HOLLYWOOD — (UP) — Life imitated art last week during a hold-up by four gunmen of a San Francisco restaurant, police said Thursday. At the height of the tension when 30 police officers were crouched behind parked cars, a bystander slipped up to officer Pete Williams and asked: "Pardon me—are you shooting scenes for that 'Lineup' TV show?"

Richard Skelton Displays Courage

DAIRY QUEEN
LONDON—(UP)—Nine-year-old Richard Skelton knows he has a usually-fatal illness but still hopes he may recover, the Daily Express reported Thursday.
The Express said Richard saw a newspaper story saying he was doomed by Leukemia when he arrived with his parents and sister at London airport Wednesday.
The Express story quoted Richard as saying, "Everybody says I'm going to die. But that means everybody but me.
A reporter tried to divert Richard's attention but the boy smiled and said, "It's all right. I know."
"If I'm going to die I'm going to die. It's all right. I know about my sickness. But I don't say I'm going to死."
The boy's father, comedian Red Skelton, told newsmen he also had hopes for his son's cure.
"I believe that my son will grow up to be a fine man," he said.

A "dead glacier," one that thaws before it reaches the ocean, is as brittle as glass yet as pliant as tooth paste says the National Geographic Society.
PARIS—Christian Dior displayed a controversial, contradictory style Thursday that plunged necklines to the waist for-evening wear, but kept dresses sacky and sexless for daytime.
Dior Necklines Plunge Lower
Summer Session Kansan
In a silhouette evoking the flapper days of the 20's, Dior came up with an elongated almond shape which he called the "Shuttle Line."
He shocked the fashion world with murderously "oh-so-low-as-that" necklines for evening wear.
For daytime wear he created a "haunted lady," sexless, sacky silhouette.
Buyers and members of the press crowded his grey-white salon to gasp at his new dictates, enhanced by something he called "the golden brassiere."
He also raised skirts to 15 inches, which is short for Dior.
Wednesday's shows saw the conversion of the slinky silhouette into the long-legged "sugar daddy" look—a definite return of the Theda Bara vamp.
Jacques Heim's new line was slinkier than ever, with 16 inch and up hemlines dominating his collection.
One short dinner-dance dress in yellow mousselline clung coyly to the body in front but vaprous floor length back panels held in place with tiny bows floated from the back.

Carey To Show Work In Capitol
Prof. J. Shieldon Carey, acting chairman this summer of the design department at KU, has been invited to show two ceramic pieces in the 6th annual exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., August 27 through September 26.
Professor Carey is sending a tall, thin, textured brown vase that has previously been shown at the 4th annual National Ceramic Exhibition in Florida. The second piece is a bulbous, textured vase that has just returned from a regional
show at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebr. The latter show was held for the annual meeting of the American Association of Museums.
Professor Carey's work will be included in the Smithsonian's section for work of outstanding American artists. The other two sections of the show will be for work by foreign ceramic artists and for work of local artists from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
