"I like the same people around me. I don't like strangers. I'm a stubborn so-and-so. I hate arguing." ; I milled around the "Lone Star" set and quizzed some of "The King's" longtime associates. S Lew Smith, who met Clark on a polo field, has been his stand-in since 1935. Head electrician "Shug" Keelcr, with Gable on 25 pictures, could take credit in a small way if he wanted to for the fact that Clark is still on the screen. In an early film, the director tried pasting Gable's celebrated big ears closer to his head with spirit gum. After a take or two, Clark was disgusted. He walked behind some scenery, ripped off the stick urn, and growled, "I can make $300 a week in New York." - He was on the verge of quitting. Keeler '".old him he'd make a mil lion in pictures and, "If you walk out that door, you'll never work in Hollywood again." Gable got his ears re-glued and returned to the set. Wardrobe Man Morris Brown (nine Gable pictures) thinks the "stable" stays on because "We know his ways." These include cof fee or tea at 4 p.m. Still Photog rapher Eddie Hubbell (six pictures):-"If he says he'll pose for a certain picture, he'll do it." Gable nixed one pose. An aide trotted up with ice-cream cones and wanted him and Loretta Young to lick them while in their little kid costumes for "Key to the Routine Walk Covers Ground KANSAS CITY, Mo.

When Andy was down with a, throat infection, Clark lug ged soup to him from the post ex change. '.. Gable expects others to live up to any agreement. He and the still photographer drove to a Colorado location, changing off at the wheel every 100 miles.

The huge canopy under the dome, 180 feet from the floor, is a Brumidi fresco. Tourists have gap ed up at it for years. A frieze that he began later, 100 feet from the floor, was 'never finished. Brumidi died in 1880 after a fall from a scaffolding: He was 75. and im poverished. The government did not even know where he had been buried, or little else about the man who now Is being described as the "Michel angelo of the Capitol," until Myrtle Cheney Murdock came here as a congressman's wife back in 1936. The insatiable curiosity of the wife of Rep. John R. Murdock (D. Ariz.) led her to uncover many little known but highly interest ing facts about "Uncle Sam's head quarters". She finally wrote a book, "Your Uncle Sam In Washington," in which she shares her .findings with other Americans. The volume contained 'a small chapter on Brumidi, but Mrs. Mur dock was not content to stop with that. She went out hunting for his grave, searching old records of nearby cemeteries. She finally found it lot 70 in Glenwood ceme tery, about seven years ago. A year ago Congress passed a bill to put a bronze marker on the grave.

The Chi cago White Sox were training in Waxahachie's old Jungle Park 31 years ago when a 12-year-old, boy climbed over the fence to see an exhibition game. William J. (Kid). Gleason, man ager of the Sox, was in a playful mood and he chased the boy half way to the stands much ' to the amusement of the fans. The youngster's name was Paul Rapier Richards. Today he's manager of the Chicago White Sox and the talk of the baseball world. Also, Jungle Park now is called Richards Field in honor of the boy who crawled over the fence. But Waxahachie fans didn't wait until Sleepy Richards had an American League club . to name the town baseball field after him.
