...benefit the Woodstock Artists Welfare Fund and its "Rest Room Building Fund"-drew contributions from dozens of citizens whose reputations, and prices, are sizable. The townspeople paid $25 a ticket to drink to its success and take home a Doris Lee lithograph of plump bathers in a black pool. Four winning ticket holders got a good deal more: their choice of any painting or sculpture in the place. The fortunate four picked Anton Refregier's crisp figure piece, Boy Drying Rope, a lush little still life by Sigmund Menkes, a thickly sketched townscape by Eugene Ludins, and Carl Walters...
Tough Neighbors. Last winter the President proposed an international pool of atomic information and material intended for peacetime uses. But a tough neighbor from across the Iron Tracks had bluntly rejected his offer. Said the President: "The proposal as placed before the Soviets was not favorably received . . .

...drenched husband, was tossing a small, make-believe Hawaiian luau (a beach wassail where revelers cry "Oahu!"). There was no poi or okolehau, but there were oodles of orchids and leis, flown in from the Islands, and, ignoring Tahoe's sparkling waters, lackeys gassed up a swimming pool by spiking it with champagne.

Born in Tripoli, North Africa, she wanted to be a doctor until she was discovered by a movieman in a swimming pool four years ago. Since then she has made 16 pictures. She was signed for the title role in Helen of Troy, but her acting did not measure up to her looks. After she blew her lines in 36 takes of a singfe scene, the picture was changed from a love story...
Hotelman Conrad Hilton, who hates to pass up a good deal, last week was busy roping still another hotel into his bulging corral. Hilton announced that he had bought Houston's lavish (TV, air conditioning, Muzak, a 165-ft. swimming pool), 1,100-room Shamrock Hotel, opened in 1949 by Wildcatter Glenn McCarthy. The seller was the Equitable Life Assurance Society, which took over the $21 million hotel in 1952 as part payment on a defaulted $34 million loan to McCarthy Oil & Gas Corp. Equitable's price to Hilton: $18 million, including $7,000,000 for 500 surrounding...
