It is the first exclusive interview with the millionaire novelist, Carlee Thomas McClendon of Edgefield, South Carolina. The reporter was granted a personal interview with Mr. McClendon because she attended college with him.) Carlee Thomas McClendon sat in the living room of his pent house apartment dressed in a silk lounging jacket, ascot, trousers and slippers, on the afternoon of the interview. On the table beside his chair was a mink-covered telephone. Exquis ite works of art adorned the walls of the antique furnished room. In this luxurious atmosphere, Mr. McClendon's thoughts drift ed back to the days when he was a student at the University of South Carolina. He spoke of his happy career there as a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. "Yes," he said, "Carolina was a perfect school for me. I truly enjoyed the many activities in which I was engaged during those carefree days. I worked on the staff of our yearbook, the Nth @ @L ar in duas partes divisa oi Claudius, crack marksman of t im. "People come from Nero ai bad-eye.

I was, and still am, a member of Sigma Delta Chi, a national journalism fraternity. As a member of the "Y" cabinet, secretary of the advisory board, to be exact, I made many lasting friendships." "Of course, I know that you did enjoy your college days, Mr. McClendon," I said, "but, tell me something about your early life in Edgefield and why you de cided to become a novelist." The famed author explained that his youth in Edgefield made him fully aware of the as tounding aspects of its local history. His love for the legends that surrounded Edgefield County induced him to write three important historical nov els. His first novel was the story of a legendary woman of Edge field County which won him fame and fortune. The book copped the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes and a motion picture based on the book won the Academy Award. Since that time Mr. McClen don has produced various other novels and short stories. He owns and publishes the New York Daily Report, the world's largest newspaper, and the CARL McCIENDON Tareyton 7**nM DVA delivers IU e flavor...

"My first literary adventure was quite prosperous, and as a result I decided to do all of the things I had dreamed of doing all my life. I traveled around the world, visiting every known country. Last year I made a good-will tour to Venus for the United States government. I certainly did enjoy it, but I prefer life on the earth." "For the benefit of our read ers, Mr. McClendon, would you tell us some of the other things which you have accomplished?" "Yes, yes. As many people al ready know, I invested success fully in stock and other business ventures. Later, I purchased a castle in Scotland, my ancestral homeland. The ground floor of the castle is furnished com pletely in antiques, while the second floor is done in ultra modern. I also own a colonial home in Edgefield, which I live in at least one month of the year. My bungalow in Hawaii is usually so crowded with guests that there isn't enough room for me. But I really don't mind because I always enjoy entertaining old friends. Marty and Fred have been visiting there for three EER SIT! CHARCOAL !LTER /1011 .... ..u M ....... years." Mr. McClendon smiled and re mained silent for a few minutes. When questioned about his thoughts he replied. "I was just reminded of a pet I once had . . . a skunk named 'Sweets.' I bought it be cause most people hate skunks and I like to take up for min ority groups." The mink telephone purred and Mr. McClendon answered. It was a long distance call from London concerning a rather large business deal. He acted de cisively during the next five minutes and the contract was agreed upon, resulting in a net profit of $15 million. Although Mr. McClendon has gained riches since the time of his graduation from the Univer sity of South Carolina, he re mains a simple man, uncorrup ted by his wealth. He keeps in close touch with his many friends from college days. Once a year he gives a reunion party for his college class and flies each person and his family to some exotic city for a week's round of relaxation, parties, and sightseeing. Mr. McClendon still retains an old college hobby . . . col lecting tie pins. In his Univer sity days he had about 400. To day his collection numbers close to 500,000. He owes his tremendous suc cess to the fact that he never makes plans in advance. Every decision is made on the spur of the moment. He hates to spend money in small amounts. He would rather spend $1,000 than fifteen cents. Much of his success, he says, is due to the brilliant faculty of the School of Journalism at Carolina. He has dedicated many of his books and plays to the men who taught him in his stu dent days. Mr. McClendon recalls a time in his youth when he drowned a biddie in a large barrel of water. On another occasion he F. JIappy Sec LAUNDRY a BIia1-Enr Wants tc many fi very Happ shot a frog. Those were the only two animals he has ever killed and at the time he experienced no remorse. "If I had not wanted to kill them, I wouldn't have done it. My young mind felt no sorrow for that merciless slaughter." Henri, the world - famous French chef, is employed by Mr. McClendon to prepare his din ners. A universally known con noisseur, he enjoys three large meals each day. Whenever he travels, he takes Henri with him to do the cooking and to supervise his parties. Not since the days of Perle Mesta, has the world known such elaborate parties as those given by Mr. McClendon. A tremendous inspiration to his career, as an author, was his meeting with Carl Sandburg in the summer of 1961. He remem bers that Mrs. Sandburg sold goat milk to him. To this day, he drinks nothing but goat milk. At this moment, the chime of the diamond studded clock on the mantle announced- the hour of 5:00. Mr. McClendon rose, thanked me for coming, and hur ried off to dress for his flight to Washington to confer with the president.
