METEOR SEEN IN ACCO-
MAC TO FALL IN OCEAN

A meteor fell last Saturday morn
ing near Accomac, Va, about 6:15
o'clock and is described by those
who saw it, as being the prettiest
thing they ever saw. Among those
who were fortunate enough to see it
were Harry Dixon, an employee of
the Peninsula Enterprise and Ed
Bennett, driver of Chincoteague
Bakery truck. 1t appeared in the
southern sky and travelled from west
to east, landing somewhere in the
Atlantic ocean. 1t left a streak of
light across the sky about yard
wide and was so bright that it would
have been possible to have picked
up a pin on the stone road. The
meteor was visible for about half
minute.

contained total of .O24 grains Of
arsenic per pound, while the "toler-
ance level' for foods set by the Food
and Drugs Administration is .025. Of
three American specimens of crab
products analysed, he found the high
est arsenic content to be eight points
below the tolerance level" DIR. Fell
lers declared.
Senator Radcliffe asserted "grave
doubts" that the methods employed
by manufacturers of foreign seafood
products" meet the standards met by
the industry in this country" He
referred to the sanitary code which
the industry had voluntarily adopted,
and to the high labor standards of
America, as compared with the cheap
labor employed by foreign competi-
tors. Representative David J. Ward,
of Maryland, was included among
congressman who spoke in support
of the domestic packers.
An interesting argument over
nativity of the giant king crab mark
ed the proceedings, with importers
claiming it to be a Japanese sea
monster" and Americans contending
it "is as much American as Japa-
nese." The position of the Crab
Packers Committee was fortified by
DR.. Waldo Schmitt, curator of the
Smithsonian Institute Museum. In
answer to the argument of F. S.
Riotte, of New York, chief of counsel
for the Japanese, that the technical
name for the king crab is "Parlia-
thodes Camtachaticus," indicating
oriental nativity, DIR. Schmidt pointed
out that "the first specimen of any
species of sea life is usually given a
name in conformance with location
of it's discovery" The specimen also
abounds in Alaskan waters, he said,
and thus sis as much American as
Japanese"
Mr.. Harris, who said Centreville
"is still home to me- announced that
recently developed methods of can
ming meat of the Atlantic blue crab,
perfected under his supervision, twill
mean investment of thousands of dol
lars in new canneries, giving employ
ment to thousands of people, in event
we can obtain the proper tariff pro-
lection"
Maryland was we'll represented
during the hearing. State officials
included Edwin Warfield, commission
er of conservation; DR.. Reginald
Truitt, of the University of Mary
lands Biological Laboratories at Sol
omon's Island; DR.. L. HI. James, also
of the University's laboratories at
College Park and Albert Woodfield,
Galesville assemblyman.
Chief of counsel for the committee

warner's Strand theater this after noon, are still laughing for they saw one of the merriest farces in many @ season.
 Starring Barbara stanwyck and Henry Fonda, the hilarious film hits Q new high in laughs. Included in the great comedy cast are such vet- eran favorites as Charles Coburn, Eugene Palette, William Dmarest, Eric Blnore, Martha ODriscoll and Luis Alberni.
 Led by Miss Stanwyck and Fonda, playing his first comedy role after Q series of heavy drama, the entire cast performs brilliantly, playing their roles right up to the comedy hit.
 The story presents Fonda as the scion of wealthy family, who falls into the hands of @ gang of slick cardsharps, headed by Miss Stan- wyck. He also falls in love with her, but his blissful bubble bursts when he learns she's a cardsharp. Later, he falls in love with her all over again, this time when she poses as a title Britisher, "The Lady Eve" She looks familiar, but she convinces him he has never seen her before. From there the picture moves on to a series of riotous situations that

This morning, Manager Ed Fitz- patrcik of the Loew Poll theater announced the holdover, by popular demand of Hollywood's finest all- round entertainment ever to reach the screen, in the musical extrava- ganza "Ziegfeld Girl" which is still playing to capacity audiences at every single performance since its opening here on Saturday. The film will end It's engagement on Friday night, instead of the date previ- ously announced.
 Blended into the spectacular Inu- sical are the talents of an all-star cast, music bound to set the nation humming, Q story tense in dramatic quality, settings which leave the spectators breathless, and one hun- dred of the most beautiful girls in America.
 All five of its top stars, James Stewart, Judy Garland, Hedy La- mar, Lana Turner and Tony Mar tin, give performances which are of Academy Award merit. The same may be said for Jackie Cooper, Ian Hunter, Charles Winninger, Edward Everett Horton, Philip Dorn, and g score of others who are seen in iti1- portant roles.
 The drama alone could well be classed as one of the screens best. It traces the lives of the three girls, Judy, Hedy and Lana, showin their rise from obscurity 10 the peak of success as tho Ziegfeld F'ollies' rsigning beauties. Hedy finds that her happiness lies with her mu- sician husband and sacrifices her career, giving Up Tony Martin to return to her husband. Lana, the tragic beauty of the trio, finds only disillusionment with her success and fame, loses her lover, James Stewart, and finally her life. Judy alone discovers the Follies to be the ultimate of her desire. She remains as It's greatest discovery, and with Martin stars as the singing sensation of 8 new and greater

Meet John Doe" Americas most eagerly awaited screen event, ar- rived at Warnef's State theater this afternoon with Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck in co-starring leads.
 John Doe, the forgotten man, the essence of anonymity throughout the ages, he is the hero, in fact he plays the title role of the new Frank Capra production. Cooper, one of Capra's favorite actors, was chosen to play the title role.
 Such all time hits as Tt Hap- pened One Night" MT. Deeds Goes to Town" and MT. Smith Goes to Washington" have been brought to the screen by Capra, so that reports hail Meet John Doe" as Capra's greatest, really promises that the new picture is just about tops in screen entertainment. Both MT. Cooper and Miss Stanwyck are vet eran performers and turn in excel- lent acting jobs.
 Prominently featured in the cast are Edward Arnold, Walter Brennan, 0PbA1B DyWbVOLls JhHleS OlGhSOtI and Gene Lockhart. Besides these players there are 130 other speaking parts, and for tho crown scenes more than four thousand extras were used. Tn all 75,000 daily pay cheeks were given out.
 Another important phase of the production of Meet John Doe" was the scenery under which 1t was filmed. Feeling that the unique na- ture of the plot should not be re- vealed until audiences actually see the picture on the screen, the Capra unit decided that the plot of the picture should remain secret. Only one definite fact has seeped through: 1t is the story of those qualities which we recognize as American. A great deal of Capra's appeal lies in his uncanny ability to picture the familiar and beloved, so 1t may be expected that Meet John Doe" will tell a story of abiding faith in whose very simplicity lies true grandeur.
 As the second big hit the manage Tnent presents Repent at Leisure" with Kent Taylor and Wendy Bar rie in featured roles.
 Remember-regular State prices prevail for this show.

 You'll glimpse as much of Bette Davis legs in "The Bride Came O. O. D." as you're ever likely to see displayed on the screen. Ever since she has been & star, Miss Davis has been swaddled in drama and volum- inous skirts that cleaned the floor life a new maids mop. One or two ancient photos of her in bathing suits still are around but she hasn't posed for leg art since she was a bit player. Take my word for 1t there's nothing the matter with the Davis gams-not 8 thing.

 Time and a technical advisor ruined the day for Director Mike Curtiz trying to get some stark drama into an operating scene. It was on the Dive Bomber" set in a precise production of @ naval sur- gery and a student pilot who hadn't pulled out of a power dive was dying for the camera.
 Two wall clocks--one a standard, the other @ secondhand clock that ticked off a complete circle every 60 seconds-had to be set each time the scene was taken.
 After each delay, ~Curti1 snorted and sputtered but Commander John R. Poppen (naval surgeon who's a technical advisor on the picture) explained sternly, During an opera ton "time is of the essence" The patient, according to the story, is going to die. That makes 1t vital that the exact time be registered on the face of the clock"
 Clocks and calendarsl" grumbled the thwarted Curtiz. "They are a directors folly. A man dies on the operating table" So If he dies well, who's going to watch the clock? People should come to 6 picture to see on actor as to set their watches"

Hollywood - The movies second generation says it's no help to have famous father-it's a definite car- eer handicap. It's not because the youngsters ability or sex appeal is compared to their matinee idol-par- ents of two decades ago, though juniors Lon Chaney, Tim Holt and Douglas Fairbanks struggled along for several years against being put in roles that were duplicates of ones their fathers made famous.
 The trouble, says Bryant Wash burn, Jr., is that his generation has been around Hollywood 50 long that everybody takes them for granted. He and three other per- sonable actors in their early 20's whose seniors helped to build the movie industry, are playing minor roles in Miami" There's Charlie James Horne, Jr., whose father was an eminent director and Peter Cow land, son of actor Gibson Gowland.
 "Our fathers got us into this bus mess and helped us to get 8 start" Washburn admitted. "As whole we haven't done 50 badly, but none of us are near stardom. We all think we might have done better If we had been complete unknowns. Ae 1t is, when an unusual role shows up, whether it's large or small, and one of us goes after 1t, we haven't a chance. They tell us they don't want lads as well known as we are--they'd rather have new faces. Not that I blame them--1t's just natural.
 "The most disappointing thing, which has happened to me several times, is to have an old friend of fathers "a producer or casting dir- ector - feel that he can't offer me Q minor role because 1t "isnt good

Discover Pros Use Mar
rover Stance In Driv-
ing Than They Did Ten
Years Ago
BY ROBERT GEIGER
APP Feature Service Writer

DENVER, Aug. THE Pro-
fessional Golfers Association
used a yardstick on the games Of
the pro stars and came up with
this tip for buffers: Try a mar
rover stance.
The PGA did some fact-find-
ing at its annual tournament
here the other day and discov-
cred the professionals were US
ing narrower stance, keeping
their feet much closer together
in driving, than they did 10 years
ago.
They say this stance enables a
player to handle bis weight more
easily throughout the swing and
he can get full. freer turn of
the body and put more ''oomph'
into his drives. Another result
is that the swing as a whole is
much more compact In other
words, more of half or three
quarter swing, a la Craig Wood,
the National Open champion.
Hope For Golf Dub
This is just one of the things
the PEA found out in its CAM
paign to take the games of star
players apart and see what made
them click.
This investigation is pretty i'm
portant to MIR. Golf Dub. If the
experiment is a success his golf
instruction will be simplified
substantially, and cut to his
temperament and makeup.
He can be told exactly what
combination of movements and
postures produce the good shots,
which ones put him in the rough,
and there will be a yardstick by
which his progress may be meas
ured exactly.
The golf teachers know, of
course, that there are major
points of stance and grip that
make good golfer but the pres
ent study goes much farther than
that. It is concerned with the mi
nor movements of hands, legs
and. arms and the build Of a
golfer The coordination Of the.
movements are being studied
and even the eyes of the players
are scrutinized.

Payoff On Good Form

PaYoff On Good Form
Specifically, this data reveals
that in golf, Like in all other
sports, the payoff is on good
form. The players who got the
highest ratings, after being
studied in the qualifying round,
went right on through to the
later matches. Players with low
ratings were eliminated early
Novak's study showed this
about the top-notch players:
A majority use the overlapping
grip (little finger of the right
hand overlapping the forefinger
of the left.
A majority use the square
stance: toes on a line parallel TO-
the line of direction, bah played
opposite the left heel.
The average weight of drivers
was 1894 ounces: their average
ength 43 inches
They addressed the ball with
their left arms in comfortable,
at ease position: with no stiff
ness or tension in their bodies.
The majority use a firm grip
with the left hand without tens

ing in any way.
