"UNC0NQUERED" t5 BIG SPECTACLE

Cecil B. DeMille, who has been making outlandishly lavish motion pictmes from time to time, has done 1t again. This time it is "Unconquer- ed which is at the 20th Century Theatre on roadshcw basis.
 DeMille has taken what amounts 10 an obvious, customary melodrama of the Western type, dressed it up with an endless cast of scresn capab- les, topped by a couple of favorites, Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard, and mace everything a treat to the eyes with well-chosen backgrounds in Technicolor.
 But the highlight of "unconquer- ed' is the way evernthing is graph ic1lly, impressively done. He goes all out for thrills; when he has the hero mad heroine escape the Indians in Q canoe chase on a mountain riv-r, he has them not only shoot the rapids but go over a waterfall 40 feet high. When Paulette is being tortured by the redskins her screams made you actually suffer

pAULEY AND STASSEN IN
 BIG FIGHT
Charge of "FaIsehoods' Made Against Aspirant
 for Presidency

WASHINGTON, Jan. S5.-tH- Edwin W. Pauley leveled finger at Harcld E. Stassen at a Senate hearing today and accused him of "falsehoods.
 Stassen told a Senate Appropria- tions subcommittee inquiring into Pauleys trading that Pauley took advantage of an off the cuff" talk by Anderson on Sept. 19 in which Anderson said that grain prices were not realistic.
 These statements, which of course, were not correct, caused a temporary drop .in grain prices, 7 Stassen said.
 He made the statement only a few minutes after Pauley pointed a finger at Stassen and demand ed that the Republican Presidential aspirant be required to confront him right here, face to face, on the falsehoods he has told about me"
 Since last September, Pauley has been special assistant to Secre- tary cf the Army Royal. He has acknowledged making nearly a million dollars profits by specula- tion on commodities in the last three years.
 The Senate committee called both men before it, but has ruled that Pauley may not question Stassen directly. It will allow him to sub init in writing later questions to be asked Stassen.

Cancer Kills Doctor Who
Devised Test for Disease

OMAHA, NEB.-Dr. Albert M.
Harris, 35, who developed a simple
and inexpensive test for discovering
cancer, died of the disease without
knowing his own body had given a
positive reaction to the test.
When the test was announced in
the South Dakota Journal of Medi-
cine and Pharmacy, Harris was
suffering from a malignant brain
tumor.
A month before his death, Harris
used the test on himself. The result
was negative. However, when he be-
came i'll and was admitted to Sioux
Valley hospital at Sioux Falls, where
he practiced, the test was made
again. This time it was positive,
indicating the possibility of cancer.
Associates said Harris never in
quired about outcome of the test
and died without knowing it had
proved successful in his WI body.

Mine Fires
Rage Unchecked
Underground BIazes Cause
Immense Waste of
Fuel Supply

Observation-Disclosures of tons
of coal are being burned up in the
United States in vast, uncontrolled
underground fires.
Daniel Harrington, chief of the
health and safety branch of the bu-
reau of mines, estimates that under
the-earth fires now are burning in
probably several hundred of the
1000 coal mines in the country.
Some have been ravaging coal
beds for years. Two of the biggest
started more than so years ago-at
New Straitsville, Ohio, near Column
bus, and at South Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
The Ohio fire, burning since 1884,
has destroyed more than fifty mil
lion dollars worth of coal, accord
ing to several estimates.
Burns for so Years
S. H. Ash, chief of the safety di-
vision, says that the Pennsylvania
anthracite fire has been burning un
checked for so years or more and
has "cost millions"
Scores of other blazes, resulting
from such widely varied causes as
explosions, lightning or forest fires
that have ignited a surface vein,
have begun since the turn of the
century and still are burning merrily
away, unnoticed in many instances
on the surface. Some, Harrington
says, resulted from spontaneous
combustion.
Certain of the fires go back sew
eral hundred years. Harrington
notes one at Somerset, Colo, which
belches steam and smoke in winter
through a hill named Fire mountain
by the Indians a long time ago.
This n may be good for another
thousand years or so, he estimated.
Attempts to extinguish such fires
are extremely difficult.
Hard To Extinguish
Although no estimates are avail
able concerning the amount of coal
consumed by these great fires, Har-
rington hazards a rough guess of
one million tons annually.
Harrington notes, however, that
this compares to an estimated pro-
duction in 1947 of 615, 000, 900 tons
and adds that there is enough coal
in the United States to keep this
country going for a thousand years"

Its press release carried detailed secrets Of plan for put ting atomic warheads into the noses of Va rockets. This caused the Atomic Energy Commission to hit the ceiling and most copies were withdrawn However, three copies could not be located and still are on the loose . No newspaper printed the atomic secrets.
