1t was owned by the late Howard Coffin, the Hud

Beach, Ca, his real baby. The Reynolds farm
raises no tobacco, but is the center of the famous
Sea Island cotton industry, and Dick has even
dug canal so he could bring his yacht right up
to the gin house, and If necessary haul cotton
away-to Bermuda, the Lido, the Riviera, or
other foreign ports.

You can not only sit on his front porch and see
his farm working, but you can look across the
bay and see Fernandina, Florida, the city which

turb the farming operations. That's MY kind

 Gets Wall paper Conscious
 Television settings, incidentally, are becoming more realistic. Mi chael WeightmanS Smith, formerly San Francisco opera company and theatrical designer and now tele- visions first full-time scenic de- signer, tells what's being done: About year ago, we did not bother with wallpaper designs on studio sets. But today the sensitivity of television requires close attention to pattern and design on wall sur faces. The same applies to furni- ture, fabrics, floor coverings, fix lures and costumes.
 "One handicap that persists is our inability to reproduce pure white or pure black. Our knowledge of the cameras sensitivity to color still is rather incomplete. Green and blue reproduce in corresponding values of gray. The television cam era distinguishes between natural red hair and dyed red hair.
 The Future Theater
 Studio action being televized at rather close range, I have found it expedient to design each set like the panel of a JananeSe screen. each

Phooie!

NeWSpapefmen assigned to the cuvefage of the Waterbury con- spiracy trial, many of whom have been on the scene since the start of the probe by the extraordinary grand jury, are wondering Wheth- CT they should give up the ghost or continue pouring out column after column of copy concerning the case.
 Their uncertainty is based on testimony which they have heard from the majority of the more than 20 prospective jurors who have already been examined by counsel for the state and defense in the quest for. g panel of 12.
 Not Interested
 "I only read the headlines" has been the inevitable answer in an overwhelming majority of the instances where tho venireman has been asked, Have you read about this case in the newspa- pers2"
 Many said that they were not interested enough in the story to "catry it through" Others pro- fessed lack of time.
 It is surprising to note that most of the yenirernen examined to date have indicated an ardent de- sire to be selected to serve on the jury. In many instances, evasive answers have been given by the juror during examination, appar- ently in the hope that he would
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-01

not have to commit himself on some important phase of the ques- tioning.
 Even more than the men, most of the women questioned thus far have been in this category.
 Cautious
 As the questioning resumes in hum-drum and monotonous fash ion, it is noticeable that both state and defense are being extremely cautious about accepting a man or woman. It is a very rare occurrence even to have one side say, ''accep- table to the state," or Acceptable to the defense" Only once thus far has there been a chorus of ac- ceptances, and that was when Frank Brown of Milford was chos- en to serve on the panel.
 Almost every person who takes the stand as potential juror is asked his political affiliations, his interest ill newspaper stories, how much time he spends listening to radios, how many political speech es he read or heard during the past campaign, and if he has formed any opinions about the case.
 Truthful Man!
 Many of the prospects stated that they spent little if any time listening to radio commentaries. As one man put it, T have a daughter who likes music, and I don't have much say as to what is wanted on the radio"

 Rescue workers despaired of mok- ing identifications soon. Many of the bodies were dismembered. They were strewn along the tracks for dis tance of a quarter of a mile along with books, band instruments, luncheon boxes and parts of the bus.
 The train was travelling at full speed when it struck the bus. The impact bent the frame of the bus in- to a narrow horshoe shape.
 The engineer applied his brakes and stopped as soon as possible, but the rear car of the long train was at the crossing before the train was halted.
 Part of the bus was under the tracks of the locomotive.
