...trade-in at the mutually agreed price, less the 5% commission and a $750 flat fee for mortgage financing, necessary repairs and other contingencies. Out of 175 such houses handled, Rose has had to carry only a dozen past the new home transaction deadlines. Chicago's William Trude offers a trade-in customer 15% under market value for his old house, then gives him 90 days to sell it on his own. The customer usually succeeds, much to the delight of Trude, who has had to take over only four out of 150 trade...
...women's downhill race, over an icy and treacherous course, not even the winner, Austria's Trude Beiser Jochum, had much fun. The U.S. team skidded and slithered into a disastrous series of pell-mell spills. Andy, after one half fall and a daredevil jump ending in a ski-tangled pileup, led the U.S. squad but finished a sorry 17th out of 43. Her sense of humor still intact, she said with a grin: "I guess we're the crash and burn team ... I made a great jump-right off the course." This week Andy had only...
...Waits for Me." At Grindelwald last week, Andy was not quite the best; but she wasn't trying very hard, yet. While Austria's Trude Beiser Jochum, 1950 downhill champion, might grind through 50 practice runs, Andy would loaf through two, then call it quits. A tall girl (5 ft. 7½ in., 130 Ibs.), but willowy and slim, Andy doesn't take training grimly: she drinks a beer with her meals, and is usually ready to join a friend in a cup of Glüwein (mulled red wine with cinnamon, cloves and sugar). She smokes...
...Mead Lawrence. At the Swiss championships last week, Andy swooped down the mountainside with the rush and sparkle of a Vermont freshet, and was right up with the winners: second in the tricky slalom (behind Switzerland's Madeleine Berthod); third in the daredevil downhill (behind Austria's Trude Beiser, the U.S.'s Janette Burr), where sheer speed is the payoff; first in the giant slalom, where both speed and control count...
Among the ones she looks at most thoughtfully: Austria's Trude Beiser Jochum, winner of the 1950 F.I.S. downhill; Austria's Erika ("Riki") Mahringer, Andy's best friend and, says Andy, "better than Dagmar Rom* ever was"; France's Andree Tournier Bermond, winner of last year's giant slalom at Mont Blanc; Italy's Celina ("The Tigress") Seghi, two-time Arlberg-Kandahar winner; and Germany's Hilde-Suse Gaertner, 1951 Davos-Parsenn Derby winner...
