Those Aboard
There were 33 passengers, in
cluding three children, and seven
crew members aboard when the
plane left Pittsburgh.
The plane was schudeled to fly
to Syracuse after stopping at Buf
falo, then take off for Miami.
The scene of the crash was fair
ly level. The plane left a path of
fallen trees as it swept into the
woods. Survivors said another 50
feet of altitude would have en
abled the pilot to clear the ridge.
Referring to the death of his
mother, Albert told a newsman
that ‘I don’t yet have a real sense
of loss. I guess I'm too shocked.”
As the plane ripped into the
trees, he said, “I remember think
ing, ‘well, my boy, you're going to
find out what it's like to die.”

The other car was driven by
Selmon Turpin, 253 Reece street.
Damage to his car was to the left
rear fender, while the damage to
Gunter’'s car was on the right
front.
Gunter was following the other
car too closely and tried to pass
on the left side, the police report
stated, but Turpin was making a
left turn into Magnolia street, and
the smashup was the result.

Poor Man’s Philosopher Writes
Open Letter To A New Year Baby
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK —(AP)— An open
letter to any child born on New
Year’s Day: -
Welcome to the weorld, kid.
Something new has been added—
you! And we need you. The
drinks are on the house - today.
What'll you have—milk?
You arrived with a cry; you'll
leave with a sigh, years and years
from now. The first thing you
got was a free spank on the bot
tom, and you'll spend the rest of
your life trying to earn a pat on
the back. }
it’s a strange wonderland you
came into, isn’t it? Everything is
warm and soft and cozy. But al
ready you've got troubles—big
monsters in white cooing at you,
picking you up, setting you down,
wrapping you and unwrapping
you as if you were something be
ing exchanged at a department
store,

says the records above will be

a lot later, too. There's plenty to|
be indignant about. '
And your eyes—they don’t focus !

trying for 25,000 years to see be

Would you like to know what
lies ahead? That’s easy. Here's the
usual formula:
First you grow up, then you
start growing down. You gum
your milk now, then you get teeth,
then the teeth hurt and you pull
them out, and then you gum it the

You'll spend a small fortune on it,
pampering it ,cutting it, combing
it. And then the ungrateful stuff
will turn grey and fall off on the
floor, leaving you right back where
you are today.
And your bones and sinews?
You can’t count on them either.
They’ll grow and get stronger,
then they’ll play traitor to you,
too, as weakness creeps back into
them.
What To Count On
What can you count on to en

}jomewhere in it is something
called a mind, and it is this that
will give you most joy or most

or an interior enemy that will de

young, however, and it will sus
tain you when you are old.
What lies ahead, kid? Well,

human drama, as old as the gar
den of Eden, as new as you.
Peace blankets you now, but you
have come into a world where the
war of the guided muscle is giving
way to wars of the guided missiles.
No child in history ever was
born on a more hopeful morning
—or faced a more terrible night.
It will be your job on your day to
make or break the long dreams of
mankind. Good luck, kM. And
a happy new life at the start of a
Happy New Year!

Georgia General
Assembly Session
Set January 14
ATLANTA, — (GPS) — The
state’s legislative mill will start
up again on Capitol Hill in At
lanta Jan. 14. It will consume the
last 30 days bf the regular session
held last year which, during the
40 working days, turned out many
far-reaching acts.
While pre-session caucuses in
dicate a difference of opinion be
tween the Talmadge administra
tion and some legislative leaders
over certain proposed legislation,
particularly that which would have
an effect on the State School De
partment, ad valorem taxes and
toll roads, most observers believe
the approaching session will be a
harmonious one.
Naturally, most observers agree,
there will be the usual popping
off from rabid pros and cons, but
when the whole thing is over it's a
prett” good bet that constructive
legislation will have been cnacted
with a minimum of ranting. In
other words, it is expected that
Georgia’s lawmakers this time will
render the same high type of ser
vice to the people they did last
year. ?
Among the more publicized mea
sures likely to be controversal are
these:
The State School Department.
Solons will be offered a choice of
members elected by the people in
each congressicnal district; (2)
a member to be elected by state
legislators from each congressional
district, or (3) appointed by the
governor with approval of the
Senate. As to the school superint
endent, some think he should be
elected by the board; others think
he should continue to be elected
by the people.
A constitutional amendment to
abolish the state ad valorem tax,
Gov. Talmadge advocates abolish
ing it as a source of state re
venue, leaving it to cities, coun
ties and school districts.
Creation of a Turnpike Authori
ty. Under this plan modern roads
paralleling Georgia’s most con
gested routes would be construct
ed. This project would be financed
by revenue certificates which in
turn would be repaid out of tolls,
which would be paid mostly by
out-of-state motorists and motor
truck operators. Established Geor
gia highways still would be availa
ble to those who perferred toll-free
roads.
Those are just a few of the ma
jor items scheduled to tome be=
fore the General Assembly dur
ing the approaching 30-day ses
sion. What will actually come out
of the sessjon, of course, remains
to be seen.
Top In 1951.
By GENE HANDSAKER
AP Newsfeatures Writer
HOLLYWOOD—Tragedy is the
vehicle that has carried most of
1951’'s movie actresses to the
heights where critics’ praises are
the sweetest and fans’ applause the
loudest.
Insanity, unwed motherhood,
murder—old dramatic mainsprings
—have powered several plots
whose heroines appear among the
brightest bets for Oscar honorsl
next March. |
Vivien Leigh in “A Streetcar
Named Desire,” for instance.
Twelve years ago she copped the
Academy award as the spitfire
Southern beauty, Scarlett O'Hara,
in ‘Gone With the Wind.”
Now the British star is probably
the outstanding feminine perform
er of the past year as another
Southerner, pathetic Blanche Du-
Pois in the screen adaptation of
Tennessee Williams® stage hit.
Miss Leigh played the role for
‘nine months on the London stage.
'Shy, bitter, secretly scheming,
' Blanche is a tarnished belle who
tries to live down a sordid past in
new surroundings with her sister
and brother-in-law in a shabby
New Orleans flat. She goes mad
after being raped by her brother
in-law (Marlon Brando, who per=-
formed in the Pulitzer Prize play
for two years on Broadway).
Then there’s Eleanor Parker as
the wife of a cruel, criminal-hat
ing police detective (Kirk Doug
las) in “Detective Story.” His in
’tense love for her turns to bitter
ness when he learns she bore a
!baby out of wedlock before they
‘met.
Miss Parker extracts the full
dramatic impact from her role as
several interconnecting sub-plots
swirl through a busy day in a
Manhattan precinct police station.
She was nominated for an Oscar
last year for her performance as a
prison inmate in “Caged.” The
portrayal won her the award at
the Venice, Italy, International
Film Festival as the outstanding
actress of 1949.
Shelley Winters, one-time five
and-dime clerk, gives far and
away the finest performance of
her seven-year film career in “A
Place In the Sun.” In this adap
tation of Theodore Dreiser’s novel,
“An American Tragedy,” she is a
factory worker who befriends a
lonely newcomer to the produc
tion line (Montgomery Clift).
When she becomes pregnant,
barring his romantic progress with
a rich young society beauty
(Elizabeth Taylor), he half-acci
dentally drowns her in a lake., A
jury convicts him of murder.
Miss Winters’ acting is her best
since 1947 s “A Double Life’—in
which, coincidentally, she was
murdered by Ronald Colman. Drab
and deglamorized in “A Place in
the Sun,” she played the role
without even lipstick. A $4 ready
to-wear dress was her inost ex
pensive item of wardrobe.
In contrast, Miss Taylor had 18
wardrobe changes, ranking from a
bathing suit to evening gowns.
One of the latter cost S4OO. Liz,
by the way, turns in the best job
of her young career as the glitter
ing socialite in this film.
More on the sad than the tragic
side is Jane Wyman’s depiction of
a baby-nurse in ‘The Blue Veil.”
In a long career in which she ages
with the aid of plastic wriaikles
and artificially grayed hair, she
lovingly takes care of a succession
of captivating babies and children. ‘
Jane’s sensitive acting in this
frank tear-jerker is her most mov
ing since she won an Oscar, in
1948, as a deaf-raute in “Johnny
Belinda.” Shortly before making
CRTNRP LRI EANR NI v N ER D
TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1952.
“The Blue Veil,” she demonstrat
ed her versatility by ecavorting
merrily through a romantie eom
ery, “Here Comes the Groom,”
with Bing Crosby,
The most-discussed performance
by a newcomer in a relatively
minor role is that of Lee Grant as
a shoplifter in “Detective Story.”
Miss Grant originated the role
in the Broadway version and then
switched to another ;;ay after a
few months in fear of getting into
an acting rut,
She plays a Bronx-accented
first-offender, man-hungry and
amusingly pathetic, who waits
timidly for night court te open
while a detective types out his
report of her case, Her final exit
got loud applause from a iarge
preview audience here.
Miss Grant, who says she’s in
her early 20’s, was born Lyova
Rosenthal in Manhattan, She
started her career, at 15, as a
night-club singer in Philadelphia. .
“l decided I needed a snazzy
name, so I selected Lee Grant,”
she told questioners here, adding
that she’s related to neither of the
Civil War generals who bore those
names.
~ The name causes confusion as to
L her sex. While she was here,
working in the film, she received
' a telegraphed invitation to a char
ity affair, a stag party. “Thanks®
! she wired back, “but I'm a doe.”
| Kim Hunter gives a strong per=
' formance as Brando’s passionately
}adoring wife in “Streetcar.” She,
| like him, is from the New York
| cast.
An interesting newcomer in the
music-spectacle field is Leslie
Caron, a French dancer. Gene
Kelly and his wife discovered her
in a Paris ballet. She makes her
Hollywood debut as Kelly’'s ro=
mantic and dancing teammate in
“An American in Paris.”
Deborah Kerr performs eapably
in M-G-M’s super-spectacle, “Quo
Vadis,” as a Christian hostage
loved by a Roman warrier (Robert
Taylor). She is suitably devout,
brave, and steadfast. But in such
a lavish, nearly $7 million produc
tion, surrounded by so many ma
jor characters and stupendous
scenes, shae never has a chance to
shine forth to a dominating de
| gree.
