Underwater! (RKO Radio). Fill a bathing suit with Jane Russell, toss into water and mix well into a $3,000,000 movie. Season the movie with submarine photography, a few sharks, two treasurehunting skin-divers and one sunken Spanish galleon. The result is likely to be a lot of bullion. By the time Skin-Divers Richard Egan and Gilbert Roland surface with the gold ingots, Jane has displayed her more notable talents in high-cut shorts, low-cut dresses, pajamas, a nightgown, one-piece and two-piece swim suits. Her clothes designer can hardly be held responsible for the shape...
...Angeles. "Disneyland" opening next July, will be able to handle 10,000 cars and 40,000 people a day.

From their union evolved the modern Blasket Islanders: tall, rawboned Celtic fishermen who speak little but Gaelic but have the jet black hair...
Memorial Hall, that great, disputed, stranded galleon of the Harvard state celebrates its 75th birthday this year. Once described as "the most frightening building in greater Boston," praised as a "great, bristling brick Valhalla," it has served generations of Harvard men in its multiplicity of function regardless of architectural merit...
...Argylls and those residents of Tobermory who can still hear the captain's dog howling on their beaches at night, hope lived on, and the search went forward. The MacLeans were not talking. There is also a legend that everything worth taking from the sunken galleon was taken 300 years ago-by a MacLean...
