Buddy Baer Required j
Special Bed During
Filming of “Quo Vadis”
, Buddy Baer, former prize-fight
er and current actor in M-G-M’s
“Quo Vadis,” insisted on a unique
clause in his contract before leav
ing for Rome, Italy, for his part
as Deborah Kerr’s bodyguard in
the epic Technicolor drama show
ing soon at The Theater. He asked
for a bed adequately suited to his
six-foot seven-inch frame!
Because the Grand Hotel, where
Baer stayed while in the Italian
capital, did not have a bed to fit
him, it was found necessary to
build a brand new one to accom
modate the actor’s giant dimen
sions, which were on a scale com
parable to the spectacular nature
of “Quo Vadis.”

Youth Asks Eisenhower
To Save His Dutch Father
On Trial for His Life
ANCHORAGE WP>—1The 24-year
old son of a retired Dutch navy
officer Saturday asked the public
and President Eisenhower to help
him in a fight to save his father,
who is on trrial for his life in In
donesia.
The son is Pfc. John W. Jung,
of Fort Richardson, who came to
America in 1950 and entered the
ILS. Army at New Orleans in
Nov. 1954.
His father is Lt. Cmdr. Leon
Jungsehlager, once stationed at
Jackson, Miss., and veteran of
service in the Dutch East Indies
during World War II.
The father has been on trial for
more than a year on subversion
charges which young Jung says
are completely false. The Indo
nesian prosecutor has demanded
the death penalty, accusing Jung
sehlager of aiding a fanatical Da
gul Islam group dedicated to the
overthrow c*f the Indonesian gov
ernment.
The navy officer was arrested
in Djarkarta, Indonesia, Jan. 30,
1954, with 33 other Dutchmen
while working for a shipping con
cern. Jung says the prosecution
has continued even though Dutch
witnesses have testified that
Jungsehlager was in Holland at
the time of the alleged treason.
Astronomy Notes
J
By OLAF HALVERSON
Because the planet Venus ro
tates once during a revolution
around the sun, the day on Venus
must, last forever and its night
side has only one long night.
It is believed that this condition
may cause storms of frightful in
tensity upon its surface. The high
air currents on the daylight side
of the planet must move rapidly
to the dark, cold side with the
cold air near the surface of the
dark side moving rapidly to the
torrid side.
This condition may tend to
equalize the two extremes of cli
mate. Since Venus is 30 million
miles closer to the sun that the
earth, the planet may have a high
er temperature. The heat may be
greatly modified by clouds which
are always in the sky.
The orbit of Venus is nearly
circular and the planet completes
a circuit around the sun in 225
days.
