POLL

Opening today at the Loew-Poli Theater is "The Home on 92nd Street" starring William Eythe, Lloyd Nolan and Signe Hasso. Five days after the atomic bomb blasted Japan, a bombshell hit Hollywood! ]! Behind locked doors, surrounded with the utmost secrecy, 20th Gen. tury-Fox studios had been at work for months on motion picture, the story of which was adapted from cases in the espionage files of the Federal Bureau of InveStiga- ton. The first picture ever filmed with the official cooperation of the FBI, 1t could not be made public until the first atmoic bomb was dropped on Japan.
 William Eythe plays the part of a German-American who, trained by the Nazis at their school for spies and saboteurs, and working with the FBI finds himself caught in the meshes of the dangerous schemes of the designing Signe Hasse and the powerful forces of the Federal agents, directed by Loldy Nolan, who gathers the slim clues that send them all on the perilous trail leading to the crash ing climax of the suspence-packed, thrill-1lled drama of this mighty manhunt.
 This picture reveals how the FB1 safeguarded the secret of the atomic bomb during the years of research and experiment which went into producing it. The title of the pie ture, which was made secretly in New York, Washington and other locales, refers to the address Of one headquarters of enemy agents seeking the secret of the bomb ex- periments. None of the actors knew the inside story of the film was that of the protection of the atomic bomb. This information was added to the screen play after the first of the bombs was dropped on Japan
 The co-feature is the entertain ing film, Club Havana" with Tom Neal and Margaret Lindsay.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 15- DEAR STAFF: Are you kiddies utterly mad,' completely mad" or too, too mad?" If you're not. despair of your chances to win social suc- cess in Hollywood.
 Being acclaimed mad" confers a certain distinction on a citizen of Filmville. There are varying degrees of madness, of course. Be- ing just plain mad (to draw loose comparison) is about equivalent in our local social scale to being a baronet in England. Being "too, too mad' is on par with being a peer of the realm and Knight of the Garter.
 Our No. automobile dealer pro- claims himself in all of his adver- Using (and by many of his action) as "Madman Muntz." Jack O'Shea, "The Mad Auctioneer," is a pillar of strength in our local business world. Bert Gordon's career as a comic took on a new lustre when he began billing himself as "The Mad Russian"
 Iljten to conversations in our swank cafes-for example, a group of ladies banning an absentee. Eagerly they cite the victims faults. For 30 minutes, they tear her reputation to shreds. Then comes the summation, the final crushing indictment that nails her hopeless ly and forever to the cross of so- cial ostracism: She's so boresomely sane!" Once that cerdict is passed, she hasn't a prayer.
 The conversation next swings to a favorite. This time the absentee'S insane antics are recounted, one by one, in admiring tones. Again comes the summation: How ut terly madl" And you know the gals been accepted. She's member of the varisity, bon-ton belle, an ob- ject of universal admiration.
 Excuse me, kiddies, Josephine wants to see me in the imperial throne room.
 NAPOLEON FIDLER.
 Your Majesty: There's hope for us, boss, for we were almost mad enough to take your sign-off ser iously. Undoubtedly we were led astray by our knowledge that there are quite few people around these parts who would like to crown you.
 Now for some utterly mad gos- sip:
 There seems to be a great mystery about the identity of the sensa- tional new chanteuse introduced by Harry James in his Columbia recording of T Can't Begin To Tell You" Insiders who should know insist that Ruth Haag" is actual ly Betty Grable, renamed because 20th Century bosses wouldn't okay the use of her own monicker Veteran fans who like to keep track

Yale Injury List Grows

 Studded with scintlllating new song hits by Mack Gordon and James Monaco, and packed with the years most spectacular dance sequences, "The Dolly Sisters" re- vealS the poignant drama and un- usual romance that underscored the talented sisters sensational adven- lures as the toasts of the enter tainment world from Broadway to the Riviera and as the darlingS of royalty.
 For Betty Grable, the part of Jenny Dolly is her first biographical role, and the high dramatic con- tent of the story gives her an op- portunity to display her exceptional acting ability along with the al- ready famous Grable song-and- dance glamour. In the role of Harry Fox, the song writer whose romance with Jenny Dolly made headlines the world over, John Payne con- tinues where he left of before join- ing the Army Air Forces (and from which he was recently honorably discharged) as one of the screen S top male test of her sensational rise to stardom as Rosie Dolly, Jenny's equally talented sister.

 USGA President

New York, Nov. 15 - (UP) - Charles Littleheld of Montclair, N. J., chairman of the National Rules Committee, was nominated today to succeed Morton Bogue of New York as president of the U. s. Golf As sociation.
 Littlef1eld headed a slate of off, cers nominations which will be voted upon by delegates to the annual meeting on Jan. 12, 1946 at New York. Nomination is tantamount to election.

Ephedrine Might Mask Stronger Drug;
 Horses Cont Be Medicoted Before Race

improper medication or drug has been administered, internally or ex- formally, which affects the racing condition of a horse in a race, such stewards shall impose such penal ties and take such other action as they may deem proper
 Although the trainer or groom of such horse may not be shown to have known of or participated in such acts, he may be punished as if he had knows or participated therein Tn other words, the handler of the horse is responsible.
 "Of course there are attempts to confuse the issue. At hearing last year one of the principals involved sat during the session conspicuous ly shifting drug store benzedrine inhaler. The point he was obviously trying to get over was that if a human being could absorb benze- drine indefinitely, 1200-pound horse should not be affected by 1t.
 We maintain that the dosage makes a great difference and that in test 1t is possible for milder medicatiops to conceal the pres ence of real narcotics"
 Of 3409 saliva or urine tests in New York in 1943-44, only two were positive. Of 4564 in Illinois over the same stretch of time, only five were positive, There was none in other states, where various numbers of horses were examined.
 Smith, who said he would ap- peal, had saddled 52 winners this year and made Mrs. Elizabeth N. Standardization Arden of the cosmetic fortune-the leading money winner with $510,645 be- fore the case of Magnific Duel bobbed up in cheap race for maiden three-year-olds.
 Silent Tom Smiths remark: T knew I was being watched,' could be considered Illuminating.
 The results of past saliva and urine tests and the prominence of the trainer and stable make the case unusual.
 The affair has even gone to col- lege. The veterinary schools of Pennsylvania, Cornell and North western have been asked for clin- ical reports regarding the effect of ephedrine on race horses.
 But the rule is clear enough. It even stresses medication and drug, rather than Stimulant.
 And that includes cough drops.

By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Sports Editor

New York, Nov. 15.-Francis Dunne makes the most clarifying statement in connection with the one-year suspension of Trainer Tom Smith of fabulous Maine Chance Farm on the charge that ephedrine was administered to Magnific Duel at Jamaica, Nov. l.
 'It is easy to say" says Stew ard Dunne, that ephedrine is a common medicine for humans, that it requires no prescription at a drug store. Such reasoning can easily lead to a misrepresentation of the stewards point of view.
 Two things must be emphasized:
 First, that the dosage of any medicine may completely alter the affect it may have.
 Second, that the dosage of any medicine may completely alter the affect 1t may have.
 Second, that medicines such as ephedrine, quinine and benzedrine may conceivably mask the pres ence of stronger drug. Quinine will screen heroin in any test, for example. Suppose aspirin covered dynamite. Then would 1t be okeh or permit a trainer to feed horse aspirin prior to race?
 Any letting down of barriers might lead to fragrant abuses.
