...surge the fire burned ten homes, including that of TV Star Ralph (This Is Your Life) Edwards (damage: $100,000), who was already in residence at his other home in Beverly Hills. (Movie pressagents, sniffing some profitable headlines for their clients, quickly got into the act with a string of announcements describing the tribulations of various movie folk, e.g., Kim Novak, Jane Russell, Alan Ladd and Glenn Ford. Even Hedda Hopper's hats got a mention when the ranch owned by her male milliners was burned...

...hand is that of West Coast Industrialist Norton Simon, 49, who controls Hunt Foods and Ohio Match Co., has major interests in a nationwide string of enterprises ranging from insurance to railroads. Multimillionaire Simon created his empire by buying undervalued companies and building them up. Convinced in 1953 that magazine publishing was being underrated as a result of TV competition, he bought stock in Curtis, McGraw-Hill, Conde Nast and McCall, decided to concentrate on McCall.
