Barbara Burns Is Given Acting Job / ' ■' 1 . 7 HOLLYWOOD rUPI) — Barbara Burns, narcotics-plagued daughter of die late comedian Bob (Bazooka) Burns, today realizes her life ambition—to act—only a week after being released from jail. She begins work in a bit part for the NBC-TV series, “The Lawless Years." The job resulted from her plea from jail for a chance to act “because you can lick the narcotics habit if you really want something, and ating is all I want.” The auburn-haired, 21-year-old beauty, abandoned "by her mother since she left home three years ago to become an actress, has been cited for the last week by NBC and famed ex-New York cop Barney Rudistky, cm whose memoirs the TV serieseis based. < - “They’ve given me money, clothes, an apartment and friends,” Barbara told United Press IntCtnatiotSal. “I’d give my life for diem. Things like this never happen except in the movies.” Barbara, who was flat broke when she left jail, immediately was set up in a S9O-a-month apartment only two blocks from MGM studios, where she will work. “They’re going to have a secretary from the studio live with me so I don’t get lonely,” she said. “Mr. Ruditsky got me a free membership in one of the finest clubs here so I’ll have some place to meet good people and re'lax during the summer. And Jack Chertok, who produces the series, handed me SSO out of his own pocket until I get my first pay check. He also paid my rent.” Barbara will work a mimimum of four days a month on ‘"Die Lawless Years.” At the union scale of SBO a day, that will be $320. In addition, Ralph Acton, casting director for the show, will place her on other programs to increase her earnings. She also has been given the telephone numbers of a few close friends in case she feels the need for narcotics and wants help to resist the craving. ~ When Barbara entered Chertok’s office after wardrobe fittings Monday, she was trembling and frightened. “Please relax,” said Chertok, a kindly, graying man. He smiled. “I have kids older than you are, and I’d like to help you/’ he said. '“I won’t let you down,” Barbara said softly. “The important thing,’ said Chertok, “is that I don’t want you to think the world is going to rise and fall on whether you succeed as an actress. If you make it—wonderful. If you don’t, I’ll get you another job. “But one thing you can be sure of—-no matter how good or bad you are as a performer, you have a job with this series until it ends.” Barbara wept a little. “No one’s ever been so good to me before,” she said.

Cuban Consul Leaves Miami After Riots MIAMI (UPI) — Cuban Consul General Alonso Hidalgo was whisked out of Miami by plane Monday night with other Cuban officials. They headed for Cuba. Hidalgo had faced trial Wednesday on charges of inciting Saturday night’s riot between rival Cuban factions. A scheduled investigation into the riot handling apparently fizzled when Miami Police Chief Walter E. Headley submitted a 15-page report that showed, in effect, that Hidalgo’s actions turned a minor street disturbance into a free-for-all. The report, signed .by more than a dozen police officers, indicated that Hidalgo personally led a group against anti-Castro followers. They clashed in front of the home of ex-Batista Sen. Rolando Mansferrer, Castto’s top enemy. Hidalgo was beaten in the ensuing violence. Police said the original fracas, which they said centered around a minor clash between pro and anti-Cgstro forces, was under control until Hidalgo parked his car in a busy intersection and shouted encouragement to the pro-Castro crowd. Hidalgo’s escorts said he left mainly because he could get free medical care in Cuba, but they also said they feared he might talk too much because of his head injuries. Miami police made no effort to prevent Hidalgo’s leaving.

Detroit Mayor Gives Kozlov Cold Shoulder DETROIT (UPD—Frol Kozlov, Russia’s first deputy premier, started his brief 36-hour Detroit visit without the official recognition of the city’s mayor today. Kozlov and his official Russian party arrived here by chartered plane Monday night and were greeted by only three official welcomes, including their host, Detroit Edison Co. President Walker L. Cisler. There were no pickets on hand as the high Soviet official arrived, although refugee groups have threatened a demonstration. Detroit Mayor Louis C. Miriani chose to ignore Kozlovs visit and refused to extend the city’s greetings to the Soviet leader. But Gov. G. Mennen Williams will meet with Kozlov this evening to extend the greetings of Michigan. Williams took issue With Miriam's i action Monday-and said all visiting officials should be received and treated in a manner; which would be expected by American statesmen visiting abroad. Miriani’s action aLso was rebuked by Mayor Orville L. Hubbard, of nearby Dearborn. Hubbard sent- a telegram to Cisler saying, “To help improve relations between the United States and Russia, we want Mr. Kozlov, first deputy premier of Russia, to know that he is welcome in Dearborn, at the Ford Rouge plant or anywhere else he desires to go.” I Kozlov’s itinerary today included a whirlwind tour of Detroit’s 'industrial plants, including the Ford Rouge plant, the General Motors technical center and the Chrysler engine plant. Seek Site To Drill Deep Man-Made Hole LA JOLLA, Calif. (UPD-Sci-entists set out to sea today in search of a site for drilling the (world’s deepest man-made hole in a project aimed at answering age-old questions about the earth’s interior. •Nearly a score of scientists were aboard three ships assigned to the three-week survey called “Expedition Fanfare.” The Hugh M..Smi|h of Scripps Institute of Oceanography and the , Saluda of the Naval Electronics Laboratory left Monday. A third vessel, the Spence F. Baird of Scripps, leaves today. I The experts will make seismic soundings to determine the thickness of the earth’s crust, take bottom cores, measure gravity, [record depths and note weather. ' Somewhee—perhaps off Guadalupe Island, about 300 miles to the south— the scientists hope to •find a spot for drilling from sea [level 30,000 feet into the earth’s mantle. Recently, four ships conducted a similar survey in the Atlantic in a 200-by-150-mile area north of I Puerto Rico. t The two-ocean survey work is 1 part of tentative planning for drilling the “mohole.” a name given to the National Academy ofi Sciences’ project for getting a piece of the earth’s mantle. Scientists think more than 80 per cent of the earth is composed of the mantle material which contains the planet’s molten interior and in turn is covered by the crust. > What causes the earth's gravity? What causes its heat? How radioactive is the deep earth? Are the earth and moon made mostly of the same-material. These are some of the questions mohole project scientists hope to j study, and theysay just getting, a piece of the mantle is enough reason to spend 10 to 20 million dollars on the program. “ IBnirta At the Adams county memorial hospital: James and Marilyn Egly Johnson of 110 South Tenth street, are parents of a five pound, 10 ounce boy born at 3 o’clock Monday afternoon.

Cemetery Damage Caused By Vandals Vandals did approximately $12,000 damage to the Tomlinson cemtery south of Van Wert, 0., sometime last week, the Mercer county sheriffs department estimates. A’ similar report of vandalism came from Jay county recently. In the Mercer county incident, 125 tombstones, some of them weighing as much as 1,800 pounds, were pushed or pulled down. Many were broken, and many flags were ripped from iron brackets on veterans’ graves and trampled onto the ground. Because desecretion of the flag is a federal offense, Mercer county deputy sheriff Norval Weitz indicated, the federal bureau of investigation may be called into the case.
