Administration Policies Said To

administration's fiscal policies

Plane Crash Blamed
On 'Human Causes'
Honolulu (IPI The Navy has
disclosed that a preliminary in

Navy Super-Constellation which
killed if of 23 crew members
Monday resulted from "human
causes" rather than mechanical
defects.
Capt. E. C. Renfro, chief of
staff of the Navy command, said
Saturday night that the prelim

the plane contributed to the
cause of the accident, although
the "human cause" was still un

"All four engines quit during
routine check drill and there

said.

Walt Disney Reasonably Optimistic on
Future of Motion Pictures, Television
By WALT DISNEY
Wrillem for United Press
Hollywood (IP) I have been
asked by the United Press to
give my opinion regarding the
outlook for the motion picture
and television industries in the
year ahead.
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. Co-

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

London HP) Meek, mild-mannered
Leonard Barrett has made
his fame and modest fortune off
men who walk in danger.
Armored vests are his stock in

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

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

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

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

be made. Television may find

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

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
