(International) ' Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood -U.R) Pier An geli becomes5 the year's 'No. 1 Hollywood bride .Wednesday ' at - an elaborate, formal wed- . ding, but to day, like - any bride - to - be, she sighed - girlishly, "I hope it's - the right, thing? : " - Pier an singer, Vic Damone " will . Atoe Moibr , precede t h a t " other MGM' actress-crooner com bination, Debbie and Eddie, with a Catholic church wedding also featuring Gordon MacRae and a 40-voice choir and 700 guests. : "I'm a little nervous," smiled Pier when I caught up with her between fittings on her white chiffon Juliet -style wedding gown in designer Helen Rose's MGM offices. "Every morning when I get up, I think, oh, I hope it's the right thing." But then the pixieish actress added, "I'm getting married only once. So I want everything in my trousseau from 'Rome, ex cept for my wedding dress." -; The beautiful Italian actress, to the surprise of most of Holly wood and apparently sometimes herself r- became engaged to Da mone last. month.; She had been the steady date ' first of Kirk ' Douglas, then of English actor SF-Cenfral America Air Route Favored San Francisco (U.R) The San Francisco Board of, Supervisors voted unanimously yesterday for a resolution favoring a direct air route between San Francisco and Central America on Pan American World Airways. Pan American's northern term inus for its . Central American service is now Los Angeles. This terminus . was established four years ago when the government granted Pan American a tempor ary certificate for the service.' Pan American at .thej time sought a San Francisco terminus. It is now renewing that request in its application for a perman nent certificate. ... .. ' i James Dean. ' Damone' was a sometime date - of Pier's years ago but more' recently he had courted' other actresses, includ ing Pier's, sister, .Marissa Pavan. "Vic , used to . come over to our house to help: us. with the dishes," said Pier. "He was a friend of the family." f The actress, still, with the same long,' brown hair and fresh face she brought to Hollywood three years ago, said . she and Damone- met'' briefly in-, 1951 when. he was singing at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York. Two years ago she .was work ing in Munich and Damone, sta tioned there in the Army, tele phoned her to come hear : his show. - They dated every night, and "almost got engaged except I was too young and. besides, I was returning to Hollywood." After Damone left the Army a year ago i and joined Pier's studio, MGM, they datedonly occasionally.. Restaurant; Proposal ; , "Finally on Oct. 4 we ran into each other at the studio and went to a nearby restaurant," she said breathlessly. , "We put nickels in the jukebox and kept dancing. He said, 'Hey, let's get engaged. ' "I didn't think he meant it. Next night I saw him at a party and he. said he would prove he meant it. He telephoned his parents in -New York and then mine." .... V'; Damone, armed with a quart of spumoni ice cream, called upon-Pier's mother to ask for the daughter's hand in the old world manner. : : ? Pier asked 700 filmtowners to the. 11a. m. double-ring wedding at St. Timothy's Church in near by Westwood," and" 250 to the lunch reception at the Bel-Air hotel. MGM executive Eddie Marinix will give' her away. The bridesmaids will include Finnish actress Taina . Elg, Elaine and Sandra Damone, ; Vic's sisters, and Marissa Pavan. Best man will be. business, manager . Bo Ross Jr. ' The couple will honeymoon in Las Vegas while Vic sings at-theSands hotel. Then she'll fly to South America for .si film. But Pier shrugs off the separa tion. " . ' '--' - "Our each having careers will take adjustment," she said.' ..-j , Sc ie ntists P rove : Rats Use Rada r To " 1 Find Way in Dark Berkeley, Calif. (U;R) A team of psychologists from the University -of - Californie report ed today they have found the first positive evidence 'that rats use a type of ' radar to scurry safely around in the dark. -' The scientists have just com pleted a series of . experiments based on earlier research by other doctors which showed that rats, like bats, produce and hear ultrasonic noises far too nigh for humans to distinguish.' ' Rati Blinded , In . the . Berkeley, laboratories, blinded rats appeared to produce these high pitched sounds, then picked them "i up when they bounced off -solid objects.; there by revealing clear safe paths to the animals. , " . j" . ;, . The. "scientists, who will re port, their .findings in the-forth coming issue of a technical jour nal, are doctors Donald A.' Riley, Mark R. Rosenweig and David Krech The doctors forced the rats to run through a maze, rewarding them at the end with food. From time to. time, passages in the maze, would be blocked off to discover if the rats could remem ber their way, f The rats sometimes picked the wrong tunnel, but corrected the mistake ' before hitting their heads against the block in the pathway. - . In further tests, the doctors placed . the barriers diagonally across ( the , runway . instead of flush . across. This caused many failures in the animals' " detect ing apparatus because; the sounds were reflected away rather than towards them, Liquor Outlets Warned On Sales To Minors Portland (U.R) The Oregon State Liquor Commission said today that warnings are being sent out to all alcoholic beverage outlets in the state against sales to minors and urging use of ah identification form for protection of licensees'." : s.;:;'v Commissioners said they ex pected that use of .( the "S-10" forms by bartenders would re sult in fewer sales to persons under 21." The form is! a signed statement from customers ac companied by at least two docu ments of identification. In a meeting in Portland, the commission - also urged against use of the word' "lounge' in the trade name of a licensee.. Com missioners' said about one-third of all outdoor liquor advertising in the, state is in violation of commission regulations and warnings were ordered issued to violating, firms. - .:;. HE USED THEM ' Miami (U.R) Detectives had no . trouble catching the alleged thief, who stole $428 and two football tickets to : the - Miami- Alabama game. They found the suspect, Eugene Moore, 31, at the game. - - , :. 4 k 1 ife Kew sprayer fights cable-boring beetles. Astounding; as it, may seem, there's a kind of beetle that can eat right through the lead cover of a telephone cable. The beetle's : so tiny it's hard to see. But the hole it leaves can let harmful moisture inside a cable. To , prevent this; telephone people use a special repellent,, which used to be brushed on cables ' entirely Jay hand. But the new sprayer pulled by!a man on the ground puts the repellent on three times faster. By saving valuable time, this cuts the cost of guarding cables. So it's -a big help in bringing you good telephone service that's high in value and low in price. Pacific Telephone works to make your telephone a bigger value every day. As conclusive nroof. the doc tors said, they stopped up the rats' ears. Unable to hear, ; they had a difficult time solving the maze. v' In a typical test, the rat often stood at the starting point on its hind legs. It opened . its mouth and moved its head from side to side as if scanning the area around it. After a moment's hesitation, it took off aggressive ly down the pathway to the food DOX. . '" Gas Tax Hike Fails To Win Approval Salem (U.R) A proposal by the State Highway Commission that Oregon's gasoline tax be hiked two cents, to eight cents a gallon, failed to win approval of the : Legislature's Interim Highway Committee yesterday. Committee " members said be fore giving an OK to such an increase.-they wanted to study President .Eisenhower's proposed big mulibiliion dollar road build ing program. ' ; r State Engineer R. H. Baldock told committee members an in crease was needed in order for Oregon to meet its minimum highway needs. - ; V " Man Fnoys California, Pays $10 for Privilege Sacramento,1 Calif. (U.R) The state franchise . tax board received a letter and a $10 check from a Palo Alto man even though he didn't' owe any taxes. "I am of the opinion," said the letter from Paul Madsen, "that since it has been a great pleas ure to me to live in this state I do owe it something in exchange for its great service to not only me but every one in this state and, to help out in keeping it so. I am enclosing my check for $10 as my contribution for that end." DOUBLE DUTY :; Scotts Bluff, Neb. (U.R) Fire men sprayed water on a burning coal field as they drove past it Monday on their way to another fire. ' -v.-' ;. .;v Stevenson Hints Possible Retirement Southern Pines, - N.C.

Stevenson returned to Chicago after a week's vacation today, leaving behind a hint that he intends to retire soon from public! life. :- , In thanking residents for" their hospitality during his rest from the fall political campaign the 1952 Democratic presidential candidate said he did not expect to be an object of public7 curiosi ty much longer." ' Stevenson did not . elaborate on his' remark except to add that he had been "among the un employed too long? and was anxious to get back to his law practice.
