Nomerama to Feature
'The Big Fisherman”
By popular demand “The Big
Fishefman“ comes back to the
Nomerama Theater this weekend
having been shown during the
Christmas holidays.
The actual production of the
Big Fisherman was launched in
1958 and is the largest picture
of its kind to be made entirely
in the United States since before
World War II.
■Rowland Lee, one of Holly
wood’s most distinguished di
rectors, is an avid student of the
Bible and has portrayed Simon
Peter the Apostle as the powerful
person he was. It is fitting that
the picture be chosen as a Lenten
showing at the Nomerama.
Howard Keel has the leading
role, ably supported by Susan
Kohner, who possesses a talent far
beyond her 21 years.
The picture is • in technicolor
and panavision.

Soviet Planes Drop Metallic
Strips in Berlin Air Corridor
BHRLJN (A — For the second
time within a week, Soviet planes
dropped metallic strips in the
Berlin air corridors in an apparent
attempt to confuse radar control
ling Western flights, informed
sources said yesterday.
The Russians also scheduled
military flights in the air corridors
for the second day in a row in an
attempt to interfere with Western
air traffic. But western airline
officials said they had no reports
of any interference and flights
were carried out on schedule.
Informants said the thin strips
of metal drifted into the edges of
two of the three air corridors to
Berlin, but did not interfere with
flying.

British Air Minister
Believes Soviets
Could Annihilate
U.S. “Quite Soon”
LONDON UT> — Air Minister
Julian Amery chilled the House
of Commons by saying he believed
the Soviet Union “quite soon”
will be able to annihilate the
United States.
But Amery made clear the Rus
sians have no such capability at
present, while the United States
does have the power to wipe out
the Soviet Union right now.
The minister, speaking during a
debate on the Royal Air Force,
said he and his colleagues believe
any attack on the West at this
time would be launched by man
ned aircraft rather than missiles.
And he said tests of British and
American defenses show enough
enemy planes would get through
to devastate both nations.
“We have carried out a number
of exercises of (Britain’s) bomber
command against both United
Kingdom air force defenses and
the much more elaborate air de
fense of the North American
Continent,” Amery said. “They
show that the defenses will take a
toll of attacking aircraft but at
the present enough would get
through to inflict unacceptable
damage upon their target.”
When a Laborite legislator
voiced the opinion that the Unit
ed States and the Soviet Union
now are equally balanced in nu
clear strength, Amery snapped:
“There is not nuclear parity.
Russia could not destroy or anni
hilate the United States in the
way the United States could an
nihilate the Soviet Union.
“I think they will be able to
quite soon, but not yet.”

COSTLY SNOW REMOVAL . . .
MILWAUKEE, Wis. Gfl—Charles
Haubrich looked with dismay at
the seven-foot snow piles along
the street in front of his camera
shop. They extended eight feet
into the street and three feet back
on the sidewalk.
He called his alderman, No luck.
So Haubrich shelled out $1,750
to have a four-block stretch clear
ed of snow and ice. It took three
trucks three nights to do the job.
Haubrich hopes to get some of
his investment back by asking the
180 merchants along the four
blocks for 50 cents per foot of
cleared area. So far he has re
ceived $300,
182 YEAR DEBT . . .
LONDON OP — Terry Bell, 24,
should get around to paying off
his debts by the time he’s 206.
In banckruptcy court Wednes
day, the truck driver admitted
debts of almost 20,000 pounds —
$56,000 — and assets of 20 pounds.
The main debt is 18,957 pounds
for damages awarded against him
as the result of a road crash. He
had no liability insurance.
Bell offered to pay it off at
one pound — $2.80 — a week,
but the judge made it two pounds.
That will take Bell about 182
years.
If you looked at the earth thru
a telescope on the moon, it is
said, the only man-made thing
visible would be the Great Wall
of ancient China.

Weather Chief Says
Tiros IV Could
Have Warned of
Seaborn Storm
WASHINGTON UP> — The orbit
ing Tiros IV weather satellite
could have warned of the seaborn
storm that hit the East Coast last
week if it had been in the right
place, the head of the U.S. Weath
er Bureau says.
F. W. Reichelderfer, Weather
Bureau chief, told the House Space
Committee Monday that unfortu
nately the satellite was over the
southern hemisphere while the
storm was brewing in the Atlantic
Ocean, 300 to 500 miles from the
U.S. coast.
D. S. Johnson, head of the Bu
reau Meteorological Satellite
Laboratory, said the disastrous
storm was “a dramatic illustra
tion of why we are pressing for
observation at least once a day all
over the earth.”
Johnson said it is difficult to
estimate the cost of weather satel
lites, but a guess might be that
it would level out at $50 to $75
million a year. Reichelderfer
added that “there is good reason
to believe other countries are
willing to share the costs after it
is going.”
He said there is some indica
tion Russia is one that is leaning
toward cooperation in the weather
satellite program.
Johnson said it is equally hard
to put a dollar value on the bene
fits of weather satellites, but
“better forecasts can result in sub
stantial savings to the economy of
| the country and certainly in the
saving of lives.*
Johnson said there may be
hundreds of useful applications.—
One that has shown up recently
is the finding of open lanes in
icebound northern seas and in
Lake Superior, which could be
important to shipping. Another is
the detection of warm spots in
the seas by infra-red sensors
which might help the fishing in
dustry.
