To Cut the Costs
Multi-Millionaire Installs
Pay Telephones
LONDON LP — Paul Getty, one
of the world’s richest and most
prudent men, said today he has
installed a pay telephone in his
stately English mansion.
“People are funny about tele
phones,” said the American multi
millionaire. “They’ll come as
guests and make long-distance
telephone calls all over the
world.”
When you speak to them about
it, they look surprised and say:
“I spoke only 30 minutes? Why,
it’s impossible. It couldn’t have
been more than three minutes.”
Getty said that guests are not
the main problem, however.
“I’ve got some splendid servants
now,” he explained, “but in the
past, well, er, some of them were
calling up relatives in Scotland
and talking and talking. That all
went on my bill.”
Speaking in his slow Oklahoma
drawl, he added: “And then
there’s the question of workmen.
We have a lot of them at Sutton
Place. Theyre always calling rela
tives and friends in London.”
Sutton Place, south of London,
is one of England’s most beautiful
homes. Getty is said to have paid
about $2.8 million to buy it from
the Duke of Sutherland.
“A call to London costs one
and three” — one shilling three
pence — 18 cents — said Getty,
“and when you get some fellow
talking for 10 or 15 minutes, well,
it all adds up. So, I’ve installed
a coin-box telephone.
Excited, Pushing Crowd
Sees Liz Off on Plane
LONDON UP — Actress Eliza
beth Taylor left the hospital in
a wheelchair today — and an
excited crowd pushing and shov
ing to see her almost knocked her
to the sidewalk.
Her husband, Eddie Fisher,
seven uniformed policemen, an
inspector from Scotland Yard, a
doorman and a chauffer battled
to protect her.
The actress had won a 23-day
battle against double pneumonia
and headed for a vacation in
California.
“I feel fine — wonderful,” she
said in a voise just above a
whisper as they wheeled her out.
Her shapely left leg was drapped
with a bandage from just above
her ankle almost to her knee be
cause it is affected by “chemical
thrombosis” caused by the mas
sive doses of antibotics she re
ceived during her illness.
At the airport as she was car
ried aboard the plane for New
York, airport workers and a score
of police manned a hastily erected
barrier of steel railings to protect
her from a crush of spectators and
photographers. Said a flustered
airport official:
“I’ve never seen such a flap.
This has never happened even
for the Queen.”

Army Engineers
Find Wooden Floor on
Bottom of Yukon River
Deeply buried under silt and
debris on the bottom of the Yu
kon River, Army Engineers have
found a wooden floor.
When drillers set up on the
river’s ice to probe the under
pinnings of the big river this win
ter, they didn’t know what to
look for — certainly not a floor
of wood.
The wood was buried under
fifty feet of debris on the bot
tom. Its age has not been deter
mined by laboratory analysis as
yet. Although the wood is well
preserved, it’s undoubtedly very
old.
The wood resisted pounding of
a turn-drill for 10 hours before
being penetrated.
Samples of the wood have been
brought to the surface for labor
atory analysis in attempt to de
termine its age.
Meantime drillers have punch
ed through to bedrock at two
points at the damsite. Bedrock
was reached at 96 feet below the
ice at one point and 17 feet at
the other.
Diamond core drills are now set
up at the two locations to pene
trate the hard rock up to 100 feet
below the weathered surface.
Samples of the rock will be stud
ied to see if it is the kind of rock
that dams are built on.
