Attraction Is Still There

(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) NEW YORK.

Francine Gottfried, the shapely Brooklyn girl who stopped Wall Street last summer, still has her old drawing power, the Associated Press reported. She tried a springtime stroll in a bright red sweater and the result was an instant traffic jam. Miss Gottfried is a 21-year-old business machine operator whose vital statistics are 43-25-37. This fact drew crowds of up to 15,000 admiring men last September when word spread that she appeared at the same subway station each day. Since then she has used alternate routes to reach work and avoided gathering crowds. But for assurance that she retains her magnetic powers, she took the old route again last week. Within moments after she stepped out of the subway she was surrounded by hundreds of men and traffic stopped in the street. She said later in an interview that she has turned down more than $400,000 in offers to strip or dance topless. “I don’t need that kind of attention.” she said.
