my own way. been trying to
learn my job and broaden my
acting point Of view as I go
along"
Parker, eager to take an
important step forward in a
Stalemated career, has, been
away from the screen for two
years studying and, as he puts
it, trying to think things
through and clarity my OBJ
jectives."
He returned last week to
face the cameras in Para
mounts Hell Is For Heroes, 4"
a drama of World War II, with
Steve Mcqueen, Bobby DARN,
Nick Adams and night-club
comedian Bob Newhart also
featured.
FeSs has been fettered, he
claims, by his Identification
with the old Davy Crockett
role and he finds it almost
impossible to disassociate it.
Although I haven't played
him in ages, Walt Disney keeps
reviving the series each year
for new generations of young
sters and so the Crockett legend
keeps dogging me-" Parker
grumbled. Nov that John
Wayne has done such a COM
plete job as Crockett in 'The
Alamo maybe my association
with the old Westerner will be
forgotten. I hope So"
Wherever he goes, Fess COM
plains, kids and their parents
still hail him joyously as Davy
and he gets fan letters written
as though he were still active
as Crockett. ..

"It's a ghost that's come to
haunt me-" he said. "I'm CRATE
full in a way for all that Croc-
kett has done for me, but I
simply must go on to fresh
fields. It's this recurring Disney
series that keeps knocking me
down all the time-keeps me
relegated to the one-character
tradition. That's why I've taken
two years off, to sort Of reaSsess
myself and my values"
For Parker, personally. there
have been some rewarding
changes. He has married and
become a parent.
Seriously" he concluded,
"I'ye got my mind on the sort
Of things Hollywood producers
would have thought Of for Gary
Cooper and I wish you'd tell
your readers that. Maybe they
would write and tell me what
they think" he added plain
lively. II would like them to
consider me for such assign
ments and give me a crack at
them"

SECOND
Of q weekly
series from your

GEORGE VAPAA

The age in which we live con-
tinually provides us with new won
ders and luxuries. At the same
time, we face potential problems
related to the effects of nuclear,
biological, and chemical warfare
These are made real by today's
worldwide activities.
In nuclear warfare, we are pri-
marily concerned with the danger
and effects from radiation. Radia-
ton can pass into and through
matter When it does, it can
change, damage, or destroy living
cells through ionization.
Ionization may result in death
of the cell or loss of it's ability to
divide and grow, thus inhibiting
normal cell replacement in the
body. So protection from the eff
fects of radiation is necessary 10
prevent iOnization or to minimize
such hazards
Radiation hazards to animal It's
sues are divided into two groups
external and internal.
The external hazard is the first
and most lethal problem of fresh
fallout. Gamma rays, similar to X
rays, are penetrating and capable
of travelling long distances. This
gamma radiation is usually pro-
duced by the shorter-lived iso-
topes. So, the hazard decreases
with time.
The internal hazard results from
consumption of contaminated food
and water. This hazard is caused
chiefly by lOnger-lived isotopes
that produce beta rays which trav-
ell only short distances. Inside the
body, beta rays continually ir-
radiate and damage cells. The in
ternal radiation hazard is of major
concern to agriculture because it
can affect most food commodities
Next week we will discuss prin-
ciples of protection against radia-
ton.
QUESTION: How can l get in
formation on what foods to buy
and how to protect them? H. l.. NJ.
Dover
ANSWER: A family food and
water stockpile to last up to a two
week period is one way we must
adapt to the threat of an atomic
attack Normal food buying habits
can be adjusted to provide for
such an emergency. We have a
USDA bulletin entitled 'F m i y
Food StOckpile for Survival"
which is available upon request at
the Extension Service on the End
floor of the Dover postoffice build

Corporation executives have
testified that they exercise con-

good will, their products, and

They were witnesses yester-
day at a Federal Communica-
tions Commission hearing on
the relation of national adver-
tising to network programing.
Gail Smith, advertising di-
rector for General Motors Corp,
said: "The public recognizes an
association between a television
program and its sponsors,
which it does not recognize in
any other media"
Tod Nj. Hunt, general adver-
tising manager of the Alumi-
mum Co. of America, said his
company reserved the right to
reject any story or script con-
trary to the firms interests and
standards.

worked convulsively when the
verdict was read.
Then. as his son was led
away in handouts by Deputy
United States Marshals, Mr..
Rees walked outside to a car
where the condemned Slayer's
mother was waiting. Gently
and almost inaudibly, Mr.. Rees
told his wife of the jury's de-
cision.
She Weeps
Mrs. Rees, who fought hard
for her son on the witness
stand here and at his kidnap-
ing trial in Baltimore last win
ter, burst into tears as friends
tried to comfort her.
Relatives of the slain Jack
son family, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
jamin L. Hill and their son
George, heard the verdict with
out visible emotion and left i'm
mediately for their home at
Bumpass, Va.
The jury had been kept in it's
firehouse retreat for two hours
past the end of its lunch re-
cess unaccountably and no Of
ficial would explain the delay
at first. although later it was
learned a question had been
raised about one juror.
Reporters were unable to
learn how many ballots were
required to reach the verdict,
since Judge Butzner instructed
the jurors not to permit news
paper, television or radio inter-
views until the case is disposed
of finally.
Defense Makes Motion
AS soon as Judge Butzner
had thanked and dismissed the
jury, Alfred w. Garnett, defense
attorney, made a motion that
the verdict be set aside as
contrary to the law and the
evidence, and asked time to
submit further grounds. Judge
Butzner said he would allow
Mr.. Garnett and his associate,
Joseph L. Savage, jr., IA days
to prepare further motions.
Later the hearing on the mo-
tion was set for January 4.
The prosecutors, Spotsylvania
Commonwealth Attorney T.
Stokeley Coleman. Louisa Coun-
ty Commonwealth Attorney w.
Earle Crank and William L..
Scaife, jr., heard the verdict
without comment and made no
motions.
Under Virginia law, Rees has
so days to file an appeal with
the State Supreme Court of
Appeals.
Should the Federal Govern
ment decide against yielding
custody to Virginia. Rees would
be eligible for parole in is
years.
However, it is likely that if
Rees served the Federal SEN
tences, Virginia would file de-
tainers against him, meaning
that in event of a parole he
would be returned to that
