Today the Simmons Company makers of Simmons beds and mattresses is the world's biggest: 10 plants in the United States, including one in Munster, and 10 abroad.

The first members of Simmons' family (Zalmon) got Americans off slatted beds and onto bed springs in the late 1800s. The second Simmons (also Zalmon) took Americans off solid mattresses and put them on coiled springs. The third Simmons (Grant was responsible, more than any one, for twin beds and convertible day time sofas. T-JERE is a pleasant little game that will give you a message every day.

the number four Simmons is going one better. He is bent on giving America bedroom comfort in the living room. TAKING HIS cue from our habits of TV gazing, reading, social gabbing, he is making upholstered furniture with a new suspension idea a torsion device that adjusts to a person's weight and size and pushing sleep into the main room of the house. Tail, lean, handsome Grant Jr. he is a carbon of movie actor Randolph Scott never thought he would end in the family business.

"I was going to be a chemist or he says. "Then halfway through Yale I thought I would be a banker." But it didn't turn out that way. Grant joined the Navy instead, was promptly shipped off to manage the big naval ai supply station in Brazil. OUT OF THE Navy with lieutenant's stripes in 1945, Grant Jr. decided to work into the family Disk Makers Turn Out Jazz Numbers for Hi-Fi Listeners By PRESTON McCRAW United Press International The impossibility of reproducing jazz good jazz properly on the phonograph motivated the purchase of thousands of high fidelity rigs.

So record companies spend a lot of effort and ingenuity trying to sell jazz to high fidelity listeners. When MGM decided to introduce cord and his knowledge, he became president. Grant Simmons' most obvious characteristic is a relaxed and patient manner. Asked how he keeps it under the tension of modern business, he grins, "I get it ITS TRUE. Grant watches birds for fun.

He is a lifetime member of the National Audubon Society and the American Ornithologist Union. Grant will sit patiently for hours in a salt marsh or inland swamp, hoping to spot a rare specimen on the wing. An avid reader, Grant studies reports and keeps up with industry news in trade papers and the Wall Street Journal during his daily commute to and from Greenwich, Conn. He catches the 7:48 to Grand Central after getting up at 6:30 and "waking up all the children and my wife." HIS PLANS FOR Simmons Co. expansion are daring and original.

Acting upon a shrewd analysis of the upholstered furniture market, Grant has departed from key policies that have characterized Simmons for years. Instead of central warehouse distribution, he will distribute from local plants, instead of a diversity of retail outlets, he will select stores for their merchandising abilities. In his own quiet way, Grant Jr. has set an 88-year-old business on a revolutionary orbit. Trade gossip is he will keep it going fo: a long time.

Hopkins-Taylor version will make you want to live. Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse Band, a pot-boiler for major jazz companies for many years, now has its own label and is off to a good start with "Jazz Rolls Royce" (Lighthouse CS-300). Rumsey features compositions and arrangements by Bob Cooper, an outstanding tenor saxophonist, Cooper not only blows a cool sax on the six numbers but solos on the oboe in a lyrical exposition of "Prelude to the Queen." Modern jazz buffs will flip over "Jazz Impressions of Eurasia" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet Columbia CL-1251). Dave has been doing a good job as musical ambassador and cast truly meets west in his groupings of six extended numbers, including "Nomad" and "Calcutta Blues." IX "HOORAY for Bix" (Riverside 12-26), cornetist Carl Halen captures the tonal beauty of the Beiderbecke horn in an almost uncanny manner. Band leader Marty Grosz doubles as guitarist and vocalist in this section of 12 tunes, among them "For No Reasons at All in and "Sorry." Jazz music for all tastes can be heard on "Popular Jazz Gold Album" (Capitol T-1034).

Best numbers are Jess Stacy's "Can't We Be Friends," Jack Teagarden's "After You're Gone" and Jonah Jones' "Rose Room." One of the most important of jazz movies, "I Want to Live," starring Susan Hayward. yields two excellent soundtrack LP's. Top-notch musicians such as Shelly Manne are featured in the big band LP (United Artists UAL-4005) while the small combo, which shows off Manne and Gerry Mulligan, presents such fine Johnny Mandell compositions, as "Night Watch" and "Frisco Club" (United Artists UAL-4006).

business after all from the lowest factory rung upward. Starting with a stop-watch in the time study department 12 years ago, he went through various production departments. First pay check: $40 a week. His factory experience gave him an insight into problems of production workers and he eventually became head of industrial relations. the tune on three new World Pacific records; the music has a modern sound.

THE THREE new ones are "Let's Face the Music and Dance" (WP-1250), with singer David Allen; "Pretty Groovy" (WP-1249), with the Chet Baker Quartet and Quintet; and "I'll Take Romance" (WP-1251), with alto sax man and flutist Bud Shank with the Len Mercer strings. Kenyon Hopkins, composer of many brilliant movie scores, has a keen sense of humor. He proves it in "Shock" (ABC-Paramount 259), one of the best offbeat LP's offered in months. The jacket cautions, "Don't dare listen to this music alone." Once the record begins spinning, it's evident that there's nothing to be afraid of the music should be shared with other listeners. From the beginning of "Heartbeat" to the ending of "So Peaceful in the Country," the Creed Taylor orchestra apparently has a hilarious time ribbing the horror theme that is so prevalent in the movies and on television.

OXE OF the best numbers is Hopkins' arrangement of "Gloomy Sunday," a melancholy melody that caused a wave of suicides in Europe about 20 years ago. The NEW YORK (AP Ever have trouble coping with your teenager? How would you like it if he were a genius? "It's not easy," says Mrs. Regina Fischer of Brooklyn. Her 15-year-old son, Bobby, is a genius at chess. He won the United States championship at 14 and became the youngest international Grand Master in history this summer.

His one dream is to snatch the world chess crown from the present champion, Russia's Mikhail Botvinnik. OXE OF Mrs. Fischer's definitely "not easy" moments came this summer when Bobby appeared to be stranded in Yugoslavia after his first international tournament. "He had a round trip ticket, but nobody made any reservations for him and he couldn't get a plane. I knew he'd spent most of his money at the World Fair in Belgium and I was afraid the Yugoslav Chess Federation wouldn't go on paying for Jiim after the tournament had ended.

"I went to the Yugoslav Embassy but it was the weekend and I couldn't find anybody. I tried to call Bobby, but they said he had left by train. "I was really worried. I knew he was loaded down with books and I didn't see how he could manage. He doesn't speak the languages.

I could just see him sleeping in a train station somewhere and people stealing everything he had." But Bobby used his tournament prize money to get to Munich where he found plane space home. CHESS IS not a popular game and there are no funds to send the American champion to tournaments. Bobby won two tickets to Yugoslavia on a television program. His 21-year-old sister, Joan, took the second. "Bobby doesn't like the idea of his mother going around with him to tournaments.

Besides, I figured it would be better for me to be here in case anything was needed money, primarily." She laughed ruefully a slender, dark-haired woman with a smiling mouth in a gamine face. The Fischers separated when Bobby was 2 and Mrs. Fischer raised her two children on her earnings as a nurse. "I don't discipline Bobby. He's SAVE for the too big.

Anyway, there's much say. He comes home and sticks his nose in a chess book, stops to eat, and he's back again until it's time to go to bed. "BOBBY'S OXE of the ones who play for blood as they say in chess. He's serious. He has to study all the time.

The countries publish pamphlets and books at a great rate new openings always being worked out. "He's not interested in girls yet they don't play chess. He doesn't smoke or drink. He does chew his nails down to the bone, but I'm afraid to make him stop. I don't know what he might take up.

"Some of these chess players twitch all over. Honest. They start with an eye and twitch down to their feet and start again. I'd rather he chewed his nails." THE OXLY thing I do is nag him to get some fresh air. This year he's joined the and says he's going to get in better physical shape.

"He used to be wonderful at sports in fact, he himself used to say he wanted to be a baseball player. "I don't know a thing about chess. In fact, I tried to make him stop for four years. But I've given up now." IRON RAILINGS BY PIERCE SEE OUR DISPLAY ROOM PIERCE IRON WORKS ST. JOHN, IN0.
