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.
In faot, Gloria confided, aud-
Hornets Empty
Lecture Room
Rome UP) Pro-fascist stu
dents released 100 hornets Wed
nesday during a lecture at
Rome university by Prof. Urn
berto Calosso. 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.

Negotiations for Sea and Air
Bases in Spain Begin Soon
By MICHAEL J. 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.
