Play Cinderella On Visit To Jeweler's Girl Can Try On Fabulous Jewelry By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK <UPD— One way to play Cinderella is to visit Harry Winston’s. Here, a girl without a dime toward a diamond is free to dream, to admire, even to try on some of the world’s most fabulous jewels. I spent a morning doing same, just to see what all was behind those doors at the House of Winston, which the other day gave the million dollar Hope diamond to the Smithsonian Institution. It takes never, unless you’re rich, to walk through the heavy, iron grill doors of the sedate gray stone house, once the home of a countess, now identified only by a small bronze plaque on the front. But nobody stopped me. No armed guards crowded around to check my credentials lone press card) or my checkbook. I might have been a customer! The whole atmosphere was so casual, I asked Don Carnevale, a vice-president, if thievery of some of that ice wasn’t a simple thing. Who would miss a few small stones from a collection insured at well above 25 million dollars? Complicated Alarm System* “We’ll just X-ray you as you leave," Carnevale laughed. I found later that although there was little obvious security, the house has a complicated communications and alarm system which can call the cops, both city and private, in a hurry. And every gem, whether worth SSO or $500,000, is carefully photographed and inventoried. Carnevale gave me the grand tour of all six floors to show that the Winston business is. if I may say so, many-faceted. Here, some 250 employees design and finish jewels for both the wholesale and retail trade —for customers ranging from Egypt’s exiled King Farouk who bought the Star of the East diamond <94.8 carats) to a mail order house which buys thousands of and % carat engagement rings in a single order. Bernard De Haan, chief of the cutting department and the fourth generation of his family in the jewelry business, said that a lot of carats — sometimes 60 per cent of the original stone — are lost in the cutting. He swiped his hand across a counter — “once a diamond, now a carbon smudge,” he said. Farouk Still Owes Carnevale pointed to an assembly counter littered with sketches and small white packets of gems and casually commented, “about five million dollars there.” I began to feel equally casual about all that glitter until Winston took me into his second floor office, with its period, furniture and crystal chandeliers, and said: “There are still plenty left, even with the Hope gone.” “Farouk still owes me for the Star of the East and some other stones.. .about $1,150,000 all told. The Star of the East has not been found,” said the jeweler who also once owned the Jonker. The Jonker, one of the six largest diamonds ever found, weighed 726 carats before it was cut into 12 stones and Winston said number eight, the Marquise, just came back to me the other day.”

Humans Can't Adapt To Colder Weather Temperatures Below 77 Cause Strain By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — A scientist has given up hope of people ever being able to adapt their bodies to cold weather. If he s right, winters aren’t going to become any more comfortable and space travel, if and when it comes, will always be an ordeal. The way Dr. R. K. MacPherson has it figured, the only temperatures which cause no undue body strain are those above 77 degrees. Any temperature below that causes strain, and the strair. gets progressively worse as the temperature drops. People living in temperate climates such as ours have just about reached the limit of the human body's capacity to adapt to cold, in his opinion. Therefore, they can’t be comfortable when winters are severe, and if the climate should change to the colder side, they’d be in trouble. Can Adapt To Heat MacPherson was dealing with a phenomenon of the human body which has roused much scientific curiosity. The body can adapt beautifully to heat. A man transplanted from a temperature chmate to a tropical one adapts to the latter perfectly within a matter of months. More than 135'million pounds of fish valued at more than 11 million dollars moved through the New England Fish Exchange, which handles every pound of fresh fish landed at Boston.

Petersburg Business Building Destroyed PETERSBURG, Ind. (UPI) — A $50,000 fire destroyed a Petersburg business building late Friday. The fire apparently started in the rear of the Gamble Store and quickly spread to an adjoining television shop and liquor store. The Washington and Petersburg Fire departments fought the blaze for more than -two hours. Damage to the building was estimated at $25,000. The rest of the loss was to the three business firms. The average cost of filling a tooth in San Francisco is $7.14, higest in the nation, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. The average cost in Washington, D.C., and New York is $5.17. Cincinnati, at $3.50, has ohe of the lowest averages in the Country. Movie Production At New Low Ebb Producers Say 1959 May Be Even Worse By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Movie business has never had it so bad. This year fewer pictures were made than in any previous year, going all the way back to nickelodeon days. Production is down 34 per cent from the 1957 output. Only 194 feature films were produced, compared with 293 last year. For the first time since the silent era less than 200 new flickers were canned —a disastrous drop from the 1936 high of 566. Distressed producers who used to say, “wait ’till next year,” admit 1959 may be worse. Every major studio, except MGM, made fewer picture this year than last. Independent producers dropped off from 131 films last year to only 76 in 1958. Recalcitrant actors, high costs and that old “debbil” television have ganged up to put motion pictures in the worst slump in history. Salad Days Gone In the old days Columbia, Met-

ro, Paramount, RKO (now defunct), Universal - International, 20th Century-Fox and Warner Brothers ground out 50 to 60 pictures each. But those salad days have wilted forever. Universal laid the biggest egg, filming only seven flicks this year as against 27 last year. However, the usual panic is missing among movie employes. During the 1949 crisis actors, electricians, carpenters, painters, prop men and all the rest were unemployed and mutionous. Not so in 1958. • ’ They’re all working on filmed TV shows, which have taken up the slack. Nor are the sound stages dark and echoing. Brash video companies have moved it — mostly with horse operas — keeping the 6000 movie workers happily employed. Those studios which moved into the TV field early are booming. Columbia (through its Screen Gens subsidiary), Warner Brothers (with five westerns) and 20th Century-Fox have no financial

problems. But Paramount and Universal, which hoped TV would evaporate, are hurting. Few TV Shows MGM still produces few TV shows, but its movie production has climbed to 24 pictures this year compared to 20 in 1957. How come? “We’ve rooted out the deadwood and injected 'some new blood in the top echelons,” a studio spokesman said, then added wryly, “and some of our films have made much more money than we anticipated.” Metro, largest of 'the majors, could be among the missing next year if its 15 million-dollar gamble, “Ben Hur,” is a dud at the boxoffice. Another reason for the movie nose dive is slumping boxoffice receipts abroad. As television grows in Europe, theater suffer more. Also frozen assets in foreign countries have been used in the making of location pictures, drying up a financial and cheap labor pool that had helped keep producers afloat.
