Gene Tiierney Doesn't Pretend,
She Wants Work in New Career

Avor of my working in my
chosen field Ny mental state
was caused By my personal
life, not my work. You know,
Sheilah, I had such a hard
time for six years, but ! feel
/ am all right now. A year
ago I tried to work in a pic
ture, but had to quit. 1t was
too much of a strain. But
when I filmed this television
show, I felt fine, completely
able to cope with it.
1T pays to blow your top"
said Gene. People were so
surprised when I had my
breakdown because they
thought I was so poised, so
well controlled. That was a
mistake. The doctors talked
to my mother, and asked
her, Was she an easy child?'
oh yes, she told them. She
was no trouble at all, always
pleasant, never any tan
trums.' Maybe she should
have had them,' the doctor
told her."
No Play on Broadway
Gene protects her new
well being by not letting her
self get too tired. II would
never do live television or a
play on Broadway - the
strain would be too much for
me. Freddie Brisson wanted
me to star in Under the
Yum Yum Tree but I
thought I was well forever.
I thought I could make it,
but fell short. Now I feel
I've left it all behind.
After she left the Men
ninger Clinic in Topeka, the
doctors put Gene to work as
a dress saleslady in the i'm
mediate vicinity. And she
loved it. IT worked six
months. and bloomed so with
the work. I enjoyed being
with the people there; they
had great dignity. And saw
my doctor twice a week"
Then a reporter for a ma
tional magazine discovered
Gene, the former movie star,
working as a SaleSlady.
THE people at the hospital
were disappointed with the
publicity. One of the men
on the magazine took pic
lures of me from a window.
The doctor called him in. It
happened that he had been
sick himself. And my doctor
said to him, Give this girl
a break The photographer
went back to New York i'm
mediately.
Shed Like Travel
Gene would like to travel
again. "I'd like to make a
picture in Europe. Howard
would come with me-" Lee
is an oil millionaire and
doesn't have to work for his
bread and jam. I'VE di-
vide our time between West
port in Connecticut, Holly
wood, Houston and Aspen,
Colo, where Howard has a
skiing lodge. People ask me
whether I SIX: there, but I've
had enough trouble in the
past few years without hav-
ing a broken leg"
A final helpful word from
Gene for you and me upon
finding problems becoming
to much for us: Don't dis
cuss them with other peo-
pie. Any problems you have +.
should be between you and !
a pSychiatrist.

liage."
AS all writer-producer-di-
rector types, Mr.. Pirosh has
his favorites among camera
men. Tactfully to avoid men
tioning names. he discovered
with delight that one Of the
most famous Of these would
be finishing his (the camera
man's) picture one week be-
fore the Pirosh flign starts.
The latter was delighted.
The Search Resumes
"Then," said Mr.. Pirosh,
"the other picture hit o snag.
1t won't be finished until
June. Now I've got to ind .
cameraman."
How about casting such q
film as the one under discus
sion which, by the way, win be
for Paramount?
That's the hardest problem
of all. \
The Paramount : Pirosh
project could use o name star,
needs a strong cast behind the
star to get the full dramatic
values. There Is one on Para
mounts roster 'but who. in
cluding the actor himself,
knows what his commitments
win be on our starting date.
During most Of the last two
years, he (the starr has been
either in Europe or the
Orient"
Beyond the star who is an
other item on the deferred
decision list, Mr.. Pirosh has
in mind two special perform
erS. One Of these is among
the country's new comics
with a missile-like popular
ity. BY the time the picture
is ready for production, there
is the prospect that the chap
will be booked solidly for
months at a salary that has
gone out Of sight.
Singer . Question
The second is q young sing
er chap who has shown
Hollywood an impressive act
ing ability. He is the kind q
producer-director would find
q dream answer to q casting
problem. But how does one
tie him up for an April movie
for which, at the moment,
the script is merely frag-.
mentary. a kind Of architec-
tural drawing? A producer
never knows.
Maybe" a helpful friend
present suggested, 1T would
have been better to have
gone into another kind Of
work; say, writing plays"
"Oh, I'd like to write q
play have, in fact" MIR.
Pirosh says, "but these COM
plicationS are the excitement
Of m a king movies. Once
caught up in them. there's no
way out. And, If there were,
I wouldn't take it."
That's how it is, you see.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: Is there, such a
word as chlorine" referring to
girls in a chorus? I was sure
I had heard it used, referring
to girls in a musical play. How
ever, I have been unable to
find 1t in the dictionary.-Mrs.
j. D., Shelstree, Wampum, Pa.
Answer: Indeed there is. Ac-
cording to the World Webster
Dictionary "a girl who sings or
dances in a chorus at a theater.
cabaret, etc." is a chlorine. It's
a word that has been in COM
mon use since the 1920's at
least. Though originally listed
as slang" most authorities
now label it "colloquial" -
meaning that it is perfectly
suitable for use in informal
writing or conversation.
Suggestion: Why not get an
up-to-date dictionary? It's
amazing how much new and
valuable information you'll find
in the newer word guides.
Question: We have been
studying in our sophomore
English class the matter OF
agreement between pronouns
and their antecedents. One
question that caused confusion
for some Of the students went
like this: IF you have hac
measles once, can you get Git

think it should be them" Mrs
Johanson (our teacher) and the
other pupils think it should
be 'it." We should all appre.
ciate it if you would help settle

this question. - Darlene AL
brecht, Gleason, Wis.
Answer: Teacher, as usual,
knows best. Admittedly it
sounds odd to see a noun ending
in IS" treated as a singular
noun. But that's the way Eng
lish is-odd and unpredictable.
According to the dictionaries,
words such as measles, mumps
and physics are plural nouns,
construed as singular. This
means that the formal. cor

quote should be: IF you have

Opening lead: Five of clubs
In a recent team match, the
good bidders got to six hearts
a magnificent contract. North
saw the possibility of a slam, SC
showed his diamond control
and invited the slam. South

Good Bidding Wins the Prize

was glad to accept the invita-
ton.
South ruffed the opening club
lead and fell right on his nose
by leading out the ace of hearts
East was sure to make two
trump tricks, and South was
minus 100 points.
Safety Play
A good player would make
the slam by a safety play. The
only danger is a 40 trump
break. South cannot guard
himself against West but can
against East.
The simplest plan is to lead
a low trump at the second trick,
Dummy's 10 forces out the jack
Declarer then enters dummy
twice to lead trumps through
East, thus capturing the queen
and the nine and making the
slam contract.
Maybe you think this little
tragedy shows the importance
of good play rather than good
bidding, but you haven't heard
the whole story.
At the other table of the
match, North and South were
good players but horrible bid
ders. North became declarer al
a contract of six no-trump, and
all of North's skill in the play
could produce only 10 tricks.
North was minus 200 points

thus losing more than the good
bidders. You can't always make
a profit by bidding we'll, but at
least you can minimize the
losses.
Daily Question
Partner bids one diamond,
and the next player passes. You
hold:
AKJ7 V1O87 VAK72 +QJ6
What do you say?
Answer: Bid three diamonds
This unsatisfactory bid is all
you can make if you use stand
ard methods. You can do better
if you use the method suggested
by Edgar Kaplan, famous New
York expert: A raise to two
diamonds is forcing, and a Jump
to three diamonds is weak. If
you have agreed with your
partner to use this method, you
have all the room you need to
find out which game is best.
Don't use inverted raises" in
the minor suits unless your
partner understands you thor
oughly.

The trip was made aboard

To reach the Russians. the
Alaskans had to travel nearly
700 miles, including 100 miles
in the ice pack. Part of the
time they followed a Russian
trawler that was heading to the
main fleet with a load of fish.
1t was like sailing in a canal
cut through a desert of ice. .
Mr.. Wakefield took a vessel
to the area last year, but his
party was not invited aboard.
Quite a different reception
was experienced this year. The
party was welcomed in friendly
fashion, taken into the Russian

frank answers to all their
questions.
The crew of the Deep Sea
visited the Russian crews, en-
joyed Russian and American

were exchanges Of gifts and

There's q battle going on
behind the scenes that could
decide who gets the Demo-
cratic presidential nomina-
ton.
The public generally isn't
aware of the struggle. The
results of the inside fighting,
moreover, are not always
visible to the naked eye.
But the tacticians working
vigorously in behalf of Sem
ators John Kennedy and
Lyndon johnson are playing
their respective trump cards
with all the resourcefulneSs
known to politicians.
First of all, in order to un-
derstand the situation, it is
necessary to realize that Sem
ator johnson, as majority
leader of the Senate for sew
eral years now, has built up
certain personal and politi-
cal relationships with nearly
every Senator on the Demo-
cratic side. These reach into
the political organizations of
the Democratic Party in al
most every State. They mean
strength for the Texas Sem
ator in the East, the Middle
West and West, as well as in
the South.
Also, in the House of Rep
resentatives is Speaker Sam
Rayburn of Texas, who is
working intensively for SEN
ator Johnson's candidacy.
The influence of a Speaker of
the House with as many
years of service behind him
as MIR. Rayburn has can
reach into almost every con-
gressional district represent
ed by a Democrat. Speaker
Rayburn can add thereto the
benefit of friendships with
some IS men who now are
United States Senators but
who used to serve under him
in the House.
This is a powerful leverage.

Since then there have been
