that committee members were
well equipped to prove that future

Uncle Roy's Corner

One day an Australian In diving
suit was at work in the ocean near
the mouth of the River Moyne.
Suddenly he felt something holding
his arm. At first he could not
see what it was, but then, to his
horror. he learned that it was q
large octopus!
Let the diver himself finish his
story:
HE was like a huge boa constric-
tor and got hold OF my hand. Tho
more I tried to take 1t away the
greater the pain.
ut was hard to keep nv feet
firmly on the sea bottom. II nv
feet had got uppermost I should
have become insensible. II I had
given the signal to be pulled up
the brute would have held on and
the chances are I'd have broken
my arm.
II had a hammer down by me,
but could not reach it. There was
a small iron bar not far from me
Evening star., 1944-02-18

and with my feet I dragged this
along until I could reach it with
my left hand.
Now the fight started. The more
u struck him the tighter he squeezed.
My right arm became numb, but
after a time his grip began to
relax. He held on, however, even
though I had almost cut him 70
pieces.
"At length he let go his hold on
rock. As I was pulled to the sur
face he came up with me. I had
been in that position for over 20
minutes. We measured the octopus
and found that he was more than
8 feet across"
A narrow escape like that Is
something to remember. Yet we
should bear in mind that the octo-
pus does not always attack people
who come near it. Often it Is
timid and moves away from any one
who gets close.
| Japanese fishermen have been
known to capture small octopuses
and make use of them. In one case
an octopus, with line fastened to
him, was let down until he touched
some porcelain dishes in sunken
boat. Clinging to the dishes, the
octopus brought them up, one after
another during trips to and from
| the sea bottom!

Rose spent part of her time dancehall girl

.Wolper Plans
A Busy Future
In the Theater
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK.
Since David Wolper isn't a grad
uate of the start-at-the bottom
school of theatrical expression, the
old timers on Broadway say he
won't last. But he seems to have a
fairly firm toehold, with one of the
big musical hits of the year, a big
Times Square night club and a the
atrical legal practice which is
enough to keep him profitably en-
ployed full time.
Dave, Al, and a native New Yorker
became Broadway producer in a
side door sort of way.
One of his clients was a woman
who owned one-third of the Hurri-
cane. a Broadway night club. She
didn't like to bother with it, so she
gave her third to Dave.
Then Wolper bought out the other
two owners. built the Hurricane into
one of the most popular on the
stem-and looked around for some
/ thing else to do. He got the urge tc
produce a Broadway show, gathered
around him some established Broad
way technicians and came up with
