DEADLY WATER MOCCASIN'S ROLE Most Pampered Movie 'Actor' Bites Director, Finally Killed By ALINE MOSBT Hollywood WR) Hollywood'siiences who most pampered movie "actor" bit his director, acted only when tickled and finally had to die to jet Into the movies. This star was a five-foot long make, and his director is Gloria Cesar, a dark-eyed Peruvian. She's young and beautiful enough to be in pictures herself. But she prefers working behind the camera with Thespians who hiss and slither. The cinema eity's only female snake director has rented her reptiles to many a picture, and recently one of her "actors," a deadly water moccasin, starred in "Cry of the Swamp" at 20th Century-Fox studio. But the "star" got temperamental and took four bites out of her arm, and Miss Cesar has been recup erating ever since. gasp at snakes in moves are seeing either a trick shot or a dead snake. Often her players have to die to get into pictures. Most movie snakes are dead since it is very dangerous to work around live snakes," she explained. "Their poison never loses its potency." If a drop is left around, and 20 years Inter somebody with n cut finger touched the drop, It would be the same as if the per son had been bitten." "The first thing I did was put him back in his box so he would not bite anybody else," she said. This moccasin was featured in a scene in which he was suppos ed to bite Walter Brennan as he drank from a pond, The scene took an entire day to shoot since snakes, Miss Cesar explained, are the world's dumbest actors. "You can't teach them any thing," she added. "I got him to strike by tickling his head with a feather." Brennan was miles away dur ing this sterling performance. His part of the scene was shot weeks ago, and the snake's bite was added by trick photography.

The classroom emptied quickly. Calosso, who spoke for Italy from BBC studios in London during World War II, has been under attack by pro-fascist stu dents for some time. Late last month he was smeared with red paint while leaving the university. Louisville Papers Recommend Gen. Ike Louisville, Ky. U.R The Louisville Times has joined its sister paper, the Courier-Journal, in recommending the nomi nation of Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as the democratic and republican candidates for president, respectively. The Times reprinted an edi torial from the Sunday edition of the Courier-Journal, which said in part, "The interests of the American people would best be served if the major parties nominate these two men (Stev enson and Eisenhower) for the presidency." Both papers supported Pres ident Truman for re-election in 1948. The earth is a mean distance of 93,004,000 miles away from the sun. John Hansen states that applica tions will be accepted on Feb. 15 and 16. Growers may make their preliminary application by a telephone call to the office or visit to the county extension office. Growers who have top qual ity Willamette vetch eligible for certification may find the cer tification profitable, as there is a dangerously low supply of certified vetch seed. In 1946, 57,000 acres were produced in the Willamette valley. In 1951, only 390 acres were produced under the certification program. Hansen states that field in spections will be made in the near future on those fields where application for certifica tion is made. Asked For It to Prevent Crime Vancouver, Wash. (VP) A man who has spent half his life in prison, walked into the police station here and asked to be locked up. Unless he was, he might rob a bank, police quoted him as saying. Chief Harry Diamond identi fied the man as Terry Donovan, 54, released less than two weeks ago from the Oregon state pris on after serving four years for armed robbery. Donovan, who has served sev en sentences which total 27 years in various prisons, wants to go straight now, Diamond said Monday. So the police held him until they could find a job for him. East Salem East Salem The Garden Road Neighborhood club will meet Friday, February 15 at the home of Mrs. Ralph Werner on Garden road. A luncheon will be served at 1 o'clock.

O'NEILL For later scenes Miss Cesnr killed her star by injecting about 50 shots of formaldehyde while studio workmen "hung from the rafters." She then could mold the snake's body into any pos ition needed for the camera. Be tween shots she soaked the corpse in formaldehyde to keep It pliable. Some movie stars demand fan cy dressing rooms and limousines but acting snakes are even more temperamental. Five moccasins, imported from Georgia, died of "unhappiness" in Hollywood be fore Miss Cesar could direct them. The fifth was pampered more thnn the leading lady. "The stage had to be kept warm or the snake would go to sleep," said the snake director. "The lights and the noise both ered him, too. And he ate only a special kind of frog." After the movie was finished, this actor was made into a wallet. No other movie star oan make that statement. Washington U.R The state department expects formal ne gotiations for sea and air bases in Spain will begin about the middle of March, It was revealed today. Lincoln MacVeagh, newly named U. S. ambassador to Spain, has been called home from his present post in Portugal for consultations. When he has been briefed on his new job, he and a special military mission will leave for Madrid. In an obvious effort to smooth the way for the talks, retiring ambassador Stanton Griffis tried yesterday to take some of the sting out of President Truman's pronounced anti-Franco sent! ments. In an off-the-cuff remark at his press conference Thursday Mr. Truman said he is not very fond of Generalissimo Francisco Franco's regime. He indicated he did not favor Spain's admission to the North Atlantic Pact. After a call at the White House, Griffis issued a statement saying the president bases his opinion mainly on the "intol erable delays" in Franco's prom- lse "Wat there should be free dom of religion and of expres sion in apain. "I am assured, however, that despite tins feeling." Griffis said the president recognizes the wisdom and necessity of carry ing out the plans now under way for the establishment of air and naval facilities in Spain." He said the president also hopes that "constant contact with and exposure to Americans and to American Ideals will has ten the development in Spain of those freedoms so close to Am erican hearts." The United States wants to establish a series of air and sea bases in Spain and its North Af rican possessions to forge an other link in the European de fense system. no mopping... no scrubbing... trie easier BRUCE way!
