"All four engines quit during routine check drill and there was Insufficient time or altitude to restart them, once the as yet undetermined specific human cause was apparent," Renfro said.

The role of prophet has been handed me presumably because our organization deals with pro duction and distribution on' both these fields of mass entertain ment. I can only speak for the indus try as a whole in so far as our own studio reflects typical cur rent conditions. Confirmed Optimist From that standpoint, and from the sum of past experience, I can be reasonably optimistic. In the matter of supplying the needs of public amusement and recreation I have become a con firmed optimist. I have built our organization and our policies around that faith. More than ever I believe in the permanence of any well founded institution which rec ognizes and caters to the basic needs of people, spiritually as well as materially. And in my opinion, entertainment in its broadest sense has become a ne cessity rather than a luxury in the life of the American public. This, I know, is also the gen eral view of the leadership in our business. And thus I believe I voice the attitude and creed of both theatrical film and tele vision producers. Both in Business I believe 1958 may be the year of reconciliation between these two great contesting camps in furnishing the merchandise of pleasure via film to the nation's millions who annually spend billions for diversion in all fields of popular entertainment. It has become obvious that neither is going to put the other out of business, nor greatly im pair its potential prosperity not in the foreseeable future. Movies in the theater and mo vies on the home screens seek the same massive audience. Nei ther has permanently trapped nor can hold any exclusive ma jor portion of this audience. Both originate from the same source of photographed drama and news events and have com parable problems in the me chanics and merchandising of product compounded of story material and appealing person alities. Television and theatrical mo tion pictures must learn how to live together compatibly.

Mirko's bullet missed the rabbit, cut the string, and set the animal free.

Slichter said the present re cession ". . . is largely the result of overdoing of credit restraint . . ." he said the recession, with its companion effects, "tends to increase the long-run likelihood of 3l rise in the price level." But he predicted the business contraction "will not go far and will not last long." He said the business upturn will come when current cutbacks in inventory slow down "certainly by the sec ond quarter of 1958, and pos sibly in the first quarter." existence in the favor of some 50 million current patrons per week for both media is demand ed for the healthy life of the heretofore contentious parties. Public Wants Quality We were the first studio in the industry to work out a pattern in making both theatrical and television shows. It has proved a successful operation and a happy marriage. The pattern, based on reconciliation of ele ments once regarded as irrevo cably antagonistic, is now being followed by other studios pro ducing both types of shows. It employs cross promotion with out impairing the entertainment quality of either.

Armored vests are his stock in trade. But he also has made a bullet-proof girdle for Mme. Chiang Kai-shek, thousands of anti shrapnel "flak pants" for the U.S. Air Force, and steel trous ers for an intrepid big game hunter who wanted the thrill of chasing lions on foot. "I haven't yet been approach ed on making space suits," said the gaunt-faced, eagle-eyed Lon doner, who has been making armor for the Wilkinson Sword company for the past 40 years. Vendor in Violence "But not even Sputniks affect this business. "You see, even in peacetime, plenty of people need personal protection. And I keep a pretty good business providing it." Barrett, in a conservative black checked suit and tie to match his British reserve, look ed like the typical English office clerk who abhors violence. Yet violence is his business. He was more adept at talk ing about armor even than about the English weather. The men tion of bullet proof vests made his serious eyes shine. "Did you know that there were more armored waistcoat vests worn in the last war than ever before in history?" he ask ed as he sipped a cup of tea.

The American B17 boys thought that public demands a better grade of entertainment. It is more dis criminatory. It will shop for the best. Fresh stories, imaginative new treatment, adventures in new spheres, get attention. In our case, the personnel in both our studio divisions have been stimulated and challenged to mu tally beneficial advances. Certainly there are more ad justments and compensations to be made. Television may find new operational formats.

Barrett said that his light weight flak suits were complete ly shrapnel and bullet proof. The U.S. Air Force surgeon general's office backed this up. In fact, they proved so suc cessful that the RAF tried to order special shipments of the "American-made" vests. Barrett said that he offered to test the armored suit himself on B17 runs over Germany, but that the U.S. Air Force turned thumbs down because of his top priority work. 7 Lively Arts' Peeks al Movies By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York (IP) , Television, the child that crippled the movie industry, took a sympathetic peek at the hobbled giant Sun day on CBS-TV's "Seven Lively Arts." There were interviews with producers David Selznick, Otto Preminger, Sam Spiegel, Joe Mankiewics and actor-producer Kirk Douglas, They talked about the decline of the big studio and the trend toward independent production and were pretty re pititive. Sloughed off were the increas ing production of movies for teenagers, the boom in drive-ins and the new audience for art films. The most significant new aspect of the mass entertainment business was side-stepped, too the fact that the "B" picture slop that used to provide Hollywood's bread and butter is now the staple of the TV business ' in the form of quickie situation com edies, westerns and adventure series.

(IP) Film stars Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner headed for Florida and a month long honeymoon cruise today following their marriage in a quiet church ceremony here. The couple was wed Saturday afternoon at the Scottsdale Meth odist Church in a ceremony at tended only by the immediate families and close friends. "We chose Scottsdale for the marriage to get away . from a Hollywood type wedding," the couple said. The 19-year-old raven-haired beauty and Wagner, 27, met when Miss Wood was an 8-year-old child actress at 20th Cen tury-Fox. The actress now is one of the properties of Warner Bros.

Northern Cross Is Visible In Northwestern Heavens By FAY BENTLEY The Northern Cross, a beauti ful asterism in the constellation Cygnus the Swan, is now slid ing down the "hills of heaven" towards the northwestern sky line. About ten p.m. the starry Cross can be seen standing up right on the horizon. The early Christians were in spired by the sight of this celes tial picture which sympolized to them the faith for which they suffered persecutions. Cygnus the Swan, of which the asterism or star group called the Northern Cross, is the most conspicuous part, is located in the Milky Way. The foot of the Cross forms the head of the Swan and the arms of the Cross represent the out-spread wings of the bird as it flies down the stream of the Milky Way. Glittering Star Deneb, the glttering star at the top of the Cross is the tail of the Swan. This celestial giant is estimated to be about 10 thou sand times as bright as our sun. It is approximately 600 light years away from our earth. .Albireo, the star at the foot of the Cross, forms the head of the Swan. This is the Beta or sec ond brightest star in this con stellation. Through a small tele scope, Albireo proves to be a gloriously colored double star; one component a dark rich gold and the other a heavenly blue. These binary, or double stars, revolve around each other. The Northern Cross formed of five bright stars rises on its side in the extreme-northeast during the month of May. By the first of August it is high in the sky and extends almost north and south. By the first of February only the top pf the Cross may be seen low on the northwestern horizon. Tragic, Beautiful The story of Cygnus, friend of Phaethon, is one of the most tra gic and beautiful of the Greek legends. These two handsome lads were close friends. Phae thon, son of Apollo, the sun god, but mortal on his mother's side, boasted to his playmates of his father's greatness. The boys only laughed at him. In order to find some proof that Apollo really was his fa ther, Phaethon, on the advice of his mother, Clymene, decided to visit the palace of the sun god. The joy of seeing his son caused Apollo to do a very rash thing. "Ask anything you want of me and you shall have it," Apollo said. "Then let me drive the sun chariot for just one day, father," like a You make thousands of buying decisions a month just shopping for your family. A professional buyer makes hundreds of thousands. Yet you both follow the same sound rule to avoid buying mistakes: A good brand is your best guarantee You know you can count on a good brand. Its maker stands back of it. And so you know you're right. Stop Me replied the lad. Apollo tried to explain to Phaeton that this was entirely too dangerous for a lad to under take, but the boy could not be dissuaded. Joyously he mounted the chariot and was off. Joy Turns to Fear Soon his joy turned to fear and grief. He could not control the fiery steeds who nearly wrecked the chariot against the Scorpion and then almost ran into the Crab. The chariot plunged downward setting the world on fire. The rivers dimin ished greatly in size and the Nile fled and hid its head. ; Unable to bear any more, Mother Earth cr'ed out to the gods on Mt. Olympus. Jupiter hurled a thunderbolt which shattered the chariot and struck the driver dead. Phaethon fell into the river Eridanus. Cygnus had been watching the strange actions of the sun chariot and saw the body of his friend fall into the ENROLL Winter Term Jan. 6th Secretarial & Accounting Courses Day or Evening Classes Shorthand Speedwriting Typewriting Business Machines Dictaphone' REGISTRATION STARTS DECEMBER 30 - 9:00 a.m. ROBERTSON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS 40 North Riverside, Medford - Ph.

A huge air and sea search armada, which included the air craft carrier Kearsage, continues the r&nt for the other pilot. The two pilots left the U.S. Navy Air Station at Atsugi, about 25 miles south of Tokyo, for the Kearsage early today. Several hours later, they radioed they were being forced to ditch. The Navy identified the res cued pilot as Lt. R. E. Coleville. His hometown was not immedi ately available because he is at tached to the Kearsage.
