I p GRIM TASK Rescue crews begin the grim task of removing bodies from the wreckage of this Marine transport plane. The big four-engine plane crashed into mountainside near Niles, Calif, while making an instrument approach to Oakland Airport in bad weather. Thirty-eight Marines died in the flaming wreckage. A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W.

The titans of the ticker tape want to look at the old issues of the Wall Street journal. Horses Like Stock "Same , as the horses," said one of the attendants. "Like the last time out, how they did in the last work out. Things like that." .. Actualy, most of the business of the newspaper reference room is on the serious said. It is head ed up by Pauly Berry, chief of the serials divisions, and James Sutton, head of newspaper re ference. Their worries, though, generally rest on the shoulders of two able assitants Paul E. Swigart and George M. Hall. I visit the reference room frequently. It's a wonderful place. You can rent a typewrit er for a dime a half hour and it works fine if you know the "touch system." . Thousands of Papers There are 151,600 bound vol umes of newspapers around the walls and in the cellar are un counted thousands of unbound copies. . The team of Swigart and Hall relies. cm ''Gregory's Union List of Papers" for reference, which had its beginnings in 1821. It is a compilation of libraries around the country concerning files of newspapers. ' Swigart thought he was in for a bad time when a man came in and wanted to know if the annex had a picture of his moth er who had been a victim of homicide. ' ; A search was made, the right paper was found and the man was given special permission to take out " his brownie . and use some special lights to reproduce it. He went home happy; Marine Corps Probes Crash Victim Mixup El Toro Marine Air Station, Calif. (U.R) A Marine corps court of - inquiry is investi gating the tragic mixup in which some Marines not connected with a" Niles, Calif., plane crash were identified as its victims. The court will also probe the improper disclosure of the names of some actual victims. The names of five crew mem ber victims of last Friday's Ma rine transport crash were cor rectly identified in the first list of victims, but wrong -names were given for the plane's pas sengers. The mistake resulted in the relatives of 33 Marines be- ine told erroneously that the service men had perished. Several hours later a correct ed list was released. It was made up of 34 passengers, five actual crewmen and one Marine listed as a crewman who was "hitch ing" a ride. Tuesday, February 21. 1956 TEETH INTACT New Britain, Conn.

The result: the team not only went through its season without losing a game, but with out losing a tooth or even a filling. Use Tribune Want Ads Curry Given Praise For Gambling Cleanup Salem (U.R) Attorney General Robert Y. Thorton has praised Curry County District Attorney Samuel A. Hall for "cleaning up gambling in Curry county" and at the same time said Oregon laws are "wholly inadequate to deter the professional gambler." Thornton said: "It is a matter of keen regret to me that our laws provide for a fine only, upon conviction for operating gambling establishments, and do not permit the courts to impose jail sentences . even in habitual cases. Our laws are wholly in adequate to deter the profes sional gambler, who regards a fine as merely part of the cost of doing his very profitable bus iness." -. Hall led raids last Friday night in which several persons were arrested in Curry county. Camp Pendleton, Calif . XU.R) Three Oregon Marines were among those listed by the Marine corps as being ' on the plane which crashed last Friday near Niles, Calif., killing all 40 persons aboard. . They were: Pfc. Charles L. Howard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold T. Howard, Corvallis; Pvt. David R. Kendrick, ' son of Mrs. Marie M. Kendrick, Port land,' and Pvt. Glenn I.

Hollywood (U.R) This is the year when movie-goers will have their eyes stretched by gi gantic movie spectacles. But the director of one insists his really is not a spectacle. Robert Ros sen is back in Hollywood for the first time in four years Aline Mosby -with one of 1956's super colossal movies in his satchel, "Alexander the Great," starring Fredric March and Richard Burton. . This year the gigantic screens and stereophonic sound also will bulge with "War . and Peace," "Helen of Troy," "The Ten Com mandments," "Richard III" and "Around the World in 80 days." But Rossen seems alarmed that his picture will be classed with the million-extras, lavish costumes) epics. . , Spectacular Story "It's spectacular only because the life of Alexander is spec tacular." he said . in his hotel suite. "The basic ingredient still must be the story. "In many spectacle films the story is separate from the spec- PilGC E SALE Sobbing Sims says: "I've still got a few good used bicycles They are going fast and going cheap GET YOURS NOW!"

The film is a profound search into the life of Alexander, who founded the principles of modern warfare." Rossen, - who also wrote and produced the movie in the tra dition of true one-man movie makes, shot for seven months in Spain on a budget of $4,500,000. He recruited .the Spanish army for his battle scenes. One war sequence featured 1,000 horses. This is one gigantic epic that will outdo even Cecil B. De Mille in the romance department one scene shows 10,000 sol diers being married at the same time. . Return for Rossen "Alexander the Great" means quite a homecoming for Rossen. Tht director, who gained re nown for such films as the Oscar-winning "All the King's Men," left Hollywood in 1952 af ter being paged by the un-American Activities committee. He la ter testified in New York he had been & Communist party mem ber. Rossen figures he will "prob ably settle in the East now be cause my children are in school there." Many other top movie makers have deserted this town to make films any place in the world. Joseph Mankiewicz, Josh Logan and Elai-Kazan reported ly plan to build their own studio in New York. John Huston lives in Ireland. "I go wherever the film takes me," Rossen said. "People should make pictures any place in the world, wherever the story is best suited. I am a gypsy now." Junction City Death Due To Diphtheria Eugene U.R) Dr. Harold Osterud, Lane county health of ficer, said today that the death of a four-year-old boy at Junc tion City Sunday had been con firmed as due to diphtheria.

Dr. Oste rud said the boy had not been in contact with anyone except members of his family. Earlier Mrs. Violet Fry, 56, a house mother at the state school for the blind and seven-year-old Christine Artiano, a pupil -at the state school, died' from the disease.
