Actor MarIon BrandO
 Gets Smacked in the Face

 SANTA MONICA, Calif. tR = Emerging from a stormy child custody hearing, Anna Kashfi smacked her ex-husband, Marion Brando, across the face yester- day.
 E Brando continued down the courthouse corridor without say ing a word.
 Miss Kashfi, trembling, told photographers: Don't ever say l didn't give you a good picture" !" The blow, delivered with an open hand, was heard down the corridor and in full view of news photographers.
 The incident followed Brando's testimony that he's "tired of playing the heavy" in the pro- longed court squabble over their 3-year-old boy, Christian Devi.
 The actor was seeking court order to visit the boy three times, instead of twice, week.
 Brando, 36, was granted per mission to have the boy visit him every third weekend in addition to the twice weekly visitations previously allowed.
 Miss Kashfi, 26, and Brando were divorced in 1859.

The substance that makes a
FREELY glow has been manu-
factured in a laboratory test
tube.
1t is called "luciferin," and
it exists in such tiny amounts
in nature that all the fireflies
you have ever seen didn't col
lectively possess an ounce of it
The synthesis of luciferin
was achieved recently by a
scientific team a the Johns
Hopkins University in Balti-
more after II years of research
and experiments with several
million fireflies.
DR.. w. D. McElroy, biochem-
ist at the University, started
the project by determining the
chemical nature of luciferin.

Luciferin does not glow by

DR.. White and his team could

firefly manufactures luciferin,
so they figured out a way of
their own. ut may be entirely

way" DR.. White said.
Their raw-material was a
variety of benzine called para
aniSidine." BY taking this
through nine chemical steps
they came up with a substance
that was chemically identical
with luciferin; in fact. it was
luciferin.
BY adding the. appropriate
engines and co-enzymes, plus
oxygen, they produced exactly
