Gleason to wed
MIAMI (UPI) — Entertainer Jackie Gleason, divorced
less than a month from his second wife, will marry
Marilyn Taylor Horwich, a widow he met 25 years ago,
next Tuesday at a private Miami club.
Mrs. Horwich, who has a 13-year-old son, is a sister of
June Taylor, whose dance troupe appeared on many of
Gleason’s television shows in the 1950 s and 19605.
She met the 57-year-old actorcomedian for the first time
in 1950, when she was a member of the dance group
appearing on the “Cavalcade of Stars” show in which
Gleason starred. At the time, Gleason was estranged from
his first wife, Genevieve, whom he divorced in 1969 after
33 years of marriage. A second marriage to Beverly
McKittrick also ended in divorce Nov. 19.
Mrs. Horwich left show business in 1956 and moved to
Chicago, where she later married businessman George
Horwich.
The two were reunited last year when Mrs. Horwich
moved to south Florida to be near her sister.
Rose Mary retires
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Former President Richard M.
Nixon’s personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods, has
retired from the government payroll.
The General Services Administration said Wednesday
Miss Woods, who earned $36,000 a year, was on the federal
payroll after Nixon resigned Aug. 9, 1974, until her own
retirement Nov. 22. She was paid during that period as
part of a transition staff arranged for the former
president by Congress.
She reportedly will receive an annual pension of $15,000.
Atheist wants equal time
AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI) — Atheist Madalyn Murray
O’Hair says the Sam Houston State University Student
Senate is violating the separation of church and state with
a “Campus Crusade for Christ” and should either revoke
its sponsorship or give her equal time to promote atheism.
Mrs. O’Hair said Wednesday the Student Senate voted
to spend S2OO from student registration fees at the state
school to bring evangelist Josh McDonald to the
Huntsville campus.
“You must be apprised that this is a wholely
unconstitutional exercise on your part and a serious
breach of the principle of separation of state and church,
upon which our nation was predicated,” she said in a
letter to the Senate.
“If you persist in the exercise of this impermissible
involvement of state and church, I will have no other
course than to demand a similar paid appearance for
myself in order to discourse on the evils of statechurch
marriage and of Christianity.” She said her fee was
$2,000.
To play for children
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — Be-bop pioneer and jazz
great Dizzy Gillespie will be blowing his curved trumpet
for San Francisco school children.
The San Francisco School Board has voted to hire
Gillespie and his group for $12,500 to perform a series of
“workshops” at the the city’s public schools.
The project, financed by federal and state grants, was
described as “designed to develop reading and math
curriculum through jazz.”
CAB member quits
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Civil Aeronautics Board
member Robert D. Timm has resigned in protest against
alleged harassment by White House staff members.
“My resignation is not voluntary but is submitted solely
out of respect for the President,” Timm said in a letter to
President Ford Wednesday.
He said White House “staff criticism of me is based
upon disagreement with my public position on regulatory
policies and not on my qualification to hold this office.”
Timm, 54, said that “for the past several months,
members of the White House staff have been requesting
my resignation and threatening unauthorized
administrative proceedings and other actions which ...
can only serve to harass.”
A spokesman for Timm declined to elaborate on the
disagreements but said the fiveyear CAB member
“intends to comment further on those areas shortly.”

OFFSHORE OIL
AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI) - More
than 18,000 oil and gas wells
have been drilled in U.S.
offshore waters, including
15,200 in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Transcontinental Gas
Pipeline Co. says only four
significant oil spills have
occurred from offshore explora
tion, and none resulted in
permanent damage to the
environment.
The gas company said only
about three per cent of the
outer continental shelf has been
opened by government for
leasing.
