day, preparing for the time when he will be producing his own pictures. Tied down to a Universal-Inter-national contract—which has three years to run—Rock makes only S3OOO a week. Only! As a freelance operator he could command more than half a million smackers per picture, in addition to a percentage of the profits. As toe nation’s number one boxoffice draw he could name his price. Actors with a tenth of

his drawing power make ten times his salary. When those three years are up Rock will be ready. "I’m going to take college courses in finance and economics,” he says. "If I’m going to be a high-salaried actor I’d like to know what to do with all toe money. “Right now I doh’t even know what a stock or a bond is. But I’ll learn. And I’ll find out how to run my own company.” (' Nothing To Say

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

| The broad - shouldered star stopped talking to eat his lunch in toe U-I commissary. It appeared he’d done his talking for the day. Asked why he limits Interviews, Hudson said simply, "I have nothing to say. "I don’t know wnac to talk about. Maybe it's a desire for privacy. Everybody else has a private life, why not me?” Rock fell silent again, then hopefuly analyzed his success. "Fortunately, I haven’t been forced to play any of those neu-

rotic hero roles. And I just as soon keep it that way. Actualy, I can’t say that I do any real acting. I just stand in front of toe camera and smile, "When I left Chicago,” the extruck driver recalled, “I didn’t know whether to go to New York or Hollywood. If I’d gone to New York I might have attended toe. Actors’ Studio and become anoOier Jimmy Dean. Maybe I’d have wound up a bum. It’s fun to think about those things.

Big Earning Potential "Most of all I’d like to go on toe stage. It sourfds like an ideal way to live. I’d have regular hours and be able to go to school during the day.” , The big guy is vaguely aware of his earning potential. He is one of a kind—the only young man on Hollywood scene who can play swashbuckling heroes a la Galble, Cooper and John Wayne. Within the next 15 years he could earn upwards of 20 million dollars.

“I don’t think much about that. And I don't give much thought to my boxoffice rating or winning an Oscar,” he said. "I’ve made 39 pictures in the past eight years, so I’m not in a hurry to make more of ’em.” He recently completed “Twilight For the Gods,” and soon begins “This Earth Is Mine” with Jean Simmons.** Before leaving the lunch table Hudson thought deeply for a minute, then summed up his attitude about movie-making. “I just like, to sit,” he concluded.

With the fair less than six weeks away, the entry department is swinging into full-time operation. Processing has already begun on entries. Mrs. Esther Britton, head of the entry department, reminds all would-be exhibitors that the deadline for open-class entries is August 9. 4-H exhibitors will have until August 15 to sign up for fair competition. The fair is scheduled for August 27 through September 4. Some 2,300 adult exhibitors are expected, predicts Mrs. Britton. There will also be around 4,500 4-H exhibitors. When an entry arrives at the fair, the processing begins immediately. Section numbers are assigned to each item entered, and tags and tickets are sent to the exhibitor. International Business machines then take over and each entry is entered on and IBM punch card. AU entries are then run cm award sheets in their proper sections. During the fair the judges* decisions are recorded on these sheets and they are returned to the entry department. Last, but not least, permlum checks are written by IBM machines. This system means that all prize money checks wiU be mailed the week after the fair. Open-class entry blanks are available at the entry department 'in the (administration building, Indiana State Fairgrounds, Indianapolis 5, Ind. All 4-H entries are handled through the county aggricultural agents. Cabinet Doodlings Carefully Destroyed Doodlings At Top Meetings Destroyed By DAYTON MOORE United Press Internationa! WASHINGTON (UPI) - Backstairs at the "White House: Doodlings of high government officials at National Security Council and Cabinet meetings are destroyed with the same care as any notes they may take on topsecret matters. Each participant in such meetings is supplied with a leather-bound note pad and attached bronze magnetic pencil. A White House source said, however, that few notes are jotted down on them. It is mostly doodis. At the end of each meting, a staff aide tears off the used pages, and several underneath which may have impressions on them, and destroys them. Veteran White House receptionist William D. Simmons, a former Secret Service agent, keeps the pads and pencils in his desk in the West Lobby where he greets President Eisenhower’s caUers. Not aU visitors welcomed at the White House by Simmons are VIPs (very important persons) calling on the President. A frequent one is a 5-year-old boy who showed up recently wearing only shorts and blue sneakers. He is Robert Simmons, the receptionist’s grandson. Ghana Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah left behind similar gifts for the wives of Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Secretary of State John Foster DuUes, as well as the First Lady. They were hand-loomed, togolike ceremonial robes worn in Ghana. Each of the three gifts was in a diferfent pattern but all included Ghana's national colors—red, green and gold. The ones worn by men are in one piece but the women’s are divided into a skirt and stole. Prices of the more expensive ones range upward of about S3OO. White House Appointment Secretary Thomas E. Stephens recently impressed the President with his speed afoot. The President came into the Cabinet Room for a swearing in and looked around in vain for a commission to hand to the new official. The President’s query of “Where was it?” sent Stephens dashing the 50 feet to his office. “Boy, you’re a pretty fast runner,” the President commented with a smile when Stephens was back in about one minute with it. Return Tickets BOSTON — (UPI) — Ordered into court after her car had been tagged- 10 times for overnight parking, a Back Bay widow offered this explanation: She had moved from one street to another and her pet Koala bear had strayed. Therefore, she was leaving her car outside her old address with the doors open and pans of meat and water inf ide to lure the tittie bear baek. The National Automobile Club estimates that traffic accidents in the U. S. in 1957 took one life every 13 minutes.
