Irate British Press Calls Session
With Lana Turner 'Humiliating1
By th« Assoc >a tod Frost
LONDON. May IS.—Honeymoon
ing Lana Turner rested in the deep
quiet of the Savoy Hotel today after
a sort of hectic encounter with the
British press.
The press was pretty mucn in
clined to let her rest.
The glamorous blond Hollywood
fllm star arrived yesterday with her
new husband, Henry J. (Bob) Top
ping, and then administered what
the British Press Association called
“probably the strangest and most
humiliating press conference ever
held In Britain.”
Six reporters arrived on schedule
at 6 pan. Come back, they were
told, in 45 minutes. At 6:45 they
were requested to return in is min
utes. At 7 the six were ushered tc
Miss Turner’s suite. She breezed
through the room, said, “Hello
lollcs,” and vanished down the hall
Four of the reporters vanished
in the other direction but two per
sistent fellows pursued the star and
found her in Dancer Eleanor Pow
ell's suite.
“I love the English country,” Miss
Turner said, according to the press
association's account. “The grass
and trees are so wonderfully green,
and the tulips particularly and the
flowers are so terribly beautiful.”
Just about then her millionaire
husband Intervened and asked if
that wasn't about enough. The
reporters said yes, that was enough.
This morning three of London’s
newspapers ignored Miss Turner
entirely; the Graphic printed her
picture but no story; the Telegraph
devoted three paragraphs on an
inside page to her arrival; the
Mirror printed a jolly piece en
titled "I’m Just a Poor American
Girl."
Detroit Police Alert
Against Disorder at
Big Wallace Rally
•y Associated Press
DETROIT, May 13.—Henry Wal
lace, third party presidential candi
date, was ready today for a Detroit
address that will touch off a 23
day Midwest and Pacific Coast
speaking tour.
The Progressive Party of Michi
gan, which put Mr. Wallace on the
fall election ballot here, predicted
a sell-out of the Olympic Stadium’s
12,000 seats for the political rally.
Local police planned to send a
large contingent to the big stadium
to prevent any disturbance.
Blasts at Marshall.
Mr. Wallace put in a busy polit
ical day yesterday, conferring with
party members, greeting followers
and the press and engaging In a
radio question-and-answer session
with local labor leaders.
Mr. Wallace greeted newspaper
reporters with a blast at Secretary of
State Marshall, whom he accused
of declaring for a continuation of
the “cold war” between this coun
try and the U. S. S. R.
Gen. Marshall threw “cold wa
ter” on the peaceful hopes of many
in this country whose spirits soared
with the hopes that peaceful ne
gotiations between the two coun
tries might be established.
The current labor scene, expressed
in Detroit by the CIO United Auto
Workers’ one-day-old strike against
Chrysler Corp., drew some hot words
from Mr. Wallace.
Says Raises Could Be Paid.
“Raises now being asked,” he said,
“could be paid. And it would be
good for the country if they were.”
The presidential candidate carried
the same theme over into his eve
ning radio broadcast, declaring sup
port of the auto workers, labor in
general, Federal aid for teachers,
antilynch legislation and low-cost
Government housing.
He called the Truman adminis
tration’s railroad seizure a "one
sided partisan solution to problem
of the railroad workers.”
Rope making was one of Amer
ica's earliest industries. A man in
Boston produced it commercially as
early as 1630.
St. Elizabeths Patients Defi
Rescuers in Rooftop Climb
St. Elizabeths Hospital was plan
ning repairs to the roof of its men’:
receiving building today as the re
sult of a roof-climbing escapade bj
two inmates last night.
The two patients, who forced a
fourth-floor window grill to get onto
the roof, defied firemen and at
tendants for more than an hour.
One aimed a barrage of roof tiles
at would-be rescuers, preventing
them from reaching the climbers
with a ladder, but no firemen were
hurt. The two inmates finally re
tired through another window.
Dr. Winfred Overholser, hospital
superintendent, said stronger win
dow barriers might be necessary if
further climbing expeditions oc
curred. Normally, enough attendants
are on hand to prevent such at
tempts, he added.
The Burmese celebrate “Tagoo,”
their new year festival, by dousing
every one with water. TTze lowest
employe may inundate his boss with
complete impunity. _
