But lie has never been inside it.

He confirmed that long-circulated rumor in a rare personal inter- iew, sitting in his inexpensive, 4- year-old car on a darkened airfield a driving rain. His own story: "I have never jeen in the place." In a quarter century in and around Hollywood, Hughes hasn't given a handful of interviews or press conferences. Occasionally, a reporter gets to talk with him, as I have, but it's a casual meet- ng, accidental, brief but pleasant. So when you write about the abulous life of this multimillion- ire, you do it largely without his help. The dark, rain-drenched setting (for this interview sounds typical of the way Hughes always tries to keep in the shadows.

But it wasn't. He was planning to fly out' of town, so the airport was a convenient spot. He wanted to talk about some of the stories which have grown up around him--and which he or his corps of press agents never took the trouble to deny. In fact, ARCADIA, Wis.

"And Janet Leigh's costumes will not be out of style. She plays a Russian flier in the movie." Although she was an unknown when film was made, Hughes says jshe hasn't appeared to better advantage in any movie since. Hollywood often thinks of Hughes as a grim, ruthless, domineering man. But talking to him over the rain, he was charming, easy-going, laughing heartily and often, Laughs at Tales He laughs most at the tales about him which don't involve his bus- iness judgment.

"The tin bands keep the squirrels and rats from getting at the food. We don't have too much trouble with squirrels."

I St. Louis and will continue to do (so until the customers decide otherwise," Hughes said. The film's premiere run started Dec. 29, and is scheduled to tomorrow.

A police morality squad cited two scenes as objectionable, but authorities took no action. Hughes maintains that "The Outlaw" was never cut a foot. It was given a (or condemned) rating by the Legion of Decency on its first release. Hughes later agreed to revisions which made it rating, or morally objectionable in part. He says the revisions pertained only to advertising.

"Today, Jan. 21, 1954 Al Young, chief of police and assistant fire chief at Black River Falls, began his 15th year befriending the wild game birds of Jackson County. With the thermometer hovering at about 25 degrees below zero Young started out on his route which embraces half of Jackson County, driving Nelson Tucker's Model A Fqrd coupe which according to its owner "can go through any kinds of roads and weather." "Young had tied to the car eight feeders and 500 pounds of especial- iy prepared feed. The game bird i feeders were built and supplied by the Black River Falls Sportsmen's Club of which Al is a very active! member. The feed, a mixture of cracked corn, wheat, grits and sometimes buckwheat which is made up by local mills for the purpose, is supplied jointly by the Sportsmen's Club and the Wisconsin Conservation Department.

The gasoline and time used by Young is donated by Young entirely without reimbursement and the only reason he gives for it is that he loves to hunt and knows that unless someone does this job, the fine hunting he has had in the past and looks forward to in the future, would not be possible. He further realizes that the abundance of a game species occurs only when the food supply is virtually unlimited Hereford Bull Gets Glass Eye HALEYVILLE, Ala. tfV-A one- eyed Hereford bull is headed "for the show ring with a movable glass eye that matches his good one.

"A food deficiency of just a few days during a northern winter may be decisive in determining the number of birds left for breeding in the spring. It is his custom to service feeders at the northern and western edges of the city, one near the depot, four off Highway 54 en route south toward Melrose near Black River; two in the Disco territory, two in Pete Coulee, one in Skutley Coulee, one in Oakland Hills, one in Curran Valley and one in Shady Glen. "The one thing Al would like to accomplish this year is to get someone with a good telescopic lens to accompany him and get some good pictures of the birds when they are feeding."
