Producer Irwin Allen had good luck with another movie that didn't bother with live, two footed actors, "The Sea Around Us.". "It was the biggest financial aueeess -KOhad,i-4r$ifr;as''lrJtg as Jane Russell, and It won an Oscar. So I decided to make an other picture without actors a documentary on animals," Al len said today. "I love to make pictures with out actors. No temperament and they're alwoys on time in the morning because they're the enly actors you can lock away at night." Script History For his "script" the producer chose history the creation of the earth three billion years ago and the arrivnl of life two billion years ago. Models of the dinosaurs and other such t?irifying thespians "act' via animation on minature sets of forests and plains. "The animal world" will show dino saurs for the first time in gor geous wide-screen color, com plete with bloody wounds as they do their usual battle to the death on the edge of a cliff. Dinosaur toys and a book, f'The Animal World" will satu rate the stores soon. Allen ex pects the Davy Crockett coon skin cap fad will be replaced by moppets clutching dinosaurs. The rest of the movie will show the development of ani mal? and their place in legend and history, from Hannibal to modern zoos and household pets. As for "The Sea Around Us," 4he movie-makers of "The Ani mal World" actually are scien tists and explorers around the world. Wealth of Film . Nearly two years ago Allen wrote every zoo, university, mu seum and government in tfle wortd asking for film of animal life. His office at Warner Studio by now is crammed with cans of film lion scenes from the Union of South Africa, films of microscopic organisms from the University Netherlands, scenes of leopards and tigers from the British ' Mustoim. ' "Admiral , Byrd turned over all of his penqum and polar bear f Ums to, us," said Allen. "We will have eventually 3,000,000 feet of film, of which we'll use 10, 000." ; ; . The movie company shot part of the picture at the museum of natural history in New York. Oscar-winner -Allen used to produce Groucho Marx come dies, and he is happy to have switched from . slapstick to science.. .. "This is a far cry from Grou cho," admitted " the producer. "Some nights I dream of being chased by dinosaurs but Groucho protects me."

United Press Correspondent London (U.R) Now that the tourist season is underway every Lbig restaurant has a floorshow. , ine periormers are me Amer ican tourists and the audience is composed 'of native Britons. They watch in fascinatipn how Americans switch their knives and forks while eating. Sid Colin watches them par ticularly intently. A movie script writer by profession, he gained some international fame or notoriety a couple of years ago by making a trans-Atlantic radio broadcast suggesting Am ericans should learn table man ners. Blasts Procedure He alleged it . was ridiculous for a sensible man to cut food with the knife held in the right hand, drop the knife, pick up the fork with the right hand, eat the morsel, switch the fork to the left hand, the knife to the right hand, cut and shift, cut and shift etcetera. But Colin admits his critique had little effect : A great fan of American in genuity in other fields, Sid can- Judgeship Lack Blamed on Politics Washington (U.R) Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said yesterday "politics" has pre vented President Eisenhower from filling a vacancy on the U. S. District Court in Oregon. . "It seems to be a case of poli tics and patronage first and judical needs second," Neuber ger said in a Senate speech. He said Judge James A. Fee was elevated to the court of appeals April 30, 1954. "For 12 months since that day, the Eisenhower administra tion has virtually turned its back upon the vacant judgeship in Oregon while the Republican party engaged in guerrilla war fare over the job," said Neuber- He said he, a Democrat, did not expect to be consulted about the appointment, but that it should not be held up "because of political skirmishing in the Republican party over who should get this choice plum."

' " PETRI WINE CO., SAN fRANCISCO, CAUF. not understand how Americans contrive to make eating so com plicated. Europeans hold the fork always in the left hand, the knife always in the right so there is no shifting. With both hands firmly grip ping useful implements, Euro peans do not have to use bread surreptitiously as a "pusher" as Sid claims he has often seen Americans do. Sly Finger as Pusher "Occasionally," he avers. "I have seen a bit of vegetable pushed on to a fork with a sly finger. This is certainly not cricket." Sid's big extracurricular cru sade of the moment is to convince Americans tney miss a lot by eating in "sequence" instead of in "combination." For example, take a dish of pork chops with French fried potatoes and string beans. An American, according to Sid. eats a bit of pork, then he eats a bit of potato and then he eats a bit of string beans. A Briton con fronted with the same dish makes every mouthful a small cross-section of the total offer ing. . Americans are inclined to re gard this method as somewhat messy. But it must have its charms because, arter the inter view, I went over to the Ameri can embassy canteen and watched the American staff at lunch. Washington is herewith advised that there is a lot of un-American eating going on.
