When Worlds Collide Tonight Al 20ih Century

If the earth is doomed by an im- pending collision with a runaway star, can science save civilization? This is the question that film producer George Pal has pondered and answered in Paramount's
 When Worlds Collide" opening tonight at the goth Century The atre. Pals answer: Yes.
 Of course. not everyone will come out unscathed. There will be celes- tial fireworks such as earth folk and moviegoers-have never seen before. But a handful of lucky cit izens will escape on a space ship 0 transplant our civilization on mother planet.
 Fantastic? Not at all. Astron- omers admit the possibility of a straying star barging into the earth. They also believe that other planets can support human life. And the construction of space ships capable of blasting out of the earth's gravi- tational field and skimming through the solar system is not more than a few years away.
 Staging the Technicolor cata- clysm, not confirming it's likelihood, proved Pals thorniest problem. After months of research and con sultation with men who know their rockets best, 100 foot replica of space ship was constructed. More difficult was reproduction of the tidal waves and quakes that destroy the earth's cities just before the cosmic smash-up.
 After technical obstacles had been hurdled, top flight cast headed by Richard Derr, Barbara Rush and Peter Hanson began enacting the tense human drama of doomsday and a daring escape to a new world.

Benefits
Reach Peak

COLUMBUS. - Unemployed
workers eligible for benefits
under the Ohio Law drew $780,
698,271 in unemployment COM
pensation during 1850, Bureau
of Unemployment Compensation
Administrators Ernest Cornell
reported today.
Complete figures now avail
able show that the 1850 benefit
payments set an all-time high,
rising about one million dollars
above the 1949 figures. Last
years total, however, does not
reflect the month-by-month drop
in benefit payments which oc-
cured during eight months of
1850.
Benefit payments reached a
peak of $13,737, SIS in March
1850 and then dropped steadily
to a low of $1,929,646 in No
vember. The steady decrease
in unemployment benefits re-
hected in part the end of the
so-called 1949 inventory reces-
sion" and the gradual increase
in job opportunities resulting
from the growing defense pro-
duction program.
Dependency allowances, paid
to claimants with one or two
dependent children, amounted
to $4,003, SAT during 1850. Other
factors accounting for the rise in
the 1850 total included the 1949
changes in the law and the At
tOrney GeHeral's ruling which
applied the new provisions to
claimants whose benefit years
were established before Aug.
%, 1949.
Claims filed by newly unem-
ployed workers dropped 46 per
cent from 1949 to 524, ,729 last
year. Continued claims each
of which reflects week of un-
employment by an individual
dropped 81 per cent to 1924, 1877.

Columbus, the Ohio CIO said the
Presidents action made it "crys-
tai clear that this nation has no
intention of swerving from its
traditional opposition to military
determination of foreign and
domestic policy"
Historically the United States
has insisted upon the sound and
fundamental policy of suprem-
acy of the civilian over the mill
tary authority in determining
the political destinies of our ma
ton. By his action the President
has demonstrated sincere appre-
citation of this basic American
principle" the resolution said.
Charging that "nen more in

than in their nations welfare"

tive Board pledged it's whole

In other actions, the Execu-

President Philip Murray, other
CIO leaders and the United La
bor Policy Committee which has
been waging a Washington bat
tie to make the national mobil-
ization and stabilization program
equitable and effective and to
end the present initiation"
The Ohio CIO commended its
national leadership for point
ing up the fundamental weak
nesses and basic inequities of the
Defense Production Act of 1850
with its built-in special privilege
for Big Business"
big Business has no mono
poly on brains, patriotism or a
desire to serve its nation" the
CIO said in a statement follow
ing its meeting. "The workers,
farmers, professional men and
small businessmen of America
have much to offer this nation in
these critical hours. Until just
a few days ago, however, Big
Business alone decided the poll

Business has profited tremen-
dously.

The three months total was
$54, 1892, 1872, up % per cent over
the previous quarter and 241 per
cent over the March quarter OF
1850, it was stated.
"A noteworthy aspect of this
record is its achievement en-
tirely with regular products, "
MIR. Canaday observed. "Only
two pre- Gus quarters were
hig her - June, 1914, with
volume of $59,703,422 n d
September, 1914, with $55, ,504,-
9O2. But in these periods WHY'S
Overland was shipping shells,
aluminium and steel forgings and
numerous other military items
in addition TO Jeeps. Also its
plant was on a 48-hour week.
Current sa e S, in contrast,
are composed entirely of Jeeps,
station wagons, trucks, p a n l
deliveries, spare parts, and en-
gines, and castings produced for
other companies at the WHY'S
foundry subsidiary in Pontiac,
Mich.," he pointed out.
Military vehicles accounted
for less than fifth of the
March quarter volume ,and non
vehicular military sales are not
scheduled to begin until fall,
Mr.. Canaday said. "At that time
the company plans to finish a
100000 tooling program for
jet aircraft engine components
in a newly acquired plant at
Anderson, Ind.
Thus, civilian sales are still
by far the dominant feature of
the company's business and a
vital factor i'm maintaining en-
ployment in T ol do, since
WHY'S Overland is the city's
leading employer" Mr.. Cana
day declared. Optimism on this
score is engendered by mark
ed rise in orders for civilian
Jeeps during the March quarter,
and continuing strong demand
for the all-steel station wagon,
viii h Willys pioneered in
1916" |
The WHY'S executive indicated
that sales volume in the March |
quarter would have gone con-
siderably higher had not two
uncomfortable fac tors inter
fered with production. One was
the difficult materials situation
with respect to civilian products.
The other was the extreme |
cold weather of February which
caused several d ays of plant
down-time due to natural gas
shortage.

same hour the day before, knowing that Bill
was going to call for her and take her to dinner.
That day made the front pages all over the
country. 1t was generally agreed that some
thing mysterious was going on. Many papers
treated the matter loosely; others were more
serious. One Chicago editor commented that it
was quite likely subversive forces were at
work, that Communists were using an unusual
and ingenious device for communicating with
other Communists. Everybody agreed that
there should be an investigation - and there
was.
Connie knew nothing about these sensational
occurrences. She didn't care what happened in
or to the world and not reading newspapers was
one way of proving it.
The next day, when the Supervisor ques-
toned her as he questioned all the girls about
whether she remembered having typed quota
tions for Biscuit, she said she didn't. She
didn't remember anything at all about that
day, but she didn't say so.
She was quite surprised just at closing to
look up and see the Supervisor talking to Bill
1t seemed years since she had been able to feel
anything, but it was definitely remarkable
thing. She watched in numb detachment while
Bill and the Supervisor crossed to where she sat.
Bill said, This is the girl who did it." The
Supervisor looked at her wonderingly and
nodded to himself. Bill said, Personally,
think she should be fired. You can't have
things like that going on in the New York
Stock Exchange"
NO" the Supervisor said, "you certainly
can't" He shook his head as if life would never
hold another surprise mo =" he said to him.
SELF by God =" He walked away.
Bill looked at Connie for a long, thoughtful
moment; then he took her hand.

Fairfax Files Appeal
In Annexation Case

Fairfax County yesterday filed

nexation case, in which the city
was awarded rs square miles of
county land.
Filing of the appeal automati-

land from the county to the city

of Appeals decides the case
Alexandria was awarded the
territory by an annexation court
last fall, and the order was to be-
come effective January l. AL
though Fairfax attorneys at that
time indicated they would appeal,
no formal action had been taken
by January and Alexandria
moved into the territory.
Both Alexandria and Fairfax
claimed jurisdiction over the land
for nine days until the annexa-
ton court was reconvened and
suspended the order for 80 days.
The 30-day suspension expired
last midnight. but the appeal now
has the effect automatically sus-
pending the courts decision until
the higher court decides the case.

KiIey Gets 8 Years
In Mrs. Lee HoIdup

George w. Kiley, whose testi-
mony helped convict Joseph Lewis
Of armed robbery. yesterday was
sentenced in Arlington Circuit
Court to eight years in the Vir-
ginia Penitentiary.
Kiley had pleaded guilty to
having participated in the holdup
of Mrs. Marguerite Lee. wife of
Blight Lee, former gambler, last
March Is at her Arlington home.
He was the States principal
witness in the trial of Lewis, who
was sentenced to nine years in
the penitentiary for armed rob-
berry. Lewis has asked for a new
trial and has moved that a jury S
verdict be set aside.
Kiley was brought from the
Arlington County Jail for
sentencing. Earlier this week he
was jailed at hi own request
after having been free under bond
| Lewis plea for a new trial is
based largely on an affidavit taken
from Kiley last Saturday in which
| it is stated an alleged confession
was forced from him by threats
and promises of leniency from Law
enforcement officials.
Kiley's attorney, Hugh c. Creig-
or, yesterday asked the court tc
suspend sentence and Judge Will
liam D. Medley took the request
under advisement. Kiley said in
his affidavit last week that he
needs psychiatric treatment.
