Page 2 Western Sites Present A New Film Problem John Lund claims that Hollywood | movie makers will be faced with a serious problem if they continue | to film their Western thrillers e-| gainst authentic backgrounds. “Movie fans have become accus- | tomed to a typed Western star,” | says Lund. “‘He’s fast on the trig- | ger, rolls his own cigarettes and | will choose anyone in the barroom at the drop of a ten-galion hat.” | Lund, now starring with Scott! Brady and Joyce Holden in Univer- | sal - International’s Technicolor “Bronco Buster,” opening Tues- day at the Monroe Theatre, travel- ed to Cheyenne, Wyoming, with other cast principals for important rodeo scenes in the new film. The actor was in Oheyenne for the entire celebration of the Fron- tier Days Rodeo and claims the} never heard a cowpoke threaten, “There ain’t room enough in this town for the both of us,” or “I’m going to make you eat them words,” “As a matter of fact,” Lund points out, “no one ever mid ‘Howdy, Pardner’ or ‘They went thataway!’ ” Lund maintains that if Holly- Free and Open to the Public Tiss Christian Science Reading Room in your com- munity is maintained in sim- ple gratitude by your Chris- tian Science neighbors.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN |such top-ranking rodeo stars as Monday, March 15, 1954 wood continues a too close asso- ciation with the gentlemanly sad-! dle heroes of the great plains the | Western star will become soft and lose his already established screen identity. “I’m certain the movie fan would object if his Western favorite sud- dently dropped his rugged and re- cognized mannerisms and actually acted like a range rider of the great outdoors,” he concludes. “Bronco Buster” casts Lund and | Scott Brady as feuding rodeo per- formers who battle for top honors on the rodeo circuit. | Chill Wills heads the film’s large) supporting cast which also includes | Casey Tibbs, World Champion Bronco Rider; Pete Crump, Man- uel Enos and Jerry Spangler. Budd Boetticher directed Ted Richmond produced. and | J. TOM WATSON (Continued from Page One) at odds with fellow Cabinet mem- bers and organized labor. He stepped out as attorney gen- eral in 1948 to run for governor. He was eliminated in the first primary, but within a week he was back on the stump campaign- ing in a special primary against Justce T, Frank Hobson for the Supreme Court position left vacant by the retirement of Justice Riv- ers Buford. He lost. Watson’s last try for the Demo- cratic nomination was in 1950, when he unsuccessfully sought a seat in Congress from the first district. His most notable triumph in Florida politics was sponsorship of the constitutional amendment making it unlawful to deny a per- son the right to work because of membership or non-membership in | a labor organization. It was rati- fied over bitter opposition by or- ganized labor. Compton, whose three daughters are named Faith, Hope and Char- ity, promised to ride a white horse to the Whte House if he should win the presidency in 1952. Entry of Watson and Compton assured a statewide Republican primary. There were no Repub- lican candidates for statewide of- fice until they qualified. It also will give the Republcans a chance to save the position they gained as a major political party by getting more than 20 per cent of the votes cast in the 1952 gen- eral election. ; If they should fail to get 20 per cent in the coming genera] elec- tion, the Republicans would fall back into the minority party class. The major difference is that ma- jority parties must elect their | presidential electors and national committeemen in statewide pri- maries whereas minority parties may select the electors and com- mitteemen any way the state exec- utive committee pleases—by pri- mary, convention or—as the com- mittee did in 1952—by having them handpicked by the committee it- self.

The French have staked their hold in the hilly Thai country on Dien Bien Phu since tast autumn, when they seized the plain and abandoned other towns im the northwest. U. .S.-supplied war equipment was flown in from Hanoi, 175 miles to the east, to build a formidable defense sys- tem—a ring of bunkers, trenches and gun emplacements around an airfield. The Vietminh encircled the for- | tress, entrenching from 36,000 to 46,000 troops in the surrounding hills. Making up this force were the four best trained and equipped of the Vietminh’s eight regular divisions. More than 100,000 coolies Communist China—over mountain trails. French fighters and bombers harassed the besieging force with- out letup day after day, and there were some patrol clashes. Finally the Vietminh closed in last week with mortars and guns as big as 105mm. cannon. Some of the rebel troops dug foxholes and trenches only 800 yards from the center of the French position, Wild Assault Late Saturday afternoon the rebels lunged out of the hills by the thousands, cascading against acres of barbed-wire. They stepped up the wild assault from several directions during the night despite the sweeping fire of French mobile artillery, tanks and machine guns. The rebels apparently counted on their numerical superiority to overrun the French positions. Sereaming infantry fired rifles, pistols, submachineguns and hurled bamboo spears as they closed in for hand-to-hand fighting. Two French outposts were over- powered. The defending force, under French officers, was made up of French paratroopers, Foreign Legionnaires, North Africans and Vietnamese, SHOWDOWN ON (Continued from Page One) tive and legislative branches must be fair and proper.

He said there will not be enough mem. bers avalable for a meeting to- day, and that he will leave Wednesday on a speaking trip which will keep him out of Wash- ington until next week.

The report specifically ac- cused the subcommittee’s chief counsel, Roy Cohn, who is a pal of Schine, of backing such de- mands with threats.

Also, previously, any attempt to identify objects or individuals, took the baby girl a considerable amount of time. Now, there was indication of normel response to stimulus. The happy parents proceeded to dress Delores in street attire. A vigil of almost 24-hours’ duration was at an end. It was now 9 a, m., Saturday, Match 13. At about this time, Friday, the parents, Delor- es in arms, had set out for the doctor’s office, When they left the Bronx apart- ment of Mr. Disgdiertt’s brother, Mario, there was no inkling of what the day would bring. Osten- sibly, it was for another examina- tion for Delores, by the eye spe- cialist. Immediate Treatment At the doctor’s east side, mid- town Manhattan offices, the baby was examined. The father was asked to sign the required release papers consenting to an operation for the infant, if necessary, he said later. During the ensuing hours, Disg- diertt said that he saw Delores taken into a room. Through a glass partition, his wife and he were able to witness doctors and nurses busying themselves about Delores. Later, in the afternoon, the pa- tents were told that their daughter was under an anaesthetic. They were also informed that the baby would remain there, overnight, and that a room would be assigned to the parents. Hours of Uncertainty Friday night, baby Delores was brought to her parents’ room at the private hospital. There was a crib in the room. Her father reports that she cried throughout the night. They remained awake, looking woefully at the infant with band- ages over both eyes. They prayed. ane, wondered what it was aif Disgdiertt states that at no time did the doctor inform him that an operation had been performed. The nurses were careful to avoid the subject. Saturday morning, after examining the baby, removing the bandages, and writing a prescrip- tion for eye drops, the parents were instructed to retum, with their baby, Monday morning. No other comment was made by the doctor, the parents report. In a cab, on the way back to the Bronx, the Disgdiertts had an- other eyeopener, The fare from the doctor’s building in Manhattan to the Bronx apartment, where they are staying with his brother, Ma- tio, was only $1.40, During the fre- quent taxi trips they had been re- quired, previously the fare was over $5 each way. Disgidertt is wonder- ing now whether the other cab dri- vers were taking advantage of the fact that the Key Westers were strangers in town, he stated. Further Indications It was at his brother's apart- ment that Abelardo had even more dramatic evidence of the improve- ment in his infant. daughter’s vi- sion. Delores showed no hesitation in immediately reaching for toys that were offered her. She indicat- ed that she actually saw the toys. There were none of the previous symptoms. Until now, an object or toy ac- tually had to be placed in Delores’ hands, before she would manifest any semblance of recognition. Now, she seemed to see immediately and automatically reach for the toy. Of course, the parents, explained that there is still room for consi- derable improvement, but it seems to be a step in the right direction, The examination that Delores was to undergo this morning, will undoubtedly, give the parents fur- ther insight into the results. They were scheduled to be at the doc- tor’s office between 9 and 9:30) a.m. today. Disgdiertt’s first act, upon leav- ing the Doctor's office Saturday moming, was to send a telegram to Lou Carbonell in Key West. ae Miss Radio Show y’s unanticipated medicai developments for Delores was not diertts had received an invitation for an interview with Producers of the famous “Strike It Rich” radio and TV program.

The decree which had been for the destruction of the currances, of the festival known as the Feast of Lots or Purim was instituted by the great men of an organization to which Mordecai be- ed.” Rabbi Schwartz mentioned the importance of the giving of gifts at the time of this festival. This custom takes both the form of giv- ing charitable gifts to the poor and of exchanging gifts with loved ones. This latter custom has given rise to the interesting character known, the Rabbi said, as ‘‘Scloach Monos Truger,” the messenger who carries the gifts to the homes of the receiver on Purim day. «The Rabbi feels that after peo- ple understand the Purim story, they may feel sure the day will arrive when all people with true faith in God will be freed from the peril of dictators and may en- joy liberty from tyranny. “Let us all pray together and stay together and enjoy the gifts of the Creator together,” he said, “and let us not forget to bless our great country, the United States of America and all peaceful and friendly-minded people throughout the world.” Citizen, with the continuous front page stories printed by The Citi- zen, about Delores and her plight. Based on The Citizen’s stories, the “Strike It Rich” people asked | to meet Delores and her parents. With the first appointment can- celled, for reasons more urgent, there is a possibility of another in- terview being arranged for a date more convenient to the Disgdiertts. Later Appearance Possible Should this materialize, there is a possibility that the “‘heartline’”’ as- pect of the program may result. Key Westers displayed a spon- taneous “‘heartline” by contribut- ing to infant Delores Disgidertt’s “Flight To Sight” fund. Should their appearance on “Strike It Rich” materialize, this heartline may, in| all probability, extend some 1,500 miles to New York City. At amy rate, if the initial indi- cations of Delores’ restored sight in both eyes prove permanent, the parents feel that the mssion of merey from Key West to New York has enabled them to strike it rich in ways that cannot be measured in terms of money. It’s really a case of “Plight to Sight” in the hope of a return with vision. i DEATHS CARL O. NEILSEN The body of Carl O.
