Caterpi|Iars Drive Game
From Michigan Woods

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich,
June 9.-Caterpillars are driving
wild-life out of upper peninsula
woods.
This latest report on the cater
pillar invasion came today from
DR.. A. H. Goldberg, a 500 physi-
clan who accompanied an ambu-
lance down to Detour to pick up
an i'll Great Lakes sailor.
DR.. Goldberg said the attempt
to speed the ambulance back to
the 500 was thwarted by animals
all over the roads. Many times,
he said, the ambulance was forced
to slow or stop to avoid running
down deer, rabbits, porcupines and
other animals.
The animals, he said, obviously
took to the highways because
caterpillars were dropping like
rain" from every tree.

Mr.. Loeb said "Mr. Acheson

"Acheson's dark and veileC

FbI and Air Force
Seek Cause Of Crashes
OF Eight JET Planes
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

RICHMOND, Ind, June 9.-Air
Force and FBI experts today tried
to determine whether sabotage, q
thunderstorm, mechanical trouble,
or human errors caused the Ma
tion's worst jet plane crash.
Eight fast-hying F-84 Thunder
jets. racing at 500 miles an hour
across the Indiana Ohio border
in a group of II jet planes. sud-
denly fioundered and Topped to
earth yesterday from stormy skies.
Three pilots were killed. two
were injured, and three others
escaped unhurt in the mysterious
mass crash. Two of the unhurt
pilots rode the sleek planes down
and a third parachuted.
Among theories studied was
one that wrong" fuel was used.
Wasn't the Weather.
Before investigators sealed their
lips, one surviving pilot told news
men the crash cause wasn't the
weather" Another said the jet
power unit of his plane exploded
as his craft streaked 1900 feet
above Richmond.
The possibility of sabotage was
investigated by Federal men. But
an Indiana State Police lieu
tenant, a World War II flyer, said
''the sabotage theory is far
fetched"
Police 1t. Earl Smith said that
If it were sabotage he could not
understand how all the mishaps
could have happened isimultane-
ously.
1t. Smith and a Pentagon source
In Washington ruled out weather
as a factor although lightning
cracked in the skies at the time.
20 Minutes Out of Dayton.
The Pentagon also said exhaus-
ton of fuel did not seem to be in
volved. The planes were only 20
minutes out of Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base. Dayton, Ohio, en-
route to Selfridge Field, Mt. Gle
mems, Mich.
The possibility that the eight
planes had been fueled from the
same tank with improper fuel at
the Ohio base was being inves-
tigated. The jets use a special
fuel mixture involving kerosene.
It was generally agreed that
none of the planes collided IN the
air. And 1t. Smith said one pilot
told him an aerial explosion Of
one Of the planes probably would
not have downed another plane.
Witnesses Say Maneuvers.
State police, however, said wit
nesses reported seeing planes
Stimulating combat maneuvers, +"
as if in a dog fight. This led to
speculation on whether distress
signal from one plane might have
led others to break formation and
possibly seek emergency landings.
Robert Croft, a Richmond tele-
phone lineman, said he saw what
looked like "dogfight." He said:
Several planes went into a
cloud bank just as lightning
creased the sky. A moment later
there was an explosion"
The planes were from a second
flight formation of "a, based at
Bergstrom Air Force Base, Austin,

Alfred Noyes' poem, THE High
wayman," now has inspired a
tolerable motion picture, which
bears the same name and which
you will find at the Ontario. In
spired, perhaps, is not quite the
proper word, since this adventure
in old England is no evidence that
Monogram, the producing studio,
is prepared to run Metro Gold
wyn-Mayer off the premises.
It's a little too pedestrian for
that, but you shouldn't find it
painful, at least if your appetite
for derring-do is Unsuitable.
Monogram at least knows the
merit Of keeping the horses at full
gallop when nothing else is hap
pening and of abetting the horses
with a galloping musical score.
This action is all imprinted in
Cinecolor, too, which is pleasant
enough to look at even If it doesn' t
resemble anything you ever saw
before, except maybe another
movie in Cinecolor.
The cast of ''The Highwayman"
is officially headed by Wanda Hen
dirk and Charles Coburn, but be-
yond them you will find largely
that Monogram actors have new
faces If you have been doing your
movie going on F street. Victor
Jory is on hand, of course, but
any film has to have a villain.
The title role is played by Philip
Friend. who does passably we'll

such a dashing figure that you

Thornton Wilder is rated as every
bit as good a teacher as he Is a
novelist and playwright. However
not until Ruth Gordon started
telling her favorite current story
did every one realize how really
good Teacher Wilder is.
Miss Gordon, it seems, is writ
ing her first novel, a story on
which Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Is
casting covetous eyes. Asked how
she learned to write novel. Miss
Gordon says: "By lunching with
Thornton Wilder"
The luncheon lasted IS minutes
and at the end Of it, Miss Cor
don had her formula for writing
the novel.

close to the most banal thing you
ever saw.
In justice to Universal Inter-
national Pictures, it probably
never intended that this produc-
tion should turn up in a metro
politan movie house. 1t was made,
more than likely, to be shown in
all-night theaters where the GUS
toners ask only darkness and the
right not to be disturbed.
Howard Duff and Mona Free
man are listed at the top of the
cast of THE Lady From Texas, -
but this is just a Hollywood tribal
custom. Neither of them acts
what seems to be the principal
role in this banal little fiction
which required the energies of
three writer's.
1t is Miss Hull, of all actresses.
who seems to be the one referred
to in the title. She is an elderly
lady who shares a dilapidated
ranch with a few humble farm
animals, and trained skunk. She
not only talks to these compan-
ions, but what she talks about is
husband who has been dead for
rs years, although she pretends
otherwise.
No one presumably would take
advantage of such a helpless old
innocent, not even movie studio,
but this is not the case. There
are varmints on the next ranch
and they are trying to finesse the
dear old lady out of her land. They
would do it, too, if it were not for
poor, embarrassed Actor Duff and
Miss Freeman. They are decent,
these two, and are willing finally
to get married just to provide a
home for the helpless Miss Hull.
That this home is going to be on
HER ranch does not modify the
nobility of their intentions as the
script goes in THE Lady From
Texas"
The single dramatic quality of
the film is in watching the actors
try to keep from falling through
the story into the oblivion reserved
for those who do not read the
small print in their contracts.
