Hierarchy of Beauty—

Indiana’s Lovely Carol Just Misses Being Miss America—Miss Utah Is It

By United Press ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Sept. 8—Colleen Kay Hutchins, the Miss Utah of the Miss America contest won the Misg America title tonight. In second place was brunet Carol Mitchell, Miss Indiana. Third was Lu Long Ogburn, Miss North Carolina. Fourth was Charlotte Rosalie Simmer Miss Arkansas, and Mary Elizabeth Godwin, Miss Florida, was fifth.

The winner. Miss Utah, who gave a dramatic reading in the final judging, caught the fancy of the 19,000 spectators as well as the judges in a dress with white rhinestone studded bodice, dropped petal shoulders and net skirt. She was crowned by the retiring queen, the | Miss Alabama of last year. Yolande Betbeze. Miss Hutchins said that she planned to use | her $5000 prize scholarship to continue her graduate. work in dramatics, probably at the University of Utah. There is no way of telling how the score came up on the judges tab, but Miss Utah must have dbne well in the three categories all week. They included her appearances in talent, swimming suit and evening gown competition. A Clear Indication’ There was a clear indication this afternoon that she had a good chance to win when the .hard-nosed rascals in the press coop picked her to wind up in the first division. The new Miss America, in addition to displaying a lot of talent and a shapely figure also gave indication she is deeply religious. The master of ceremonies asked each of the five finalists three questions: one was “do you think a career and marriage can mix?” Miss Utah %aid: “Yes, with God's help.” After she had won, she said: “Folks, I still can’t believe it.” Asked about her love life, the pretty Miss Utah gave us a coy blush and admitted that she is in love with one Mel Hutchins, who was an allAmerica football player at Brigham Young. Others in the first 10—all of whom received —college scholarships included Miss Chicago, Adrianne Falcon: Miss Maryland, Georgia Reed; Miss Oklahoma, Bobby Gene Simmons. Joyce E. Perry. Miss South Carolina; and Miss “South Dakota, Marlene Margaret Rieb.

Alabama, Jeane Moody; Miss West Virginia, Phyllis Lee Walker: Miss Mississippi, Jessie Wyn Mor"gan: Miss New Hampshire, Colleen Phyllis Gallant: Miss Tennessee, Jean Harper; Miss Canada, Marjorie Kelly; Miss Hawaii, Claire Heen, and Miss Puerto Ricp, Otilia Jimenez. : The giris have Been through a pretty trying week of acting up before the hawk-eved judges. The winner will find herself in for a rough time on the luncheon and dinner eircuit. Here's how the judges operated tonight—on the finals. When the curtain rose about 7 p. m., Indianapolis time, Bob Evans, the master of ceremonies, announced the 10 finalists, A Trying Week These compcted in the talent division until the juages came up with the five out of the 10. These five came under the kliegs again and Bob read off the list. He teased the crowd of 20,000 by giving the fifth place winner first and worked his wav backward to the winner. In the evening dress competition Miss Arkansas appeared in a pink Dior original of net with shell sequins trimming cascade panels. Miss Chicago was in a white dress with a beaded bodice and full tiered beaded skirt. Florida wore a pink crepe evening gown with fluting around the neckline and a full skirt. Indiana was dressed in a Ceil Chapman original of red taffeta and pleated white tulle, Miss Maryland wore a very bouffant gown of white beaded tulle witha sweetheart neckline. Mis¢ North Carolina was wearing a white) strapless dress of tulle with satin trim on the waist and skirt. Oklahoma wore a formal of shrimp net with swirls of the material as trimming. South Carolina chose an evening dress of white-organdie.with-a. strapless bodice, full skirt over hoops and mitts, South Dakota was wearing a yellow net strapless garment with a full skirt trimmed with rhinestones.

Hurricane Charges Down On Bermuda

gy Another Mighty Storm Also Roaring Toward Tourist-Packed Island

By United Press |

HAMILTON, Bermuda (Sunday) Sept. 9 (UP)—Two hurricanes bracketed this tourist-packed resort early today, with the larger one charging head-on at the island with 140-mile-an-hour winds. 2 : The big blow was scheduled to rake the 20-mile-long . British island with its full fury about noon. Hurricane hunter planes spotted it only 200 miles south- - southwest of the island at 110 p. m., Indianapolis time last night. The central hurricine warning bureau in Miami said it was slowly swinging toward the north-northeast, creeping forward about eight miles an hour. It was expected to accelerate after the turn.
