HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 7 (P).
1t looks as if Mitzi Gaynor.
whom goth Century-FoX
dropped and now wishes 1t
hadn't, may make movie his
tory as Daryl Zanuck's third
great boner.
The studio boss, often
labeled genius by the Fox pub
licity department, also fired
Clark Gable and Rita Hay
worth early in their careers.
The Gaynor blunder is even
harder to understand.
Both Gable and Hayworth
were virtual unknowns when
Zanuck let them go. In the
case of Mitzi. everybody in
town but the people she
worked for knew she was star
talent.
She hardly had time to dry
the tears that fell on her pink
slip before Paramount signed
her to costar with Bing Crosby.
Donald O'Connor and Baller-
ina Jeanmaire in Anything
Goes"
Mitzi will receive 100000
for her top role in this must
cal, Paramount'S biggest and
most expensive of the year
Reported budget-nearly 81
million.
In GObel Film
And from that musical,
Paramount signed her to be
the love interest in George
Gobel's movie debut, a remake
of the Preston Sturges' hit of
IS years ago, The Lady Eve"
MitZi will not sing or dance
in this one but will get a
chance at good comedy and
dramatics.
Barbara Stanwyck played
the role in the original version.
The movie, as yet untitled.
has Gobel playing q frank
furter king who is a vege-
tartan and Mitzi and David
Niven as a couple of card
sharks out to fleece him. She
winds up falling in love with
Gobel.
Now even Fox wants her
back to star with Van John
son, Frank Sinatra and Dan
Daley in a big musical about
the songwriting trio of De-
Sylvia. Brown and Henderson,
It's typical Hollywood irony
that she spent four years al
Fox and got only two good
roles in all that time-her
first and last.
In between. she was put ir
pictures that would have
sabotaged the career Of any
one less talented. AS one friend
told her:
Nothing can hurt you from
now on In. You've had it,"

ilyn, an honest woman, public
" admitted so and cited SHOW
Business" as one Of the main
reasons why she bolted the
studio.
Bad Timing
How does the studio explain
what happened to Mitzi?
The official notice of dis
missal meant only one thing
that the studio thought Mitzi
was not star caliber. However,
one studio bigwig, obviously
anonymous, explains:
"Fox, for some unexplained
reason. is a one-woman studio.
Mitzi came in the Betty Cradle
era and left in the Monroe re-
gime. It was just bad timing"
Even Cradle, one of the
greatest boxoffice stars in his
tory, had to get out when the
studio emphasis started shift
ing to Monroe.
Mitzi's first movie at Fox was
My Blue Heaven" in 1850.
She was only Is at the time but
she was cast as the home
wrecker type in that Betty
Cradle Dan Daley starrer.
She came across sexily, a
believable home wrecker. With
this start, Fox thought they
had a new star-and they were
right.
Did they follow up with some
more sex appeal roles? But no.
MY Blue Heaven" was the
first. last and only sexy part
Mitzi had in four years.

Snider just handed me the Jun- eau Independent, pointing to the front page where I read as fol- lows:
 The Independent learned this as 55 delegates prepared for the Constitutional Convention meet ing that more than one Delegate to the Convention was described as ready to push the plan to put Statehood in effect whether Con- gress passes an enabling act or not"
 Handing the paper back to her I said, That's nothing sweet heart. Some of the boys that's over there now, members of the Alaska Legislators, voted to suc- ceed from the Union unless we get Statehood. Lots of big talk, but if the fencing needs mending just ask Uncle Sam for the money.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Wasilla, Alaska November 5, 1855

Editor
 The Frontiersman
 Palmer, Alaska
 From your valuable paper we learn that the meetings of the League of Alaska Cities is now past history. One of the main problems of course was to find ways and means to prevent the abandonment of certain farm roads in the Matanuska Valley.
 Everyone knows that the sur rOslnRing farming country is the baekbone of every city in the world which includes Anchor age and Palmer; and that it takes rmoesey to build and maintain
 goais
 Ady. Niemi suggested to ask for support in getting Alaska includ ed in the Highway Act. The Lea que voted to ask Uncle Sam for annual appropriation of $25, ,0OO.- 000 for the Alaska Road Comnas- sion and another sum of $10,0O0,- GOO For Alaska Public Works. Tc be popular and be on the good side ia to promise a lot of money and then find someone to pay the bill Ard the goat is the Federal Government. We have come a long way, when we lived IT 9 tent ;n the winter with candles for lights.
 When Alaska first was opened 10 settlers at that time a home stead of l60 acres or more could be had for the asking Free seeds were given the new farmers Roads and a railroad was built by the Federal government at the

cost of millions of dollars to open up Alaska.
 We were a free and happy peo- pie. But with the advance of civ ilization we got better roads, cleo tric lights, better homes, and sch ools. Also politicians and taxes. No one denies the fact that we have to pay taxes. But the law tells us that we should put the taxes on those who best can af- ford to pay them.
 One time yours truly proposed a Bill to put a license. tax of from $500 to 5000 on trucks of 60,000 tons. This Bill never found the hopper, reason? Impossible to pass. It was proven that in the States that much is paved for trucks of the weight and size but Alaska charges them $75, while the farmer who haulS his own produce pays $25 for two- ton truck. We howl about road conditions but are unwilling to pay for the maintenance of the roads built by Uncle Sam.
 Yet, we want Statehood, re- gardless that we ask for help for the fishermen and the Indians; for roads and many other things, state should do.
 I believe that we could use the $3O0,000 Chat is wasted on a Constitutional Convention) for better and maintenance of roads in Alaska. And that trucks should pay license fees according to how much they haul over the roads. I said wasted $3OO,0OO. I mean just that. Anytime 5 delegates are going to make a Constitution l want to be shown. Too many cooks spoil the broth. One of them has already been to the Ha- Waii Islands to learn first hand about the Hawaii Constitution. It would only cost a Six-cent pos tage stamp to find that out. Mrs
