CRAzIANO 7-5 PICK DESPITE TWO LOSSES
BY JACK CUDDY ttJnlted Press Shorts Writer)

New York, Sept. 2e-tUP)-The years biggest boxing gate - More than o2ooo-may be achieved at Madison Square Garden tonight when Rocky 0raSiano and Harold Green, young Metropolitan middle. weight feudISts, clash for the third time in c i0.round bout.
 This would better the previous high of si0i ,0ie, paid by i9,2oi fans at the TaYni Mauriello.Lee Oma hea- vyweight fight on March 23,
 A Sell-out crowd is expected be-. cause: CD Rough- House 0raziano of the East Side slumS has captivated New York fans with his Wild-swing. Ing, Slam-hang style and with four straight knockouts; (2) smart, spec. dy Green of Brooklyn won two close decisions over draziano before Rocky clicked off his cluster of kayoeS; (3) both youngsters were on the canvas in the last brawl and CD Rocky D favored at 7.6 to avenge his previous defeats, because of his heavy punch.
 Moreover, the colorful trio: fighter Green, manager Solly Gold and trainer Freddie Brown, have been shouting oil over Jacobs Beach that Toughie draziano used choking and holding -whiie.hltting tactics before, and that he had better refrain thb time--"or else" It seems that the two camps are not very chuminy.
 Both previous bouts were 10 rounders at the Garden, on Nov. 9, and Dec. 22. Tn the first brawl, the final bell saved Green from c knock out just after he had staggered to his feet from flifle-court. But he had piled up enough points to eS- cape with the decision. Tn their De- cember engagement, 0raziano was floored for three in the second round and Green for nine in the eighth session. Again Green squeezed through with the verdict.
 After these defeats, draziano-- son of former sfnali-time fighter -cafne back i1agnificentiy by knock ing out Billy Arnold, Bunny Davis and Weiterweight Champion Fred- de Cochrane (twice). For those four bouts, he attracted gates to. talling 9207,000. His second bout with Cochrane drew slightly more than c hundred grand. He iS doth- ai1's newest Golden Boy"
 Qraziano expects to out-weigh Green about i65 pounds to i40.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 28 - People who like to contend that the only advances made in screen art" are technical should go to a local news reel theater which offers, every week, excerpts from early-day movies. A few visits should convince them that they're viewing the past through rose-colored glasses.
 Great as the technical improve ments in photography, set design and projection have been, the change in acting (strictly for the better is even more noticeable. Last week, for instance, when I paid @ visit to that theater, I saw Lillian Gish play a sequence in a Biograph melodrama filmed in 1910.
 What haInmingl After racing down Q flight of stairs to telephone for the police, she was supposed to fall to the floor in a faint. Miss Gish one of the great artists of that period, circled the set about three times, clutching her heart with one hand and throwing the other aloft every now and then with the passion of a Na2i underling saluting Hitler, then staggered wildly, spun around on her heel and made 0 crash landing that must have crippled her axis for weeks.
 Her performance was acclaimed one of the outstanding acting gems of the year. Today It's 0 comedy classic.
 Memories That Bless And Burn: When Tad (Andy'S son) Devine, told that his father was the real Santa Claus" refused to believe 1t "he- cause papa's too big to get down the chimney" When Clark Gable, mobhed by schoolgirl fans after the preView of "A Free Soul" eluded them by slipping out of his Sl60 overeoat and leaping onto the runs ming board of O passing car When Marjorie Weaver, ordered to gain weight for her role of Mary Todd in "Young Mir.

One of the most gripping mo- ton pictures of the year, with c superb cast headed by Margaret O'Brien and Edward c. Robinson called Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" Is being presented at the Loew.Poli theater.
 Both stars rise to new heights in roles far different from those they portrayed recently. Little Margaret s simply superb as Selma, @ seven- year-oid Wisconsin farm girl who battles almost single-handedly against the complacency and self~ centered attitude of the towns men and women which is inevitably leads ing to their destruction. Robin. son, whose recent roles were in Double Indemnity" and "Woman in the Window" now plays Mar garet'S father, Q farmer whose first and last devotions are to his own home and his own family.
 Tn solid support of these two are James Craig, editor of the local newspaper, Q forward-looking young man who is Selmas confident and ally: Frances Clifford beautiful and talented, as the new school teacher; and young Jackie Butch" Jenkins, delightful as selma's flve- year -old cousin and playmate.

Prison Raid Short, Sweet
By RALPH TEATSORTH

General MacArthur'S Headquar- ters, LuZon, Feb. 2 - (U.P0 - At '7:45 p. m, Tuesday, a shot echoed through the Cabanatuan prison camp on Luzon and the battle for the liberation of the imprisoned sur- vivors of Bataan and Corregidor was on.
 It lasted only IS minutes. In that quarter hour, all 510 American and Allied prisoners were moved out ot the camp and all 73 Japanese guards were killed-knifed, bayon- cited or shot by American Rangers and Filipino guerrillas. The heavily-armed, be-whiskered Rangers, mostly farm boys who con- fessed they were crazy about fight in'," started out on their rescue mission Sunday. Scorning helmets, they wore fatigue caps at jaunty angles.
 Working stealthily through the enemy lines, they reached point just north of the prison stockade late Tuesday afternoon after hiking 29 miles through overgroWn rice fields and clumps of woods.
 Captain Robert w. Prince of Seat tie, Wash, commanded the actual attack. He deployed 73 guerrillas tc guard the main road east Of the stockade and 85 more to guard the road west.
 The Rangers split into two forces One group under First Lieutenant John F. Murphy of Q35 Woodlawn streeD Springfield, Mass, took two hours to crawl into positions behind the stockade. Murphy, who once ran was a star quarterback at Notre Dame under the late Coach Knute Rockne.
 The second group under First Lieutenant William J. Connell o1 (34 Isabelle street., Boston, craWled for an hour and half to get into position for frontal assault on the main gate.
 At 7:30 D. m., all forces were de- ployed and ready to strike. Then followed Is minutes of tense wait ing, expecting momentarily to be discovered
 The signal for the assault, by agreement, was fired by Murphys S men, who had taken positions be- heath the rear guard tower. The soon bedlam broke loose. initial shot killed the guard, and
 Ranger Theodore Richard (ad- dress unknown), in the vanguard of Councils detachment, advanced to blast the lock from the prison gate, but at the crucial moment the am- intuition clip fell from his gun.
 Richardson reached for his pistol, but the Japanese sentry, recovering from his amaZement at the Rangers appearance, knocked it from his hand. Richardson recovered the pis- tol, however, killed the sentry and blew of the gate lock.
