The people page Not just an Robert Redford is a mass of contradictions: sex symbol, family man, skier, farmer, consumer advocate. “He's not an actor who acts like he looks,’’ says Barbara Streisand, who co-starred with Redford in “The Way We Were.” ‘‘He always has something going on behind his eyes. And he’s not just an ac tor, you know. He’s an in telligent, concerned human being, so that whatever you see has more layers un derneath.” Redford’s 18-year marriage to wife Lola is a surprise to those familiar with the private lives of Hollywood superstars. Redford says, in The Saturday Evening Post: “There have been very few people in my life who have always told me the truth. Lola does. I can rely on her for ideas, support, and criticism. We challenge and stimulate each other.” McCarthy not talking The man who could resolve one of the great baseball con troversies of all time refuses to do so. Joe McCarthy, who managed both Joe Dimaggio and Ted Williams, won’t say which player was better. In a soon-to-be-released study of baseball managers, “The Man In The Dugout,” by Frank Honig (Follett), the 90- year-old McCarthy says “How the hell are you going to answer a question like that? Some people thought I might not get along with Williams. I don’t know where they got Joe McCarthy Divine versatility Bette Midler may well be the most versatile star of the ’7os. With two albums ready for release, a TV special scheduled for the fall, three movie contracts with Colum bia, and a possible lead in the New York City Ballet’s production of “The Seven Deadly Sins” — it’s getting harder and harder to define just what sort of performer she is. “I’m very dedicated to my work,” says Midler in an in terview in Stereo Review. “I really LOVE my work. I look at pictures and films and other performers — anything to get ideas. I try constantly to keep my mind going.” Despite her fascination with other performers, Midler’s style is uniquely her own. “All my records have at mosphere,” says the Divine Miss M. “When you put one r> Bv a ■ ■ r y'-'-'-BL . WMB PRINCESS GRACE of Monaco says “If women are not presented as real in today’s films, part of the blame should be placed on Women’s Liberation, it has demystified women.” In an interview in Us magazine, the former sweetheart of the American screen claims “Women’s natural role is to be a pillar of the family. It’s their physiological job. They should make themselves in teresting for their families. Women only work to get off the book and avoid their responsibilities.” actor ■■ X&***&T Iwl .. ■hrfS V- ■■ ■ ' Robert Redford that idea from. Williams was no problem. Os course I only gave him one order — hit. No insubordination there. He hit.” And Dimaggio? “Good team man, great hustler, never gave the manager any headaches. Joe had perfect judgement on a ball field, whether it was in the field or running the bases. He almost never made a mistake.” McCarthy, who now makes his home outside of Buffalo, N.Y., piloted the Chicago Cubs from 1926-30, the New York Yankees from 1931-46 and the Boston Red Sox from 1948-50. He won seven world championships with the Yankees — four of them con secutively — and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1957, even though he never played a single game in the major leagues. McCarthy says he still gets mail. “From California, Tex as, Ohio, and all over. Wan ting autographs. And a lot of them from kids. You’d be sur prised. One kid, he wrote and said he's nine years old and has been a fan of mine all his life. Can you imagine that? All his life.” on, you know it’s me. Because there ain’t nobody else in the world who’s gonna make records like that — nobody makes them. They’re either not interested or they don’t know how.” ■B Bette Midler What price ulcers? Women are finally making it in the business world, judg ing by the recent balancing out of the male-to-female ul cer ratio. In the past three decades, women have closed in on the male 20-to-l lead and are now trailing at a modest 2- to-1. Tension aside, women are still seriously lagging behind in the most important male stronghold — the salary. Statistics in Money magazine show women earn only 59 per cent of what men earn.

Johnson of Indianapolis had his third escape from cus tody end Wednesday when Fpi agents arrested him and a fe male companion in the Min neapolis suburb of Burnsville. FBI agent Floyd Hannon of Indianapolis said Johns and Vickie Groves, 32, of In dianapolis were arrested after crashing into a blockade. David Flanders, an FBI agent in Minneapolis, said the two were arrested without incident. He said the two were outnumbered by about 20-1 at the time of their capture. Page 7 — Griffin Daily News Thursday, May 12,1977 Johnson will be charged with escape from prison, according to Flanders. Kinard P. Foster, an assistant U.S. attorney, said Miss Groves would be charged with harboring a fugitive. Johnson was found guilty of two Georgia bank robberies in 1974 after being paroled from a 23-year Indiana sentence for the same crime. He twice escaped from the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta. His last escape took place on Nov. 8 in Selma, Ala., where he was to testify in a bank robbery trial. He and five other inmates sawed their way 1 to freedom with a hacksaw in 1 that escape.
