Crippled Airliner Makes
Safe Dramatic Turnabout
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP)
Harry Warner, 7fi a Polish im
migrant hoy who became one of
the giants or the motion picture
Industry, died Friday night at his
home.
Warner, who with his brothers
pioneered the use of sound in
movies and revolutionized the in
dustry with the production of AI
Jolson's "The Jazz Singer" in
1!)27, had been ill for several
months. Death was attributed to
a cerebral occlusion.
Harry stepped down two years
ago after 30 years as president of
Warner Bros, studio, but was a
member of the hoard at the lime
of his death. His brother Jack is
now president and another broth
er, Albert, is in charge of film
distribution.
Harry, .lack, Albert and a fourth
brother, Sam, were the sons of a
Polish Immigrant lamily that
came to the United Slates in 1H87,
living first In Baltimore and then
in Youngstown, Ohio. Sam died in
11127.
They began their storied motion
picture careers in a tiny thealer
set up in a remodeled store in
New Castle, Pa., in lfin.1. Harry
handled the business. Jack sang
songs in Ihe pit, Albert ran the
projector and Shiii sold tickets.
Harry, the oldest, handled the
business all the way through the
brothers' steadily expanding
movie activities, which included
exhibition, distribution, and, in
1917, production.
"I hardly ever saw a movie
made," he said a few years ago.
In Harry's hands, business was
good. The brothers kept control of
Ihe huge studio in Burbank with
in the family until two' years ago
when a financial syndicate bought
in for 20 million dollars, leaving
Ihe Warners in charge of produc
tion. In 1930 aflcr Ihe phenomenal
success of "The Jazz Singer." Ihe
studio was reportedly worth 23(1
million dollars.
The broihers set several trends
in Ihe industry. In 1932, "42nd
Streel" launched Ihe big film
musicals. And such pictures as
"The Life of Emile Zola," "Louis
Pasteur." "Lit I ie Caesar," "I Am
a Fugitive From a Chain Gang."
and "Confessions of a Nazi Spy"

to make a run for the U.S. Naval

Missile Shot
At The Moon
By BILL WILKS
United Press International
LOS ANGELES (UPI'-The Air
Force is preparing to launch its
first shot at the moon in about
three weeks when the moon
passes within about 220.000 miles
of the earth, it was reliably re
ported Saturday. '
The lunar probe is planned for
the period when the moon makes
its closest monthly approach. That
period, according to astronomers,
is Aug. 15-19, with the moon being
closest Aug. 17.
The small package of instru
ments, which will be fired in a
three-stace rocket from Cape Ca
naveral, will take about two days
for its journey. If fired on Aug
17, it would arrive Aug. 19 at a
lime when Ihe moon is in its quar
ter phase and visible up to mid
night at locations throughout the
world.
What type of probe is planned
for the first shot was not revealed
by confidential- sources. So far of
ficials have stated only that scien
tists would attempt to send the
first probes in "the vicinity of the
moon and that the primary on
iective is not to hit the moon, al
though that possibility exists. It
also has been stated the moon
rockets are designed to provide a
close look at the moon with in
strumcnts which include television-like
"ground scanning" de
vices.
This has led to speculation the
first launching will be a simple
"boomerang" shot around Ihe
moon and back toward earth rath
er than an attempt to hit .the
moon. Scientists who conducted
Air F'orce studies on Ihe project
say the round-trip shot appears
basically easier.
However, unofficial spokesmen
believe the first shot could be
aimed to impact on the moon.
A scientific source close to the
project declared scientists would
be happy "even if the first shot
came only within 50.000 miles of
the moon because we could learn
a lot from that and it would not
be a failure."
The first two stages of (he moon
rocket will consist of the Thor
Able missile which lias been un
dergoing recent testing at Cape
Canaveral. The third stage vehicle
was developed especially for Ihe
lunar probe project.
this rate for almost two weeks and
Air Force officers confidently pre
dict it can continue as long as
needed while routine flying chores
are handled also.
In addition, the U.S. 6th Fleet
is giving massive seaborne sup
port to the Marines who landed
at Beirui.
The airlift is run from a small
control room at Evreux, France,
50 miles west of Paris, where the
U.S. 322nd Air Division is based.
A single telephone call from there
can reroute planes from Oslo to
Istanbul.
DEAD RIGHT
NEW BERLIN, Wis. (AV-Parish-
oners reluctant to sit in the front
pews at Holy Apostles Catholic
Church recently received a not-too-
uhtle hint to do so in the parish
Sunday bulletin. "Some people rc-
iuse to come up the front of the
church unless escorted by pall
bearers," the bulletin said.
At its height, the Berlin airlift
of 1948-49 never quite reached car
rying a million pounds daily. The
longer airlift to the Middle East
has several times beaten that by
some 200,000 pounds.
However, like the Berlin airlift,
this one is no lark. The crews
have been worked so hard that a
flight surgeon now stands on the
flight line to insure that no over
enthusiastic pilot gets into the air
too tired to handle the huge planes
safely.
The commander of the 322nd,
Col. Clyde Box. a former bomber
pilot . from Nevada, Tex., has
flown 50 hours on the airlift him
self. With a telephone call, he can
put into Ihe air 110 big transports
C130 turbojet Hercules. C124
Globemastcrs and the old CI 19
twin-boomed Flying Boxcars.
At the start these planes were
beefed up by another 80 planes
Irom Ardmore, Okla., and Stewart
Air Force Base, Tenn.
This global force had never re
ally strained iis muscles until

July 14.to send troops to Lebanon.
