    Movie Not Shown
Notre Dame Team;
Listed Objectional
Hollywood (U.P.) A movie
version of the Broadway musical,
"Guys And Dolls," was not
shown to the Notre Dame foot
ball team Friday night reported
ly because the five-million-dollar
film had been listed objection
able in part by the Catholic
Legion of Decency.
Crooner Bing Crosby, who has
been the host of the Notre Dame
team for years on its visit here
to play the University of South
ern California, took the team, in
stead, to a special showing of
Danny Kaye's latest comedy,
"The Court Jester."
Scanty Costumes
The Catholic Legion of Decen
cy listed the film objectionable
in part because of a strip tease
and scanty costumes of some
dancers.
Crosby called Goldwyn Stu
dios earlier this week and asked
for a print of the musical to
show to the team. But after the
Legion of Decency included the
film on its list, a spokesman for
Crosby called the studio and
said, "We made other arrange
ments." The studio, however, said it
had not definitely promised to
show the film and added that no
print was available.
Friends of Crosby said several
Catholic laymen had called to
object to showing pictures on the
banned list to the team.

On The Side
(Distributed by King
Los Angeles probably has the
country's most efficient police
traffic squad. Howeve it is
open to argument. The New York
traffic squad must be consid
ered. Los Angeles has more
motor cars than any other city
in the world. However, they have
a very wide area to travel in.
There are probably as many au
tomobiles on Manhattan Island
in the daytime as there are in
Los Angeles. Yet Manhattan is
only two miles wide at the
widest and twelve miles in
length. Then consider how the
area for cars to move in is cut
down by a poor parking system
plus the world's worst illegal
parking situation. Yes, sir, the
New York traffic cops really
have a problem. Under the cir
cumstances their handling of it
is remarkable.

High Fidelity can be attained only

COMPONENTS made for home as-

cause of smaller sales volume, and
they cost more to mII. Our own Mag-

higher costs. As for cabinets, the
truth is that they represent only about
15 per cent of the total cost of a
complete instrument. And because of
volume production, this cost is actu-
ally lower than that for a comparable
piece of good furniture.
Magnovox has been the pioneer in
sound reproduction since 1915, a'nd
was the first to develop the electro-
dynamic speaker which is the voice
of every modern sound system. Some
of our pioneer inventors are still with

Get It Right
What is a baron of beef? How
much does it weigh? These
queries appear to have started
a series of heated arguments
among chefs and maitre d's of
Manhattan. A baron of beef is a
cut of beef consisting of undi
vided loins. The weight varies.
Depends on size of the carcass.
Usually is about 18 per cent of
total weight. With a carcass of
600 pounds the baron will be 108
pounds. One of the Stuart kings
knighteS a loin of beef, calling
it Sir Loin. So it happened that
twin loins were given the title
of "baron."

University Testing
New Antibiotic Drug
Portland (U.R) The Univer
sity of Oregon Medical School
revealed Saturday that it is test
ing a new antibiotic drug that
may replace penicillin in the
fight against infection.
Known as albamycm, -the new
drug has been found effective
in treatment of bacterial infec
tions of the skin, lungs, bone,
urinary tract and blood stream.
Dr. James A. Dugger, Upjohn
Company's clinical investigator
who is working with Dr. Norman
A. David in the university s
pharmacology department, said
the drug had produced the high
est blood level ever obtained
with an antibiotic.
Dr. Dugger said albamycin
has shown no "cross resistance"
with other antibiotics and would
thus kill -infections not touched
by other drugs.
Woo Sale Cuts Surplus

Portland (U.R) Pacific Wool
Growers Association Saturday
said the government's third
weekly national surplus wool
sale this week got rid of 3.643,-
000 pounds of surplus wool.
In addition., there were bids
on a total of 22 million pounds
of the surplus commodity.
The association, which was in
formed of the sale results by
the department of agriculture,
said an estimated 150,000 pounds
of wool stored in Portland were

Jury Indicts Four '
In Connection With
Big Narcotics Ring
Portland UR) A narcotics
ring was broken up Friday
by federal and local police, who
arrested four persons indicted
secretly by the Multnomah
county grand jury.
Police said "a large amount"
of marijuana was found in the
apartment of one of the suspects.
Police said the ring, one of the
largest to operate here in re
cent years, was headed by Sears
(Ricardo) Richardson, 36, who
was charged with three counts
of illegal sale of narcotics and
one count of possession. Bail was
set at $10,000.
Illegal Sal
Also arrested and charged
with illegal sale included Leo
Rodgers, 38, Robert (Trim)
Brown Jr., 27, and James Eldon
Olson, 22.
Three others included in the
secret indictments were still
sought by police.
Officers credited 29-year-old
rookie policeman Earl Johnson
with uncovering the ring. John
son, who was sworn into the
force secretly shortly before his
investigation began, became
friendly with members of the so-
called "Broadway gang" and
learned the main sources of nar
cotics.
Becomes Suspicious
Brown told police he became
suspicious of Johnson last week
and fled to Seattle. He returned
Friday in time to be arrested,
when he became convinced his
doubts about Johnson were
wrong.
Richardson, identified by
Johnson as the "wholesaler" of
the ring, was paroled from Mc
Neil Island federal prison last
January after serving part of a
narcotics conviction.
District Attorney William
Langley said at least one of the
suspects had been selling mari
juana to teenagers.

Justice's youngest daughter, Nina

a year, but made a complete re
