WAY OVER IN DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA, Irving M. Levin, San Francisco exhibitor, gets lowdown from Obu-Tbu, witch doctor, on Hollywood's film winners this year. Voodoo expert predicts: Best actor, Fredrlc March; best actress, Shelley Winters; best di rector, Wyler; best picture, "Streetcar Named Desire." (International) Witchcraft Told as Means To Quash Errant Husband Knoxville. Tenn. (U.R) A practicing disciple of witchcraft aid wives with errant husbands need only use a sly trick of sor eery to frustrate the plana of their two-timing mates. If the lonely wife will just wrap one of his neckties tightly round her leg when the rascal leaves for a date, he'll find it Impossible to make any headway In his outside courtship. It's all there In Dr. Obie Lee Roddie's little black book, along with his other "recipes" for "lay ing a burden on your enemy's heart, "winning court cases. "busting up a party" and causing "sudden death. The Knoxville witch doctor who doped out the cure-alls was himself a 'sudden death victim, A woman who said the Negro put a 24-hour death hex on her sent a bullet into his brain. Court Views Book The little black book was in troduced as evidence at the trial of Alberta Jefferson, who ar gued that his witchcraft was re sponsible for her killing him. Perhaps Roddie failed to take some of his own advice which is written in the little black book. He could have concocted a "lucky hand" of rattlesnake po tion, John the Conqueror root and love powder. Worn pinned to the underwear, it is good for three months' service. The book says Roddie could have protected his home with a witch's fire made of old shoes and sulphur. The ashes from the blaze, with a bit of black pepper stirred in, may be scattered about the yard to provide defense against evil. Like Macbeth Penned in green Ink, the "reci pe" for a witch's pot might have been the same used by Shake speare's trio In Macbeth. After brewing a few white flint rocks, pins and horse-hairs with dashes of saltpetre and blue stone for nine consecutive nights, the sor cerer whips it with nine peach tree switches, pours it into a run ning stream and exclaims, "I do this in the name of the Lord for peace to conquer my enemy." It is good for various business and love affairs. One involved in a court case may sprinkle peace powders around the court house, especial ly "where the judge and the big men sit." The pages of the witch's lore tell how to make an enemy "fall like a devil" by doing certain things to an onion. Love Made Easy An unrequisted male lover can do wonders with a needle which has been used to sew up a gown for a corpse. He simply sticks it into a shoe of his heart's desire and she is all his. You can win the love of the opposite sex with Roddie's be witching powder by sprinkling it on them when you "pretend to dust them off with your handker chief." You can "bust up people" with an egg. You can give them "run ning feet" with "chasing dust." You can "induce a fuss" with skin scraped from the bottom of your feet. You can "rebuild your nature with coon root and whiskey."

The buoy Is released as the plane begins to, jo down and water pressure activates a hydro static valve. The buoy pops to the surface, spreads .an amber dye over about an acre of the water and a blinker light goes on. The blinker winks 50 times a minute for a 40-hour period. Two flashlight batteries power the light, which is under a plastic dome and can be seen from the air for SO to 75 miles on a clear night. Fresh dye trickles out of the marker for a 24-hour period to further mark- the spot where the plane went down. The buoy is attached to the nylon twine which withstands a pull of 200 pounds. The light or dye marker on the water would lead rescuers to the cracked up plane. By fol lowing the nylon line to the plane, they could recover bodies and salvage the plane, according to the Panef Manufacturing Co., which developed the buoy. Lako Front Holdings No longer Taxablo Cleveland, O. OIK Herman David, conscientious treasurer of the Cleveland Bar Assn., has written off his lake front real estate holdings. David had a piece of property on Lake Erie near Paloesville, O-, and when he did not receive a tax bill, he called the matter to county treasurer Howard Cozad's attention. In part, this is Cozad's reply: "No bill was sent ... as there Is no lot left to tax. Due to erosion, it has all washed into the lake and we have taken It off the duplicate." Defense Effort Brlngt Boron To Foreground Washington U.RV Increased defense production has brought respectability to the non-metallic substance known as boron. The National Geographic Soci ety reports that this natural ele ment is now being widely used as an alloy of steel. Boron has been mainly used as a base for household borax. It has been discovered that the substance can be alloyed with steel In minute quantities to supplement or substitute for more critical materials which are becoming scarce.
