Gains Settlement From
DiMag for ‘Wrong Dooif
LOS ANGELES, Iff) — Mrs.
Florence Kotz Ross, a 40-year-old
secretary, is $7,500 richer — be
cause she isn’t Marilyn Monroe.
Mrs. Ross was behind the cele
brated “wrong door” smashed
Nov. 5, 1954, when four men burst
into her Hollywood apartment
searching for the blonde movie
queen. Miss Monroe was in an
adjacent apartment.
The settlement was paid by
Joe DiMaggio, Miss Monroe’s for
mer husband, who was identified
by Mrs. Ross in a $200,000 civil
suit as leader of the raiding party.
Jittery Missile Expert
Asks Kids, ‘Omit Samples!’
WASHINGTON, UPI — An Army
missile expert is getting jittery
over his fan mail from juvenile
rocket enthusiasts. He’s afraid he
may get blown up.
The trouble, says Lt. Col.
Charles M. Parken, is that some
of the kids “think nothing, appar
ently, of tucking into their let
ters enough solid rocket fuel to
render me of no service whatso
ever to anybody.”
The mail began pouring in to
him at nearby Ft. Belvoir, Va.,
several months ago after some
magazine articles and TV demon
strations tabbed Parkin as the
key man in the Army’s program
of cooperating with the small fry
missilemen.
His appeal to the youngsters:
Please omit fuel samples.

Fishers Separate ,
But Debbie Says
Don’t Blame Eddie
HOLLYWOOD, UP) — Debbie
Reynolds today blamed her sep
aration from Eddie Fisher on his
.New York night club dating with
Elizabeth Taylor.
But she declared in a news con
ference at her front door: “I’m
still in love with my husband.”
Miss Taylor, who with her late
husband, Showman Mike Todd,
was supposed to have been a
close friend of the Fishers, said:
“I don’t feel that I’ve taken Eddie
away from Debbie — because
they weren’t getting along, any
way.”
Published accounts quoted Miss
Taylor, 26, as saying: “Eddie is
not in love with Debbie and
never' has been.”
To which Miss Reynolds re
torted: “We were never happier
than, we have been in the last
year.”
The formal separation of Deb
bie, 26, and Eddie, 30, was an
nounced Wednesday night. Eddie
went to the home of a friend, Miss
Reynolds stayed at home with
their two children.
She came to the door, wearing
a robe and pin curlers, and told
newsmen: “This separation is the
result of what happened in New
York and the stories that origi
nated there. As to your questions
as to whether Miss Taylor had
anything to do with this separa
tion, I’m unable to answer at
this time.
“Do I consider Liz Taylor a
good friend? Liz never was a
good friend. I would only say a
friend. Eddie and I both knew
her through Mike Todd.
“The separation definitely was
not my idea. I love Eddie and I
always have loved him. I hope
this separation will iron out the
difficulties and we can get togeth
er and be happy. Don’t blame
Eddie.”
