Around Hollywood By ALINI MOSBT United Praia Correspondent Hollywood (U.R Twentieth Century-Fox studio is excited over Jayne Mansfield, RKO is flipping over Diana Dors, but at Univer- s a 1 - Interna tional they're turning hand springs about the most life 1 i k e monster in movie his tory. AUaoMMby This prehistoric-looking creature is air-con- ditioned, can drool saliva, pant, blink his eyes and thrash his tall in realistic fashion. Usually They'ra Tiny Usually monsters in science fiction pictures such as "The Animal World" and "King Kong" are tiny models that are moved a fraction of an inch, photographed and then moved again. Such animation is called "stop action." But the result is jerky move ments. Walt Disney improved on the idea with his squid in "20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea." It was a full-size and moved via tremendous air pressure and wires. But U-I make-up experts Bud Westmore and Jack Pavan claim they have gone Disney one better with their nine-foot tall monster. It's operated by a mo tor and hydraulic valves that used to lower the wheels on an airplane. "There never has been any thing like this in movies before it's the best monster ever made," exclaimed Pavan, who takes his work seriously as if he were a scientist working on a new rocket ship. Built Oul of Aluminum Pavan and Westmore built the frame of the monster out of aluminum. Over that went lay ers of a rubbery-like skin. The critter is made so a six-foot man, Tim Smythe, can stand inside and walk. Smythe operates the eyelids and rams in air-condi-tioned comfort. The inside quar ters are also furnished with foot ball shoulder pads, a nude pin-up photo and a two-way telephone. Behind the camera another man stands at a pipe organ-like instrument to work the hydrau lic valves that make the animal wag his tongue, breathe and move his head, mouth and tail. The monster, patterned after a tyrannosaurus from pre histor ic days, was made for U-I s new est science-fiction picture, "Land Unknown." While other studios concentrate on threehour epics, U-I makes huge profits with its fantasy movies. They Make Money rroducer William Allen, who has made nine of these films be ginning with "It Came from Outer Space," happily reports they ve grossed S2 million. He figures fans go to these movies because they show frightening experiences that dwarf the pres sures of everyday lives. But Westmore and Pavan fig ure audiences are not terrified by the monsters, but feel sorry for them. "I give directions to the man inside our monster and I' find myself talking to the monster instead of the man," Pavan laughs. "It's like having a pet he seems so real." OLD HOUSE GONE Lexington, Ky. (U.R) Recent ly wrecked to make way for a filling station was the home of Daniel Bradford, built some time before 1812. Bradford, in 1819 designed and first used in his newspaper, the Lexington Public Advertiser, the crowing rooster that is the national sym bol of the Democratic Party. Ruins of Genghis Khan's Mongolia Capital Explored Washington Excavators are scooping the dust of centuries from Karakorum, the desert cap ital of Genghis Khan. Ruins of the conqueror's 13th century headquarters stand on the Orkhon river in the heart of the' Mongolian Republic. Founded about 1220 A.D., seven years before Genghis died, the city became a focal point of man kind before ft eventually was abandoned, razed, and forgot ten. Now scholars and scientists are reclaiming it from the harsh, wind-driven sands of the Gobi. Genghis Khan, the self styled "Emperor of Mankind," is one of the few great warriors who nearly made his boast come true. Death and Destruction Reigned His hordes, forsaking their felt-lined tents on Mongolian steppes, set about ravaging the known world. They defeated the armies of China, then ruled by swords from the Yellow Sea to the Black Sea. Russian princes were their vassals. Moslem power crumbled. All Europe was in peril, as is borne out by the tropical prayer added to the Christian litany: "Save us from the fury of the Tatars!" Everywhere the Mongols went, people were annihilated. Entire towns were wiped out. Streams were diverted from their beds. Mighty kingdoms whose names mean little now paid trib ute to the Khan. The treasures of a continent poured in gold, silver, horses, brocades, silks. Thousands of slaves, male and female, were taken. The Mongols of Genghis Khan, h a r d-riding, ruthless, skilled and drilled in war. were nomads. They were accustomed to pitching their tents wherever good pasture appeared for their animals. But with the wealth of much of the world coming in, the Khan was persuaded that he needed a permanent capital. He selected Karakorum (Black Sands) as the seat of his mon archy, the place to which trib ute could be sent. No doubt it. J was a strange city of domed felt yurts and mud huts. At its height, however, Kara korum had a splendid imperial palace and government build ings. Its treasure houses were stuffed, its granaries bursting, its borders ringed with stud farms and flocks. Representa tives of many nations awaited an audience with Genghis Khan's successors. Death of lh Empire When a new Khan was to be chosen, as many as 4,000 en voys might be on hand. They hoped to gain favor with the new monarch, regain their own thrones or avert Mongolian invasion. Emissaries were restricted to the plain outside Karakorum. They were not allowed within a board fence guarding the white brocade pavilion in which 2.000 descendants of Genghis Khan gathered to choose the worthiest leader. For the edification of the waiting emissaries, the fence was embellished with pictures depicting Genghis Khan's deeds and victories. This was Karakorum in its days of glory. But Kublai Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan, moved the capital from the windy desert to Peiping. There he had himself crowned "Son of Heaven." His departure shifted the axis of power from Mon golia, and Genghis Khan's huge empire began to break up. Chinese warriors destroyed Karakorum in 1388. World Speed Mark Set Before Crash Of X2 Rocket Plane WashingtonOJ.P) Capt. Mil- burn G. Apt 'reached a world record speed of more than 2,100 miles an hour just before he died in the mysterious crash of the X2 rocket plane on Sept. 27. Reliable sources disclosed the speed today as the Air Force provided new details of the "Fly ing Laboratory s fatal flight at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. But they said the cause of the accident was still unknown. Crash Slows Research The crash stripped the United States of its fastest airplane a rocket powered research ship pioneering the way for future warplanes and scientists have said flight research inevitably will be slowed. Somewhat slow er XI rocket planes are avail able but the much -iaster suc cessor the X15 is at least two years away. The Air Force replied to ques tions asked by United Press about Apt's flight his first in any rocket plane after it had become known in aviation cir cles that some scientists thought the X2 test program was pushed too fast. These scientists believed the plane should have been driven to its maximum capability more gradually since it was being flown in barely understood alti tude and speed regions. Before the Sept. 27 flights, the X2 had reached an altitude of 126,000 feet with Capt. Ivan Kincheloe at the controls and a speed just over 1.900 mph with Lt. Col. Frank Everest piloting. The Air Force cited Apt's background and training to show that he was eminently qualified for the flight at more than three times the speed of sound.

JOHNSON TRUCK LINES PHONE 2-6022 has available Lumber Truck and Trailers Vans and Flat-Beds Heavy Hauling Equipment Irregular Service Oregon and Interstate Authority Washington U.R) Scientists reported today that it is becom ing necessary to use two and three antibiotics together to gang up on germs which have been learning how to resist death from single drugs. They disclosed that a flood of new combination antibiotics, built into one pill or injection, will appear on the market in the coming year. Crater to Give Class In Livestock Feeding Central Point The Crater High school adult class advisory board has selected a livestock feeding course and an advanced farm mechanics course for its program for adults this winter, according to E. R. Griggs, teach er of agriculture. The classes are scheduled to begin in January and will run for 10 weeks with weekly meet ing. The classes are carried on in conjunction with the Crater High school vocational agricul ture department. Farmers interested in the classes may consult the agricul ture department at Crater High school. More Effective Together They said clinical trials indi cate the drugs are far more ef fective together than alone. And they said germs seem to find the combinatoin tougher to deal with. The major new trend in drug therapy was reported at the fourth annual symposium on an tibiotics which opened here to day. The three-day meeting, sponsored by the Food and Drug administration, drew hundreds of top authorities from this country and nine other nations. "Physicians used to hold up their hands in horror at the idea of combined drugs," said R. Henry Welch. "But it's the com ing thing now. It seems to be the best way to deal with resist ant organisms." Resistance Developed Welch, head of antibiotics at Food and Drug and the sympo sium chairman, said some germs have developed a resistance to some antibiotics through an evo lutionary process. Staphylococci, which cause a wide variety of common infections, have been especially troublesome. Scientists have been develop ing "new antibiotics as fast as possible in an effort to keep a jump ahead of resistant germs. The latest approach to the prob lem is combined therapy.
