Maureen Tries Change
Of Pace In ''Big Clock

HOLLYWOOD - Maureen
O'Sullivan chose a trying role
for her return to the screen after
a five year absence-that of a
wife confronted with circum-
stantial evidence pointing to her
husband as a man wanted for
murder.
This occurs in Paramount's S
suspe ense drama, "The Big
Clock" in which she plays the
wife of Ray Milland, who stars
with Charles Laughton.
A challenging part for any
actress because of its demands
for constant tense pitch
throughout, Maureen found the
role exciting and considerably
different from anything she had
attempted.
'It's a great relief to find
yourself in something other than
an ingenue role" she said. ''The
sweet young things have their
place, but it gets tiresome play
ing them"

CulIs In Carson Film
ILured By Fishermen

HOLLYWOOD-During film
ing of Desire Me-" starring
Greer Carson, with Robert
Mitchum and Richard Hart, an
odd situation was discovered on
a coast location on California s
Monterey Peninsula-there were
no sea gulls! And gulls were
needed for scenes coming up,
but right up to three weeks of
shooting-no gulls.
They were there, however,
when filming of the scenes
began. The studio had employed
fishermen to "chum" the Pacific
waters with bait. Thousands of
birds, more than needed, flew
in to get the free feed-and got
into the picture.

Mclean GroupFormed
To Fight Current Plan
For Sanitary District

A group of citizens opposed to
the proposed Fairfax County SAM
tary District, No. 3, met last night
at the Mclean Parish Hall and
organized a Taxpayers Protective
Association to contest present plans
for the formation of the district.
The association decided to en-
ploy Wilson M. Farr, Fairfax at
torney, to present its case when the
sanitary district question comes be-
fore Circuit Judge Paul E. Brown.
Although the project as proposed
by the Citizens Committee for San
itary District No. 3 was severely
criticized, the association generally
agreed that the Mclean area needs
some type of sewage system and
possibly water. 1t was decided that
the group would present an alter
nate plan for the creation OF a
smaller sanitary district to serve
the Mclean area.
Richard M. Smith, publisher OF
the Providence Journal, declared
that under existing legislation water
and sewer systems could be installed
in the sanitary district without a
referendum If the Board of Super
visors chose to take such action.
He told the committee that the
Mclean area could be served with
water by enlarging his private water
system and that sewage system
for the area could be installed for
less than 100000.

a juror, and try to arrange meet
ing between him and Hicks, Martin s

Adequate Oil Supply
For Heating Predicted

Adequate supplies of oil for home
heating and gasoline for normal
driving" will be available here
throughout the coming winter, M. j.
Rathbone, president of the Stand
ard Oil Co. of New Jersey, predicted
yesterday.
The outlook for heavy fuel oil sup
plies is not so bright, however. he
added, saying:
Despite our best efforts, it ap-
pears that our supply of this prod
uct will be somewhat below our
customers demands through most
Of the winter"
Mr. Rathbone, testifying before
the Senate Small Business Subcom-
mittee investigating the oil supply
situation, commented
The situation between demand
and supply throughout the whole
Eastern Seaboard is in very close
balance"
Any diSlocation would produce a
shortage, but it probably would be
of short duration and not serious
he said.
The greatest driving spree in his
tory on the part of the American
motorist" has contributed to the
tight petroleum product supply pic
ture, he said.
Mr.. Rathbone said his predictions
apply to the District, in which his
company is major supplier.

her silver tea service into Spain
without having it conflscated by
the Germans at the border.
"At that time" she said, you had
to have a permit to take silver or
any other metal out of the country.
I didn't have a permit and I knew
the Germans would seize it so I
didn't declare it in the hope they
would overlook the silver.
Luckily, when they saw the ca
naries, they sort OF melted and
started whistling to the birds and
then they waved me on without even
