Carol Morris, Miss USA, Goes On
To Win Title of Miss Universe 1956
LONG BEACH, Calif., tffl—A<
tall, trim Iowa girl, who came
here a week ago with ambitions
of becoming a school teacher, was
acclaimed to^jay as Miss Universe
of 1957.
For Carol Morris, 20, the award
completed an unprecedented
sweep of top honors in the inter
national beauty contest. She was
first named the most popular
girl in the opening day parade
and then went on to win the title
of Miss United States.
Last night the dark-haired,
blue-eyed beauty from the Mid
dle West matched her charms
against those of 14 girls from oth
er nations and came out on top.
Germany’s Marina Orschel placed
second in the final judging. In
grid Goude of Sweden was third,
Iris Waller, England, fourth, and
Rosanna Galli, Italy, fifth.
The only previous winner of
the Miss USA and Miss Universe
titles was Miss Meriam Stevenson
of Winnsboro, S.C., in the 1954
contest.
When Miss Morris won the Miss
USA title Wednesday she said she
1 had wished upon a star, and Fri
day night she had another good
luck charm working for her.
Her father, the Rev. LaVerne
Morris of Ottumwa, fowa, who
flew in earlier in the evening,
said for the past three weeks he
has been carrying a penny in the
toe of his shoe.
“I found it on the street,” he
said. “I wanted to keep it separ
ate from my other change so I
put it in my shoe and I told Carol
I’d keep it there until she won or
lost.”
Miss Morris was modest in Vic
tory. “I didn’t deserve it,” she
said. “I never expected to win
the Miss USA title, let alone be
come Miss Universe.
She said she finished 13th in
the Miss America contest several
years ago.
Among the prizes won by the
new Miss Universe is a six-month
motion picture contract at $250
a week. She also won a three
month personal appearance con
tract with a bathing suit manu
facturer at $250 a week, a con
vertible coupe, a white fox stole
and several other lesser prizes.
Mis$ Morris teaches Sunday
school and sings in the choir at
her father’s church, the Davis St.
Christian Church, of the Disciples
of Christ denomination.
She is a champion swimmer, is
5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 129
pounds and measures 36-25-36.
Small Planes Collide
On Converging Runways
Killing Four Persons
GRANITE CITY, 111., UP>—'Two
small planes that took off from
separate but converging runways
at Lakeside Airport collided Fri
day night, killing four persons,
including two St. Louis business
executives.
The victims were Arthur J.
Brauer, president of Brauer
Brothers Shoe Co., his daughter,
Becky, 15, Albert Johnson, 41,
chief engineer of the Continental
Boiler Co., and his wife.
The two planes collided at an
altitude of about 150 feet and
plunged to the ground, the one
occupied by Brauer and his
daughter bursting into flames.
“They were so close I couldn’t
tell whether either pilot tried to
avoid a collision,” said Jerry
Adams, 18, a mechanic at the air
port. “They more or less tore
apart when they collided.”
