England was making a daring gamble by excluding her spin bowlers and rely. lng on pare to win the first Test, according to cricket writer Hugh Buggy In today's

· BEGINNING HER STORY

"I AM RESTLESS, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RESTLESS,'

SAYS AVA GARDNER

By J. M. RUDDY

On the desk beside the window was a passport. The lights of Hollywood gleamed and glittered in vast necklaces of amber, emerald, ruby and diamond. I watched searchlights fingering the night sky, reaching towards the moon and the faint stars.
