Judy Garland Makes Up
With Producer Husband
Old-Fashioned Talk

vorce suit against him. Producer
Sid Luft reports.
“She went to her sister’s," he
told a reporter Monday, “but she
came home Saturday and we had
a good, old-fashioned talk. I guess
we had been working at cross

TRAVERSE CITY. Mich., UP—
A five-week vacation to Mexico
was charged off yesterday by the
Cloyd Taylor family as virtually
a total loss.
Two days after setting out, the
family's youngest boy developed
chicken pox. He was left with a
relative.
In Arizona, every connecting
rod in the car burned out and the
crankshaft was ruined. So Taylor
bought a new car.
He had his fishing tackle along,
but the streams were in flood.
In Mexico, temperatures had
dropped to a frigid 11 above zero
and the family shivered.
When he got home, Taylor found
his camera shutter had been
stuck open all the time and there
wasn’t a single good picture
among the $50 worth of color film
he had bought.

, New Citizen Takes Name
Of Harry S. Truman
After ‘Great President'
NEW YORK, UP—1The United
States has a new citizen named
Harry S. Truman.
Before naturalization ceremon
ies Monday, Polish-born Andreas j
Malz, 39, petitioned federal court
to have his name changed to that
of the former President. Judge
Irving R. Kaufman granted the
request and then asked why it
had been-made.
Truman answered, “I have al
ways regarded Harry S. Truman
as a great American President
and I felt that I would be hon
ored to go through the rest of my
life bearing that name.”
While the initial “S” in the for
mer President’s name does not
stand for anything, the new Tru
man chose Solomon for his mid
dle name.

blaze spread to the Smith’s gar
age. They estimated damage to
the garage, the car inside and the

Hunters Wearing Red
WTarned Yellow Seen
Better by Color Blind
SACRAMENTO UP—Deer hunt
ers who wear red caps and coats
to keep from being shot at may
actually be inviting danger, says
a Sacramento optometrist.
Dr. William A. Mayer Jr. re
ported Monday that research at
the University of California Op
tometry School showed 5 percent
of male hunters are red-green
color blind. Therefore red clothes,
to them, are indistinguishable
from the green brush.
Dr. Meyer said vision special
ists recommend a golden yellow
color be used on hunting clothes.
“It may look white to color
blind persons,” he said, “but at
least the white would be distin
guishable and not blend into the
hunting terrain.”

as it does in all cases where fed
eral civil rights statutes may be
involved.
