Circus Seal Steals
 Spot light At Opening
shorkey Gives Stellar zO-Minute Performance as AII-AFound Trooper; Country Fair Scores Hit With Appreciofive Audience
TeciQfiXe Audience.

Clrcus-loVers got their i'll of thrills, laughs, and hot buttered popcorn yesterday when the Giant le16 Circus presented eight lively acts featuring international circus stars, aerialists, flying acrobats, and trained wild animals at the Munici- pal Stadium.
 The fresh-air cireus, combined with country fair, is sponsored by the building fund committee of the Church of St. John of the Cross, Middlebury,
 Sharkey the Seal was undoubtedly the stellar attraction at last nights performances. For more than twenty minutes that inimitabie star of stage and screen from tine frozen north thrilled young and old alike with antics in his tank and on stage.
 With evident pride in perform ance, Sharkey saved a drowning ceiluloid baby, made graceful five-foot jump from the water over a pole anchored on stage, and exc cuted sweeping dives for sinking disks.
 An all-round trouper, Sharkey shone just as brilliantly on stage. His enlulations of the emperor of Japan talking to himself and B-29 flying over Tokyo brought down the house.
 Bears Score Hit
 Two huge Pallenberg bears, how ever, offered the versatile Sharkey rather stiff competition with their graceful waltzes, cycling, and roller skating.
 The audience gasped and ducked and aplauded as the Flying Lamars, big time circus aerialists, flew through the air against the dark ness of the night sky.
 And even the combat veterans in the audience found their pulses thrcbbing when Eric the Great. Scandinavian daredevil, stood on his head atop 135-foot pole. Said a soldier wearing several Bronze stars: The guy must be daffy. De-

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Invisible Spots Will Come Back to I aunt Y You If Cleaner Isn't Told
INVISIBLE SPOTS
 BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer


 BY ALICIA HART
 NEA Staff Writer
 Spots which come back on clear clothes to glare at you again may be your fault-not the dry-clean- CTS.
 A tannin stain, for instance caused by spills from soft drinks coffee. tea, fresh fruit juice, cock tails,, ketsup or mustard, will disappear as the fabric dries There may not be any trace oi it at all by the time the garment reaches the dry-cleaner. But it will reappear in time as a perma- nent brown stain.
 Unless you mark the spot while it Is still damp and visible - and will tell your cleaner what you spilled - how is he to know spot is there which needs special treat nient, if he isn't even able to see?
 If oil = salad, cooking or cod- liver = spots up a garment, the chances for removal depend upon early treatment by your dry cleaner. Any one of these oils on fabric changes chemically and grows darker, so the longer you wait, the less readily soluble they are in clean- ing fluid.
 If powder, makeup creams or Elin-tan lotions are ground into necklines by too many wearings before blouses are sent out, your dry-cleaner may have to make a choice between letting the stuff stay in or Wrecking the fabric.

900 u. 5. Bombers
Batter Reich Targets
After Raj Night Raid!
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, March 7.-More than
BOO American heavy bombers struck
In a seven-pronged attack today
at oil plants in the Dortmund area,
a large railway viaduct at Bielefeld,
and railroad yards at Soest and
Siegen after steady Raj night
assaults on German troops massed
at Wesel on the Rhine.
The 9Th Air Force bombers were
covered by $50 fighters in this 23d
straight day of aerial blows closely
co-ordinated with the ground attack
Oil targets included three benzol
plants and large refinery on Dort-
mund's outskirts. Bielefeld, Soest
and Siegen all are on main rail and
highway routes from Central and
Eastern Germany to the western
front.
Viaduct Is Target.
Smashing of the Bielefeld viaduct
would stop the main flow of traffic
from the big inland bases of Bruns-
wick ana Hanover to the Ruhr bat
tlefield.
British warplanes overnight made
an eight-hour attack on Wesel,
Nazi escape town on the east bank
of the Rhine. 1t was the longest air
attack ever carried out against a
German city.
Other British heavy bombers, con-
tinuing their pace of supporting
troops on two fronts simultaneously,
made heavy attack on SaSsnitz on
the Baltic island of Ruegen, which
has been serving the Nazis as a
terminal port for evacuation and
supply Of East Prussia.
Berlin Hit Again.
At the same time Raj Mosquitoes
attacked Berlin with tWo-ton block
busters for the 18th straight night
Some of the crews said that while
over Berlin they could see guns fir
ing along the Russian front.
Obliteration of Wesel, 80 miles
north of Dusseldorf, started late
yesterday afternoon when Mosquitoes
SKINNED over the city and found it
packed with German troops, armor
and transport fleeing in front of the
Canadian 1st Army
The Mosquitoes dropped their
bombs, then radioed for help A
short while later a large force of
Lancasters was on its way across
the lower tip of the North Sea, with
other Lancasters and Mosquitoes fol-
lowing at regular intervals.
Except for one brief interval,
Wesel was bombed continually from
about o'clock last night until $50
this morning. Three hours later the
German radio said it was under at
tack again.

of the court which have manifested
themselves in opinions. At one side
Justices Black and Frankfurter are
depicted dagging fingers at each
other. Looking on the scene, former
