Beauty Title Disagreement
fN.Z. Press Assn.— Copyright.) SAN DIEGO (California), August 18.
The climax had come. The crown was being lowered by Bob Hope on the lovely blonde head of "Miss World-U.S.A." Just then the losers began walking off the stage in a tizzy, United Press International reported. “Miss Kansas,” Miss Jade Hagen, cried that it was a “fraud.” She and four others said they were going to get a lawyer. The winner, Miss Johnine Leigh Avery, a television script writer in Los Angeles but representing the State of Washington, was so thrilled that she did not seem to notice the walk-off by half a dozen or so of the 44 contestants—all still in bathing suits.
