 Public Next Summer

WASHINGTON, LR - The Ma tional Park Service hopes to re- open Mckinley Hotel in Alaska's Mckinley National Park for pub lie occupancy next summer, an of- ficial said today.
 George Hartzog, assistant chief of concessions for the service, told a reporter one or two operators have expressed tentative inter est" in operating the hotel but that nothing definite could be ex- pected until this winter.
 He said also the park is ex- pected to be leased to the mili- tary again this winter as in past years. The hotel formerly was op- erated by the Alaska Railroad but was turned over to the National Park Service last year. The Ser vice contracted with a concession aire for the hotels operation but cancelled its contract last month, Hartzog said, when service de teriorated." The hotel since has been under a temporary operator until its closing today for the win ter season, he said.

 A broadcast yesterday identi- fled the trio as Richard Apple gate, 37, of Medford, Ore, a Ma tional Broadcasting Go. corres- pondent; Donald Dixon, 25, New York, an International News Ser vice newsman, and Benjamin Krasner, 30, Brooklyn, ship cap tain.

Modest California Beauty
 Named 1855 Miss America

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., R - A long -stemmed beauty from Cali fornia, in the crown and robes of a queen, embarks today on a year-long whirlwind tour as the 1855 Miss America.
 Nineteen-year-old Lee Ann Meriwether of San Francisco, who wants to be an actress and says there's no special boy friend in her life right now, is modest about her figure.
 But the pageant judges, who selected her from among 49 other charmers Saturday night, were more enthusiastic over Lees mea- surements- which shape up this way: bust 3412, waist 22 and hips 35.
 In her first interview with neWsmen yesterday, Lee confided that she didn't think she'd give Marilyn Monroe much competi- ton and that the new flat" look by Dior "came just in time to save me-"

Palmer WOnan's
 Description Leads To Arrest of Bandit

PALMER, R = A sharp-eyed woman's description of a masked man who robbed her of $11,224 led to the arrest four hours later of a 64-year-old Alaskan who, police said, blamed debts, gam bling and liquor for his venture in crime.
 The prisoner, Joseph Perrin, an Alaskan resident for more than 40 years, was arraigned before a US. Commissioner in Anchorage today on charges of armed rob- bery and kidnapping.
 Palmer Police Chief Bernie Bouwens said about $10,000 was found hidden in a rubber boot in Perrins garage. The rest, Bou- wens said, had been used by Perrin to pay debts.
 While awaiting arraignment in Anchorage, Perrin said haltingly:
 "You get into bad company. You start gambling. You lose a little and think you can make it up. But you lose more and more I must have been crazy to pull that stunt. I had been drink ing and never would have done it if I had been sober"
 The police said Perrin matched the description given by Mrs. Thema Ross, an employe of a Palmer department store.
 Mrs. Ross had left the Matan- uska Valley Bank with a sack of money for cashing payroll checks, and had started to drive away in her car when a masked man rose from the back and threatened her with a knife.
 The bandit forced her to drive about a mile out of town where he gagged and bound her. She said that she caught glimpse of the mans face as she was being blindfolded, and recognized him as coal miner who previously had cashed payroll check at the store.
 q had a mask made out of a pilloWslip," Perrin said before his arraignment. "It slipped a little too far and she recognized me-"

That 1.-THE Egyptian" is here
testifies to the fact that Direc-
tor Michael Curtiz did work out
a formula for dividing the pro-
duction between the personal
story and the spectacle elements.
His most conspicuous lapse into
pure boredom is the area in
which poor, added Sinuhe keeps
pounding on the boudoir door
of Meier. His demented court
ship in which Sinuhe is denied
even the satisfaction of drown
ing the Babylonian siren in her
sunken bath is almost as hard
on the spectator as it is on the
hero.
Much better managed are the
plot in which the epileptic en-
percr tries to sell pacifism to
his people and his neighbors,
General Natures effort to grab
both the throne and the frigid
patrician sister of the ruler, and
Sinuhe's blindness to the exalted
love being offered him by Miss
Simmons.

a sum that would have run early
Egypt for three decades Of the
good life, makes it extravagantly
clear what the money went
for. It's palaces, temples, pyra-
mids. baths. divans, costumes,
