Abhorred Cutaways. The next day King Baudouin again broke with the past by holding Belgium's first royal press conference. As more than 100 reporters munched cookies, sipped champagne, and smoked the King's own crested cigarettes, Baudouin moved affably among them, freely offered heretical opinions and answered questions. Of U.S. newsmen he said: "They establish instant, familiar relations with their important guests, which is. you will admit, far different from our traditions, so I had to adapt myself quickly." Were Americans materialistic? "I found them idealistic." What about court protocol? 'I abhor cutaways. They should...
...announced that she has raised $2.5 million in cash and pledges for "Girls' Town, U.S.A.," a haven to be built in southern Florida for "lost, frightened, abandoned girls from ten to 18 who need care and help." Gregg, a onetime chorus girl accused of adult delinquency in the past (charges of drunken driving, resisting arrest, slugging cops), made it clear that her nonsectarian, non-profit project is no transient whim. Said she soberly: "It would help to correct the alarming rate of violence and abandoned sex that we read of every day. I want to devote the rest...
...Perth Amboy, Shane O'Neill, 39, son of tormented Playwright Eugene O'Neill, proved to have torments of his own in the ill-starred family tradition.

Rapped $55 for not having a narcotics user's identity card, he had only $1 and some small change to propitiate...
Author Douglas-who originally had the book privately printed and sent to some 400 friends-is a weathered Janizary in the gag profession, whose sultans have been Bob Hope, Red Skelton, George Gobel, Jimmy Durante and, for the past twelve years, Jack Paar. Although Paar has announced that Douglas will be dropped when his contract runs out this month ("You have misused me and your expense account"), Jack has plugged the book, which was also aided by the flack magic of Manhattan Pressagent David Green. Result: last week a lot of people were being tickled by such blunt, Douglas-made...
...system is based on a type of seismograph in which a heavy weight is suspended so that it holds still while the earth waves move past it. The slight motion between the weight and electrical elements close to it creates a fluctuating electrical current. Before the current reaches the recording apparatus Pomeroy and Sutton pass it through a special galvanometer-a coil that makes a small weight move against the resistance of a delicate spring. The waves in which they are interested are long and of low frequency (40 to 50 sec.). They found that by choosing a galvanometer with...
