By ANDREW SLOAN

China Mail Feature

FAMOUS Broadway actor and singer, Hayes Gordon, now in Hongkong, wants to come back here after a trip to Australia to build a diesel-engined cabin junk to cruise around the Australian coast.

His favourite pastime is sailing.

"It would need to have a good diesel engine and instead of cargo space. I would have comfortable living quarters built," he said.

"Then I'd sit around the Aus- tralian coast. There you get some of the most beautiful views anywhere in the world.

"Then I con relax and think out scripts with no one to bother ma.

"This is my dream--but unfor- tunately there are many db- stacies between the dream and Ks faliment, But I do want to come back to Hongkong,
