ANNE SAWYER sank twenty-foot putt

championship! She stood motionless until
she heard the rustling anticipatory whispers
of the gallery turn to "Oh's" and Abs"
Until the applause came. Then she looked
up and smiled.
The Anne Sawyer Smile" the nress called
it - as II 1t were trade mark. In the first
place 1t had been merely her natural wav of
registering pleasure. as much a part of her
as the coppery lights in her hair. But after
three years of having the smile look back at
her from hundred newspaper pictures, it
had become something which had to be
worked at, like approach shots; something
required of her, like shaking hands graciously
with defeated opponent.
She was shaking hands with Evelyn Ballard
again. She said: you played grand game.
If you hadn't had all the bad breaks ="
Somewhere in the back of her mind voice
warned her: You said that the last time

how the wrong man couldn't be pried loose

be drawn by the strongest magnet.
You were marvellous, Anne. Seven par

fatuously. She had ceased to wonder how long
he would keep it up; her problem now was
how long she could stand it.

there's more to it than meets the naked eye;

Anne smiled and murmured sweetly:
Thanks so much" She was praying she
could keep that expectant look out of her
eyes when she met Stan Elliotts. She was
aware that he was standing. tall and lean
and beautifully bronzed. behind Joan.
He said: I'm here to pin a medal too -
if you We got room for it.
Thanks so much - There she was again,
like silly babbling parrot when she wished
to say something clever - different, anyway.
Not that his remark had been so scintillat-
ing. certainly not up to his old standard.
Things they said to each other now didn't
seem to come off the way they used to. If she
hadn't had that game lost-till-the
last-hole tenacity, she would have given up
long ago.

Exforter Fires
Lawyer; Convicted
Inu Minutes

STOCKTON, Cal, March 18.
CUP) Parker, an ex-con-
vict, wasn't satisfied with his lawyer,
so he fired him and conducted his
own defense against charges OF
kidnapping and automobile theft.
The jury found him guilty in %
minutes.
Having served prison terms for
forgery and bank robbery, he eX-
pected today that he would get a
life sentence, as a third offender.
He is 10 be sentenced Friday.
There also was pending a federal
charge of attempting to extort Sl0,-
900 from Count Marc de Tristan,
of Hillsborough, Cal, against him.
While acting as his attorney yes
terday, Parker repudiated con-
fession he allegedly made to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
II thought if I confessed to the
de Tristan case" he said. the gov
eminent would take me over. I did
Mt want 10 take the chance of going
to Folsom (prison) for life on this
charge here"
Instead, the government waited
for the state to try him for abduct-
ing an Oakland taxi driver at knife
point and making him drive to
Stockton, Cal.
The FBI said that Parker had
confessed writing a note to the
de Tristans, threatening their son,
Marc, jr, unless they paid him
$4,000. The FBI identified him as
the man who had escaped from
a trap they had set in a cabbage
patch, where he was to collect the
money.
The de Tristan boy was kidnapped
last fall, but his kidnaper, Wilhelm
Muhlenbroich, was caught, and is
serving a life sentence.
Parker said he got the facts for
the confession from newspapers.
