By spending money as if there were no tomorrow, I have a great talent for spending. The public expected me to be a playboy, and I didn’t want to let people down. “When I was broke I didn’t let it worry me. There was a time when I couldn't afford to buy an automobile, but I managed to hang onto my yacht, the ‘Zaca,’ , no matter - how badly things ; went." Flynn’s luxurious yacht, which | won him more headlines than a j South America revolution, now I is anchored in the Mediteranean i available for Flynn’s own brand of parties. 4 ' Beneath the actor’s superficial bon vivant facade lies a strong J determination to prove himself as i an actor. “For the first time I’m serious i about my w'ork," he Said. “For ! years I used to dash on and off camera wielding a sword and rescuirfg**Ptetty girls. This was acting? I “I didn't deserve all the money they gave me. but I was willing to spend it. Now I’m acting instead of swashbuckling.’’ SIOO,OOO Contempt Fine Is Set Abide WASHINGTON tUP) — The Supreme Court today set aside a SIOO,OOO contempt fine imposed on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Alabama for refusal to produce membership lists.

Clergyman Seeks To Save Marriage Month's Leave Os Absence To Pastor ST. Louis (UPD — The Rev. James A. Doubleday began a month’s leave of absence today in an effort to salvage his marriage and the $200,000 inheritance his wife lost in a romantic fling with a cowboy. The Rev. Mr. Doubleday did not conduct Sunday’s three services in Grace* Episcopal Church in suburban Kirkwood, although his church vestrymen previously had given him a vote of confidence. It later was revealed the vestrymen had given the Rev. Mr. Doubleday a month's leave of absence so he could take his family on a vacation. "Die church services were conducted by Dean Charles Rakoff, dean of Christ Cathedral in St. Louis. The vestrymen also stood by the minister last April when his wife, Barbara, 33, left him and their two sons, Michael, 8. and David, 6, to go to Reno, Nev., to seek I a divorce. She took her $200,000 ; inheritance, in the form of cash and bonds, along with her. Although members of the minister’s congregation appeared divided. whether to retain him, neither the Rev. Mr. Doubleday nor his wife was available for comment. The minister last week said he would take his wife back ants there would be no divorce. The couple rejected other questions about as too “personal." ■ Still a mystery is what happeed to the bulk of Mrs. Doubleday's inheritance. The FBI has charged the money was stolen by Raymond Lewis 27, a dashing cowboy who shared a motel with her at Tucson, Ariz. Mrs. Doubleday said the Jheritance was in her car whensHeadspeth drove off and deserted her.

» -r— * *«l I «l liMß*-'— Presbyterian Leader Speaks To Women National Meeting t On At Lafayette LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD — A nationally known Presbyterian i church official said today that ■ many Americans think of the 1 church as “one of the good vol--1 untary societies that compete for our time, attention and support.” Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, ; stated clerk of the United Pres- ' byterian Church in the U.S.A., told j a United Presbyterian Women’s national meeting that the church does not belong in a list with such organizations as the Parent - Teach- : ers Association, League of Women . Voters, Community Chest, civic , music associations and women’s i clubs. These, he said “are important parts of the full life of the Ameri- • can woman.” “But I do suggest,” he added, • “that the church does not belong . in such a list at all. He said sometimes a woman ) must choose between tgaching a 1 Sunday school ejass or being active in the PTA, and "sometimes ' the PTA wins out.” » A Sunday speaker was the Rev. ; Alphonso Rodriguez, president of ' Union Theological Seminary at Mantanzas, Cuba. He said Chris- , tians must remember in crises I that “God is at work in the world.” . “This is most important to keep i in mind,” said Dr. Rodriguez, “es- . pecially in these days of confusion. You need this fundamental convic- . tion here and now. Otherwise it is . almost impossible to read today’s headlines without despair,” Aiomtal I Admitted 1 Mrs. Richard Decatur: Cleo L.

Rebels Attack ' I Lebanon Town Again Today ‘ Fighting Reported Also In Tripoli In Fifth Straight Day BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPD—Rebel‘forces attacked the village of Shemlan today, forcing Britons to , evacuate their Government School of Oriental Studies in the village. Fighting also was reported in the port city of Tripoli for the fifth straight day, but a U.S. embassy spokesman in Beirut said a truce had gone into effect under which both sides are sparing the American Presbyterian Hospital. There were no reports yet of casualties from either side in Lebanon’s mixed up civil war, but either the battles in Tripoli nor Shemlan represented a major rebel offensive. Shemlan is about 15 miles southeast of Beirut. : Unconfirmed reports from the north spoke of a widescale battle • between 2,000 insurgents and progovernment army forces in which “scores” were reported killed. The battle was reported in the Akka ' region. The reports said the hilltops , were under the control of govern- ( ment forces and that the rebels , marched on Akka Sunday from the northern border region and were trapped in a valley by fire from government forces. Unconfirmed reports said the rebels were routed, leaving “scores” dead. The rebels who attacked the vil- , lage of Shemlan were led by j tribal leader Kamalo "Jumblatt. The rebels moved in during the night and attacked in the early morning hours. Gendarmes were rushed in to help the defenders. The British school there was established for British govern-

ment officials learning Arabic and / ■ Oriental history. British embassy spokesmen said Jumblatt warned them in advance of the attack and that Englishmen there moved to the neighboring village of Souk al Gharb. The English houses were taken over later by snipers. The attack on Shemlan was believed to be in revenge for the fatal wounding of a rebel messenger by gendarmes Sunday. He was shot while en route to rebel headquarters from Beirut and died after reaching Jumblatt’s mountain stronghold at Mukhtara. The American hospital in Tripoli, the Presbyterian Kennedy Memorial Hospital, reported it had not been under fire since Sunday afternoon. There are no Americans in the hospital. They were evacuated early in the fighting. 1 Terri Lyn Is the name of the daughter born to Sgt. and Mrs., Walter F. Mowery of 134 Marsh avenue, Reno, Nev.
