Home Arrangement Should Be Changed By GAY PAULEY United Press Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UP) — We women should change the decor of our homes as often as we change our wardrobes, says interior designer Russel Wright. “Too many women fall into the habit of static decorating. They become so used to an arrangement that they become insensitive to it, yet they wouldn’t think of playing a record over and over,” said Wright in an interview. “We become tired o fthings we love if we see them too much? Put such things as paintings, accessories and small rugs away for a while, and bring Out others to keep the freshness of a room alive,” he said. ::r: ~ ... : Changes Furnishings Often Wright changes furnishings in his Manhattan brownstone with every new season or large party. He plans to re-group his living room, now done in a Far Eastern motif for an Easter party, to focus on the garden outside a picture window. In fall, he will move everything around again. “This is exaggerated, because I have so many things to work with, but it illustrates the idea which women can use, even if they have only a small apartment,” he said.

Tumble Weed Star Os Movie Out Soon Unusual Film To Be Released Soon By VERNON SCOTT United Press Stiff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD <UP) — Star of a new movies to t>e released soon is Tumble Weed.Unlike other catchy monickers, weed comes by its name honestly. In the picture “T Is For Tumble weed,” the lead role is played by a sincere member of the tumbleweed family. Co - starred with the inanimate weed is fearfully animate Anne Lockhart, who also makes her debut in the film. Sitting in a booth in the Brown Derby for lunch, Anne, a pretty blonde with upturned nose, maintained her composure until a waiter pinched her on the cheek. She giggled happily, stood on her chair and attempted to return the affectionate gesture. Seated again, Anne was asked if she was excited about making her first picture- Without a word she slipped beneath the table and spent the better part of 15 minutes hiding there. Star Is Four Anne is four years old. She also is the daughter of actress June Lockhart and a fourth-generation performer. James Lebenthal, producer of the picture, hastened to explain: “Anne hasn’t been interviewed before. She’s just a little bit jumpy.” He then attempted to coax her topside with a lump of sugar. Inasmuch as his star was incommunicado, Lebenthal explained his unusual movie. “It is strictly a fantasy about the travels and adventures of a tumbleweed,” he said. "Something on the order of the ‘The Red Balloon’—giving personality to an inanimate subject. “The difference is our film is based on reality and treated as a documentary. Almost all of our footage was shot in Wagon Mound, New Mexico. Unfort-

SHOTGUNNED GANG RIVAL TO DEATH— Hands manacled behind his back, gang leader Ramon Serra, 20, stands in the candy store in New York’s Bronx where he shotgunned to death Michael Ramos, 17. District attorney's office agents stand by as he re-enacts the slaying. Serra was a leader of the Egyptian Crowns gang, and Ramos was a leader of the Kingsmen. Ramos had been a prosecution witness in the recent trial of seven young gang members in the fatal beating of a polio-crippled buy, but this slaying had nothing to do with that, police said. This was just over rivalry and “a bad look.” f International Sound photo)

unately the extraordinary rainfall there had wiped out all the tumbleweed, so we were forced to truck it in from California. Wonders At Choice “Sometimes I wonder why I chose a tumbleweed for the central character- It is flora nongrata everywhere. Ranchers hate the pesky weed. It causes fires, floods and crop damage. “But it is colorful. In our story it becomes involved in various situations with different people. Hie weed manages to steal Anne’s hair ribbon in one sequence.” At the mention of her name Anne poked her pixie - fgee up to table top level tq say, “that bad tumbleweed ram away from the boys and stole my red hair ribbon.” Then she ducked under the table again. “You must admit,” Lebenthal said wearily, "I chose a pair of rather unusual stars.”
