STRAND

Lots of folks wondered about the faint and indefinable accent ting ing the precise speech of 12-year- old film star Peggy Ann Garner during the filming of "Nob Hill" the 2Oth Century-Fox technicolor hit now at the Strand theater.
 Not until her father, It. William Garner of the U. s. Army Intel | ligence, arrived on furlough to visit Peggy Ann on the set did they get clue.
 Papa Garner has pronounced but also indefinable accent. Questioned about, 1t he explained that he was born in Spenyymoor, County Durham, England, where you just step across the border to find yourself in Scotland. His mother. Phoebe Huxley-a descend- ant of famed scientist Thomas Hem ry Huxley, was Welsh and Eng fish. His father was of English. Scottish and Irish blood. Peggy Ann's mother, though born in East Chicago, Indiana, is also of Scot tish and Irish descent. Which explains not only Peggy Ann's real-life accent, but the ease with which she adopted the slight brogue as the little Irish immigrant she plays in Mob Hill" The companion feature is Fog Is- land starring Lionel Atwill and George Zucco.

come to MT. Donovan's office. They were not told the purpose of the visit. But both tellers told MT. Don- ovan that they knew and remembef- ed Thiel the moment they saw him.
 The two tellers said they remem- bered particularly Thiel's hands, which they described as small and delicate, like a woman's. CThey seemed to have forgotten that not- able feature at MT. Campbell's trial, six months after the forgery. MT. Campbell's hands are womanish).
 The retired bank president, con- fronted by both men, still maintain ed that MT. Campbell was the forg- CT.
 '.NO HARD FEELINGS"
 As for the resemblance of the two men when they were brought together-"They didn't look any more alike than I look like MT. Wagner over there," said the blond and slightly rotund MT. Donovan, indicating slim, black-haired col league sitting nearby.
 "It is true that Thiel was more nearly of Campbell,s weight seven years ago." he continued. But even then they couldn't have looked any, thing alike.'
 When MT. Campbell and Thiel met for the first time in MT. Don- ovan's office, the government attor- ney said that they shook hands and Thiel remarked, No hard feelings, old man, I hope"
 MT. Campbell replied that there were none, and that he knew Thiel had not intended to harm him though he had been grievously wronged.
 Thiel explained to MT. Campbell that he had done everything he could within the limits of self-pre- servation.
 But that will not erase Bertram Campbell's memory of three years and four months in prison; or the nearly four years of monthly parole reports and social ostracism for him. self. his wife, and three children; or the economic handicap of pris- on record, which reduced him from a $10.000-a-year man in a brokers office to a $50-a-week bookkeeper.

seaman, doctor, veterinary, notary, pilot, teacher, chemist and social worker.
 Temporary permits may be issued to persons who prove they are po- litical refugees. Specialists may be temporarily engaged as advisers to military or civil institutions and give guest seminars with the ap- proval of the Interior Ministry.
 The law is stated not to be retro active. Any foreigner who has prac- ticed for five years is enabled to register his degree with the Gen. eral Direction of Professions within one year.
 The law, which was the enabling section of Articles 4 and 5 of the 1917 Constitution, was designed mainly to clean up the professions where many persons have been practicing without permits or gen. uine degrees. Attempts to remedy this situation had been made for many years, rising to a national istic climax after 1940, when Mex ican professionals feared they would be swamped by European refugees, especially Spaniards.
 The present law, however, spe- officially exempts political refugees from the restrictions. With the victory in Europe, the Spanish Re- publicans and a few-Latin-A Amer jeans appear to be the only pro- fessionals who would now claim exemption.
 Editors Protest
 Editorial comme ent protested against too rigid interpretations of the anti-foreigner clauses. Excel sior, Ultimas Noticias and Nove- dadas, which previously took a strong stand against foreign in- filtration" agreed that foreign in- fluence in the sciences was healthy and said the restrictions are con- trary to Mexican practice. Fl Uni-

versal Grafico said Mexico has a perfect right to establish reason able restrictions of unfair compe- tition with Mexican professionals but doubted whether the law was entirely reasonable.
 The main part of the law dealt with organizing the professions on a stricter basis. It provides for creation of professional bodies to watch over their members, some what on the lines of the American Medical association. It put an end to the very common custom of professionals practicing without regular degree or with faulty or bogus degrees. This step was hailed by the National university which has long wanted to take the lead in regulating the professions.
 Professionals who do not give their clients proper service or re- fuse their services may now be arrested and fined $10 and upwards. Every professional up to the age of 60 was obligated to give a cer- tain amount of his time to social services. Professionals practicing without a degree might not charge for their services. Professionals who do not register their degrees could be jailed for Is days and fined. Service to Clients
 The law stressed particularly the professionals duty to their clients. Whenever possible, contract stip- ulating services and fees must be signed. Article B said: "The pro- fessional is obligated to place all his scientific knowledge and technical resources at the services of his client. In case of urgency the serv- ices will be provided at any hour and at any place provided it is not more than IS miles from the pro- fessional's home"
 Apart from the thorny question of restriction on foreigners, the law was greeted favorably by ex- isting professional groups and by individual professionals. They point ed out that they had long wanted some method of policing their pro- fessions. Architect Carlos Obregon de Santacilla, president> of the Mexican Architects society, said he believed it would now be possible to run out of the profession bogus contractors and lawyers whose constructions were merely specu- lative.
 Some opposition came from Rogelio de la Selva, private secre- tary to Interior Minister Miguel Aleman, who said the law was likely to create closed profess e.. caste. He said: '"The law protects the professionals at present to cover our needs"
 The Mexican Bar association said the group into professional organ nations should be compulsory. The law stated that the new General Direction of Professions, a branch of the Ministry for Education should decide this and also the distribution of professionals geo. graphically according to local needs Fl Universal Grafico commented We hope the law will not gel mixed up with politics"

how MT. Campbell got involved in the first place. But MT. Donovan says that Thiel stole checks from the brokerage firm where Mir. Campbell then worked. Police, in- vestigating the theft, found that the only telephone call made after hours had been made from MT. Campbell's desk, and this led to his arrest.
 Among those who identified Mir. Campbell at the trial were a teller from New Jersey bank which Thiel had hoodwinked, the teller who had waited on Thiel at the Trust Go. of North America, and the latter banks president, now retired.
 It should be said to the credit of the New York Police forgery squad that they apparently were not convinced that the right man was in prison. For, some time after the trial. one of the squads detec- tives asked the bank president to go with him to Philadelphia to look at man who might have some con- nection with "the Campbell case"
 The banker is quoted as having said:
 If you showed me 10000 men, I'd still lay Campbell was the man."
 When Thiel was brought back last month, the retired bank president and the two tellers were asked to
