STAR CHANGES
COLOR OF HAIR
Gloria De Haven, who had a brief
fling at being a blonde in her last
picture. "Scene of the Crime,” goes
brunette again in her new M-G-M
picture, “The Doctor and the Girl,”
playing for the last times tonight
at the Capitol Theatre.
The new offering marks the sec
ond straight dramatic characteriza
tion for Miss De Haven, who started
out in films as a moppet star and
began her adult career in musical
and. romantic roles. In “Scene of
the Crime” she played a girl who
tried to lure Van Johnson into a
murder trap. In "The Doctor and
the Girl” she is seen as Glenn Ford’s j
younger sister whose romance with
a married man leads to tragedy.
Charles Coburn and Janet Leigh
are also starred in the powerful
story of a young doctor who has to
choose between his family and the
girl whom they feel to impede his
career.

TRUMAN NAMES
MAYOR O'DWYER
AS AMBASSADOR
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15—MV-The
White House announced today that
President Truman will nominate
Mayor William O’Dwyer of New
York City as Ambassador to Mexico.
Presidential Secretary Charles G.
Ross told reporters the nomination
will be sent to the Senate about
Sept. 1.
Ross said O’Dwyer would resign
as Mayor of New York about that
time. The resignation will mean a
mayoralty election campaign in
New York this fall.
O’Dwyer, 60. has been Mayor of
New York since 1945. He first ran
for the office in 1941 but was beaten
that year by Fiorella H. LaGuardia
who was elected for a third term.
THOMAS LEAVES
AFTER COLLECTING
ALASKAMATERIAL
On the eve or his departure
after two weeks In Juneau, Lowell
Thomas added to the wealth of1
material he has obtained here by J
conferring with another Eastern j
visitor—Dr. Louts O. Quam of the ]
Office of Naval Research.
Last night, the two got together
at the Juneau Hotel and compared ’
notes chiefly about the work of l?.e j
Juneau Icefield Research Project
<JIRP) and of activities to the
north. Chief civilian sponsor of
the expedition is the American
Geographical Society of New Yi t*
Thomas, famous world explorer
and news commentator, was booked \
to Seattle today via Pan American, j
enroute to the East with his cam
eraman, John Roberts of Boston.
“The squire of Pawling, N. Y.,M
called his fortnight in Alaska a
vacation, but he has acquired a
vast store of information about the
region, and made several wire re
cordings for future network broad
cast. He and Roberts spent a week
on the Juneau Ice Cap with mem
bers of the JIRP expedition.
Dr. Quam plans to go to the Ice
Cap Saturday, to represent the
O.N.R. for about ten days before j
going to Point Barrow on another i
mission.
, “It's a great work those yourig
men are doing on the Ice Cap,"
Thomas told Quam. "I am par
ticularly Impressed with Maynard
Miller, the expedition leader. He j
has unusual ability—a great dr
ganizer with Immense enthusiasm I
and energy, besides a brilliant
mind. He is surrounded by bril
liant young men.
“I was especially impressed,"
commented the distinguished vis
itor, “by the way the entire ex
pedition help each other. When
the ice lab people needed extra
help—Just plain physical labor—
the whole crowd turned to.”
Thomas said he and his photo
grapher took several trips in M
foot deep crevasses, Roberts getting
some fine shots there.
The most serious "accident” was
a scientific one: Geologists Robert
Forbes and Arthur Gilkey had in
dustriously collected important
specimens to be sent out by plane.
Sludging across the Ice Cap to
deliver them, there was a slip—
and all 200 dropped into a crevasse.
That means re-doing the whole
thing.
Thomas reports that Dr. Henri
Bader, noted Swiss-born glaciol
ogist; his assistant, Gerald Wasser
burg, and Anders K. Anderson, dia
mond drill expert, have been suc
cessful in solving their major prob
lem. This was to get water for
the drill equipment with which the
ice is being penetrated to a 600
foot depth for analysis.
Meteorologist Frederick A. Milan
and his assistant, Charles O. Har
rington, are up all hours of the day
and night, says Thomas. Besides
their other duties, they send out
daily weather reports for correla
tion with all Alaska stations.
Botanist Calvin Heusser is living
alone atop a subsidiary glacier
above the other JIRP camps. He is
making a study of pollen in the
ice, through which valuable infor
mation can be obtained on the age,
speed of advance and other aspects
of glacier activity.
Thomas was especially Impressed
with young Frederick A. Milan of
the University of Alaska. A stu
dent of anthropology, Milan also is

a ski "pro" at Fairbanks. Thomas
even got him to talking of his
war services with the British forces
in Burma and other parts of the
Chlna-Burma-India theatre.
Milan's work in the JIRP expe
dition is chiefly in meteorology. He
has just learned that the U. S.
Geological Survey at Denver wants
to use their triangulation system
in compiling the next two top
ographic quadrangles in this area.
These will extend toward the Ice
Cap from the recently published
ones of Juneau and parts of Doug
las Island.
Dr. Willard Nicholl, the “medical
officer” of the party, and Secretary
Frederick A. Small have taken over
the major responsibility for feeding
the group at the main camp.
"They experimented with the Al
aska cookbook Mrs. Ernest Gruen
ing gave them,” said Thomas, “but
their first try at corn bread was
somewhat sad. Small said he is
sure the formula is ok, but evi
dently their procedure was not."
Two JIRP visitors, mountain
climbing Victor Fritz and Herbert
J. Kothe, have made themselves
Invaluable in the culinary depart
ment, according to Thomas.
This is Kothe’s first visit to Al
aska. He came here after ten days
with the Canadian Alpine Club at
Mallgne Lake, Alberta—the largest
glacial lake in the Canadian Rock
las.
Glacier study is a hobby with
Kothe, who is a research chemist
for the New York laboratories of
Standard Brands. He accepted the
invitation of Miller and others of
the Society, to work on an assigned
problem during his vacation.

Don't Drink If
Here, Says Bandit
If Ain't Lawful
LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 15—
(J’l—Two gunmen who stole $90 from
liquor store owner John Burr yes
terday evidently have some respect
for the law, after all.
One of the bandits lifted a bottle
of whiskey from the shelf and
started to take a drink. (
“Not here,” cautioned his com
panion. “This is an off-sale place.
It's against the law."

"KILLER McCOY"
IS NEW PICTURE,
20TH CENTURY
Mickey Rooney, Brian Donlevy,
Ann Blyth and James Dunn are the
principals of M-G-M's vivid "Killer ;
McCoy” which opens tonight at the
Gross 20*b Century Theatre.
Young Rooney reaches the peak
of his acting career in this story of
Tommy McCoy, tough tenement kid
who achieves notoriety when he ac
cidentally kills his opponent in the
prize ring with an unlucky punch.
Big time gambler Jim Caighn be
comes interested in the young
fighter and gives him a build-up
as a boxer who iriust rely on his
left punch. In reality. Tommy packs
a terrific right, and the gambler
intends to make a clean-up before
his victims get wise. Meanwhile
Tommy falls in love with the pro
moter’s daughtear. Sheila, but
Caighn, wanting her to marry well,
opposes their, friendship. When
Tommy is scheduled to meet Patsy
Cigones, number one challenger for
,he title, Caighn tricks Cecil Walsh,
.1 rival gambler, into placing fifty
thousand on Cigones. While drunk,
Tommy’s weakling father, Brian, re
veals that Caighn is backing Tommy
which results in Walsh’s henchmen
kidnapping both Brian and Sheila.
He then notifies Tommy that to
insure their safety he must throw
.he fight in the eighth round. The
suspense that is engendered up to
the story’s thrilling climax makes
for explosive dramatic material.
Rooney, usually seen in comedy
parts, once again reveals his re
markable versatility in his straight
vole as the "Killer,” and is given
orilliant support by Brian Donlevy
as the glib tongued Caighn, and
Blyth as the appealing Shaila, and
James Dunn as the young prize
fighter’s ne’er-do-well father.
