HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Like teen-

Pittman’s career was just be-

He appeared in "The Proud Reb-

/'Wagon Train," “Cimarron" and
"Zane Grey Theater."

actly handsome. But his boyish
charm and acting abiIity-*-in the

parts. Critics liked him.

He never showed up at his
apartment. after leaving a party

Fifteen Seamen
Remain Missing
in Ship Disaster
CHARLEVOIX, Mich. (AP) -
With but the faintest flicker of
hope, grim sailors searched in still
angry waters among tinv islands
at the top of Lake Michigan today
for 15 men still missing from a
big ship which a howling storm
sent to the bottom Tuesday night.
Only two survivors, who rode
out a near-freezing 14 hours on a
tiny raft, have been found. They
said two who made the raft with
them disappeared as mountainous
waves flung it topsy turvey at
least three times.
Eighteen bodies have been re-
covered.
The 615 - foot Carl D. Bradley,
which carried a crew of 35. broke
in two and went down off Gull

Take Note Kids,
Sugar's Gotta Go
TORONTO i#> — Sugar coating
of pills has gone too far, says an
article in the Journal of the Ca-
nadian Medical Assn.
Dr. Henri J. Breault singles
out sugared pills of aspirin. He
says 121 cases of headache tablet
poisoning were recorded in Wind-
sor, Ont., during a 246-day pe-
riod. One victim died.
If a child finds the bottle of
pleasant-tasting tablets he may
not stop with one or two, he
says, and there is no knofcrn anti-
dote.
“The flavoring or coating of
bitter and distasteful medicines
has apparently defeated its pur-
pose by making drugs too at-
tractive and similar to candies,"
says the Journal.
