and prodigous: Several weeks ago
when RKO started work on q little
opus called "Deadline at Dawn" the
location department rented an
apartment building in downtown Los
Angeles. 1t was supposed to be an
old tenement in New York and IL
looked like one. The owner re-
ceived a good-sized check.
A few days ago it was decided that
some added sequences were needed
around the place, so the company
went back to the old building and
scarcely recognized it. The flushed
owner had spent every cent of the
studio check on extensive repairs,
painting and shrubbery. His place
was now the pride of the neighbor-
hood.
Studio workers had a long talk
with the owner and produced an
other check, fatter than the orig
inal. Then they grimly set about

was scraped off and trees and shrubs
were dug up and set aside. When
the apartment and grounds took on
the old appearance, the added
scenes were shot. Then trees, shrubs,
paint and carpentry were put back
in place.
The bewildered owner now firmly
believes that motion pictures are
your best entertainment"

Dentist Describes New
Type Artificial Hand

WASHINGTON, D. C. - A navy
dentist reported recently he has de-
veloped an artificial hand which
combines utility, durability, lifelike
appearance and comfort in wearing.
1t. Cmdr. Lamar w. Harris of the
naval dental corps said that the
hand, made of a newly perfected
rubberlike plastic material, pro-
vides a strong thumb and forefinger
grip with a concealed operating
mechanism.
Harris said the hand combines
the best features of two other appli-
ances o issued by the armed
forces.
These are a metal claw which can
be opened and closed by shoulder
motion but which must be worn
without any covering, and a latex
hand which can be drawn over an
amputated stump like a glove, but
which has no motion and is worn
only for appearances sake.
The new hand, mechanism and
all, weighs about one pound. At rest,
it is closed. A motion of the oppo-
site shoulder linked by a cord
with the mechanism - operates a
lever which causes the forefinger to
rise. When the patient relaxes his
shoulder, a spring aus the finger
to close in a clawlike motion against
the thumb.

atomic Force Seen
As Boon to Planes
PayIoads Could Be Increased
With Ne1U Engine.

Scientists of the
National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics said that an atomic en-
CINE for aircraft is a distant posi-
bility.
They said it is not fantastic to
visualize a fuel supply the size of
a brick with sufficient power to fly
around the world many times.
without the need for large gaso-
line storage" the NACA said in a
statement, "the payloads of COM
mercial aircraft would be greatly
increased, and the knife-like wing
profles essential to %supersonic craft
could be constructed with needed
strength of solid light metal"
Release of atomic energy prom
Uses to widen and broaden the ap-
plication of air transport to the
worlds extension of communication
and business, and not be limited
merely to destructiveness."
The NACA is a body credited with
much of the development and i'm
provement of Americas warplanes
and aircraft engines. 1t said that
many years of research and de-
velopment lie ahead before such an
engine successfully emerges," be-
cause the degree of control achieved
over atomic energy's use as a bomb
nowhere nea approaches the
measure of control needed to con-
vert atomic energy to engine horse
power"
Present type engines are "charac-
terized by a relatively high fuel con-
sumption and a staggering waste of
energy" the committee said, with
one nine-millionth of the total fuel
energy utilized if the calculation is
in terms of atomic energy.
For example, it pointed out that
1920 BTU's Ga measurement of
heat) per pound are obtained from
the molecular reaction of aviation
fuels, while 35 billionBTU per pound
can be obtained from atomic re-
action.

Skilled Labor Shortage
Is Cited by Australian

CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA.-Aus-
tralia's desperate skilled worker
shortage was cited by Premier Jo-
seph Chifiey in the house of repre-
sentatives recently as the reason
for the refusal to grant passports
to a number of doctors, nurses and
stenographers to join the United
Nations relief and rehabilitation ad-
ministration abroad.
Passports have been approved for
only a few nurses in the fighting
forces.
Herbert V. Evatt, minister of ex-
ternal affairs, said that the passport
ban was not a reputation of Aus
tralia's obligations and that his
country would contribute it's full
share within the limits of home re-
quirements.

Zoo Mistake Soddens Boy
(rrom NEA Telephoto)

New York. March 9.-tUP)- Peter Edel, l6. was out one lion cub today because the Central Park Zoo said that a mistake was made when it was sold to him for $25.
 Peter had pet skunk, three dogs, some white mice and an alligator, but when he saw the lion cub was sickly, and heard the Zoo officials talk about killing him, he decided to buy the cub.
 The head keeper, Fred Sandman, said he'd sell the cub for $25, and Peter gave him the money but asked! him to take care of the lion unti. Peters mother would receive him in their home in Reading, Conn.
 Then the lion cub began to get well.
 That changed Sandmanns mind, the Zoos attitude, and finally the whole matter became legal, in a 1,400 word brief the Bureau of Law and adjustment of the city decided the Zoo couldn't sell lions to minors, and ordered the Zoo to return the $25 to Peter.

Marines Set For
 Street Fighting

Washington, March 9. (UP)--The Marines are getting set for town fighting in the Pacific the offlcial Marine magazine Leatherneck said today.
 The art of house toulouse fight ing becomes must for Marines as the war moves out of the jungles and coral atolls and into populated communities" the magazine said in an article titled Street Fighting"
 The article listed six prnciples Of house-to-horse fighting evolved from fighting technlques of the European war" and the experiences of Marines on Guam and Saipan. These in cluded such rules as laying down a heavy artillery barrage or bombing a town before entering but not al- ways leveling it because "a town re- duced to rubble may provide better defensive positions than structures left standing
 Rules were suggested to attack 8 town in parallel lines to avoid shooting at ones own troops, to at- tack house from the rear, to at tack building from top to bottom, because men working their way down & building are in & better de- fensive position than men fighting their way up"
 Surround the town, if possible, so that the enemy will have no avenue of escape" was another rule.
 Basic Marine strategy, revolving around four men teams, was said to provide for two men armed with Nils as searching parties, and a man with a bar and his assistant as the covering party, Marines were advised to learn to fire machine guns from the hip; to avoid using bay onet-'it is too unweildy"; to throw
