intelligence and character than the screen

the public to see.
Nevertheless, she insists that she is en-
tirely lacking in feminine allure. This is
based not on false modesty but on false
logic, She does little if anything to
make herself alluring, concludes there
fore that she must lack that quality.
She is Indifferent to clothes and makeup.

Having compared her to cantankerous

She does not usually quarrel

anybody else.
She likes horseplay and doesn't
mind being on the receiving end.
When she was on the set with
Mike Curtiz, the noted director

NCO Club Cancels Saturdays Game

Tentative plans for Sham rock-NCO club basketball game this weekend were cancelled late Wednesday afternoon, Sham rock manager Art Stacey has announced. The game was post poned because several of the NCO first-stringers are playing in a weekend hockey series in Anchorage.
 MT. Stacey said the Shamrocks would meet an Army team in the local gymnasium Saturday, but he was unprepared to name the opponent at press-time. Either the 175th Signal Corps squad from the Anchorage city league or the Post Motor Pool five were named as possible op- ponents for the Shamrocks.
 The Palmer high school squad has tentative engagement with a Post Headquarters team that same evening. At press-time plans were that the high school would play the 8 o'clock curtain raiser and the Shamrocks the feature game at 9:15.
 MT. Stacey said the NCO game would be played sometime after the Fur Rendezvous in Anchor age. The Shamrocks hope to make that a home and home series, with the local squad travelling to Anchorage for a return engagement after the teams meet on the gym floor here.

Talking Declared Possible
Despite Loss Of Larynx
BY the Assoeioted Press

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. 25.-A person
can talk without larynx, or voice
box" DR.. Nathaniel M. Levin Of
Miami declared today.
A patient whose larynx must be
removed Because of cancer, DR..
Levin related, can be taught to
speak in four to six weeks by using
the esophagus-the passage in the
neck normally used only for swal-
lowing food.
We normally speak by forcing air
through the larynx - sometimes
called the Adams apple"-which
contains the vocal cords The larynx
is located in a second passage in
our necks-the one that leads to
the lungs
When the larynx has to be re-
moved because of malignancy, the
remaining part of the tube" to the
lungs-called the trachea-must be
secured to an opening in the neck
so the patient can breathe.
Independent Of this neck-breath-
ing. DR.. Levin declared, such pa
tients can be taught to swallow air
or pocket" it temporarily in he
esophagus-and then force 1t out of
the esophagus again in a technique
he called "esophageal speech"
DR.. Levin made the statements in
a scientific exhibit displayed for the
opening of the Southern Medical
Associations forty-second annual
meeting

Him in AHCrosh
BY the Assoeioted Press

PFUNGSTADT, Germany, Oct. Is.
Angelo La Sale of Des
Moines, Iowa, wants to give his car
to the German prisoner of war who
saved his life after an air crash
last January.
Sergt. La Sale, 20, was the sole
survivor of a Bit which crashed in
the French Alps January 80, while
searching for the wreckage of a
CAT which went down earlier. He
appealed to Stars and Stripes, the
Army newspaper, to help him find
Heinz Kupski. former Luftwaffe
pilot, who was the first to reach the
scene.
The sergeant told Stars and
Stripes he wants to give KupsN his
car and some food and wants Kup-
ski to serve as best man at his we'd
ding November 6.
The former airman was chopping
wood on the mountainside when the
plane crashed. He wrapped Sergt.
La Sale in a parachute and held
him in his arms until help arrived.
Nine men died in the crash. French
officials freed Kupski of his prisoner
of-war status five days later.
The onion was one of the earliest
plants cultivated and is believed to
be a native of Western Asia.
