At the age of six its author,

Winsor, was chased by a wolf.
weight ladies and two
flustered males (Miss Winsor's
agent and Johnson) wormed
this press-stopping fact out Of
the lady after eating creamed
turkey at luncheon Of the
Hollywood Women's Press Club.
Kathleen, we were tipped off,
was going to address the ladies
of the press on her sex drama of
the English Restoration period.
So we daringly crashed the
party, thanks to a couple of vice
presidents who kept telephoning
us to be sure we had the time
and the place written down.
Now about this wolf business.
Miss Winsor said she was

EVERYBODY laughed and then
deluged the lady with every
question except, SIS it an auto
biography" Someone asked her
that one in Indianapolis and she
replied, eff it is, l wouldn't have
had time to write the book"
To keep track of Amber's boy
friends, she said she kept list
as a guide. We couldn't resist
speaking up:
I'm other words, you kept

Miss Winsor's original title for
the book was "Wings of the
Morning" which the publisher
didn't like. A girl in the pub
lishers office suggested For

Kathleen said she got the name
Amber from her landlady's cat.
mot THE TYPE"
Although goth Century-Fox
is interested in herias an actress,
she said she wasn't the type for
Amber. I'm not sexy enough"
she said. She said she didn't
have anyone in mind for the
role, and thought that Fox would
cast an unknown in the part.
Amber" is a first novel, but
she's not planning a sequel. In
fact, she's not interested in writ
ing at the moment. After five
years l guess I'm tired of writ
ing" she said.
A magazine recently asked her
to write an article titled,
How to Get Your Man and
Hold Him"
Il sidestepped that one" she
said.

Chickenpox Ends
18th Runaway
By Boy Of Six
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Feb. 6.-Most of
the time it was police who finally
caught up with a 6-year-old Balti-
more boy said to have run away
rs times last year, but now it is
something different ~ the chicken
pox.
Little Bobby Yates Is in the Rich
mond (Va) Hospital, where he had
been taken by police who picked
him up about 20 days ago as he was
breakfasting with a chance CT
whom he had met at the station.
Further travelling was precluded
by the discovery that Bobby had
contracted chickenpox and his
mother said he would remain in
the hospital until he is well enough
to be brought home.
Bobby is an old acquaintance
around the Baltimore Missing Per-
sons Bureau. His shortest trip was
from Mount Royal Station to Cam
den Station here and his longest
from Baltimore to Pittsburgh. His
most recent itineraries have IN
GUIDED jaunts to Charlottesville,
Norfolk, Clifton Forge, Covington
and Hampton, Va.
He always travels by train, board
ing them at crowded terminals and
then riding as far as he can before
being put on. His life's ambition?
