Mass Diabetes Tests
Tried on Students
I.OS A\< tKU'S. 'U.P—Four thou-
sand students entering the I'niver-
! sity of Southern California are be-
i tng examined for possible diabetes
I in a study that may become a mo-
del !i r city medical surveys.
J>r. I'aul O. <iree|ey. fiijrcto: of
i tile CSC student health service,
'said voluntary examinations were
nmm;
being conducted with the coopera-
tion of the California department
health to determine whether
such methods could be used on a
large scale.
It the diabetes check proves
practical, mass examinations may
be attempted in California cities
in a campaign similar to the chest
\- ay drive, Dr. (Ireelev said.
Three-Winged Chickens
Developed by Science
LoS ANCKLKS. <U.R'—.".-wing
ed chickens are being developed by
Cniwrsity of California at Los An-
geles researchers.
Dr. Seth YV. Smith, CCLA sur-
gery research associate, said he
and other experimenters long have
known the method of grafting an
extra wing on embryonic chicks,
fhey still don't know why such a
process works, however.
When an extra wing is tacked
| on the fowl before it leaves the
egg—usually on the bird's breast
or undei its normal wing—the
chicken grows into a healthy egg-
lay,ng hen or crowing rooster.
When such experiments are tried
after hatching they're unsuccess-
ful.
After completing, experiments
with the freak fowl, Dr. Smith said
lie would continue his work with
larger animals before attempting
other grafts, especially of body or-
| gans.

\< Workable Ideas
Weather experts confirmed that
there is no known way to divert
the rampaging storms. Cecil (Jen-
try. weather bureau forecaster in
Mi ami, said hundreds of sugges-
tions are on file, but none is prac-
■ ticahle.
Ideas such as dropping dry ice
or an atom bomb, (Jentry said.
1 would simply add to the energy
: content of the storm.
But Governor Warren maintain-
i ed that "it the aroused and mobi-
lized might of our nation could
release the energy of the atom, it
seems reasonable t, ■ believe that
hurricanes could be harnessed and |
storms throttled if not completely I

Being Target Of
Jokes Pays Off
Says Courtney
By JOHN ROSKNBCRtJ
' United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK 'U.P'—Beautiful
I (ieene Courtney probably is the
| most abused woman in the world,
j She's ridiculed. She's laughed at.
She's the butt of a thousand jokes.
But she doesn't mind it a bit.
She gets paid for it. Sometimes
as much as $500 a week.
Miss Courtney is a comedian's
"straight girl." and plenty talent-
ed. She lias played opposite such
top comics as Jack (Jilford, Jerry i
Lester. Joe K. Lewis. Phil Silvers.
Robert 1^. Lewis. Jackie (Jleason
and Smith and Date.
"It may be hrtrd to believe." she
said, "but 1 spent five years study-
ing heavy drama at the best
schools. I started just as soon a:
I graduated from the Los Angeles
high school.
Had t Eat
"But although everyone said I
was good. I couldn't get parts.
And you know how it is—when
you don't get parts, you don't
eat." i
Miss Courtney, a blue-eyed
blonde with extraordinary curves,
said she was about to give up her
theatrical career in favor of mod-
fling when she got a bit part in a j
Broadway show.
"I was supposed to be a bath
ing suit model, except that I wore
a towel—a very small towel," sne !
recalled. "It was a comedy bit and
it brought me more money than I
had ever made up to that time.
"Another show followed and in i
it I put on an evening gown, stood I

full of me. That paid $175 a week.
From then on I worked hard at
being a straight girl. In the old
days of burlesque, they would have
called me a "talking woman'."
Kult of Jokes
Miss Courtney, usually dressed
in a tight sweater or sexy gown,
is the butt of suen jokes as:
She: I don't believe in divorce.
He: Oi marriage.
She: He's desperately in love
with me.
Her Yeah, whenever he's des-
perate. lie gives you a call.
Very often; it's a skit like this
■ me:
She: You dog! You spend hun-
dreds of doll
ars and I go around
in rags! (She rips off all her
clothes with exception of panties
and bra) I'll show you!! I'm going
right down to tile post office in
front of all your friends. They'll
see how you treat me.
He: Down to the post office'.'
She: Yes. right in front of all
your friends!
He: Good, when you get there
mail this letter.
Miss ( ourtney says she doesn't
mind being lampooned that way
because:
"I know [ shouldn't admit this—
hut, well, most of the time my pay
check is bigger than the comic's."
