WELLINGTON, May 1. LANA TURNER complains that "because she has dinner with / a f eRow a couple of times," she is immediately called a homebreaker — "great big, lecherous Lana" — that's her. "But let me tell you something," says Lana, "I am no longer in-the Talbot suit and the only reason I was there in the'first place was that I was the only girl he knew whose name meant any- • thing to the public."

Lana Turner personaiiy expiams her romanee with millionaire Bob Topping. She says she has been silent up to now, principally because her studio told her not to talk on the matter until the appropriate time. "As for everybpdy making marriage dates 'for us, that is ridiculous. I do not know any thing about any plans for Topping to diyorce Arline Judge and marry me; and I think the things Arline said were awful." Lana's plans are vague after the next few weeks, when she will he working in M.-G.-M.'s "The Three Musketeers." Will she marry Topping then? "I never figure that far ahead; this whole business has been silly," she said. Lana says that the report of the fabulous jewels given her by Topping is untrue.
