Clavejack (UR) A 75-pound buck deer was trapped yesterday, but this time man was friend instead of hunter. State police were called to rescue the animal, which was itrapped on a nearby lake as ice i broke beneath his feet. A state trooper and a game protector 'broke a one-mile channel In the jicy lake to reach the deer by iboat. The animal was lassoed, roped in the boat and hauled back to shore. The men took the deer to a pasture before freeing him, to make sure he didn't go for another walk on the ice, GOOD KID Baltimore Mrs.

He was wearing a tie. Spillane has made a reputation as a T-shirted Hemingway.

I wondered if the more formal attire was because he has turned actor. He is playing himself in a circus picture, "Ring of Fear." The author scoffed at the idea. "If I think maybe a restaurant will make a big issue about my wearing a coat and tie, I wear one," he explained. "I'm a conformist in certain respects. "But I still hate having anything tight around my neck.

They- have me wearing a uit throughout this picture. It's stupid. My friends will laugh at me when they see me all dressed up. I do a fight scene tomorrow and I'm going to tell them I skip the suit or I'll walk out," WON'T USE NAPKIN Spillane refuses to conform in other respects. He cast aside his napkin wtih the explanation: 'Never use em.

They're always in the wrong place to catch food, anyway." I We talked about his acting' career, and he said he had done i the as a lark. He doesn't in tend to continue as an actor. For one thing, he hates Hollywood. "It's too hot here." he said. "I don't mind it in the summer, dui i can i siana Deing so warm me winter, ine aay inis pic ture is over, 1 11 be putting my family in my hot rod and head-1 ing back to my home in New-burgh, N.

Y. It'll be great to get back into the cold weather. You feel alive back there." Spillane had few kind words for Hollywood movies. CALLS WRITERS HACKS "Most of them are terrible," he remaraked. "I went to that one called 'Come Back, Little Sheba' expecting to see a picture about the queen of Sheba.

It was nothing like that. I tried to walk out of it, but my wife wouldn't go. So I joined the rest of the husbands in the lobby until the picture was over. "Most of the film writers here are hacks, pure hacks. The plotting of the pictures is ridiculous.

I could write better stories without half-trying." Spillane was bitterest about the filming of his own story, the Jury." "I went to the picture and walked out after the first 15 minutes, he said. "It was putrid. I went back to see the picture five different times, trying to figure out the plot. I never was able to. They loused up my story but good." His personal comments about the makers of the film could never be printed, even in hi? own books.

LOVES CIRCUS PEOPLE He carried on about other subjects, such as Hollywood night clubs, which he hates, and circus people, whom he loves. Underneath the veneer of to'ughness, you get an occasional glimpse of a pretty nice guy. He talks about being a stern disciplinarian with hi? children, but he admits being very fond of them. "Why work all the time?" he philosophized. "I made some money, now I'm going to spend it and enjoy life with my wife and kids.

Most people wait all their lives to enjoy their money, then it's too late. me. Money was made to spend. "I haven't written a book in two years. I've only written seven in my life, although people think I've done more.

Sure, my publishers would love to have me grind them out and make a fast buck off me. I can't see it that way. I sec no reason to burn myself out." AUHV ENDS ili9J T0NITE 'Mogambo' Color 'Mr. Scoutmaster Tues. Wed.

'The 5,000 Fingeri of Dr. Color 'My Darllne Clementine' ENDICOTT NOW PLAYING JOTCHANDlfft BARIIYN MAXWELL ANTHONY QUINN GAOTOF PLUS wmammt By HAL BOYLE Associated Press Writer New York Time has lifted the lid on another Pandora's box the year 1954. Peek as hard as you will, you till can't tell for sure all that lies waiting for you in the darkness Inside. One thing is sure.

Hope is there a great hope, the luminous possibility of more peaceful times. A foreegst of lower Income taxes Is somewhat offset by an-otner forecast that many people won't make as much money either. The effect of this on the ulcer population is still unclear. Rome people get ulcers worrying because they have so much money; others get them because they feel they don't have enough. Ir Some fields, of course, a man today Is known by the ulcers he keeps.

They are a form of income. The big problem for these men Is whether it la better to tako their worry pay In the form of one big ulcer or two small but active ones. SIDE EFFECTS GOOD If the slight economic downturn now predicted does take place in 1954, it could have a number of side effects good for us as a people. Prosperity that comes to a man too easily often makes him Into a stuffed shirt, pompous, fat-headed and unappreclative. He takes the finer things of life for granted, assumes them as a natural right or a tribute to his ability, even though in fact they merely floated to him on a rising tide of national wealth and good times.

Poverty creates Its fair share of snobs, too, but never in auch numbers as prosperity that comes swiftly and with little real sweat. Sweat rarely makes a snob. The American people are medically estimated to be carrying around now more than pounds of excess weight harmful to their health. A doctor might say that most of this fat Is concentrated around the waist. FATHEAD DANGEROUS A philosopher would say there Is even more unnecessary fat between the ears, and it is this fat that should be burned up first.

A fathead Is always more dangerous to an Individual and to a society than a plump midriff. I There Is some truth to the criticism of many foreigners that prosperity has gone to our head and we have too little sympathy for the hardships of less wealthy lands. It is true despite the fact we have freely given away more billions to other countries than any nation In history. A forced tightening of our belt one notch in 1954 could do us some good as a people, spiritually as well as physically. No one who lived through the last depression could look forward with equanimity to a return of such hard times, but no such prospect appears in the picture for this year.

We will go on buy ing our apples in the stores, and not from street corner peddlers. JOB IS IMPORTANT But even a small Increase in the unemployment rolls should remind us that the job we hold, though naturally far below our sterling merits, is after all a job and a paying job. The working man feels about his job during a recession like a eombat soldier does about his life in wartime it never seems so important until It looks like he might lose it. And suddenly it is a dear thing of tremendous vaJue. If the average man finds he has a few fewer dollars to toss around In 1954, he is likely to use them more wisely and be more grateful for what he has.

That is the odd thing about gratitude. A thing taken for granted adds nothing to your happiness. But when you appreciate something at its true worth it gives a deeper meaning to your own existence.

m. tomorrow. quarters at the Andover Bar- MARA LANE By ALINE MOSBY United Press Writer Hollywood Mara Lane, billed as England's version of Marilyn Monroe, has been imported by star-maker Howard Hughes, but, she revealed today, she turned down the chance to Join his list of stars. Hughes, via low-cut billboards and busy publicity, has hoisted to fame such beauties as Jean Harlow and Jane Russell. But the brunette Mara said she doesn't want to take the chance of joining other Hughes stars such as Faith Domergue and Ursula Theiss, who got the buildup but few roles.

"I am doing one picture for RKO, 'Susan Slept but I turned down the long-term contract," said Mara in her clipped English accent. OTHERS WANT HER "I want to work. I'd love to stay in Hollywood if I get good parts. But I do not want to sign a contract with RKO or any other studio. I like it here.

I met some supposed wolves but they turned out not to be." So far the chances of Mara invading the inner sanctum of Hollywood glory are warm. Warner and Paramount studios want to test her. Miss Lane, who has a background of roles In eight English films, turned out not to resemble Marilyn after all. Despite her tag as the tea-and-fog Monroe, she looks more like a sexier Elizabeth Taylor to me. But Mara, fluffing her short, black curls, said she doesn't want to be compared to anyone.

SCHOOLED IN N. Y. CITY "I'm not like Marilyn or Elizabeth, reahlly," she said. "That's a disadvantage to be compared to someone. I was called the Marilyn Monroe of England after I played a Judy Holliday type role in an English film." Mara can conveniently, or inconveniently, lapse into an American accent.

She was born in Austria and lived in Russia but went to high school in New York before moving to London. Her real name is Dorothy Bolton. The curvaceous actress Is the latest in the long procession of Marilyn Monroes around town. Marilyn single-handedly revived sex on the silver screen, and now every studio is rushing to sign a bosomy, curly-haired doll who can pose for pictures with her full lower lip hanging down. Sanitarium Founder Dies Rochester (P) Dr.
