People in the news Bing's daughter misses dad now NEW \ ORK (AP' Mary Crosby says her decision to live with a man before marriage would have caused her father great pain had he lived. But she says she wishes Bing Crosby was alive to share her happiness now. In a copyright interview in the July issue of McCall’s magazine, the 20-year-old daughter of the late crooner said Crosby once “painted himself into a corner” in telling an interviewer he would disown his daughter if she ever made such a decision. "I'm grateful that 1 never had to use one of Daddy’s greatest lessons to me that there is a time to be selfish in a way that would have hurt him, hurt us both, in those last years of his life," said Miss Crosby, who is now married and a member of CBS-TV’s “Dallas” cast. "My one regret is that Daddy isn’t here to share the tremendous joys of my life right now,” she said. “1 would have confronted him with my decision and ... and 1 believe his love and trust would have eventually won out over his anger." • LOS ANGELES (AP) Citing irreconcilable differences, singer-actress Carol Lawrence is suing singer Robert Goulet for divorce after nearly 17 years of marriage. In a Los Angeles Superior Court petition filed Tuesday, the 47-year-old Mrs. Goulet demanded custody of the couple's two teen-age sons and sought spousal support. She also asked for possession of various household items including a painting by comedian Red Skelton from the Goulets’ homes in Nevada, Massachusetts and Wyoming. Wed on Aug. 12,1963, the pair separated a year ago. It was the second marriage for both Carol Lawrence won fame on the Broadway stage for her portrayal of the fiery Maria in Leonard Bernstein’s musical. "West Side Story.” Goulet, 46, also achieved prominence on Broadway as Sir Lancelot in the original stage version of the musical, “Camelot.” • If actor Robert Young picked up a few hospital tips from portraying television’s Dr. Marcus Welby, it certainly has paid off. Young’s personal physician, Dr. Eduardo Ricaurte, said the actor was expected to stay at the Franciscan Medical Center, Rock Island, 111., five weeks when he was admitted about 2 1 2 weeks ago for depression and high blood pressure. RICAURTE SAID YOUNG, 73, was suffering from a hereditary “chemical depression” that makes him appear “dispirited, decelerated, joyless, unmotivated.” However, a spokesman for Ricaurte said Young’s condition has improved quickly. “He is much better-very, very much better,” the spokesman at Ricaurte’s office said. Hospital officials said Young and his 70-year-old wife, Betty, are in “good condition” and plan to leave the hospital Monday. Mrs. Young was treated after she became depressed because her husband was ill, officials said. • BURBANK, Calif. (AP) on the “Tonight Show.” Johnny Carson, back in form as he ribbed politicians, television programming and the city of Burbank, returned Wednesday as host of NBCTV’s late-night talk show, saying he felt “spectacular” following hospitalization for a blocked artery. During taping, the 54-year-old star also poked fun at his sixday stay at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he underwent a non-surgical procedure to alleviate the blockage in his left leg. “Going to the hospital is a real experience,” he quipped. “It’s no place to be when you’re sick.” Carson also told his studio audience and millions watching on television that he was grateful for all the cards, letters and telegrams he had received. • LONDON (AP) A winner of the 1976 Nobel Peace Price was S6O poorer Wednesday for having been anything but peaceful. Betty Williams, 37, who shared the award with Mairead Corrigan after they founded North Ireland’s Peace People movement, had the fine imposed in Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court. It was her missing a plane home May 1 that landed her there. “Mrs Williams became extremely agitated and upset and started banging her fist on the desk,” prosecutor Clive Moore said, addihe also shouted four-letter words while trying to push past a policeman to board the plane for Belfast. In her defense, lawyer Sheron Bedell-Pearce declared that the Nobel laureate was returning from a speaking tours she hd had no sleep for 36 hours and was tired out from the rigors of her tour,’ the lawyer said. “She became distraught and behaved in a way that was utterly uncharacteristic ...”

Opening lead king of clubs. If a contract can be made only when the defenders’ cards are divided in a certain way, declarer must play for that distribution to exist. He lays his plans accordingly, and dismisses other distributions from his mind. Here is a typical case. West leads the king of clubs, won in dummy with the ace. The situation is far from promising, since it is theoretically possible to lose three hearts, a club and a diamond. However, there is a good chance that West, who

NANCY MARCHAND: 'Bicoastal' The strains that tug on pertormers are great, sometimes reaching from the West Coast, where they make television, to Broadway, where they stage live plays. Usually, it is a matter of choosing, to work in California or to work in New York, and that can be a very difficult choice. For instance, Judd Hirsch, acclaimed in the current “Talley’s Folly,” must leave the hit show after the June 22 matinee to return to taping his "Taxi" series in Los Angeles. As for Nancy Marchand, she will have her cake and eat it. Miss Marchand, who is co-starring in “Morning’s At Seven," which just won a Tony as Broadway’s best revival, is also a star of “Lou Grant,” the television series that has started taping on the West Coast for its fall season. Determined not to abandon her role on stage. Miss Marchand is following a trail-blazing commuter schedule that takes her from live to tape. Elizabeth McCann, a co-producer of “Morning’s,” said that Miss Marchand has to give the television people nine days a month but that since "Morning’s” is dark on Mondays, it could happen that very few days of Broadway performances would be missed. “I don’t know how the traveling will work with me because I haven’t started it yet," said Miss Marchand. “I live in New York and I commuted for the first season of Lou Grant’ while I was teaching at Juiliiard. Because teaching’s an everyday job with classes and faculty meetings, it didn’t work out so well. 1 wasn’t doing good teaching. But this is different. “The Wright Brothers have provided us with a lovely way to travel. I’m becoming not a bionic woman but a bicoastal woman." • COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A tanned and relaxed Buster Crabbe, seventh in an endless series of movie Tarzans, has let some of Ohio’s senior citizens in on a secret about Tarzan’s famous yell. Crabbe said neither he nor the legendary Johnny Weissmuller, moviedom’s first talking Tarzan, ever gave a successful rendition of Tarzan’s jungle call. “At first it was three voices,” he said of the Tarzan yell. “The studio put together a baritone, a bass and a hog caller... “Finally they settled on a version by Tom Held, a film cutter who happened to be my father-in-law.” • NEW YORK (AP) All that time in the air is taking its toll on Broadway’s longest-running “Peter Pan,” says actress Sandy Duncan. Miss Duncan, whose matinee performance Wednesday marked her 321st show in the starring role, told the Daily News she doesn’t know if she’ll be back after her upcoming honeymoon with dancer Don Correia. “They want me to tour with the show or even do it at the Palladium in London,” she was quoted as saying. “Both ideas intrigue me, especially London. “But this has been a long run and while I love doing the show, the flying sequences take a lot out of you. It’s hard on my back, although I see a chiropractor regularly.” A show press agent said Miss Duncan, who has lasted longer in the part than Mary Martin in 1954, has flown 45.7 miles in the show. • CLEVELAND (AP) Cleveland television station WKYCTV says it has received a letter appearing to be from bank robber “Fast Eddie” Watkins. Only now he calls himself “Slowed Down Eddie.” Watkins is being held here on $150,000 bond on charges he committed bank robberies in Los Angeles and Cleveland following an April prison break near Atlanta. The 61-year-old man was wounded during his capture June 6 near Lodi after a standoff of nearly nine hours with the FBI and state and local law enforcement agencies. In Tuesday’s missive, “Slowed Down Eddie” wrote that he “sort of broke my word in that I would not be taken alive, but how was I to know the ‘hit men’ were such terrible shooters?” Watkins, who spent 39 of his 61 years behind bars, escaped from a federal prison in Atlanta on April 29. He claims to have netted $1.5 million in 55 bank heists and 125 other escapades.

overcalled, has the king of diamonds, in which case one loser can be lopped off. Furthermore, dummy’s fourth diamond offers the prospect of saving still another trick. But this latter possibility is somewhat complicated by the built-in block in diamonds. Thus, suppose declarer draws trumps right away and leads the diamond queen. Whether West plays the king on this trick or the next, South finds it impossible to utilize dummy’s fourth diamond and he goes down one. This threatening complication should start South on a train of thought that will lead him to the proper solution. He

should cash the Q-J of trumps and then lead the queen of diamonds, leaving one trump at large. It does not matter whether or not West covers; in either event South cashes three diamonds in succession. As it happens, West does not have the missing trump to ruff the third diamond and South makes the contract, since he can now enter dummy with a trump and discard a loser on the nine of diamonds. It is true that declarer runs the risk of the second or third diamond lead being ruffed, but, because making the contract is his primary consideration, he plays the hand on the basis that the winning distribution actually exists.
