Hollywood Diary
On Touring Europe
With q CoIun1nist
By Sheiloh Grohom

I arrived in London, amused and
amazed the gentlemen Of the
fourth estate who were placed
at tables with one empty seat.
When Marlene entered, a voice
commanded, ''To your feet, gen.
tlemen!" She sat for a few min
utes at each table, slipping from
different glasses. One columnist
failed to be thrilled and COM
planned in his column. "it meant
one less sip for me-" But
the Duchess Of Argyll. reigning
beauty of Britain, was more en-
thusiastic. After seeing Marlene.
she said, cts good. give up, I
don't care what I look like any
more after seeing. that beautiful
woman"
London never looked so green
it rained for two weeks every
day before I arrived. The grass
in the parks Is long. When I
was there ten years ago, fresh
fruit was very conspicuous by
its absence. But now every shop
and barrow is overlooking with
apples. oranges. bananas, cher
ries. plums. You can get all the
butter you want and, now meat
Is of the rationed list. Every
one dresses to the hilt. London
Is gay and fairly reasonable In
price.
II $50
But Paris! Prices are fantastic
higher than they have ever
been. This Is sucker town, and
it's open season on the Ameri-
cans. I'm afraid to breathe be-
cause someone will charge me for
the oxygen I take up. And the
once-beautiful Champs Elysee-
it's now q dangerous parking lot.
Cars are allowed to park on the
once-wide sidewalks, and it's the
only place in the world. ] mag

Tor 1t. THESE humans are ln--
willingly represented by a cast
which cost Goth Century Fox
quite a nugget of gold. They in
clude Gary Cooper. Susan Hay
ward. Richard Widmark and
Cameron Mitchell, all of them
with a respectable gift for play
ing the broodingly homicidal
types the script calls for.
Garden of Evil" you see, is
a film that keeps its violence
mostly just below the surface
and it is a welcome relief from
those Westerns which confuse a
high death rate with action.
Moreover, in addition to being
blessed with some dramatic dis
closures Of human nature, it has
some dazzlingly evil looking
country as its engrossing setting.
y y X \
The Charles Bracket produc-
ton. directed by Henry Hath
away, in its simplest terms is a
suspenseful scenic tour of some
presumably Mexican had lands.
The tour begins when Miss
Hayward drops into an almost
deserted, heat-drenched cantina,
looking for help to rescue her
husband trapped in a gold mine
i've days away. Cooper, Wldmark
and Mitchell, with nothing better
to do and no prettier face to fol-
low. accept her proposition.
Helping make their joint deci-
sion easier is the passing thought
that the trapped husband prob
ably is dead and that the best
man Of the trio might end up
with title to Miss Hayward ana
the gold mine. Thus begins the
five-days' arduous ride to the
mysterious mine, the several
varieties OF passes her compan-
ions have to make toward the
girl. and the revelation that it is
not mere human decency that
motivates the rescue party.
There is enough of incident
including the horsemen's need to
Jump across 5,000-f foot deep gap
in the mountain road-to keep
the long ride from being mono
tonous. To counterpoint this and
the other tense sequences, there
is constant ripple OF comedy
through the screenplay. Princl-
pally involved in this are Cooper,
q laconically mysterious sort, and
Widmark a talking type who is
determined to penetrate the
others secret.
Miss Hayward, who represents
seek, ana very ably too, also
makes her contribution to keep
ing the trip lively by alternately
indicating an interest in each of
her companions.
Generally speaking. the sus-
pense of Garden of Evil" is
well maintained until it runs
into the Hollywood casting con-
vention as the film comes to its
climax. Here it becomes appar-
ent that as the highest priced
performer in the cast, Cooper,
could not conceivably lose Miss
Hayward; equally apparent that
Widmark has to be the runner
up and that Mitchell, the most
dispensable, will be the first
to go.

Bumped smack into Daryl
Zanuck on my arrival at the
Lancaster Hotel here and he
seemed glum. Could be because
j. Arthur Rank dealt him body
blow by deciding to use Vista
vision in his 500 movie theaters
instead of CinemaScope. Rank
complained that Zanuck's screen
was too expensive-would cost
him $4,000 a theater.
Visited two plays on two con-
secutive nights. Saw Lawrence
Olivier and Vivien Leigh in Lon
don in ''The Sleeping Prince. !"
and Ingrid Bergman at the Paris
Opera House in Joan at the
Stake" Neither play could make
the grade in New York. Olivier
plays an amorous German
prince, middle-aged, with a
heavy accent. He hams it to the
hilt. Vivien is an American act
ress with an atrocious accent.
Both work hard to be funny, but
Martha Hunt, as Olivier's wife,
steals the show. AS for In
grid here, the French press was
kind to her. but every one I've
talked to agrees with me that
Rossellini has been very bad for
her career. The operetta is POM

%. Messages speeding along
your nerves are part Of the
wondrous machinery by which
you can read these words. Or
light a cigarette. or lift your fork.
But exactly how do nerves
work: where do they get their
electric energy?
This secret is being tackled at
the Marine Biological Laboratory
here, where each summer $50
scientists and students work to
fathom a host OF natures puz-
zles. Here where waters of the
warm Gulf Stream and cold
Labrador current meet, the sea
supplies q rich variety of marine
life as tools to study the engines
of life.
A curious jet-propelled fish,
the squid. is a perfect tool for
the nerve studies directed by DR..
Kenneth s. Cole of the Naval
Research Institute. Bethesda.
Md.
From the squid he takes the
large main nerve, the axon. In
life, the axiom is part Of the
nerve control system Of the
squid's jet action.
How Jet Works.
The squid, a fish 10 to Is
inches long. commonly used as
bait and seafood, sucks in water
and squirts it out through a
special tube behind it's head.
It can point the tube backward
for sudden forward jet speed,
or flip the tube to go scooting
backward. 1t cam use the tube
as a jet brake while it's in for
ward or reverse motion.
The squid axon is a long nerve,
but no thicker than a half dozen
threads intertwined. Still 1t is
large enough so q tiny electrode
can be inserted inside to meas
ure electric currents or poten-
tials. The electrode detects ac-
tivity when a small electric cur
rent is applied.
Scientists here and elsewhere
have cracked part Of the mystery
Of how nerves carry their sig
mails.
The current along nerves does
not consist of electrons, as in
an ordinary electric wire. Nerve
current is generated by electric
ally charged atoms-ionS-of So
dunn and potassium.
Chemical Balance Rules.
When a nerve is resting, there
are more potassium ions inside
the nerve than outside. There
are a lot more sodium ions out
side than inside. Sea water and
all body fluids are rich In So
dunn. which is part of ordinary
salt.
In the resting nerve, the eiec-
trio potential inside the nerve
is smaller than that outside the
nerve.
But when the nerve is stimu-
lated-by a message from the
brain. by pain, or an electrical
stimulus applied to the squid
axoia--there is q lightning fast
interchange of ions from outside
to inside.
Sodium ions come pouring in

and supply the energy for trans
hitting the message. Potassium
ions start flowing outside.
The electrical potential
changes In q wave-like motion
along the length of the nerve,
and the wave movement carries
the message.
When the current has passed.
the original balance between
sodium and potassium ions Is re-
stored, and the nerve is ready
within a few thousandths of a
second to send another message.
What Controls Flow?
DR.. Cole and associates are en-
gagged in difficult experiments
and measurements to learn pre-
cisely what controls this flow Of
ions. What kind of valve" is at
work? Is it some potent chemi-
cal. an engine perhaps?
The objective is to learn how
a normal nerve works. That
might bring important knowl-
edge for treating human nervous
ailments or preserving normal
health longer, or for improved
electronic equipment. No one
can easily foretell what uses may
come later from discovery Of
! basic facts.
Scores Of similar projects en-
gage scientists and graduate stu
dents working in 145 we'll
equipped laboratory benches and
room as the Marine Biological
Laboratory.
AS an example, what happens
when a sperm cell fertilizes an
egg cell? How does the egg
change to permit entry by only
one sperm? DR.. Arthur K. Par
part Of Princeton University.
vice president of MBL, is using
sea urchins in this study.
Can fish or other forms Of
marine life supply new anti
biotics against human disease?
What happen in the murky.
depths of the sea to destroy or
promote the life of food-giving
fishes and crusteaceans?
Unanswered Questions.
For science the world is full Of
unanswered questions.
The laboratory gives scientists
q chance for summer work to
continue researches already un-
der way at their own univer-
sites or to begin some new line
Of questioning. on animals or
plans not available in their
home laboratories.
MBL is q ronprofit corpora
ton with 400 scientists members
mostly university biologists
who elect 80 trustees. Scientists
apply to work here, paying $3.50
to $500 for laboratory facilities.
IS a week for room, and SIS
weekly per person for tasty meals
in the mess hall.
Many make financial sacrifices
to pursue their research in sum-
mer. Many bring their wives and
children. Many are young grad
uate students. and thus romance
Is no stranger in this center Of
science.
1.-THE lab is sometimes called
a matrimonial agency-there's q
saying that most marriages are
made in heaven. or Woods Hole"
laughed DR.. Philip B. Armstrong,
MBL director from the State
University of New York Medical
Center, Syracuse. DR.. Armstrong
met his wife here.
Famous professors teach sum-
mer courses in physiology and
biochemistry. Lights often burn
late at night in laboratories.
Fees paid by scientists cover
only 40 per cent of the labs
costs. A million dollar endow-
ment brings income, but another
million is needed. Grants from
such organizations as the Rookie
feller Foundation, erican
Cancer Society, Office Of Naval
Research and National Science
Foundation supply funds. So do
contributions from individuals.

Mahoney Seeks
Party Harmony
BY the Assoeiosed Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 2O.-George
P. Mahoney served notice to
political friend and foe last night
that he's still in Maryland pol
itics.
The Baltimore County con-
tractor, describing himself as
perfectly neutral" offered to
serve as mediator for warning
Democratic factions now battling
over the city's nomination for
mayor.
He said the Democratic Party
needs harmony" and that
Baltimore City would be a good
place to start.
Mr.. Mahoney is a county resi-
dent. but if he could straighten
things out he'd help his own
political ambitions.
So far there are four Demo-
cratic candidates: Mayor Thomas
D'Alesandro, the incumbent seek
ing reelection; Francis x. Dipple,
q State senator for four years:
George Sellmayer. former City
Council president: and grocer
Harry Kemper.
And today. attorney Hyman A.
Pressman said If some sort of
agreement isn't made in the next
few days, II may decide to take
the plunge myself" and file for
the Democratic. nomination. He
called Mayor A'Alesandro easy
pickings" for the Republicans.

1t Does Happen Here
Obey Traffic Signals and Don't Block Traffic;
rs Arrested Monthly for Needless Use of Horn

During any moment of the
rush hours, more than 100000
drivers are edging their cars
along the Districts roadways.
The streams of traffic must
traverse slightly more than 1000
miles of streets. Certain routes
are heavy favorites. and, with
driving space in short stock,
some snarls are unavoidable.
Each day, however. many tie
ups grow out of situations like
the one pictured here. The best
laid plans Of traffic experts are
no match for this woman mo-
toriSt. .
Having sat through the
straight and left-turn arrow
signal. she now ignores the
irritated honking behind to wait
for a right-turn arrow signal
that will never appear.
Any turn, which is not other
wise prohibited. may be made on
a full green signal.
However. motorists who lean
on their horns are not only
adding to the city's clamor but
are breaking the law. Arrests
for unnecessary use of the horn
have been running about IS q
month.
