Folies Bergere Troupe Both Foreign and Domestic
Tuesday, June 23,1964
NEW YORK—(UPI)—The Folies Bergere troupe is giving New Yorkers an eyeful of imported cheesecake and two domestic varieties.
The 36 girls arrived from Paris aboard the liner United States and were whisked to the restaurant Chambord (very French) on the rear decks of a fleet of sporty Renault convertibles (also very French).
French girls, he confided, "are not in keeping with the American concept of beautiful." The mixed menage (means "the bunch") and, of course, two real Americans, are.
Behind them wheeled an ancient Paris bus and a Paris taxi (both very French).
BUT WHEN they stepped prettily to the sidewalk, two admitted they were Mary Luger of Minneapolis and Mikki Maher of New York City (more precisely, Greenwich Village).
Nothing to be as shamed of, of course. Only about a dozen of the Folies lovelies are vrealment (means "honest to goodness") French. The rest hail from Scotland, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, England, South Africa and elsewhere.
"They're a rather high caliber of girl," according to Miss Maher, 23, a cute brunette who is rather high caliber herself. She was an English Literature and Philosophy major at New York University, Washington College, in Chestertown, Md., and the Sorbonne in Paris—among others.
Other inside information on the new Folies crew from the Misses Maher and Luger:
"WE HAD TO CAST for the American public," said Sharmat. "We have some of the longest legs in Europe."
Folies producer Stephen Sharmat said they were picked especially for the American Folies at the Broadway Theater.
"MOST OF THE GIRLS are very intellectual," agreed Miss Luger. Backstage they talk "about anything from politics to high fashion," she said.
Miss Luger, 21 and a slim blonde, majored in theater at the University of Minnesota. Her parents, Mr. and
New Heart Disease Claims 5 Million
This was a camera-sized device which a person can wear during his daily routine while the apparatus records his heart-electrical activity on tape for 10 hours.
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — Speakers at the American Medical Association convention have warned that 5 million Americans have "silent, unknowing" heart disease—and told of a new device that may help in identifying it.
The warning concerned the nation's 80 million people between the ages of 35 and 64. Of them Dr. Arthur M. Master, a New York cardiologist, said yesterday that 2 million have had heart attacks and didn't know it.
Today, a new kind of electrocardiograph was described by Dr. Eliot Corday of Los Angeles.
And 3 or 4 million more have dangerous coronary trouble which has not been diagnosed because no pain has been felt, he told an AMA satellite group.
Dr. Master said all persons over age 35 should have an electrocardiograph test every year so heart difficulty can be recognized.
Mrs. Gordon I. Luger, still live in Minneapolis.
Both girls were working in Rome, doing high-fashion modeling and commercial films, when a Folies talent scout saw them and asked if they'd like to audition. They liked. He liked. They were in.
Corday said it discovered irregular heart rhythms not disclosed by the conventional electrocardiograph.
A hectic "champagne breakfast" was given at the restaurant to introduce the Folies beauties to the press.
"I DON'T MIND IT because it's necessary, especially for me," beamed Miss Luger at a passing camera. "I'm interested in films and in that field you have to have your face and the public mesh."
And they are proud of the show. It is even better then the original Paris Folies, according to Miss Maher, "more refined, more concentrated and more talented."
Their own roles? "Two American girls, fully clothed. No mystery. No excitement." Miss Maher put it. "We're very dull, actually."
Mais non, Mademoiselle (means "No Such thing!")
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI)—A Negro member of the late President Kennedy's staff says civil rights legislation is only the first step toward achieving Negro goals.
Ex-JFK Aide Says Rights Bill Will Not Suffice
Missouri Democratic Sen. Stuart Symington and Rep. Richard Bolling also spoke.
Noting that much of the credit for civil rights legislation passage should go to President Kennedy, Hatcher said "for the first time the full force of the federal executive authority was thrown into the fight against segregation."
Andrew Hatcher, who served as associate press secretary for the slain president, stressed that legislation cannot fill the needs of the Negro community.
Hatcher addressed about 250 persons at the annual Men's Day program of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church.
"We must be cognizant," he added,
"that integration is not a panacea."

Bolling predicted the Senate-passed version of the civil rights bill would go before the House and would be referred to the House Rules Committee, of which he is a member.
CHICAGO — (UPI) — The government said yesterday it had found a missing witness in the James R. Hoffa $25 million fraud trial in a Miami, Fla., hospital.
Asst. U.S. Atty. William O. Bittman said the witness, Eric Shinkel, is undergoing treatment for a heart condition. He said the government is seeking a court order in Miami for a doctor to examine Shinkel and determine whether he is well enough to testify.
Hoffa Witness Is Found in Hospital
Shinkel is chief bookkeeper for the Cal Kovens Construction Corp. of Miami. Calvin Kovens, head of the firm, is one of seven men charged, with Hoffa, with obtaining $25 million in loans from the Teamsters Union pension fund by fraudulent means and diverting $1.7 million of it to their own purposes.
