seem to be happy and last July
9, she gave birth to a daughter,
Katrina.
Anne always has seemed to
me to be one of the most decl-
sive woman I ever have known.
When asked to dosa thing, she
says either yes or no, and rarely
changes her mind. After she
saw herself in "Razor's Edge"
she decided it wasn't puppy fat
any more, and embarked on the
most rigorous dieting regime.
Some days there was no food
at adjust juice. Anne is now
down to 103 pounds, less than
she has weighed at any time
since her childhood.
She's always on time. always
prepared, and now always prop
erly dressed. Her recent CLAM
orization is another facet of
Anne's character. She can look
at herself dispassionately. seeing
that she's a good actress. but she
has not been getting roles COM
menSurate with her talents. In
fact, she hadn't had a really
big role in quite some time.
That's why / turned blond"
she explained. People seem to
expect a blond to be a bit
dizzy, and I'm not going to be
any exception. from the way it
looks. I noticed that not long
after I turned blond, people
began behaving differently
toward me. So I aarted Civ
ing it right back until pretty
soon I realized that this wasn't

self, but quite a different char
acter-a much more interesting
one, I think"
Her recently redecorated
home, done in a Chinese mod
ern motif, is good setting for
her new coloring. Somehow,
modern settings seem made to
order for blonds," says Annie.
People don't expect brunettes
to stray from traditional set
tings."
The Hodiaks live in a two
story house few hundred
yards above the Sunset Strip.
Some of the outside walls of
the home are of solid glass,
making the garden seem to en-
ter the dwelling.
Anne is popular on the lot
and always has been, but she
doesn't truckle to any one, or
give out with that half-con-
descending allure that some
stars believe is the sign of a
lady. Annie is sort of cool
friendly which. perhaps, in the
long haul, wears best.

GETTYSBURG. Pa, May 15.-
Gen. Eisenhower has not seen his
farm since he became its owner
shortly before he left for Europe
on his NATO assignment.
It's very attractive place. It
looks like one of those Currier &
Ives prints of rural life in America
at its best.
His attempt to reverse the
Cincinnatus story has been un-
successful so far. Cincinnatus
abandoned his plow for the de-
tense of Rome. The general, who
has spent his entire life in the
military since his appointment to
West Point. has long wanted to
retire to the land. But the post
war call to the defense of the
Western World has prevented it.
80 Miles From Capital.
The Eisenhower farm is just a
bit to the left of the road from
Washington as you drive through
the battlefield on the way to this
historic town.
It is only 80 miles from WASH
ington. The red brick home be-
side the much larger red barn

The general did not manage to
Iget a look at it when he came
last November to report to Presi-

Eisenhower May Get to See
Gettysburg Farm in June

Brig. Gen. Arthur Seymour Ne
wins, U. S. A. (ret), who was a
plans and operations officer (G-3)
in SHAEF. He is living there with
Mrs. Nevins.
All the Nevins know about the
possibility of Gen. Eisenhower
coming to the farm in June is
the speculation they read in the
newspapers.
Gen. Nevins is in constant COM
munication with the NATO COM
mander but the correspondence
has mostly to do with the rotation
of crops.
The farm is 189 acres of fiat,
fertile land which is skirted by
Marsh Creek. There is a covered
bridge just west of it.
Dates Back to the 182Os.
The windmill was whirling away
above the Eisensower house when
he got there. There has been
little change in the place since it's
purchase II months ago. A smoke
house has been removed but there
has been no new construction.
The new owner acquired a herd
of Holsteins when he bought the
place with all tools and stock.
The Nevins are switching to
Guernseys for him. Counting
both herds there are now 38
head altogether, 81 mich cows,
two yearlings, ii calves and a
registered Guernsey bull named
Hannibal.
Allen Has Nearby Farm.
Most of the land is in grain,
corn, wheat and oats with a small
portion in pasture.
There is no doubt that the op-
portunity to purchase a part of
the battlefield attracted Gen.
Eisenhower as we'll as the proxim-
ity to the nearby farm of George
E. Allen, the former District Com
missioner whose wit helped him
make fortune. Mr.. Allen bought
a Gettysburg farm just ahead of
the general.

Armed Forces 10 GET
Most Of $1z Million
In Deficiency Bill
By the Associated Press

A $1,413,820,O00 deficiency ap-
preparation bill, most of it to foot
Korean war costs, was sent to the
House today by its Appropriations
Committee.
The total is $61.6 million less
than President Truman had re-
quested.
Except for $12,820,o0 for the
Labor, Commerce and Agriculture
Departments and the judiciary,
the entire amount recommended
is for the Army, the Navy and the
Air Force.
To Replenish Funds.
1t is called deficiency appro-
priation because the money would
replenish regular funds for this
fiscal year, ending June 80, which
are near exhaustion.
The Army's share is $1,128, ,0OO,-
900, a cut of $40 million from
what it asked. The Army total
includes $685. million for pay of
military personnel, 1913 million
for maintenance and operation
and $3.50 million for civilian relief
in Korea.
The Navy was allotted $38 mil
lion, a cut of $6.1 million. All of
the new funds are for financing
of the expanded Marine Corps.
Air Force Allotment.
For the Air Force, the commit
tee recommended $235 million, a
reduction of $40 million. Almost
the entire Air Force allotment is
for maintenance and operation
programs directly due to the Ko-
rean action.
Among other funds:
Two million five hundred thou
sand dollars recommended for
the Labor Department Is for
grants to States for administra-
ton Of unemployment compensa-
ton and employment service
programs.
Ten million dollars earmarked
for the Agriculture Department is
to permit a start on construction
of a laboratory for research on
hoof and mouth disease.
