Maids Night Out
BY RAYMER

THE Steel Trap" at San Car.
los Theatre.
The trap is the safe in a bank
vault, the bait is one million dol
lars, and the prey is the mind of
a man tired of doing the same
things every day. He has a neat
coy suburban home, a cozier wife,
and small daughter. He is assist
ant manager in local bank and
has worked himself up to that po-
Sition from teller and cashier. But
an obsession possesses him when
he thinks of all the money which
is within reach just by the twist
of safe dial which combination
he knows.
So he begins making plans to
make the haul and get away to
Brazil, selected because there are
no extradition laws Chats a handy
fact to know, huh?). The trouble
is, there's a time limit He has
to get the passports, the loot, and
plane connections all late Friday
afternoon when the bank closes to
be in Rio before Monday morning
when the bank would open and the
loss be discovered. He excuses his
dishonesty on the grounds that the
money is covered by insurance and
besides, he's just plain tired of be-
ing plain tired of the daily grind.
Joseph Cotton does a nice lob
of the harried man, and the nara
ton background, but Teresa
Wright, now blonde, and rather
shopworn doesn't seem just right
for her role as the wife. When she
discovers in New Orleans, where
the getaway is delayed, that her
husband is thief, she heads for
the home range, leaving him to
think over the dire results of a life
which would be a hunted one with
loss Of loved ones, country and
Sef-respect.
The suspense Of the picture lies
in the little details which James
Osborne, the thief, has to take care
of before he can carry out the
scheme. The picture is not flaw
less by any means. but it holds in
terest. The ending. see for your
self.

the shipping industry an estimated
100 million dollars a year in LOST
time and drydock charges.
The sight of the Lawson's
smooth hull was no surprise to
Robert D. Spiers, a ss-year-old
st. Petersburg, Fla, chemist, but
it gave him a great feeling, /"
nevertheless.
To Spiers, it was proof that an
anti-fouling compound he devel.
oped really works. The compound,
known as Dianol, was mixed with
the paint that was applied to the
Lawson's hull Jan. 81, 1852.
When the Lawson was raised out
of the water here yesterday, the
only barnacles on her hull were
in patches along the keel, where
blocks that held the ship in place
last year kept the painters from
getting at the surface.
Il believe" SpierS said, ''that
this is the first time a commercial
vessel has been able to stay in
barnacle-infested waters over a
year without developing a severe
growth of fouling organisms"
The master of the Lawson, Capt.
Andrew Vasaka, said the log of
the freighter would show no speed
loss or increased fuel consumption
toward the end of her year afloat.
Usually toward the end of a year,
he said, barnacle formations cut
ia to 3 knots off a ships speed
and send oil consumption up.
The compound is a mixture of
organic chemicals in powder form
and mixes easily with any regular
paint. 1t remains in suspension in
the paint and is effective as long
as the paint lasts.
Spiers said it paralyzes the
nerves of the barnaeles or any
other cold-blooded organisms that
attach themselves to the ships
bottom. They die and fall off.

TWELVE YEARS AGO, on December 7,
l94l. thousands of Americans died on Oahu
island, Hawaii, when japanese planes and
submarines smashed Pearl Harbor in a sneak
attack that catapulted the US into World
War II. What has happened since makes it

Speaking of age, we recall the dilemma ex-

cornered her host and babbled, who is that
old lady chattering over there in the corner?"

Music, for example, is my ifes work but it
offers to anyone beauty and release into
temporary world of your own imagination, from
which you can return refreshed mentally and
spiritually. But first, you must stop and listen
to music It's "a wonderful tonic, free to any man
and as old as man himself but it won't work to
relax you - to soothe you - if you're in too
great hurry
PRAYERS, too, cannot be offered in hurry. The

knelt to pray and for that moment, everything
stopped - had to stop because to pray one
must actually separate oneself from the world
around him. For those moments in prayer, you're
timeless - released completely from the pres
sures and the excitements around you.
One must stop to listen to music One must
stop to pray. One must stop to understand the
great lift all such moments hold for each one of
u.s. And the reward for such pauses is peace
of mind and heart that can change an entire
world, just as it has many times before.

STOCKTON, Calf. Nov. 14(JA-
CL)-Two draft amendments to
clarity the law and expedite the e.
vacuation claims program were u
unanimously approved by Issei and
Nisei delegates to the biennial Nor
thern California Western Nevada
District Council Convention of the
Japanese American Citizens League
that met here last weekend
In addition, resolution of appre-
citation to all who have donated to
the National JACL Endowment
Fund was also unanimously adopted
by the delegates from the % JACL
chapters in attendance. The reso-
luton invited all recipients of go
vernment evacuation claims checks
who have not done so to contribute
to the Endowment Fund in order
that the general welfare of persons
of Japanese ancestry in the United
States can be promoted through the
JACL
The draft amendments to the E.
vacuation Claims Law provide that
claims postmarked before the dead
line shall be considered to be time
w filed and that all of the remain
ing claimants shall have the choice
of compromise settlement proce-
dure or a judicial Court of Claims

claims
Mike Masaoka Washington JACL
representative. explained the pro-
posed amendments
The clarifying amendment pro-
vides that ANY claim received by
| the Attorney General bearing a
postmark prior to midnight. Jan. 3
| 1850 shall be considered to be time
| ly filed within the said eighteen
months deadline specifically sci
forth in the statute. The Depart
ment OF Justice has ruled IN an ad-
verse adjudication that only claims
actually received by the Attorney
General in Washington or his vari-
Gus United States attorneys in the
field before midnight, Jan. 8, 1850
shall be considered as timely flee
for adjudication purposes. The de-
partment has, therefore, dismissed
all claims received after that ba
ldate on the ground that it was no

deadline.
