The couple entertained at a] small receptioif in the penthouse at the Sahara. "Everybody in town was at my last wedding,'* 'Tutor told me, "and it didn't turn out so well. (It ended in divorce in January sand she had his child a few weeks ago in Portland.) "I really | never wanted all that fuss and feathers. I thinK quiet ceremonies are much better." Severer, one of the original gamblers to stake out a claim in Las Vegas still is burning over the publicity he got in the Mabel Monahan murder case. ^^^^ j "It got real funny to read the stories," he said, j "Nobody ever mentioned the name of the woman ?who was killed.

"The poker chips he was talking about have i been in the attle for about four years. Nobody iused them. I wouldn't get in an 'automobile with | !any of those characters involved. "The whole thing "Was such a pitiful thing j ! because Mrs. Monahan was; away from homo | 13 so much of the time they could have gone | ! into the place and searched it when she \\ I wasn't there.

During July I estimate they will all to- | gether pay about $500,000 for name acts, musicians, chorus girls and secondary acts. Among the stars who'll be here are Red Skel- Iton at the Sahara for $32,000 or thereabouts a week, Milton Berle at the Sands for $20,000, Tony Martin at the Flamingo for about $16,000, Vic.

Green's Career By BILL ROZELLE fjlli Post Real Estate Editor The opening of the luxurious $300$)0 Western Skies Motel on Old Spanish Trail Tuesday will offer a real climax to Owner Leon Green's building career, which has covered more than 23 years. I^^^fi Back in 1930 Mr Green, attending Houston Junior College (now the University of Houston), went into the building game when his father became ill. During this period he erected eight duplexes on Char t r e s Street to start a career that has brought o n ma n y much larger projects. THIS BEGINNING. wasn't exactly a peaches- and-cream sit- u.ation, for the young b u i 1 d e r's schedule included staying on the job constantly from 7 AM until 3:30 PM when he started classes. These classes lasted until 10:30 PM. From this time until past midn|ght the energetic Mr Green practiced football, -f-y^l When his father, Harry Green, died during 1932's deepest depression days, Mr Green went into the real estate business, primarily selling and managing property. He resumed contracting in ROZELLE LEON GREEN Big Day Tuesday 4ptMfc 1934 and started a production program which included apartment construction in River Oaks, Weshington Terrace and other parts of Houston. k'-w.-V In 1936 the likable Mr Green, who's usually so busy mulling over new ideas that he's likely to shoTS. iip for a business ap- pointmI|te5a. couple of days late, pgiiied the ABC Lumber Company at 3116 Jensen Drive. NHe still operates this firm, though it is managed by his brother Sam." ^jlll ENLISTING IN the m S. Army Engineers Corp in 1942, Mr Green was sent to Alaska where he served for four years. While in this snowey climate he helped with the construction of the famous Al- can Highway. Before his army service ended he also helped build a secret base in the Aleutians. Later tfc S. planes flew out of this base and kept the Jans from landing' at Dutch Harbor. After leaving the army 1946, he went back into the | building business, concentrating on the construction of | apartments and- homes Riverside Terrace and along I MacGregor Way. Also during 1946 he became a partner in Radio Station ' KNUZ and is now a stockholder in the upcoming KNUZ-TV. In 1950 Contractor Green built a 51-office structure on Fannin Street just off West Gray Avenue. During the same year he took his first step in the motel ] business when he constructed the Cloverleaf Motel on South Main Street. THE SWANK Western Skies is the culmination of plans the builder started working on after a trip he made to " Las Vegas and Fort Worth two summers ago. He got a look at Jakie Freedman's Sands_ Hotel iiL Nevada arrdtHe Vl/feMeM Hill? combination hotel - motel in Fort Worth and immediately started plans for. a similar- setup for Houston. He hired Architect Bailey Swenson and in October, 1952, started work on his "dream motel" On OST. ?╟≤ Houston Brick Mason Thomas D. Vinson has come up with a revolutionary invention that should speed up brick work "and make it much easier as well as cut costs. The new process consists of using copper-clad steel balls, mixed in with- the cement, which will insure uniform joints. This business of get- tag.uniform joints has been ohe of the biggest headaches in the brick laying business for many years. Mr Vinson has worked on the process since April, 1950, and along with 31 others, has now formed a corporation to produce ready-mix cement sacked with the balls in it. This corporation, to go under the name Easy Lay Mortor Mix Company, will have a slogan "The Balls Lay the Brick." ?? The Independent Exploration Company has purchased a 100 by 175-foot site directly behind its office and plant in the 1900 Block of West Gray mixed in with the cement, property, which contains a one- story residence, was bought for future expansion. The business department of Frank P. Young Realtors negotiated the $16,000 deal. ?╟≤ A masonry two-story commercial structure at 2607-09 Milam St has been purchased from Mrs Ida C. Dwire . by Carlton P.* Phillips. Mr. "Phillips, owner of Maytag Houston Company which is located on the first floor of ' the building, bought the building as an investment and plans to remodel and air condition some 3,000 square feet of space for lease as offices. The transaction was handled by the Peebles, Realty Company, which reported the price as $37,500. Established isss BArclay 7-5371 PRESS CLIPPIN^miREAU 165 Church Street - New York LOS ANGELES, CALIF.
