Warrior, American Opera,
Has Premiere at the Met
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE War
rior," an opera about strong man
Samson and glamour-girl Delilah
with music by Bernard Rogers, and
text by Norman Corwin, had its pre-
miere this afternoon at the Metro
po1itan Opera House.
Staged imaginatively by Max
Graf with one set and changing
lights, it showed Samson's betrayal
into the hands of the vengeful
Philistines, his binding, a prison
scene and his triumph in the crash
of the temples great pillars.
Using an early operate form, Mr.
Rogers set the voices soaring indie
pendently in one direction and the
sparse orchestral accompaniment
wandering off in another. The form
was adequate, but the music. despite
some good isolated passages, lacked
build-up, continuity and feeling; ii
had mood but no kick.
AS the first new American work
presented at the Met in three years
it had received an advance glae
hand, sight unseen, from music low
ers; it was the winner of the 81 ,50(
award in the contest sponsored by
Columbias Alice M. Ditson Fund.

By the Assaeiated Press

HAMMOND, Ind, Jan. ia
Hammond policeman was shot to
death tonight and two rookie radio
patrolmen were injured, one crit
ically; in a savage fight with two
men that followed a routine check
of a parked automobile.
The slain policeman was John j.
Gerka, 80, bachelor war veteran
who had been on the force since
1945. Donald B. Cook, 81, was shot
through the hip and abdomen and

mala, 20, was beaten on the head
with a pair of hedge clipping shears.
Mr.. Cook and Mr. Mamala had
been on the force only five days.
Mr.. Mamala said the three Off
GERS, patroling in a radio car, saw
an automobile parked beside the
playground of school. Mr.. Gerka
stepped from the police car and was
killed instantly by .45-caliber pis-
tol bullet fired from the other auto.
Mr.. Cook was felled by another
bullet as he followed Mr.. Gerka.
Mr.. Mamala said he grappled with
two men who had got out of the
other car and took the pistol from
a man who appeared to be about
IS years old. Mr.. Mamala said the
man struck him with the shears and
pulled away, leaving a leather jacket,
and fled on foot with a companion.

| |Hiccough Attack
|, Still Persistinq
| After 5 Weeks
BY The Assoe;o,sd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. llama
Mayer, 21-year-old Queens County
girl, was hiccoughing at orle-second
intervals today after an attack that
has continued for five weeks
A physician who has seen her
through various attackssof the affiic-
ton in the past five years some
mild, some violent, some Of short
duration and one that lasted three
|months-said the present attack
was the second longest.
About two years ago she under
went an operation after three
months of incessant hiccoughing
and for a time thereafter had only
occasional mild attacks.
DIR. Joseph Rekant and DR.. Sam
uel Novel; who are treating her, said
they had not decided whether she
would have another operation such
as the last, in which the phrenic
nerve near the heart was cut.
DR.. Rekant said the girl cannot
eat normally. or sleep without heavy
sedatives which stop the hiccough-
ing only for a few hours.

Gov. ArnaII Resigns
In Apparent Attempt
To Block TaImadqe
Will Leave Office When
Thompson Qualities for
Lieutenant Governor
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 11.-Ellis
Arnall resigned today as Cover
nor of Georgia, effective imme-
diately after the qualification OF
the lieutenant governor in a
maneuver apparently aimed ct
blocking succession of Herman
Talmadge to the Office won by
his late father.
The Governor, who unseated
Gene Talmadge in 1912 and who
was ineligible to seek reelection
when Gov. Talmadge won fourth
nonconsecutive term in 1916, dra-
matically removed himself from the
controversy which has torn Georgia
since death claimed the defender
of white supremacy"
His resignation automatically
makes M. E. Thompson a claimant
to the governorship the moment he
is sworn in as Georgias first lieu
tenant governor. 1t will be effective
regardless of whether the Legisla-
ture sustains Herman's claims to
Office based on few hundred write
invotes acknowledged to have been
engineered on election day as in
surance" in case Gene Talmadge
died.
Would Avoid Vacancy.
Gov. Arnall announced immedi-
ately after Mr.. Talmadge's funeral
that he regarded Mr.. Thompson as
the only legal successor, and would
resign as soon as Mr.. Thompson
was eligible. Talmadge leaders
ridiculed this and predicted Gov. Ar
nall would cling to Office. At the
same time. they arranged to pre-
vent Mr.. Thompson from being Of
ficially certified until the Legisla-
ture could be induced to name Her
man for his fathers term. This
maneuver, they said, would avoid
a vacancy and prevent Gov. Arnall
from handing the governorship to
Mr.. Thompson.
Gov. Arnalps move appeared to
preclude any situation in which he
and Herman Talmadge might be
rival Governors.

| Thomas N. Ryan Lost
After Plane Crashes
In San Francisco Bay
BY the Assoeioted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. II. =
Thomas M. Ryan. 81. son of Thomas
Fortune Ryan III, apparently per-
ished today when his single-engined
plane crashed into the waters OF
fog-ridden San Francisco Bay a
few miles south of the Municipal
Airport.
The slim possibility that young
Ryan, who worked for Phoenix
(Ariz.), crop busting company
might have survived the crash
which spread wreckage of the plane
over a wide area, was not COM
pletely discounted. An all-day
search was made of the shallow
water salt fats near the crash
scene in the hope that Mr.. Ryan
may have parachuted from the
plane, or miraculously survived the
landing.
Made Three Contacts.
Mr.. Ryan became lost in the
heavy fog after taking off from
the private Belmont Airport, 9 miles
south of the Municipal Airport, at
4:59 am, en- route to the larger
field to take on gasoline for a trip
to Los Angeles. Z He made three
contacts with the control tower
within a short space of time, then
lapsed into silence.
Coast Guard crash boats began
a search of the area around the
airport, situated on the shores OF
San Francisco Bay some 10 miles
south of here. Wreckage was dis
covered at 10:45 am. off San
Mateo Point, and Coast Guards
men said one piece of fabric con-
tanned the numbers "31," which
would correspond to the planes
registered number, NC56315.
At the Ryan Aviation Associates,
Inc, firm here, which the youths
father heads, it was said there was
no doubt about identity.
Was War Veteran.
The elder Mr.. Ryan is chairman
of the board of Mid-Continent Air
Lines, and also had an interest in
the crop dusting firm for which
his son worked. The youths father
was en- route to San Francisco to-
day. His mother. who is divorced
from the father, resides here.
The great grandson OF Thomas
Fortune Ryan, who amassed a for
tune in finance, mining, railroads
and other interests, celebrated his
2lst birthday just two days ago.
He had come to San Francisco for
a visit, and to spend some time in
the Ryan Aviation Associates office.
He was a veteran of the war,
serving as tail gunner in a Bit
with the 306th Bombardment Group
in England He received the Air
Medal with three clusters, and end
ed his service as staff sergeant.
Unmarried, he was christened
Thomas Fortune Ryan w, but
changed his name to Thomas
Michael to avoid confusion with
that of his father.

Letter Dated Yesterday.
The letter was dated January IL,
l947, and came just 48 hours before
the Legislature convenes to accept
or reject claims of Herman Tai
madge.
Commenting on Gov. Arnall's
qualified resignation, Mr.. Talmadge
said: That is just another effort
by Gov .Arnall to dictate his sue
cessor as Governor, in order that he
may control him. am confident
that when the legislature elects me
Governor that Gov. Arnall will COM
ply with the law"
Mr.. Thompson, who says the Leg
islature is without authority to elect
an alternate to Gene Talmadge, and
who claims enough Assembly sup
port to defeat Herman, would not
comment or Arnalls move.
Mr.. Talmadge bases his claim to
the governorship on section OF
Georgia's Constitution requiring the
Legislature to canvass votes cast in
a general election, and to declare
elected that person with clear ma
| jority. = The Constitution provides
that if no person has majority,
the Assembly shall elect Governor
from the two persons having the
highest number of votes, who shall

of the two highest alternates on
basis Of approximately TOO write-in
votes. The other is acknowledged to
be D. Talmadge Bowers. North Geor-

Influence of Hollywood
On Latin America


Since the beginning of the 10Th
century, the influence of France in
Latin America has been very strong.
Fashions in food and dress, in art
and literature were all affected by
1t. After World War I, however,
the United States began to flood the
world with its manufactured goods
With them went. also, part of the
social moreS and the new philoso-
ply of life which had come out of
the postwar prosperity, all very diff
ferent from the semi-medieval pat
tern which the Catholic Church had
imposed on the Latin American
countries, and was still striving to
maintain.
This philosophy expressed itself in
terms of material success, irrev-
erence toward the established moral,
artistic and ethical tabooS; heavy
drinking, speed and mechanization.
1t was a gadget-minded philosophy,
And the Hollywood movies were the
best vehicles for advertising that
new and exciting way of life. From
them the moviegoers of Latin Amer
lea learned that the American
women had bobbed their hair, were
moving from large houses to small
apartments, easier to take care of;
and above all. that they were smok-
ing and drinking like men, and
trying TO earn their own living in
order not to have to depend upon
their parents and husbands for
financial support.
American moVieStarS captivated
the hearts of the Latin Americans,
setting up new pattern of romance.
These people had been used to
Italian and French pictures based
either on the history of Carthage
and Ancient Rome, or sultry tales
OF adultery and crimes of passion
that were mclodramatic and slow in
pace. Now they were seeing the
snappy American pictures, full of
adventurous action and suspense.
Some of these tended to moralize
and show that crime does not pay,
and that virtue and goodness are
always rewarded in the end.
AT the same time, the young people
were taking to the jazz music which
American made records brought
them. and initiating the dances they
saw in the Hollywood movies. The
Charleston, the black bottom and
the shimmy were taking the place
OF the waltz SchottiSh and mazurka
of their parents. Then came the
talkies and American movies gained
a still greater foothold. In the early
thirties, they reflected life with
such realism that the Latin Ameri-
can audiences were Surfeited with
