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK AP-"lf you have really good television ahow, you'll get an audience," says Andy Williams. 'It doesn't matter what night your show is, or what time or what network or whether you form your own network. Welt, Williams has a good show as the summer replacement for Fat Boone and the mail indi cates bo's attracting a large au dience of all ages. The Williams Show has a rela lively low budget. It doesn't op erate on the theory that it needs big name guest stars to hold its audience. In Williams' words, "We mainly just try to do good songs, Actress Asks Spouse Jailed LOS ANGELES (AP)-Former actress Tita Purdcm wants her ex-husband, actor Edmund Pur dom, jailed. She says he's $24,000 behind in alimony payments and she la destitute. In an affidavit filed yesterday supporting her charge, she said Purdom has lavished money on other women since their divorce in 1956, but paid only sporadically the Sl,050 a month ordered for alimony and child support pay men Is. Among the other women, Mrs. Purdom named actress Linda Christian, and said Purdom se cretly married her in 1356. No such marriage has ever been pub licly announced. Mrs. Purdom said she knows of no divorce between Purdom and Miss Christian. Her affidavit said he has since married Alicia Darr who, Mrs. Purdom said, is "re puted to be a wealthy heiress." She said she understands Purdom and Miss Darr now are separated Mrs. Purdom said she is so poor (he and her three children have been evicted eight times in a year for nonpayment of rent. 4--H1 : DOORS CPEN 6130 P.

Williams has the low-keyed manner of Perry Lomo and he doesn t dish the hokum some per' formers seem to think is the sub stance of an interview. Example: You grow mighty weary of hearing performers com- plain about the weekly grind of a TV show. But Williams refreshing ly remarks. "I'm lazy, and you don't have to work too hard in television. You have to think hard. That is, you must concentrate on absolute sin eerily when you're singing a song Because that close-up camera nev er lies. The television audience is smart. It knows immediately whether you believe in what you're doing or whether you're taking it and when you fake you re dead. The solution for an honest per former, Wilbams believes, is the Perry Como solution: sing only songs in which you believe. About five years ago a quartet Williams was singing in broke up and he went it alone. He hit with recordings and then became a fea tured singer for Vi years with Steve Allen. 'In a television show," says Wil liams, "you seldom know how well it's going. You're working to an inanimate thing. Cameras and di rectors do half the work for you. Sometimes the less you do the bet ter. Sometimes it seems to me I'm ' just standing there doing nothing. Then I see the kinescope afterwards and realize a lot has been hapening. Other people have been working for me. Comic III, So Dinner On House CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. (AP) - Dinner was on the house at the Calneva Club on Lake Tahoe last night when comedian Milton Berle cancelled his portion of the floor show pleading illness.

Movie queens from Theda Bara to Marilyn Monroe zoomed through romances and marriages faster than editions could hit the streets. Not Kim. Even her head line-making dates with Gen.

The board took the action Wednesday just prior to approv ing a record 28 million dollars in school building aid applications. For all practical purposes this clears up all pending applica tions," said H. H. Jaqueth, execu tive officer. Jaqueth explained, however. that approval of applications does not necessarily mean there will be funds for the projects. With the sale of the bonds we should have enough money to take care of everything that has been approved through today," he said. "But after that there won't be any money for construction items although we may be able to fund items such as plans." The board may approve as many applications as it sees fit but it is limited by statute to apportioning only .8 million dol lars a month. 'The extra 30 million loaned to us by the 1958 Legislature has helped considerably in clearing up big backlog of projects, Ja queth said. Another school building aid bond issue will be on the Novem ber ballot. This issue will be for 220 million, including funds to repay the 30 million loan from the investment fund. Finance Director T.

"I be lieve it is better to be lonely by myself than to be lonely with someone I m married to. "I want a husband and family, someone to take care of. Just think, a man to cook for and to comfort and love. But I couldn't give him just part of me. I'd want to give him all of me my heart and soul, my mind and my body. Unlike her sister actresses, Kim has no driving ambition to con tinue her career. She recently completed Bell, Book and Can dle" at Columbia. But she would drop acting altogether if "Mr. Right" appeared. "Sometimes I feel like a neck lace or ring in a store window waiting for someone to take me," she added wistfully. "And there's no price tag. "More than anything else I want to be a woman, and a woman isn't a woman without a man. I have no preconceived notions of what he'll look like or how he'll behave. But I do know if I settle for less than my dreams it would destroy me;" Bit parts: Story being told in the Hollywoods about Chico Marx, excited by headlines that his brother Zeppo was being sought in a gambling ring expose, called brother Gummo to ask where he could find Zeppo.

Germany (UPI) The strange story of a German businessman who has been fleeing "justice" for 25 years was un folded today after his return here to confess a "killing" that never occurred. Prosperous Karl Mende told po lice he had killed a man at the beginning of the Nazis' successtul light for power in Germany. I want to atone for my crime, said .venae on nis reiurn from long years of hiding in the French Foreign Legion, Australia and South America. Mende told this story: On the night of Jan. 31. 1933. while returning home from night school, Mende became involved in a street fieht between Nazis and Communists. He threw a wooden nost riDDed from a fence at Nazi Storm Trooper in self-de fense. The next morning a newspaper said the Nazi had been "murdered." Frightened, Mende fled the country, joining the For eign Legion. Then Arab friends "smuggled" him onto a freighter bound for Australia. When World War II broke out, he was in Peru. He sent letters with money to the Nazi's family. Then he feared the letters were intercepted and he fled to Brazil, making a four- tune in real estate. Recently, he said, his worries caused a nervous breakdown, and after recovering he decided to return to Germany. Investigation by police showed the newspaper which had reported the death of the Nazi printed a correction the day after Mende fled, saying the man had been injured.
