Historic Feat Is Recalled In Film Story One of history's most glorious chapters — the heroic charge of the Lancers during the Crimean ‘Wart — is reported brought to the screen with thundering realism in Columbia Pictures’ “Charge of the Lancers,” in color by Technicolor on Thursday at the Monroe Thea- ter. Starring Paulette Goddard and Jean Pierre Aumont and fea- turing Richard Stapley, “Charge of the Lancers” is said to be re- plete with scorching romance, magnificent spectacle and sus- ful intrigue. In “Charge of the Lancers,” Aumont is seen as an officer with the Allied forces before the Rus- sian fort of Sebastopol during the Crimean War. Aumont and a fel- Jow-officer, Richard Stapley, de- liver a new type of cannon to the front lines. When Stapley is cap- tured by the Russians, Aumont volunteers to rescue him from the besieged fort. With the help of a gypsy family and posing as the husband of Paulette Goddard, a fiery, beautiful gypsy, he gets into fortress. iui is said to mount ;as Aumont rescues Stapley and learns the military action necessary to capture the fort and as Miss God- dard dodges the romantic atten- tions of the fort’s commanding officer. The climactic scenes of}. include the history-mak- ie arcs of the Lancers against ig oll reports indicate that Miss Goddard is perfect as the tempestuous gypsy girl who is in- strumental in helping Aumont carry out his war-winning ob- jective. Aumont is said to be properly swashbuckling _ and ro- mantic as the military officer upon ‘whose shoulders rests victory or and screen play for * the Lancers” was Soest mobert E. Kent.

Haynes, PHC(AP) |g LA, has had a full career in the avy. ae: on temporary ain VX-1’s photo lab from airshi pk En. the PHC(AP)LA title means he is a photo chief and a blimp pilot as well. He is now waiting discharge after 20 service. Waynes enlisted in October 1927 and after his boot camp training at Hampton Roads, Va., he was sent to the USS Texas, a battle- ship which toured both the Atlant- je and the Pacific coasts as well as the Caribbean. From the Texas, Haynes went aboard a number of other ships while he worked for his rate of signalman. In February 1929 he was aboard the USS Finch, a inesweeper which toured the China Seas. He came back to the states on the USS Henderson, a transport, got married in Sart Francisco in 1932, and went back to the sea aboard the battleship Nevada. - From the Nevada, Haynes saw duty on the seagoing tug Algorma, the destroyer tender Argonne, and the minesweeper Brandt. In August 1935 he was discharg- ed as a signalman 3rd class at the age of 24. e After his discharge and until 1938, Haynes served in the mer- chant marine and sailed to Ger- many, Holland, England, and France. He noticed war clouds building up and reenlisted in the Navy. He soon became a chief signal- man and then applied for lighter than air pilot training. In July 1943 after completing airship pilot training, he was commissioned an Ensign in the Naval reserve. As an airship pilot Haynes saw duty in the countries of South America during the war. He was stationed at Sao Luiz, Brazil with squadron ZP-41, In the latter part of ‘44 he re- turned to America and was sent to school at Akron, Ohio where he studied the designs and con- struction of airships. He was discharged again in October 1845 as a Lt. (jg). In order to stay in the Navy, Haynes resigned his Reserve commission and reenlisted in February 1946 as a Chief AP. The flying chief applied for Photo school at Pensacola and after completing the six-month course went to NAAS Sanford Fla, where he spent his first tour of shore duty since coming into the Navy. In June of’ ‘53 he came to Key West and was attached to ZX-11. He lives here with his wife, Mable. They have had three children and two grandchildren.

Eye Injury Can Result From Atomic Blast By RENNIE TAYLOR - AP Science Reporter SAN FRANCISCO (# — The light from an atomic explosion can cause fluid in the eyes to turn to steam and explode, four doctors from the School of Aviation Medi- cine at Randolph Field, Tex., re- ported today. ” Rays from a bomb of the Hiro- shima type can injure eyes 40 miles away, they told the Ameri- can Medical Assn. The physicians, Dr. Victor A. Byrnes, Dr. David V. L. Brown, Dr. Heinrich W. Rose and Dr. Paul A. Gibis, tested the effects of atomic light at the atomic tests on the Nevada desert. They used rabbits for subjects. In exceptionally clear air and at night, when the eye is adapted t night vision, the light injured rab- bit eyes as far as 49% miles away. Atomic light is the same as di- rect sunlight, but the first flash is 100 times brighter than solar radiation. Injuries to human eyes have occurred from direct expo- sure to sunlight. They are called eclipse burns. People who look at the solar eclipse June 30 should make sure to use heavily smoked glass. The atomic light is so intense, the doctors said, that it momen- tarily heats the fluid in the retina to steam. The steam pressure breaks the tissues suddenly in a little localized explosion. Some of the heat also is conducted to near- by tissues and additional damage is done. This happens only when the energy levels of the explosion _|are very high. If you should happen to be look- ing in the direction of an atomic explosion when it happens, it won’t do you any good to blink, the doc- tors said. The damage is done in a thousandth of a second. It takes a tenth of a second to blink. Cdr. Miller Takes Over As Head Of Second Division Cdr. Charles K. Miller, who re- cently assumed command of Sub- marine Division 121, also took command of Division 122 Saturday during a full dress ceremony con- ducted on board the submarine Amberjack. He relieved Cdr. Raymond A. Moore who will report for staff duty with’ Commander Submarine Force, Pacific Fleet, Administra- tion, Mare Island Nawal Shipyard, Vallejo, Calif, Cdr. Moore, a di- vision commander for Key West based Squadron Twelve for the past year, thas two “firsts” for a submarine officer. Cdr. Moore was Executive Offic- er of the submarine Stingray which was the first ‘boat’, to ef- fect rescue of a downed aviator by towing the pilot to safety while submerged with only the periscope up. In 1948, he was skipper of the Irex which made the first extended submerged snorkel patrol by a U. S. Submarine. Cdr. Miller, a veteran of 13 years of submarine duty and 14 war pa- trols will have command of the two divisions until late July when Cdr. James M. Hingson, present Executive Officer of the Gilmore, will assume command of 122. ADM. BAKER, PARTY RETURN TO NORFOLK R-Adm. H. D. Baker, USN, com- mander of the Operational Devel- opment Force with headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, and seven members of his staff departed last Friday after a three day visit to activities under his operational control in the Key West area. While here the staff visited at Surface Anti-submarine Develop- ment Detachment, Mine Warfare Evaluation Detachment, participat- ed in an evaluation exercise at sea aboard the USS Saufley and in flight evaluation exercises at Air- ship Development Squadron Eley- en and Air Development Squadron One.

LeRoy Adams Jr., Live Oak phy- sician. Declaring his client didn’t have U.S. OPPOSES (Continued from’ Page One) cil members could force one by asking for it. Other non-Commu- on the group, how- a fair trial, Frank Cannon, Jack- | Poses sonville attorney, told the court “I believe about every right this Negro woman had has been vio- lated. She had no chance at all.” oe court, which made no im- mediate ruling, appeared partic- ularly interested in Cannon’s claim the jury which convicted her viewed the scene of the shooting without either the trial judge or the defendant present. State Atty. W. R. Slaugher, rep- resenting the state, said he didn’t think that was an error on part of Judge Hal W. Adams. He re- Ported the jury, with the judge and the defendant, returned the next day and looked at the scene again. The state contends the woman shot the white physician in a dis- pute over a bill. She has declared his death followed his attempt to become intimate with her. Farm Workers Strike In Italian Area FERRARA, Italy uj — Imagine four to six counties in Iowa locked in a farm worker strike with hun- dreds arrested, nine police hurt, roads barricaded and eattle starving. It’s happening here. The strike has been spreading for more than 60 days until now an estimated 100,000 grim-faced farm workers stand idle, and 4,000 farms are hard hit in all Ferrara province— Italy’s Little Holland, 400 square miles of diked farmland rich in dairy products and grain. Italian troops stand on alert ready to'move in if police are un- able to maintain order. Farm owners say 30 cows have died and hundreds are starving or facing death from poisoned wells, Thou- sands of gallons of milk have spoiled, shut off from market by roads embedded with spokes, blocked with manned barricades, or cut with three-feet deep ditches which have stalled police jeeps try- ing to escort milk trucks to town. The big dikes that guard flood- menaced Canalbianco in the Po delta lowlands were cut at one place, flooding hundreds of acres of farmland. ~In repeated clashes between strikers and police since the strikes began to spread last April 22, nine police have been injured, mostly by stoning, and 400 demonstrators were arrested. Of these a score or more still are held on charges of “resistance and outrage to police.” The farm workers demand sweeping wage increases and im- proved working conditions, includ- ing 69 paid holidays a year instead of their present 31. Wages vary with classes of workers. But the ordinary farm hand gets 17,000 lire a month, with some meals and food to take home. That pay amounts to $30 a month. Time workers get 120 lire an hour—20 cents. : The threat to bring in troops last week brought some concessions. Striking workers agreed to feed the 70,000 cattle on the 4,000 af- fected farms once a day. But they al Headquarters at Ottawa and |i Ordnance Commander C. B. Mac- Leod of the Canadian Joint Staff at Washington, D. C. departed last Friday after a four-day visit to Naval activities in the Key West area. While here, the group visited at Surface Anti-Submarine Develop- ment Detachment, Naval Ordnance Unit, Fleet Sonar School, Ad- vanced Underseas Weapons School, Mine Warfare Evaluation Detachment, Airship Development Squadron Eleven and Air Develop- ment Squadron One.

Guatemala City reported a rebel plane strafed. the California Stan- dard gasoline tanks there and ha- assed a military encampment at the edge of the capital. Informed sources in El Salvador said an airlift of U.S. citizens out of Guatemala would begin today, but dispatches from Guatemala City made no mention of evacua- tion plans. There are some 1,200 North Anericans in the country. In Mexieo City, Guatemalan Am- bassador Roberto Alvarado Fuen- tes said Arbenz’ forces scored three victories yesterday. He said he had learned in a phone call! from his ¢apital that they had routed the rebels at Gualan and Chiquimula, near the Honduran border, and had counterattacked at the big pert city of Puerto Bar- vios, a prime rebel target. 3 Villages Occupied A rebel communique said anti- Communist forces have occupied three Guatemalan villages and knocked out three bridges, two of them near the vital rail town of Zacapa. The rebels also claimed to have cut the Pan-American Highway in Guatemala near the El Salvador border. Reports trom El Salvador said the highway was closed at the border point. Private advices from Guatalema said the town of Bananera, near Puerto Barrios, was in rebel hands.

Gen. Richard Ervin, who has ruled only wrapped sandwich- es may be sold at turnpike conces- sions under the law providirg for the toll road, suggested money could be saved by eliminating the | eating concessions. The plans call for construction of three service areas, including restaurant facili- ties, at a cost of $3,650,000. “Wouldn’t it seem reasonable ++. and give people now operating businesses in the area a chance to serve these people,” Ervin asked.
