This one is neat, articulate—and pretty, too. He* name is Jocelyn Brando, and she’s the sister of the much publicized Marlon. Here for her first movie role—as Glenn Ford’s murdered wife in “The Big Heat,” she has firm words in defense of her brother. “Marlon is a fine .actor and a very interesting person,” she re marked between movie scenes. “I would like him as a good friend, even if he weren’t my brother. As a matter of fact, we AR$ good friends. “That’s why I get so mad at some of the things I read about him. His clothes, for example. He’s not as sloppy as he is made out to be. I will admit that he is a great believer in informality. In his earlier days, he preferred to wear blue jeans and a T-shirt. But they were always clean blue jeans and the T-shirt wasn’t, torn. “Since he has become a star, he dresses much better. He has bought several suits, and I under stand he just bought three tailor made ones last week.” FLASH GORDON THE PHANTOM MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN She admitted that his love of informality sometimes caused a family crisis when both were studying dramatics at the Actors Studio in New York. Before leav ing to attend a party or other function, she would gaze at his garb and shake her head. “I don’t mind seeing you there,” she would tell him, “but I won’t walk in with you. We’ll go separate ly.” She added that he was usually shamea into wearing something more acceptable. After a shaky start. Miss Brando is beginning to like the experience of making movies. She was the first in the family to go on the stage, Marlon following her exam ple when his attempts at schooling and other work failed. Her first job was in a show called “The Crocus,” which lasted all of a week on Broadway. Her first lengthy run was in “Claudia,” but the engagement had its drawbacks. She wa* understudy to Dorothy McGuire, and the star was blessed with unfailing health. Jocelyn finally got a chance to go onstage, but no* to replace Miss McGuire. Frances Starr, playing the mother role, fell ill. The actress playing the sister took over, and Jocelyn portrayed the sister. Evelyn was about a foot shorter than the actress she re placed, and Miss McGuire giggled because of it all through the per formance. Miss Brando’s next big part was as the nurse, the only woman in “Mister Roberts.” She said she didn't seem too out of place, since the stage manager and tbe goat in the show were also female. Jocelyn is married to writer Eliot Avilov, and they have a 7- month-old boy. She also has anoth er son, 9, by a previous marriage. BIG BEN BOLT BARNEY GOOGLE BRINGING UP FATHER Communist Check In Los Angeles Termed Success LOS ANGELES UR-Tbe House Un-American Activities Committee has finished an eight-day Los An geles hearing which Acting Chair man Donald Jackson (R-Caiif) calls “one of tbe most successful ever undertaken.” - Twenty * six witnesses, mostly writers, teachers and actors, were beard as tbe committee probed al leged Communist infiltration of the entertainment industry, education and tbe lives of ordinary citizens.

AND now excitement came to the old hotel at the aid of Mam Street in Golden City, Cali fornia. If Ruth had never beard of Langley Curtis, others obvious ly had, outside people as well as townspeople. The black headlines on Thursday brought visitor* streaming to the door to shake the celebrity’s hand. Business bowned. Within a week three tables had to be laid in the dining room each evening, and the end of May saw every room occupied and hopefuls calling from far and near to make reservations even for distant August. “She’s the big gest thing ever for Golden City,* trumpeted Mayor Luchetti at the formal welcome dinner held in the banquet room, and .with this ring ing declaration the Cart6taf agreed. Two girls were added to the staT, Manuel Gomez was giv en chance number five to prove * lto°d outdoor man, and still the fuss and furore went on. The day came when Ruth could look Dr. Daniel Curtis squarely in the eye and announce: “Any time you wish to leave you may! We’re honored, understand; but toe Carlisles are being worn out! He chuckled. “I’ve gone through this sort of thing for five years. Thats how long I functioned as my uncle's agent. Wait five yean hffort you begin to complain, fch? “But if you were a doctor—* “My uncle needed me more." It developed that others needed him, too. Sean O’Malley hadn’t been mistaken in his opinion that his second “scoop” for his news paper would rock the town to its foundations. Wherever Ruth went during these hectic days, she heard people talking about either Lang ley Curtis or Dr. Curtis, and some times about both. Grace Taylor at school took the stand that Dr. Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT PHOENIX, Ariz Ofl-News that the Chicago White Sox have sched uled no exhibition games out this way next spring and are prepar ing to move their training camp to Tampa has cast some gloom over tbe Arizona boosters who had foreseen the day when this state would rival Florida in the number of clubs soaking up its sun. Pittsburgh pulled out of the West this spring, and with the Sox gone only four teams will remain—tbe New York Giants, Cleveland and Chicago Cubs in Otis vicinity and the St. Louis Browns at San Ber nardino in California. The Browns have not signed to return to “San Berdoo,” but are expected to. There will be some difficulty in rounding out full exhibition ached-, ule for the four remaining clubs unless the Browns come to Aria on* when they are ready to start playing next spring. They discov ered to their sorrow this year that they couldn't draw against Pacific Coist League teams. Vera (Junior) Stephens, the old timer who hopes hie creaking limbs wQI hold together long enough for him to help the White Sox win a flag with his third-basing this sea son, was aU of 32 his last birth day. “I started pretty early,” Junior grinned. ”Beim playing pro ball since I was id—half my life. Grad uated from high school at 14. “Never been thrown out of a game in my life, though I can’t think of any words I haven't call ed an umpire one time or another. (He gave a few lurid samples.) 1 think it's because t say ’em quick and then walk away. What makes an umpire msd is when you try to show him up to the crowd.” Another veteran, and a slightly more legitimate one. who hopes to make his presence felt in the com ing American League race is Har ry (The Cat) Brethren The little southpaw, one J the pitching greats of the past decade for tbe St. Louis Cerda, is now with their intercity rivals, the Browns. He will be 3# the next time around “What is tt a pitcher feels be‘s losing first?” Harry replied re plied to a question. “Not any one thing—be just generally feels tee years creeping up oa him, I guess. "Right now there are days when f can go a tew innings or now and then a full game at good as I ever was.

Caustic Miss Vance in turn vouchsafed tbe opinion that in the long run e community hospital would provide better service ct cheaper rate* than any single individual could. A strong current of opinion fleered through the town, an undercurrent, true, but one which would become more and more noticeable ae aoon as the celebrity craze ran its course. “This," as Rod Pantussi put it, “makes things different, you gor geous girl, you! After all, why should we wpead all that dough when the young doc says he might be willing to spend his own?" It was an argument There were, as Ruth saw it many pros and many cons. Certainly tbe savings to the taxpayers would be large. On the other hand, wouldn’t ill people in the end pay more? “Want a kiss, Rod? You glorious hunk of masculinity, do you want a bowler of a kiss?* In the stern of the Dauntless Me, the fat artist from Maine stiffened. Rod, however, just grinned. “Aw, relax, Huffie. Me and Ruth are old pads. Td marry her and love her forever if she and just say the word, but she won’t, so we’re just good friends. What’s a bowler of a kiss among friends?* Wiry, nimble, smiling gayly, he hopped lithely to Municipal Pier. He led her down to the sea end and sat down on the bench under the awning. “What gives, kid? You know me. You can talk as much as you want, or as little.* “Rod, have you seen Bob? We’ve been so busy at the hotel—” “You wasn’t at the hotel couple of evenings ago. Saw you with Dr. Curtis on the beach.* “I need some rest, don’t I?* “A few days before that I saw you and the young doc riding horses through Peterman Can yon.* and show them a ball team. I hear it’s a good baseball town.” The man who wean nobody’s tie says be had been guaranteed a unanimous vote to move his club to Baltimore before the famous meeting at Tampa, where he received tbe business. He tays it even bad been worked out in league councils that Baltimore could have taken over the Browns’ schedule intact with only four or five changes on night games. “And don’t think we haven’t got what it takes to make a start. We are going to surpriae a great many people this year. You and everybody else are underestimating us badly. What you don't realize is tbe strength we've got down the middle. I mean, starting with Courtney, through Bill Hunter and Bob Young at short and second, and out to Johnny Groth in center field. “With tbe kind of support they are going to get from those fellows, our pitchers will look a whole lot better than anybody expects them to. And from what Marty tell* me, we might just possibly have the greatest young pitcher coming up this year in Don Larsen, a boy out of tbe service. Marty keeps pinching himself to as* if Larsen is true.” Breaking into the flow, ws asked Bill if there was any thought in his mind of eventually moving hit club out to Los Angeles or Saa Francisco. “That would be so far in the future and so many problems would have to be overcome that there's no use even thinking about to build a winning team in St. Louis and then see what happens. That and fixing up a tew fellows. I think I esa do both.” PHOENIX, Aril <*-Out here is the cattle asd cotton country they hold firmly te the belief that Syd Cohen, who ha* b**n pitching nd managing hall club* around the** part* for a couple of decades, is the moat colorful character the game has produced since Rube Waddell, another left hander They iff pfood of the fact that Syd was the last pitcher hi the Americas League to throw a home run ball to Babe Ruth.

But if taxes go up to build and support a hospital, mebbe we’ll only end up with one extra boat* “Rod, would you go to a hospital run by a man whos never really been out on his own?"

We adopted ail the bush league tac tics you ever heard of. such as tying our shoes between pitches, but he got two of us out in spite of everything we could do. ‘‘When our third batter didn’t get into tbe box quickly enough, tbe umpire ordered Syd to pitch anyway. Syd threw two in a hur ry and the ump called them auto matic strikes. On the third pitch my batter jumped into the box and managed to get his bat on tbe ball and foul it oif. “And right at that instant, so help me, the damndest rain stor i Arizona ever saw bit that ball park A lightning bolt hit tbe transformer, or somethin?!, and and every light in town went off. including those in the park.

It was pitch dark. “After about 30 minutes tbe downpour let up a little and I sud denly remembered that in the rush ! had left the box containing our valuable on the bench We don't have a regular lock box in the dressing room like big league teams.
