HyottsViIIe Widow
Seeks Career as Nun

A Hyattsville mother of four
will join one of her daughters
in the Sisters of the Good
Shepherd today, beginning a
new life a day before her 55th
birthday.
The mother, Mrs. Telula
Hayden Beck. of 6524 Eighth
avenue, Hyattsville, planned
for years to join a religious
order.
Even before her two older
daughters entered converts, she
said, II remember mentioning
to them that I hoped to enter
sometime"
One Of them, Sister Marie
Dolores, is a teacher at st.
Euphrasia School, Thirty-six
street and Reservoir road, NV,
and a sister in the Good Shep-
herd order. The other daugh-
ter, Sister Mary Frances, is at
the Holy Name of Jesus and
Mary order at the Sacred
Heart School, Tampa, Fla.
Mrs. Beck has been a widow

Frank Beck, died here six weeks
after their youngest child was
born.
Although Mrs. Beck was
graduated from st. Mary's
Academy for Girls in her native
Leonardtown. Md, in 1926, she
had no thoughts then of en-
tering a convent. She later
moved to Washington and
studied piano in a private
school before marriage in 1888.
After her husband died in
194l. she said she began to
think about a nuns life. "a
little over a year ago, I really
began to inquire about it,"
Now that her youngest child
is 81, Mrs. Beck feels the time
is right to begin her new life.
MY children are very happy
about It," she said.

My taxicab was soon ap-
preaching the ancient brick
gatehouse of Sutton place. In

an American Western movie or
a television set. The driver
gave him my name, and then
the iron gates we're opened by
an electrical device operated by
the gatekeeper.
The road rambled over an
old stone bridge spanning a
brook. past great trees and
meadows. After perhaps half q
mile, I saw it: Dozens of jewel
like windows wrought OF
stained glass and mullionec
panes prismed the glow of SUM-
set, blending with brick wall;
which almost five centuries hac
weathered into a soft old-rose
shade. This was Sutton Place
the finest Tudor home in Eng
land, as lovely as a dream of
lost childhood.
I was ushered into a drawing
room paneled in light natural
wood and furnished with Chip
pendale chairs, jonquil silk COW
erings, several 18th century
Dutch paintings and a marble
fireplace. I waited alone by a
tea table set with a sumptuous
variety of cakes.

We finished tea and Mr..
Getty showed me around the
house, one magnificent room |
after another. I mentioned the
similarity between the great
dining room and the one inI
San Simeon, the spectacular
home Of the late william RAN
dolph Hearst.
II spent New Years there at
San Simeon in 1934-5," Mr..
Getty said, "and as a token Of
appreciation I sent Mr.. Hearst
a gas-coupon book for 300 GAL
Ions. He seemed delighted with
my gift, although it was but q !
trifle."
Fastening up the stairs
ahead Of me to turn the light
switches on (Mr. Getty is very
undemanding Of the 20 "inside" |

beautiful bedroom suites for

Getty Says California
Is Where He'll Retire
BY VIRGINIA KELLOGG
Copyright, 1853, by North American

Newspaper Alliance, Inc)
LONDON, Jan. 5.-"Please be
very clear that I'm coming
home. I long for California
that's my true home. There I'll
retire"
The man talking is billion
aire j. Paul Getty, the worlds
richest businessman, who has
just turned 70. I interviewed
him for many hours over a
period Of several days at his
72-room Sutton Place residence,
the magnificent estate he
bought 21a years ago from the
Duke of Sutherland.
He explained why he hasn't
been home in Malibu, Calf, in
a decade:
81 haven't flown since 1912
when my plane was caught in
a tornado. I'd have to figure
about six weeks by train and
ship for the round trip and I
just haven't been able to spare
that much time. I guess I'll
just have to start flying again"
The man who controls more
Of the worlds oil than any
other private individual became
nostalgia about his California
boyhood. He told me about the
paradise" that the Southern
California beaches were to him,
about the hunting parties in
Pasadena and about the ram
bling white ranch home he
hasn't seen in 10 years. 1t over
looks the Pacific near Malibu,
and it is there that he keeps
his fathers law books and 9TH
er family mementoes. Zone
wing of the house is open to
the public as a museum)
J. Paul Getty spoke candidly
to me of the many facets of his
life-of his boyhood ambitions,
of his family life-and insist
ed on escorting me personally
on a lengthy tour of his man
sion, laden with art treasures
and surrounded by wooded
hills. soft meadows, country
brooks-all left in their natural
state.
Terse Acceptance
I had written Mr.. Getty some
time ago from my home in
California requesting an inter-
view but hardly hoping to get
one. Back came a terse reply:
Should I ever be in England,
he'd be pleased to see me.
at once took him UP on it,
writing him I would be there
in a month. I received no reply
to this, but when the month
was up I packed my bags, flew
to London and promptly tele-
phoned him.
I'm an oilman's daughter
and had learned over the years
that an oilman's word is his
bond. This is true of Mr.. Getty.
He acknowledged his standing
invitation and asked me over
for tea at $50 that day.

father had been a partner Of
the late Texas wildcatter, Anon
Carter, Mr.. Getty said he had
known Anon well, and warmed
up to the interview.
The Sutton Place squire
agreed with what my father
had told me-that oil and min
ing are clean" businesses be-
cause only the earth is deprived
of its riches. Eyes, you add to
the worlds wealth." Mr.. Getty
said.
"You know, I never became
a businessman or wealthy by
choice" he continued. what I
really wanted to be was a
writer" Indeed, he has in a
way fulfilled this ambition with
two well-known books, Europe
in the 18th Century" and Col
lector's Choice"
He explained that. after he
was graduated from oxford
with a degree in economies and
political science, he rebelled
against joining his fathers oil
business. George Franklin
Getty already was a millionaire
is times over but believed in
frugality to the extent of never
spending more than $25,00O a
year maintaining his family
and his home.
