Ador Tone Spits
In Face Of Movie
Columnist-Critic
- *4' ' ;
Actor Franchot Tone was arrest-
ed on a battery charge early to-
day for allegedly spitting in the
face of a filmland columnist in
Ctro's Restaurant.
Sheriff's deputies said Tone
was arrested on a citizen's com-
plaint signed l>y Columnist Flora-
bel Mull- after a scene at the
swank. Sunset Strip night spot.
Deputies said the light started
shortly after Tone, his new wife,
^Vctress Barbara Pay ton, and an
Unidentified middle-aged wom-
an entered Giro's and took a ta-
ble.
Tone walked to a table >vhere
Miss Muir and her husband,
Denny Morrison, were seated and
made an uncomplimentary re-
mark to the columnist.
The actor then looked at Mor-
rison and said, "is this your doc-
tor of psychiatrist?" deputies re-
ported.
At that point, they said, Tone
lemarked, "I'm going to spit in
your eye" and did.
A spokesman for Giro's said
Tone also kicked Miss Muir in
the shin.
Morrison lunged at Tone and
a brief scrap ensued before wait-
ers rushed in and separated the
men. Miss Muir then called
sheriff's deputies, who carted the
actor to Hollywood sheriff's sub-
station, where he was held un-
4il the columnist signed a com-
plaint.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. :(<)
(UP) — The Pacific Coast, en-
joying its most robust football
season since the glory days pri-
or to World War II, lias a doz-
en full-fledged All-America can-
didates this year.
Probably two or three at the
most will make it all the way,
but there is some talent avail-
able that already has the profes-
sional scouts licking their lips.
Foremost among these is Pat

Most observers, including oppos-
ing coaches, believe the Trojan

Sugar Bowl Choice
COI.I.KGK PARK. Mil.. Oct.
(UP) — Coach .lim Tatum
stubbornly refused to talk about
the Sugar Howl game today, al-
though it has been announced
that his unbeaten Maryland team
is under consideration for the
big post-season classic in New
Orleans.
"We've still got four games to
play," was the only comment
the skipper of the Southern Con-
ference powerhouse would make.
Charles Zatarain, head of the
mid-winter sports association
.which sponsors the Sugar Bowl
! game on New Year's Day, said
yesterday that the group was
| surveying unbeaten teams ar-
ound the nation, including Mary-
j land. And he admitted Sugar
i Bowl scouts were impressed by
j what they saw at Baton Rouge,
| La., last 'Saturday night when
I Maryland steamrollered Louisi-
ana State, 27 vo 0.
Tatum said he was aware that
Sugar Bowl scrtids had Watched
his team in tl. < - ictory. Fur-
ther than that i.e wouldn't say,
but rooters for the "terrific ter-
rapine" wc.'t whooping up the
bowl-game talk.
Texans Block Out
Stiffer Penalty
In Wetback Laws
WASH INGTON (UP)—Texas
congressmen have blocked a
House immigration subcommit-
tee report proposing much stiffer
penalties fot hiring or helping
"wet-back" Mexican farm labor-
ers who enter the country IIleg-
al 1 \". it was disclosed here.
The report, written by Dr.
Francis S. Wilder 1 f La Fayette
College after an investigation,
recommended t'p to two years in
prison and a $."i,()0() fine for any-
one employing, harboring or
tarnsporting an illegal immi-
grant away from the Mexican
border.
The Texans. headed by Rep.
.I. Frank Wilson of the House
judiciary committee which most
approve tne report, objected par-
ticularly to a suggestion that im-
migration officers be allowed to
search any vehicle or building,
except a private home, without a
warrant if they think it holds il-
legal entrants.
The immigrants are called
wet-backs because many in years
past have entered the United
States by wading the Rio Grande
river. The report said they are
seriously affecting the wages,
economy, living standards and
health of the regions into which
they slip to work for the Ameri-
ca" dollar.
The Texas lawmakers, all
Democrats, said they will insist
oil oubl'c heatings on the issue
—something Dr. Wilder did not
conduct to adow Texas farmers
and others to present their views
before any formal recommenda-
tions are made.
Other states affected are Cali-
fornia. New Mexico and Arizona
and sometimes Louisiana and
| Florida.
Wilson said the Texans re-
I cognizes that the illegal imrni-
! grant creates a problem that
j must be dealt, with but that they
want "a reasonable bill"
"This report went much fur-
| ther than the law in several re-
Igards." he told a reporter. "We
j don't, want to put everybody in
jail that even saw a wetback."

the Louisiana Association of
Broadcasters all television and
frequency modulation (FM) sta-
tions will have to leave the air
Immediately and stay off when
an alert is sounded. "'Guided mis-
siles work beautifully on FM and
TV channels." he explained.

lation (AM) stations will remain

ber (2,500) will help to confound
enemy bombers."
