TV cameras will begin to roll at 7 p.m. The auditor ium, which seats will be filled to capacity at that hour with the best-known. best-dressed, best-paid personalities in the world.

Fans Get Seats Their arrival will be her alded by fans outside the auditorium. Bleachers seating 1,500, which will be free and filled on a first-come. first-served basis, will be erected outside so fans can the stars and executives of the motion picture world as thev arrive. For some of the arrivals, the next few hours will be tense ones as thev wait to hear whether thev have won Oscars. Five Best Major interest will be on the acting awards and on which of five nominated pictures is voted the best of the year.

In the comnetiton for th best i ur award are "America America." "Cleopatra." "How the West Was Won." "Lilies of the Field" and "Tom Jones." Candidates for the best performance by an actor are Albert Kinney "Tom Jones," Richard Harris in This Sporting Life" Rex Harrison in "Cleopatra," Paul Newman in "Hud" and Sidney Poitier in "Lilies of the Field." Supporting Actors The five nominees for the best actress Oscar are Leslie Caron in "The L-Shaped Room," Shirley MacLaine ih "Irma La Douce," Patrica Neal in "Hud," Rachel Roberts in "This Sporting Life" and Natalie Wood in "Love With the Proper Stranger." Nominees for best per formance by an actor in a supporting role are Nick Adams in "Twilight of Honor," Bobby Darin in "Captain Newman, M.D.," Melvyn Douglas in "Hud," John Huston in "The Cardinal" and Hugh Griffith in "Tom Jones." Nominated for best performance by an actress in a supporting role are Diane Cilento, Edith Evans and Joyce Redman, all in "Tom Jones," Margaret Ruther ford in "The V.LP.V and Lilia Skala in "Lilies of the Field."

Its a dizzy training rou-l tine, to say the least, and ifj you're not careful it can be come embarrassingly nauseating.

Just don't nod your head i 1 or turn without trunKing or you may spin to me tioor with your stomach in violent revolt. Times photographer larry bnarkey and 1 rode the "V-Comet" centrifuge at General Dynamics Astro-) nauues nere to experience the rotational stresses of ar tificial gravity. Can Affect Senses We found they can smear your co-ordination, trick your eyesight wreck your equilibrium, dizzy your brain, stumble your walk. tumble you like a drunk and sicken you beyond control unless you maintain a stiff upper lip! But we found also that you can learn to live with these vertigo forces, that your confused brain begins, atter awhile, to adapt to this strange vortex of sensory disruption and tells you how to combat it. At Astronautics, home of the Atlas ICBM, a team of scientists and doctors is investigating the physical effects imposed on man by ar tificial gravity, with a eoal of defining engineering requirements for space sys tems design.

it artificial gravity is re-i quired in space, it will be established by rotation of a spacecraft in some manner to exert centrifugal force and thus simulate earth's gravity. The problem is to define the optimum speed and ra dius of rotation and the de gree of system stability re quired to permit maximum performance by man in space. It may be, of course, that artificial gravity will not be needed, that astronauts can live and work for extended periods in the weightless space environment without ill effect. But scientists and medical experts suspect that such simulation will be required to prevent (1) atrophy in anti gravity muscles through disuse. (2) loss of bone calcium through lack of gravity pressure, 3) im pairment of the cardio-vas- cular reflex that normallv supplies blood to the head.

Research Whole Area Astronautics scientists feel the whole area shouldl be researched, beginning witn a study of human effects. The company- funded study here is being conducted on what -is known as a CEVAT centrifuge (for combined environmental, vibration, acceleration and temperature) on which has been mounted a special test chamber that whirls in a concrete pit 8 ft. deep and 48 ii. in diameter.

Perhaps the bastion manned by the most confi dent commanders, and which bristles with the most powerful defenses, is the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Its supreme commander. James Francis Cardinal Mc- Intyre, shows no sign of doubt that Catholic schools are here to stay, and that thev will educate a laroir percentage of Southern California children in the counties of Los Angeles, Ven tura, urange and Santa Barbara as time goes on.
