2--Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Monday 27, 1 967 Hal Boyle's NEWSMAN'S View of the NEW YORK (AP) First he was a violinist. Then he became an eye doctor. Then, as the result of one simple idea, he switched to a new career that has. made him almost a legendary figure in show business. In fact, he is sometimes referred to as '''Mr.

Show Business." Relatively little known to the general public, Juges C. Stein, now 70, is the philanthropic financier who founded and is presently chairman of MCA, Inc. holding company for a $200-million-a-year entertainment, real estate and empire. It is the parent firm of Universal Pictures Universal Television, Decca Records, and several other enterprises. Stein, son of a South Bend, Ind.

dry goods store owner, worked his way through the University of Chicago and Rush Medical College playing the violin and saxophone. After a year at the University of Vienna he became cnief resident ophthalmologist at the Cook County Hospital. "As a sideline I was booking bands he recalled. "At that time bands often played in the same spot for years. "I conceived the idea that bands ought to move around more from place to place the idea of the traveling band." The idea proved an instant bonanza.

Stein founded the Music Corp. of America in 1924, and a year later gave up the practice of medicine. His firm, in addition to booking bands, began to manage individual performers in vaudeville, motion pictures, radio, and eventually television. "Over the years, we handled 600 bands, including Guy Lorn- bardo's, and represented about 75 per cent of the great artists in the entertainment field," Stein said. "Among them were people like Edgar Bergen, Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Jack Benny, Jim- FT'.

ORD, Calif. (AP)-- Rock roll singer Gary Lewis, 21- year-old son of comedian Jerry Lewis, was graduated Friday from Army basic training at Ft, Ord-- along with 674 other privates. Gary said he thought that basic training was going to be bad it was." He said that within two weeks he will marry Sara Jane (Jinky) Suzara 22, of the Philippines in a Roman Catholic ceremony in Los Angeles. Gary will become a convert to the Catholic Church before the wedding. He will remain at Ft.

Ord for four weeks' training in the Army clerks school before being assigned. on Bridge Don't Pin Yonr Hopes On Just One Finesse If you spend much time with bridge players you're sure to hear the question; "How vyas I to know?" And then you will hear a long explanation of why the player was absolutely right when he did the wrong thing. South dealer North-South vulnerable NORTH 8 7 5 2 94 WES 4 2 EAST SOUTH A None A 1 0 6 0 A6 A 1 0 9 5 South Vi'est North East 2 Pass Pass 6 AM Pass lead K. When this hand was played in a Parisian bridge club recently, South ruffed the opening spade lead and drew three rounds of trumps, ending in the dummy. This put her In the dummy, so that she co'ild try a finesse--either in hearts or in diamonds.

South tried the diamond finesse, losing to the king. Later she had to lose a heart Down one. NOW PLAYING From the age of magnificence comes a new magnificence in motion pictures The diamond finesse was the correct play if South could try only one of the two finesses. Actually, South should have played for both red suits. ONLY ONE ROUND South should draw only one round of trumps, with dummy's jack.

She can then lead the nine of hearts from dummy for a finesse. it loses, South can ruff the third round of hearts to get to dummy; and then she can try the diamond finesse. As the hand stands, South's first heart finesse would work. She would repeat the finesse, draw a second round of trumps with the ace and then ruff a third heart in dummy to try the diamond finesse. An immediate diamond finesse would be correct if dummy had the singleton jack of trumps.

Then there would be just one entry to dummy, and South would have to choose just one finesse. Half a loaf is better than none, but the whole loaf is better still DAILY QUESTION As dealer, you hold: 10, 9, 4 Hearts-8, 5, 2 Diamonds--K, 8 Clubs-6' What do you say? ANSWER: Bid four spades. Slam is very unlikely, unless your partner has so powerful a hand that he can afford to make a slam try even though you have made a shutout bid. Since your hand is worth 7 or 8 tricks on offense and perhaps only one trick on defense, it is a good idea to shut the opponents out of the auction.

Stein, a small, slender, white- haired man with genial brown eyes and a chipper manner chuckled drily as he recalled the temperamental problems of dealing with some of the stars he helped make famous. "My medical background often stood me in good stead because some of my clients also became patients. I found sometimes that the more neurotic an artist was, the greater also was his talent," he said.

"Their greatness was exemplified by their difference normal people. In my opinion you shouldn't go into the artistic or medical fields unless you are warm or sensitive in personality. Great artists may often be emotional, but they aren't cold- blooded." "There is plenty of room for cold-blooded businessmen. Some say I am Stein smiled. "But I'm not.

Sharpe, 6985th Security Squard- ron, Eielson AFB, receives a watch from Colonel Louis W. Rohr, base commander, after being named Airman of the Quarter for Eielson AFB.

Airman Sharpe, a personnel specialist, was selected from competitors from all base units for the period November 1,1966 to January 31, 1967. I Air Force Photo) MANSFIELD, Ohio, (AP) -One man whose action helped trigger a walkout which preceded the layoff of 196,000 men in 85 General Motors Corp. plants says he would do the same thing again. But none of the men directly involved in the wildcat strike which led to closing of the GM Fisher Body plant at Mansfield had any idea their actions would affect plants in 17 of the 18 states which GM has production facilities. The Mansfield strike ended Thursday and GM says it is preparing a worker callback program but indicated another full week may pass before all 415,000 GM workers are back on the job.

GM blamed the layoff on a shortage of parts made at the Mansfield plant. Behind the two-week walkout of United Auto Workers Local 549 at Mansfield was continuing concern by union members over what they felt amounted to taking work away from them. This complaint turned into a work stoppage after a foreman ordered two men to load dies on a truck for shipment to a GM plant in Pontiac, Mich, The men crane operator James Strickler and helper Paul Sloan refused. They were suspended, a procedure under the union contract in which workers are taken off the payroll until union and management agree on a punishment for disobeying orders. Usually such suspensions are settled in a week or so and the men return to work.

In this case, union leaders, who had filed a grievance in January over "farming out" work, demanded a meeting with management. Denied a meeting, they led the 2,650 auto workers out of the plaint. Within a week, GM had shut down plants across the country and laid off of the auto workers on its payroll. The Mansfield makes floorboard, fenders and similar parts for 90 per cent of GM cars. Pressure from UAW President Walter Reuther finally got the local back to work.

Would Strickler do the same thing again? "I have no choice," he said. "I'd have to." The return to work left unresolved the underlying issue -plus the suspensions of Strickler, Sloan, Local President Robert Hall and 16 other union leaders. GM said the action against Strickler of nearby Shelby, and Sloan of Tiro was "normal routine" for refusing to do the job they were told to do. Strickler viewed it differently: "We won't have any work if it keeps getting shipped out." He and the union claim at least $100,000 worth of work has been farmed out from Mansfield recently and 95 jobs of "promised jobs" have been cut. UofA Project Wins Nod From Educators The University of Alaska's rural school project has won national recognition in competition with other universities and colleges throughout the country.

The of A was named one of five finalists in the 1967 Distinguished Achievement Awards competition, sponsored by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. The University of Georgia won the top award. The annual competition honors collegiate programs that make "outstanding contributions" to the improvement of teacher preparation courses. Launched in 1966 with a $579,000 Ford Foundation grant, the rural school project is designed to train new teachers to serve in remote rural schools in Alaska. In these schools, Aleut, Eskimo and Indian children face education problems similar to those of disadvantaged youngsters in other states.

The teachers attend an eight- week summer session on theUni- versity of Alaska campus. Instruction is given in language training, anthropology, health and community service. La Raine's HOMESTEAD Mile 3 Airport Rd. RE-OPENING WEDNESDAY, MAR. 1ST Coma out.

My hollo to Chuck Tootle LoRalno Announcement of the finalists in the Distinguished Achievement Awards competition was made at the AACTE annual banquet in Chicago. A silver plaque was presented to Dr. William R. Wood, president of the university, and Dr. Charles K.

with Ed Baumeister Why don't they make clothes for us middle-age teenie-hoppers anymore? Even here, even on the Last Frontier, even as far away from the Seventh Avenue garment district as we are, they are asking we who are just out of teenie- bopperdom and some of us who are a little more than just out of it to dress like transistor teens. We went on a shopping trip the other day to get a pair of pants. You know, pants, those garments that begin at the waist and flow past the knees to the ankles. Or at least that's how they used to be. Those who are a little older will remember they used to have little wrinkles at the top called pleats, if the history books are accurate.

But today--today pants (or whatever they are calling them) do not begin atthe knees and flow to the ankles. They begin and end at those same places, but what they do in between is anything outflow. They strangle the legs, or at least that's what they appear to be doing. Now this is really neat on that other sex, who long ago learned how to ambulate and navigate with tight clothes. But for we uninitiated males, it isn't so easy.

Try to get a pair that aren't tight. "Good afternoon, I'd like a pair of baggy pants." "A what?" "Pants. Baggy pants. The kind that let you walk." "Surely you don't want baggy pants. That just ijn't the style anymore.

Today, we clothe the slim, trim agile man." "But can he Well, the philosophy ends about here, and the clerk confesses he doesn't have anything in your size (or anybody else's, for that matter) that doesn't make you look like your off for a ski weekend in corduroy. Down in Juneau the other day the House passed a bill setting standards for sunglasses. How about a measure setting standards for pants. So we can -vails again. McNamara Denies Split With Rusk WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of Defense Robert S.

McNamara. acting with unusual iratiative, declared Friday the administration is absolutely unified in support of the bombing of North Vietnam. Specifically, the Pentagon chief said there is no difference of opinion between him and Secretary of State Dean Rusk about the need for American air raids on Hanoi's territory. McNamara first called reporters to his office in an attempt to dispel what he considered an untrue image of division between himself and. Rusk.

Later he read a statement before television cameras explaining "the apparent divergence of opinion." Apparently McNamara's volunteer statements were an outgrowth of seeming conflict between his and Rusk's congressional testimony and public statements about the bombing campaign. In testimony given behind closed doors in January but released only Monday, McNamara said he didn't believe the bombing "has significantly reduced, nor any bombing that could contemplate in the future significantly reduce" North Vietnam's infiltration of men and supplies into South Vietnam. It'sNotYes, ItAintNo DETROIT (APMJov. George Romney of Michigan may not be ready to say "yes," he is running for the 1968 Republican presidential nomination, but he admits he's not likely to say "no." During his seven-day western trip, he traveled more than 8 000 miles by air, several hundred miles by bus and car, a half- mile on horseback and 400 yards by dogsled--and ran into the worst weather on his way home. His plane from Arizona was delayed by a blizzard Thursday night in Chicago and was forced to circle for more than three hours before landing at O'Hare International Airport.

He flew to Detroit early today. At his last stop for a speech in Mesa, Romney ticked off these statistics with obvious pride: 18,500 persons heard him during the trip, he raised $200,000 for the GOP. "The trip has been well worthwhile," he said. And had Romney received impressions favorable to his candidacy in 1968? "Well, favorable enough to keep up the hot courtship," Romney said. Romney's hot courtship in the.

last seven days included four new Republican governors- Walter J. Hickel of Alaska John Williams of Arizona, David Cargo of New Mexico and Don Samuelson of Idaho. Although he didn't win them all--Samuelson was the most noncommittal--he at least got a hearty reception wherever he went.

Dear Ann lenders: I run a respectable rooming house and don't have anybody under my roof who isn't God-fearing and churchgoing.

A widow man moved in two years after I buried my husband. I enjoy the roomer's company but I am having a problem with him. A few weeks ago I bought a wig. It looks very natural and when people, compliment me I say "thank you." Twice last week someone mentioned my beautiful hair and the roomer opened up his big mouth and blurted out, "It's not her hair. If a wig." I told him in private to keep his trap shut He claims that what I am doing is the same as lying and he's not going to stand for it.

What is your opinion of this? FUMING Dear Fuming: It is not the roomer's place to offer a statement of origin when people give you a compliment. If you were wearing false teeth and someone remarked on your lovely smile, would the roomer feel obligated to say, "She wouldn't look so good without those china Some women don't mind telling people they wear a wig. Others do. If up to the individual to volunteer the information if she wants to. Everyone else should keep his mouth shut.

Dear Ann Landers: I am employed at a very fine department store. They give all employes a generous discount of 20 per cent on all purchases. I have a neighbor who pesters me almost every week to put something through on my account. At first, it was only for her, now it's for her mother, her daughter, and her sister. This has become a nuisance because the charges go through my bill and this woman has a poor memory.

On two occasions she insisted the purchases were not made for her. Later she "remembered." Last month I had trouble collecting the money. Is there a gracious way to get out of this? I don't want to be bothered any ST. LOUIS BLUES Dear Saint What you have been doing is dishonest and it could ccst you your discount privileges. Knock it off and don't worry about being gracious.

You need this woman's friendship like you need a case of scalp eczema. Dear Ann Landers: Please, Ann, put something in your column about people who drag four- and five-year-olds to funerals. I realize sitters are hard to get during school hours, and they cost money, but surely some kind neighbor could take a youngster or two to help a mother when she must attend a funeral. I just returned from my aunt's funeral. Two small children ran up and down the aisle, yelling and fighting.

I was afraid they might upset the baskets of flowers. A third youngster cried throughout the service and the minister finally asked the mother to take the child Out. Your column is read like the Bible in many homes. Please continue to give people the guidance they can't get anywhere else. STILL MAD Dear Still: Young children do not belong at funerals.

DEARFOLKS: When my husband and I lived in the Orient, we lots of delicious tempura. I've had many restaurants give me their "authentic" recipes, but after coming home and testing them umpteen times, I was never able to make that lovely batter. But now I'm going to tell you something I just discovered quite by accident while trying to salvage a can 01 salmon after testing another recipe. My husband calls it "SALMON HELOISE" I started off with a No. 1 can (approximately'16 oz.) of pink salmon.

I poured the juice into a plass and set it I added one whole egg to the salmon, enough flour to make it thick (approximately half cup) and took fork and mixed it all up. I did NOT add any salt. When this wouldn't do what the recipe said it would, I thought, "Oh no, not another can of salmon wasted." I knew I could not add baking powder to my thick mixture and beat It because it just will not work in evenly. I happened to spy that little glass of salmon juice which I had saved. Now, here's the arnazinf? discovery I made: I took one-fourth cup of the juice which I had drained from the can of salmon and added one HEAPING teaspoon of baking powder, then mixed It with a fork.

It foamed up Immediately like big white caps on an ocean wave. I quickly dumped this Into my thick salmon mixture and stirred it with a fork. Since the mixture was now no thin it wouldn't shape Into halls, I picked up two Iced teaspoons, dipped a rounded spoonful of the mixture in one and scooped it out with the other one Into a deep fryer half full of hot olL (Be sure to use Iced teaspoons. You only want a small amount.) And, gals, the scoops of batter don't have to be perfect! Xtie "crookedler" thuy are the better These tidbits don't even have to be turned. They will float on top of the hot oil! They turn themselves over they cook and are completely done in just a few seconds.

Your iuscioUH brown will look If you have dipped them Into secret, time-con- suming, lacy batter and the crust browns beautifully. Another funny thing about it is they aren't greasy. All I can figure out is the effervescence (bubbles) which I got from the mixture of the salmon juice and the baking- powder (why, we never figured out) seems to be what makes them light, lacy and crunchy just like true oriental tempura. When you look at your completed tidbit, you can actually see a lace design on the outside. This is the best part of It Most amazing thing I ever saw! This batter CANNOT be made ahead of time and saved.

It must be cooked within 15 minutes after mixing In the baking powder and juice. So don't hesitate to splurge on a can of salmon. SALMON HELOISE will absolutely melt in your mouth with a delicious crunch. The outside crust will be as lacy as fine old Atencon. It's not only quick to make, but cooks In seconds and Is quite Inexpensive In the long run because It expands and expands and Heloise P.S.

And you know what else? They're even great cold the next day. And what housewife doesn't like a quickie good lunch most days? DEAR HELOISE: I put cup hooks on the side molding of every window about two feet from the top to catch my draw drape cords. The draperies cover the hooks, and I no longer have to fumble in the drapes for the cords. R.
