NOTES

HOLLYWOOD R = Gene Autry,
who has made a fortune as a
grooming cowpoke, is having a
loud last laugh at the people who
yowled when he went into tele.
vision films.
Aatry. long a fayorite at the
movie turnstile, drew strong pro-
tests from theater men when he
decided to follow Hopalong Cassidy
into the TV market. His critics
predicted he would ruin himself
with the film houses.
But the cowboys popularity In
the theaters doesn't seem to have
diminished. He is currently finn
ing winning the West" one OF
six features he plans to make this
year. He figures his audience has
greatly increased because of Tv.
'I'm getting a lot more mail
from the big cities like Los An
geles and New York" he COM
mented. 81 never had much of a
following in the big towns. be-
cause my pictures never got much
Of a play there. But now the big
city kids see me on TV."
Incidentally, since television, his
mail Is q lot harder to read. since
it now comes from a younger au-
dience.
II don't know whether my pic
lures are getting better play in
big city theaters." he added. but
/ saw one indication that they
might. Recently. q first run thea

ondary role, but the ads billed
him as the star of the Range
Riders Tv series. which my out

Autry said candidly that movie
Westerns are in q slump.
"There have been too many big
budget Westerns with stars like
Clark Gable, Gregory Peck, John
Wayne and Kirk Douglas, he OBJ
served. Naturally. this cuts into
the playing time Of the program
Westerns.
But the program Western field
is better now. because it has
thinned out. Roy Rogers isn't max

Autry offered an interesting
geographical sidelight. He said TIE

By SUSAN McAvoY

Why don't we move to H

men asked yesterday after an lou
successful battle with shark, an
Two hours sport chasing and catcl

/ The Californians, DR.. Nelsol
Mathison and Mel Fisher, came tc
Key West solely to 60 under its

Yesterday they caught their third
Jewish in two days.
'In California we might catch
one a year." Mel Fisher, a tall
young man who owns a chicken
ranch said.
He and DR.. Mathison are part OF
Southern California's $4,000 spear
fishermen. They have fished for
ten years not only off their state
but off Acapulco. Mexico, and
all along the coast.
"But we've never seen anything
like this" Mathison said.
The shark battle was the days
most exciting chase. Mel and Ed.
die Ciesinski who took the men out
in his IS foot open boat, went out
to look for a shark that Mel tould
photograph with his underwater
movie camera.
l stayed aboard looking uneaSily
at the huge Jewish hanging over
the side of the boat, its blood drip
ping into the blue waters as a bait
for shark.
Suddenly the men shouted
Shark. Mel fired a spear intC
the shark with his coz gas CUR
lashed to his camera. Simultane
, ously he took picture of The
shark, which he had been photo
graphing as he swan behind it.
The spear hit the shark but i
did not go through its tough, rough
hide. The men kept control of i
by the cable attached to Mel,
gun. They led the flashing, swish
ing creature over to the boat
where it swan furiusly along sidt
the boat. II made a pass at Eddie
who cleared out of its way, bu
then chased it under his glass bot
tom so doc" Mathison could take
movies of it.

Soon they were 300 or more yards

NOTRE DAME, Ind.-(NC) - A
Conference on Secular Institutes, a
relatively new form of life in the
Catholic Church, will be held JAN

Notre Dame.
Purpose of the conference is to
provide information ana to found
interest regarding the Secular In
stitutes, which had their beginning
only in the last century and which
received Papal approval only in
1947.
Members dedicate themselves TO
evangelical perfection by the three
vows of poverty, chastity and obed-

late. They are distinguished from

League Leading Rosary, Marion
Battle For Top Berth Tonight

The two undefeated giants of the
Central Catholic League, Columbus
Rosary and Marion st. Mary's, col
lide tonight at Marion in the game
of the season for both teams.
With st. Charles seemingly out
of the title picture after last weeks
stunning loss to the Crusaders that
leaves the door open for either
Rosary or Marion.
Despite Rosary's all-victorious
league record, the Marion Irish will
rule a slight favorite entering the
fray because they have yet to taste
defeat in or out of league competi-
tion.
Whichever team wins will prob
ably have clear sailing to the Gel
crown. Only if Marion we're to win
and then suffer defeat by st. Char
les that game is Feb. u could the
picture become clouded.
If Rosary can vault past Marion
II should have no trouble with its
remaining CCL opponents.
