Kremlin Officials Ride
In Open Cars in Geneva
GENEVA, <j¥)—The top men of
-the Kremlin have relaxed them
selves right out of their bullet
proof cars, while President Eisen
hower is riding through Geneva
with the biggest guard in town.
“It makes the Swiss smile,”
said Marc Pernet, a local garden
er who’s watched cloak and dag
ger operations in this neutral
country for years.
“The Americans,” he said, “put
their president in a closed car
and stick their secret policemen in
open ones. The Russians put their
leaders in an open car and trans
port their secret policemen in
closed ones.”
The comparison goes deeper.
At the President’s villa by Lake
Geneva, two to four secret service
,men are on duty at the barred
iron gates around the clock. More
are scattered around the gardens.
Others roam the lakefront.
This guard is augmented by a
carload of Swiss plainclothesmen
outside the gate at all hours,
Swiss soldiers with loaded tom
myguns inside the villa grounds
and a motorboat guard patrolling

Mamie Provides
Hot Competition
At Beauty Contest
LONG BEACH, Calif., UPV—Pre
liminary judging started yester
day in the Miss Universe contest,
but the international beauty
queens all hoped the competition
wouldn’t be as tough as that they
got from actress Mamie Van
Doren.
Two busloads of the beauties
were the guests Monday of Uni
versal-International studios. They
broke bread and posed for pic
tures with Lex Barker, George
Nader, Rory Calhoun, Tony Cur
tis, Maureen 0‘Hara, Pat Crowley,
Martha Hyer, Paul Kelly and
other U-I stars. They also watched
Curtis and Miss Crowley emote in
the movie, “The Square Jungle,”
currently in production.
But the cameras started to pop
hysterically when the curvy Ma
mie walked in the U-I commissary
wearing a golden lame gown. It
could best be described as a going
away dress that had mostly de
parted from Mamie.
Photographers ignored the four
score beauty queens and the rest
of the stars to cluster around Ma
mie. She, of course, posed like
she had invented cheesecake.
Said Mamie: “I knew I was go
ing to be in fast company, so I
just dressed for the occasion.”
Mostly the beauty queens stood
around amazed. Miss France,
Claudie Petit, said, via an inter
preter: “That dress she’s wearing
would even be banned in Paris.
How did she ever get into it?”
I PUPPY ADOPTED AS PET
! TURNS OUT TO BE COYOTE
DALLAS, UP)—About six weeks
ago, Mrs. Margie Lyons found a
shivering, soaking-wet puppy on
the street.
She took it home, gave it the
best of food and medicine, and
watched happily as her new pet
tried to make friends with her
tiny chihuahua.
This week Mrs. Lyons took her
two dogs to a veterinarian for
their rabies vaccinations. It was
then she learned her new pet is a
wild coyote, not a dog.
