larity from now on can count him.
self miracle man, no less. In the
meantime, M-G-M can happily
count the boxoffice returns on
THE Great Caruso" with the
confidence of a prospector who
has struck it enormously rich.
AS recall of the triumphant
career of the century's most color
full singer, THE Great Caruso"
may be merely faint brushing
over of the highlights Of his life.
It's producers make no larger claim
for it. indeed, stressing that the
script was suggested" by Dorothy
Benjamin's biography Of her hus-
band. This is all rather beside the
point; the point being that Caruso
was an electrifying human and
that this echo of him is a lyrically
lavish thing.
What Producer Joseph Pasternak
and his associates have done is
the basically simple thing. Assum-
ing they have a singer not unlike
Caruso, they have cut him loose
on a gigantic album of the masters
music. A total of q songs is in
jected into the rich Technicolor
scene, most of them operate and
all of them sung with a relish that
is irresistible.
Half a dozen notable artists as
siSt LAMA in this stirring celluloid
music festival, most notably Dor
othy Kristen who is a dramatic
asset as well as a vocal one to
'The Great CaruSo."
A gayer romp in the richest
musical field is inconceivable, es-
pecially in times likes these.
Sonya Levien and William Lud-
wig kept four sharp eyes on movie
musical formula In writing the
script for the Palace picture. The
sentimental and the romantic in
Caruso's career were their major
concerns in providing the film
with it's light story underpinning.
What they are saying primarily
Is that he was gifted and tenn
pestuous fellow, which no one will
dispute. and that his romance with
Dorothy Benjamin (Ann Blyth)
was idyllic material for movie.
Within this lightly marked mar
rative lane, LAMA gives the i'm
preston of lusty peasant genius
who convinced every one that
music was the happiest thing in
the world. 1t is his picture as
Caruso's life was Caruso's life. He
sings it with contagious enthusi-
asm that must in some respects
resemble that of the master. And

SEALER NORSEL. Dec. II CDe-
layed) (NANA) We crossed the
Antarctic Circle last night in
beautiful weather. The red sun
sank below the horizon at II pm.
and cleaned again over the ice
fakes two hours later.
We have shot many sea leop-
ards, Weddell seals, crabeater
seals and Ross seals, but have
let the penguins go in peace.
Every day we have excellent ra-
dio contact with Maudheim; all
is well there.
Sledge parties also have been
reached by radio and We are look
ing forward to a reunion at Maud
helm. 1t still is impossible to
say exactly when we will arrive.
We are making good headway
through the pack ice, surprisingly
much better than we had ex-
pected after meeting ice more
than 600 nautical miles farther
north than usual. Even here. at
66 degrees. the ice flakes are
cleaning in the sunshine almost
all around the horizon, but yield
space as we force through our
way.
Surprisingly often we find open
leads, but now and then Norsel
has to use all her roaring horse
power, and the noise is like heavy
artillery fire when the strong hull
presses down on the ice. So far
we have had no long delays from
the ice, but are zig-zagging to-
ward our goal, Maudheim.

Ruling Asked on Loan
|For Fairfax Schools
Pending Bond Sale

Attorney General j. Lindsay AL
mond, jr.. of Virginia has been
asked to rule whether Fairfax
County may borrow from the State
teachers retirement fund while a
sos million school construction
bond issue is tied up in litigation.
School Board members reported
at their meeting yesterday that
the question was referred to Mr.
Almond after a county delegation
conferred with Gov. Battle De-
cember 20.
Richard Stands, one board
member in the delegation, said
there is only dim hope that the
county can tap the retirement
fund for help, but added that
every possibility should be investi-
gated as long as sale of the con-
struction bonds is delayed.
Bond Sale Blocked Twice.
County voters approved a $1O.5
million bond issue for school con-
struction in a referendum last
spring, but sale of the bonds twice
was blocked by court suits.
Meanwhile, it was announced
that Judge Josiah Jordan Temple
of Prince George County has been
designated by the Virginia Su-
preme Court of Appeals to hear
the suit against the school bonds
on January 18 at Fairfax Circuit
Court. Judge Paul Brown of
Fairfax Circuit Court disqualified
himself because he is a county
taxpayer.
The suit against the bonds was
brought by Paul Rhinehart, jr.,
of Vienna. He questions their
validity principally because Alex
andria annexed a part of the
county after voters approved the
bonds.
Higher Salaries Urged.
The school board yesterday re-
ceived recommendation from
the Fairfax Education Associa-
ton for higher teacher salary
scales for the 1851 so session be-
ginning next fall. The proposed
scale would range from $2,4 400 to
$4,000 after Is years service. The
present scale runs from $4,000 to
$4,000 after II years.
The association also recon-
mended that a special salary
schedule be set up for teachers
who sponsor activities that re-
quire them to devote extra time
beyond routine duties.

HyattsviI|e Approves
Street Improvements

Hyattsville's City Council last
night approved a street improve
ments bill for presentation to the
General Assembly now in session
at Annapolis.
City Attorney Nicholas Orem,
jr.. who drafted the bill, said he
also would prepare legislation that
would enable the city to add to
its boundaries the area bounded
by Thirty-seventh place, Hamilton
street, Queens Chapel road and
the Northwest Branch.
Under provisions of the street
improvements bill, the city would
be authorized to exempt from as
sessment up to so feet, for i'm
provements abutting corner lots,
where the owner already has paid
the full assessment on his front
or side line property. The cost
of the exemption would be paid
for by the other property owners
involved in the project.
The city would be empowered
to improve alleys where this is
sought by more than so per cent
OF the property owners.
Authority would be given the
municipality to install storm
in streets regardless CT
whether the streets are improved,
The bill also would enable the
city to pave certain streets, in
cluding those not more than cne
block distant from Baltimore
avenue, without the consent of
the property owners. However.
the cost could be charged against
the owners.
The Council decided to apply to
