RADIO KALD c-smo w-A. SM K. FRIDAY I i rT5 By Dave Rodwell Artoiig Advocate Editor Artesia, N.M. 1ft A pet doe which lived twice the life expectancy of a deer and gave birth to 22 fawns has died on a ranch near Artesia.

Although a mother of note, she had a peculiar hatred for women wearing skirts. Affectionately known as "Fawny," the 15-year-old doe was found in the Sacramento Mountains west of Artesia in 1940. The State Game Department said the normal life of a deer is seven or eight years. Never tied or fenced in, she re mained a pet She gave birth to three sets of triplets and one of her first fawns, now 12, still is alive. Fawny was reared on a bottle by Cecil Smith, Artesia grocery store operator.

Early in her long life, she frolicked with children. tagging after them like a dog and answering to her name. Then, one day she disappeared A few weeks later she turned up again and led Van Welch, on whose ranch she lived, to a barn where her first fawns, twins, were bed ded. Soon after, she developed a men tal twist a deeD dislike for skirts. A woman visited the neicn ranch, and the doe galloped down from a hillside in answer to Welch's call.

The deer attacked the woman, ripping the back of her jacket and blackening her eyes with her hooves. But another woman visitor wearing slacks didn't draw the Doe's Situ.

Holden, who played a semi-heel in the movie "Stalae 17." was both happy and upset about his first Oscar. He was happy, of course, for winning the top honor but said he was "very upset" for having to hurry his acceptance speech due to the television time commitments. lirvl A trm.

Holden, a youthful 36, said he "was pretty leery" before the pre sentation of the award. "I thought Burt Lancaster would get it" He admitted that his role in "Stalag" was one that he wasn't particularly thrilled with during the making of the picture. "But I see the light now.

In fact, I'm holding it," he said, raising his golden Oscar. Miss Hepburn, in stage makeup for her Broadway role of a water nymph in the play "Ondine," received her award in the New York portion of the show. Her first movie starring role was that of a princess on the loose in "Roman Holiday." Visibly touched, the 24-year-old ex-ballerina said, "I am truly, truly grateful." She said it like she really meant it "It's too much," she said. "It's like being given something to wear that you have to grow into. Something to work toward." Someone asked: What next? 'I still have the same goal." the excited actress replied, smiling.

"To be a great actress?" "Yes, to be a really good one." So she would be free in time for the announcement, the management of her stage play had advanced curtain time 10 minutes and cut the intermission. In costume, she hurried to the NBC Cen- ter Theater at Radio City with police motorcycle escort, she made a quick change of clothing there. She said she had hoped but she was also afraid that if she won and had to say a few words she would fluff her lines The sex and-violence-filled "Eternity," a story of the pre-Pearl Harbor regular Army, captured awards for sound record ing, film editing, cinematography, screenplay, direction and support ing actress and supporting actor in addition to best picture. The eight Oscars tied the former record held by "Gone With the Wind."

But Fawny always was gentle with children, although she disliked little girls unless they were clad in blue jeans.

Fawny's domesticity puziled forest rangers. "They'd come around every once in a while," Welch recalled. "We explained she wasn't in captivity and then call her by name. She'd come bouncing off the hillside as proud as could be. The rangers would go away still puzzled.

They kept coming around but never did find her inside a fence she never was behind one in her life."

It uses its own radar and electronic brain to follow maneu vering planes.

Texas Trying To Ban Reds AUSTIN, UP) Only action by the Texas House and Gov. Allen Shivers signature were needed Friday to make it a crime to be a Communist in Texas. The state Senate Thursday unan imously approved a bill which out laws the Communist party, con fiscates its property, makes it a felony to be a member and pro vides penalties of one to 20 years in prison and-or a fine up to 000.

Shivers has urged that Commu nists be executed as traitors, but he did not include that recommen dation in his message to the spec lal session of the Legislature, which convened for 30 days on March 15 A bill calling for the death pen alty has been introduced in the House, and legislators said there was a chance the lower chamber might amend the Senate's bill to increase the penalty. The proposal grew out of i three-day hearing by the Texas In dustrial Commission, revived by Shivers for the job last December into the alleged infiltration of Communists into the labor movement in Texas. Water Pistol Used In Murder Attempt HOLLISTER. Calif. truck- er tried to kill his estranged wife by squirting poison into her mouth with a water pistol yester day and then took his own life by drinking some of the same poison, the sheriff's office reported.

Sheriff John Luochetti said the trucker, Charles Patterson, 56, of Gilroy had arranged a meeting with his estranged wife Rose, 42, and that when a reconciliation attempt failed, he shot the liquid into her mouth with a water pis tol. Mrs. Patterson spat out most of it and rushed for town to be treat ed for burns. Deputies found Patterson dead beside his automobile. Veteran Teacher Back to College MARYVILLE, Mo.

W)-Arthur Cauffield retired in 1951 after teaching school for 61 years. Now he's back in college as a student. Cauffield, who is 81 and has a master of arts degree, said: "I knew that I would deteriorate unless I put my mind to work." He's attending Northwest Mis souri State College, where he taught 37 years and he's not taking any easy courses. "What disturbs me most," he said, "is to miss some question which I have asked my own students time and again."

(UP)i Twenty two congressmen rose before dawn Friday to begin a personal inspection of the Army's newest guided missiles, rockets and radar-controlled anti-aircraft weapons.

Most of them were members either, of the House Armed -Serv ices or Appropriation committees, which determine in large measure how much money the military forces get. The congressmen attended a top secret briefing last night on what they were scheduled to see at Fort Bliss, the nation's big anti-aircraft training base located near El Paso, and at the White Sands, N.M., proving ground for rockets and guided missiles, some 80 miles north. There was no official announce on what the congressmen would see, but it was learned the ultra-secret Corporal rocket, the older Nike guided missile and Hon est John, a ground-to-ground roc ket, would be demonstrated. "This trip gives us a chance to see for ourselves the performance of these new weapons," said Rep. Dewey Short, chairman of the House Armed Services com mittee.

"You might say, in a few words, we want to see if the tax payer is getting his money worth." Rep. C. W. (Runt) Bishop, (R- chairman of the House Armed Services Appropriation subcommit tee, added that the trip came just before his group will take up the military spending bill for the next fiscal year. "We will get some actual evi dence before the hearings this way," Bishop said.

Radar crews were sent to posts in the White, organ and San An dres Mountains Wednesday, an in dication they will be called on to track the faster-than-sound rocket Showtime Dial 4926 1 AUCE KELLEY BRETT yfiffitf JHE Wrefl w'Vy a BI P.F KFllFY-HRETT uie won ner ursi ucar in me supporting category, me role was a drastic change from the goodie-goodie roles which the Demson, Iowa, native had played for years in the movies. When her name was called she ran all the way and her first words into the microphone were: It was a long walk. I didn't know if I was going to make it." Frank Sinatra, wartime croon ing idol of the nation's bobby-soxers, climaxed a thrilling career comeback in winning an Oscar for the best supporting role. Two years ago the spindly croon er was considered washed up in Hollywood. He did not sing in "Eternity" but he disclosed that he would have been more than willing to sing on last night's show.

"But no one asked me," he said. The Oscar for the best song went to "Secret Love," sung by Doris Day in "Calamity Jane" and by Ann Blyth on last night show. Fred Zinnemann, the director of "Eternity," won the top direction Oscar. He was the favorite by a close margin over George Stevens of "Shane." Stevens, however, walked off with the coveted Irving Thalberg Award for distinguished production. The night started out like a testimonial banquet for Walt Disney.

His cartoons and documentary films won four of the first six awards. They brought his total number of Oscars to 22, housed in a special anteroom at his office. Millions watched and listened to the nationally broadcast awards show, which went off without a hitch. The show, with the accent on entertainment, was the best in years.
