"I told Greg when we were married that I was willing to give up my career," she said. "He was very nice about it and told me to do what I thought was best. I do feel that it's not fair to him to try to combine career with marriage." But what about her studio? She has a contract with 20th Century-Fox.

NOW Appoint 'Awards' Chairman 1 1 I Cagney Hard At Work On Lon Chaney Makeups By JOE HYAMS 1 New York Herald Tribune News Service Mickey Cohen who recently became a florist is now becoming an author and is writing his autobiography entitled, "The Poison Has Left Me." The title Implies a change in Cohen's personality so we arranged for an interview to see the "new Mickey." The old Mickey was the reluctant star of Sen. Estes Kerauver's crime investigation comittmee. The senator accused Cohen of being at the end of every trail of West Coast gambling.

Mr. Cohen, was also investigated by five other government committees, he has been shot at 10 times and bombed once. He recently served a three years, eight months and 11 days of a five-year sentence for income tax evasion. We met Cohen, an extremely dapper little men wearing a tan silk suit, worried smile and ingratiating personality, at a ringside table in a Hollywood nightclub. Our interview was conducted in the proprietor's office.

Then he "came home" a year ago, Cohen said, all he had left was his wife of 16 years, LaVonne, and 600 pairs of socks, 80 or 90 suits, 24 topcoats and a few dozen hats of all types, left over from the haberdashery business operated as a front for his gambling activities. Everything stocked in the store was Cohen's size. 11 wasn't home five minutes when I received a call from ter-tam parties who said they were keeping business going for me," Cohen said. "I told them I wasn't interested. That I didn't want anything.

I was going into a completely different activity. I was grateful for their interest but I knew I had to change my ways." Cohen first attempted to go into the restaurant business in Los Angeles but was dissuaded by the hullabaloo raised when his plans were announced. "Everyone including the governor got in the act," he said. "Then these friends of mine in the tropical plant business came up with a legitimate proposition. I don't know a plant from a boxing glove but I was interested.

We're doing fine. The business, called Michael's Tropical Plants, Michael Cohen, Proprietor, consists of five greenhouses on' South Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles. Cohen said he suffered financially by going legitimate but has no complaints. "Look. Let's put it this way," he said.

The prediction (or does he know) which will interest millions of voters was the answer to a thought question of a woman, selected at random, who stood up in the audience. Yes, he'll win," Dunninger laughed, as the woman with amazement, "I like Ike too!" Even the Democrats present applauded that as well as many other "proofs" that mental telepathy- is here to stay. Topping thought-reading of the evening was when Dun.

stinger called off the combinations of locked safe on the stage, numbers known only to one man. When opened as directed, Dunninger described the contents of wrapped packages in the safe known only to a prominent bank official and Soroptimist Club member. Questions written on 'pieces of paper by hundreds in the audience and placed in sealed envelopes provided chief tests of Dunninger's wizardry. One by one he called out the questions. When the perplexed questioner stood up the mentalist answered.

Some answers were rather embarrassingas for instance: "Nothe sucker won't buy you that coat." There may or may not be a scientific explanation for these amazing demonstrations. Who cares. It's a lively and astonishing program which is sure to entertain the most skeptical skeptic. ,10 0 ''''''') ...5. zr- 0:.

He bought a car back home in California earlier this summer which he hasn't even had a chance to break In yet. Now he has another car, the $4,500 Chevrolet Corvette presented to him by the editors of "Sport" magazine as a Top Performer Award. Al Rogliano, who made the presentation on the part of the Magazine's editors, says this Is only the beginning.

From now on any player who pitches a perfect game will get such a car from "Sport." Which, considering the record, makes Rogliano just about as generous a sport as Jack Benny. Whitey Ford is still flushed with victory too. Ribbing Larsen, with victory too. Ribing Larsen, Whitey said, when Stengel asked him to go in and pitch following the no-hitter, 'Tether, I'd father not. I don't want to throw another no-hitter and take the lustre away from Don!" Just as Eugenia Sheppard's front page Trib story broke, quoting the Duchess of Windsor as calling the annual list of the world's ten best dressed women phony, NS'ally was sitting in the Oub Room of the Stork looking like one of the world's ten best dressed women.

Sitting with the Duke an Duchess was another member of royalty, currently reigning as Queen of the Palace, Judy Garlandwith her husband, Sid Luft, and the Windsors' constant companion, Charley Cushing. Cushing's name frequently pops up in this column as Harry Cushing which must be a typographical error because he insists his name is Charley. It may be my imagination but both IS'ally and Windsor look and act and seem to feel younger than Springtime. Their conversation is animated, their eyes sparkle, they're quick to laugh and quicker to quip. NOW PLAYING in 4 Theatres!
