» NEW YORK, Sept. 22—Several times per day, young Mr, John Derek, the handsomest movie actor to come along in years, stops everything and straightens his nose. You've read the sentence right. He looks in the mirror. If his nose is on crooked, he straightens it, John is probably the only actor in Hollywood or New York with a removable nose. He confessed his nose news to me at the Waldorf during a remarkable conversation about pianly beauty. His..

NEW YORK, Bept. 22-—One of the legal trav. _esties of our time has occurred. lately, during the abortive trial of a big bookmaker, Harry “Gross, who crossed up the prosecution in a graft ‘trial by refusing to continue testimony after the case had been carefully built by the D.A. . It is a cockeyed commentary on our age that the sweating bookie refused to testify that each of the suspect cops “were honest men-—on the i grounds that he might perjure #7 aself. One by one, thé cops “on whom Gross had put the finger long before, “during hfrand Jury hearings, stood up. ach man was called by name

" NO DOUBT you've seen women shed an earring when they'ré on.the phone for a couple of hours. They'll slip one off, play with it for awhile, put it on the telephone stand, forget it and walk away. Volla, another lone soldier gets tossed in the “jewel” box. La : The mind reels whén it tries to imagine how many tons of tin and glass and brass are lying around useléssly. What can be done with it? Collect it, naturally. Find a worthwhile and charitable organization which would find a use for all our trinkets. When the chips are down, folks can do remarkable things.
Then I thought the best thing would be to send it all to the Goodwill Industries. A quick check revealed the assumption was absolutely correct, The folks at Goodwill can rework and match the pieces, sell what can’t be salvaged, put the merchandise up for sale in their stores.

JOHN DISAGREES with Hedy Lamarr that beauty is a curse.
“I'm not going to complain about it” he said. “It got me a $150-a-week contract, my first break.
The ability wasn’t there. The looks compensated. “So I have to pat myself on the face for that.”
John said in a nice, non-conceited way that he may have grown a little egotistical after his success in his first picture, “Knock On Any Door.” “I thought I was pretty sharp. I'd get a little brief with people. Finally I saw what I was doing, and I got a few of my friends back that were sort of drifting away.” * And now he hopes he's correctly evaluated his good looks and his ability. , “Girls,” said the 5-foot-11, 185-pounder. “have a way of believing they are responsible for their good looks and falling in love with their crea“They have a self-love for this body of theirs. “I knew one girl who was just breath-taking. One night when her hair didn’t comb well I found out she was conceited, vain, obnoxious and dull. “She didn’t look well to her, She wasn’t happy with she. “1 was glad when she wanted to 80 home.”

IT SEEMED strangt hearing a man say his hair is quite a problem, but with Derek—who has long, beautiful black hair—it undoubtedly is. “I use a brush,” he said, “If I don't brush it, it gets curly.” : When he was making “Saturday's Hero,” a football picture, he followed the lead of many Hollywood males and got a permanent so his hair would look the same throughout the film. But he doesn’t care for permanents, he said-—quite robustly. John probably married his wife, Patil Behrs, because she put him in his place the first time they met. “Sure,” she told him, “you're pretty—and nuthin’.” But actually he’s intelligent, not too cocky, and articulate—a lot of compliment to come from a guy who's as jealous of his looks as I am, * * » TODAY'S BEST LAUGH: Peter Donald notes when you get a stand up omBroadway these days it turns out to be a fruit juice shop.

Frank Costello. The genial Will is still our ambassador to Mexico, a job he was awarded when he lammed out of town when things got hot in the graft investigations. I am immensely proud that we are represented in an important country by a man who deserted the job of mayor of New York under heavy fire, and who can be publicly accused of taking his hat in hand, together with a racketeer and a perjurer, to seek the big fellow's blessing in a mayoralty campaign. hod : THE RECENT RFC hearings in Washington: also have made me proud of the Democratic regime under Harry Truman, as did the five per cent stuff and all the other dirty doings that have studded this enlightened reign of dapper Harry,
