FIRST ALBiN0 SEALS | IN CAPTIVITY HERE
 FROM pRIBIL0FS

Two baby albino seals, first, of such to be brought into captivity, received priority attention this morning when brought off the good ship Penguin, Fish and Wildlife Service craft, which docked here from the Westward this morning at o'clock. The three -month-old seals, one pure albino and one half albino captured on St. Paul Island in | e -r.rilof group, will go by air express to their new home in the San Dlego FOG, California.
 Although only babies, they were in a fighting mood when Dr. K w. Kenyon, U. s. Wildlife biologist, at tempted to change their cage at the wharf this morning. They snarled and snapped at the biologists hands as he reached for their flippers to lift them from the FOX in which they travelled aboard the Penguin.
 Kenyon, who has been working on the Pribilof island seal herd for two years, said they were captured sev- eral weeks ago after months of search for similar specimens.
 "They were still nursing when we caught tEem and were full of milk" the biologist said. but when they got hungry we fed them hali- but meat"
 Rarity of the specimens is exem- plified by Kenyon's statement that only one out of half million seals is born albino. The pure albino brought in by the biologist has soft yellow colored fur and the. charac- teristic pink eyes. The half albino seems the more spirited of the two and is colored dove gray with brown eyes.
 The seals are United States prop -rty Kenyon sad, and go as a loan to the San Diego zoo.
 Dr. Victor B. Scheffer of the U. S. Wlldlife Service, heads the seal herd investigations in the West ward, Kenyon said
 The Penguin, explained hy Dan Drotning, returns from a months trip to the Pribilofs and will leave for Seattle tonight, stopping at , Petersburg.

| One of the unique picture-making
outfits operating in this heartless,
gold hunting town of Hollywood is
that controlled by the veteran pro-
ducer- director, John Ford. 1t is
founded, to a large extent, on senti-
ment, loyalty and affection. And,
oddly enough. din a business where
jealousy, deceit and double-dealing
seem to thrive. those niceties have
paid off handsomely for Ford.
John Ford has been making pic
tures-good ones and great ones
for 20 years or more, and during
that time he has assembled band
of actors and technicians who al
ways are standing by waiting for
him to make his next start. They'd
sacrifice any other job, even at
greater pay to join up with their old
pal. And the feeling is mutual. Any
one who ever has worked for Ford
and delivered satisfactory job is
welcome, even urged, to come back
for more.
The people Ford and his new Ar
COSY company use constantly are
motley, well-fed crew of thespians
and workers who have come to be
known throughout the business as
"the John Ford Stock Company.
Heading the Ford Durables is
John Wayne. He has starred In
Jacks last two pictures, Fort
Apache" and THE Three Godfath-
ers," the latter now shooting. Wayne
was playing football 20 years ago
for the University of Southern Cali
fornia. Ford gave him a job as
truck driver, prop boy and general
roustabout.
"Any Time" Fonda.
One day, while filming picture
about submarines, Ford motioned
for Wayne to jump into the ocean
as substitute for a stunt man who
suddenly had lost his nerve. Wayne
did the leap and finally landed, 10
years later, as star of Ford's unfor-
getable "Stagecoach." You know the
rest. Even though he is making his
own independent films today,
Wayne comes running any time
Ford starts feature.

the Ford first string is Henry Fonda,

"Mr. Roberts" Fonda has appeared
in seven Ford films and in two of
the producers last three. Despite
his sensational stage success, Fonda
is quoted as saying recently that
he would leave the show ANY time
Jack wants me-" This is compatible
with Fonda's past practice of taking
Ford role without asking to see
the script.
One Of the steadiest pluggers in
the informal Ford firm is Ward
Bond. Ward has been in 81 Ford
pictures since prop boy Wayne got
him his first job as an extra. -Four
years ago Bond was injured by an
automobile, and for period of sew
eral months physicians despaired of
saving his leg. He Immediately was
taken off salary by his own studio.
Ford heard about 1t, demanded
him for a role in 'tThey Were Ex-
pendable," being made on the same
lot, got him and started his salary
checks rolling again. He worked
with a cast on one leg up to his
hip.
