AQUANTICO. Va. Jan. 5.-The
Marines looked for flying saucers
last night and saw weather bal
looms, airplane lights and stars.
Intelligence officers. armed
with high-powered night binoc-
ularS. scanned the skies above
the Marine base for three hours.
They were there because for the
past five nights sentries reported
seeing strange lights in the sky.
The verdict: The sentries had
indeed seen something strange
to them, but 1t was merely re-
Gently installed powerful anti
collision lights on commercial
aircraft.
Today. the sentries were to be
briefed on the latest develop
ments in night flying.

spotted the oddity first, That was
on December 80 at 9s05 pm.
'It looked like a big, flashing
red light" Pvt. yietz said. Il
would have thought it was an
airplane. but couldn't hear any
motor noise"
Called for Sergeant.
He called for Sergt. Francis
r. Salinder. the sergeant of the
guard. and together they
watched the lights.
1T just looked like a big red
light to me-" Sergt. Salinder
said.
The next three nights. Pfc
Harrison j. Bennett. another
sentry. saw the strange objects.
And, oddly. he saw them first
at the same hour. 9:05 pm.
Pvt. Bennett saw two lights
Thursday night. One travelled to-
ward the southwest. and the
other toward the northeast.
They seemed to hover to-
gether for a while" he said
Then one disappeard. and the
other moved away from the spot
and finally disappeared"
At 6:40 pm. Friday. Pvt. Ben
nett saw them again. The Same
thing happened Saturday night
this time at Z pm. and 1857 pm
Then Sunday night. Sergt. Har-
Ian Young saw them at $40 pm.
8:48 pm. 1854 pm. and 9:20 pm
'They seemed to be about 1000
yards in the sky, and pretty
close" he said.

200 Debate
Teacher Issues !.
In MonfgoIllerY
More Industries
In County Urged
To Permit Better Puy

A throng of 200 Montgomery
citizens heard dozens Of ideas
on county teacher problems ex-
pounded at a meeting last night,
including one controversial sug-
gestion that the county allow
more commercial and light in
dustrial enterprises within itS
borders.
The turnout for the public
discussion was so great the meet
ing was moved from the school
administration Offices to the au-
ditorium in Rockville's new
county building.
Morris Allen, executive direc.
tor Of the Montgomery County
Taxpayers. Inc. told the meet
ing:
"To obtain the revenue needed
for more and better teachers.
the county must open UP more
areas for commercial and light
industrial development.
Residential property does not
pay it's way" he said. "The pro-
portion Of tax surplus property
in the county is shrinking"
Proposes Four-Way Program.
DR.. Forbes H. Norris, county
school superintendent. said the
school system, in order to I'LL its
teacher needs next years, has
four methods of attack:
l. Refresher courses for teach.
ers before the school year begins.
2. The attempt to provide COLI
lege and university extension
courses for present teachers.
3. Make the county school sys-
tenn so attractive it will be pos
sible to steal" teachers from
neighboring areas.
4. Circularize the advantages
Of teaching in the county.
Another speaker, Samuel ia
cobs, said the old principle that
teachers can be paid partly in
status" and partly in money"
no longer is appealing.
Mr.. Jacobs, chairman of the
Montgomery County chapter Of
Americans for Democratic Ac.
ton, said he was a teacher for
13 years and found the bar
gain wasn't so good" >
I'VE should work in the di-
rection of better compensation
for teachers" he said.
Some Frightened Away.
A statement on the problem
was presented by the education
committee of the Allied Civic
Group. Its chairman, Clarke L.
Fauver, said: Efforts to raise
standards have had the para
doxical effect Of frightening
away many potential recruits. -
Important though salaries
may be-" Mr.. Fauver's commit
tee reported. there is no ques-
ton but that working and
living conditions, job satisfac-
ton, security and community
status, and professional pres
tige have a great deal to do
with recruitment possibilities. I"
The forum proved so inter-
esting to citizens attending that
they voted by a nearly unani-
nous show of hands to hold
further public discussions of the
teacher problem.
Jesse Mcknight. representing
the Montgomery County Coun-
Gil of Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions. suggested: THE Board of
Education should go on the road
and put on the same perform
ance in other parts of the
county"
At the meeting last night.
Wylie w. Barrow was elected
president of the county School
Board. He succeeds H. Stan.

The board named Willard G.

Thick suds choke

You can't expect your automatic, to do Al

Your machine was made to swish and swirl
clothes around freely. This action is what helps
slosh out stubborn dirt. When you load up

Rinsing is easy, quick,
complete

Unless your machine rinses away every trace
of suds, white clothes soon turn grey. Colored
clothes soon cloud up with film. s''
That's another reason why thick suds are
troublermakers. They glue themselves to fab
RIGS and won't bulge, no matter how often the
rinse water is changed.
But aIPs controlled suds cure that head
ache quickly and completely. Rinsing is easy
because there's no blockade of bubbles to get

answer.

At 70, most men are con-

Cecil B. DeMille is In Egypt
supervising the drilling Of wells
in the desert to supply water
to 10000 actors and extras and
$4,000 live stock, building huge
palaces of the pharoahs, re-
producing the royal bathing
pavilions which once decorated
the Nile and completing tent
cities to house the acres Of per-
formers who will appear in his
"The Ten Commandments"
Because the 73-year-old De-
Mile is Hollywood's most ag-
gressive take-charge guy, I
thought that by this time the
world would have been noti-
fed that Egypt's Prime Minis
ter, Canal Abdel Nasser, had
surrendered his post to De-
Mile.
Or it may come to pass that
after he's completed his pic.
Egyptians may learn that De-
Mile has rewritten their his
tory. This has happened be-
fore, DeMille always exercis-
ing poetic license If he come
up with a thrilling scene.
For instance, when he made
"The Buccaneer," one. Of the
most moving scenes involved
a Scotch regiment advancing
on the, city in the face Of q
whitening point-blarlk fire. As
Lafltte's defending forces shot
down the killed heroes, one
Scot handed the flag to an
other as he fell and the regi-
ment closed ranks and con-
tinued advancing.
Censors intervene
When the picture reached
England, this thrilling scene
was completely scissored out of
the film. London censors
pointed out that while it tes-
titled to British bravery, it
also indicated the Scots had
lost the fight.
DeMille was, deeply shocked.
Quite a character this De-
Mile. In Sunset Boulevard"
he acted out one scene with
Gloria Swanson. Actors who
often ridicule him behind his
back were startled to find that
one of the greatest perform
ances in that picture was given
by DeMille.

He learned 1t from David
Belasco who, in addition to his
competence. knew the boxoffice
value of personal Identification.
Belasco achieved it by re-
versing his collar so that he
resembled a minister. He be.
came better known than the
stars who worked for him. He
cultivated other off-beat lido
syncrasies.
DeMille, observing the mas
ter for whom he worked, af.
fected leather puttees and an
inverted cap when he started
in Hollywood. He always has
known the value Of putting on
an act in public. The Egyp.
tians won't faze him at all.
And the Sphinxes haven't q
chance In the world Of staring
him down.
It's q cinch that DeMille, In
Egypt. is already licking his
chops as he anticipates what
he'll do with the Red Sea bit.
Fifteen years ago, he told
me that in his original "Ten
Commandments" his greatest
scene was this Red Sea Sc
s quence. ut even scared the
hell out of me-" confessed
Cecil B.
But don't ever sell the 73-
year-old man short. Forget all
the affectations and focus on
the fact that he knows exactly
what he's doing and has been
an enormous success in his
particular field of spectacu-
lars.
As far back as his first NOV
ing picture, "The Squaw Man."
which he made In q Hollywood
stable in December, 1918, with
four canvas wings and two
pieces of canvas as scenery,
DeMille started contributing
Importantly to moving pic
lures. This first effort was one
of the first fiye-reelers ever
made, in contrast to the STAN
dard fare of two-reelers, limit
ed to slabStick or Indians.
An Innovotor
BY the time he directed
''Warrens of Virginia." he'd
added many other refinements.
Up to then, all movie scenes
were lighted as glaringly as
possible. DeMille dared to add
Photographic depths by light
ing only half a performers
face. Raymond Hatton was the
first actor so lighted.
When the picture reached
DeMille's partners in the East,
Sam Goldwyn and Jesse Lasky,
they were stunned by the sub
dued lighting. They dispatched
a stormy wire to De Mile.
DeMille wired back: Didn't
you ever hear Of Rembrandt

Goldwyn wired apologetic-
ally: why didn't you let US
know about Rembrandt light
ing. Now we can charge twice

Drop Fifth in Row
By the Assoeioted Press

The Cleveland Indians might
have known that when their
winning streak was broken the
villains would be the White Sox.
The Indians put an 11-game
string on the line in Chicago
last night and the White Sox
promptly snapped it with a AZ
decision. If the streak had been
the other way around. Cleveland
probably would have won.
That's the way these peren-
nial runnersup in the American
League have been going at each
other regularly during the past
three seasons in one of the
most evenly matched rivalries
in the majors.
Since 1851 the series stands
1874 in favor of the Indians.
Cleveland's slight edge is re-
flected in the standings, since
it has finished second all three
years. The White Sox wound
up third twice and fourth once.
A year ago the clubs broke
even against each other, win
ming IL apiece. Sometimes it
seems they get so intent on
beating each ether that the
path to the top is left wide open
for another contender.
Chicago now has won three Of
five from the first-place Indians
this season. Cleveland leads
the White Sox by a game and
a half. with the third-place
Yankees uncomfortably close,
only two games out.
The White Sox will use their
biggest winner, Bob Keegan,
against the Indians as they wind
up their two-game series today.
Keegan. with 6-1 mark, will
face either Early Wynn (5-N or
Mike Garcia (4-4.
The Yanks took advantage Of
the Indians misfortune last
night to close the gap. They
