Huddled in a corner of the 20th 'NOT A BAD PARTY. 1 pUSTEO SIX MUOONSAM'A WW0W: Tall Girl's Film Career Hampered By Her Height III 1 1 ! t By BOB THOMAS AP Motion Picture Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP)-Constance Towers, who has the dream as signment of costarring with Wil liam Holden and John Wayne, should have been a star two years ago. One of the things that held her back is that producers didn't have the vision that some of the rest of us had. Another is I beg your pardon for this . that Connie lowers. She slands a delightful 5 feet 9 or 10 in high heels. Though she has obvious qualities for stardom a natural Bergmanesque beau ty, blonde Kelly-like hair and a rich voice that is all her own her height was against her. Some how, male stars don t like to look up at their leading ladies. Fortunately, Wayne and Holden rise above her. Hence she quali fied for the leading female role in the five-million-dollar "Horse Soldiers." She plays a Southern belle who spies on Yankee interlopers Wayne and Holden and is kid naped by them on their cavalry march through the South. Why hasn t she gotten to the top faster? It's a wonder to many who have caught her on the supper club cir cuit. I recall seeing her on the closing night of the old Last Fron tier Hotel in Las Vegas. She was a knockout. But she couldn't get anywhere in films. Columbia brought her out here after she made a hit in her first big-time date as a singer at the St. Regis in New York. I did just one picture a quickie with Frankie Laine," she recalled. 1 didn t have much to do, and Blake Kdwards, who was di recting his first picture, didn't have much time to devote to me. The picture did nothing for me." She asked lor her release and got it. Then she went back to the clubs. Meanwhile, she studied dramat ics and sang occasionally on TV. Marty Rackin, who had pre viously considered her for an Alan Ladd film, remembered her when he went independent with John Lee Mahin. He introduced her to director John Ford, the ardent fan of Ireland and the Navy. "It didn't hurt that he had served with my uncle, who is an admiral in the Navy, and that my father was born in Dublin," Con nie said. Of the-500 actresses considered, she was one of 10 who tested. She won. And now, somewhat overdue, she'll be a star. Judge's Call Halts Escapee INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) Judge John R. James objected Monday when two armed guards were posted in his courtroom for the trial of Karl Ward on a sec ond-degree murder charge. Ward wasn't going to run away, said the judge, and there was no need for the guns. Sheriff Arvid Owsley argued that Ward was a dangerous character, and the judge agreed to let one deputy, with pistol, remain. Wednesday, as the jury deliber ated Ward's case, he asked for permission to step into a corridor for a drink of water. Once there, he broke for freedom. The judge. at that instant walking down the hall, shouted for him to stop. "He stopped, looked at me and walked back," Judge James said. It's probable that Ward also saw Deputy Clyde Hatfield's lev eled gun when he stopped. Ward, 41, of Tulsa, was con victed of stabbing an airman and sentenced to 12 years imprison ment.

Luft won custody last month on grounds the youngster needed home and family life instead of living in a boarding school. Miss Garland was subpoenaed to an swer questions about the boy's adjustment to life in the Luft Garland home. Miss Rari's lawyer picked up the divorce complaint Miss Gar land filed last March in which she said in a sworn affidavit that Luft had beaten and attempted to strangle her. "Has he ever attempted to strangle you?" the attorney asked. "No," the singer replied in a low voice. "Did he ever beat you?" ''No." Miss Bari's present husband. Dr. Nalhan Rickles, Beverly Hills psychiatrist, testified earlier to a telephone exchange wilh Luft when the boy was being prepared io go to the Luft home.

Coolt At C e n t u r y-Fox commissary for lunch, Diane looked a perfect ragamuffin, the antithesis of such studio glamour girls as Jayne .Mansfield and Joan Collins. Diane was wearing faded, skin tight blue denim trousers, blotched by rust from the rivets, Her hair was disheveled, her nails unpolished and her bare feet ensconced in Japanese san dals. She wore no makeup nut even lipstick as she sat cross legged at the table. "I'm not interested in superfi cialities," she explained in a quiet voice. "Fancy clothes . and makeup take too much time. I only take time for things I think are im portant. Therefore I'm quite in considerate of my appearance and superficial opinions other people might have." Diane and the late, tousled haired Dean have other traits in common. Both were nominated for Academy Awards Diane for her first role in "Peyton Place.' Like Dean she also fights studio dictates. Lntil recently she was under suspension by Fox for re fusing to accept a Ioanout. "I don't like being compared to Jimmy," she went on. "I never met him. But I want to be orig inal. That's how I think." Diane rubbed her shiny nose with the back of her hand and nibbled at a piece of French bread. Before answering ques tions she burrows deeply into her thoughts. Asked the reason for this, she said, "I only went to high school for one year, and I like to think about things. "I m undisciplined about my reading. Right now I'm studying anthropology and reading some books on plants and things." When Diane quit high school she struck out on a "pilgrimage to find myself." In the process she worked as an apple picker, restaurant hostess, model, sales girl and on an assembly line In a candle factory. Diane has been married twica and lives along with her 2-year-old son, Shawn. She divorced her second husband, James Dickson, last August. "My days are filled with house work and taking care of Shawn," she said. "I don't even own a tel evision set. Never saw more than 12 hours of TV in my whole life. I haven't the time for it. "I've been a rebel since I was 12 years old. I was rebelling against the way I was treated and things I didn't like. Even at that age I thought conforming would annihilate my very exist ence. When people ask me why I don t conform, I ask them, conform to what ? Currently starring in "-Compul sion," Diane says "I am trying to commit myself as fully as I can to the role" a character istic well known to Dean's asso ciates. 71 DOOR3 CPEN 6I3Q P. M.
