Los Angeles. Stole the Show Her ascent to fame came accidentally when a press agent managed to get her on a publicity junket to Florida for a Jane Russell movie. She happily posed for photographers in a skimpy red bikini and stole the show from Miss Russell and other glamor girls on the trip. This brought her a contract at Warner Bros.

After a few small roles, she struck it rich in a Broadway show "Will Success Spoil Rock 1 in which she made a startling Impression attired solely in a towel. After the run of the play 20th Century-Fox hired her for the film version in which she gave an impersonation of the studio's reigning star Marilyn Monroe. The studio groomed her as a threat to the temperamental. Miss Monroe but Jayne claimed: "Marilyn and I have certain points in common, but actually are entirely different persons." Caricature Hsr style seemed to be almost a caricature of the open moulhed, insinuating Monroe style, and she slithered through such films as "The Wayward Bus," "The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw," "Too Hot to Handle," and "It Happened in Athens." Miss Mansfield early evinced a passion for publicity. She posed indefatigably in all varieties of dress and undress and her figure was to photographers.

Her personal life also provided grist for the columnists. She was married at 16 to a public relations man, Paul Mansfield, and was divorced early in-her career. A romance with muscleman Mickey Hargitay was widely publicized at a time when he was appearing in West's night club act. Miss West huffily fired Hargitay because of the publicity and the pair was married in 1956. Her most recent film was "Panic Button." Miss Mansfield, 33, had a Beverly Hills mansion, a lucrative career--and a pack of personal troubles.

Several months ago she filed a suit against a Southern California animal compound in which her 6-year- old son Zoltan Hargitay was mauled by a lion. The beast slashed the boy's neck and head, but the boy survived after several trips to the operating table. A few days ago her 16-year- old, daughter Jayne Marie Mansfield turned herself in to West Los Angeles police covered with welts and bruises. She said a male friend of her mother beat her.

Now it billion annually. One million people were getting help from Washington for their medical costs five years ago. Now, with medicare, the figure is eight minion. Just two years.ago, the federal government provided $130 million in grants for water and sewer'pro jecis around the country. Now it's $825 million.

These figures were given Wednesday by Charles L. Schultze, director of the Budget Bureau, as he told a Seriate subcommittee of expanding federal programs and the management problems they bring. Rock-Tossing Boys Down Helicopter CLIFTON Janice Francis, co-editor of the Clifton News- Tribune, had a hard item to write. But she handled it in the best tradition of the newspaper craft. It follows: "Dean Francis was taken to the St.

Joseph Hospital by the Clifton Ambulance Friday afternoon, after he somehow slipped and fell, with a grain auger catching his leg, while at work at the Gifton Grain Company elevator in Vining. At the hospital, it was found to be necessary to amputate his leg below the knee. "Editor's note: Contrary to rumors, the accident was not caused in any way by faulty equipment.

(Detailed forecasts, Pg. 2) By LARRY MATTHEWS Scrape the mud from your boots, give that combine another greasing, and don't let yourself become too discouraged. Those quarter inch rains which soaked your soggy wheat again Wednesday night could be the last for" a while. Welcome, drying sunshine should be on the Way. 'The Salina area wheat harvest, already reaching a critical situation because of steady rains which have prevented combines from entering the fields, was dampened again Wednesday night with more showers.

This time, the rains didn't pick just on the Salina area. Thnndershowters, some of them real downpours, occurred across most of the state. But the weather bureau offered a ray of hope Thursday. Forecasters are predicting clearing skies and good weather ahead for the next few days. That could be just what the wheat doctor ordered.

Not all the combines were quiet Wednesday in the Salina area, however. To the north, in areas missed by the Tuesday night showers, combines raced against time to bin as much Dear Sal: And to think that a few weeks ago we were worrying about the' long drouthl YWB, Ina wheat as possible. One of the more active farmers was Max Wolf of rural Ben- ningtcn. Using up to seven custom combines, Wolf managed to cut about 250 acres before the Wednesday night showers. Wolf said he couldn't be sure on the yield, although it may have been better than he expected.

He was working mostly on a half-section of poorer wheat. Other fields have yielded as high as 34 bushels per acre, and one could hit 40. "I've been pretty lucky," Wolf said Thursday. "I'm getting real good wheat, mostly Scout vari- ety. The freeze got quite a bit of the Early Triumph that was planted." Wolf estimates he now has cut about 700 acres of wheat, and has approximately 500 acres to go.

Also cutting Wednesday in the Bennington area was Bob Perry of Salina. Using five combines, Perry managed to complete about 100 acres. The combines, equipped with lights, worked far into the night. No yield estimates were available. The Bennington elevator Continued on Page 2 KANSAS CITY (AP) Three boys threw rocks at a helicopter Wednesday and brought it down.

The craft didn't crash but the pilot, Fritz Leamon of 9125 Catalina told police a stone broke the windsheld, forcing him to land in a vacant field. Leamon and Joe Messer of the Kansas City Power and Light Co. were flying just above power lines on an inspection trip when the youngsters hurled the rocks. Damage to the helicopter was estimated at $300. Didn't Pay To Scrub And Wax Kitchen Floor By SU BACON Have you ever scrubbed and waxed the floors only to have the dog track mud all over them? Or junior spill milk on them? Or maybe have your roof cave in on them? Mrs.

Vicki Johnson, 520 Russell, can tell you what it's like to have the latter happen. "Wednesday afternoon the ceiling began dripping and sagging, so I called a repairman," she relates. "But it was too late by then to save it." Because the ceiling was sagging oft the west side, she moved the furniture to the east side. But when the ceiling fell, it swung to the east and got the fumitore, anyway. Mrs.

Johnson blames the recent hail. It seems that when the hail melted, the water leaked through the attic into the insulation. Now she 5s waiting for the bedroom cteiling to go. In the meantime, the Johnson's have vacated the house and moved into a local motel. At the time the kitchen ceiling fell, Mrs.

Johnson's young granddaughter was in the living room. After she recovered from her initial fright, the youngster cried, "I didn't do it!" So the next time you plan to scrub and wax your floors, perhaps you'd first better consult the weather bureau. And then check yotr insulation. His Pants, Hopes Go Up in Smoke MIAMI, Fla. (AP)--For six years, Volume Dingle made a living pouring asphalt under the hot Miami sun.

He pinched his pennies and dreamed of the day when he would have a down payment on a house that would take him out of a Negro slum. Every week, Dingle salted away $6 in a deposit box at the Post office. In six years it added up to $1,800. Dingle took the money home Monday and told a real estate company to send a man out. But the agent couldn't come until Tuesday, so Dingle put the money in a pair of old work pants and hid them in his before going to work.

Ready to move to the new home, Dingle's wife cleaned house for the last tune. She found the old pants and threw them on the trash heap. 1 When Dingle got home and heard what had happened, he rushed outside. The trash had been removed. He searched the trash truck and the dump, talked to the truck driver.

No pants. Authorities believe they probably were burned, Tuesday was supposed to be moving day. For Dingle it was just another day of work, pouring asphalt under the hot sun..
