Autograph King Meets Queen

You name 'em, I've met 'em, {"
said Melvyn Newfield as he waited
to get the autograph of Miss
America of 1857.
This l6-year-old Emerson Insti-
tute student. who lives at 7730
Eastern avenue NV. has been coll
lecting autographs for four years.
I've never missed a famous per-
son who has come to Washington
in that time" he said.
Celebrities have filed up rs of
my autograph books with their
names. And I've got three cigar
boxes fun of autographs as well
as 400 big autographed pictures"
Nancy Sweitzer and Dina Gregori
listened wide-eyed as Mel told
about standing beside Eddie Fisher
and talking to Kim Novak. The
two girls. both eighth graders at
st. Mary's School, 723 Fifth street
NV. also were waiting at The
Hecht Co. to talk to Miss America.
They didn't mind the wait be-
cause Mel went right on with the
inside story Of his autograph hunt
ing:
Il stayed - hours one Sunday
in a hotel lobby without eating,
waiting for Tab Hunter, Mona
Freeman, Dorothy Malone and
Raoul Walsh to check in at the
desk. Finally. at 10 pm, I got
their autographs.
Jean Arthur is the only person
who refused to sign her name. She
said 1t was against her principles"
MeiS autograph craze started
when he decided to get the sig
natures of all baseball PLAYERS in
the American League. He got them.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-11-18

Then started to get restless"
he said. so went on to other
celebrities
At that moment Miss America
appeared and quickly signed Mel's
autograph book while Nancy asked
the beauty queen about her pro-
fessional intentions.
"Oh, forgot to. ask her how

old she was" said Dina as Miss
America scooted out the door.
She's gorgeous! No, she's cute.
She's my fourth Miss America sig
nature" Mel said. Then he tucked
the little red autograph book under
his arm and hurried OF to check
his tipsters on other celebrities ar
irving in town.

scented, to run the waterway.
But "even on that point, said
Mr.. Heikal, Egypt did not say
no. 1t explained its views, TAX
ing into account not only the
question of sovereignty but also
practical considerations relating
to freedom of navigation on the
canal"
mo international authority
can undertake to protect free
dom of navigation he added
THE real authority is the Egyp-
tian people and army. Other
wise, an international authority
will have to evacuate Egyptian
residents from the area and
bring along international forces
to carry out its orders. Both OF
these are naturally impossible. y
IF it is a question of freedom
Of navigation, Egypt is prepared
to discuss it," he concluded. IF
it is a question of nondiscrim-
nation against any of the users
of the canal, Egypt is also pre-
pared to discuss it. If it is a
question of transit tolls to safe
guard the interests Of all parties
concerned, Egypt is also prepared
to discuss it,"

the Egyptian position as he

Mr.. Heikal said in his news

points, he added, included: The
seriousness of the situation, a
