LAUNDRY IN BASEMENT.


From Mrs. w. w. p, College Park
I have not seen an answer to
the lady who was needing help
i npreventing her laundry from
acquiring an odor when hung in
the basement.
We keep a good size fan (about
IL or 13 incheS) in the basement
and turn that on the clothes as
soon as they are up. The clothes
dry quickly and are much softer
than if just allowed to hang there.
We started this practice to keep
so much moisture from accumu-
lating in the house.

JAPAN.


(From Mrs. H. J. M, Washington
Mrs. H. A. NICK, Falls Church
I hope going to Japan will be
the wonderful experience for you
that it was for me. We have beer
returned a little less than two
years and you may receive more
recent data than mine but
should like to at least start you
on a good sendoff. I shall cover
the points briefly and you might
write me through the RICH if you
desire more detailed account
The climate is quite similar tc
the climate here. Stacks are good
for the ship. though not for din
ner. For dinner you should have
suits or dresses. There is always
good entertainment and plenty
of activity for all aboard ship
Two types of housing were avail
able. japanese houses or quar-
ters in "stateside housing units
have everything furnished in
Guiding bedcovers and linens. A
good mattress is not always guar
anteed though. We chose Japa-
nese housing for they are lovely
and you are more aware of the
foreign land.
Schools are excellent. Buses
pick up the children in japanese
houses or on the base. The PIX
did have excellent supply al.
though it may not be quite a:
adequate due to shipping. The
commissary was good and fresh
vegetables were to be had.
hope this information is ade-
quate. It would take a book tt
tell you all the delight-and 8

that Is in store for you.

Film Plots
Are Close
To the News
By Harold Heffernon
HOLLYWOOD.

Movie-makers in recent years
have scored remarkable triumphs
in keeping picture plots paced to
big newspaper headlines of the
day. At the present moment they
are chalking up coincidental beats
unparalleled in screen history.
Producer Stanley Kramer was
the luckiest of all the sharp
shooters His my Six Convicts"
features an attempted jail break,
while 'The Sniper" hews closely
to the murderous path trod by
the phantom Los Angeles gunman.
The night before the nationally
televised Nevada atomic blast,
Paramount rushed through it's
press preview of "The Atomic
City," and the picture was ready
for release the next day. Its plot
unfolds in the experimental site
of Los Angeles. N. NJ, deals with
spies. stolen formulas and a kid
naping-and for a finale serves
up a tremendous atomic explosion,
unseen, but heard as a mighty roar
in the background.
The most amazing news parallel
of all was the crash of plane
in the Caribbean to coincide with
the National opening date Of the
Goth Century-Fox movie, with a
Song in My Heart" This is the
story of Jane Frohman's fight
back from invalidism after a SIM
liar plane tragedy several years
ago. She married the pilot who
saved her life, and it was he who
was injured while flying the craft
that fell, even as folks were
swarming into theaters to see
with a Song in My Heart"

Missouri, Fox executives are seri-
ously thinking Of reviving their

The Cast
Evening star., 1952-04-28

Of Eugene Leontovitch as a dis
placed Russian actress and Mix
hail Rasummy as a retired Russian
seaman. The latter's effort to
navigate to California by compass
Is one of the pictures richest bits.
Others who make the Dupont
Aim happier are Oscar Karlweiss
as an elderly immigrant who keeps
a directory Of Georgians in Amer
lea and Oscar Beregi who would
like to be the first miser to make
an art of miserliness.
The Hollywood touch intrudes
upon the Georgian flavor Of "Any-
thing Can Happen" but not too
greatly to its disadvantage as a
piece Of good cheer. The film
rather remarkably suggests that
the proper way to evaluate life
here is on the scale used by George
Papashvily and Helen. the Ameri-
can girl he married.

Police Probe Chance
That Brink S Robber
Had an AccompIice

Detectives are investigating the
possibility that Ray E. Farmer, 26,
who confessed to the $65 900
Drinks armored car robbery. had
an accomplice, although they in
dicate it is not likely.
Police discount a published re-
port that Farmer was forced to
pull the August Is robbery at the
Wardman Park Hotel because Of
threats to his children.
The department believes there
is a chance that Farmer, who
lived in the 1900 block of M street
NE, may have been slipped the
keys several days before taking
the money from the truck while
it's guards were eating lunch.
Different Stories Cited
Farmer, it was learned, has told
la number of different stories fol-
lowing his original confession, in
cluGing the tale of being threats
ened, but detectives have not cor
roborated more than one. That
was his eventual confession to
having left the key on the parking
lot Of the downtown bakery where
he worked.
Farmer, once a Drinks employe
was fired in 1949 after he loaned
his uniform to a member of the
Pimply Faced Gang which was
rounded up shortly afterwards.
In investigation by The Star
revealed shortly after the robbery
that Farmer had been friendly
with Drinks employees ever since
he was fred. Only a few months
ago, Farmer attended a party
where a number Of company men
were guests. He regularly ate
breakfast with Drinks workers at
IA Sixth street restaurant and oc-
casionally chatted with the men in
front Of the company Office.
Murray Solved Case.
Detectives have been investi-
eating the case. even though Po-
lice Chief Robert v. Murray said

the department had closed the
case.

Police officials surmise that if
Farmer did have an accomplice it
was a friendly one who made no
threats; that such an accomplice
could merely have passed dupli-
cate key to the confessed robber,
Originally, Farmer stated he kept
the key after he was fred. but
Is reported to have changed his
story, saying he got it several days
before the robbery.
Detectives base their doubt that
he had an accomplice on the fact
that most criminals would insist
on immediate division of the loot,

in his own possession. The money
was found buried in the woods
near Glen Echo.

margin then was a record 5000

Senator. The biggest vote was
$4,000 in 1886. Mr.. Sawyer said,
however, that local issues, rather
than State or nation, would bring
out many voters.
