Stunt Man Dies
In Plane CrasK
VAN NUYS, Cal., Feb. 6 VFIA dare
devil of Hollywood who had charmed
the dangers of film stunts for 16
years spun Into the ground and In
stant death Friday In performing a
falling leaf, one of the most haz
ardous of alrplano feats, for a film
production.
Tbe flier was Leo Komls, 38, as
famous as a stunt man in Holly
wood as Douglas Fairbanks Is as an
actor.
The accident occurred as Nomle'
plane slipped and fluttered earth
ward after an aerial dog fight In imi
tation of a plane which had been
crippled by an enemy ship. As the
ship wobbled down from an altitude
of about 1000 feet,- the make-believe
suddenly was converted Into stark
tragedy. The plane spun viciously
and hurtled into the death, killing
Ncmls. The motor was burled more
than eight feet in the ground.
The picture, "Sky Brides," under
production by Paramount, features
Richard Arlen, Jack Oakle and
Frances Dee.

"Alexander Hamilton"
One of George Arliss's most recent

' COMING TO LIBERTY
JAPAN WILL SEND
MORE TROOPS TO
I SHANGHAI AREA
(Continued From Page One)
today the firing was heavier than It
had been alt yesterday.
The small arms were silent as the
big guns Jarred the city. It was not
possible to go close to the lines, but
from the sound the six-inch pieces
hrtd been Bet up close to the Japanese
headquarters In the Hongkew area.
Not long before this phase of tho
battle began the associated press
correspondent, touring behind the
Chinese lines, saw reinforcements
coming up and the battle-worn vet
erans going out.
i The 19th Chinese army is supposed
to bo the best fighting unit in tho
country, but to western eyes they
flocmcd deficient in training and cer
tainly they lacked much In equip
ment. ; nut'
1 some Wenpouti Antiquated
! They carried guns of a dozen var
ieties, some of them antiquated long
barreled pistols and some of them
rifles long outmoded. A few wore
steel helmets obviously taken from
tho Japanese, but most of them had
no helmets at all.
Tho most impressive thing about
them was their extreme youth. Many
of them certainly wero not more
than 14 years old. Nevertheless these
youngsters were as stoical as any
votcran who ever wos under fire.
I Behind the Chinese front line an'
Intricate system of trenches seamed
tho countryside and there were scores
of sandbag shelters In exposed spots.
, Staiigcly, well Inside the Chinese
territory a squad of Japanese blue-
jackets stood guard over a Japanese
cotton mill. The place bristled with
! machine guns but so far there has
been no attack on tho mill, although
, the bluejackets were in constant
I danger from snipers.
Kcfugocs on Roads
There was still a considerable clvll-
' lan population close up behind the
lines, but the roads away from the
zono of battle were crowded with
I refugees.
On the rood to Nanking especially
It was very difficult to pilot an auto-
' mobile through the streom of hu
manity. Tho big parado of Chinese
under heavy burdens of their house
hold goods also was marching stead
ily along the tracks of the railway
to Nanking.
Every now and then a Japanese
airplane droned overhead. Nobody
could see it In the dark, but at the
sound the crowds would throw them
selves on their faces, turning occa
sionally to peer through- the night
at the sky.
CORPORAL AT 15
SHANGHAI, Sunday. Feb. 7 m
Corporal Zee, of the Chinese army, is
only 15 and not quite as tal as his
rifle, out ne s naving xne time oi
his life.
I He loomed in the dark before an
! automobile touring behind the Chi
, neae lines early this morning and
; asked lor n lift like any hitch-hiker.
It turned out that he had Just
j walked three miles over to Chenju
for a bowl of rice and was on the
. way back to the trenches.
"I haven't slept for two days and
It's cold out there," said he "but
we're having a fine time. When the
real fighting begins we'll drive out
the Japanese and take back all of
Chapel." .

O. N. G. TEST
MOBILIZATION
IS CANCELLED
SALEM, Feb. 6 m Vlans for a
test mobilization of the Oregon na
tional guard, scheduled for next week;
were cancelled Friday by Major Gen
eral George A. White, commander of
the national guard in the northwest
states.
"While the mobilization Is held
annual and is purely a routine of
training, it is necessary to use tele
graphs and radio to get the troops
together in a surprise call," Major
General White said.
"A call at thlB time might be mis--understood
by the public as a mili
tary gesture, rather than an annual'
routine event. This especially Is true
since It Is Impracticable to give out
advance notice of the assembly cov
ering 31 counties.
"Therefore the 'test will be post
poned until later in the year."
