hilarious legal snafu. The prosecutors of 3 counties were wildly tossing the hot potato to each other, denying "venue"-for it seems that wild ride had covered 3 counties and nobody made any notes on exactly where who was doing what to whom!

FLORIDA STILL VERY WARM FOR MAE

The witchhunt is still going on in Florida which about a year ago set up a special investigation on sex deviation by a State Legislative Investigating Committee. In Tallahassee alone, 36 men in 2 months were convicted for soliciting for lewd acts at the Greyhound bus station. Governor Bryant says series of schools has been set up for law enforcement officers, to acquaint them with the problem and how to deal with it. Also that outstanding authorities on the subject will be brought in to lecture, which could be good-if they pick the right "authorities." But a quote from the actual head of one of the "schools" is that "We are seeking to emphasize to these law enforcement officials that cases made against such individuals should be based on evidence carefully collected and properly presented." In other words, how to nab 'em, nail 'em, and make it stick.

TRAGIC TRIANGLE

The Michigan papers ran the photos of the man and the 2 women. who were all schoolteachers in their late 20's, showing all 3 were remarkably attractive. Patricia Hite had "shared a home," as the papers phrased it, with Marilyn Fair for 4 years. Then the latter became engaged to Hubert Kreitmeyer. The man was found shot dead in his apartment and a murder charge issued against Miss Hite, who finally was tracked down

HONEY, YOU'RE STILL JUST A QUEEN, YOUR MOTHER IS STILL ALIVE:

"My name is Countess Rowena de Silva of Greece," the superbly groomed blonde in the Rolls-Royce loftily told the London cops. The hit-and-run chase had been instigated and joined by an infuriated tourist, a Mr. Schneider of Old Nichol Street, Shoreditch, whose car (a lowly Rover) had been banged into by the Rolls-Royce.

Days later, in court-and, brazenly, still dressed as a womenthe 29-year-old man, Robin Ashton-Rose, gave a statement which is one of the most l'adylike quotes of the year: "I dared not disclose that I was a man at the time or the other driver would have set about me. He was extraordinarily abusive."

Mr. Ashton-Rose admitted he had gotten flustered and had given. the cops the name of his mother (who actually is a Countess!) He was fiined five pounds for giving a false name and not stopping after an accident. He paid it, and with Italian hairdo, painted fingernails, high heels, and wearing what the press called "a black two-piece," got back in his RollsRoyce and drove away.

OF MANY THINGS, OF CABBAGES & QUEENS:

A certain group of Bob Horton fans are wailing they're wearing nothing but black drag after their idol leaves WAGON TRAIN. Some say they might even picket the studio. Which reminds us of the
