At 2:45 on a summery after- men last month. Detective Sgt, Ray Purdy, a tall, lean London policeman, telephoned his wife from. Chelsea police station. "I shall Probably be late again," he told her, "'Oh dear," said Mrs. Purdy, who had fixed a special treat for her husband's tea, But she didn't worry, Ray always work- ed long hours, and during the past few days, he had been working even later than usual on the case of the blackmailed blonde, The blonde was Verne Schifi.. man, a British-born American divorcee who models in London under the name of Joan O'Hara, A burglar had stolen some of her personal documents and now was blackmailing her, The model notified the police who put a tap on her telephone line, Four times, the threaten- ing calls came in and four times the tap failed. Now, et last, Sergeant Purdy's tap had worked. The blackmailer was calling from a number in. South Kensington subway station — KNightsbridge 2355. Rushing out of the police sta- tion with a colleague. Detective Sgt. John Sandford, Purdy caught the man leaving a phone booth, He broke away, but the bobbies cornered him in the entrance to a block of luxury flats. The prisoner was slim, of medium height, wore dark glasses, and spoke with an "American" accent. B e c a u s e London bobbies don't carry guns — and because e v en among the worst elements of the London underworld, it is un- thinkable to use a gun on a bobby — it didn't occur to Pur- dy to search his man for wea- pons. But when Sandford went to call a Black Maria, the prisoner pulled a gun, He shot Purdy through the heart — and fled. What followed was probably the fiercest manhunt Scotland Yard - has ever launched. Police- man going off duty volunteered to stay on and help search to avenge the death of their fel- low cop.

Television Set Busts Up Marriage For the first time, a televi- sion set was named corespon- dent in a divorce suit — by none other than a TV perform- er, Actress Caroline Van Dyke, who says she can't stand televi- sion herself, testified in Holly- wood that her husband, Bern- hard. A. Goetke, likes TV so much he wouldn't leave the set even to eat, "From the moment he got home at night he was glued to that set," she said even had to serve his meals there." Actress Elrae Harris, a witness for Caroline, a d d e d "He was like a man hypnotized. I never saw anything like it." Divorce granted. BULLY, BOAKS! — Slinging his umbrella and brief case on his back, Lt. Cmdr. William Books is off and tolling on skates in London. Boakes wears a sign warning vehicles that he's com- ing through on foot. He was taking part in a London-to-Paris race. It was held to commem- orate the first air, crossing of the English Channel in 1909. New Champion Living It Up Back home in Goteborg, Swe- den's new Heavyweight Cham- pion Ingemar Johansson was whisked from the airport to a local stadium by helicopter, emerged with a boyish grin to walk on a red carpet and. display his mighty right hand for 20,000 cheering fans, who paid 4O4 apiece to greet him. At a harness race with Girl Friend Birgit Lundgren, he de- cided to back a long shot, was shortly rewarded with a $200 win on a,$2 bet. At an auto race, officials bow- ed when he wanted to take Birgit for a spin in a Ferrari, blanched when he busted into a turn at 100 m.p.h., somehow skidded safely through. Ore a flower-bedecked throne he announced that he would not become a U.S. citizen, that the return match with Floyd Pat- terson would probably be in. Los Angeles. Later, with ball- point pen in hand, he auto- graphed the prettily preened neck 'of Movie Star Bibi An- dersori, added: "It will last lon- ger if you varnish it," Everyone howled. On every hand, he heard ra- dios blaring the hastily pressed record Itig,ernat 0 Ingemar, learned that even an Ingemar Cha-Cha (lyrics by Actress Singe Basso) would soon be re- leased. And then, with fame sweet- ening the ait, the world cham- pion went about the business of cashing in. Two days after his homecoming, Ingo hit the road on an exhibition tour aimed at earning $50,000, Climbed into the ring for a few friendly rounds with brother Rolf, an amateur boxer, At Osthemmar, seine 8,000 fans crowded in (at $1 a. heed) to watch in vain for The Ptihch, chuckle et the champ's cries ("Throw me some.

Makes about two cups, Vast Vision But Still Sees Pennies He bought his first tiny paper in the northern Ontario town of North Bay 28 years ago, and from this beginning, burly Roy Thomson, 64, has piled up a large fortune and a sprawling empire of 35 papers in Canada and the U.S. In the manner of most successful businessmen he is always one step ahead of his last big deal, Thus when he made his move from Toronto to Scotland, to buy Edinburgh's influential Scotsman (circula- tion: 58,550) in 1953, he explain- ed he was also dickering for the huge Kemsley group — but, as he put it, "Kemsley wants too much money." It was a long siege of bargaining, but last month 75-year-old Lord Kern- eley — one, of Britain's leading press barons — agreed to sell his pivotal shares to Thomson for a fat $14 million. If other Kemsley group stock- holders, who own another $21 million in shares, take His Lordship's advice at an Aug. 14 general meeting and back the sale, Roy Thomson will head an awesome journalistic com- bine. Among the Kemsley as- sets: The distinguished and pro- fitable Sunday Times (circula- tion: 795,192); The Sunday Em- pire News (2,161,230); Sunday Graphic (952,781); and nineteen out-of-London pap e r s, whose circulation of 1.9 million makes them the biggest provincial chain in Britain. What can the British expect of their newest press potentate, who insists he "worries more about sales than the contents of the paper?" For one, Thom: ' son is comparatively unpreten- tious. Although he operates Scotland's lone registered Cadil- lac, he , often looks as though he needs a new suit, sometimes takes his lunches queuing uP•in a cafeteria for soda pop and a sandwich. When he buys new paper, he always marches into the office, jovially, shakes hands with everyone. Before long, however, his sharp cost-account- ing -eye sends shiVers-down the spines of subordinates, Thomson learned , his book- keeping ,early,, The son of It Toronto barber, he left schook at 14, became a clerk, investor, and finally a radio ialeinum in the Qntario wilds, Sales didn't go well because local reception was bad, so he opened his own. • radio station in North Bay., Soon, he had a newspaper ill e r e, It was the first of a string in places like 1Cirkland Lake, Pembroke, Moose Jaw. As his empire grew, Thomson left his editors relatively free to set policy, But if one paper had picture cuts made for a few peneies less, he wanted to know why others were spend- ing more, Today he has 28 Ca- nadian newspapers, six radio and TV stations. He also owns. seven small U,S, dailies, includ- ing The St. Petersburg (Fla,) Independent ("to ha v e some- thing to do on my vacation") — From NEWSWEEK,. Marna Knows Best! Two Princesses demontrated that what Rudyard Kipling said of the Colonel's Lady an' Judy O'Grady applies to royalty and, commoners, t o o, especially if they're kids, First, she had to demonstrate that she'd mastered the arts of washing dishes, setting a table, lighting a fire, and tying a reef knot behind her back, Then, she had to pledge always to obey her mother, That done, 8-year-old Princess Anne of England was officially accepted into the Brownies at a ceremony in Buckingham Pal- ace Gardens. Her mother, Princess Alexan- dria Dinizulu of Zululand, had left her alone in their fashion- able apartment in the staid. St. James's section of London, and 6-year-old Pr Inc cos Elizabeth was bored. Opening a winclie,v, she proceeded to entertain her- self by dumping water upon the bowler-hatted Britons passing below. The drenched pedestri- ans merely opened up their um- brellas and stood around and watched, But, when Princess Alexandria returned, she wasn't as amused as the bystanders. She vowed to give Elizabeth a royal spanking. INTERNATIONAL — Holding the title of Miss Hawaii of 1959 is Gordon Leilehau Lee, 19.

He was 30-year-old Guen- ter Fritz Erwin Podola, a one- time member of the Nazi Hit- ler Youth who had emigrated from his native Germany to Canada in 1955, Booked at Chelsea police sta- tion by Sergeant Purdy's mates, .Podola — if he is found guilty — will get no benefit from Bri- tain's recent abolition of capi- tal punishment. There are sev- eral exceptions to the rule. Hanging still is mandatory for armed robbers, two-time mur- derers, and those who kill Bri- tain's unarmed warders and po- lice. There Really Was A King Midas At the time of Homer there lived, deep in the interior of Asia Minor, a great king named Midas. The Greeks were awed by his enormous wealth, amused by his odd taste in music. To celebrate, the first they grew the legend of the "Midas touch." The king had once wished, they said, that everything he touched would turn to gold, and his wish was granted, even to the inclusion of whatever touched his lips. Be- fore the laughing gods allowed him to rescind his wish, Midas almost died of thirst. As for his taste in music, Midas had the long, pointed ears of an ass, ac- cording to the Greeks, because in. judging a musical contest he had preferred Pan to Apollo. Midas was no legend. Genera- tions of kings bearing his name reigned over Phrygia from the great city of Gorium, now a des- ert waste 70 miles southwest of Turkey's Ankara. Two years ago an archaeological expedition mounted by the University of Pennsylvania, scratching t h e Gordian ground, broke through to tombs, closed up eight cen- turies before Christ, One con- tained the bones of Midas' line. Also found in the tombs were a four-poster bed (bearing a five- ft.-three-skeleton), inlaid screens and tables, riding gear, weapons and quantities of bronze objects, from giant caldrons ornamented with winged figures to enor- mously complex hairpins with concealed catches. Buried with a little prince were a vase in the shape of a goose and toy animals of great refinement. This strange and splendid treasure has been touring the U.S., was on exhibition at Man- hattan's Metropolitan Museum last month. In August it will re- turn to Turkey. The find opens a new chapter in the history of art, providing a missing link be- tween the culture of the Euph- rates basin and that of archaic greece. Similarities in style show that Greek traders and marauders must have brought home in their hollow ships a mass of Phrygian treasure — which in turn helped shape Greek art. 0 0.
